Read on to see 5 ways Chioma Umeala stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Hikes

Umeala spends a lot of time outside. One thing she likes to do to stay in shape is going on hikes. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself after a hike in Johannesburg. Umeala captioned the post, “Look who’s conquering her fear of heights, one hike at a time.” The National Parks Service states that hiking has a lot of benefits. “Check out all of these physical benefits of hiking: Building stronger muscles and bones. Improving your sense of balance. Improving your heart health. Decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems.”

2. She Swims

Umeala loves to swim to stay in shape. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself in the water and by the pool. Umeala posted this photo of herself in the pool, captioning it, “Did someone say summer body?” Umeala also posted this set of pool photos, captioning them, “Sun kissed and soaking ☀️💦Fun fact about me: by the time I actually get all the way into the pool (I go at my own pace thank you very much) my friends have already gotten out.”

3. She Makes Salads

Umeala makes sure to eat a healthy diet, and shares a lot of her favorite meals on Instagram. One thing she loves to eat is salads. Umeala shared this photo of herself enjoying some homemade salads, which included eggs, chicken, and avocado. She captioned the post, “Sometimes my version of salads and eating healthy is throwing everything in the fridge in the bowl.”

4. She Horseback Rides

Umeala loves to horseback ride to stay in shape. She shared this photo of herself riding at the Hartbeespoort Dam Resort on Instagram. Umeala captioned the post, “Day 1: Meet Juliet 🐎❤️ She was so restless and fidgety so I guess we were paired perfectly for the trip.” Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Specialist and professor, Dr. Dennis Sigler, tells Texas A&M that riding has a lot of benefits. “We all know riding horses is good exercise. Riding a horse for 45 minutes at a walk, trot and canter can burn up to 200 calories. It you do something a bit more strenuous such as cutting or reining, that can come out to nearly seven calories per minute for the entire length of the riding period.”

5. She Does A Variety Of Exercises

In an interview with Fifty Four Magazine, Umeala talked about getting in shape for her role in The Woman King. She says that she did a lot of different exercises. “My pick-up was at 8am, so I would wake up between 6-7am. Because we filmed during Covid, every second day was testing. We had strength and conditioning for an hour at the beginning of the day. We would then travel to stunt training for three hours a day, then we’d break for lunch, and the next two hours would be choreography and dance rehearsals because there are quite a few dances in the film. We also ate according to a meal plan and were very healthy.”

Spanish star Jessica Goicoechea, girlfriend of ex-Barcelona star Marc Bartra, is showing off a favorite swimsuit from her GOI label. Goicoechea, 26, shared a selfie of herself looking beautiful in a dark blue swimsuit, posing on the beach with her hair wet from a recent swim. “Fav swimsuit,” she captioned the post. “Wow!” a fan commented. Goicoechea works hard for her physique—so how exactly does she do it? Here are 5 ways the model stays fit and camera-ready.

1. Soy Milk and Fresh Juice

Goicoechea swears by soy milk for a healthy start to the day. “[I have] a good breakfast to start the day with energy,” she says. “I don't have a fixed breakfast, or else one day I feel like milk with cereal and another day a good natural juice… I recently discovered Strawberry Tomato Watermelon Soup, and I absolutely loved it!”

2. Weights and Yoga

Goicoechea credits healthy lifestyle habits with her spectacular physique. “Training and with perseverance,” she says. “Luckily I have good genetics but you have to keep fit and for that you need discipline. I exercise four or five days a week, if my schedule allows it. Among the activities I do include weights, yoga or pole dancing.”

3. Pescatarian Diet

Goicoechea follows a pescatarian diet. “I do not give too much importance to diet, I am a good eater,” she says. “Simply, before a shoot I try not to bloat myself to see myself in top shape. But I'm not saying no to anything. Lately I am reducing the consumption of meat and I can say that I already consider myself 100% pescatarian.”

4. Summer Swimsuit Workouts

Goicoechea switches up her exercises depending on the type of work she is doing. “I try to keep my body active during the week at Club Bonasport. I do functional training and yoga classes to relax my mind, while cultivating my body,” she says. “Besides, I'm also doing pole dance classes: I'm learning recently, but I love it, it's fun and it keeps me in shape. Summer swimwear campaigns are a ‘must’ in my work, including those for my clothing brand, GOI. For all of them the body requires more specific training. With [trainer] Ana Luisa this year we have worked a lot on the buttocks and abs to be perfect all summer. I'm working on elasticity. I am flexible, but I would like to be more, so we are reinforcing this point. I'm making a lot of progress and I'm really happy with the results.”

