Serena Williams is heating up the beach in her bathing suit. In a new social media post the GOAT shows off her incredibly fit figure – including her strong arms – as she enjoys a day at the beach with her daughter. “It may be winter, but we found some heat 🏝️Island Hopping,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does the retired professional athlete maintain her body? Celebwell has all of her top diet and fitness tips.


1. Fuel Your Body with Food

"My philosophy is eat to live. Don't live to eat,” Serena dished to Women's Health about her approach to eating. "You need it to survive. And [that's] very hard to live by, cause I definitely love to snack, but this is what I want. These are my goals." She is also moody when it comes to food. "I can have a smoothie for six months. And then I'll be like, I never want to see a smoothie again for the next six months. And then I'll be like, okay, I'm back on the smoothie. My eating is very moody,” she told Women’s Health.

2. Exercise on an Empty Stomach

Serena does fasted exercise. "I often don't make breakfast because I just forget or I'm running around getting Olympia ready. And then I go work out,” she told Women’s Health. "When I roll out of bed, I'm just not hungry."

3. Focus Your Diet Around Plant-Based Food

Serena’s diet is plant-focused. “I want to have a healthy lifestyle and, so you know, [I'm eating] a lot of greens and mostly plant-based lately, just super healthy stuff,” she told Women’s Health. "I had a bean burger the other day today…[Today] I had a gluten-free bean burrito.”

4. Use Complex Carbs to Fuel Training

Complex carbs are fuel for exercise, says Serena. "The only time I eat pasta is when I'm playing/training. Usually, you'll never see me eating pasta otherwise," she told Women’s Health. "I usually like to have lots of greens before my match and then fruit actually, and a little carbs and some sort of a protein.”

5. Don’t Forget a Cheat Meal

Serena endorses the occasional cheat meal. "I love Moon Pies. If 'Moon Pie' sponsored me, I'd be bigger than any house on this planet!" she joked to Women’s Health.

6. Take a Hike

Serena also enjoys outdoor exercise. “When someone tells you to “go take a hike …” she captioned a recent Instagram snap. “Hiking is one of the best ways to get exercise. No matter what type of trail you find yourself on, hiking is a great whole-body workout—from head to toe and everything in between,” says the National Parks Service. Some of the physical benefits include building stronger muscles and bones, improving your sense of balance, improving your heart health, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems. It also offers many mental health benefits, according to a Stanford University study.

7. Do Pilates

“LISTEN - I stay on ‘ready set’ in case I have to RUN 🏃🏿‍♀️ and grab baby @adiraohanian …. But until then - burn inner thighs, BURN,” Serena captioned a recent workout clip, set to the tune Eye of the Tiger. In a 2010 interview with Vogue, Serena discussed why she does Pilates. “When I’m not playing tennis, I like to do yoga and Pilates…I don’t like to run,” she revealed.

Kristina is known for her career as a highly ranked professional French tennis player. With her dedication to the game and knowledge of health and fitness, she has a lot of people looking her way for advice. Here’s what the tennis pro does to stay fit and healthy.


1. She uses supplements

2. She swims

She posted on Instagram while in Dubai, “grateful to be living in this great city, in peace, in safety & in the sunshine ☀️Happy day 🇦🇪#happynationaldayuae,” as she enjoyed the poolside views. Swimming can be beneficial in many ways and even help strengthen your lungs. According to the Cleveland Clinic, “if you want to breathe easier, swimming might help do the trick. It’s been found to improve lung strength and capacity.”

3. She lifts weights

She does weight lifting to strength train. “Séance physique 💪🏻🏋🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️Work never stops. Merci 📸 @paulineballet / FFT pour ces belles images. #BJKCupFinals #Seville,” she said on Instagram while lifting weights. According to the Mayo Clinic, you should “do strength training exercises for all major muscle groups at least two times a week. Aim to do a single set of each exercise, using a weight or resistance level heavy enough to tire your muscles after about 12 to 15 repetitions.”

4. She does her arm workouts

She pays attention to arm strength, as seen on Instagram while she’s doing tube band workouts, captioned “Resilience.” According to Harvard Health Publishing from Harvard Medical School, “strong arms aren't just for the weight room crowd. Arm strength is important for many of the everyday tasks or functional activities we perform such as carrying groceries, lifting children, hanging curtains, or opening doors.”

5. She golfs

As seen in this post on Instagram post captioned “thank you for being the best person in this world ❤️🥂 Happy birthday hermanito 🎂🥳😘 @lukamlade,” they’re in a golf cart on the course. According to Better Health, “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.”

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

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.

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.
