Serinda Swan is a talented actress known for her roles in Reacher, Graceland, and Breakout Kings. Recently, she took a well-deserved vacation to Italy, sharing glimpses of her trip on Instagram, including enjoying spaghetti, relaxing on the beach, and admiring art. Captioning her post “Portofino Dump,” she gave fans a peek into her vibrant life. Curious about how she keeps herself in such great shape? Read on to discover five ways Serinda Swan stays fit, complete with photos that showcase her dedication.


1. She Doesn’t Care What Others Think

Swan doesn’t care what people think of her. She talked about this in regards to her IMDB rating to New Beauty. “In some ways, it really doesn’t matter. The thing is…if you allow someone to rate you, then you have to actually believe in its value at your core. If you’re number one, it’s incredible, but if you’re a number 500,000, then that would destroy you.”

2. She Keeps Her Skin Hydrated

Swan shared some of her favorite skincare products with New Beauty. She says that she looks for products that keep her skin hydrated. “I also really fell in love with Ko Gen Do’s Moisture Foundation ($74). It’s so dry in Toronto, where we film. It keeps that no-makeup look, which work well for the show because my character can be in the middle of fighting for her life. I’m not going to stop and be like, ‘Oh, let’s put on some foundation.’ I found that really natural worked best.”

3. She Removes Her Makeup

Swan tells New Beauty that she makes sure to remove all her makeup from the set. “We use a lot of Victoria Beckham bronzers on Reacher. I find they work really well for camera…but getting anything off is usually an issue for me because of my allergies. One of the things that I found that works—it is my favorite thing now—is Burt’s Bees Micellar Makeup Remover Cloths ($7). You can buy it half the time at the Hudson at the airport. For some reason, it’s the one thing that my skin doesn’t react to. I can use it in the car on the way back from set. I can use it on the car on the way back from boxing. I keep a pack in my car, I keep a pack with me, wherever I need to do that when I’m traveling.”

4. She Uses Serums

Swan tells New Beauty that she likes to use a serum on her face. “When I’m home, I do like a setup. I really love Angela Caglia’s new serum ($395) that she has. I went to Violet Grey, and they did a great test with me where she gave me five different products to use to see what I would react to. The serum is the first thing in five years that I’ve been able to use that my skin doesn’t react to and I like visibly see a change.”

5. She Does Yoga

Swan likes to do yoga to stay in shape. And she’ll do it anywhere. Swan shared this video on Instagram of herself doing poses on a paddleboard in the lake. She captioned the post, “Upside down styles...Been trying to master this dismount for days lol.” Harvard Health states that yoga has a lot of benefits. “Yoga develops inner awareness. It focuses your attention on your body's abilities at the present moment. It helps develop breath and strength of mind and body. It's not about physical appearance. Yoga studios typically don't have mirrors. This is so people can focus their awareness inward rather than how a pose — or the people around them — looks. Surveys have found that those who practiced yoga were more aware of their bodies than people who didn't practice yoga. They were also more satisfied with and less critical of their bodies. For these reasons, yoga has become an integral part in the treatment of eating disorders and programs that promote positive body image and self-esteem.”

Autumn Swansen is a highly successful bodybuilder with an impressive track record of competition appearances. She often shares glimpses of her fitness journey and life on social media, motivating her followers with both her physique and dedication. At the start of September, Swansen posted a highlight reel on Instagram, showcasing herself and her husband performing incredible acrobatic tricks at a fitness showcase. Their strength and coordination were on full display as they wowed the audience with their moves. Swansen’s disciplined workout regimen, combined with a balanced approach to fitness and nutrition, has earned her a loyal following and continuous success in the world of bodybuilding.


1. She Strength Trains

Swansen has a lot of muscles. Naturally, she does a lot of strength training to stay fit. In the previous Instagram video, she is seen using weighted machines. The Mayo Clinic reports that strength training has 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. Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury.”

2. She Swims

Swansen shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. One thing she likes to do is to go for a swim. Swansen shared this photo of herself and her husband in the water in Miami. Swimming has a lot of benefits. Better Health states, “Swimming is a great workout because you need to move your whole body against the resistance of the water. Swimming is a good all-round activity because it: keeps your heart rate up but takes some of the impact stress off your body, builds endurance, muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness.”

