Teyana Taylor is sweating through her workout. In a new social media post the actress shows off her insane body – including her impressive six-pack – during a rigorous workout. “Loading…” she captioned the post. Her celebrity pals went wild over it. “Inspired,” commented Gabrielle Union, while Jamie Chung added a “💪🏽” emoji and Busta Rhymes with “👑👑👑👑👑👑👑👑” emojis. How does Taylor, mother-of-two, maintain her enviable figure? Celebwell has the details on her workout and all of her other health habits.

1. Dancing

“Dance is the greatest workout. Dance is very underrated in the fitness world. Dance is my workout,” Teyana told TMZ. “The only real workout I do is dancing and performing,” she added to Us. “I was touring right up until after I was six months pregnant and I was in really good shape, so after she came I just went right back down, almost immediately. That’s the way I do it — I love to dance.”

2. Twinkies and No Vegetables

As for her diet, Teyana doesn’t restrict herself. “I eat everything by the way. I eat Twinkies and all types of s—t,” she exclaimed to TMZ. “I don’t even eat vegetables!” she added to Us.

3. She Has Her Own Workout Method

Teyana created her own exercise method. “On my own, I have a dance fitness program called fade2fit.com, so that’s the only workout I do,” she says of the online video workouts. “You can watch it and take it home, it’s all good.”

4. Meditation

Taylor relies on the power of zen. "I'm heavy on meditating," she told Shape. "I've done it throughout my pregnancies and postbirth. It gets me prepared for the day ahead. Even meditating once or twice a week makes a difference. My 5-year-old daughter says, 'Hey, mom, are we meditating today?'"

5. Self-Care

Teyana’s nightly showers are her go-to self-care routine. "I bring all my self-care beauty products into the shower knowing that it's the tiny bit of alone time that I'll get," Taylor told Shape. "I wash my hair and skin, apply a homemade body scrub, and even brush my teeth while listening to soothing music, like Erykah Badu or Sade. I take my time because I know that as soon as I step out, it's back to mommy time."

6. Stationary Lunges

In the video Taylor does a stationary, single leg lunge – but weighted in almost every way. She holds two dumbbells, wears ankle weights, and uses a band around her thighs, providing resistance and working out her entire lower body, arms, and even midsection. “This is an excellent exercise for glute (booty growth) especially if you are trying to focus less on quads and more on glutes,” says Kendra Gamble, HIT Fitness Training, Huntingdon Valley, PA, NPTI Certified Personal Trainer and Nutritional Consultant. “I would recommend doing them off of a step or some type of elevated surface to give your glute more of a stretch.”

Valentina Lequeux is squatting in the new year – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the influencer shows off her amazing figure during an intense workout session. “Squat Day,” she captioned the post, going on to reveal her workout routine. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

She Hit Bottom

Lequeux hit a bottom when a relationship of five years ended. “I became very depressed and wasn’t eating properly. This was the lowest point I found my weight—I was 113 pounds at a height of 5’8″, so you can imagine how malnourished I was,” she said in another interview with Muscle & Fitness.

Exercising 5 Days A Week

Valentina works out regularly. “It’s not easy,” she told Muscle & Fitness. “I’m in the gym five days a week. I want to show the world what it takes to make a change and have an impact on my Instagram.”

Workout Buddy

She ended up meeting her future husband and coach, Luis. “He is my coach and nutritionist, and he also knows how to push my buttons, in the wrong way and the right way,” Lequeux says. “The gym is where he is no longer my husband and just my coach. He breaks me in there every time and has no remorse for me. This is what my type of character needed, someone to push me around in the gym and test my limits.”

She Does Core HIIT Workouts

She recently shared a hardcore “Core HIIT” workout. “If you want VISIBLE abs, remember this: it doesn’t matter how many reps or sets you do…If you are eating in surplus and high in body fat your abs won’t show! Shredded abs formula: moderate caloric deficit.” She offered more details: “Set a 15-20 min timer and perform in AMRAP style. Do as many reps as possible of all 4 exercises one after the other. Leave 1 minute of recovery at the end of each round until completing the 15-29 minutes,” she says.