5. Summer Beauty

Goicoechea keeps her beauty routine very simple, especially during the warmer months. "Very natural,” she says. “In summer, if I'm a brunette, I don't even use a foundation! Just mascara (from Maybelline), a little blush and, above all, a nude lip – it's my favorite. I try not to overload it with creams, and I love using toners . My favorites are those with rose water.”

1. She Swims

Chi shares a lot of swimsuit photos on Instagram. Naturally, she loves to swim to stay in shape. Chi posted this video of herself by the pool. She captioned the post, “What’s your favorite vacation destination?” She also posted these photos of herself in the waters of Formentera. Better Health states that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Swimming is a healthy activity that you can continue for a lifetime. It is a low-impact activity that has many physical and mental health benefits.”

2. She Uses A Resistance Band At Home

Chi makes sure to do at-home workouts. For some of them, she likes using a resistance band. During the pandemic, Chi shared this resistance band workout video on Instagram. She captioned the post, “Self Isolation Workout 💪🏽 Training is a massive part of my life and I use it massively to help my anxiety so for me even in isolation I will make sure I still stay as active as possible @rickel_white and I put together 2 workouts this morning to help you guys out all you need is a resistance band.”

3. She’s Learned Lessons About Love

Prior to appearing on All-Stars, Chi was in a relationship with an athlete. She talked about what she learned from that breakup to The Sun. "Last year was probably my unluckiest when it came to finding the one. I’ve been so unlucky in love. I’ve dated people I thought at the time were the one, which was a mistake I’ve since learnt from."

4. She Weight Trains

One thing Chi likes to do to stay in shape is weight train. She even likes to do these exercises while on vacation. Chi shared this highlight reel on Instagram of herself at a resort. In them, she is seen lifting hand dumbbells and doing lateral pulldowns. She captioned the post, “Idyllic spa reset.” Harvard Health reports, “U.S. exercise guidelines recommend that adults do strength training for all major muscle groups twice a week. This can be accomplished through a variety of workouts, including weightlifting, exercises like push-ups and sit-ups, and some types of yoga.”

5. She’s Comfortable With Life

Chi made an important motto for this year. To love life. She shared this in the caption of this Instagram reel she posted for 2024. She captioned the post, “My 2024 motto ... love life and life will love you.”

1. She’s a Personal Trainer

Ogawa is a certified personal trainer, and hopes to use those skills on set some day. “Yoko didn’t have major stunts, so I didn’t have to focus on her physicality,” she says. “I am very athletic though, and would love to play a part where I have to train and challenge myself physically in the future.”

2. Reality TV

Ogawa winds down with candles and reality TV. “The first thing I like to do is take a shower to wash off the day,” she says. “Then I’ll pop on a few candles and cook a healthy meal. I’m guilty of watching TV whilst I eat. So, If I’ve had a long day, I’ll typically watch reality television like The Real Housewives of New Jersey. I don’t know why but I just love rewatching old episodes and reliving the drama. I’m also trying this new habit where I switch off my phone at around 9pm so that I can disconnect from technology and before bed, I like to wind down by reading a book.”

3. Beauty Routine

Ogawa doesn’t mind spending money on skincare if it’s worth it. “I like to keep my beauty routine very simple,” she says. “When it comes to skincare, I like using a gentle cleanser and if I feel like my skin needs some more TLC, I’ll pop on a hydrating face mask. It’s so easy to get carried away with using a bunch of different creams and serums but I like to stick to two that work for my skin type. I use the SkinCeuticals redness neutraliser and Drunk Elephant Protini Polypeptide Cream. They’re a bit of a splurge but they honestly work wonders for my skin and a small amount of product goes a long way.”

4. Family Feeling

Ogawa loved how close the Wednesday cast became. “We all got on,” she says. “We all laughed on set; we just had the best time together. I think what really surprised people was how much we gelled together so well. It really felt like a nice little family. We’d go out for meals, whenever we were exhausted on set, we would act very silly and just try and find ways to make each other laugh. I loved that we were all very supportive of each other because it was a very difficult environment with you know, with COVID. I think the fact that we were all just there for each other was amazing.”

5. Silk Scrunchies

Ogawa is careful with her skin as it can occasionally become problematic. “I’m obsessed with pimple patches as I have acne prone skin,” she says. “The minute I see a spot emerging, I pop a sticker on to not even give it a chance of life. If I feel like my face is puffy, I like to Gua Sha my face and give it a little massage to get the circulation going and give myself a little lymphatic drainage. I do love to keep my skin moisturized, so after I take a shower I lotion up my body with e45 cream. I always put my hair up in a bun using my silk hair scrunchies that my friend gifted me (thank you Pria) as I like to keep my hair out of my face when I sleep.”
