Taylor Hill in Workout Gear Pushes Sled With "My Shadow," Her Dog

Taylor Hill is an extremely successful model. She’s best known for her work as a Victoria’s Secret Angel. Hill recently hit the gym for a sweat session, and she had a special friend with her. In a new post to her Instagram story, Hill is seen pushing a sled while her dog follows. She captioned the photo, “My shadow.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Taylor Hill stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

Hill broke down her daily schedule and life secrets in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar. In it, she talked about what she does to stay in shape. Hill loves to do a variety of things to stay fit. "I do mainly light weight-lifting and squats when I'm in the gym. My favourite place is Dogpound in NYC. But I also do some yoga, pilates and crossfit. It's important to switch things up so that your body doesn't get too used to anything."

2. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Hill has amazing skin. She broke down her skincare routine to Harper’s Bazaar. "I'm not usually a morning person, and I'm usually the happiest in the afternoons. So to make myself feel awake, I splash cold water on my face when I get up. After washing my face with a cleanser, I use the Energie de Vie toner and follow with the Milky Lotion in the morning. At night, I'll use the sleeping mask from the range instead.”

3. She Works With A Trainer

Hill, like many others, works with a personal trainer. She tells Byrdie that she has a unique reason for doing so. "I have to use a trainer because I cheat in classes," she admits. "I'm a natural-born cheater. I cheat on everything—I cheated on tests (don't tell my teachers), I cheat workouts, I eat whatever I want! So I just needed someone to watch me and make sure I'm doing it correctly. When I have an hour, I want to give everything I have to that hour, like, really work out.”

4. She’s Confident With Herself

Hill is all about being confident in herself and with her body. She tells Byrdie that working with Victoria’s Secret helped her develop this attitude. “It's kind of given me a new light: You're beautiful no matter what you look like, no matter what body type you have. I always envied curvy women because I wasn't that. The grass is always greener, and you'll always have to deal with that. But being a model has helped me embrace my body type. It's hard on some girls, but it actually helped me a lot."

5. She Targets Her Muscles

When it comes to working out, Hill tells Byrdie that she and her trainer aim to target her muscles. "We do a lot of slow, muscle-targeting movements with gliding discs and two-pound weights. Almost kind of floor Pilates in a way because we get on the floor, and she puts resistance bands around my ankles and things like that. It's so hard—it doesn't sound hard, and it doesn't look hard, but I could back squat, like, 85 pounds, and I quiver when I do this. I'm like, Oh my God, I can't stand up anymore because I'm so sore! It's amazing."

Olympic snowboarding champion Lindsey Jacobellis is sharing one of the strength-building workouts that make her such a force to be reckoned with. Jacobellis, 38, posted a video if herself using weights and a row machine at the gym. “This combo gets and keeps your heart rate up during the whole circuit 1️⃣1 minute on the row machine 2️⃣Kettlebell swings 3️⃣Hamstring Lift(slight bend in knees),” she captioned the post. Here’s how Jacobellis stays fit, happy, and strong.

1. Four Eggs For Breakfast

Jacobellis fuels her workouts and training with a big, protein-and-fat-packed breakfast. “If it is a day that I will be in the gym then I have a big breakfast,” she told Women Fitness. “I have four eggs with mushrooms and onions on a rice cracker and lots of hot sauce….and coffee is a must. On an aerobic day I can eat lighter in the am, so it might just have avocado toast or granola.”

2. SPF and Haircare

Jacobellis spends a lot of time outside, so a good SPF is a must. “I have been fortunate to have Paul Mitchell as my longest running sponsor and they have educated me on my hair care routine and always have new products to help keep my hair hydrated and strong as I face all the elements throughout the year,” she told Women Fitness. “My favorite Paul Mitchell product for my hair is the Forever Blonde line. For my face… a lot of sunscreen.”

3. Running With Her Pup

Jacobellis works out with her Yorkshire Terrier Gidget whenever possible. “I love walking on the beach with Gidget,” she told Whistle. “And skateboarding, she loves running next to me when I skate and she can even pull me! [My summer routine is] wake up, make some coffee and walk Gidget, do some sort of cardio (run, surf, swim and depending on the distance I might take Gidget) go to the gym, do work in the afternoon, walk Gidget, and prep dinner.”

