Nina Dobrev is sharing an update with fans and followers about an e-bike accident that left her recovering in hospital with a neck brace. Dobrev, 35, shared before and after pictures of the incident—one of her wearing black Alo Yoga workout gear riding a bike, and the second of her in the hospital. “How it started vs how it’s going 🤕,” she captioned the post. “That’s my girl! 🫠Obviously wouldn’t make jokes if you were not ok,” commented Julianne Hough. “I’m ok but it’s going to be a long road of recovery ahead,” she captioned an Instagram story selfie. Best wishes to Dobrev—let’s hope she’s back into her regular routine as soon as possible. Here’s what it looks like.


1. Puppy Love

Dobrev stays fit with the help of her beloved pup Maverick. “We travel a ton and Maverick comes with me everywhere,” she told New Beauty. “Whether it’s New York or LA or somewhere else, being with her is great exercise for me. It’s obviously important exercise for her, too. It’s a great way to get out of the house and have a moment to decompress. I like to put on some music while I walk her, and it’s kind of like a meditation and a great bonding moment for us.”

2. Daily Meditation

Dobrev started meditating during the pandemic lockdowns. “I’ve always wanted to get into meditation, but never had time for it,” she told Vogue. “If I’m being honest, I never made time for it. I was allergic to the concept and didn’t understand what all the hype is about, Now, I have nothing but time, and no excuses. During quarantine, I started doing a quick 15-minute meditation every morning, first thing when I wake up. It’s changed everything, and has really helped set the tone for my day.”

3. Normalizing Imperfections

Dobrev wants to normalize people showing imperfections with their looks. “I get pimples and zits all the time and I deal with them just like anybody else, with zit cream,” she told The Skincare Edit. “Sometimes I walk out of the house with the zit cream and forget about it. And that's just life, it’s unpredictable and awkward and we all feel insecure all the time but that’s completely normal and okay, and everybody has good days and bad days. It’s especially important now to show young girls that and to make them aware that they are perfect exactly the way they are.”

4. Summer Beauty

Dobrev is a big fan of Selena Gomez’s highlighter. “There are some products that I really love for the summer,” she told New Beauty. “And I just cut bangs! So, I’ve been using the Kevin Murphy’s spray in my hair. Selena Gomez has her Rare Beauty highlighter and it is amazing. I’ve been mixing it into my foundation to get a glow, but I also love putting it all over my skin, too. It’s really a great body makeup as well.”

5. Sunblock Every Day

Dobrev never skips sunblock. “The last step of my skincare before I apply my makeup is Supergoop!’s Unseen Sunscreen,” she told The Skincare Edit. It’s super, super important to wear sunscreen to protect yourself from potentially skin cancer. It’s sort of like a primer as well for your makeup, so your makeup stays on better.”

Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev is proof you can have a balanced approach to health and fitness, and still look incredible. The 33-year-old actress posted a photo of herself wearing a one piece swimsuit with pants and a shirt on top, captioning the shot “❣️❣️❣️.” "So beautiful," said one commenter. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 6 ways Dobrev 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 Has An At-Home Gym

Dobrev put together an at-home gym so she could continue to work on her fitness during the COVID-19 pandemic. "I started slowly, over time, accumulating equipment and things that I could use to move my workouts at home," Dobrev told Shape. "When I'm done shooting and I have to memorize the next day's work, I can sit on the bike with my script and exercise, and learn my lines for the next day. I'm really proud of my home gym, I use it a lot. It's really nice to have that flexibility of working out, whether it's really early in the morning before I go to set, or really late at night when I get home from set, or after a long flight."

2. “Mama Needs Some Coffee”

Cup,Of,Espresso,CoffeeShutterstock

Dobrev starts her day with “some real strong, strong coffee,” she tells Harper’s Bazaar. “I do a shot of espresso and then I do a regular coffee and I mix them together.” Coffee has been shown to have protective benefits for the liver—but there’s an important caveat. “We have a lot of evidence that coffee is good for the liver,” says liver specialist Jamile Wakim-Fleming, MD. “You have to consume regular coffee — not decaf — daily to get the liver benefits. There’s something inherent about caffeine that is helpful to the liver.”

