Love Island star Shaughna Phillips is slowly but surely getting back into her fitness routine after welcoming baby Lucia in April 2023—and being honest about postpartum recovery. Phillips, 29, shared a video of herself wearing leggings and a white shirt, mixing up a protein shake in her kitchen after a workout of skipping and star jumps. “Changing my bio to ‘fitfluencer’, having 7 protein shakes a day and getting GYM BRO tatted on my bicep,” she jokingly captioned the post. Here’s how the reality star stays fit and full of energy.

1. Love Island Training

Shaughna.Phillips:InstagramShaughna Phillips/Instagram


Phillips went on a very strict health and fitness regimen before going on Love Island, working out for 90 minutes a day. “I would do 20 to 25 minutes on the treadmill very fast at a high incline,” she told Women’s Health. “I would do a few sets on the lat pulldown machine... and then I used to do a quick circuit on the mats. I used to use like free weights and stuff and that would literally be it every single day.”

2. Holistic Health

Phillips works out to protect her mental health as well as her physical health and appearance. “As I've gotten older, I've realized that separating being healthy from your body image, and how you ‘think you should look’, is the true gamechanger,” she told Bustle. “I feel like a lot of us just subconsciously go to the gym because we think we need to look a certain way. But there are so many other benefits; looks should be the lowest thing on your list of reasons to go to the gym… Don't get me wrong, the health benefits and all of that are absolutely amazing. But for me personally, it is all about the effect physical activity has on mental health.”

3. Morning Workouts

Phillips works out first thing in the morning before the work day starts. “I can tell you what I hate doing and that’s squats,” she told Bustle. “But I really like the feeling of lifting weights and boxing. It almost doesn't feel like you're working out because you're learning something new. I read somewhere that music also gives you the same sort of endorphins as exercise does. I can't think of anything worse than working out and having rubbish music. Or worse: no music at all. I need to listen to angry music, like DMX. Or if I'm going on holiday, then I’ll listen to happy vibe music.”

4. Plans For the Future

Phillips wants to move in a different direction in the future. “I definitely want to maybe get into some kind of politics after the show,” she told Glamour. “I just like helping people and I want to do as much as I can to help people. For me, it’s not really about how much a job pays you, because it’s about helping people. I know that’s cliché and embarrassing, but the job I was in before in the fire safety team, the job previous to that was more money, so... I got a better feeling out of the fire safety team. For me, it’s all about helping people."

5. Embracing Her Physique

Phillips wishes she hadn’t been so hard on herself in the past. “I was aware that I was definitely the biggest girl in there [the villa] but watching old episodes back now, I'm like ‘you looked fab!’” she told Women’s Health. “But that is just proof that you're never happy with what you've got, so you might as well just be happy with what you've got. I was self-conscious but I had no reason to be.”

Megan Williams, a popular social media influencer, is no stranger to pushing boundaries and embracing challenges. Known for her chic workout outfits and adventurous spirit, Megan often shares glimpses of her active lifestyle on Instagram. Recently, she showcased her latest Alo workout ensemble—a sleek black bra, matching shorts, and a gray long-sleeve shirt. Beyond the style, Megan's dedication to fitness is evident in her diverse activities, from running marathons to hiking the Grand Canyon. “I feel my best when I try new things and push myself out of my comfort zone,” she shares. Whether it's swimming in the Mediterranean or playing tennis, Megan's approach to fitness reflects a commitment to both physical and mental growth, inspiring her followers to live boldly and stay active.

She Runs

Williams shares a lot of her favorite workouts on her Instagram. One thing she likes to do is run. Williams even ran the New York City Marathon. She shared this post on Instagram of her experience, captioning it, “NYC MARATHON!! Wow what an unforgettable day. 8 weeks ago when I got this opportunity, I had only ever really ran 5Ks. These last few weeks have been filled with pushing myself both mentally and physically, I really didn’t know if I could do it. But I have learnt every time I take on a new challenge I get far more back in return. I pretty much smiled my way around the 26.2 miles yesterday. NYC crowds are just sooooo incredible. I wanna say a huge thankyou to the number of strangers who cheered me on as well as my incredible friends who gave me so much energy! Feeling very proud and very grateful to @newbalance x @bambambaklava and especially @austinbensmith who assured me I could do it when I almost pulled out. 🩵”

She Swims

Williams likes to swim to keep herself in shape. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself enjoying time by the water. Williams shared this post highlighting a trip she took to Europe. In it, she is seen going for a dip in the sea. Williams captioned the post, “European summer 🩵 the oh so blue Mediterranean.”

