These professional golfers have mastered more than just their swings—they’ve built wellness routines that keep them at the peak of performance. Paige Spiranac focuses on intuitive eating, while Nelly Korda emphasizes the power of consistency in training. Lexi Thompson balances intense workouts with moments of relaxation, and Michelle Wie West integrates fresh produce from her garden into her meals. Jessica Korda prioritizes strength and cardio to stay prepared mentally and physically, while Blair O’Neal keeps things fresh with a variety of exercises. Each of these athletes shares practical strategies that go beyond the course, whether it’s Cheyenne Woods Hicks hiking through Arizona, Natalie Gulbis tracking meals for accountability, or Maria Fassi targeting explosive power. Their approaches reflect the dedication it takes to excel, offering valuable insights for anyone seeking balance and well-being.


Paige Spiranac

Paige Spiranac shared her wellness secrets in an interview with Sports Illustrated. In it, she revealed that she practices intuitive eating. “Right now, I feel like I am the healthiest and happiest I’ve ever been, and so for me, it’s intuitive eating and not restricting myself... If I want to have something, I’ll have it. Always in moderation.”

Nelly Korda

Nelly Korda shared her secrets to training in an interview with Golf Monthly. “I would say go to the course with a routine. I feel like people get really messed up with trying a bunch of different things. If you’re consistent and you have a routine and you stick to that every day you play, you won’t get better right away, but eventually over time you’re going to get better. You can’t make changes and expect to see a result right away. It’s all about consistency.”

Lexi Thompson

Lexi Thompson trains hard to stay in shape. She shared her routine in this Instagram post. Thompson captioned the post, “Day in the life when in season training 💪🏼 . 6am wake up call, strength training workout, straight to practice for 4-5 hours, then spin sesh after 🚲 now time to relax 😂”

Michelle Wie West

Michelle Wie West makes sure to eat a healthy diet. One way she does so is by growing her own vegetables. West shared her favorite veggies with The Beet. “I love my garden. It's something I always wanted to do before I stopped playing. I have so much kale that I make a ton of green juice and green smoothies. I make a lot of salads and pickled stuff with cucumbers and jalapenos and keep them in my fridge."

Jessica Korda

Jessica Korda shared her training routine in an interview with RSNG. “I will do strength work with my trainer five to six times a week in the gym, and I will add cardio into that. That sounds a lot but when I don't do that I feel my body falls apart. Mostly that’s a physical thing, in terms of not being as primed as I feel I want to be all the time; and, I’m sure, something of a mental thing as well. When you feel on top of your game, mentally, it really makes a difference to know you have put in all the physical preparation along the way too.”

Blair O’Neal

Blair O’Neal shared some of her favorite workouts in an interview with Women Fitness. “I am a big advocate of variety,” she says. “I believe doing the same routines or the same exercises delays progress. I switch things up from yoga to cardio, to weight training to pilates. It also helps me to stay interested in the gym.”

Cheyenne Woods Hicks

Golf runs in Cheyenne Woods Hicks’ family. She’s related to Tiger Woods. Hicks also likes to go for hikes to keep herself in shape. She shared this photo on Instagram of herself hiking in the mountains in Piestewa Peak, Arizona. Hicks captioned the post, “AZ in December >>>” Piedmont states that hiking has a lot of benefits. “Hiking is a weight-bearing exercise that builds muscle mass and helps prevent osteoporosis. Hiking can help you manage your weight.”

Natalie Gulbis

Natalie Gulbis shares a lot of her wellness secrets on a WordPress blog. In this post, she revealed that she tracks her food. “Keep a food journal. It’s simple, tedious, and effective. Whether you grabbed a handful of M&M’s or took a few french fries off of a friend’s plate a dinner like I do, data and accountability always work. I track sleep, what I ate and when I ate (so many times I overindulged when I waited too long in between meals).”

Anna Rawson

Anna Rawson shared how she takes care of her body in an interview with Women Fitness. “Foam rolling or any type of massage really helps! I am also a huge fan of pilates and yoga. I take private pilates classes with Kourtney McCollugh and she has totally transformed my body. Pilates lengthens and strengthens all the little muscles in my body which has totally helped my golf swing. I do yoga to stay flexible!!”

Lucy Robson

In addition to her success on the golf course, Lucy Robson has a large following on Instagram. She also shares videos on YouTube. Robson shared this video on her channel of herself doing a yoga workout. The Mayo Clinic states that yoga has a lot of benefits. “Yoga incorporates all four motions of the spine: flexion, extension, rotation and side-bending. Therefore, yoga can prevent stiffness and disuse that also can occur with age. Being able to control the available range of motion in joints is crucial to good posture and decreasing the risk of injury.”

Maria Fassi

Maria Fassi shared some of her workout secrets in an interview with PGA. “One day of the week, I do moderate to heavy lower body workouts in the gym,” says Fassi. “The key is to do a lot of reps with not a lot of weight. The goal is to be explosive — to be fast. It is good to train my body to move fast and explosively because those are the exercises that get me more distance, and who doesn’t want more distance? Another day is all about the upper body. This is where I do any sort of workout that trains for fast twitches of the arm and shoulder muscles.”

