Dropped the weight but never quit. It’s become a lifestyle for me. It’s truly something I’m really passionate about. Some people think it’s weird [laughing].

I think my mindset, now that I have kids, is just different. I use my jeans. I don’t weigh myself. I know that I’m not good with a number on a scale, but I am good with a pair of jeans or a pair of pants or a dress, to know my body and where I am.”

Early on in my career, I felt that I wasn't pretty girl material, so I settled. That's just how you come to feel when you go on auditions, and the only auditions you get are certain characters. I was never the girlfriend or even the wife. I was always the best friend, maybe a mother in one or two scenes. It wasn't until I got How to Get Away With Murder that I realized I could redefine beauty for myself and love the way I look. It was then that I truly appreciated the way my skin radiates, my smile, and my abilities.”

I mix the B-Hydra Intensive Hydration Serum ($48) with the Protini Polypeptide Cream ($22-$68) and the day/night serum depending on the time of day and my skin loves me for it. If I’m feeling extra dry, I top it off with their Virgin Marula Oil ($38-$68). Makeup-wise, I am obsessed with the Fenty Beauty Pro Filt’r Hydrating Primer ($26) (Soft Silk). It feels like butter on the skin!”

In 2014, he revealed in an interview with SELF that he had quit smoking. “For me, it was living a cleaner lifestyle, and also because I’ve dedicated my whole life to this entertainment industry, and I don’t want to slow myself down at a young age. It’s all about my health, stamina, endurance, vocal clarity and keeping my voice in good condition.”

15. Ciara

Los,Angeles,-,Nov,12:,Ciara,Arrives,For,Baby2baby,AnnualShutterstock

18. Jaimie Alexander

Los,Angeles,-,Mar,10:,Jaimie,Alexander,Arrives,For,‘bloodshotıShutterstock

Jaimie Alexander was born in Greenville, South Carolina, and also lived in Grapevine, Texas. She opened up about her diet in an interview with Shape. “My day starts with a green shake called Garden of Plenty, which is packed with superfoods and grains.

I generally keep my diet pretty healthy, but if there's pizza, I'll eat it. And I will knock back a beer or some bourbon, too. I don't deprive myself. And I hate being skinny. It's not a good look for me. When I eat well and work out, I'm truly at my best."

Hunter Hayes is originally from Breaux Bridge, Louisiana. In an interview with Wondermind, Hayes revealed that he is going to therapy, and shared what he took from them. “I really loved [therapy] the first time [around 2011] because it was a chance for me to just talk through things that I didn’t know how to talk about with other people. … I was wound so tight when I started touring. I was just like a giant stress ball, and in the first session, it was like: ‘Alright, here are things that might help you, like, chill the fuck out during your day.’ I learned] little things like when you're walking from the bus to the stage, walk slower. [And my therapist] also gave me mindfulness exercises when I felt like I couldn’t nap and breathing techniques to help me before meet and greets or interviews. So it started as that, and then I started seeing somebody else who got to some of the deeper things and scarier things and fear-based things.”

Idris Elba has been previously named People’s “Sexiest Man Alive”, and has been considered for the role of James Bond. Elba told Men’s Health that he’s a fan of kickboxing. "Some guys want to be toned or want to jog for miles, but my ultimate fitness goal is to be fight-ready. If I step into the ring, could I go toe-to-toe for five rounds? That's what I strive for. That's what I consider fit. I want to know that if I'm being wrestled to the ground, I've got the strength to fight a man off. Kickboxing is rugged—it's all core strength. But when you're fight-ready, you feel like you can last forever."

This is more functional.”

17. Matt Damon

When things start getting a little easier, when you start lifting weight you never lifted before, when you start bench-pressing 225 pounds 10 times and it ain’t nothing, and then you start giving hugs to girls and they’re, like, feeling you up a little, and you think, ‘What’s this?’—then it’s, ‘This is all right.’ So I learned to love it when I started seeing results.”

