Finnish-American Nordic skier Annika Malacinski is sharing some incredible highlights from a recent trip to beautiful Bali, Indonesia. Malacinski, 23, posted a picture of herself wearing pink shorts and a white cropped tank top, gazing out over the ocean. Another shot shows her posing with a friend while wearing a wetsuit. “Posting to make sure it wasn’t all just a dream 🪸 #Bali,” she captioned the post. Here’s how the athlete stays strong, happy, and focused.


1. Strength Training and Plyometrics

Malacinski does strength training as part of her fitness routine. “My fitness regime is comprehensive and designed to develop the diverse skills needed for Nordic Combined, which includes both ski jumping and cross-country skiing,” she told Women Fitness. “I focus on compound movements like squats, deadlifts, and bench presses to build overall strength, particularly in the legs and core, which are essential for both jumping and skiing. [Plyometric] exercises such as box jumps, jump squats, and plyometric push-ups help improve explosive power and agility, crucial for ski jumping.”

2. She Meditates

Malacinski says working on her mental health has been a game-changer. “Now that I am really working on that mental side and doing some hypnosis and meditation and really pinpointing and focusing on that mental side of things, I am able to be up there, be calm and trust myself and be extremely happy and excited to jump,” she told Steamboat Pilot & Today. “I think that has been the biggest game-changer for me, shifting that viewpoint and focus especially when I am up there and about to make my jump.”

3. Yoga and Stretching

Malacinski does yoga and stretching for flexibility. “Regular yoga sessions help improve flexibility, balance, and mental focus, all of which are important for both ski jumping and skiing,” she told Women Fitness. “Pre-workout dynamic stretches prepare my muscles for intense activity and help prevent injuries.”

4. Journaling and Hypnosis

Malacinski journals to stay focused. “I really wanted to take a different approach going into this season because last season was extremely hard for me, especially on the mental side,” she told Steamboat Pilot & Today. “There have been a lot of things I have been incorporating with hypnosis as well as journaling. Something I incorporate into my journals is writing down exactly what I want to manifest for myself and what I am asking for from the universe.”

5. Pilates Sessions

Malacinski loves Pilates for her strong abs. “Training my abs is a crucial part of my fitness regime, as a strong core is essential for both ski jumping and cross-country skiing,” she told Women Fitness. “One of the secrets to my toned body is incorporating Pilates into my workout routine. Pilates is fantastic for building core strength, improving flexibility, and enhancing overall body awareness.”

Model and actress Neha Malik just posted a stunning new reel on Instagram. In the clip, she is seen posing in the water, hashtag "beach vibes," while doing an impressive hair flip, with the song "Doobey" playing in the background. (It's from the new Amazon Prime movie Gehraiyaan.) Malik is wearing a lavender bathing suit, showing off her figure. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Neha Malik stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing-Suit Photos!


1. She Jet-Skis

Malik loves to hit the beach and spend time by the water. While she’s there, she loves to do a lot of water activities. One activity that she loves to do is jet-skiing. She posted this series of photos and videos on Instagram of herself riding a jet ski in the water. She captioned the post, “​​While riding too fast I also fell off in the water. Still had so much fun.” Just be careful, too. “The risk of concussions in youth sports like football and hockey has been in the spotlight a lot lately. But concussions don’t just happen because of collisions on the gridiron, rink or playing field. They can happen on the water, too. Experts at Mayo Clinic want to make sure people know that even at slow speeds, a skier, wake boarder or even someone riding behind the boat on an inner tube can get a concussion when they hit the water,” says the Mayo Clinic.

2. She Snorkels

Malik is also a big fan of going snorkeling when she goes to the beach. She posted these photos and videos of herself snorkeling in the Maldives. She captioned this snorkeling reel, “Tried Snorkeling for the first time in life.”

3. She Strength Trains

When Malik goes to the gym, she likes to do strength training exercises and use weights. She has posted several gym videos and photos on Instagram of herself using weights and building muscle. She captioned this photo series, “Trust the magic of new beginnings.” According to the Mayo Clinic, strength training has a lot of benefits for your body. “With a regular strength training program, you can reduce your body fat, increase bone strength, increase your lean muscle mass and burn calories more efficiently.”

4. She Runs On The Treadmill

Malik also makes sure to do some cardio workouts when she goes to the gym. Her go-to cardio workout is running on the treadmill. She posted this gym video of herself using the treadmill, captioning it, “Yes I am Who I am .. n I absolutely love myself for who I am …!!” Running can save your life. “Running, even 5 to 10 min/day and at slow speeds <6 miles/h, is associated with markedly reduced risks of death from all causes and cardiovascular disease. This study may motivate healthy but sedentary individuals to begin and continue running for substantial and attainable mortality benefits,” says a study in the Journal of the American College of Cardiology.

