Hurdler Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone is dealing with the seasonal ‘May gray’ in Los Angeles by donning her favorite warm workout gear. McLaughlin-Levrone, 24, shared pictures of herself wearing sneakers, white pants, and a warm sweatshirt, posing by a sunny window. “These LA summers got me like 🌬️❄️,” she captioned the post. “LA Polar bear,” a fan commented. McLaughlin-Levrone is preparing for the Olympics In Paris—here’s what her training routine looks like.


1. Daily Routine

McLaughlin-Levrone trains and works out for hours every day. "I'll wake up around 7:00 a.m., head to practice at about 9:30 a.m., practice for two hours, pick up some food, then head to weights where I lift for around an hour to an hour and a half," she told PEOPLE. "Then I go to get some treatment which could be anywhere from an hour to two hours, find some dinner and then just rest and recover until I do it all again the next day."

2. Ice Baths

McLaughlin-Levrone swears by ice baths for rest and recovery. “I know a lot of people hate the cold and sitting in ice for 10 minutes does not sound appealing to anybody, but I love an ice bath,” she told Marie Claire. “After three minutes everything goes numb, so you’re golden for the next seven. It's so good for the body and inflammation. I’m more alert and more awake after.”

3. Stay In Your Lane

McLaughlin-Levrone has good advice for young athletes. "I would just say focus on your lane. Literally and figuratively," she told PEOPLE. "Other people are going to peak at different times. And I think even to this day in my pro career, people will run fast at different times and it can throw you off if you're not focused on what's ahead of you."

4. Wellness Advice

McLaughlin-Levrone says she would tell her younger self that wellness is about the journey, not the destination. “It's always changing,” she told Marie Claire. “You're always growing and finding new things that either work for you or don't work for you. Wellness isn’t so much a goal that can be completely attained, but rather something to always continue to strive towards. I was always thinking that once I got to a certain point, then I would be good. But, it's a never ending growth cycle.”

5. Rest and Relaxation

McLaughlin-Levrone’s perfect day is all about rest and relaxation. “I would probably wake up and start with a cold glass of lemon water to help my body reset and detox. Then I would probably go get a facial—the whole thing,” she told Marie Claire. “Hydration, relaxation, extractions, all the good stuff. I love getting my nails done. That, to me as an athlete, is really taking care of myself. My toes and my fingernails can get really dirty, especially working out all the time. Then I would go to the beach. I would read and soak in the sun, while getting some vitamin D. Then I would come home, relax with my husband, and get some good food in me.”

It might be the end of August, but it is still summer. And actress Paris Berelc, best known for her Disney Channel work and as Alexa Mendoza in the Netflix sitcom Alexa & Katie, is taking advantage of that. She posted a new video on Instagram of highlights of a swimsuit photoshoot she did. She wore a green bathing suit, showing off her body. Berelc captioned the post, “It’s still summer right?” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Paris Berelc 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 Works Out Her Legs

Berelc posts a lot of workout videos on Instagram. She revealed in this post that she doesn’t skip leg day. In it, she is seen doing different squats, like lunges. She captioned the post, “Who’s your workout buddy?” “Squatting is one of the best resistance workouts you can do. This exercise works almost all of the muscles in the lower body and is a great way to build leg strength. This is a must-have in your program if you decide to begin resistance training. While squatting, be sure to keep you feet flat and push up through your heels. Keep your back flat and your torso upright and look straight ahead,” says Duke.

2. She Hikes

Berelc loves to go hiking. She posted this reel on Instagram of herself hiking in Joshua Tree with her boyfriend. She captioned the post, “Took my baby to Joshua Tree to watch the meteor shower.” “Being in nature can boost your mood and improve mental health. Spending quality time in the great outdoors reduces stress, calms anxiety, and can lead to a lower risk of depression, according to a study done by researchers at Stanford University. In addition to having mental health benefits, being outdoors opens up your senses to your surroundings and improves your sensory perception. Taking in the sights, smells, and feelings of nature has so many health benefits it can even be prescribed by a doctor,” says the National Park Service.

3. She Strength Trains

Berelc does a lot of workouts at New York City’s Phantom. One type of workout she likes to do there is strength training. In this reel, she is seen using a weighted ball and battle ropes. Berelc is seen using the ball to do crunches and is throwing it on the ground.

4. She Does Gymnastics

Berelc is a gymnast, and she still makes time to practice gymnastics in her daily life. She posts a lot of tumbling videos on Instagram. Berelc posted this video of herself flipping in the gym. She captioned the post, “How many of you can do a flip?”

5. She Works Out Her Abs

Berelc makes sure to workout her abs and her core. One type of workout that she does a lot of is crunches. She posted this video on Instagram of herself doing different crunches and leg drops. Regarding your core: “No matter where motion starts, it ripples upward and downward to adjoining links of the chain. Thus, weak or inflexible core muscles can impair how well your arms and legs function. And that saps power from many of the moves you make. Properly building up your core cranks up the power. A strong core also enhances balance and stability. Thus, it can help prevent falls and injuries during sports or other activities. In fact, a strong, flexible core underpins almost everything you do,” says Harvard Health.