19. Lindsey Vonn

What do Rebel Wilson, Kevin Smith, Kelly Osbourne, Adele, Chris Pratt, and Jenna Jameson have in common? They are just a handful of celebrities who completely overhauled their appearance, transforming their health and happiness in the process. “Six months seems like a long time unless you’re looking backwards,” Pratt has said. “All you have to do is just a few things everyday and remain consistent, and time will fly just as fast as it flies if you’re working hard or not. If you just cut the [bad stuff] out of your diet, and if you spend an hour a day doing something physical that will make you sweat, six months will pass by, you will feel better mentally, physically, spiritually—it all is tied together. It might cost you a little bit of money, but it won’t cost as much as [what] you won’t be eating over the next six months.” Through diet, exercise, surgery, and lifestyle changes, here are what these 20 celebrities did to change their appearance—and their lives.

1. Rebel Wilson

rebel-wilsonGetty Images

Rebel Wilson famously lost 80 pounds during what she called her “Year of Health.” The 43-year-old worked out with a personal trainer and overhauled her diet—but made it clear balance was always going to be key. “I just noticed I put on 3 kgs on my holiday,” she captioned an Instagram post. “I’m at an amazing all-inclusive resort…I’ve lost all self-control,” the star wrote on an Instagram post. “But, you know what? I can get up tomorrow, and go to the gym, and hydrate, and eat healthy, and love myself. It doesn’t help to be hard on yourself, but I know what it’s like to feel guilty and not great after eating too much. But if you’re like me, just know YOU are more than just your weight. Your weight doesn’t define you. Just try your best to be healthy and don’t be so hard on yourself. Be the best version of you.”

2. Adele

Adele, 35, lost 100 pounds through changing her diet and lifting heavy weights. The singer says she started working out to help deal with anxiety issues, and the benefits turned out to be better than expected. “I’m not shocked or even phased by [people’s reactions],” she told Oprah Winfrey. “Because my body has been objectified my entire career… I was body-positive then and I’m body-positive now. It’s not my job to validate how people feel about their bodies. … I’m trying to sort my own life out.”

3. Khloé Kardashian

khloe-kardashianGetty Images

Khloé Kardashian, 38, lost 40 pounds after splitting from husband Lamar Odom. "When I first started [working out], I cared so much," she says. "Maybe [it's] just being younger. I think you care about the scale. I don't even look at a scale anymore. I think it's really unhealthy. I haven't in years. They're just numbers. I'm sort of a control freak, but in life, we can't control everything. But the gym, what I put in it, I know I'm going to get out of it. And being a control freak — I'm proud of it — I love that I have that control."

4. Chris Pratt

chris-prattGetty Images

Chris Pratt, 43, went from loveable Andy Dwyer on Parks and Recreation to a bona fide action hero, completely transforming his physique in the process. The actor lost 60 pounds in six months. “I actually lost weight by eating more food, but eating the right food, eating healthy foods and so when I was done with the movie my body hadn’t been in starvation mode,” he says. “It wasn’t like I was triggered to just gorge myself and get really fat again… It’s something that I think I can maintain because now I don’t spend four hours in the gym each day. I do maybe one hour in the gym maybe four days a week, and that’s it.”

5. Kylie Jenner

Kylie Jenner went through such a drastic transformation, people were convinced she had severe cosmetic surgery. "People think I fully went under the knife and completely reconstructed my face, which is completely false,” she says. “I'm terrified! I would never. They don't understand what good hair and makeup and, like, fillers, can really do... It's fillers. I'm not denying that." Jenner does admit her makeup can make a significant difference to her looks. "Makeup is something that makes me feel empowered, makes me feel good, and I think it's such a positive thing. There's no harm in playing around with it and feeling good about yourself."

6. Kelly Osbourne

Kelly Osbourne grew up in the public eye, and dealt with plenty of criticism and body shaming. Now 85 pounds lighter, the reality star is thrilled with her physique. “Okay, so that's the whole thing. Everyone was so, like, caught up in how, how I look. They never asked me how I felt,” she says. “And the truth is I was so happy and I felt amazing. I did it for me. I did it because I wanted to live. What I saw in the mirror… I wanted the body to match the mind, because I spent so much time working on my mind and then I spent a year working on my body and now it's about the soul… did the mind, the body, now the soul.”