3. She Works Her Back

Swansen makes sure to work her entire body. Including her back muscles. Swansen shared this video on Instagram of herself doing back exercises, like pulldowns. She captioned the post, “SNEAK PEAK OF FULL 📺 YT📺 VID OF RECENT BACK TRAINING💪 😘SHOP THE FIT & SOOOOO MUCH MORE @prozisusa currently offering 25% off Creatine ‼️😍 Snag a 1.5lb Creatine Monohydrate for $15 less‼️🤯”

4. She Works Her Core

Swansen has an impressive core. She shared some of her favorite core workouts in this Instagram video. The Mayo Clinic states that core workouts are extremely beneficial. “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.”

5. She Cooks

Swansen makes sure to eat healthy. One way she does so is by cooking. Swansen shared this video on Instagram of herself making a healthy pudding. She captioned it, “E Z 2 min @muscleegg puddin' 🥚‼️Comment ‘pudding’ to get the FULL recipe 😘 My kinda recipe😋‼️ Props to @theyumaster @brentswansen 🙌🙌🙌” 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.”

Alessandra Ambrosio started 2024 off by hitting the ground running—or more specifically, hitting the treadmill running. The former Victoria’s Secret model shared a video of herself wearing a gray two-piece workout outfit, going through an entire routine including running, kettlebells, resistance bands, and stair climbing. “Welcome to my @technogym. Perfect way to start the new year!!!” she captioned the Instagram post. Here’s what Ambrosio’s health and wellness routine look like at 42.


1. Sea, Sand, and Swimwear

Ambrosio’s perfect day is one spent in nature with her family. “I love being woken up by the sound of the ocean, so anywhere near the sea, especially if my kids are around,” she tells Hello!. “We recently went to Fernando de Noronha. It was magical – there are beautiful ocean views all around you. I’d eat a traditional Brazilian breakfast, fruit, avocado, eggs, fresh juices and coffee. I would change into something comfortable, probably Alo Yoga activewear. After yoga I’d jump in the ocean wearing Gal Floripa swimwear followed by a long walk on the beach in my Pangaia sweats.”

2. Beach Volleyball and Beef

Ambrosio’s favorite foods are grilled picanha and sushi, which she enjoys outdoors. “Lately, I have been researching brands like Bottletop that create sustainable products that look amazing,” she tells Hello!. “When I’m not working, I like to let my skin breathe, so I would use Dr Barbara Sturm Sun Drops for SPF protection, and Beautycounter BB Cream after my morning exercise. Instead of heading somewhere else, I would stay in the same place, so I don’t have to travel – and hopefully all of my friends and family will be there so we can play beach volleyball… Staying by the beach in Fernando de Noronha would be a dream afternoon; there is so much nature to explore and it has the most magical sunsets. In Brazil, nature is a huge part of our lives. We are surrounded by the oceans and the Amazon.”

3. Gratitude and Journaling

Ambrosio’s wellness routine is focused around gratitude. “It’s not easy, but I have my tricks,” she tells Forbes. “I like waking up in the morning, doing my coffee, and then I have my diary next to my bed. It’s a 5-minute diary - like a gratitude book. I just write a little bit about what I expect out of my day, what I’m grateful for, so just to start the day in a positive vibe. I have some things that I know how to calm me down, how to center, and how to be present in the moment that I do.”

4. Weights, Weights, Weights

Ambrosio’s workout includes resistance training and Pilates for a fantastic all-body exercise. She’s also a devotee of the Tracy Anderson method. "I have been working with Tracy [Anderson] for last couple years, and what I love about her classes that it does not feel like exercise," Ambrosio told Bravo. "It's almost like taking a fun dance class that targets all of your muscle groups, and you get amazing results...she also has online classes, so when I travel, I am able to work out in my hotel room."

5. Victoria’s Secret Veteran

Ambrosio is proud of her time as a Victoria’s Secret Angel. “Victoria’s Secret was like a family for me and I learned so much with them and it was a brand that I admired,” she tells Forbes. “It was a school for me of modeling because I was working every day. We got to go to so many different places, so it just really made me really comfortable in front of the camera. I don’t know if I would change anything. I guess everything is about learning and when you’re young - I started with Victoria’s Secret when I was 19, so I was still kind of young, even if I thought I knew everything in the world (laughs). I was learning and if I did mistakes, even the mistakes, I think it counts to learn and not to do it again.”

Candice Swanepoel, the model and Victoria’s Secret Angel, hit Miami this week, and posted the swimsuit pics to prove it.

