Nikkita Lyons is showing off her nunchuck skills – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the fighter shows off her amazing body in a bathing suit. “Escape the ordinary,” she captioned the Instagram video. Girl. Why you so hawwwtt,” one of her followers commented. “Looks like someone is ready to beat up Surperstars in the ring again,” added the USA Network. How does the WWE star maintain her fit physique? Celebwell rounded up her top lifestyle tips.


1. Fight

Boxing and kickboxing are part of Nikkita’s job. She shared this video of herself sparring on the beach. "Born to be authentic. You hold the pen, so write YOUR story how YOU want,” she captioned it. She also shared a video of herself using different bags at the gym. "Why hit 1 when you can hit 5,” she quipped. Harvard Health maintains that boxing is a great way to build strength, improve balance, posture, hand-eye coordination, boost mood and endurance, and helps increase alertness.

2. Hydrate

****Link does not work****

Nikkita prioritizes hydration. “Before I eat 😡 …. After I eat 😇 lol,” she captioned this photo. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

3. Don’t Listen to the Haters

On Out of Character With Ryan Satin Nikki discussed how she handles negativity. "I might get hate comments, and I might get people that are saying, 'She's only popping because of this and that.' But in reality, I know that the hard work and grinding that has transpired throughout my life is paying off." She also embraces her buff body. "It's thunder thigh day. Thigh gap? It's thigh CLAP B***H," she captioned a video of her workout.

4. Dance

Nikkita dances her way to a fit figure, which helps build strength and promote flexibility, but helps you lose weight and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.

5. Strength and Weight Training

Nikkita also lifts weights. She recently shared a video of her workout, doing deadlifts with a barbell, kettlebell squats, and lateral pulls with a weight. She captioned it, "New beginnings. Me vs me." Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.

Nicole Fortuin is currently starring as Ririka on the live-action adaptation of One Piece and on the show Legacy. She has previously appeared in Flatland and A Cinderella Story: If The Shoe Fits. Fortuin just shared a new set of photos on Instagram. In one of them, she is seen in a swimsuit and snorkel mask. Fortuin captioned the post, “@carel_nel seems to think I say this all the time 🙄 and I know that I don't 🤣... this cast!! ... hearts and souls of gold. Everyone. je l'aime vraiment ici.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Nicole Fortuin stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Speaks Out

Fortuin tells Sarafina Magazine that she wants to use her platform to speak out about important causes. “I realized this small platform that I have does have the potential to reach people. I don’t associate myself with things that are not important to me on some level. I can only talk about things that are important to me. I recently did two PSA’s. One was for Brother’s For Life #RapeStopsWithMe. Everyone is aware of the violence that is happening across the world but in South Africa as well. I had always been really fascinated by what happens in people’s minds and in men’s minds especially because often I am really confused by how people operate and what makes it ok for them. I guess the throughline is my interest in other people but their campaign is about men and men making correct choices and being responsible.”

2. She’s Grounded

For Fortuin, staying grounded is important when it comes to being in the public eye. “I do feel like if I’m not grounded, I can’t be truthful in the work that I do,” she told Sarafina Magazine. “I know that for a fact because I’ve seen it. I’ve seen really great artists become really mediocre and boring and you realize [that] the line between real life and the work you do is thin. My commitment to being honest or emotive or touching someone else is so related to who I am and what I am doing on a spiritual level, on a financial level, whatever it is.”

3. She Swims

Fortuin likes to swim to stay in shape. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself in the water. Fortuin shared this set of photos of herself swimming in a pool. The Cleveland Clinic states that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Like other forms of cardio, swimming can help you burn calories and lose weight. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a 154-pound person who swims slow freestyle laps for 30 minutes burns 255 calories. But that amount varies depending on your weight, speed and stroke.”

4. She Took A Social Media Break

Person,Using,A,Social,Media,Marketing,Concept,On,Mobile,PhoneShutterstock

Fortuin revealed to Iol.com that she decided to take a break from social media due to it overwhelming her. “Just this week I decided to take a break from social media. Precisely because there is so much information coming at you all at once. The last thing I remember seeing is the possible discovery of another planet? One that may have similar properties to Earth and is now being looked at as an alternative planet for human beings to inhabit? I am not sure if any of it is true (it's the internet after all) so please fact-check it before you tell anyone else about it.”

5. She Has Snorkled

Snorkeling offers a plethora of health benefits. Firstly, it's an excellent cardiovascular workout that enhances lung capacity and overall fitness. The rhythmic breathing while swimming boosts endurance and reduces the risk of heart disease. Additionally, snorkeling promotes relaxation and reduces stress by immersing you in the tranquil underwater world, which can improve mental well-being. It also enhances muscle strength and tone, particularly in the legs, as you kick to explore the underwater landscape. Moreover, the buoyancy of water reduces joint impact, making snorkeling an ideal low-impact exercise for those with joint issues. Overall, snorkeling combines fitness, mental relaxation, and enjoyment of nature, making it a fantastic activity for promoting physical and mental health.