She Pushes Herself

Williams is always striving to push herself to try new things. One thing she tried was going scuba diving. Williams shared this photo on Instagram of her experience. She captioned the post, “It’s A-OK 👌 I’ve realized I feel my best when I try new things and push myself out of my comfort zone. Things that scared me before. Sometimes it’s good to remember being scared should not get in your way of trying something new 🤍💙”

She Plays Tennis

Another thing that Williams likes to do to keep herself in shape is playing tennis. She shared this set of photos of herself on the court on Instagram. The Columbia Association states that tennis has a lot of benefits. “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.”

She Hikes

Williams likes to go hiking to keep herself in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself and her friends hiking in the Grand Canyon. “Hello!! Channeling my inner Lara Croft.. Just spent the last two weeks off the grid exploring the Grand Canyon - traveling down the Colorado river, white water rafting and camping with a group of 15 of us. It was already a scary trip for me as I have never done anything like this but an extra challenge from having fractured my wrist 3 weeks before! But the challenges made it 100 x more rewarding! Will share some pictures to try and show you just how incredible the Grand Canyon is 🙌🏽 Very proud of myself for doing it and grateful to be one of the few people who get to see this part of the world in this way!”

Busy regularly works out with a certain celebrity trainer. “In the early 2000s, I was asked to lose weight for a part, which is not an uncommon thing that happens in Hollywood,” she told People. “Although, maybe it’s getting better now, I don’t know. I hope so, for young actors starting out. But I was told to lose weight for a part, and they sent me to [celebrity trainer] Gunnar Peterson, and he showed me a way into fitness by introducing me to spin classes, showing me the workouts, all that stuff.”

2. Her Children Inspire Her to Exercise

Busy maintains that one of her biggest motivations to stay fit is her children. “My girls have a different experience because their dad [husband Marc Silverstein] goes to spin class always every day, they know that. I do my workout every morning, they know that,” she told People “I feel like modeling behavior for younger generations is so important, and that’s part of the reason why I post my workouts on the [Instagram] stories.”

3. She Has Tried Pole Dancing

Busy recently learned how to pole dance for a movie role. In an Instagram post, Philipps showed off her moves. "Got to go back to my pole work today after healing my bruised ribs and I learned a new thing," she wrote in the caption. "It took a few tries but I got there!"

4. She Exercises for Mental Health

Busy revealed to Health in 2018 that exercise is a great way to keep her mental health in check. “For me, getting the endorphins and the sweat every morning is part of what I think helps me keep [my anxiety] in check,” she said.

5. She Doesn’t Weigh Herself

Busy doesn’t depend on numbers. “I stopped weighing myself almost two years ago, because I noticed that it was giving me anxiety and really affecting my mood,” she told Health. “If you are somebody who wants to make a life change and that scale gets you the motivation of, like, ‘Yes, I got down two lbs. this week!’ I for sure get that. But for me, just being stable in my body has helped me a lot.”

6. She Works Out Daily

“I work out seven days most weeks, but I’m also not hard on myself. If I wake up and I’m exhausted and I can’t … do it, then I’ll give myself a break. I also think there’s a point where I know to push through, ’cause I’ll feel better after I do it,” Philipps told Health. “The best thing you can do if you’re hungover is work out, and then you feel 100 percent better — even if you’re still drunk when you get on the SoulCycle bike.”

Sasha Gollish is a fitness coach, running enthusiast, and influencer who shares her journey and tips on Instagram. Known for her inspiring content, Gollish encourages her followers to embrace fitness, resilience, and self-love. Recently, she shared a heartfelt post about her mission, writing, “Join me on my journey as I aim to be a better mentor, advocate, and inspiration paving the way in sport, research, and advocacy.” A runner at heart, Gollish combines her expertise in fitness with a passion for creating inclusive spaces, especially for women. From promoting self-love to bouncing back from setbacks, Gollish proves that fitness is about more than just physical health—it’s about building strength in mind and body.


1. She Runs

Gollish shares a lot of running content on her Instagram. She shared this post of a race she did. Valley Oaks Health states that running has a lot of health benefits, including helping with your sleep. “The positive impacts of a run extend beyond the finish line and into bedtime. Studies show that aerobic exercise such as running can significantly improve the quality of sleep, even for those suffering from insomnia. Running has also been linked to a reduction in daytime drowsiness, meaning you’ll have more energy for your day and less fatigue to fight through.”

2. She Maximizes Her Workouts

When Gollish works out, she makes sure to get the most out of it. She shared her tips for maximizing workouts in the caption of this Instagram post. “5 Tips to Maximize your Training Gains. 1️⃣ Include a proper warm up 2️⃣ Strengthen your accessory muscles 3️⃣ Incorporate both strength training and cardiovascular stimuli 4️⃣ Do things you love that move your body 5️⃣ Maximize your sleep to recover better (psst This is where a natural sleep supplement like @thirdzyhq can do wonders).”

