Stranger Things Star Amybeth McNulty in Two-Piece Workout Gear Wears Pink

Florence Pugh, the acclaimed actress known for her dynamic roles, shares behind-the-scenes glimpses from her upcoming film with Andrew Garfield, "We Live In Time." On Instagram, Pugh highlights moments from the set, giving fans a sneak peek into the making of the movie. Known for her candid approach to Hollywood's stringent beauty standards, Pugh has openly criticized the industry's obsession with dieting and body image, emphasizing a healthier, self-accepting lifestyle. Whether preparing for a physically demanding role or choosing her fashion statements, Pugh embraces her authenticity, advocating for body positivity and personal freedom in both her professional and personal life.

1. She Doesn’t Diet For Roles

Pugh doesn’t believe in dieting for her movie roles. She talked about this in an interview with Vogue. “From the moment you start growing thighs and bums and boobs and all of it, everything starts changing, and your relationship with food starts changing. It was expected that you would be on whatever diet that you needed to be on, and for me, that was just shocking because I'd never done that before. I think I definitely put my foot down in that aspect. I love food."

2. She Calls Out Society’s Standards

In an Instagram post, Pugh called out the body standards society has for women. "What’s been interesting to watch and witness is just how easy it is for men to totally destroy a woman’s body, publicly, proudly, for everyone to see. It isn’t the first time and certainly won’t be the last time a woman will hear what’s wrong with her body by a crowd of strangers. Thankfully, I’ve come to terms with the intricacies of my body that make me, me."

3. She Worked With A Trainer

To film Fighting With My Family, Pugh told Culture Trip that she worked with a trainer to get in shape. “As soon as we got the roles, [director] Stephen [Merchant] mentioned he wanted us to do as much wrestling as we could. We would have stunt doubles, but he wanted to get us in the ring so we needed to get really strong. We were assigned CrossFit trainers, and it was a month of intense squatting and eating as many protein bars as possible. And wrestling 24/7. My trainer had a gym in Oxfordshire, which is where I was based at the time. I still train with my guy because I actually got ready with him for The Little Drummer Girl. It’s brought a lot of skills to the surface.”

4. She Wears What She Wants

Pugh doesn’t want to let people tell her what to do. And that extends to her clothing choices. "If I'm happy in it, then I'm gonna wear it," Pugh told Vogue. "Of course, I don't want to offend people, but I think my point is: How can my nipples offend you that much? Yes, I can put makeup on and look good for a premiere. But at the end of the day, I still have hair on the top of my lip and I still smell after a workout and I still get spots when I’m stressed."

5. She Skis

According to this Instagram post, Pugh loves to ski to stay in shape. Skiing is a great workout. The University of Rochester states, “Skiing and snowboarding are thrilling activities and great workouts. Both sports are excellent cardiovascular exercises that strengthen the heart. They are also weight-bearing exercises. So they strengthen your bones as they tone your muscles.”

Alison Brie, best known for her roles in Community and GLOW, recently took to Instagram to reveal her latest achievement—sculpting her abs using EMSculpt, a non-invasive body contouring treatment. In her post, she shared a glimpse of the process, captioning it, "But first…Gotta zap those abs," while dressed in a white shirt and black pants. While EMSculpt isn't a traditional workout, Brie’s fitness routine still plays a big role in her healthy lifestyle. From strength training to Pilates and nutritious snacks, here’s how Alison Brie stays fit and motivated.

1. She Strength Trains

To prepare for her role in GLOW, Brie did a lot of strength training. Her trainer, Jason Walsh, told Women’s Health that he had her do basic exercises with the weights. “Some of the key elements were lots and lots and lots of heavy sleds, pushing and pulling," he says. "Lots of deadlifts, variations of squats, hip thrusts, pull-ups, lots of work with medicine balls, throwing and jumping and lunging. You can’t go wrong with these, there’s a reason why they’ve been around for years."