5. She Works Out With Kettlebells

One piece of strength training equipment Malik likes to use to workout is a kettlebell weight. Kettlebells can be used for a lot of different types of workouts, including strength training, arm workouts, lower body workouts, and ab workouts. According to Physician Randy Cupps of South Denver Cardiology Associates, kettlebells can work your whole body. “The movement of a kettlebell workout involves your whole body. Swinging the kettlebell raises your pulse, which makes it an effective cardio workout. The stretching you do increases flexibility, and the weight of the kettlebell offers the benefits of weight training: strength and toning.”

Lindsey Vonn is heating up the tropics in her swimsuit. The athlete shows off her insanely fit figure in a bathing suit while on vacation, sitting by the pool with her pooch lounging on her. “Gonna have some interesting tan lines,” she joked adding the hashtag #familytime. How does the athlete keep herself in such great shape, now that she is retired? Read on to see 7 ways Lindsey Vonn stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!


1. She Recently Leaned Up

2023 Time100 GalaTaylor Hill/FilmMagic

Lindsey is "a lot leaner" than she was during her professional skiing day. "I used to do things that were so sport specific, so I had to be bigger," she told New York Post's Alexa magazine. "But everyone is like, 'Oh my God, you're in the best shape of your life.' It's like — yes and no. I'm not training for my sport anymore, I am training to be lean and fit." She recently revealed that she had gotten down to her lowest body fat percentage of her life, 15 percent—five percent less than her all-time low of 19 percent. "Different training. Different diet. Crazy!"

2. She Eats Clean

During her skiing day, Vonn revealed to People that her “ski season” diet included “a lot of protein and carbs.” However, she now works with nutritionist Phil Goglia, focusing on drinking a lot of water, eating clean food, and timing her meals. “I try not to eat too much in the morning before I work out,” she told Women’s Health. “I’m not working out crazy hard, but I notice I feel better; not as weighed down.” Post-workout, Lindsey eats “egg white omelets with broccoli, chicken, and pepper, and stuff like that.” Lunch could be chicken or salmon with kale or cabbage. Dinner is also a mix of protein and veggies – like chicken salad with avocado or a zucchini pasta with bolognese meat sauce. Her favorite snacks are almonds, kiwis, and blueberries.

3. She Does Strength Training Workouts

Vonn is all about hard-core strength training. She works out regularly with Gunnar Peterson and isn’t afraid of lifting heavy weights. Her workouts are a combo of strength and weight training, using a lot of weighted balls, battle ropes, lifts, squats. You can check out one of her workouts here.

4. She Has Workout Buddies

Vonn enjoys working out with others. One of her workout buddies is her “best friend” supermodel Ashley Graham. Other workout buddies have included X-Games skateboarding champ Leticia Bufoni and of course, her trainer, Gunnar.

5. She Doesnt Skip Workouts

Vonn regularly demonstrates that she never skips a workout. Even while on vacation you can find her sweating away at the gym. She also has a workout studio in her home.

6. She Skis

Even though Lindsey is no longer skiing for work, she still hits the slopes with her friends for a great workout. “Finally got to ski with my girl @chelseahandler! What an epic day of powder,” she captioned a recent post. Research has linked downhill skiing to a number of health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress and the occurrence of memory deficits declines.

7. She Incorporates Plant-Based Foods Into Her Diet

While Lindsey does eat animal products she tries to slip in plant-based foods when she can. “Listen, the kitchen can be intimidating to anyone. But I’m here to tell you: You can do it. And with the new year, let’s do it better, together. I’ve got 14 places to help you start eating more plant-based foods,” she captioned a post, suggesting the Just Egg cookbook to her followers. “Now, if only every new year’s resolution came with a side of omelets.”

Michelle Hunziker, the model and TV host, just posted a stunning new beach photo on Instagram this week. In it, she is seen walking by the water. She wore a white bathing suit, showing off her toned abs and legs. She captioned the post, “Colori….💙 vi ricordate le cartoline? Io scrivevo a tutti per condividere delle emozioni indescrivibili e per far viaggiare le persone a cui voglio bene con me…vi mando un bacio enorme ….❤️ #paradise #maldives @diamonds_thudufushi @manusuma @beach__side” (Rough translation: “Colors…do you remember the postcards? I wrote to everyone to share indescribable emotions and to make the people I love travel with me ... I send you a huge kiss.”) How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Michelle Hunziker stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing-Suit Photos!


