American tennis champion Sloane Stephens had a beautiful summer with partner Jozy Altidore, and shared pictures on her social media of their magical vacation. Stephens, 30, posted snaps of herself wearing a bright two-piece swimsuit sun while soaking up the sun on a luxury yacht. Other pictures showed her and soccer star Altidore posing against a gorgeous ocean sunset. “Sloane you are having too much fun!!!” a fan commented. Stephens has won seven WTA Tour singles titles—so how does she do it? Here are 5 ways she lives the lifestyle of a true champion.


1. Lots of Strength Work

Stephens does a lot more cardio during training season, and focuses more on strength training during down time. "When you're younger, there is a lot of pressure to always be grinding, always be training—the whole 'I'm working while you're sleeping' sort of mentality," she says. "I've adapted my training over the years to be incredibly efficient and effective so my body has time to rest… The strength work is all focused on dynamic movement and incorporates a lot of bodyweight [moves] and resistance bands.”

2. Protein and Carbs

Stephens enjoys a diet packed with protein, complex carbs, and lots of vegetables. "I'm all about balance and eating intuitively," she says. "I also won't deprive myself of an occasional bubble tea or Frappuccino. A lot of it comes down to convenience and what is readily available nearby since I don't have a lot of time to cook."

3. Sticking To a Routine

Stephens follows a routine no matter where she is or what she’s doing. "Listening to your body is one of the most important things you can do — being an athlete or not,” she says. “Being an athlete, it's crucial that I’m in tune with what my body is telling me and what it needs. It’s definitely tough to accept being hurt or needing a break, but it’s SO necessary… To the best of my ability, I try to keep my routine pretty consistent in every location and this helps me acclimate quicker to new timezones, temperatures, altitudes, etc. Some things are, of course, out of my control, but I try to stay grounded in my routines and daily habits to make the transitions as comfortable as possible."

4. Proper Hydration

New,York,,Ny,Usa,-,September,5,,2017:,Sloane,StephensShutterstock

Stephens makes sure to stay on top of her water intake. "Hydration! It’s the key to everything in life - skin, recovery, and overall health," she says. "It’s so simple but makes the biggest difference in my daily life. With so many variables and changes each week in a different city, different plane, different hotel room - I know I can rely on myself to consistently hydrate and help my body function at its best."

5. No Quick Fix

Stephens says consistency is key to success. “I know this isn’t a secret quick fix (sorry!), but there really is no substitute for consistency. Find something you like to do and increase the time every day… I worked out on Zoom every day with the kids I serve in Compton through the Sloane Stephens Foundation and we got really creative with using regular household items like chairs and books for challenging workouts. My diet is also very important, especially while spending so much time at home this past year. Quantum Energy Squares provide me with the balanced protein, carbs, and fats I need to be my best. I keep a few of the Coconut Almond Chocolate Chip bars in my training bag so I’m always prepared and properly fueled.”

"It took about a year after stem cell for the inflammation and lesions to really go down." She certainly looked more at peace this weekend. “A week of health and healing in a golden place,” she captioned a photo from Golden Door, a spa/retreat.

3. Vanessa Hudgens Lounged Poolside

Carmen,Electra,Arrives,At,The,2019,Hollywood,Beauty,Awards,AtShutterstock

Carmen Electra posted a video of herself dancing to “Coming in Hot.” “I don’t go to the gym every day,” she once told the Cut. “Usually when I’m on break, I’ve already danced a lot so I’m okay for a while. Sometimes I work out at my house. I’ll do some lunges, something simple like that. Otherwise I’ll go to the gym. I’ve only had one trainer in my life, and I realized that because of my dance background, I already have discipline and I don’t need to be pushed. I think I’ve saved a lot of money too. As a dancer, I’ve never put strict rules on my workout habits and sometimes I just want to go to the gym and do something light.”

5. Rita Ora Went Seaside

“Happy weekend. I’ll be seaside,” Rita Ora captioned an Instagram post. "For me, every day I wake up feeling like, 'OK, what do I want to conquer today?' and that helps me get dressed," Ora said to TZR.

Saweetie went “off the grid,” posting snapshots from the beach. The trip came shortly after her big McDonalds collab. "I'm super excited. It's like the best feeling ever.

"I think McDonald's just saw that I genuinely love the meal. I'm always remixing their meals on my live. I only really go live when I eat. So, the fact that I'm here right now with these beautiful packages and cartons of Saweetie Meal behind me is like a dream come true. So, just a match made in heaven."