Nikkita Lyons isn’t just a fighter—she’s a dancer! The WWE star shared a video of herself having a little boogie in the pool, wearing a hot pink bathing suit. “Magical vibes only ❤️‍🔥,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Lyons stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!


1. She Stays True To Herself

Lyons says the best advice she ever received from fellow WWE star Natalya Neidhart was to have confidence in herself. “To always stay true to yourself. What she said to me that really connected with me was she loved how I am being authentic and being my true self,” Lyons said in an interview on Out of Character with Ryan Satin. “She would tell me how with her and her journey, she was also told ‘you need to do this and that’ and whatever. But she was telling me to keep being me. That advice right there was kind of confirmation to continue on this path that you’re doing no matter how many – I might get hate comments, and I might get people that are saying, ‘She’s only popping because of this and that.’ But in reality, I know that the hard work and grinding that has transpired throughout my life is paying off. So, hearing that from a legend like Natalya is like a dream come true.”

2. She Loves To Box

Lyons is a big fan of boxing-based workouts. "This kind of boxing has many health benefits, because it constantly requires you to think, change your position, and change your posture," says physical therapist Linda Arslanian, director of rehabilitation services at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's hospital. "You're swinging your arms, moving the muscles of your arms and shoulders, increasing your upper-body strength. And when you're in the boxer crouch with a wide stance, with your knees slightly bent, you're strengthening your core muscles, back, and legs. There are studies that show trying to hit a target with your hands improves eye-hand coordination and possibly makes you feel more alert and attentive.”

3. She Drinks Tea

Cup,Of,Tea,And,Mint,On,A,Wooden,BackgroundShutterstock

Lyons enjoys drinking tea, which experts say has many health benefits. "There are really only three drinks that I ever recommend humans consume," says Dr. Andrew Freeman, director of clinical cardiology and cardiovascular prevention and wellness at National Jewish Health in Denver. "The best is water, and next would be unsweetened tea and unsweetened coffee. Everything else, unfortunately, doesn't really have any benefit, and many (when laden with sugar) cause significant harm. It makes my job very easy when people say, 'What should I drink?'"

4. She Loves Fruit

Lyons eats plenty of fruit, and particularly enjoys raspberries. “With a low glycaemic index (GI) and high fiber content, raspberries are a useful dietary inclusion if you need to monitor your blood sugar levels,” says registered nutritionist Nicola Shubrook. “Animal studies suggest that when raspberries are fed alongside a high-fat diet, they help lower blood sugar levels and improve insulin response. This may be because raspberries are rich in tannins, plant compounds that inhibit the enzymes that break down starches.”

5. She Meditates

Lyons incorporates meditation into her wellness regimen. “By observing your mind, you realize you don't have to be a slave to it,” says Emma Seppälä PhD. “You realize it throws tantrums, gets grumpy, jealous, happy, and sad, but that it doesn't have to run you. Meditation is quite simply mental hygiene: Clear out the junk, tune your talents, and get in touch with yourself. Think about it, you shower every day and clean your body, but have you ever showered your mind? As a consequence, you'll feel more clear and see things with greater perspective.”

Sixtine Rouyre has already made waves as a body neutrality advocate. And she can add Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model to her career highlights. Rouyre was announced as one of the 2023 Rookies this week. She shared a new set of photos on Instagram to announce it. In it, Rouyre posed in a tan bathing suit with shells. She captioned the post, “SURPRISE IM A 2023 SPORTS ILLUSTRATED ROOKIE 😈I’ve been keeping this a secret for what has felt like so long and i’m so excited to finally share that i spent my 25th birthday shooting with the most incredible amazing team in Dominica.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Sistine Rouyre stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!


1. She Wants To Inspire Others

Discount Universe - Front Row - September 2018 - New York Fashion Week: The ShowsGetty Images

In her introduction on Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’s website, Rouyre talked about wanting to inspire others. “I think it’s important that people get that representation in [the] media so that they don’t feel this heavy pressure to be something that nobody is,” she says. “Nobody looks like the girls in the magazine—even the girls in the magazine don’t look like the girls in the magazine because there’s so much that goes into it. So I hope people see themselves.”

2. She Knows Her Place

Rouyre wants to speak out about things, but she also knows when she has to sit back. She explained this in another interview on SI Swim’s website. “A lot of body positive influencers are still size 0, and it’s like, ‘O.K. babe, you can talk about loving your rolls, but you also don’t have any.’ And I realized too, as someone who’s a size 10, I still am not plus-sized, I am still not discriminated against in society the way that actual plus-sized people are, so it's not my place to speak on it.”

3. She Promotes Body Neutrality

Rouyre is an advocate for body neutrality. She explained what this is to SI Swim. “I discovered body neutrality, which is basically, instead of focusing on loving my stretch marks, I can appreciate the fact that my stretch marks are there because I am growing. I’m a growing person, I don’t stay tiny forever,” she says. “Or mothers who have stretch marks—your body created an entire human. That is insane, of course [your body has] stretched, like that makes sense, you know? And so we don't have to love them, we can just acknowledge that our bodies are there.”

