1. She’s Charitable

Ghouri is very charitable and supports different causes. Specifically, she talks about the hearing impaired community. After appearing on Love Island, Ghouri wanted to capitalize on her new platform and following. She opened up about this to The Limping Chicken. “I think for me, even before Love Island, I was raising money for charities and I was constantly talking about my own [Instagram] page, Talks With Tasha,” she says. “For me, I’m quite passionate. I think coming out of Love Island, I haven’t felt that pressure in terms of having to speak out about it.”

2. She Doesn’t Pressure Herself

Ghouri tells The Limping Chicken that she does what she wants to do. She says that she is not giving into societal pressure. “I’m doing what feels right,” she says. “I’m not trying to put that pressure on me to be like, ‘I have to do this, I have to do that’. I haven’t felt that pressure at all.”

3. She Doesn’t Take Things Personally

Ghouri unfortunately has had to deal with hurtful comments. However, she tells The Limping Chicken that she tries to not take them personally. “It was hard seeing those comments,” she admits. “But then comments like that gives me that fire, gives me that spike. It gives me that motivation to make sure our community is getting the recognition [and] it gives me that energy to push it more now. So in a way I do thank the people that leave the negative comments, because it’s given me that fire now to keep pushing on and pushing for the community that I’m in. So that’s the way I look at it.”

4. She’s Confident

Ghouri has a lot of confidence. She tells Metro that she has built herself up over the years. “A lot of people think I was always confident because of the way I am now,” she says. “But it was something I really worked on throughout the years. Confidence works on working on yourself – finding your self-love.”

5. She’s Motivated

Ghouri works with trainer Joshua Kempton to keep herself in shape. Kempton opened up about what she did to get in shape for Love Island in an interview with Women’s Health. He says that Ghouri has a lot of motivation to stay in shape. “She’s got strong mobility and a disciplined mindset to progress with training,” Kempton says. “She struggled with it, but she was eager to learn, and she always adhered to my tips.”

Reality star and TV presenter Georgia Toffolo is spending time in Kenya right now. And she’s got some amazing vacation fashion choices. Toffolo posted a new photo on Instagram of herself in an all red outfit, which complimented her pale skin and blonde hair perfectly. She wore a red swimsuit and a sheer skirt cover up. Toffolo captioned the post, “I’m always overdressed but who cares, I felt a million dollars (new motto).” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Georgia Toffolo 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 Starts Her Day Off Healthily

Toffolo broke down her daily routine in an interview with Getthegloss.com. She revealed that her mornings start pretty healthily, as she eats a healthy breakfast and likes to get moving right after. “I’m not big on tea or coffee, I’m a boiled eggs and soldiers’ type of breakfast girl, with a big slathering of marmite,” Toffolo says. “I then get grooving to the park and take my little crazy spaniel Monty for a big, long walk. It sets me up for the day in such a positive way.”

2. She Goes To Spin Classes

Toffolo tells Getthegloss.com that she is a big fan of going to spin classes like Soul Cycle at her local gym. She says that she likes to go to these classes with one of her friends, and that she likes to go only on the weekends, because of how intense they are. “I go to Soul Cycle spinning with my friend Mikey Pearce, he owns a super cool vegan food company called Clean Kitchen. We’re VERY competitive at the classes so normally I’m exhausted afterwards. I stroll home through the park and then I’ll be found cuddled up on the sofa with a good book until further notice.”

3. She Speaks Out About Her Struggles

Toffolo has struggled with her acne and her skin all her life, and has been attacked for it on social media. She tells Glamour that she decided to open up about her struggles so people knew what she was going through and could relate to her. “I started to speak about my acne struggles on social media and in interviews and people responded really well to it. Celebrities are often perceived as these perfect beings but I didn’t feel like that and the more I shouted from the rooftops about my bad skin, the more people realized I’m just a normal girl with normal insecurities. I’ve actually found it very liberating. Besides, if anyone’s mean to me online, I remind myself that it says a lot more about them than it does about me.”

