Southern Charm star Madison LeCroy’s swimsuit line is very in demand—and no wonder, when she’s always modeling pieces from the collection. LeCroy shared a reel of herself posing in a variety of different swimsuits and bikinis, looking absolutely stunning on a beautiful beach. “It’s the time of the season 👙Madison LeCroy X @beachriot,” she captioned the post. “Wow, the next Christy Brinkley😍,” an admiring fan commented. How does LeCroy maintain her killer looks and physique? Here are her tips and tricks.

1. Shedding For the Wedding

LeCroy works out several times a week to keep up with husband Brett Randle. The reality star reveals she adapted an intense exercise regimen in the run up to their wedding in 2022. “My workout routine is five to six days a week — sometimes two times a day,” she said. “My fiancé is hot, so I have to work out.”

2. Hair Extensions

LeCroy’s hair care routine is built around her hair extensions, which she’s been rocking since she was 18 years old. “The Great Lengths Tape-In Extensions are my favorite way to add length and volume to my hair,” she says. “There are so many reasons why I love them, one of them being that these extensions are created using Double Drawn Remy Hair, so the hair is the same thickness from the root to the tip.” ​​

3. Dermatologist Sessions

LeCroy sees a dermatologist to stay on top of her skin issues. “I go to a place here in Charleston called Ella Ora and see Kristen Joy VanGuilder who people come from all over to see, I’m lucky to get an appointment,” she says. “She has me on MBR products, it’s a German brand. I have suffered with rosacea recently and she has me on all these calming products. I’ve had to chill out on my workouts and the red wine unfortunately because of it, but I do use all the MBR products religiously. I wash my face at night with the cleanser ($98) and do my healing mask ($330) and wake up to no texture and just radiant skin, which is hard when you are wearing like all this T.V. makeup, and it can get a little congested. I always follow up with the EltaMD Light Tinted Sunscreen ($35).”

4. Wedding Beauty Routine

Madison.LeCroy.4Madison LeCroy/Instagram

LeCroy paid special attention to her beauty routine as she approached her wedding. "I never really neglected my skin," she says. "I would always try new products and whatnot, but [as I'm] getting close to the wedding, I started doing more facials and I realized that this makeup I'd been packing on every day clogged my pores, and all these things I'm trying to avoid… A lot of people don't know about MBR (Medical Beauty Research). They have a three-in-one cleanser, which I follow with a serum, and then a rich moisturizer. I don't care how tipsy I am at night, I make sure I wash my face every single night. And if I'm having a breakout, they have a mask I'll sleep in twice a week."

5. Jessica Simpson Doppelganger

Madison.LeCroyMadison LeCroy/Instagram

LeCroy jokes about meeting Jessica Simpson some day and pointing out how similar their looks are. “ I’m kind of like ‘Hey, when are you going to recognize that I’ve been you for Halloween for the last six years of my life?’ I will say I always get comments that I look like her or the Dukes of Hazzard or ‘Daisy Duke’ Jessica,” she says. “I am a huge fan and I think it kind of started when I was like 18 or 19 when I started to wear hair extensions. That’s kind of when it started, and it’s stuck forever. If she ever needs a doppelgänger, I’m her girl.”

Madison LeCroy is a cast member of the hit Bravo series, Southern Charm. She is also unafraid to show off her figure on social media. LeCroy shared a revealing new photo on Instagram this week. In it, she walked by the ocean wearing a white swimsuit. LeCroy captioned the post, “Sometimes, you need to step outside, get some air, and remind yourself of who you are and who you want to be.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Madison LeCroy stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Uses A Stationary Bike

LeCroy shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. She shared this video of herself doing workouts at the gym. In it, she is seen using a stationary bike. LeCroy captioned the post, “Shinin’ all over my body.” Biking is a great workout, and using a stationary bike is just as good. Penn State PRO Wellness states, “Riding a stationary exercise bike is an efficient and effective way to burn calories and body fat while strengthening your heart, lungs, and muscles. Compared to some other types of cardio equipment, a stationary bicycle puts less stress on your joints, but it still provides an excellent aerobic workout.”

2. She Uses A Rowing Machine

Madison.LeCroy.3Madison LeCroy/Instagram

In her Instagram gym video, LeCroy is seen using a rowing machine. Rowing is a great workout to keep yourself in shape. “Rowing has both an aerobic aspect to it and also a strength aspect,” exercise physiologist Chris Dempers says to The Cleveland Clinic. “You can adjust the tension of the machine for a heavier pull and you’re still driving through your legs. There’s a postural aspect, working on the strength in your upper back. That’s a big thing as we see so many people staring down at computers or phones all day. Improving that upper spine posture is important.”

3. She Works Her Legs

Madison.LeCroy.2Madison LeCroy/Instagram

In her Instagram gym video, LeCroy is seen doing a lot of lower body workouts. She is seen doing Bulgarian split squats, hip thrusts with a machine, donkey kicks with a weight machine, and forward kicks. Harvard Health states that having strong legs are important. "Legs are the foundation for most activities," says Vijay Daryanani, a physical therapist at Harvard-affiliated Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital, to the website. "They're home to some of the body's largest muscles, and building healthy legs can improve one's performance, reduce injury, and increase endurance."