Paige Spiranac, a model, influencer, and golf personality, is known for her love of the sport and her presence both on and off the course. Recently, she shared a video on Instagram of herself golfing in a white top, skirt, and pink glove. Beyond golf, Spiranac incorporates various activities and a balanced approach to wellness into her lifestyle. Here’s how she stays fit, active, and healthy.


1. She Golfs

Spiranac plays golf to help her stay in shape. Better Health states that the sport has a lot of benefits. “Golf can be good for your health and your heart. Walking an average course for a round of golf can be between five to seven kilometres. If you walk 18 holes three to five times a week, you’ll get an optimal amount of endurance exercise for your heart. If you pull your clubs or carry them, you’ll burn even more calories each round and benefit even more. Playing golf regularly can help you: stay fit, improve muscle tone and endurance, lose weight and body fat.”

2. She Hikes

Spiranac spends a lot of time outside. One thing she enjoys doing is going for hikes. She shared this photo on Instagram of herself on a hike. Spiranac captioned the post, “Morning hike. Happy and healthy.” Harvard Health states that hiking can help reduce stress. “A number of small studies hint that spending time in green space — nature preserves, woodlands, and even urban parks — may ease people's stress levels. Giving the growing consensus that stress contributes to high blood pressure and heart disease risk, anything you can do to mitigate stress is likely helpful. In that realm, the benefits of hiking remain anecdotal, but outdoor enthusiasts tend to agree.”

3. She Plays Tennis

Spiranac also enjoys playing tennis to help herself stay fit. She shared these photos on Instagram of herself on the court. Spiranac captioned them, “I picked up tennis recently and let me tell you my ‘golf’ wardrobe is thriving on the court... but my body, not so much 😂 I’ve been so sore after hitting! I’m working muscles I didn’t even know I had, but thank goodness for the Medterra pain cream.”

4. She Isn’t Strict With Herself

Spiranac opened up about her approach to wellness in the caption of this Instagram post. She says that she has learned to not be too strict with herself. “I struggle with diet to be honest. I love my sweets and carbs but I make sure to never deprive myself and listen to my body. I've learned I don't have to be crazy strict to achieve my fitness goals. I've also kicked it up with my workouts and am excited to see how my body is going to change in the next couple months!”

5. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

When it comes to her exercises, Spiranac believes in doing a variety of different things. She shared some of her favorite things on Instagram. “I’ve been lifting, I’ve been doing Pilates, yoga, cycling... I think that’s fun to keep it interesting and different, so like trying new things, listening to your body and seeing what works for you.”

1. She Golfs

Golf is naturally the main way Spiranac stays in shape. Circle Health Group states that golf has a lot of benefits. “Golf is a sport that teaches accuracy, focus and concentration. It also encourages creativity and creative thinking, such as the foresight to visualise where and how far your shot will go. Hand-eye coordination is essential in golf – as is knowing where your ball landed. The course can often be a quieter place to learn these skills, without the roar of a crowd or the umpire's whistle to distract you. Golfing is a fairly active pastime, and getting your circulation going means more blood is pumped to your brain. There's been plenty of research into how playing golf affects how you think. Repeated swings improve your muscle memory, and navigating a course gives you a greater sense of distance and depth.”

2. She Believes In Intuitive Eating

5. She Does Squats

Spiranac shared some of her favorite exercises in this video on her YouTube channel. One thing she likes to do is kettlebell squats. Piedmont.org states that squats are a great exercise. “Squats are a compound, multi-joint movement, which means they exercise several muscles groups.

Golfer Paige Spiranac shares her inspiration and confidence with her 4 million followers. On Instagram, on a slideshow of photos of her in a furry bikini outside in the snow, she said “25 days of holiday outfits starts tomorrow on my @passes account!✨ can’t play golf in the snow so I thought the next logical thing to do was go out in a bikini☃️.” Here’s how Paige stays in incredible shape.

She Golfs

She loves golfing, getting outside and being active. “I’ve been getting asked a lot to post more golf content lol and it’s funny because this is the first year in awhile where I actually practiced hard, played some really cool courses, and fell back in love with the game❤️ I played more this year than I have in a long time and honestly playing better than ever. I’ve always loved golf but it’s been a love/hate relationship which I’m sure we can all relate to at times lol. My scores were always tied into my self worth and playing just wasn’t that much fun. Until this year. I’m so passionate about the game and I should’ve shared more of that on here! I’m going to do that moving forward,” she said on Instagram.

She Works On Her Swing

She works to improve her golf swing. “Here’s an easy at home drill you can do to work on using ground force! Using your legs in your swing will help you hit it longer and more consistent,” she said on Instagram on a video of her talking about tips to strengthen your drive.

