Survivor's Danni Boatwright Shares Swimsuit Photo of “Pool Days”

1. Training Before the Jungle

Boatwright made sure she was prepared for the hardships of the jungle before taking part in Survivor season 11 in Guatemala. “I trained really hard before I left, working out with a trainer and really preparing myself for the physical challenges I knew I would face in the jungle,” she says. “I also worked on puzzles to prepare my mind and watched all prior seasons of the show and read books on it, as well.”

Boatwright says her biggest weakness when it comes to Survivor is doing puzzles. “I can be the first to the puzzle, and since I knew I was coming on, I've been doing puzzles,” she says. “Like, my eight-year-old beats me at puzzles. So I don't know how much I've improved. It's just because I've never had a passion for them. I'm so ADD and I'm just always on the go, I never sit down to figure those things out, so I've never had any interest in them. Since I knew I was coming back on, I've been working, working, working on them, so we'll see if maybe I have improved in that area.”

3. Swimming Model

Boatwright once took part in a photo campaign for Speedo Swimwear. “During my modeling career I did an international campaign for Speedo Swimwear that featured all Olympic swimmers—and then lil’ ol’ me,” she says. “I was booked because Speedo thought I had the physique of a swimmer. Guess I missed my calling in life! Maybe I could’ve been an Olympic medalist!”

4. Back On TV

Boatwright was thrilled to return for Survivor: Winners at War 29 seasons after winning in Guatemala. “I don't think, really, I've changed as a person,” she says. “Like, I'm still that same person. My values haven't changed. The only thing that's changed is becoming a wife and a mother, which I think really works great for helping prepare you for Survivor. Because just raising kids, it's a lot of work, a lot of dedication, and a lot of patience. I feel like I'm constantly hunting down hidden immunity idols because I'm trying to find a shoe or a sock or a uniform. So, I've had some practice there. Then, just in being married, marriage is a lot of work. It has great rewards, but it's definitely… you've got to work at it just like you do in the game of Survivor with your relationships you have.”

5. Losing 30 Pounds

Boatwright lost 30 pounds during the 2005 competition, which she made a point of regaining once she was back home again. “We had a wonderful cast. Unfortunately, since tribes swapped I got to meet some other people and it was really great fun as far as that goes, but those conditions were just brutal,” she says. “I mean, I lost 30 pounds. So, at 5'10" I came home 96 pounds. That's awful. Just diarrhea, we were sick from the lake water and we had to eat maggot-infested corn because maggots got into our corn and it was bad. Really bad.”

Natalie Anderson is heating up Hawaii in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the Survivor winner shows off her amazing body in a bathing suit while vacationing in the tropics. “#JeepLife in Hawaii,” she captioned the Instagram video. How does the reality star maintain her amazing body? Celebwell rounded up her top lifestyle habits and everything she has said about her health.

1. Survivor “Wrecked” Her Body

After winning Survivor and returning from the experience, Natlie told CBS News that it had a major impact on her health. "My hair was falling out. I lost all my muscle. I was so frail," she confessed.

2. She Ate Poorly When She Returned

Once she returned to civilization Natalie indulged in junk food like Krispy Kreme and Chick-fil-A, eating donuts and fried chicken. One day she joined fellow contestant Jeremy Collins for a cheeseburger sandwiched between two grilled cheese sandwiches. "Now when I think about it, it's so gross!" she said.

3. She Does CrossFit

Natalie’s workout of choice? CrossFit. She loves the workout so much she became a coach. CrossFit is a form of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) that focuses on improving strength, endurance, and body composition. However, it can result in injury if not done properly. The involvement of well-educated coaches decreases the injury rate.

4. She Follows the Paleo Diet

Natalie sticks to a Paleo diet, aka the “caveman” diet. It consists of lean meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds and overall, choosing low-glycemic fruits and vegetables.

5. She Runs

Natalie also runs. She recently shared her 5k running workout on the treadmill. She did a 1200 meter in 3 minutes, a 600 in 2.5 minutes, a 400 in 2 minutes, and a 300 in 1.5 minutes. 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.

Danielle Colby is best known for appearing on American Pickers. She also isn’t afraid of showing off her figure on social media. Colby shared a new swimsuit photo on Instagram this week. She captioned the post, “‘Here today, up and off to somewhere else tomorrow! Travel, change, interest, excitement! The whole world before you, and a horizon that's always changing!’ - Kenneth Grahame.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Danielle Colby stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Swims

Colby likes to swim to keep herself in shape. She shares a lot of photos on Instagram of herself in the water. She shared this photo of herself underwater, captioning it, “Keeping my head above water these days. I hope you all are doing the same.” Colby also posted this photo of herself in the ocean. She captioned it, “Its a new week, in a new season. Make a splash, friends!”

2. She Got Medical Help

Colby revealed on Patreon that she was diagnosed with uterine fibroids and had to have surgery to fix it. "I kind of figured maybe I just have a bumpy uterus and I can live with it. My doctor informed me that this was not a situation, and I couldn't live with it. In fact, this is a situation that needs to be addressed as soon as possible, surgically."

3. She Has Support

Colby had a lot of support after her surgery, particularly from her fiance. She opened up about how supportive he is on Patreon. “From the time he wakes up in the morning, doses out my medication to me, cleans the house by himself, does the laundry, makes breakfast for me, doses out more of my pills, runs and gets more necessities, gets back home, checks in on my pain, put me to bed at night on the couch (because it’s the only place I can find comfort), sleeps alone in bed (otherwise I will keep him up all night). It’s impossible for me to sleep right now for any length of time because of the pain that I feel. I have been bleeding for two months and he has been the one to take care of me, make sure that I am clean, fed, loved, and prioritized."

4. She Supports Charities

Colby likes to support different charities and organizations. She shared some of them in an interview with Freshly Inked Magazine. “I’ve worked with a couple of organizations, and I have to say, sadly some of these organizations don’t end up putting as much money into rescue as I would like to see, I’ve really found a great rescue partner to work with, Leo, at ‘Barks of hope’ in Puerto Rico. Leo, the owner, and the lead rescuer is very transparent about where donation money goes and I get to see her property regularly. When I’m in Puerto Rico I get to go to her house and help feed and care for the animals whenever I ask. Usually, she has about 40 to 60 dogs and puppies at any given time, she has horses, pigs, birds, all kinds of animals. I get to see that all of these animals are in good healthy living conditions and are getting the veterinary care they need. She’s also very proactive with adoption, it’s amazing!”

5. She Dances

Colby loves to dance and perform in burlesque shows. She shared how she got into it with Freshly Inked. “I discovered Burlesque in Chicago quite some time ago, years and years ago- I was addicted from the first show. There’s something very empowering about Burlesque. I started learning right away, I started performing way too soon! There’s some great video footage to prove that. But it’s all been a really fun journey, even watching old videos, it’s cool to see how much more at ease I am with myself and with my audience. But it’s funny, I have maintained the same lumbering stance since I started. There’s nothing delicate about me on stage, I just throw my guts out there and then I walk away and let people sort out what they saw.”
