Rebecca Mader is heating up the court – in her tennis gear. In a new social media post the Lost alum shows off her amazing body dressed for a game of tennis. “Game. Set. Match. 2024. 🎾,” she captioned the Instagram post. “Creating quite the racket i see 😂,” one of her followers commented. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


1. Watching Her Diet and Exercising

When filming Lost, “I had to be careful about diet because I put on weight really easily,” Rebecca told Movieweb. “Luckily I lived in a hotel while we were filming, so I had no excuse about exercise. Whenever I had a day off I would go down to the gym and force myself to work out.” 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.

2. Sleep

When asked by QP magazine what she does to look “stunning,” she responded that it isn’t magic. “My part in it is simple, get as much sleep as possible,” she said. What are the health benefits of sleep? According to the Sleep Foundation, getting enough z’s is a mood booster, promotes heart health, regulates blood sugar, improves mental function, restores your immune system, helps relieve stress, and aids in weight loss.

3. Hydration

Another one of her habits is hydration. “Drink lots of water,” she said. 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.

4. Vitamins

A third health habit that helps her look great? “I take my vitamins!” she says. While the best way to get your nutrients is always food, if you are nutritionally deficient, you should consider taking vitamins. However, before you do you should always have bloodwork done to see what you need.

5. Tennis

In her recent post Rebecca plays tennis. According to ACE Fitness it blends together cardio and aerobic exercise, as there is a lot of running around, and hand-eye coordination. "While tennis provides numerous health benefits—improved aerobic fitness and anaerobic endurance, muscular fitness (grip strength and endurance), flexibility, multiple skill parameters (balance, speed, agility and quickness), reactivity, and power—it also is psychologically demanding," they say.

Emma Navarro is a rising star in the tennis world. She recently defeated Coco Gauff in Wimbledon. This year, she also won a WTA Tour. Last month, Navarro shared some photos on Instagram. In them, she’s seen running with her dog, taking a boat ride, and walking. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Emma Navarro stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Plays Tennis

Tennis is the main way Navarro stays in shape. The Columbia Association states that tennis has a lot of benefits. “Tennis includes short bursts of activity, it offers the same conditioning benefits of interval training, which has an unparalleled positive effect on the heart and lungs, slashing your risk of heart disease by 56% (!). Just an hour of play burns between 400 to 600 calories.”

2. She Improves Herself

Navarro shared with CTVNews that she always wants to improve her tennis game. “No ranking or result goals specifically. I just want to continue to improve myself as a player. There are certain areas I am working on improving and hopefully I can implement those into my game and feel confident and hopefully to just feel confident about who I am as a player.”

3. She’s Consistent

Navarro also tells CTVNews that consistency is another big part of her training process. “It’s tough to pick one thing, But I think just consistency . . . maybe that is a little cliche but I think just being consistent day in and day out and bringing 100 percent effort every single day, and being very intentional about how I spend my time on and off the court, and not wasting any time during practice or in the gym and always having a purpose is what I am doing.”

4. She Drinks Protein Powder

Navarro shared some of her training secrets in the caption of this Instagram post. In it, she revealed that she uses protein powder. “Some off court content from on the road,” she wrote. “Reminder to pack protein powder in my checked bag , making furry friends when possible , working on cartwheel.”

5. She Runs

In her Instagram post, Navarro is seen running. McKenzie Health System states that running has a lot of health benefits. “Running may improve your heart health. It makes your heart stronger, lowers your resting heart rate and can reduce your risk of cardiovascular disease. This aerobic activity has been shown to boost your immune system. In fact, one study showed that people who ran at least 5 days a week lowered their chance of getting an upper respiratory tract infection by 43 percent.”

Victoria Azarenka, a world-class tennis player, is always preparing for her next big match, and she recently shared a glimpse of her routine on Instagram. As she geared up for the US Open, she proudly showed off her new workout gear with the caption, “I’ve got the shoes, I’ve got the dress, that makes me…ready for the @usopen ✨.” From her disciplined approach to injury prevention to her love of various workouts, Azarenka’s fitness regimen reflects the dedication of a true champion. Here’s how she stays in top shape.


1. She Plays Tennis

Tennis is one of the ways that Azarenka stays in shape. The sport has a lot of health benefits. The Columbia Association states, “Tennis is an ace for stress relief too, which boosts your mood and keeps your heart healthy. And we can’t skimp over the warm and fuzzy traits it instills, like discipline, patience and teamwork, all in a healthy social outlet. A study done at Southern Connecticut State University even found that tennis players scored higher in vigor, optimism and self-esteem and lower in depression, anger, confusion, anxiety and tension than other athletes and non-athletes.”

2. She’s Disciplined

Azarenka talked about her training secrets in an interview with Elite Daily. She says that having the right mindset is important. Azarenka also says that she is very disciplined, and that has helped with her career. “I think it depends on what you want to achieve. If you want to be a champion, then I think something you have to really work at is work ethic [because] it is fundamental to bringing all the other aspects together.”

3. She Focuses On Injury Prevention

Being a professional athlete means that Azarenka has to be concerned about potential injuries. She tells Elite Daily that she did a lot of research to see what she can improve on. “For me it was a lot of educating myself to just understand, first of all, how the body works so I knew what to do. I'm constantly reading and learning injury prevention. Basically, injury prevention is discipline. It was also a lot about mindset, 'cause I hate doing it -- like, I absolutely hate stretching. But once I started to understand it a little bit more, it became fun for me.”