Sydney Sweeney is showing off her rock hard abs during a workout. In a new social media post the Madam Web star flaunts her fantastically taut tummy in a yellow Athleta set, snapping a selfie at the gym. “Things I’m loving this month,” she wrote. How does the gorgeous young star approach health and fitness? Here is everything you need to know about her exercise routine.


1. She Water Skis

Sydney has been water skiing since the “moment I could walk,” 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.” What makes it such a great workout? “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.

2. She Hydrates

Sweeney understands the importance of hydration. She confessed to the Hollywood Reporter that she’s never even tried coffee and doesn’t drink alcohol. “If I’m celebrating, or it’s a very rare occasion, I’ll have a Shirley Temple,” she said.

3. She Does Martial Arts

Sydney is an experienced MMA fighter. “I’m trained in mixed martial arts,” she told Marie Claire. “I started when I was 14 and did my first competition at 18. It was a grappling competition against all guys a weight category above me, and I got first place. Those guys were probably saying, ‘Oh, we didn’t want to hurt her,’ but they were definitely trying. Everyone broke a sweat!”

4. She Reads Books

Sydney indulges in me-time. “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 compared with people who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

5. She Takes solidcore Workout Classes

1. She Does Mixed Martial Arts

In a video clip she shared, Sydney can be seen boxing and kickboxing like a pro. In addition to fighting with her trainer, he has her incorporating punches into workout moves, including crunches. “I’m trained in mixed martial arts,” the actress previously told Marie Claire. “I started when I was 14 and did my first competition at 18. It was a grappling competition against all guys a weight category above me, and I got first place. Those guys were probably saying, ‘Oh, we didn’t want to hurt her,’ but they were definitely trying. Everyone broke a sweat!”

2. She Skis

When she isn’t kicking butt in the MMA arena, Sydney is water and snow skiing. In a recent Instagram “yearly ski post” she showed off her skills. “Hope one day i can do this everyday,” she wrote. “Getting 150 minutes of cardiovascular exercises each week is important, according to the American College of Sports Medicine,” says the Mayo Clinic. “There are many options to explore when it comes to cardio workouts. Consider what you can do in the comfort of your own home, outdoors or in the gym. Swimming, cross-country skiing, stair-climbing and jumping rope are examples of exercises that will increase your cardiovascular rate.”

3. She Hikes, Walks, and Runs

Another one of Sydney’s favorite outdoor activities is hiking. She has shared several photos of herself getting her walk on, oftentimes with her canine companion. “If you need me I’ll be climbing some rocks,” she captioned an image. “I try to take my dog on a walk twice a day. We’ll do a 2-mile walk in the morning and again at night if I can. If I’m feeling really motivated, I’ll run,” she told Bustle.

4. She Avoids Two Trendy Workouts

“I've tried to get into yoga, but my mind just races too much so I can't get there yet,” she admitted to Yahoo. She added to Bustle that she has never hopped on a Peloton. “When you lift weights, your muscles get stronger and bigger. When you do yoga, your brain cells develop new connections, and changes occur in brain struc­ture as well as function, resulting in improved cog­nitive skills, such as learning and memory. Yoga strengthens parts of the brain that play a key role in memory, attention, awareness, thought, and language. Think of it as weightlifting for the brain,” says Harvard Health.

5. She Hydrates

Sydney focuses on hydration, and has one go-to drink. “I have never even tried coffee. I only drink water — for whatever reason, when I was like, 12, I decided I would only drink water and I just stuck with it. I love water, it’s my thing,” she told Bustle. “The National Academy of Medicine suggests an adequate intake of daily fluids of about 13 cups and 9 cups for healthy men and women, respectively, with 1 cup equaling 8 ounces. Higher amounts may be needed for those who are physically active or exposed to very warm climates,” says Harvard Health.

6. She Does Workout Videos

Sydney also does workouts in the comfort of her own home. “If I have an hour, I’ll do a workout video at home, like a DOGPOUND one. Sometimes it’s hard if I’m missing equipment, but it’s doable,” she told Bustle.

7. She Eats a Little Sugar

Sydney isn’t afraid of a little sugar, revealing to Bustle that for breakfast she is “really into” croissant toast that she eats with cinnamon sugar and honey butter. Other favorite sweet treats? “I'll have some Swedish Fish or anything gummy if I'm tired. I’ve had a Shirley Temple to celebrate,” she added.

Rebeca Andrade is an Olympic gymnast. She is the most decorated Olympic athlete from Brazil, having won two gold medals, three silvers, and a bronze. Andrade recently shared some highlights of her native Brazil on Instagram. In some of them, she posed in a swimsuit while wading. Andrade captioned the post, “SC-&-RS🏕️🌅❤️ Being free is a paradox. It's committing to the life you want, without running away from the work that it entails. It's building freedom every day, with conscious choices and, mainly, with the acceptance that freedom is not the absence of limits, but the autonomy to know which ones are worth it and which ones are not. Being free is being willing to carry the weight of your own life and still find it funny.”

