Olivia Rodrigo began her career as a child actress. She is best known for her role on the Disney series Bizaardvark and High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. In 2021, she launched her music career with the song “Driver’s License” which broke several records. Rodrigo recently shared a set of photos on Instagram of herself on vacation with her friends, Tate McCrae and Iris Apatow.


She Takes Care Of Her Voice

Rodrigo opened up about taking care of herself while touring with Teen Vogue. “I think every show is different. Some shows, your best is you're sick and your body is hurting and your best is not as good as some other shows where you're feeling 100% top-notch yourself. I always try to take care of my voice, I'm always going on vocal rest and I'm very diligent about taking care of my body and making sure that I have as much energy as I can possibly have on stage.”

She Donates To Charity

While on tour, Rodrigo donated to several charities. She talked about this in her Teen Vogue interview. “I'm so proud of all of the work that we've done and all of the money that we've gotten to donate to all these charities through the Fund 4 Good. Something I'm really proud of is that we donated a lot to abortion funds throughout America, [these] grassroots organizations that raise money so that they can provide funding to women who need an abortion but maybe are in a state where that's not available to them or it's illegal. They'll provide a flight and a hotel room and child care so that a woman can be free to get the healthcare that she needs and deserves. Hopefully in the future, I hope that we won't need abortion funds anymore, and I hope that they'll be legal in every state and they'll all be affordable. But yeah, I'm so excited to just learn more about all of these amazing charities that are doing su

She Wants To Be A Role Model

Rodrigo tells Teen Vogue that she wants to set a good example for her fans. “When I do a concert, I look out in the audience and so much of my fanbase is young girls and women, and so I think I feel a kinship and maybe even a responsibility towards them to make them feel seen and heard and protected, whether that's in the songs that I write or in the charities that I support through my tour. This election is just so important, especially for women, and we really have to vote to protect ourselves and our rights — this tour, the timing of it has felt especially important.”

She Educates Herself

Rodrigo wants to learn more about music. She tells Harper’s Bazaar that this is why she sought out a partnership with Sony for their LinkBuds campaign. “I feel like I am always learning about the technical aspects of making music,” she says. “There are so many tools to enhance your songwriting and create unique, impactful music. Working with Sony to make these LinkBuds definitely taught me a lot about mixing and audio quality.”

She Practices Self-Care

Rodrigo shared her favorite self-care practices with Vogue. “I do all the classic things. Call my therapist, go to the gym, I eat really healthy, and I don’t drink. But being creative is the ultimate form of self-care for me. I could journal forever. Putting down all the random stuff that comes into my head. Or if I’m feeling anxious, I’ll make a list of all the things I’m grateful for. I find that journaling is always the antidote.”

1. She Works Out with Trainers

Olivia has been on her “training journey” for nearly 8 years. Initially, she did her own workouts but after hitting a plateau, hired a trainer. “Feeling so motivated again,” she wrote in one of her Instagram Stories. She revealed in another that she works out five to six days per week.

2. Her Workout Sessions Are Intense

Olivia once said that she doesn’t do any ab workouts. “I just do really heavy compound lifts which work my entire torso,” she revealed in an Instagram Story Q&A. Her favorite area to train? “Back or quads,” she revealed. She loves doing bent over rows and squats. However, she recently shared a video of the ab workout she is doing to get ready for summer. “It’s time to cut for summer! I ended up doing 4 rounds x 30 seconds,” she captioned it.

3. She Doesn’t Do Cardio

Exercise,Bike,Cardio,Workout,At,Fitness,Gym,Of,Woman,TakingShutterstock

Olivia isn’t a fan of cardio. She focuses on lifting weights in order to build muscl instead of losing weight. “The most I do right now is walking for like 10 minutes before I start if I feel like it,” she said. Occasionally, she might do some sprints.

4. She Has Her Own Fitness App

Olivia switches up her routine every four weeks and shares her workouts on her LivFit app. The subscription includes a few 4-week programs, a nutrition guide, and new workouts weekly.