4. She Strength Trains

Azarenka shared some of her favorite workouts with Elite Daily. She says that strength training is a big part of her routine. “I do power exercises like medicine ball throws and I recently, like a year ago, started doing olympic weightlifting. because it's the most complex movement with the most explosiveness and power in it to help you extend faster and get to the first step faster.”

5. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

Azarenka shared some more of her favorite workouts with Elite Daily. She does a lot of different things to keep herself in shape. “I love dancing. I just went to a dance class in New York. It's called Ratchet Zumba. I knew about Zumba, but I didn't know about Ratchet Zumba... Making your body think and learn different movements always helps you with coordination and flexibility. I love playing basketball, I love swimming, I do paddle-boarding. I do a lot.”

Canadian tennis player Leylah Fernandez is still training on the sand to give her workouts that edge she clearly enjoys. Fernandez, 21, shared a video of herself wearing white shorts and a black crop top, running and playing tennis on the sand at the beach. “Discipline can take you a long way 🫡,” she captioned the post. Fernandez is gearing up for the Paris Olympics this summer—here’s what her training and wellness routine looks like.


1. Tennis For Life

Fernandez has been playing tennis since she was five years old. “Tennis is the sport I love, and I've been lucky enough to make it my career,” she told Yahoo Life Singapore. “I started playing tennis when I was five and played other sports growing up. One of the benefits of playing tennis is that it's a sport you can play your whole life. So many people play into their 70s or even 80s. All you need is a racket, a tennis ball, and a partner to play with. I love that tennis has given me a platform to inspire younger generations and show them that you can reach your goals if you work hard and are dedicated.”

2. Sand Workouts

Fernandez likes working out on sand for the extra challenge. “We try to work out at the beach as much as possible because the sand makes the movement a little harder to execute,” she told Body+Soul. “But the most important thing is that working out at the beach helps me clear my mind with the sound of waves. It rejuvenates me so I can train harder on the tennis court.

3. Outfits and Energy Drinks

Fernandez has a few things she considers essential to her performance on the court. “I wear Lululemon on and off the court when training and competing,” she told Yahoo Life Singapore. “I love their Wunder Train leggings for HIIT workouts, and I love to play in any of their tank tops and skirts. Occasionally, I’ll wear a tennis dress for tournaments as well. My racket of choice is a Babolat Pure Aero. Gatorade products are also an essential tool for hydration and energy during matches. I love their Endurance Powder with Electrolytes and Energy Gels with Caffeine.”

4. Role Model Pride

Fernandez is proud to inspire the new generation of tennis players. “I try to inspire young athletes and show them that their goals and dreams are achievable as long as they focus and work hard,” she told Yahoo Life Singapore. “I also believe in the importance of giving back and helping those in need, and I align myself with brands that also prioritize these values. Lastly, my parents raised me to be kind to everyone I meet – opponents on the tennis court, fans, and coaches – and I do my best to practice this every day.”

5. Support on the Court

Fernandez will never take for granted how it feels to be supported by the crowd. “The goose bumps I felt every time I stepped onto the court, when the crowd shouted my name,” she told Tennis Canada. “It’s my favorite moment because I know people are there not just because they’ve come to see me but because they enjoy my game. And the training sessions with my father and my sister. I spent a few hours with my family, whom I hadn’t seen in a long time. Those are very special moments for me.”

Angelique Kerber is a successful tennis player. She is currently playing at the Boutique Tennis Experience. Kerber shared a set of photos on Instagram of herself on the court.

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


1. She Plays Tennis

Kerber enjoys a lot of health benefits from tennis. The Columbia Association states, “Whatever your age or level of athleticism, tennis is an excellent full-body workout that releases feel-good endorphins to help you relax and relieve tension. Its low-impact nature also means your joints and bones will thank you. Because tennis includes short bursts of activity, it offers the same conditioning benefits of interval training, which has an unparalleled positive effect on the heart and lungs, slashing your risk of heart disease by 56% (!). Just an hour of play burns between 400 to 600 calories.”

2. She Runs

Kerber shares a lot of her workouts on Instagram. One thing she likes to do is go on runs. This helps her with running on a tennis court. She shared this photo on Instagram of herself going for a run. Valley Oaks states that running is a great workout. “Running has a wide variety of health benefits like improving blood pressure, building heart muscles, and strengthening bones. Beyond the physical benefits, running is also proven to positively impact your mental health.”

3. She Bikes

Another workout Kerber likes to do is going bike riding. She shared these photos on Instagram of herself riding in the woods and on the streets. Kerber captioned the post, “Mixing up my training routine with a bike ride in nature. In the beginning of my career, endurance training was a huge ‘dislike’ for me. And now these sessions are the ones I (almost) look most forward to. 😅”

4. She Hikes

Kerber spends a lot of time outside. One thing she likes to do is to go for hikes. She shared this photo on Instagram of herself hiking in the mountains. Kerber captioned the post, “Best summer days are spent in nature.” Piedmont states that hiking has a lot of benefits. “Going up and down hills gets the heart pumping, creating a great cardio workout. Like most cardio exercises, hiking helps reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and even some cancers.”

5. She Combines Strength Training & Mobility

Kerber likes to combine workouts. She likes to strength train and do mobility workouts to stay in shape. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Good morning 🧘‍♀️🥰 Obviously my training routine has changed quite a bit, but I continue with my mobility & strength workouts. I feel so much better with an active start to the day.”

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.

We are committed to bringing you researched, expert-driven content to help you make more informed decisions around food, health, and wellness. We know how important making choices about your overall health is, and we strive to provide you with the best information possible.

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

Pilates

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.

Emsculpt NEO

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.