7. Charles Barkley

Charles Barkley, 60, lost 352 pounds and went down to 290 pounds from 352 pounds. “My doctor told me I was fat. So I'm down 60 pounds," Barkley said. "She said to me, 'There's no fat old people, only fat young people.’ And she said, ‘If you don't get this stuff together you're not gonna be around.’"

8. David Harbour

Stranger Things star David Harbour, 48, lost 75 pounds for his role in the hit Netflix show by intermittent fasting and working out. “I would do a mixture of resistance work and cardio,” he says. “The cardio was a lot of running but with very low intensity over an extended period of time, around 60 to 90 minutes at a heart rate of about 165. That was something that was en vogue a while ago, but now everything has become high-intensity training and that kind of working out has lost its luster. But I’ve found that not only did it help me physically with losing weight, but also mentally. It really helped with my anxiety and my breathing rate. You get about 40-45 minutes in and my breathing would just slow down and I just became more relaxed.”

9. Adrienne Bailon

Adrienne Bailon, 39, lost 20 pounds and was happy with the results. "Well, I made major changes like choosing to eat plant-based, changing my whole relationship with food & working out!” she says. “I've been consistent with my self discipline (although it's been so hard at times). I'm constantly reminding myself that the greatest form of self love is self discipline! They say it takes 21 days to form a new habit... I just want to encourage you to take this time to develop healthy habits! Drink your water, squat, rest, read, pray, take your vitamins, eat your veggies!”

10. Katie Maloney

Vanderpump Rules star Katie Maloney, 36, lost over 20 pounds with the help of a nutritionist. "I thought it was a thyroid thing, so I was going to the doctor and getting blood work done," she says. "I think it's really important to also check up on your health because even though it wasn't a thyroid thing, I did discover that my glucose levels were pretty high and that could've led to some maybe pre-diabetic problems… From there, I met a really great nutritionist, who helped me understand how to eat for my metabolism, especially with being insulin resistant or insulin-sensitive. So now I have a great understanding on nutrition and what kinds of food I should and shouldn't be eating."

11. Megan Fox

Megan Fox, 37, has changed a lot since her Transformers days—and she is proud of her progress. “I’m always completely sober,” she says. “I don’t even drink a glass of wine. I don’t ever smoke. I don’t drink coffee. I’m super strict with my diet and I never deviate. I’m not saying you have to be like that,” she explains. “I’m saying for me, that’s how I feel the best. When I was in Costa Rica, somebody described the purpose of alcohol with plant medicine: You use alcohol to extract the essence of a plant. And I thought, That is exactly how alcohol makes me feel. As though it is extracting my essence."

12. Randy Jackson

Randy Jackson, 66, lost over 100 pounds after gastric bypass surgery. Now he maintains his weight through Pilates and healthy food. “I hate the word diet,” he says. “I don't use that anymore. Anybody that’s lost weight, you lose it and then you start eating and drinking more and it all starts coming back. That’s what started happening to me. I was like, ‘No, I’m not going to spend my life going through this.”

13. Ed Sheeran

Ed Sheeran, 32, lost 50 pounds after making major lifestyle changes. "It's the first time I've been really healthy," he says. "I've kind of stopped all the bad habit stuff in my life. Started exercising every day. I was eating like a takeaway every single day, and now I don't eat takeaway every single day and it's been good. It just happened. And because I wasn't having chicken wings and two bottles of wine a night."

14. Ryan Lochte

Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte, 38, lost 21 pounds in two months back in 2019. “Getting my groove back thanks to the help of @fitplan_app ,” he said. “I’ve adjusted my diet and upgraded my fitness routine and I’m down 21 pounds since Nationals in August! Not only is it my goal to make my 5th Olympics but it would be an honor to represent USA in Tokyo next Summer!” Lochte didn’t end up qualifying, but the newly chiseled physique must have been some comfort.