5. She Has Gained 40 Pounds Since Starting Her Fitness Journey

Olivia exercises to gain muscle, not lose weight. “I'm finishing up my first 8-week bulk of the year on Friday, and ya girl has gained 10lbs and is looking a littttttleee fluffy (although I don't mind it!) 💪🏼 but now I'm excited to start cutting for summer!” she captioned a post. “Fitness is such a huge part of my life; my days really revolve around my workouts and what I put into my body. For some reason, I always liked to keep it to myself and didn't talk about it too much on here, but that is about to change! When I first started my fitness journey, I was coming off two ACL tears and just trying to build the muscle in my legs after having back-to-back surgeries. Now, I have been lifting for six years and have gained around 40lbs (my weight fluctuates) and put on tons of muscle!”

Grace Beverley is exercising – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the influencer flaunts her amazing figure in a two-piece workout set in a mirror selfie. “Spot the girl obsessed with her own business,” she captioned the Instagram Stories image. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Breakfast

Grace starts the day with a big breakfast. “I’m not a huge breakfast person in the week, but at the weekends my go-to has been the same for over a decade now: creamy mushrooms on toast,” she told Women’s Health. “My fiancé uses the Oatly cream to make it for us every weekend and it’s definitely one of the reasons I’m marrying him! It’s just the ultimate weekend “breakfast and it feels like such a treat without spiking my blood sugar too much.”

Coffee

Grace is a coffee drinker. “My go-to coffee order is an iced oat latte. Although I’m trying to cut down and now have a strict ‘no coffee after 12pm’ rule that I make the team hold me accountable to when I don’t have the willpower,” she said.

Greens Powder

“I used to take a whole load of supplements but I got fed up with spending so much each month and taking so many pills. That’s why I turned to the Shreddy team with the idea of developing a greens powder that did the job of all my supplements in one. I remember in that first meeting we thought it might not be possible, but a year (and 30 samples) later one glass of Shreddy Supergreens contains 100% NRV of my daily vitamins, pre & pro-biotics and all the vitamins and minerals I was already taking for hair and skin growth. As someone who’s all about efficiency, it’s my dream multi-tasking supplement. I drink it in the afternoon instead of my coffee and it really helps me avoid that mid-afternoon crash I always used to get,” Grace told Women’s Health.

Sleep

Grace prioritizes her sleep. “I wear an Oura ring to track my sleep, so I know how far to push myself on a particular day as my schedule is usually pretty back-to-back. It usually knows when I’m getting run down before I do,” she told Women’s Health. “I try my absolute best to get 8 hours of sleep a night, after years of trying to push it, I now know that 8 hours is what I need to be good at my job and maintain my schedule across a week. When heading to bed, I make sure to read at least 10 pages of a fiction book. I find it really helps me to separate my brain from work mode and improves the quality of my sleep as a whole.”

HIIT Workouts

Grace sticks to short but effective workouts.”When I moved to London, I struggled to fit everything in and barely worked out at all. It sounds like a scammy email, but the ‘simple trick’ that changed my life was switching to just 10 or 20-minute workouts – it’s great for my mental health and fitness, but short enough that I never get bored,” she told Women’s Health. “That’s what inspired me to create the Shreddy 102 and Shreddy 202 HIIT guides. I now do one of those workouts four days a week, as well as two weight- lifting sessions – I’m lucky enough to have a home gym.”

Olivia Ponton has become a very successful model in recent times. She first broke out as a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Rookie in 2022, and has worked with Victoria’s Secret. Ponton shares a lot of gorgeous photos on Instagram. A few weeks ago, she shared some photos of herself in two brown and white bra tops, and brown pants. She captioned the post, “How do my eyes look? Quick!” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Olivia Ponton stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Doesn’t Want To Impress Men

Olivia Ponton.1Olivia Ponton/Instagram

In an interview on HighLow with Em Rata, Ponton spoke out against the pressures for women to impress men. “From such a young age, we are taught that we are supposed to do the absolute most to impress men. I still fall under it. It's not like I've cracked the coat or anything. I still struggle with it. ‘I'm still like, oh, I'm single. I should go out and wear a cute dress and see if I get boys' attention.’ I don't even want their attention. I don't even like them. I don't know where my thought process is when I'm doing this. And I think our society has just normalized that girls should spend hours getting ready to go out and boys just show up and they're just so comfortable in front of whatever it would be. And I don't agree with it.”

