Ellie Thumann is turning 22 in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the Sports Illustrated model shows off her incredible body in a bathing suit as she celebrates her 22nd trip around the sun, quoting Taylor Swift in the caption. “dare I say… I don’t know about you but I’m feeling 22,” she wrote. How does the young model stay fit and healthy? Celebwell rounded up her top habits.


1. She Takes Care of Her Skin

Ellie revealed her skincare secrets to Bare. “A huge part of it I blame on genetics – both my mom and grandma have amazing skin. Focusing on sunscreen while growing up on the West Coast was super important, as well as finding a consistent routine rather than trying to venture into multiple different products. Sticking with the brand La Roche Posey has done wonders for my skin. Also, finding a good eye cream and never traveling without a heavy moisturizer on me helps so much! I also think investing money into facials! I’ve really been trying to go monthly, and I have seen such a difference with that, especially with having to wear so much make up and doing a lot of travel. It really helps my skin feel better!” she said.

2. She Does Pilates

“I really focus on Pilates,” she told Bare about her go-to workout. “I have never been into heavy weight lifting or high intensity classes. It just personally has never made me feel my best and I feel so empowered when I’m doing Pilates or a mat exercise!”

3. She Walks

Ellie.Thuman.2Ellie Thuman/Instagram

Ellie is also a walker, and “getting my steps in outdoors,” she told Bare. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, 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 led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

4. No Diets

Ellie.Thuman.3Ellie Thuman/Instagram

“I’ve never followed a strict diet because I’ve always enjoyed eating healthy, and I think by looking at it in a positive way like that, it makes it a lot better on my own mindset and makes eating healthy super enjoyable!” Thumann told Bare about her approach to eating.

5. She Talks It Out

Ellie.Thuman.4Ellie Thuman/Instagram

When Ellie experiences “down” moments, she relies on her friends and family. “I tend to get down on myself a lot, and I think I can be very hard on myself. Things that always help me are talking about it with my friends and family. For me, bottling up any emotion, good or bad, can be really challenging and I feel like I can’t get it off my chest until I can talk to people. If I can’t do that immediately, I think having my journals always helps me because it can really help getting all your scattered thoughts into one place and kind of organized while you’re feeling a certain way,” she said.

6. Reading

“I also love to read and go on my therapy walks with my therapy headphones, which is what I jokingly called the headphones that I bought at the beginning of 2022 when I was going through a really hard time. Since then, they have traveled the world with me and whenever I’m feeling anxious, I put on my headphones and feel so much better,” she added.

Gabriella Elnicki first made waves when she appeared on the most recent season of The Bachelor. She recently took a trip to Majorca, and spent time at the beach. She shared some highlights from her trip on Instagram. In some of them, Elnicki is seen on a paddleboard in the ocean. She captioned the post, “Getting aquatic.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Gabriella Elnicki stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Paddleboards

As you can see from her recent post, Elnicki likes to paddleboard to stay in shape. Paddleboarding is a great way to get outside and work on your balance. Having good balance is necessary. The American Heart Association states, “Having good balance is important for many activities we do every day, such as walking and going up and down the stairs. Exercises that improve balance can help prevent falls, a common problem in older adults and stroke patients. They can also benefit those who are obese since weight is not always carried or distributed evenly throughout the body. A loss of balance can occur when standing or moving suddenly. Often we are not fully aware that we may have weak balance until we try balance exercises.”

2. She Swims

Paddleboarding isn’t the only water activity Elneiki likes to do. She’s also a fan of swimming. Elnecki posts a lot of photos on Instagram of herself in the water. She shared this set of photos of herself at a pool in Miami. Elnicki captioned the post, “Soft smiling through the pain of my hangover.”

3. She Does Pilates

Elnicki is a big fan of Pilates. She shared this video on Instagram of herself at the gym doing Pilates exercises. Pilates has a lot of benefits. Better Health states, “Pilates promotes mobility and strength of all the major muscle groups in the body in a balanced fashion, whilst also having a key focus on the deep core muscles. It improves posture, flexibility, strength, balance and body awareness.”

4. She Gets Some Sunshine

"It’s hard to believe we have already been in Europe for a week! Mallorca was definitely sprinkling Spanish sunshine 😏," she wrote yesterday. Basking in the warm embrace of sunlight goes beyond just lifting our spirits; it offers a myriad of health benefits that are essential for our overall well-being. Sunlight is a natural source of vitamin D, crucial for bone health and immune system function. It also stimulates the production of serotonin, a neurotransmitter that enhances mood and helps combat stress and depression. Exposure to sunlight can regulate our sleep-wake cycles, promoting better sleep patterns and improved cognitive function. Moreover, sunlight triggers the skin's production of nitric oxide, which can help lower blood pressure and reduce the risk of heart disease. While we must protect our skin from harmful UV rays, incorporating safe amounts of sunshine into our daily routines can lead to a healthier and happier life.

5. She Loves the Beach

The beach offers a treasure trove of health benefits that go far beyond its scenic beauty and soothing sounds of crashing waves. The saltwater present in the sea is a natural remedy for numerous skin conditions, aiding in the healing of wounds, reducing inflammation, and improving skin elasticity. Coastal air, rich in negative ions, can boost our body's ability to absorb oxygen, enhancing lung function and respiratory health. Moreover, spending time at the beach promotes physical activity, as walking or jogging on the sandy shore provides an excellent low-impact workout for the muscles and joints. The sound of ocean waves has been shown to induce a state of relaxation, reducing stress and promoting mental well-being. Additionally, exposure to sunlight on the beach facilitates the production of vitamin D, essential for bone health and immune system support. Combining the therapeutic qualities of saltwater, fresh air, physical activity, and sun, the beach becomes a powerful natural remedy for overall health and vitality. So, make time for the beach, and let its healing embrace revitalize your mind, body, and soul.

It can also be helpful in training for sports or in physical rehabilitation.”

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.

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

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.