15. Joe Giudice

Joe Giudice, 51, came out of prison a transformed man. The ex-husband of Teresa Giudice lost a significant amount of weight through exercise and cutting out excessive amounts of wine. “I am not going to be able to drink for a while, which is good because I don’t even know when it’s been since I haven’t had a drink,” he said in 2016. “It’s been a long time. Definitely the whole year I drank every day a couple of bottles at night just to go to bed.” According to Teresa, he lost 35 pounds in the first six months of his sentence. “He’s running, he’s doing 1,000 sit-ups a day,” she said. “So he lifts weights and that’s what he’s doing. Just running, working out and then a lot of push-ups and sit-ups. He’s doing over 1,000 sit-ups.”

16. Jenna Jameson

Jenna Jameson, 49, lost 80 pounds on a low carb, high-fat diet, going from 205 pounds to 125 pounds. "Since I'm at my goal weight (125) I don't want to lose more, so I'm upping my calories from my usual #ketodiet," she said. "But LISTEN TO ME, I am not saying to myself… 'it's ok to eat garbage processed nastiness!' I am sticking to yummy organic fresh foods. I'm just allowing myself room."

17. Gordon Ramsay

Gordon Ramsay, 56, lost 50 pounds after comparing himself to wife Tana Ramsay. "Tana was not impressed with the way I was," he said. "I was overweight, 18 stone [252 pounds]. I didn't have a figure. I didn't feel that good… I look at the pictures and think, 'How did Tana stay around?' Because Tana has got better looking and more gorgeous.” Ramsay changed his diet and developed a lifestyle that worked for him. "I'm very good at eating five times a day," he says. "But small amounts as opposed to big breakfast, big lunch and big dinner. There's nothing worse than eating dinner at 5:30 and then having to get up and cook for three hours. I like to keep on my toes and eat small bits. Almost like in Hong Kong – four or five times a day, small bowls of food."

18. Simon Cowell

Simon Cowell, 63, lost 60 pounds and completely transformed his physique. “The most dramatic period was the first month where most of the weight comes off and you look at yourself and think ‘wow’,” he says. “All I do is avoid just red meat - white meat is fine - and I eat loads of vegetables, salads and drink this great beer. If you’re on a diet you have to keep the food sensible, but it’s got to be interesting and tasty, then the diet’s surprisingly easy."

19. Rosie O’Donnell

rosie-odonnellGetty Images

Rosie O'Donnell, 61, lost 64 pounds after gastric sleeve surgery. “Believe it or not, that surgery changed my life,” she says. “It doesn’t reroute your intestines. You have no issue with going to the bathroom in public. But your relationship with food ends… I don’t feel that same pull for it. They told me the part of the stomach they remove have hunger hormones in it, called ghrelins. And that changes the way you think and feel about food. I feel so much freer now in terms of needing to move and play with my kids.”

20. Kevin Smith

kevin-smithGetty Images

Kevin Smith, 52, lost 50 pounds in six months after suffering a heart attack in 2018, by switching to a vegan diet. “Nobody wants to hear that,” he says, “and I don’t blame them. I don’t care how you prepare them; vegetables suck compared to a piece of cake or a steak. But I think of it this way: I know what that stuff tastes like. And it’s not going anywhere. I ate the way I wanted to for 47 years; I will try the way I’m supposed to for one year and see what happens.”

1. Jennifer Lopez

Los Angeles Premiere Of Warner Bros. "The Flash" - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

Jennifer Lopez defies the laws of aging. “In my 20s and 30s I used to work out but not like I do now,” she explained in InStyle’s 2021 The Beauty Issue about how she has adapted her approach to fitness as she gets older. “It's not that I work out more; I just work out harder and smarter. And it doesn't take me as long as it did in the past. I do it more for my health than I do for looks, which is funny. When you do things for the right reasons, you actually look better!” She also understands there are no shortcuts. “You got to work out, you got to watch what you eat,” she told Us Weekly. “It’s a job— you’ve got to buckle down.”