4. Justified Pride

Jacobellis’ X-Games success means the most to her. “My most treasured accomplishments are my 10 X-Games Gold Medals,” she told Whistle. “Those courses were the biggest and scariest courses and that was an amazing feeling to win. I have also been so excited that I have been able to keep competing for so many years on tour.”

5. Training On the Road

Jacobellis has figured out how to keep her training going even in tricky spots. “On the road workouts can be challenging when gyms are hard to find but not impossible,” she told Women Fitness. “1. Walking lunges with dumbbells 2. Single leg RDL (Russian deadlifts) 3. Hanging leg raises 4.Traditional or wide leg back squats 5. Bent over single arm rows (these exercises can be done when there are limited weights to work with in a hotel gym).”

Kendra Wilkinson is known for being a model and reality star. She appeared in Playboy and on the TV shows The Girls Next Door, Kendra, and Kendra On Top. Wilkinson shared a set of life updates on Instagram recently. In them, she posed in workout gear, hiked with her new dog, and golfed. She captioned the post, “Little photo dump from these past two weeks.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Kendra Wilkinson stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Works With A Trainer

Wilkinson makes sure to stay in shape. One way she does so is by working with a trainer. Her trainer, Ashley Conrad, talked about working with Wilkinson to People. "She hadn't been working out very much because she had a slight injury, so the goal was to really just to get her moving again, get some weight off, and have her feeling better. [And] she wanted to look hot on her birthday!"

2. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

Wilkinson does a variety of workouts to stay fit. Conrad shared some of them in her People interview. "A normal day would start with a series of calisthenic warm-up exercises ranging from jumping jacks, to butt kicks, to high knees," Conrad says. "Then we'd go into a few different stretches. The majority of the stuff [utilized] body weight, like pushups, jumping jacks, lunges, sprints, planks, plank with a row."

3. She Hikes

In her Instagram post, Wilkinson is seen going for a hike with her dog. The Washington Trails Association states that hiking has a lot of benefits. “For many people, the idea of burning calories is one of the first things that comes to mind when they think about working out. Our bodies use stored energy (calories) to support normal body functions and to fuel us during physical activity. While any type of physical movement will result in the body using its stored energy, the unique nature of hiking can result in greater calorie burn than other forms of exercise. In fact, research from the University of Florida concluded that walking on uneven terrain, like that of hiking trails, causes the body to use 28 percent more energy than walking on flat, even ground due to the subtle shifts in the way your leg muscles must lengthen or shorten while hiking.”

4. She Golfs

Wilkinson is also seen golfing in her Instagram post. According to Randa, golf has a lot of health benefits. “Golf can help strength and balance, improve quality of life and provide aerobic exercise. On a regular 18-hole course, most players will walk between four and five miles, burning up to 2,000 calories.”

5. She Has A Dog

Wilkinson recently adopted a dog, and she features her pooch on Instagram. In her recent post, Wilkinson is seen hiking with her dog. Harvard Health states that dogs have a lot of health benefits. “Ongoing research is showing that the health benefits of owning a dog are undeniable. Dog owners have lower blood pressure and healthier cholesterol levels, and a lower risk of heart disease, than non-owners. There are also many psychological benefits to having a pooch around. Dog owners are less prone to bouts of loneliness, anxiety, and depression. Simply petting your dog can make you feel less stressed.”

Mikaela Shiffrin, one of the world’s top alpine skiers, continues to stay active and adventurous even off the slopes. With a record-breaking three Olympic medals and the highest World Cup wins, Shiffrin’s commitment to fitness is clear. Recently, she shared glimpses of her hiking routine on Instagram, capturing her journey through nature with the thought-provoking caption, “Plot twist…what if the journey IS the destination?” Her workout routine reveals a dedication to building strength and endurance, keeping her primed for skiing’s physical demands.

1. She Hikes

As you can see from her Instagram post, Shiffrin likes to hike to keep herself in shape. Harvard Health states that hiking has a lot of benefits. “Walking is great exercise, but sometimes you need a break from your usual neighborhood loop or the monotony of the basement treadmill. Head out for a hike instead. It's similar to walking but can give you a fitness boost along with a dose of novelty and adventure. And not only is hiking great exercise, it doesn't require much equipment. Navigating a winding, wooded trail can help your body build endurance, strength, and coordination, says Dr. Edward Phillips, assistant professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation at Harvard Medical School.”