1. She Works With A Trainer To Learn About Her Body

Swanepoel, like many people, works with a personal trainer to keep herself in shape. She and several other Victoria’s Secret Angels work with trainer Justin Gelbrand. Swanepoel tells PopWorkouts that Gelbrand doesn’t just help her work out, he also teaches her about health and her body. “With Justin, it’s not only about getting you into shape by training, it’s everything in between. He has taught me so much about nutrition, health, and generally understanding how my body functions inside and out. For me, it’s become a total addiction.”

2. She Boxes

Swanepoel is open about her love of certain workouts, and one of those is boxing. She tells PopWorkouts, “I box, I do a lot of resistance, three or four times a week. I like that, as well as keeping fit, I can protect myself.”

3. She Practices Yoga

Another workout that Swanepoel is open about her love for is yoga. She tells PopWorkouts, “When I’m too tired to box, I do yoga. It’s good to stay flexible and learn to keep your mind quiet.” Swanepoel also tells The Cut, “I do it every time I feel overwhelmed and stressed—I try at least twice a week.”

4. She Keeps Her Workouts Fun

Swanepoel broke down some of her fitness secrets in an interview with Shape Magazine. She says that her most important secret is doing exercises that she finds fun to do. That way, she looks forward to working out, and doesn’t get bored. “My favorite exercise is something that doesn’t feel like I’m exercising at all, such as swimming in the ocean or playing paddle ball,” she says.

5. She Does Opposite Workouts

Another workout secret Swanepoel told Shape Magazine is that likes to mix up her workouts. Specifically, Swanepoel likes to do workouts that have opposite effects on her body. “For me, mixing workouts like boxing, jump rope, and basic ballet works best,” she says as an example. “Boxing works my arms and core, ballet elongates my muscles, and jumping rope is a great way to warm up before any workout.”

Betty Pariso, a renowned fitness expert and bodybuilder, has cultivated a dedicated Instagram following by sharing her approach to health, fitness, and life balance. Recently, she posted a fun video of herself fueling up her unique motorcycle and heading off for a scenic ride, showcasing her adventurous spirit. Beyond the gym, Betty emphasizes the importance of quality time, balance, and unwinding on vacations, where she prefers enjoying sunrises over rigorous workouts. Her feed often features dynamic workouts, from weightlifting to swimming, and even special mother-daughter training sessions with her business partner and daughter. Pariso’s balanced philosophy demonstrates that even high-level fitness athletes can prioritize both physical discipline and the joy of life’s everyday moments.


1. She Takes Breaks

Pariso works out on a consistent basis. However, she doesn’t like to work super hard when she’s on vacation. Pariso revealed in this Instagram post that she only does a couple of push-ups on vacation. She captioned the post, “If I waste 1 hour in the gym on vacation, I am missing the moment. I do not live for the gym, the gym allows me to live for the moments. But I could get up and train early...nope, I would rather get up, walk the beach and watch the beautiful sunrise. I never train on a vacation that is 5 days or shorter. I need the break from little injuries that can turn into something bigger and sideline my training. But more importantly, I am here to get away from training, enjoy my surroundings, and enjoy the food. I want my vacations to be completely different from my disciplined, structured life.”

2. She Works Out With Her Daughter

Pariso owns her company with her daughter, and the two like to train together. She shared this video on Instagramof the two of them doing so. Pariso captioned it, “Thank you @lacyecarmichael. We occasionally get to train together, but how many Moms get to own a company with their daughter and design it together from the ground up. She killed it for 5 weeks. This is her work, and I am so proud 👉 @wbbfederation ❤️❤️❤️”

3. She Lifts Weights

Pariso likes to lift weights to stay in shape. She shares a lot of workout videos on Instagram of herself doing so. In this video, Pariso is seen doing shoulder lifts with hand dumbbells and pulling a rope. She captioned the video, “Today was one of those days I did 50 minutes of almost non-stop training using supersets on everything.”

4. She Does Pulldowns

Pariso likes to do lateral pulldowns to stay in shape. She is seen doing them in this Instagram video. Piedmont states that this exercise has a lot of benefits. “The lat pulldown is a fantastic exercise for strengthening the latissimus dorsi muscle, the broadest muscle in your back. This muscle promotes good posture and spinal stability. Form is crucial when performing a lat pulldown to prevent injury and reap the best results.”

5. She Swims

Pariso likes to swim to stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself floating in a pool. Better Health states that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Swimming is a great workout because you need to move your whole body against the resistance of the water. Swimming is a good all-round activity because it: keeps your heart rate up but takes some of the impact stress off your body, builds endurance, muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness, helps you maintain a healthy weight, healthy heart and lungs, tones muscles and builds strength, provides an all-over body workout, as nearly all of your muscles are used during swimming.”