2. Gwyneth Paltrow

Gwyneth is “a total die-hard” fan of the Tracy Anderson Method, the dance-inspired workout responsible for her svelte physique. “Her method works so well for me. I've seen all these fads come and go, and nothing works for me the way that Tracy's approach does, so I really stick with it,” she revealed to Shape. “She's amazing.” On Gopp she added that her “investment” in the pricey workout, was well worth it. “She has kicked my formerly sagging ass into shape and I will be forever grateful,” she added on Goop. As for diet, she strives to “eat pretty clean during the day” by consuming “good proteins and lots of vegetables and not too much grain or sugar, and nothing baked,” she told Shape. As the day progresses, she relaxes her approach, eating whatever she wants for dinner, but shying toward lean proteins like fish and chicken.

3. Eva Longoria

Eva Longoria exercises for her body and mind. “I work out every day as my mental health,” Eva told The Cut In Her Shoes podcast. “People are like, “You’re always working out,” and they think it’s vanity, but that’s my hour where I can really get my endorphins pumping and prepare me for the day. It’s my mental health hour.” She told Women’s Health that she does strength training with a personal trainer—either Julia Brown of Thrive With Julia or Grant Roberts of Granite Gym. “I do very heavy weights,” she said. “I feel like my body changes the most when I do that—I wear a heart rate monitor, and I can see my heart rate spike from just doing a heavy bicep curl.”

4. Carrie Underwood

2021 CMT Music Awards - Red CarpetJason Kempin/Getty Images

Carrie Underwood launched a fitness app, Fit52, with her trainer, Eve Overland. “I want to be healthy and fit 52 weeks of the year, but that doesn't mean I have to be perfect every day,” she told Women’s Health. “This philosophy is a year-round, common-sense approach to health and fitness that involves doing your best most of the time.” Her other stay-fit secret? She mixes up her workouts. "I want to listen to my body and do what I'm in the mood for. On different days, that means different things,” she told Shape. She even switches up her routine by the weather. “I'm a bit of a seasonal workout person. If you think about it, in the winter, we're all bundled up, and we all want to be warm, comfortable, there are a lot of holidays. So, I'll lift more and do less cardio then and make use of all those extra holiday food calories and build some muscle. In the summer, I want to feel lighter. I want to run and sweat, so I use the temperature and that feeling to lean up a bit and do more outdoor cardio things."

5. Jennifer Garner

94th Annual Academy Awards - ArrivalsDavid Livingston/Getty Images

Jennifer Garner dished her secret to longevity on her 51st birthday while on the The Drew Barrymore Show. “What I do in the morning is I work out,” Garner said. “You’ve gotta do hard cardio to get that—to get yourself—I’m sorry, you do,” she said. “We need it in our bodies, but we need it in our brains. Your brain needs it!” she exclaimed. “You find something that actually makes you feel joyful while you’re doing it or it won’t work.”

6. Vanessa Hudgens

28th Screen Actors Guild Awards - Red CarpetDimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images

Vanessa Hudgens maintains that revamping her approach to fitness helped her achieve her best body ever. “My fitness has taken a turn. Cardio has been put on the back burner, and I'm very OK with that,” Hudgens recently told Shape. “The things that have become the most important are balance and mental health.” She is “obsessed” with working out at The Dog Pound and is “basically always working out,” she told People. “I feel like I’ve kind of found a recipe for my body that works,” she says. “It’s SoulCycle for cardio, to keep my heart healthy. It’s Pilates for lengthening, leaning and toning. And yoga for my mental health.”

7. Kim Kardashian

Los Angeles Premiere Of Hulu's New Show "The Kardashians" - Red CarpetEmma McIntyre/Getty Images

Kim Kardashian’s secret weapon is her trainer, bodybuilder Melissa Alcantara. “Her schedule is crazy, and mine is also crazy, so we work out really early in the morning at 6 a.m,” Alcantara told Women’s Health said, adding that "85 per cent of our training is weight training, and the other 15 is made up of cardio" and that Kim works out six days per week for 60-90 minutes each time. What exercises does she do? Ball slams, burpees, sprints, and ladder drills to get her heart rate up. "She’s super responsible, she never cancels – she’s the best client and athlete you can have," Alcantara shared. "It’s just her drive. She's like, ‘I have to work out, this is part of my life.' It’s all about the mindset." To get into shape for the Met, Kim added another element. “I would wear a sauna suit twice a day [and also] run on the treadmill,” she told US Vogue.