2. She Skis

Skiing is one of the main things that Shiffrin does to keep herself in shape. Skiing has a lot of health benefits. 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 hey strengthen your bones as they tone your muscles. Cardiovascular or aerobic exercises also work to reduce your risk for ongoing (chronic) diseases. They lower your blood pressure. And they help you maintain a healthy body weight. Through regular aerobic exercise like skiing and snowboarding, you lower your risk of developing conditions like diabetes and heart disease, having a stroke, and perhaps even getting cancer.”

3. She Does RDLs

Shiffrin shared some of her favorite workouts in this Instagram video. One exercise she is seen doing is RDLs with a barbell. Shiffrin captioned the post, “Spilled a bit of my sandwich on my nearly-white leggings in the car and then went and rolled around in the gym for a bit. Feelin’ wonderful and productive! 🤣🙃😜” ACE Fitness states that RDLs have a lot of benefits. “The most important benefit of the RDL is that it teaches the proper movement and biomechanics of standing hip flexion and extension. This is the foundational movement for squatting, whether the movement is performed with a weight in the gym or while bending over to pick an object up from the floor.”

4. She Strength Trains

Shiffrin does a lot of strength training. In the previous Instagram video, she is seen doing RDLs and lifting a weight with her legs. Strength training is very beneficial. The Mayo Clinic states, “Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age.”

5. She Uses A Treadmill

Shiffrin shared another workout video in this Instagram video. One thing she is seen doing is walking and running on a treadmill. Healthy Talbot states that this has a lot of benefits. “Treadmills provide outstanding cardiovascular exercises, which can significantly enhance your heart health. Thanks to their ability to maintain constant heart rates throughout the exercise. If you’ve high cholesterol or cardiovascular issues, this can be very beneficial. They can help to diagnose cardiac issues like heart disease and artery blockages. Under normal circumstances, your body may not exhibit symptoms of these heart conditions. However, when put under pressure through a workout, those symptoms will be displayed.”

MMA fighter Aspen Ladd is ready to rumble—you can tell by counting the abs on her stomach. Ladd, 29, shared a picture of herself posing in red yoga pants and a purple shirt, showing off impressive abdominal muscles in preparation for her fight. “You can usually tell how close to a fight I am , based on how many abs I have 😂 the current answer is, ‘very close’,” she captioned the post. Here’s how Ladd stays strong, fit, focused, and ready for the ring.

1. Hiking With the Pups

Ladd loves to hike with her pups (and doesn’t mind doing some heavy lifting in the process). “We all need a little help sometimes 🙂 this is on today’s 11.5 mile hike. Kaia needs help to cross fast moving water like this ( she will be 14 this summer). It's a privilege to still have old girl as my adventure buddy and enjoying her wild self ❤️,” she captioned an Instagram post.

2. 5 Mile Runs In the Mountains

Ladd goes running in the Sierra Nevada Mountains with her dogs. “5 miles of running and a whole bunch of playing is good for the soul …especially on Thursday before evening training. Because Thursdays are ROUGH usually. Balance ⚖️,” she captioned an Instagram post.

3. Scrubbing Down the Mats

Ladd likes to cool down after training by cleaning the mat herself. “Rate our mat scrubbing skills,” she captioned a funny video. “This gym is a funk free zone 🙅‍♀️ it’s luck of the draw who scrubs them down after each practice ( usually the last ones in the gym) ….but I never mind and it’s a nice cool down after some real good sparring rounds tonight.”

4. Respect For Nature

Ladd is aware the mountains can be dangerous, always has her two German Shepherd dogs with her for protection when she’s hiking. “A beautiful 8 mile loop near my home. It’s always crazy to me when I see people out solo hiking or running. No dogs no other people, headphones in …just livin on hope 😂,” she captioned an Instagram post. “For example, just tonight in 8 miles my dogs alerted that there was some kind of predator near by on 5 separate occasions. Could be anything from a coyote to a bear 🐻 I never know until I find prints of scat . 2 weeks ago it was a cougar. How do I know it’s a predatory animal, you may ask? Easy , my dogs spend so much time out in the mountains with me that I know based on their different reactions.”

5. Recovery Workouts

Ladd switches up her training when to deal with injuries while still staying active. I tweaked my back pretty good at the end of last week, and it’s not quite up to chucking humans around yet 🤼‍♀️,” she captioned a video. “So my coach gave me a less body wrecking assignment to do tonight, and give the back one more day to recover.