2. She Works With A Trainer

As you can see from the previous blurb, Brie works with a trainer to help her stay in shape. Personal training can be very beneficial. ACE Fitness reports that trainers can help people stay motivated. “Most of us work harder in the presence of others. Having a trainer by your side can provide the encouragement, energy and motivation you need to jumpstart your routine. A trainer can also help you set goals, create a plan to accomplish them and celebrate the day you reach them.”

3. She Does Pilates

Brie shared some of her favorite products in an interview with New York Magazine. She says that she likes to use the Forma Pilates app to help her work out. “For the last year, I have been doing Pilates at Forma Pilates in Los Angeles, which I like because the classes are really small,” Brie explained. “They have an app, so I can do Forma Pilates online when I’m traveling. There are videos of different lengths, but mostly I do the 25-minute classes, because it’s a really nice way to get into my body before going to work, and it’s a really manageable amount of time to squeeze in even if I have to get up at 4:30 a.m. Also, there’s something gentle about Pilates — this is especially true if you’re getting up early and trying to fit in a workout — because it’s all about musculature, and it was created as a form of rehabilitation. It’s not like waking up and doing burpees or something insane. You’re lying down, and it’s engaging your core and glutes. It’s also great because they use minimal props, so it’s mostly stuff I can pack in my suitcase, like bands or a couple of two-pound ankle weights, so that’s really handy.”

4. She Loves Protein Bars

Brie makes sure to eat healthy. She told New York Magazine that she likes vegan protein bars from Papa Steve’s. “I’ve become obsessed with these small-batch raw vegan protein bars. I’m not vegan, but like a lot of people, I’m a gal on the go. I try to eat fairly healthy and have high-protein content in my diet because I work out a lot, and I’m always trying to hang on to that muscle mass. Most protein bars that you find, you can’t pronounce 90 percent of the ingredients or they have a lot of sugar. These are great because everything that’s in them is, like, almond butter and coconut and apples and dates and things like that. They’re really tasty, and they come in a lot of different flavors. The apple cinnamon is my favorite, but there’s also a blueberry almond flavor that I like.”

5. She Loves Tea

Brie tells New York Magazine that she loves making tea. “I’m not really a coffee drinker, because it makes me really grouchy,” she said. “It spikes my energy too quickly and then drops me immediately, and when you’re shooting, it’s at least a 12-hour day, so if I have coffee, by hour four I’m like, ‘I’m angry now.’ So I’m really more of a tea girl and just keep coffee as a special treat. I love loose-leaf tea, because I like to steep it myself. Art of Tea has really beautiful teas. I love a good green tea or a white tea, and sometimes a black tea if I’m feeling really dangerous. [Art of Tea’s products are] really good quality. Sometimes they even look really pretty and have flower petals in them.”

1. She Does a Workout Called “MumFit”

After having a baby, Amy did a mom-specific workout. "I had a PT for six months and she used to give me little workouts and we did a thing together called MumFit. It’s targeted at mums who want to lose weight and get their body back and having two kids I know what it does to your body,” she told Sun's TV Mag. “Being a full-time mum trying to go to the gym is so hard so I like to do workouts at home, and with MumFit you can actually do the workouts in your own home. So even with the kids running around you can get a workout in.” She maintains that through healthy eating and the program, she lost almost 30 pounds in six months, without going to the gym. "So that was me at home, doing burpees, everything. It was a HIIT workout for 20 minutes, but it was the best thing that I ever did because it got me back in my size 10 jeans in 6 months. But when I do go to the gym, I just do a few of the workouts that I did at home then I still workout a couple of times a week at home."

2. She Hits the Gym Three Times a Week

When she does rely on the gym to get into shape, she goes regularly. “‘Hi guys so today is the day 1 of getting back into shape, I’ve got to be honest the second time round I found it very hard, obviously having two kids to get fit. ‘But I have been introduced to one of the best trainers out there Rob, so basically I need to get really fit,” she revealed in an Instagram story. Her trainer added that their workouts involve weights and cardio and also a nutritional overhaul.