1. She Loves Salads and Greens

Stephens broke down her typical diet and favorite foods with Well + Good. She says that she loves to eat salads and eats a lot of vegetables. “The main thing is that I try to eat a lot of roughage. When I was a kid, I didn't like salads, but as I've gotten older, I try to have something green with every meal.” Veggies, like salad greens, have a lot of benefits. Elisabeth Moore, a registered dietitian at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, tells Harvard Health, “Most salad greens contain essential dietary nutrients, such as vitamins, minerals, and even water. "They also provide fiber, which is beneficial in many areas, including cardiovascular and gastrointestinal health. Greens are also low in calories, but high in nutrients and volume, which can be helpful if you're trying to manage your weight.”

2. She Loves Salmon

Stephens tells Well + Good that she loves to eat fish. She revealed that her typical lunch is a salmon with a salad. "I cook my salmon with lots of lemon juice and add plenty of avocado [to the salad]," she says. "I probably eat that for lunch three to four times a week. Living in Florida, I'm lucky to be able to get fresh fish really easily."

3. She Works Out On The Road

Fit,African,American,Woman,Running,On,Treadmill,At,GymShutterstock

Stephens works out on a regular basis, even when she is traveling. She shared her on the road workout tips with Ebony Magazine. “Working out is my job, so it's not always as fun as just going to the gym and following that with the sauna. I would love that. But, on the road, anything to keep my body moving is good—running on the treadmill or going for a light 30-minute run. I even find things I can do in my hotel room like ab routines, lunges and squats. Things you really don't have to put a lot of thought into but get the blood flowing."

4. She Wears Sunscreen

Being a professional tennis player, Stephens spends a lot of time outside. She tells Ebony Magazine that she always makes sure to wear sunscreen for this reason. “I definitely wear sunscreen all the time. I'm just mortified about getting sunburn or even wind burn. I've made it my life's work to make sure I'm always wearing it. Taking care of my skin is very important to me.”

5. She Works Out First Thing In The Morning

Stephens starts her workouts first thing in the morning. She detailed her workout routine in an interview with Shape. “Five days a week, I do a two-hour workout before tennis practice. I start with an hour of movement–ladder, agility, plyometrics–and then do an hour of strength training. Afterward, I play tennis for two hours. From the time I get up, I'm working out and sweating profusely. And I smell!”

1. She Had a Hip Replacement

“I love sports, I love being active, I love challenging myself,” Spencer told ABC. “I was a jock growing up from the time I could walk.” So she was shattered when told she needed a hip replacement. “It was so upsetting,” Spencer said. “I waited for a long time before I did anything about it or told anyone because it sounds like it’s an old person’s problem and I just couldn't believe it.” "It was embarrassing to share and then I realized there is nothing to be embarrassed about," she said. "I have a genetic predisposition for this but if you're athletic and you move, it's happening younger and younger." After the surgery, she said she’s “feeling great.”

I make sure to eat lots of kale, broccoli, blueberries, strawberries and spinach. We do enough stories on superfoods on GMA. I know what I should be eating, and I really try to stick with that,” she told Parade once.

4. She’s a Fan of These Activities

“I turn to yoga, preferably in a warm room, during the cold months. I do yoga year round but find myself craving it more in the fall and winter. I am really into paddle boarding at the moment, too. It’s an incredible workout for the arms and core, and a great way to get out on the water,” she told Parade.

5. She Loves Tennis

“Last but certainly not least, I play tennis year round. I am on a USTA team and just got bumped up to a 4.0 rating so I am really excited. As a former athlete, I love the competition. I play both singles and doubles and would play every day if I could! I wish I had known about tennis as a kid. Unlike platform diving, it’s a sport I can play for the rest of my life,” she told Parade.

Sophie Piper is embracing island life – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the Love Island beauty shows off her fantastic figure in a swimsuit during a tropical vacation at Kandima Maldives with Josh Ritchie. “Island life,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps taken at the picturesque resort. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

She Doesn't Go Under the Knife

Sophie claims she hasn’t gone under the knife. “It’s your own body, you can do what you want to,” she told Grazia, weighing in on the show’s reputation for girls getting work done. “I wouldn’t have surgery myself; I don’t want it. I’ve got such a low pain tolerance as well; I’d be squirming around.”

She Gets Her Steps In

Stand Up Paddle Boarding

Sophie loves paddle boarding. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and cardio. Water sports can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140-pound male and 436 calories for a female of the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.

She Skis

When Sophie hits the mountains, she throws on a pair of skis. “Ski club,” she captioned a photo. Research has linked downhill skiing to several health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, the prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress, and the occurrence of memory deficits decline.

She Loves Group Fitness

She Goes Snorkeling

On her recent Maldives vacation, Sophie and Josh snorkeled in the crystal clear water. 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.