1. Leg rise + abduction

2.In and out crunch + half circle X15

3.High knees 20 sec (nonstop)

4.Banded bicycles X15

5.3 air squats + 3 abductions AMRAP 30 sec

Here Is Her Full-Body Workout

Here is her latest full body workout:

1.Back squat 1 rep max: work up to a 1 rep max, I did X5 85#, X5 135#, X5 165#, X1 + 1 assisted 185#, 2 failed attempts at 190#

2.Back squat back of set: AMRAP, I did 10 reps @ 135#

3.Chest supported DB row 4X12

4.Suitcase squat 3X10

Valentina Lequeux, a fitness coach known for her inspiring workout routines on Instagram, recently shared a comprehensive leg day workout that focuses on building lower body strength. In her post, she mentioned that this particular session was heavy on squats, with fewer accessory moves than usual due to her being on her time of the month, making the workout more challenging. "COMPLETE LEG DAY— ✌🏼LIKE + SHARE. This was a big squat workout, so I didn’t do as much accessory work as usual. I’m also on my TOTM (time of the month) so I’ve been feeling pretty awful to do a hardcore workout," she captioned the post. Here’s a breakdown of Valentina’s key exercises and the benefits they offer for building strength and maintaining overall fitness.

1. She Walks On A Treadmill

In her Instagram video, Lequeux walks on the treadmill to warm up. Walking has a lot of health benefits. The Mayo Clinic states, “Regular brisk walking can help you: Maintain a healthy weight and lose body fat. Prevent or manage various conditions, including heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, cancer and type 2 diabetes. Improve cardiovascular fitness. Strengthen your bones and muscles.”

2. She Uses Weights

In her Instagram video, Lequeux is seen using weights to workout. ACE Fitness reports that using weights has a lot of benefits. “Using heavy weights increases intramuscular coordination, the number of type II motor units and the amount of muscle fibers engaged within a specific muscle. Have you ever felt your muscles shaking while lifting heavy weights? This is because you are recruiting and activating the larger type II muscle fibers, which are only stimulated to work when a muscle is challenged with heavy resistance or working to fatigue.”

3. She Does Squats

Lequeux is seen doing a lot of squats in her Instagram video. Squats are a great exercise to do. Allina Health stated their benefits in an article. “The squat is one of the all-around best exercises to do for your lower body. It strengthens and tones muscles in your thighs, butt and calves and improves posture, balance, flexibility and inner core strength. Squatting also improves bone mineral density to keep your bones strong.”

4. She Does Hamstring Exercises

Valentina Lequeux.2Valentina Lequeux/Instagram

Lequeux likes to do hamstring exercises. In her Instagram video, she is seen doing hamstring curls. ACE Physical Therapy & Sports Medicine Institute states that having strong hamstrings is very important. “Strengthening hamstring muscles is critical for many reasons. If the strength is not adequate to handle all of the stresses associated with everyday life, they will be injured. When they are strong enough to handle ‘life,’ they can prevent injuries to the low back, hips and entire lower extremity.”

5. She Works Her Upper Body

Lequeux shared some of her favorite upper body exercises in this Instagram video. She also shared her tips for building a strong upper body in the caption. “To form an hourglass figure you want your shoulders to be broader than your waist and your glutes to be symmetrical with your shoulders. You want to focus on building your upper & lower muscles. And building takes time so don’t worry you’re not going to become the hulk overnight.”

Tiana Musarra is an influencer and fitness expert. She recently released a guide to working out your glutes. A few weeks ago, Musarra advertised it in an Instagram post. In it, she posed in gray workout clothes. Musarra captioned the post, “WERE LIVE! 🏋🏽♀️ my glute guide is here! whether you workout at home or the gym this is effective for both! LINK IN BIO!”

She Works With A Trainer

Musarra has an Instagram story highlight dedicated to her workouts. One thing she does to keep herself in shape is work with a personal trainer. According to ACE Fitness, using a personal trainer can have a lot of benefits. “Most of us work harder in the presence of others. Having a trainer by your side can provide the encouragement, energy and motivation you need to jumpstart your routine. A trainer can also help you set goals, create a plan to accomplish them and celebrate the day you reach them. Do you find it difficult to stick with a program or habit? A trainer can hold you accountable and help you overcome all the excuses you might use to avoid your commitment to exercise. It’s a lot harder to skip the gym when you know someone is waiting for you.”

She Does Squats

Musarra does a lot of squats to keep herself in shape. In her Instagram story highlight, she has a lot of videos of herself doing variations of the exercise. Allina Health states that squats have a lot of benefits, “The squat is one of the all-around best exercises to do for your lower body. It strengthens and tones muscles in your thighs, butt and calves and improves posture, balance, flexibility and inner core strength. Squatting also improves bone mineral density to keep your bones strong.”