3. She Free-Dives With Sharks

Dobrev loves free-diving with sharks and is an outspoken proponent of shark conservation. “If you’ve been following me for a while you know how much I love free diving with sharks,” she captioned an Instagram video. “I used to be afraid of them until I got into the water to try to get over my fear. That's when I realized how uninterested in humans they are. Since then, I've gotten to be in the water with so many different kinds of sharks, and it’s been a dream of mine to swim with Tiger sharks specifically, which I FINALLY got to do with @oceanramsey & @juansharks.”

4. She Loves Bread

Dobrev is not interested in a carb-free lifestyle—the actress loves to eat bread. “Sometimes you eat the bread basket, and sometimes the bread basket eats you 🥖,” she captioned a tongue-in-cheek Instagram snap. “Traditional sourdough undergoes a slow fermentation process, the result of which is an increase in the bioavailability of the bread’s vitamins and minerals,” says registered nutritionist Nicola Shubrook. “This process also starts the breakdown of protein (including gluten), making sourdough easier to digest. Research suggests that the fermentation process improves the bioavailability of fiber and minerals. This is because a naturally occurring compound found in grains, called phytic acid, is broken down and this enables us to access the grain’s nutrients more readily.”

5. She’s a Yogi

Dobrev has a background in gymnastics and is a regular practitioner of yoga. “Despite popular belief, yoga is more than just a physical practice—yoga is a complete program of how to live in the world,” board-certified internal medicine physician and registered yoga teacher Ingrid Yang, MD, tells SELF. “You never hold any posture for too long; therefore, if you dislike a posture, you know you’ll get to move on soon enough. And if you love a posture, you learn to let it go because you cannot dwell in only the things you like—the next posture will be called out soon enough. Thus, it teaches us the natural rhythms of life. When you are uncomfortable, you learn to sit with discomfort because you know it will pass. When you are joyful and want to hold onto something, you learn to let it go because things inevitably change.”

6. She Mixes Up Her Workouts

Dobrev loves to mix up her workouts, enjoying a “workout cocktail” of running, yoga, boxing, weight training, and walking her dog, Maverick. “I’m getting older and more conscious of what I eat and how I eat it and what I do,” she says. “Doing something different [each day] has been the most fun, and I’ve seen the most benefit because you shock your system. I need to sweat every single day somehow, even if it’s just in the steam room. Some days are better than others, I’ll be honest with you. Some days, Maverick gets a shorter walk than she probably deserves, if I’m running late or don’t have it together or press the snooze button 18 times too many.”

Nina Dobrev is celebrating her boyfriend Olympic snowboarder Shaun White’s birthday. Dobrev posted highlights of the couple on her Instagram story.

Read on to see 5 ways Nina Dobrev 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 Makes Time To Workout

Dobrev revealed some of her wellness tips to Teen Vogue. She says that she makes working out a priority. “When I workout I feel good. I don’t know if it’s the endorphins that get released or taking time for me. I don’t think people give enough time to themselves, me-time is almost non-existent anymore. So in that 30 minutes, 45, however long you’re in the workout class you’re focusing on you and you’re doing something for yourself and to make yourself feel better. Not only does it change your body and make you look better, it also makes you feel better.”

2. She Works Out With Her Friends

Dobrev tells Teen Vogue that she likes to workout with company. “Whenever I go with my girlfriends, they push me and motivate me to do better. Having that support system in class is helpful. And also accountable — if you say you’re going to do something with your friends you’re going to do it and go. If you plan on doing something on your own, you might bail on it because you just don’t feel like it or you're lazy or you’re not having a good day. But you can go to a workout class and chat with your friends before, do the class and go to coffee after words and chat about your lives and catch up. So it’s nice to have a community in that way.”

3. She Makes Time To Breathe

Dobrev tells Teen Vogue that she takes care of her mental health. She makes sure to take deep breaths when she’s stressed out. “If you’re in a stressful situation, or if you’re upset about something, you can just breathe in and out a few times and allow for that time to pass. You can be more objective mentally and think about what just happened.”