3. She Wants To Inspire Others

One thing that Gollish is passionate about is inspiring others, particularly women. She revealed in the caption of this Instagram post that this is why she’s a fitness coach. “As a researcher, coach, and advocate, I’m passionate about creating supportive spaces where women can feel strong, confident, and connected. This study is about much more than fitness—it’s about finding strength, resilience, and community through sport. ✨🤝🏃‍♀️💥 We want to help you to build inclusive environments where every woman feels empowered to move her mind and body. 🏃‍♀️💥”

4. She’s All About Self-Love

Gollish wants to promote the concept of self-love. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Yup, I’m human. And every time I open these photos from the @wabudapest23 championships, instead of seeing an amazing accomplishment, I see my thunder thighs. I don’t see the strength and the beauty in my thighs immediately. I compare them to what I think my thighs are supposed to look like. My thighs are meant to look exactly as they do. Because they allow me to continue to pursue the things I love at a high performance level. Give yourself a little self compassion and a lot of self love.”

5. She Doesn’t Let Setbacks Define Her

Gollish does a lot of races, and they don’t always go well. However, she doesn’t let these setbacks define her and hold her back. Gollish talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “I had a blast out there! The views were incredible. Why was I focused on the views? Because my calves seized 1k into the race. So I kept having to turn around and face downhill to stretch them out. Instead of getting angry and frustrated with myself and circumstance I just embraced it. Bad races happen. They don’t define you. What defines you is how you react, not even in the moment but overall (yes, it is ok to be mad sometimes!). Thank you to every human who made me laugh and smile out there, especially @michellesammet for capturing this video towards the finish.”

Twilight star Ashley Greene is giving fans a glimpse at the highlights of her year so far. Greene, 36, shared several pictures of herself and family, including one of the star wearing black leggings and a purple workout top, looking fresh-faced and very toned. “Life lately,” she captioned the post, adding the word “commitment” for her workout selfie. Greene is now the co-owner of a gym, and her fitness routine has adapted to motherhood—here’s how the actress stays fit and full of energy.

1. Sweating For Good Headspace

Greene previously talked about her love for Rise Nation workouts in Los Angeles. “Mentally, for me, it’s so important. It really keeps me kind of sharp and focused,” she told Women’s Health. “I kind of alternate between doing the Versa classes and strength training and I’m waiting for the day that I can do them both in one day! It’s always that thing where, even when I don’t go to the gym, if I’m just sweating and being active – even if it’s not an intense session – I always feel so much better and things are much more organized in my head.”

2. Fueling Her Workouts

Greene eats to fuel her workouts. “I used to have to have breakfast, but it was, like, yogurt,” she told Women’s Health. “Now I have to have two pieces of wholegrain toast and almond butter, honey and bananas on top. That would bother some people because it’s got a decent amount of fat, but you have to recognise that it’s fuel; it doesn’t matter if I’m putting calories and fat into my body – I need it to do the type of strength training that I like to do.”

3. Postpartum Fitness

Greene was careful about jumping back into her workout routine after welcoming daughter Kingsley Rainn in September 2022. "I wanted to feel fully back into my body… I really wanted to focus on making sure that I gave myself enough rest for everything to go back into place, and made sure that I wasn't trying to jump back into where I was and hurting myself," she told PEOPLE. "I feel like there's this idea that you are cleared after eight weeks and you can just jump back in, and that is so far from the case. I think it's really damaging to a lot of people.”

4. Learning Self-Confidence

Greene has learned to become comfortable and confident in her own skin. “I don't know that I've ever met someone who hasn't had some type of insecure moment or stage,” she told HuffPost. “You're growing and you're learning, and some days are good and some are bad. I'm definitely the most comfortable in my skin than I've ever been. I understand that a lot of things aren't the end of the world.”

5. Gym Owner

Greene and husband Paul Khory opened their own gym NexGen Fitness in Sherman Oaks, CA, and she is thrilled her daughter will grow up being familiar with the place. “She was just running around this place that holds so much importance to all of us,” she told PEOPLE. “She’ll grow up understanding and have such a toolbox for mental health and physical fitness and reproductive rights, and that’s such a cool thing to be able to give all that to your daughter. It’s much more fulfilling to put your name and your face behind something that you truly care about."

Ana Zelu is a professional model and social media influencer. She is known for her content in nature. Zelu recently shared a post on Instagram of herself on a surfboard in the ocean. She captioned it, “Yesterday was such a fun shoot, I just had to share these with you 🤍 🛥️But picture number #4?? That photobomb totally got me 😂 Which picture is your favorite ?🌊”

She Swims

As you can see from her post, Zelu likes to swim. The Mayo Clinic states that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Swimming is often touted as a great workout for all ages, offering benefits not only for the body, but also for the mind. As a form of exercise, swimming keeps your heart rate up and builds muscle strength. It also can be a great form of stress relief.”