3. This Is What She Eats

Amy maintains a mostly healthy diet. “I’m healthy during the week, but at weekends I’ll have takeaways. In the morning, I’ll have two poached eggs with avocado. Lunch is a goat’s cheese salad or jacket potato with cheese,” she told Closer. “n the evening, I make family dishes – spaghetti Bolognese, lasagne, or chicken with veg. I’ll freeze leftovers. I snack on apples, but if I’m hungry, I love Wotsits.”

4. She Restricts Calories

When she wants to lose weight, Amy restricts her calories. “I have a long way to go but I’m sticking at it. My calories everyday will be 1,200,” she revealed in an Instagram Story. “I will be putting pictures up every week of my transformation. I’m feeling so proud of myself.”

5. She Cuts Alcohol

Amy loves drinking. However, when she wants to slim down, booze is one of the first things she eliminates from her diet. “No alcohol. I usually drink every night!” she added in her Instagram Story.

Monica McNutt, the dynamic ESPN host, is not only a force in sports broadcasting but also a dedicated advocate of fitness and wellness. Through her social media, McNutt shares her workout routines, diet tips, and self-care practices, offering a glimpse into how she stays in top shape while balancing a busy career. From kettlebell workouts to mixing up her fitness regimen, McNutt emphasizes the importance of finding what works best for your body. Her dedication to health extends beyond the gym as she embraces the Whole30 diet and takes time for self-care. Whether it's a tough workout session or celebrating with friends, McNutt’s holistic approach to wellness ensures she lives a balanced, fulfilling life.

1. She Loves Kettlebell Workouts

In a recent Instagram video, wearing cute black workout shorts and a grey and back cropped top, McNutt shows off her impressive kettlebell skills.“Workout thoughts bc summer was incredible,” she wrote. “The bells are still a thing. Missed them & my KB friends, thx for the extra work & extra support.” Kettlebell exercises are popular because you can target a lot of different muscles. “Kettlebell training provides a low-impact, full-body workout that strengthens muscles and improves cardiovascular health,” according to Shape.

2. She Does Whole30

Earlier this year, McNutt shared she was doing the Whole30 program and wrote, “January means the @whole30 tribe taps in. 😂😂 10/10 still recommend even through the craziness of travel.” The Whole30 diet eliminates grains, alcohol, dairy, baked goods, legumes, and added sugar (natural or artificial) to identify food sensitives for 30 days. After 10 days, you slowly reintroduce the eliminated items one at a time to see which foods are problematic to your health. You don’t restrict calorories or monitor food portions. Meals will consist of meat, seafood, fruit, vegetables and healthy fats.

3. She Beleives in Self-Care

“Self-care time is also fitness time,” McNutt said in a video last year where she’s seen doing a variety of movements with a kettlebell, including one-legged rows and lunges with presses. “I’m big on Wellness & know that looks different for everybody,” she wrote. “Personally a good gym session is part of my wellness equation but that doesn’t mean you always love it in midst of it. S/o to @saneetarenee for helping me work off the week on Friday. Make time to take care of yourself, y’all. Be good to you.”

4. She Mixes Up Her Workouts

While McNutt loves kettlebell exercises, she mixes up her routine to work different muscles and prevent her workout from getting stale and having a lesser impact. “2024 I’m obsessed with these squat swings 😤 the power off these into the snatch was crazy,” she wrote in a video of her doing a workout.

5. She Celerates with Friends

The stunning ESPN host looks incredible and showed off her hard work in the gym on a recent girls' trip to the Dominican Republic. There, she was seen having a great time and enjoying friends, which can greatly impact your overall health. According to the Mayo Clinic, “Adults with strong social connections have a reduced risk of many significant health problems, including depression, high blood pressure, and an unhealthy body mass index.”