8. Khloe Kardashian

CFDA Fashion Awards - ArrivalsKevin Mazur/WireImage

Khloe Kardashian is adamant that she works hard for her body and is disciplined with her diet. She dished to People that one of her tricks is cutting out dairy, and practicing portion control. "I used to eat nachos with artificial cheese, and too many sweets," she said, "I kind of eat what I want, but in portion control, which I never knew before. You have to train your body to eat less. Your eyes are bigger than your stomach." She added to USA Today that she likes to mix up her workouts. "I love Soul Cycle, hot yoga, circuit training, obstacle-type things," she says. "I don't like to do the same workout all the time."

9. Jennifer Aniston

26th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

Jennifer Aniston recently shook up her approach to exercise, toning down her super-aggressive “feel the burn” approach. “I work out about three to four times a week, which is basically all your body really needs. I’ll do Pvolve, and then to switch it up, sometimes I’ll do Pilates, or sometimes I’ll take a hike,” she told Bustle. She also focuses on recovery. “I love an infrared sauna or an Epsom salt bath. Those are two really good for drawing that lactic acid out, and I’ll even use my hands or a little gua sha on my legs for the same purpose.”

10. Jessica Biel

Los Angeles Premiere FYC Event For Hulu's "Candy" - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

Jessica Biel maintains that striking a yoga pose is the secret to her hot body. "I started getting into yoga about 10 years ago through a close friend who was an instructor. At first I felt like, ‘I can’t do all those crazy poses,’ and I still can’t, but I’m not competing with anyone. I want to demystify yoga and bring it out to more women and men in the community, where it doesn’t have to be intimidating,” she told Gaiam. She also loves to hike. "I've learned that I can push forward, which was exciting for me,” she told Glamour about hiking Mount Kilimanjaro. “When you get out into the wilderness and strip [away] all of the stuff in your everyday life, you really gain a great respect for your own life, simply as it is. Needing things starts to feel like, Oh, I kind of have everything, don't I? It's pretty great."

11. Halle Berry

47th Annual People's Choice Awards - ArrivalsAmy Sussman/Getty Images

Halle Berry maintains that the “will and the desire” to work out is half the battle. “And you have to make up your mind that it's important,” she said. Over the years she has “been adding to” her fitness regimen. “It used to just be working out with weights, and then I got into Pilates, and then I got into yoga, and now I'm into martial arts."

12. Hailey Bieber

Hailey Bieber is a big fan of pilates. “I used to be a dancer, so I love Pilates because it really elongates and strengthens my muscles ... I also recently started to box for some cardio,” she told Harper's Bazaar. “I found that remembering the combinations and learning how to move your body in boxing has been good for mental health.”

13. Pink

2022 American Music Awards - ArrivalsAxelle/Bauer-Griffin/FilmMagic

P!nk executes daily at home workouts. “I like being strong. I identify with my core, my intuition and my strength,” she recently told Women’s Health. “I have big, wide feet and I joke, ‘The better to kick you with’. I’m short, close to the ground, fast and agile.”

14. Beyonce

Shawn Carter Foundation GalaKevin Mazur/Getty Images

Beyoncé promotes a plant-based diet, which was introduced to her by her nutritionist, Marco Borges. “We know the power of vegetables,” Borges said in a video of Bey’s vegan journey to Coachella. “Plant-based is really about eliminating all of the overly processed foods that don’t do us any good anyways. When you’re eating plant-based you will definitely have more energy.” During the video, the star munches on veggies while doing her thing. “It’s time to work, so I have to get in that zone, it’s like a different headspace,” she said. “Me getting the weight off was so much easier than getting back in shape and my body feeling comfortable.”