2. She Does Ab Workouts

Ponton shares a lot of her favorite workouts on TikTok. In this video, she is seen doing ab workouts. The Mayo Clinic states that ab workouts are important. “Your core is the central part of your body. It includes your pelvis, lower back, hips and stomach. The stomach muscles sometimes are called abs. Core exercises train the muscles in your core to work in harmony. This leads to better balance and steadiness, also called stability. Stability is important whether you're on the playing field or doing regular activities. In fact, most sports and other physical activities depend on stable core muscles.”

3. She Dances

Ponton is seen dancing in this TikTok. Dancing has a lot of benefits. “One of the health benefits is cardiovascular,” said Kellie Grabfelder, DPT, physical therapist, tells The Cleveland Clinic. “So, it's an aerobic exercise which helps our body use oxygen, which helps increase our heart rate. It gets our blood pumping through our body and oxygen to our muscles. And this can even aid in weight loss for people.”

4. She Uses A Stairclimber

Olivia Ponton.2Olivia Ponton/Instagram

Ponton revealed on TikTok that she likes to use a stairclimber to stay in shape. ACE Fitness states that workouts like these have a lot of benefits. “Improving metabolic health in terms of lower risks of heart problems and other complications, also by definition improves fitness. You can feel your heart working harder and the fire in your lungs when you ascend stairs. And that’s provoking important changes in your cardiorespiratory system that will make physical activities, like running and walking, feel easier.”

5. She Swims

Olivia Ponton.3Olivia Ponton/Instagram

Ponton is seen in a pool in this Instagram video. Swimming has a lot of benefits. The Cleveland Clinic states, “Swimming isn’t just good exercise, it’s great exercise. That’s thanks to the water itself, which offers buoyancy and resistance that makes it easier on your whole body than other forms of exercise…We’re not saying that swimming is easy (far from it!), but swimming takes much less of a toll on your body than, say, running or riding a bike. That’s because exercising in water lessens the impact of your body weight on your joints.”

Christy Carlson Romano is a former child actress. She is known for her roles in several Disney projects like Kim Possible, Even Stevens, and Cadet Kelly. Romano is currently a YouTuber and podcast host. In an Instagram post, Romano revealed that she will be taking a social media break for a project, as she is far from home. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Christy Carlson Romano stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She’s Body Positive

In another YouTube video, Romano talked about overcoming an eating disorder. She says that getting pregnant made her be more body-positive. "Once I had that weight on my body, which I hadn't had, ever, I was really loving my body. Like I was really loving the way that I felt and looked, and I felt like a woman. I had curves for the first time and I felt good. I felt like I didn't have to make any excuses for being too thin or anything like that. I felt really good."

2. She Wants To Be A Role Model

Romano wants to inspire her kids to love their bodies. "I love to talk to them about their bodies now," she said in her YouTube video. "And what's so amazing about inclusion and everything that's happening right now is that the bodies that we're seeing in this concept of all bodies are great bodies. I am into that, because my daughters need to know that their bodies are important, and I express to them, 'Your body is perfect, and you are great, and this body — you get one body, so treat it really, really well.' "

3. She Cooks

On her YouTube channel, Romano cooks with fellow Disney and child stars. Cooking has a lot of benefits. Harvard Health states, “The more people cook at home, the healthier their diet, the fewer calories they consume, and the less likely they are to be obese or develop type 2 diabetes. A growing body of scientific evidence supports teaching patients how to cook meals at home as an effective medical intervention for improving diet quality, weight loss, and diabetes prevention.”

4. She Pushes Herself To Work Out

After having her second child, Romano pushed herself to work out. She shared these photos on Instagram of herself at the gym. Romano captioned the post, “I DID IT! My first workout postpartum and I feel amazing! Getting moving is going to help me feel better the more I do it! I think I was in my head for a long time during my second pregnancy and the last year. Now I don’t even know why I pushed it off!”