She Strength Trains

Musarra shares a lot of videos of herself working out with weights in her Instagram story highlight. ACE Fitness states that using weights has a lot of benefits. “Using heavy weights increases intramuscular coordination, the number of type II motor units and the amount of muscle fibers engaged within a specific muscle. Have you ever felt your muscles shaking while lifting heavy weights? This is because you are recruiting and activating the larger type II muscle fibers, which are only stimulated to work when a muscle is challenged with heavy resistance or working to fatigue.”

She Loves Sweet Potatoes

In her Instagram story highlight, Musarra is seen enjoying sweet potatoes. According to Reid Health, sweet potatoes are extremely healthy. “Dietary fiber is another beneficial nutrient found in sweet potatoes. A 1/2 cup portion of cooked sweet potato with skin contains just over three grams of fiber according to the USDA. A high fiber intake reduces your risk for type 2 diabetes, colon cancer, heart disease, high cholesterol and high blood glucose — and may help improve mood and memory according to a review published in the journal Metabolism. Adults and children need 14 grams of fiber for every 1000 calories they consume suggests a review published in Nutrition Reviews.”

She Loves Asparagus

In the previous Instagram story, Musarra is also seen enjoying asparagus. The Cleveland Clinic says that it has a lot of benefits. “Asparagus is rich in fiber, but it may go one step further in promoting gut health. In a nonhuman clinical trial, eating cooked asparagus appeared to reduce colon inflammation in instances of colitis (inflammation of the colon). Researchers identified a flavonoid called rutin as contributing to this effect. More studies are needed to see if the same effects can be true in humans.”

Tiana Musarra is a model, influencer, and YouTuber. She shares a lot of stunning photos on Instagram. Musarra is celebrating the Paris Olympics. A few weeks ago, she shared some photos on her page of herself modeling the Olympic 2024 collection from Fashion Nova. Musarra posed on the beach and carried a volleyball. She captioned the post, “Me for FN Olympic 2024 collection.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Tiana Musarra stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Does Squats

Musarra shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. In this post, she is seen doing a lower body workout. One thing Musarra is seen doing is squats with a barbell and a weight. She captioned the post, “First day back in 2 weeks. I wanted to share a few exercises we did. went light with it and low impact. Foots goin right into the ice bath now. Road to recovery let’s goooo.”

2. She Uses Weights

Tiana Musarra.4Tiana Musarra/Instagram

Musarra likes to use weights to stay in shape. In the previous Instagram post, she is seen using different weights. Reid Health states that using weights has a lot of mental health benefits. “Strength training not only benefits the body, it also improves mental well-being by reducing stress and anxiety. Strength training helps your brain release naturally occurring ‘feel-good’ chemicals called endorphins improving your mood and decreasing anxiety. In addition strength training can also help increase your confidence and self-esteem which in turn can increase your quality of life.”

3. She Does Hip Thrusts

Tiana Musarra.3Tiana Musarra/Instagram

In the previous Instagram post, Musarra is seen doing hip thrusts with a barbell. Gymless reports that this exercise has a lot of benefits. “Hip thrusts are a controlled and powerful movement, mainly focusing on the glutes, hamstrings, lower back, and core. This exercise is vital for developing a stronger posterior chain, contributing to improved athletic performance, alleviating lower back pain, and enhancing overall physique. Considering that about 65 million Americans experience some form of back pain, hip thrusts are a great exercise to include in your routine.”

4. She Works With A Coach

Musarra likes to work with a fitness coach to help her stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing a session on Instagram. Musarra captioned the post, “First week training with coach @afit_training 💪 working on form, mobility and growth. I always like to push myself to be better. Thank you coach Abe for helping me learn sm already! Full video will be up on my YouTube next week!”

5. She Uses A Stairclimber

In the previous Instagram video, the first thing Musarra is seen doing is using a stair climber. Pinnacle Fitness states that stair climbers are very effective. “Exercising on a stair climber can burn more calories at slower speeds than almost all other forms of exercise. A workout on a stair climber is engaging all the major muscle groups in the glutes, thighs and hamstrings which need a lot of energy to perform. They strengthen the core because you need to keep upright as you perform the exercise. Using stair climbers regularly can cut your risk of death from heart disease. A study showed that when 12 sedentary women were asked to climb a 200-step staircase, progressing from once a day to six times a day, over 2 months they reduced their cholesterol levels and increased their fitness and so cut their risk of heart disease by 33%.”