1. She Led An Outdoor Fitness Session For Charity

Hunziker likes to share her workouts with her fans, and she once led an outdoor workout session in 2018. This event wasn’t just a way for Hunziker to workout with others, it also benefited a great cause. All the profits went towards the Doppa Difesa organization, which is a charity that helps survivors of domestic abuse.

2. She Remembers To Stretch

Michelle Hunziker "Iron Ciapet" Fitness PerformanceDaniele Venturelli/Getty Images

Hunziker posts a lot of her go-to exercises and workout routines on Facebook lives. And she remembers to start her workout with a session of stretching and warming up. The first thing Hunziker and her trainer do in this Facebook live workout video is a series of stretches. They are seen doing forward bends, oblique stretches, and working out their arms. It is important to do some stretches before doing an intense workout. According to Harvard Health, “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”

3. She Works Out Her Legs

Hunziker has a stunning set of gams, and she got them for a reason. In the same workout video on Facebook Live, Hunziker and her trainers are seen doing a lot of leg workouts. They are seen doing front lunges, leg lifts, squat step outs, and cross lunges. Leg workouts are important, and the expression “Don’t skip leg day,” rings true. The Mayo Clinic emphasizes the important of a varied and balanced workout. “Whether you create your own fitness training program or enlist the help of a personal trainer, your overall exercise plan should include several elements.”

4. She Uses A Chair In Her Workouts

Chairs aren’t just for sitting down. At least, they aren’t for Hunziker and her trainers. In their Facebook Live, Hunziker and her trainers do a lot of workouts with a chair. They are seen doing push ups, arm raises, and leg lifts with their hands on the chair. Multicare.org reports, “Whether it’s from your office, the comfort of your own home or in a class format, chair exercises are a great low-impact way to incorporate movement into your routine.”

5. She Does Workouts That Help Her Back

Hunziker revealed in an interview with Oggi that she had to make a lot of changes to her workout routine. She used to do a lot of outdoor sports, but a back injury prevented her from doing so. She then decided to do workouts that would help her back and posture. “I sneezed and my back got stuck. It is there that I discovered postural gymnastics which, together with pilates, changed my life, I never had pain again.”

2. She Works With A Trainer

Żmijewska revealed on Instagram that she is working with a personal trainer to stay in shape. “I'm no sports freak, but thanks to @songo.90 I liked training at the gym,” she writes in the post’s caption. “It's much better to train under the eye of a person who knows it well.

Montenegro wore a royal blue bathing suit, showing off her body. She naturally captioned the post, “Flattering.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Valeen Montenegro stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!


1. She Strength Trains

Montenegro loves to post workout videos on social media, so her followers can see how she stays fit. One type of workout she likes to do is strength training. Montenegro posted this video on Instagram of herself doing different strength exercises, including pushing a cart, doing pull-ups, and lifting a barbell. "You might learn weight training techniques by watching friends or others in the gym, but sometimes what you see isn't safe. Incorrect weight training technique can lead to sprains, strains, fractures and other painful injuries that may hamper your weight training efforts," says the Mayo Clinic. "If you're just getting started, work with a knowledgeable weight training specialist — a physical therapist, athletic trainer or other fitness specialist who's familiar with proper weight training technique. If you've been using weights for a while, consider scheduling time with a trainer to double-check your technique and identify any changes you may need to make."

2. She Teaches Online Workout Classes

During the pandemic, Montenegro obviously had to do most of her workouts at home. She decided to start holding online workout classes on Instagram live with other fitness professionals. She did this video with Alana Vincente, captioning the post, “This marks my 2 week workout!”

3. She Hikes

In addition to posting workout videos on Instagram, Montenegro loves to post videos of herself doing outdoor activities. One particular activity she likes to do is hike. She posted this reel of herself going on a walk through the woods, with the caption, “Content is life.” She also posted this hiking video, with the caption, “Art of outdoors.”

Montenegro has a YouTube channel, where she posted this video of some of her fitness and wellness secrets. The first thing she revealed is that she likes to map out her wellness goals on a whiteboard. The whiteboard has categories like, “Goals,” and “Diets,” and has the qualities she wants to incorporate into that aspect of her life.

5. She Focuses On Losing Fat, Rather Than Weight

While the terms “losing weight” and “losing fat” might sound like the exact same thing, they’re not. In the same YouTube video, Montenegro broke down the differences between the two, and revealed which one is more useful to people in their daily life. “You want to lose fat, not lose weight,” she says.

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.

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!

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.