Tammy Hembrow is a fitness influencer and expert. She has her own app, called Tammy Fit. Hembrow has a lot of challenges on her app. Recently, she advertised a challenge with a workout video on Instagram. Hembrow captioned the post, “We are 3 days into our first @tammyfitapp challenge of the year & I am more motivated than everrrrr. (Sign ups are still open if you haven’t joined yet - there’s still time to catch up!! - link in bio). Soooo happy seeing so many of my girlies (and guys) in this challenge doing it with me!! And I CANNOT wait to see everyone’s results at the end of the 8 weeks. We got thissss 💪🏼”

She Does Pulldowns

Hembrow is seen doing pulldowns in her Instagram video. Piedmont reports that pulldowns have a lot of benefits. “The lat pulldown is a fantastic exercise for strengthening the latissimus dorsi muscle, the broadest muscle in your back. This muscle promotes good posture and spinal stability. Form is crucial when performing a lat pulldown to prevent injury and reap the best results.”

She Lifts Weights

Hembrow is seen doing a lot of exercises with weights in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness states that using weights to workout has a lot of benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

She Tracks Her Meals

Hembrow likes to track her meals on her app. She talked about the benefits of this in the caption of this “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. “Make sure to take advantage of the calorie/macro tracking features in the @tammyfitapp during this challenge guys. It can be really helpful in reaching specific goals quicker. And it also can help educate you on your food choices when it comes to nutrition, ratios, hidden calories, overeating or under eating etc. honestly I’d recommend any beginner try it out just to get a good feel for how you’re fuelling your body!! I feel like when people think of ‘meal tracking’ it can be seen as something that seems restrictive or something only bodybuilders do. When in reality it can be such a helpful tool and you can learn things that will actually encourage long term habits 🫶🏼🫶🏼”

She Loves Bananas

Hembrow is seen enjoying bananas in her “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. The Cleveland Clinic states that bananas have a lot of benefits. “A single medium-sized banana offers about 32 mg of the mineral magnesium, which fulfills around 8% to 10% of your daily magnesium requirement. Magnesium is involved in many processes in your body, including: Blood pressure. Blood sugar levels. Building proteins. Maintaining bone. Muscle function. Nerve function.”

She Loves Cottage Cheese

Tammy Hebrew's snack the contains banana and cottage cheese.

Hembrow is seen enjoying her bananas with cottage cheese in the previous Instagram video. Cottage cheese is very healthy. UCLA Health reports, “Cottage cheese’s protein content and low calories make it an ideal food for weight management. Research shows that whether you are trying to lose weight or reduce your risk of overweight or obesity, eating a high-protein diet can help you feel full and satisfied for longer.”

It’s hard to believe that Jennifer Aniston is 55 and turning 56 in February! Since soaring to fame in 1994, the Friends star has hardly aged in the three decades that have passed – and she has never been secretive about her devotion to health and wellness. Her hard work over the years has paid off through her strong and lean body and ageless looks. Here is everything you need to know about Jennifer Aniston’s approach to longevity.

She Maintains a High Protein Diet

"My nutrition is very much the same. It's usually a lot of high protein, vegetables, salads, soups,” she tells People. “I do 80/20. I give myself days where I can have whatever I want. I don’t deprive myself,” she added to TODAY. Why should you consider amping up your protein intake? According to clinical trials, consuming more protein than the recommended dietary allowance not only reduces body weight (BW) but also enhances body composition by decreasing fat mass while preserving fat-free mass (FFM) in both low-calorie and standard-calorie diets.

She Cheats on Occasion

Jennifer allows herself to indulge in “everything I would possibly want on a weekend,” she told People. Her cheat meal “depends,” she says. “I mean, dare I sound repetitive, but Mexican food is a real favorite of mine. It's not even that much of a cheat, to be honest. Or a cheeseburger or pizza or pasta — all that stuff.”

“My bigger challenge is sleep. I think that’s all part of our nutritional hygiene — the amount of water we get as well as the amount of sleep we get. It’s the combination of all of those things that make your workouts the most effective," she told TODAY.

“I’ve become gentler with myself,” she says of her approach to fitness, which has “definitely evolved” over the years. “I find that I can be gentler on my body and still get the benefits of a great workout,” she told Prevention. She specifically loves P.Volve workouts, a functional fitness that helps you “function throughout the day” and “work out your essential muscle groups to keep your body strong,” she says. “So you can live a long, healthy, strong life.”

Aniston prioritizes hydration, drinking a whopping 100 ounces of water per day. "But occasionally I just have to have a Diet Coke—there's nothing like it!" According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

She Does Pilates, Spinning, Elliptical, and Running Workouts

“I had an injury last fall and I was only able to do Pilates, which I absolutely love. But I was missing that kind of sweat when you just go for it,” she recently told InStyle. “I'm going back to my 15-15-15, which is a 15-minute spin, elliptical, run. And then just old school: I can chase myself around a gym. I need some kind of movement, even if it's just 10 minutes a day on a trampoline.”