She Swims

In her Instagram post, Andrade is seen swimming. The Cleveland Clinic says that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Swimming takes much less of a toll on your body than, say, running or riding a bike. That’s because exercising in water lessens the impact of your body weight on your joints.”

She Does Gymnastics

Gymnastics is the main way Andrade stays in shape. British Gymnastics states that the sport has a lot of benefits. “When you take part in gymnastics, or any sport for that matter, your body releases chemicals called endorphins. These also help to trigger a positive feeling in the body which can have a positive impact on your happiness and mental wellbeing. This can help to combat feelings of anxiety and depression.”

She Prioritizes Safety

Andrade talked about her training approach in an interview with the Olympics website. She says that she and her coach prioritize her safety, and that she will skip floor sessions if she isn’t able to do it. "I talk a lot with my coach and we trust in each other. We always try to be really safe, and do floor in the correct moments. He believes in me. I'm never going to lie to not do it. So, when I really tell him that I can't do it, it's because I cannot and he always respects that.”

She Sets Goals

In her Olympics website interview, Andrade talked about her commitment and goal setting. Specifically, she talked about her goal to make the Olympic team. “The other [goal], which is the main one, is for us to qualify as a team,” Andrade said. “I think it will be very important for me, for my team, and the focus is on that, whatever happens there, the result is a consequence of our work, of our commitment. But I really want to be there with my team and be happy and healthy.”

She Cooks

Andrade makes sure to eat healthy. She also likes to cook a lot of her own meals. She shared some of her favorite things to make in an interview with NPR. “There was one that was with potatoes and cheese, chicken. There’s cake. There’s cookies. A lot of things.”

Brandi Glanville has never been one to hold back, whether on reality TV or her unfiltered podcast. Best known for her time on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the US and UK versions of Celebrity Big Brother, and The Traitors, Glanville always speaks her mind. Her podcast, Brandi Glanville Unfiltered, recently stirred up some drama when she called out Real Housewives stars for struggling on The Traitors and suggested the show stop casting them. Many fans saw this as subtle shade toward Phaedra Parks, who excelled in the previous season.

Beyond the headlines, Glanville has shared glimpses into her personal wellness routine, from skincare secrets to unconventional self-care methods. Here’s a look at how she stays feeling and looking her best.

She Uses Eye Patches

One thing that Glanville does to take care of her skin is use under-eye patches. In this Instagram post, she revealed the brand she used on Celebrity Big Brother. Glanville captioned it, “One of the #1 questions we get from fans since leaving #bigbrother is what brand of under eye patches were we wearing constantly on the show...The answer is @peterthomasrothofficial!! They are amaze! #ThanksMarissa 💋 (Blogging about all the products, will be posting on @bbeautyunfltrd soon).”

She Walks

Glanville likes to walk her dogs to keep herself in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself and her pup walking in Los Angeles. Glanville captioned the post, “On our way to do some podcasting.” Harvard Health says that walking is very beneficial. “Walking can help protect you during cold and flu season. A study of over 1,000 men and women found that those who walked at least 20 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week, had 43% fewer sick days than those who exercised once a week or less. And if they did get sick, it was for a shorter duration, and their symptoms were milder.”

She Has A Dog

As you can see from the previous Instagram post, Glanville has pet dogs. And according to Harvard Health, this can be beneficial. “A growing body of solid research shows that owning a dog can: provide companionship, help you be more active, make kids calmer, more secure, and more responsible, improve the lives of older individuals, help you be calmer, more mindful, and more present in your life, make you more social and less isolated, ease stress.”

She Worked With A Breath Coach

Glanville revealed to Us Weekly that she works with a breath coach to help with her mental health. “I’m still doing cosmetic stuff, but at the same time trying to fix myself. I eat better and breathe and actually exercise. I’m getting there. I just started with this journey, but I can actually do things. My body can do things now that I couldn’t do five years ago.”

She Uses CellSound

Glanville revealed to People that she used the CellSound treatment on her stomach. "I mean, to be honest, I haven't worn a crop top in years, and I literally feel comfortable going out in a crop top, which is so bizarre," she says. "Not that I feel like everyone should do that, but I can go work out with a crop top on and not feel like I have my mommy stomach and I shouldn't sit down. So it's definitely empowered me in that aspect."

While on Shadowhunters, McNamara did a lot of HIIT. "In order to do the fight scenes, I needed a lot of upper body strength because I would be holding weapons all day," she says to Women’s Health. "High intensity interval training turned out to be the perfect thing for me. I was able to keep up my cardio stamina and build upon that so I could do the fight scenes, which are basically just sprints."

She Consistent

McNamara tells Women’s Health that she makes sure to stay consistent with her workouts. “There were days when I was tired. There were days when the last thing I wanted to do was pick up a weight...but I just had to physically get myself there—to take a deep breath and remember why I was doing it and why I was there. I think that can go for any kind of physical goal that someone has—half the battle is the mental battle.”