4. She Eats More

Dobrev revealed to Teen Vogue that she has made some changes to her diet. “The older I get, the more I realize that the more healthy you are in your choices, like I probably eat more now. I probably eat more now because I’ve learned it’s healthier to eat meals more frequently and that will sustain your metabolism. So it’s things like that, learning about biology and nutrition. So I have a higher caloric intake throughout the day, and I feel better.”

5. She Loves Pilates

Dobrev revealed some of her daily habits to WhoWhatWear. She says that she loves to do Pilates to stay in shape. “It makes me feel so good. I go to a studio and/or I have a reformer at home and zoom with my private instructor.”

1. She Snowboards

Making funny videos on Instagram is not the only thing Dobrev loves to do in the snow. She is also an avid snowboarder, and has posted photos of her on the slopes on Instagram. Dobrev is also dating professional snowboarder Shaun White, so the two of them might like to board together.

2. She Works Out With Her Friends

Dobrev says to Harper’s Bazaar that she loves to work out and go to classes with her friends. “Before dinner we often meet up at a Les Mills (fitness) class together - my favorite is Grit - or a dance class, or go to the gym. We'll detox and then retox."

3. She Makes Healthy Smoothies

Dobrev broke down her favorite meals to Harper’s Bazaar, where she revealed that she has a go-to smoothie recipe. "I make the same shake for breakfast every single morning: Sunwarrior protein powder, the chocolate flavor, half a banana, coconut peanut butter that I have shipped in from Hawaii, almond milk, spinach, kale, and cinnamon.”

4. She Thinks About Portions

Dobrev revealed to Shape that she is now a lot more conscious about her portion sizes, and that it has helped her stay alert and active. "I used to eat three full meals and then I would not be able to move after each meal. I would be so full and tired. Now, I eat all the time but portion control is what's important for me-I'm eating more in total but not more at a time.”

5. She Strength Trains

Dobrev also told Shape that she has started to do strength training exercises, and she’s seeing results. "I actually did not do a lot of [strength training] in the past-I only did yoga and ran in terms of training. Strength training with weights and such a regimented schedule has been new to my life, and now that I understand the way it all works, the science behind it, it's changed everything for me.”

Actress Nina Dobrev and Olympic snowboarder Shaun White are spending time in Costa Rica. White just retired from his snowboarding career, and Dobrev is clearly enjoying it. She posted a photo of the two of them on the beach, captioning it, “If this is retired life, should I retire too?” Dobrev wore a stunning red bathing suit, showing off her figure. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Nina Dobrev 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 Does Pilates

In an interview with WhoWhatWear.com, Dobrev talked about her wellness secrets and favorite products. She said that one of her favorite ways of working out is doing Pilates. Dobrev also says that she likes to do Pilates at both a studio, at home, or do a virtual session with a trainer. “I love Pilates. It makes me feel so good. I go to a studio and/or I have a reformer at home and zoom with my private instructor." "A Pilates class will strengthen your core muscles--abdominal and spinal. This will improve your balance and coordination, as well as, your posture. Having a strong core improves every move you make because all movements start from the body’s core. Pilates classes can help to relieve back pain and prevent injury. Exercises are performed laying on your back, your stomach, your side and also seated. The instructor monitors your form for proper alignment and technique," says the Mayo Clinic.

2. She Shows Her Real Life

When you’re on social media, there’s a lot of pressure to exaggerate your actual life, and hide the struggles you’re going through. However, Dobrev says that she doesn’t take that approach. “It’s a constant struggle between Instagram life and personal life," she said to Well+Good.com. "You’ve got to have other things going on. If not, you’ll start living a dull, monotonous life. I want to live life, feel inspired and be genuine. At one point, everything was a filter—it’s not a good message. It’s important to show the real side of being human and not the highlight real.”