Jena Sims Koepka is working on her core – in her exercise clothes.

How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care and what is her core workout? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


1. F45 Workouts

Kirkland,Washington,,August,12,,2019.,Kettlebells,Are,Lined,Up,InShutterstock

Jena is a fan of a popular workout method. “My favorite type of workout is F45,” she told FOX. “It’s just a 45-minute class. And I think I like it so much because they play amazing music and it’s so loud.”

2. Weight Lifting

“I’m not a calm, soothing Pilates, yoga princess. I’m like, ‘Scream at me.’ I want to be dripping sweat,” continued Sims. “I want loud music, heavy weights. For my body type, I like to lift weights because I don’t need to do a lot of cardio. I find that lifting weights has been the most beneficial,” she told Fox. “I've been working on just upping my weights a little bit,” she added to Daily Mail. “I can get into this sweet spot and get kind of in a plateau of working out, so I upped my weights after seeing her video because I was so impressed by what she did with her fitness. I'm trying to lift heavier. Trying to build a booty.”

3. Clean Eating

To get in shape for her Sports Illustrated photoshoot, Jena didn’t diet, “ all I'm doing is just eating as clean as I can, but I'm still splurging,” she told Daily Mail. “Like, I had four dinner rolls last night at this charity event as well as my meal.”

4. Pure Barre

Jena also likes to “mix it up” when it comes to exercise. She loves Pure Barre classes, a fusion of yoga, Pilates, and ballet and a “full body, low impact workout” for everybody, according to the brand.

In her latest Instagram post, Sharvari showcased her grit with a hardcore beach workout, flipping a massive tire in the sand.

Adding a playful pun to her caption, she wrote, “Never tyre’d of a good beach workout.”
So, how does she stay in such incredible shape? From strength training to boxing, here’s a look at her go-to fitness moves.

She Strength Trains

In her Instagram post, Sharvari is seen doing a strength training exercise. The Mayo Clinic says that strength training has 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. Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age.”

She Does Yoga

Sharvari shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. One thing she likes to do is yoga. Sharvari posted this video of herself doing poses on her page. John Hopkins Medicine states that yoga is very beneficial. “Regular yoga practice may reduce levels of stress and body-wide inflammation, contributing to healthier hearts. Several of the factors contributing to heart disease, including high blood pressure and excess weight, can also be addressed through yoga.”

She Plays Padel

Sharvari likes to play padel to keep herself in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself on the court. Playing padel has a lot of health benefits. Everybody Health & Leisure says, “It improves cardiovascular fitness, helps to build strength and endurance, enhances coordination and promotes overall physical and mental well-being. Not to mention, it’s a fantastic way to burn calories.”

She Boxes

Another thing that Sharvari does to keep herself in shape is box. She first picked this up when training for the film, Vedaa. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself punching a bag. Sharvari captioned the post, “BEAST MODE on for Vedaa! ⚠️☠️🥊 Took up boxing to become Vedaa... Now I am ready to pack a punch or be strong enough to take a brutal beating 💪#Vedaa coming to a theatre near you on August 15th.”

She Runs

Sharvari likes to run to keep herself in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself running on the beach. She captioned the post, “Decided to seas the day!” Better Health says that running is very beneficial. “Regular running or jogging offers many health benefits. Running can: help to build strong bones, as it is a weight bearing exercise, strengthen muscles, improve cardiovascular fitness, burn plenty of kilojoules, help maintain a healthy weight.”

Natasa Stankovic in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Wednesday Challenge"

Stankovic shares her go-to workout moves, from squats to lunges, cardio, Pilates, and strength training.

Natasa Stankovic isn’t just a content creator—she’s a fitness inspiration. Known for sharing intense workout sessions on Instagram, she keeps her followers motivated with creative exercise challenges and dynamic routines.

In her latest post, Stankovic teamed up with Aleksandar Illic for a lower body blast, pushing through variations of squats and lunges. Dressed in a sleek two-piece workout set, she captioned the session, “Wednesday challenge,” proving that fitness is all about consistency and fun.

So, how does she maintain her lean, strong physique? From strength training to Pilates, here’s a look at Stankovic’s go-to workout moves.