On Instagram, Hewitt revealed the secret behind her impressive eyebrows. "I have been using this product and I'm noticing people bringing up my brows. I don't have anything on them today really, except this product, but it's the Rare Beauty lifting gel stuff. I mean, Selena, 'thank you' is all I can say.

For Hewitt, fitness is all about variety. “I try to switch it up a bit,” she told OK! Magazine. “I’ve found that if every week I do something different it tricks my muscles into not getting used to doing any one thing. I’ve been doing pilates, I’ve been doing yoga, I’ve done just plain old walking. I wear 10 pound weights on my ankles while I’m working just so that as I’m moving during the day I’m constantly building muscle. It’s not great for your back but I’m doing it anyway. I do a booty workout thing that I just did for Shape, which was really fun. And I do Zumba. I have DVDs and I dance around like a crazy person in my house.”

She Builds Confidence

Hewitt tells People that she wants to build her confidence up. “I think I’m a work in progress,” she admits. “[But] I feel it’s so much better than [it was] a year-and-a-half ago, and I feel like in another eight months, it’s going to be so much better than it is today.”

She Wants to be a Role Model

Love what you look like right now – and remember I said it 10 years from now because it’s the greatest gift I can give.’”

Over the past few years, Sydney Sweeney has become one of America’s sweethearts with celebrated roles in everything from hit HBO shows Euphoria and White Lotus to big-screen movies Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Anyone But You. In addition to her impressive acting ability, the star is a total bombshell and has one of the fittest figures in Hollywood. Here are the top 5 habits that help her stay fit at 27.

Water Skiing

Sydney has been water skiing since she was a toddler. “The moment I could walk, my mom put me on what’s called a U-board to learn how to ski,” 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.” How does it help her achieve her amazing body? “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.

Morning Workouts

Sydney mixes up her exercise routine, but likes to get workouts over with early in the day. “I like to work out in the morning, so I’ll either go for a run or I’ll go to Solidcore,” says Sydney. The high-intensity, low-impact Pilates-inspired workout “makes me feel so strong, but also elongated,” Sydney said about her sweat sessions. “I feel so good afterwards.”

Self-Care

Sydney engages in self-care activities. “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 than those who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

She Walks and Hikes

One of the ways she treats her anxiety is by spending time outdoors with her dog, Tank. She takes him on walks or hikes. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Mariana Morais is showing off her ab-fab figure – in a two-piece exercise set. In a new social media post, the fitness influencer flaunts her fantastic figure in a brown sports bra and leggings. “Self Progress & Development is not always linear. Sometimes we take steps back & that’s just a sign to course correct so we can leap forward. If 2024 wasn’t the year you expected, use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, & carry on. It’s you VS you - continue to try, focus on consistency > perfection & you will prevail 🤎 rooting for us all to strengthen our mind & bodies this year,” 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.

Strength Training

Mariana relies on old-school strength training to keep her body toned. “Training till failure instead of reps + taking my ab routine up a notch by incorporating weighted exercises,” she wrote about one of her workout tactics. “I can feel my muscles being challenged and am in tune with my movements.” According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

  • Develop strong bones
  • Manage your weight
  • Enhance your quality of life
  • Manage chronic conditions
  • Sharpen your thinking skills

Prioritizing Digestion and Getting Blood Work Done

Other healthy habits? “Prioritizing digestion,” she writes in the same post. “Making sure I get enough fiber & starting off every morning with a juice cleanse. This has helped me feel so much better everyday.” She also gets regular blood work done. “So important to check your levels and know what’s going on in your body routinely! Don’t skip the doc apts, always better to be preventative.”

Hiking

Mariana enjoys hiking. “Elevation therapy,” she captioned a post from one of her fitness adventures. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health
  • Decreasing the risk of some respiratory issues

Mariana does reformer Pilates. “POV: Stepping into the prettiest torture chamber,” she wrote across a video of herself at the studio. Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Emsculpt NEO

Mariana recently got an aesthetic body treatment, Emsculpt NEO. “I’ve heard all the rage about the benefits to spot reducing fat & toning muscle so I had to give it a try to target those pesky lower abs. It was a 10/10 & a great addition to my workout routine,” she wrote.