4. She’s Comfortable With Herself

While Toffolo has had her insecurities, she tells Glamour that she is starting to find acceptance in herself. "While my journey with my skin is still very much ongoing, and I’m yet to reach any conclusions, my perspective has changed. I’ve realized you don’t gain validation from other people just because you have perfect skin or hair, it comes from the inside and I feel brighter and happier since I made peace with, and begun to accept, my spots. I still wear makeup but I’m no longer hiding behind pot after pot of foundation or endless filters on Instagram. If only I could have told myself to accept my skin 10 years ago."

5. She Doesn’t Hide Behind Makeup

Toffolo appeared on, and won, the popular British reality series, I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here, in 2017. She told Hello! Magazine that the experience helped her make a lot of personal strides, specifically in not feeling the need to wear makeup all the time. “There’s lots of insecurities that I’ve dealt with after this jungle thing, like my skin, particularly. I’ve suffered for years with acne and apparently there was a real hoo-ha that I was allowed to take in makeup. Well, I’m not ashamed to say that, yes, I did wear foundation in there. I’m terribly self-conscious about my skin. I’ve been in tears about it many a time – my friends know how much I suffer. I have hidden behind thick, camouflage foundation for years. I found a strength within me that I didn’t even know I had. I’ve really surprised myself.”

How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Ghouri 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 Embraces Her Beauty

Ghouri makes a point of practicing self-confidence. “Even in the [Love Island] villa, I was still eating a good balanced diet, I was still having chocolate and sweets,” she says. “Honestly, [since] walking out, nothing's changed [with] how I feel about my body. I still feel confident in myself. I wouldn't say I felt pressured at all, but it's that thought of having that summer body. But you know what, it's not a big deal. Own your body, own what you've got. Show it off because that's what makes you beautiful.”

2. Optimizing Sleep

According to Ghouri’s personal trainer Joshua Kempton, the star focuses on getting enough sleep and handling stress in a healthy manner. "Tasha and I focused on optimizing sleep, managing stress, and listening to her body,” Kempton tells The Sun. “She’d do breathwork or read before sleep, and we always made sure to allocate long enough rest periods within each set of exercises.”

3. Protein and Carbs

According to Kempton, Ghouri followed a high-protein diet with plenty of healthy carbs included. "Without them, she’d never have sustained and recovered the workout routine we set together," he says. Kempton also made a point of making sure no food was called a “cheat” food, instead focusing on moderation with occasional treats.

4. Realistic Goals

Ghouri is determined to be the best version of herself possible instead of comparing herself with others. “Tasha’s goals were to get stronger and be the best version of herself both physically and mentally,” Kempton tells Women’s Health. “She’s got strong mobility and a disciplined mindset to progress with training. According to Kempton, Ghouri found the nutrition element challenging. “She struggled with it, but she was eager to learn, and she always adhered to my tips.”

5. She’s a Huge Foodie

Ghouri considers herself a huge foodie, and especially loves Italian food. “The fat sources in the Mediterranean diet include olive oil, nuts, and fatty fish, which are rich in monounsaturated fatty acids and polyunsaturated fatty acids (omega-3 fatty acids),” says Sanchari Sinha Dutta, PhD. “These healthy fats help reduce the level of total cholesterol, low-density lipoproteins, triglycerides, as well as preventing systemic inflammation.”

2. She Doesn’t Have A Set Routine

In the same Instagram post, Banks revealed what she likes to do to stay healthy. She says that she doesn’t have any routine in particular, and that she does different things when she wants different results. “Just a little focus, tweak to my eating habits, & added way more walking.

Frazer opened up about life after her divorce in an interview with Yahoo Lifestyle. She says that she is now living life on her own terms. “Now I’m on OnlyFans, I’m single, I’m on the cover of Maxim - it’s the complete opposite. I think it’s the path that I was meant to be on and I’m where I’m meant to be. Every day I wake up and I'm just so happy with my life.”