4. She Cuts Toxicity Out

Rouyre is all about removing toxicity from her life. She encourages others to do the same. “Tell them to shut up or hit the road,” she says to SI Swim. “Somebody is telling you to be [insecure]. Get them out of your space and start following people who are going to tell you the opposite.”

5. She Swims

Rouyre isn’t just a swimsuit model. She also likes to go swimming. Rouyre has a lot of photos on Instagram of herself spending time in the water. She shared these highlights from a trip she took to Italy. In the first photo, she is seen going for a dip in the ocean. Rouyre also posted this photo set from the same trip, which included shots of herself in the ocean.

For Hewitt, fitness is all about variety. “I try to switch it up a bit,” she told OK! Magazine. “I’ve found that if every week I do something different it tricks my muscles into not getting used to doing any one thing. I’ve been doing pilates, I’ve been doing yoga, I’ve done just plain old walking. I wear 10 pound weights on my ankles while I’m working just so that as I’m moving during the day I’m constantly building muscle. It’s not great for your back but I’m doing it anyway. I do a booty workout thing that I just did for Shape, which was really fun. And I do Zumba. I have DVDs and I dance around like a crazy person in my house.”

She Builds Confidence

Hewitt tells People that she wants to build her confidence up. “I think I’m a work in progress,” she admits. “[But] I feel it’s so much better than [it was] a year-and-a-half ago, and I feel like in another eight months, it’s going to be so much better than it is today.”

Over the past few years, Sydney Sweeney has become one of America’s sweethearts with celebrated roles in everything from hit HBO shows Euphoria and White Lotus to big-screen movies Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Anyone But You. In addition to her impressive acting ability, the star is a total bombshell and has one of the fittest figures in Hollywood. Here are the top 5 habits that help her stay fit at 27.

Water Skiing

Sydney has been water skiing since she was a toddler. “The moment I could walk, my mom put me on what’s called a U-board to learn how to ski,” she told Women’s Health. “I remember that whenever we would go by the docks of my grandma’s or my cousin’s house, I’d wave. I felt so cool because I could take off one hand. That’s my earliest memory of skiing, but I’ve been doing it as long as I can remember. It’s my favorite.” How does it help her achieve her amazing body? “It’s a lot of upper body strength, it’s balance, it’s core, it’s legs—you get tired really fast,” she says. “I see such a change in my body after an entire summer of [skiing]. My arms are stronger, more sculpted. My abs are rock solid. But I never look at it as a workout because it is so much fun,” she said.

Morning Workouts

Sydney mixes up her exercise routine, but likes to get workouts over with early in the day. “I like to work out in the morning, so I’ll either go for a run or I’ll go to Solidcore,” says Sydney. The high-intensity, low-impact Pilates-inspired workout “makes me feel so strong, but also elongated,” Sydney said about her sweat sessions. “I feel so good afterwards.”

Self-Care

Sydney engages in self-care activities. “I love to paint, and I love to read,” she said. “Those are the activities that are just for me.” One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years than those who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

She Walks and Hikes

One of the ways she treats her anxiety is by spending time outdoors with her dog, Tank. She takes him on walks or hikes. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Mariana Morais is showing off her ab-fab figure – in a two-piece exercise set. In a new social media post, the fitness influencer flaunts her fantastic figure in a brown sports bra and leggings. “Self Progress & Development is not always linear. Sometimes we take steps back & that’s just a sign to course correct so we can leap forward. If 2024 wasn’t the year you expected, use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, & carry on. It’s you VS you - continue to try, focus on consistency > perfection & you will prevail 🤎 rooting for us all to strengthen our mind & bodies this year,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Strength Training

Mariana relies on old-school strength training to keep her body toned. “Training till failure instead of reps + taking my ab routine up a notch by incorporating weighted exercises,” she wrote about one of her workout tactics. “I can feel my muscles being challenged and am in tune with my movements.” According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

  • Develop strong bones
  • Manage your weight
  • Enhance your quality of life
  • Manage chronic conditions
  • Sharpen your thinking skills

Prioritizing Digestion and Getting Blood Work Done

Other healthy habits? “Prioritizing digestion,” she writes in the same post. “Making sure I get enough fiber & starting off every morning with a juice cleanse. This has helped me feel so much better everyday.” She also gets regular blood work done. “So important to check your levels and know what’s going on in your body routinely! Don’t skip the doc apts, always better to be preventative.”

Hiking

Mariana enjoys hiking. “Elevation therapy,” she captioned a post from one of her fitness adventures. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health
  • Decreasing the risk of some respiratory issues

Mariana does reformer Pilates. “POV: Stepping into the prettiest torture chamber,” she wrote across a video of herself at the studio. Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Mariana recently got an aesthetic body treatment, Emsculpt NEO. “I’ve heard all the rage about the benefits to spot reducing fat & toning muscle so I had to give it a try to target those pesky lower abs. It was a 10/10 & a great addition to my workout routine,” she wrote.