15. Gabrielle Union

Gabrielle Union told Women's Health that she only devotes 50 minute a day, three days a week to exercise. Six minutes per session involves cardio – two minute intervals between three sets. "I like to mix it up so I don’t get anxiety staring at the treadmill," she said. "Cardio could be jumping jacks, running up my driveway, side shuffles like I used to do in basketball, an elliptical, treadmill, or sled pushes."

"I have a very hard time juggling my personal life, my work life, my three kids, my husband [who's] traveling all the time.

For dinner I might go for sushi, or grill Brazilian BBQ at home. I also have some nuts or a protein bar in my bag all the times in case I get hungry while I’m running around.”

3. Karlie Kloss

5. Joan Smalls

Liberty,State,Park,,Nj,-,June,1,,2019:,Joan,SmallsShutterstock

Joan Smalls shared some of her favorite workouts with The Wall Street Journal. “I’ve been doing 45 minutes [a day]—it’s mostly resistance training with my own body. I’ll do planks, I’ll do different types of sit-ups, anything that’s for my core because I have scoliosis. I do a lot of glute work: kickbacks, squats, fire hydrants. Cardio, I’ll do maybe three times a week. When I was in Puerto Rico, I’d run outside because it gave me a nice view to be outdoors and running in between palm trees. I haven’t done Muay Thai in over a year now, and I’m starting to miss it. I believe a girl should always be able to throw a good punch. It’s a good self-defense.”

6. Adriana Lima

You cannot wake up and see yourself in the mirror and think ‘I look great so I can just relax’, you have to always push yourself to be better.”

Los,Angeles,-,Mar,17:,Chanel,Iman,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Chanel Iman is all about self-care. She talked about why it is important to her with StyleCaster. “To me self-care and wellness are not just about my hair, body, and skin; but most importantly, it’s about my mind-set. What you feed your spirit is what guides you. Staying positive and on top of the regimens that keep you shining is what will keep you confident that your self-care is working. If you wake up with a blah attitude, your day will be blah. But if you energize your day looking forward to what the world has to offer, your day will make you smile.”

Monday,May,2,,2016,-,New,York,,New,York,-laraShutterstock

We do a combination of booty kicks and leg raises mixed with some ballet movements like plies. I have never felt a burn like that in my life!”

12. Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Los,Angeles,,Ca,-,February,10,,2016:,Actress,Rosie,Huntington-whiteleyShutterstock

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has amazing abs, and she makes sure to do a lot of workouts to keep them that way. She shared her go-to exercises with Harper’s Bazaar. “I have to really work on my stomach.

14. Barbara Palvin

Antibes,,France.,May,17,,2018:,Barbara,Palvin,At,The,25thShutterstock

She tells Us Weekly that she’s done this even before she became a Victoria’s Secret Angel. “Even before I became an Angel, I started to get a routine into my life, working out every day or four times a week and eating in a certain way that works for my body.

New,York,,Ny,-,June,03,,2019:,Doutzen,Kroes,AttendsShutterstock

After having her second child, Doutzen Kroes talked about how she lost the baby weight in a 2015 interview with Grazia. “It was hard to find the time to work out, but for my job I have to. I would work out, but I would also have my teacher come to my place so I could do pilates at home. I gave birth end of July and then I had the Victoria’s Secret show in November, four months later, so I started around the beginning of October because you can’t start too early because of your abs and you have to be careful. I was doing exercises from October, and did a lot with LA Beautiful in New York and mixed in pilates and biking.”

17. Lily Aldridge

Los,Angeles,-,Mar,12:,Lily,Aldridge,At,The,2023Shutterstock

Lily Aldridge shared some of her wellness tips in an interview with SELF. She says that she makes sure to get her workout in right away. “I always try to work out in the morning if I can.

It gets rid of dark spots when you have pimples, and makes your face really fresh. So, literally the honey that you eat, I apply to that to my skin and it balances bacteria and accelerates the healing of skin cells. I use it as a mask [twice a week], so after cleaning my face I put it on and leave it for 20 minutes and then wash off."

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...

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 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.”