5. She’s Sober

Romano opened up about getting sober in a YouTube video. “I didn’t really have any goals, I didn’t really have any dreams, I didn’t have a lot of feelings. Alcohol kept pushing them down. It wasn’t helping me. It wasn’t giving me anything I could grow from. It was a bad presence in my life.”

Kat McNamara is a successful actress. She is known for her role in fantasy and superhero projects like Shadowhunters, Girl vs. Monster, and Arrow. McNamara just shared her fitness challenge for the year on Instagram. In a recent video, she is seen doing Pilates exercises on a reformer. McNamara received a lot of praise in the comments. She captioned the post, “Switching it up!💥New year, new workout adventure! Thanks @laurajquinn for once again putting me through my paces! 🤣 We’ve come a long way from ballet to @alo! 🩰”

She Does Pilates

McNamara is seen doing Pilates in her Instagram video. The Cleveland Clinic says that this exercise has a lot of health benefits. “The benefits of Pilates are both therapeutic and preventive. The practice may help you recover from an existing injury or manage a chronic musculoskeletal issue. It may also help you establish a healthy baseline, so that when those injuries or issues arise, you’re able to bounce back faster.”

She Boxes

McNamara shared some of the things she did to stay in shape for Shadowhunters in an interview with Women’s Health. One thing she did was box. “It builds the shape of muscles I needed to look like a fighter, and it's just plain fun," she says.” Boxing has a lot of health benefits. The Cleveland Clinic says, “Regular physical activity, including boxing, can lower your blood pressure, your cholesterol and your risk of heart disease.”

She Does Leg Workouts

McNamara tells Women’s Health that she doesn’t skip leg day. "I know most people hate leg day, but I kinda love it. It's what makes me feel strongest." Piedmont says that leg workouts are extremely important. “Having strong glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings and calf muscles gives your body a strong foundation and can: Tone your lower body muscles. Boost your metabolism as you increase muscle mass. Give you a higher calorie burn as you train larger muscle groups. Improve your balance.”

She Does HIIT

While on Shadowhunters, McNamara did a lot of HIIT. "In order to do the fight scenes, I needed a lot of upper body strength because I would be holding weapons all day," she says to Women’s Health. "High intensity interval training turned out to be the perfect thing for me. I was able to keep up my cardio stamina and build upon that so I could do the fight scenes, which are basically just sprints."

She Consistent

McNamara tells Women’s Health that she makes sure to stay consistent with her workouts. “There were days when I was tired. There were days when the last thing I wanted to do was pick up a weight...but I just had to physically get myself there—to take a deep breath and remember why I was doing it and why I was there. I think that can go for any kind of physical goal that someone has—half the battle is the mental battle.”

Laura Cremaschi isn’t just putting in work at the gym—she’s training with intention. The Italian model and fitness enthusiast recently gave fans a glimpse of her high-powered workout, and it’s clear she’s all about pushing limits. In a new Instagram video, Cremaschi is seen crushing an intense circuit in a sleek two-piece workout set, tackling everything from stair climbing to strength training. With a mindset of "train for what you want to be," she’s proving that sculpting a strong, fit body is all about dedication and smart training. Ready to see how she gets it done?

She Uses A Stairclimber

Cremaschi is seen using a stairclimber in her Instagram video. Stair workouts of any kind have a lot of benefits. The Cleveland Clinic says, “A good cardio workout puts your heart and lungs to the test. Stair climbing delivers on both, as you’ll no doubt notice when your heart rate rises and you begin breathing heavier with every upward step. Improving your aerobic fitness can strengthen your heart and protect it by lowering your risk of high blood pressure and high cholesterol, two key drivers of heart disease.”

She Strength Trains

Laura Cremaschi focuses on strength train

Laura Cremaschi/Instagram

Cremaschi is seen doing a lot of strength training exercises in her Instagram video. In it, she is seen pushing a cart, doing kettlebell swings, and hip thrusts with a barbell. The Mayo Clinic says that strength training exercises have a lot of benefits. “Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories.”