3. She Loves Juices

Dobrev tells Well+Good.com that she loves drinking juices and protein shakes with different powders and ingredients. She says that she loves to make juices whenever she’s not feeling all that well, and doesn’t really care what she puts in them. “When I’m sick or not feeling great, I’m all about the juices,” says Dobrev. "It seems like the worse the taste, the better it is for you, so I do ginger, garlic, cayenne pepper, oregano oil—ugh, double ugh— lemon, everything.”

4. She Uses A White Noise App

Dobrev tells Well+Good.com that she takes her sleep seriously. She says that she even uses white noise apps to help her sleep better. “No product is going to replace sleep—if you don’t rest, those dark circles are not going to go away," says Dobrev. "I use a sound machine app on my phone called White Noise. I sleep so much better with it, especially when I travel.”

5. She Uses Resistance Bands

Dobrev’s trainer, Emily Samuel, revealed to SELF that the actress loves to use resistance bands when she works out. “Resistance bands are absolutely incredible,” says Samuel. “They help you get faster and be more explosive.” Samuel posted this video on Instagram of Dobrev using a resistance band while running on the treadmill.

Dobrev likes to do exercises with her trainers that work multiple parts of her body. Celebrity trainer, Harley Pasternak, posted this video on Instagram of Dobrev doing glute raises with tricep lifts. “I love that it’s incredibly efficient,” Pasternak tells SELF of this exercise. “It targets two very important posterior chain muscles, the butt and triceps, and requires very little equipment, and because you’re lying on your back, your heart rate really never gets too high.”

5. She Inherited Her Family’s Work Ethic

Dobrev is extremely hardworking, and she says that she learned this from her family. She is the daughter of immigrants, who moved to Canada when she was a young age. She tells SELF that she grew up watching her parents work hard at their jobs, and that this influenced her greatly. "My mom crossed into Canada to meet him at Niagara Falls with one suitcase and a kid in each hand," Dobrev says. "I learned hard work from them."

Bianca Bustamante is revving up her engine in 2025 – in her workout gear. In a new social media post, the racecar driver reveals she is taking “the next major step” in her physical journey as a race driver “and I’ve set the target high!” she says in a new Instagram post, filled with video clips of herself lifting heavy weights at the gym. “Never been more motivated in my life, it’s not physically easy for a girl in this sport, but I’m super excited to take on this new challenge and the next big step on my racing journey,” she added. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her top lifestyle tips.

Lifting Weights

Bianca spends hours at the gym where she focuses on strength training along with endurance, cardio, reaction time, and reflexes. “You know, to be a driver, it’s a complete package. It takes strength. It takes mental fortitude. It takes reflexes, smart thinking, and survival skills,” she told MEGA Active. “Sometimes it's for the body, sometimes it's for the mind. Nothing more peaceful than early sessions,” she captioned an Instagram post of one of her sessions.

Double Down On Training

In her recent post, Bianca reveals that she working extra hard at the gym. “I’ve been working hard over the years to build a solid foundation, but in 2025, I’ll be working with @j_w_90 and I’m doubling down on my training. Increasing to two workouts a day not just on lifts but aerobic endurance, as well as a better focus on nutrition and rest, in order to raise the bar to compete in the higher formulas,” she said.

Fueling Your Body With Protein

Bianca makes sure to eat enough protein in order to build more muscle and stay as lean as possible to meet the weight requirement. “It’s been a really cool journey seeing my body develop and transform into this whole different person I never knew I could become,” she said. In her new post she added that she is meal prepping. “I’m soooo all in that im even learning how to cook & meal prep better than ever before,” she writes.

Taking Cold Plunges

As for recovery, cold plunging is part of Bianca’s training regime. Limited research supports the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increasing focus, improving sleep, and decreasing inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes post-sport recovery.

Working On Self-Esteem

Positive self-talk is also important. “Of course, I put a lot of pressure on myself, but in the end, I always tell myself that as long as I give my best and I learn from it, any mistake I make is valid,” Bianca explained. “I always try to repeat that to myself that I am valid. I’m here for a reason and there’s nothing I would rather do than be here.”