She's Active

She finds silly ways to be active and get a workout in, like running football drills. “Put me in coach. I’m ready for the NFL,” she said jokingly on Instagram, working out and kicking the ball. According to the Cleveland Clinic, “when you work your heart and other muscles of your body during cardio exercise, this increases oxygen supply to your whole body, allowing all muscles to work harder and more efficiently. Over time, regular cardio exercise allows your muscles to adapt to an increased workload, making regular activities seem easier.”

She Walks

She makes an effort to get her steps in, regardless of the weather. “Rain, snow, or sunshine I’ve been making an effort to walk more on the golf course⛳️ I feel like it makes my rounds better but it’s hard when you’re carrying massive jugs around….those water bottles add so much weight,” she said on Instagram.

She's Confident

She’s confident and fierce. “Golden hour✨,” she said on Instagram, posing in a tan dress. According to UC Davis, “findings show that people with high self-esteem generally have more success at school and work, better social relationships, improved mental and physical health, and less anti-social behavior.”

The sun’s out and so are the celebrities, as golfer Paige Spiranac, Paulina Gretzky, Bebe Rehxa and more posed in swimsuits this week. Spiranac in particular is comfortable doing so. "In the very beginning, it was devastating to me because I'm such a people pleaser and I wanted to be liked by everyone." She would get nasty comments online, so she started to change what she was posting. "But I had this realization....one day, I decided to wear a black turtleneck and black leggings, and the only skin that was showing was my face and my hands." Commenters still said something about her looks. "At that moment I realized I could never please everyone. I might as well do what I want to do and wear what I want to wear." How does she and the others stay so fit? Read on to see all the ways Paige Spiranac and more stay 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!

“I've been trying to eat as healthy as I possibly can,” she has said, “but still not deprive myself—that's really something that I'm focusing on I'm doing more intuitive eating, so if I feel like I want something I'm going to eat it but you don't always have to finish it. And if I'm craving something that mat be a little bad, thenI do that as well. I think sometimes when I get into dieting, if I get extreme about it and then I don't keep it up and that's hard, so I really like intuitive eating.” "We want to be mindful when we're eating. So being aware of what we're eating and how much we are eating," says Elizabeth J. Bailey, a Mayo Clinic registered dietitian nutritionist, to the Mayo Clinic. "If you think that you're feeling hungry, have a full glass of water. Then reassess if you feel hungry or not."

2. Paulina Gretzky

How does she stay so fit? “First of all, I was blessed with incredible genes. Look at my parents! But it's really 70-percent diet and 30-percent working out. It's all about fitting in some exercise wherever you are,” she told Golf Digest once. “I used to run every day, and I absolutely loved it. It was like meditation for me. I also loved kickboxing. What really kept me in great shape was dancing. Lately, I've been constantly on the go, so I don't get to run much anymore. Now I'm doing workout videos every day. If you don't want to go to the gym and would rather work out alone, all you have to do is find a workout on YouTube.”

3. Bebe Rehxa

Rehxa is all about balancing the nutritious with the indulgences. "Pizza's not bad if you have one slice with a healthy salad on the side!" she once said. The salad is a good call. “Dietary fiber — found mainly in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes — is probably best known for its ability to prevent or relieve constipation. But foods containing fiber can provide other health benefits as well, such as helping to maintain a healthy weight and lowering your risk of diabetes, heart disease and some types of cancer,” says the Mayo Clinic.

4. Joy Corrigan

“I love to include cardio into my daily routine. Jogging or walking is my favorite. My top 5 stretches are downward dog, splits, backbends, toe touches, and any other easy yoga moves. Recently I have been using the ALO Moves app to learn new stretches!” she recently said. “Before a workout, I try to ensure I’m hydrated with plenty of water and electrolytes. I often consume ketones for an extra boost. After my workouts, I love to make a smoothie loaded with organic berries, almond butter, frozen acai, spinach, celery, cucumber, and a little protein or collagen.”

5. Dua Lipa

"I try and work out as much as I can," she once told Viva magazine. "I love doing something that’s really fast and quick, like a 15-minute HIIT session which I can do before I start my day. If I’ve got a really early call time, I don’t want to be waking up hours before I need to go and do a workout. So [I do] a high-intensity workout, shower, breakfast, and I’m on my way."

6. Anna Heinrich

“I’m not super-strict on it, but I do intermittent fasting and try not to eat until about midday,” Heinrich has said. Restricting meal times can be good for you. “Eating at night requires our bodies to continue producing insulin during the hours we do not require much sugar for energy. As a result, more sugar gets stored as fat. This is why eating at night increases the risk of diabetes and obesity,” says the Cleveland Clinic.

7. Olivia Pierson

“I cannot leave the house without a bottle of water,” she once said. Hydration is key. “Fluid helps in the movement and transport of essential energy nutrients. Essential macronutrients such as carbohydrate, protein, fats and supporting nutrients that are used as energy for the body are all transported by fluid in the body. In addition, fluids help to remove the metabolic waste that is produced during intense exercise,” says ACE Fitness.

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.

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 … 🤷🏻♀️👀😆❤️🙌”