2. She’s Taking Care Of Her Mental Health

Creed III Sydney PremiereMark Metcalfe/Getty Images

Frazer tells Yahoo Lifestyle that she has started taking care of her mental health. “I still feel like there's a little bit of fine-tuning to do with my mental health, but it's the best it's been since I want to say even before MAFS started filming,” she remarks. “I'm just excited to wake up every day, which I haven’t felt for two years. Obviously the filming process was hard and then what we went through during filming was awful. And then Jackson and I, it was the wrong relationship. So being in a relationship that's not working as well as all this other stuff just really took a toll. So I think getting out of all of it, I made a very conscious choice a few months ago to just stop talking about all the drama and all the bad stuff... Unless I’m asked a direct question, I just don’t interact with it or take the bait or anything like that, and it's just serving me really well.”

3. She Got Surgery

Frazer notably lost a lot of weight in recent years. She revealed on Instagram that she decided to get weight-loss surgery as a way to do so. “Surgery [is] the last thing anybody ever wants to do. It is the last resort. It’s not fun not being able to eat like everybody else, it’s not fun to not be able to drink like everybody else.”

4. She Defends Herself

Frazer has had to defend herself due to being seen as a reality TV villain. She recently clapped back when a photo of her was taken without her consent. “I was spotted applying for a casual job at a makeup store. Absolutely disgusting because a photo was taken of me in my job interview that I did not know was being taken. It’s a huge disgusting invasion of privacy.”

5. She Swims

Frazer spends a lot of time outside. One thing she likes to do to stay in shape is going swimming. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself by the water. Frazer posted this set of photos of herself in Bali. In the first photo, she is seen taking a dip in a pool. She captioned the post, “Bali. And I might like the color green.” Frazer also shared this pool photo, captioning it, “More relaxing times.”

Rayna Vallandingham is flashing her washboard abs – in a two-piece exercise set from Alo. In a new social media post the actress flaunts her impressive midsection during a workout at the gym. “dojang diaries,” she captioned the series of snaps. “Magnific! Very very beautiful,” commented one of her followers. “♥️More like diaries of a hottie♥️” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her top lifestyle tips.

Be Consistent

Consistency – at the gym and the martial arts studio – is the key to success. "It is a way of life," Rayna says. "It's not only teaching your body movements and being in synchronicity with your body, but also just like the mental aspect of it."

Fight Your Way to a Hot Body

Rayna is a big fan of martial arts. She has been doing taekwondo since she was 2, earning her first black belt at 6. "In the very beginning, my parents put me in the sport because I was just really shy, and I think they could tell that I needed something," says Vallandingham, who lives and trains in Los Angeles. "Immediately, I just loved it. I felt at home, and every single day, instead of watching Dora, I wanted to go to the dojo,” she told Well + Good. Studies confirm that the practice helps with balance, cognitive function, psychological health, weight loss, and physical fitness.

Work on Strength and Flexibility

Rayna recommends prioritizing strength, flexibility, and power. "Of the three, I think strength and flexibility are the top two," Vallandingham says. "We used to have people stand on my legs and force my knees to come down in butterfly stretch," she says. "I have permanent damage to my body—I have tendonitis [because of this]."

Lift Weights

If you want a strong, lean body like Vallandingham, you must lift for it. The star strength trains, focusing on supersets, doing two moves back-to-back that target the same muscle groups to double down on their gains. One of her favorite exercises is a goblet squat. She stands with her feet shoulder-width apart, folded forward until she can slide her palms underneath her soles (you could also hold your ankles or calves), then bends her knees, lowering her butt toward the floor while lifting her chest, coming into a deep squat. She'll bend and extend her legs several times in this position. Then, it's on to the main event, holding a weight in her hands while bending down into a deep squat. "I love utilizing a Bosu ball—they're pretty much in every single gym," she adds.