Brenda Perlaza is flaunting her fantastic figure in a tiny bikini. In a new social media post the influencer, who calls herself La Barbie Negra, looks flawless as she poses on the beach in a neon yellow swimsuit. “#viral,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Wow Wow,” one of her followers commented, while several others added fire emojis. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Jogging

Brenda enjoys jogging. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

Walking Her Dog

She also takes her dog on long walks. 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.

Dancing

You can also find Brenda dancing to burn calories. Dancing is an excellent workout for many reasons. It builds strength and promotes flexibility, 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 or die from heart disease than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues

Swimming

Brenda spends a lot of time in her swimsuit so it isn’t surprising she loves to swim. According to the CDC, swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, multiple studies support the mental health benefits of swimming.

Hydration

Finally, Brenda hydrates, especially after a long workout or sun exposure. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

Model and influencer Claudia Romani isn’t just making waves with her glamorous beachside posts—she’s living the healthy lifestyle to match. Recently, Romani shared a video on Instagram, taking a refreshing dip in the pool with the caption, “Kisses from the 305.” But her fitness routine goes beyond just swimming. From her plant-based diet to her dedication to animal welfare, Romani’s habits reflect a balanced approach to wellness that keeps her looking and feeling her best. Here are the five key ways Claudia Romani stays in shape while living life to the fullest.

She Swims

As you can see from her Instagram post, Romani likes to go to the beach. Naturally, she likes to swim to keep herself in shape. Romani shared this video on Instagram of herself taking a dip in a pool. She captioned it, “Kisses from the 305.” According to The Cleveland Clinic, swimming has a lot of health 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.”

She's Vegan

Romani is open about following a vegan diet. She shares a lot of posts on her Instagram story highlights of herself enjoying vegan foods. The American College of Lifestyle Medicine states that being vegan has a lot of health benefits. “Overall, nutrition from plant-based diets is typically of higher quality than omnivorous diets, as assessed by the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI).28 A whole food plant-based (WFPB) diet is one made up of predominantly unprocessed fruits, vegetables, whole grains legumes, nuts and seeds, and excludes animal foods, with certain selective supplementation of vitamins B12. Sometimes D. Intentionally planned, WFPB diets provide sufficient nutrient intakes for all stages of life and can be therapeutic for chronic disease and overall health and healing.29 The plant-based dietary pattern protects against overconsumption of nutrients that lead to obesity and disease,30 particularly animal protein, saturated fat,31 trans-fats, cholesterol simple sugars,32 and sodium.33, 34”

She Loves Salads

Romani makes sure to work out on a regular basis. She shares a lot of Instagram stories in her highlights of herself at the gym. The Mayo Clinic says that regular exercise is extremely important. “Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help you keep off lost weight.

She Supports Animals

Romani has her own charity, Help Miami Cats. She talked about how she started this in the caption of this Instagram post. “❤️ Guys!!!! I have always loved cats and had many growing up. When I moved to Miami Beach I met a great calico named Chacha and learnt that cats were brought to the city by Mayor Lummus … against rodents. Cats rely on volunteers for their food and water and there’s a huge amount of them. There’s a city program to Spay and neuter with the wonderful @sobecats ladies and the feeding is made official by a City Sanctioned badge, yet new cats keep getting dumped daily sadly and there’s a never ending amount of work, emergencies and so on. I was on a feeding rotation but during the pandemic I was left alone caring for so many as people left town or couldn’t afford feeding anymore …I decided to start my own non profit @helpmiamicats . We feed close to 200 and when Batman got paralyzed took him and other special needs cats under my care … @stevensachs69 with the cat room and the amazing people involved devote their lives to these special souls … My life has changed a lot too … way less spare time, way more sweat and tears and lost the person I had by my side who had sadly other priorities … yet gained so much love from these lovely creatures !!! If you can please get involved in any way … follow @helpmiamicats , share, volunteer, adopt … donate … Only together we can make their world a better place !!! And yes … just me feeding the kitties and talking to them … 🤷🏻♀️👀😆❤️🙌”