She Does Hip Thrusts

Cremaschi is seen doing hip thrusts with a barbell in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness says that this exercise has a lot of benefits. “One reason why the BHT is so effective for the glutes is that in the supine position, the gluteal muscles are placed under constant tension during the entire range of motion, from the bottom of the movement, when the hips are flexed and under load, to the top of the movement, when the hips are fully extended (Contreras, Cronin and Schoenfeld, 2011). Additionally, due to the supine position of the body, the direction of the resistive force is directly on the gluteus maximus and other muscles that extend the hips. This serves to increase the activation of those muscles while reducing the contribution of other muscles such as the hamstrings, adductors and quadriceps.”

She Does Pull-Ups

Cremaschi is also seen doing pull-ups in her Instagram video. NASM reports that pull-ups are very beneficial. “Pull ups and chin ups are a multi-joint movement, meaning that they engage multiple muscle groups (lats, biceps, shoulders, and upper back). They promote overall upper body muscle development and can lead to some serious strength gains.”

She Runs On The Treadmill

Cremaschi is also seen going for a run on the treadmill in her Instagram video. Treadmill workouts have a lot of benefits. Healthy Talbot says, “With treadmill workouts, you can always optimize the sessions to suit your goals. For instance, inclining the treadmill will stretch out the calves and glutes harder. This will help to tone and build muscle mass in your buttocks, legs, and thighs. Remember, treadmill workouts engage different muscle groups in your body. Apart from leg muscles, lumbar and abdominal muscles will be engaged while training. In other words, treadmill training will tone your stomach as well. Lastly, you’ll get light-strength workouts for your back, shoulder, and arms. This will happen as you swing the arms while running on the machine. To increase the workout intensity further, hold weights while training on the treadmill.”

Joanna Gaines isn’t just redesigning homes—she’s redesigning her fitness journey. The Fixer Upper star and Magnolia mogul has been hitting the gym with her husband, Chip, and the results are speaking for themselves. In a recent Instagram post, Gaines shared how she went from struggling with push-ups to knocking out 50 in a single session. Dressed in a sleek two-piece workout set, she radiated strength and confidence, proving that it's never too late to commit to your health. Ready to see how she stays in top shape? Here’s what’s working for her.

She Works With A Trainer

As you can see in her Instagram post, Gaines works with a personal trainer to keep herself in shape. ACE Fitness says that doing this has a lot of benefits. “Most of us work harder in the presence of others. Having a trainer by your side can provide the encouragement, energy and motivation you need to jumpstart your routine. A trainer can also help you set goals, create a plan to accomplish them and celebrate the day you reach them.”

She’s Consistent

Gaines and her husband are consistent when it comes to working out. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram video. “For the first time in our marriage, Chip and I decided to work out together. We started working w/ our friend @donsaladino in September and when he asked me to do push-ups on our first day I said, ‘I can't. My back.’ A few months in and I've never felt stronger. Today I did FIFTY push-ups! So I'm celebrating and putting this out there... I've let time, age, injury, and busyness be my excuse of why not to workout. I'm finally over the ‘it's too hard’ hump and I'm ready to go! Who's with me?!”

She Does Push-Ups

Gaines does push-ups to keep herself in shape. Harvard Health says that these have a lot of health benefits. “The push-up engages your body from top to bottom. It works several muscle groups at once: the arms, chest, abdomen (core), hips, and legs. Push-ups also can be modified as needed.”

She Eats A Balanced Diet

Joanna Gaines/Instagram

Gaines opened up about her diet in an interview with Health. She says that she likes to eat a balanced diet. “For the most part, I just try to eat a lot of protein during the day, and then not too many carbs or I will crash and not make it. So, I think just drinking a lot of water and being conscious of what I’m putting in my body and being conscious of what I’m doing to relieve stress, like walking and exercising, trying to find that balance.”

She Loves Veggies

Gaines and her family eat a lot of veggies. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself using fresh produce. Gaines shared this photo of a basket of broccoli florets.