Stretch

Rayna never skips stretching. She starts by by lying on the floor with her legs up the wall and then allowing them to open out into a side split. "I let gravity do its work because that's my body telling me, okay, this is where we're at," she says. "My hips are opening on their own, and I'm not having to force anything." “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints,” says Harvard Health. “Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”

Charli Hawkins is training in the snow – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the Olympian shows off her fantastic figure – including her flat abs – in an exercise set while enjoying the winter weather. “TRAINING IN A WINTER WONDERLAND! ❄️🥶❤️✨Gearing up in this altitude for the LONDON MARATHON this April! I’m so excited to see what my mind and body can make happen! To my marathon runners: it’s your time to shine, PLEASE tell me ALL of your tips, all of your advice, and for all of you who understand what I’m about to attempt, please send your words of encouragement 😂 Also feel free to try to talk me out of this as well thanks👍 We are on the training countdown. Turning a sprinter, jumper, and thrower into a long distance runner 🫣🙌 What do you think my time will be?” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Minfulness and Meditation

Charli practices mindfulness. Before going for a run, she says words of intention. “I am willing. I am grateful. I surrender,” she revealed during an interview with San Diego Magazine. Meditation:

“When you meditate, you may clear away the information overload that builds up every day and contributes to your stress,” says the Mayo Clinic. Benefits include:

  • Gaining a new perspective on stressful situations
  • Building skills to manage your stress
  • Increasing self-awareness
  • Focusing on the present
  • Reducing negative emotions
  • Increasing imagination and creativity
  • Increasing patience and tolerance
  • Lowering resting heart rate
  • Lowering resting blood pressure
  • Improving sleep quality

Stretching

She also makes sure to stretch. “If you ever can think of some dynamic stretches: F.A.S.T. ✨🙌 My left hip and right QLs have been SO tight lately so I’m on a journey of getting them right! What’s bugging you at the moment???” she captioned a post. “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints,” says Harvard Health. “Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”

Here Is The Right Way To Run

During her interview with San Diego, Charli explained how you should be running. “Remember, the sole of the foot is showing right in front of us,” she said, doing a type of high-knee movement. “To do this, you’re over exaggerating your running form while standing still. Raise your knee up, point your toes to the clouds (forming an A), and then pedal the sole of your foot forward before striking your knee down. It’s more complicated than it sounds after 30-plus years of moving a certain way,” the writer explained.

Positive Attitude

In a recent post Charli revealed things she learned about positivity. “Patience is easier when it isn’t required,” she said. “The people around you are BLESSINGS (which I feel like I already understood but sometimes it’s nice to have it emphasized).” Also, “We are up, we are down, but trusting the process sometimes means knowing that it’s all good even when it’s not the best” and “Making a plan is the best option for everything. It’s ok if the plan doesn’t go perfect, but just willy-nilly-ing it is not the best option when you want to get things done.”

Never Giving Up

Charli refuses to give up. “Understand what you want first, and then go for it. Then keep going for it all the time, and, eventually, you’ll get it,” she said during her interview.

Giulia Arena first made waves when she won the 2013 Miss Italia pageant. Since then, she’s become a successful actress, TV host, and model. Arena recently took a trip to the Maldives. She shared a set of photos on Instagram of herself at the beach. In them, Arena is seen in a white swimsuit. She captioned the post, “Native habitat.”

Biking

Giulia enjoys cycling. During her trip to the Maldives Giulia went bike riding. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.

Reading

Giulia is also a fan of books. In the Maldives, she took some time to relax and read. 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 than those who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

Snorkeling

Giulia snorkels, recently discovering the “Sea Lung,” she revealed in a post. “It reaches 60cm long with a weight of almost 10kg, and represents the largest medusa of the Mediterranean. I don’t know why, but I have always experienced the charm of Jellyfish: creatures that are essentially simple and yet capable of surviving entire geological epochs floating, light and slow, between the currents. She, remains one of the most beautiful sights of this summer.” Surprisingly, putting on a snorkel and fins and swimming through the water is a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.

Coffee

Giulia is a coffee drinker. She especially likes shots of espresso. According to the Cleveland Clinic, drinking coffee in moderation has several benefits. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

Yoga

Giulia is a yogi. Here she is doing yoga. There are many reasons to do yoga, according to Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”