4. She Runs

LeCroy likes to run to stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself running with her trainer, Gunnar Made. LeCroy captioned the post, “Not only is he a coach, but he’s my accountability coach. @gunnar_made mad-made program drops this Monday around two baby.” Running has a lot of benefits. Better Health states, “The difference between running and jogging is intensity. Running is faster, uses more kilojoules and demands more effort from the heart, lungs and muscles than jogging. Running requires a higher level of overall fitness than jogging. Both running and jogging are forms of aerobic exercise. Aerobic means 'with oxygen' – the term 'aerobic exercise' means any physical activity that produces energy by combining oxygen with blood glucose or body fat.”

5. She Golfs

LeCroy loves to golf to keep herself in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself on the course. She captioned the post, “Beginner’s luck might be a thing.” Golf has a lot of benefits. Better Health states, “Walking an average course for a round of golf can be between five to seven kilometres. If you walk 18 holes three to five times a week, you’ll get an optimal amount of endurance exercise for your heart. If you pull your clubs or carry them, you’ll burn even more calories each round and benefit even more.”

Bianca Bustamante is revving up her engine in 2025 – in her workout gear. In a new social media post, the racecar driver reveals she is taking “the next major step” in her physical journey as a race driver “and I’ve set the target high!” she says in a new Instagram post, filled with video clips of herself lifting heavy weights at the gym. “Never been more motivated in my life, it’s not physically easy for a girl in this sport, but I’m super excited to take on this new challenge and the next big step on my racing journey,” she added. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her top lifestyle tips.

Lifting Weights

Bianca spends hours at the gym where she focuses on strength training along with endurance, cardio, reaction time, and reflexes. “You know, to be a driver, it’s a complete package. It takes strength. It takes mental fortitude. It takes reflexes, smart thinking, and survival skills,” she told MEGA Active. “Sometimes it's for the body, sometimes it's for the mind. Nothing more peaceful than early sessions,” she captioned an Instagram post of one of her sessions.

Double Down On Training

In her recent post, Bianca reveals that she working extra hard at the gym. “I’ve been working hard over the years to build a solid foundation, but in 2025, I’ll be working with @j_w_90 and I’m doubling down on my training. Increasing to two workouts a day not just on lifts but aerobic endurance, as well as a better focus on nutrition and rest, in order to raise the bar to compete in the higher formulas,” she said.

Fueling Your Body With Protein

Bianca makes sure to eat enough protein in order to build more muscle and stay as lean as possible to meet the weight requirement. “It’s been a really cool journey seeing my body develop and transform into this whole different person I never knew I could become,” she said. In her new post she added that she is meal prepping. “I’m soooo all in that im even learning how to cook & meal prep better than ever before,” she writes.

Taking Cold Plunges

As for recovery, cold plunging is part of Bianca’s training regime. Limited research supports the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increasing focus, improving sleep, and decreasing inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes post-sport recovery.

Working On Self-Esteem

Positive self-talk is also important. “Of course, I put a lot of pressure on myself, but in the end, I always tell myself that as long as I give my best and I learn from it, any mistake I make is valid,” Bianca explained. “I always try to repeat that to myself that I am valid. I’m here for a reason and there’s nothing I would rather do than be here.”

Brenda Perlaza is flaunting her fantastic figure in a tiny bikini. In a new social media post the influencer, who calls herself La Barbie Negra, looks flawless as she poses on the beach in a neon yellow swimsuit. “#viral,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Wow Wow,” one of her followers commented, while several others added fire emojis. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Jogging

Brenda enjoys jogging. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

Walking Her Dog

She also takes her dog on long walks. 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.

Dancing

You can also find Brenda dancing to burn calories. Dancing is an excellent workout for many reasons. It builds strength and promotes flexibility, helps you lose weight, and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop or die from heart disease than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues

Swimming

Brenda spends a lot of time in her swimsuit so it isn’t surprising she loves to swim. According to the CDC, swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, multiple studies support the mental health benefits of swimming.

Hydration

Finally, Brenda hydrates, especially after a long workout or sun exposure. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

But that amount varies depending on your weight, speed and stroke.”

The Mayo Clinic says that regular exercise is extremely important. “Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help you keep off lost weight. When you take part in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn. Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if you can't find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none. To gain the benefits of exercise, just get more active throughout your day. For example, take the

She Supports Animals

Romani has her own charity, Help Miami Cats. She talked about how she started this in the caption of this Instagram post. “❤️ Guys!!!! I have always loved cats and had many growing up. When I moved to Miami Beach I met a great calico named Chacha and learnt that cats were brought to the city by Mayor Lummus … against rodents. Cats rely on volunteers for their food and water and there’s a huge amount of them. There’s a city program to Spay and neuter with the wonderful @sobecats ladies and the feeding is made official by a City Sanctioned badge, yet new cats keep getting dumped daily sadly and there’s a never ending amount of work, emergencies and so on. I was on a feeding rotation but during the pandemic I was left alone caring for so many as people left town or couldn’t afford feeding anymore …I decided to start my own non profit @helpmiamicats . We feed close to 200 and when Batman got paralyzed took him and other special needs cats under my care … @stevensachs69 with the cat room and the amazing people involved devote their lives to these special souls … My life has changed a lot too … way less spare time, way more sweat and tears and lost the person I had by my side who had sadly other priorities … yet gained so much love from these lovely creatures !!! If you can please get involved in any way … follow @helpmiamicats , share, volunteer, adopt … donate … Only together we can make their world a better place !!! And yes … just me feeding the kitties and talking to them … 🤷🏻♀️👀😆❤️🙌”