She Doesn't Compare Herself to Others

Zelu shares a lot of her thoughts on Instagram. In this post, she talked about no longer comparing herself to others. “Dear Diary 💭📝, Today’s contemplation led me to a profound understanding of the detrimental impact comparison has on our lives. It’s like a silent intruder, subtly creeping into our thoughts and poisoning our perception of ourselves and others. It’s a universal struggle, one that weighs heavily on the hearts of many. I’ve come to realize that comparison is the ultimate thief of joy. It robs us of our ability to appreciate our own journey and achievements, as we constantly measure ourselves against an idealized version of others. I’ve resolved to break free from its grasp. We should choose to celebrate our own unique path, recognizing that each step forward is a triumph in itself. Rather than fixating on external benchmarks set by others, I’m focusing on personal growth and development. Whether it’s through learning new skills, cultivating gratitude, or simply practicing self-compassion, every effort counts.”

She Hikes

Zelu is seen on a hike in the previous Instagram post. Harvard Health states that hiking is very beneficial. “Like brisk walking, hiking is a good way to improve your cardiovascular fitness, particularly if your route includes some hills, which will force your heart to work harder. Taking a hike on the slightly uneven surface of a trail also provides a natural way to engage the core muscles in your torso and to hone your balance skills.”

She’s Resilient

Resilience is another important thing to Zelu. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Dear Diary 💭📝, I witnessed something truly remarkable that touched my heart deeply. It’s amazing how people can go through the toughest storms in life and yet remain gentle, patient, and kind. I saw someone who faced challenges that would break most people, yet they chose to respond with grace and humility. Their ability to stay calm and compassionate in the face of adversity is nothing short of admirable. It made me realize the beauty of resilience – the strength to keep going even when life throws its hardest punches. These individuals not only endure the storms but also emerge from them with a spirit that shines brighter than before. Their example reminds me of the power of kindness and the importance of staying true to oneself, even in the darkest of times. It’s a reminder that even in the midst of chaos, there is beauty to be found 💕🫶”

She’s Accepted Herself

Zelu talked about the importance of acceptance in this Instagram post’s caption. “Dear Diary 💭📝, Today has been a rollercoaster of emotions, but amidst it all, I feel like I’ve taken a step closer to the right direction. Letting go of the past is like shedding a heavy coat I’ve been carrying for far too long. It’s not easy to release the memories, the pain, the regrets, but today, I made a choice to loosen the grip they had on me. It’s like taking a deep breath after being underwater for too long—refreshing and liberating. Forgiving myself has been a journey filled with tears and moments of self-doubt. But today, I finally understood that I deserve the same forgiveness and understanding I give to others. It’s like giving myself a warm hug, wrapping myself in kindness and acceptance.”

She Boxes

Allina Health reports that squats are very beneficial to do. “The squat is one of the all-around best exercises to do for your lower body. It strengthens and tones muscles in your thighs, butt and calves and improves posture, balance, flexibility and inner core strength. Squatting also improves bone mineral density to keep your bones strong. Include squats in your exercise routine two to three days a week to reap the benefits from this dynamite move.”

Viciconte is also seen doing hip thrusts in her Instagram video. Gymless states that the exercise has a lot of health benefits. “Hip thrusts, as a compound movement, aid in increasing lower body strength and power, enhancing athletic abilities such as running, jumping, and powerlifting. By strengthening the posterior chain muscles, you can enhance your posture and lower the risk of back pain and muscle strain. Strong glutes and hamstrings contribute to hip and knee stability, minimizing injury risks in sports and daily life.”

Viciconte is seen using a stationary bike in the previous Instagram video. Doing this can help strengthen your muscles. Penn State PRO Wellness explained, “Riding a stationary bike can help build strength in your legs and lower body, especially if you use a higher resistance. The pedaling action can help strengthen your calves, hamstrings, and quadriceps. Additionally, it can work the muscles in your core, back, and glutes. If you use a bicycle with handles, you’ll also be able to work your upper body muscles, including your biceps, triceps, and shoulders.”

She Runs

Viciconte shared this Instagram video of herself working out. In it, she is seen doing running exercises. Viciconte captioned it, “When we exercise, our body releases endorphin, a natural substance produced by the brain during and after physical activity. The release of endorphin, also known as the 'joy hormone', helps you relax, reduces stress, anxiety and improves your mood. I always say that it's never too late to start moving, so you know that tomorrow you have no excuse 💪🏻”