She Does Squats

Stankovic does squats to keep herself in shape, as you can see in her Instagram video. Piedmont says that this exercise has a lot of health benefits. “Whether you’re hoping to tone your muscles, strengthen your core or just improve overall health, squats are one of the best exercises you can do. Although the movements appear relatively simple, squats can take time to master. Joel Hardwick, ACSM EP-C, EIM2, an exercise physiologist at Piedmont Atlanta Fitness Center, says practice will pay off…Hardwick explains that squats are a compound, multi-joint movement, which means they exercise several muscle groups. When you perform a squat, you work your calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, core and part of your back.”

She Does Lunges

Stankovic is also seen doing lunges in her Instagram video. The Mayo Clinic reports that lunges are very beneficial to do. “The lunge is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles. Specifically, the lunge targets the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles in the thigh, the gluteal muscles in the buttock, and to a lesser extent, the lower leg muscles. The lunge is a great conditioning exercise for many sports, especially those that involve lunging movements, such as tennis, basketball or soccer.”

She Does Cardio

Stankovic likes to do cardio workouts to keep herself in shape. She shared this video of herself doing fast box jumps in different directions on Instagram. Stankovic captioned it, “Morning cardio challenge.” Cardio exercises have a lot of benefits. The Cleveland Clinic says, “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 Does Pilates

Stankovic shares a lot of her favorite workouts in an Instagram story highlight. In some of the stories, she is seen doing Pilates exercises on a reformer. Pilates is very beneficial. The Cleveland Clinic says, “One of the reasons Pilates is such a good workout is that it specifically focuses on building core strength.”

She Strength Trains

Stankovic likes to strength train to keep herself in shape. She shared this Instagram story of herself using dumbbells. ACE Fitness says that strength training and using weights has a lot of health benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

Kim French in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Real Results" Workout

Learn how she sculpts her powerhouse physique with deadlifts, lunges, squats, and more.

Kim French is more than just a personal trainer—she’s a fitness coach who empowers thousands through her Believe App and Instagram workouts. Known for her structured, effective home training plans, she proves that you don’t need a gym full of heavy weights to build serious strength.

In a recent Instagram post, French shared a glimpse of her at-home training, reminding followers that smart training delivers "REAL results." Rocking a sleek two-piece workout set, she showcased some of her go-to exercises, emphasizing that with the right strategy, anyone can see progress.

So what’s in her routine? From deadlifts to hip thrusts, here’s how French sculpts her powerhouse physique.

She Does Deadlifts

French is seen doing deadlifts in her Instagram post. This exercise has a lot of benefits. NASM says, “A Romanian deadlift is a hip-hinge pattern that works the hamstrings and glutes. It is a form of deadlift with noticeably less bend in the knee, leading to greater hamstring engagement than traditional deadlifts. The move was introduced to the masses in the 90s by Romanian weightlifter Nicu Vlad (an Olympic and World Weightlifting champion) and his coach Dragomir Cioroslan. The two invented the move to help Nicu strengthen his back for the clean and jerk. Today, RDLs are commonly used to strengthen the posterior chain, using the core muscles to stabilize and the hamstrings and glutes to drive the movement.”

She Does Lunges

Another exercise that French is seen doing in her Instagram post is lunges. NASM says that they are very beneficial. “The lunge is a versatile, simple and effective movement for lower body training. Various positions, planes of motion and speeds can all yield different training adaptations for the exerciser. Lunges are the gift that keeps on giving!”

She Does Squats

French is seen doing squats in her Instagram video. According to The Cleveland Clinic, squats are very beneficial. “Here’s a quick look at the many benefits of squats, also known as bodyweight squats or air squats: Works major muscle groups. Burns calories. Strengthens your core. Improves lower body strength. Enhances stability and balance. Betters your posture.”

She Does Hamstring Curls

French is seen doing hamstring curls in her Instagram post. According to The Mayo Clinic, hamstring curls are very beneficial. “The seated hamstring curl is an exercise you can do with a weight machine to work the muscles in the back of the thigh. As the name implies, the seated hamstring curl targets the hamstring muscles here in the back of the thigh. Strong hamstring muscles help to protect your ligaments in the knee.”

She Does Hip Thrusts

French shared this video on Instagram of herself doing hip thrusts. She captioned it, “Hip Thrusts are no doubt one of the best exercises for building your Glutes but of course with any exercise, the form has to be correct for you to see the maximum benefits…✖️ Feet too far forwards will engage your hamstrings more ✖️ Feet too close to you will engage your quads more ✔️ Feet placed so your calves are vertical will engage your glutes more.”
