Kaya Scodelario has been acting since she was young. She’s appeared in Skins, Pirates of The Caribbean, Spinning Out, and The Gentleman. Scodelario revealed on Instagram last year that she’s learning golf. She captioned the video, “Took my first Golf lesson today for filming purposes and I’m sorry but THIS SPORT IS AMAZING. You get to hit something really hard, focus intently, be in nature & eavesdrop on granddad’s gossiping about all the grandchildren they hate AND there’s a bar at the end of it. Was prepared to be completely crap at it & hate every second but I honestly had such a fun time.”


1. She Wants To Support Women

Group,Of,People,Hands,TogetherShutterstock

Scodelario tells Flaunt that she wants the acting industry to support women. “I think we still have a long way to go and we always will. I watched Arrival last year and I thought it was so amazing how you know she’s clearly the lead and there’s no mention of it. It doesn’t need to be discussed that she happens to be a woman. It just is. I really want to work with more female directors because, of the 19 jobs that I’ve done, only two have been directed by women. I want to see more women in the writing room and the production offices. I want to see women everywhere in the industry.”

2. She Ice Skates

Scodelario trained in ice skating to appear in Spinning Out. She talked about this to InStyle. “Oh my god, I started from the very bottom. I was one of those people that get on the ice rink at Christmas, and holds onto the edge. Go around two times, and then get off. I don't think I'd ever been in the middle of an ice rink before. But I had an amazing coach here in London who worked with me. I trained for an hour every day for three weeks. When I got to Toronto, we would do five to six hours a day with Sarah Kawahara, who's this incredible skate coach and choreographer. She did I, Tonya and Blades of Glory. She's scary, but in a really good way. She really kicked my butt into gear.”

3. She Ignores What Others Think

Scodelario opened up about navigating fame to ELLE. She says that she has learned to not care what others think. “Being 14 years old and suddenly being super aware that the world kind of has an opinion on how you look is quite scary. I think when you're that age, you feel very self conscious anyway, but I was lucky in that it was kind of just before the era of social media. I learned very quickly that the best thing for me was to not Google myself or read comments or anything like that because I think it's hard enough being a teenage girl. Having that pressure on top of it is quite dangerous.”

4. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Scodelario makes skincare a priority. She shared her secrets with ELLE. “I did a Face Gym session before the BAFTAs which was amazing. I literally felt alive afterwards. I try to just get a good rest the night before and stay hydrated. Ten years ago, I wouldn't have said any of this. I would have rolled up out of McDonald's straight from a night out, but I learnt my lesson. I've been told off by everyone I've ever worked with for not taking care of my skin, and so I do. Just trying to feel as like confident in myself as possible, making sure I've had a good rest and I've watched something nice and easy the night before. I'm watching One Day, which is beautiful, but I know the ending is gonna make me cry.”

5. She Golfs

Scodelario is learning golf, and the sport has a lot of benefits. Randa states, “Golf can help prevent and treat 40 major chronic diseases. 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.”

Kathryn Newton, a versatile actress known for her roles in The Society, Freaky, and Big Little Lies, has also made waves as Cassie Lang in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Recently, Newton took to the golf course, showcasing her skills at the Alfred Dunhill Links Championship, with the official Instagram page posting a video of her in action. Beyond her acting talents, Newton is passionate about golf, which she turned to during the lockdowns as a way to stay active. She embraces a healthy lifestyle, balancing physical activity with proper nutrition, and proudly does some of her own stunts while on set. With a strong support system in her Marvel co-stars, Newton celebrates her successes while pushing herself to new heights.


1. She Golfs

As you can see from the Instagram post, Newton likes to play golf. She revealed to Harper’s Bazaar in 2020 that she turned to golf to manage the lockdowns. "The golf courses have finally opened up so I got to go out there - and you can play if you stay safe. I have some really cute new outfits from my new Polo Ralph Lauren collection, and it's just a good incentive - I finally get to go and show them off! It's a great way to get some exercise and just be outside."

2. She Eats Healthy

Newton makes sure to eat healthy. She talked about this in an interview with Only Natural Diamonds. “A good meal makes me feel powerful. I felt really powerful on set, being able to run around for 10 hours a day and then go work out after hurting myself or pushing myself too hard. So I love that I’m strong. I don’t diet; I’m not trying to look a certain way. But I love that I was able to use my body for this part.”

3. She Does Stunts

When playing Cassie Lang, Newton does some of her own stunts. She talked about this to Only Natural Diamonds. “I had to run through this tunnel. They were like, ‘Okay, so there’s going to be some sparks that are going to go off.’ And then we did it and it was genuine explosions, walls exploding, fire bombs. I was running so fast. They were like, ‘If we had told you what was going to happen, I don’t think you would’ve done it.’ I wouldn’t have. It was exhilarating. It’s no different than carrying my golf bag for 18 holes. I have the stamina to do it. And, I got to wear a super suit — it was purple, my favorite color. It made me feel invincible.”

4. She Celebrates Herself

Newton revealed to Only Natural Diamonds that she believes in celebrating herself. “I woke up at 4:00 AM today. I don’t know why. And then I saw the poster was released and I was like, wow, my dream has come true. You need to feel that, because I don’t think people celebrate themselves. I certainly don’t. I’m always onto the next. So I took a little second to celebrate that moment.”

5. She Has Support

Newton tells Only Natural Diamonds that she has a lot of supportive Marvel co-stars. “From the very beginning, I came to set very quiet,” she revealed. “I didn’t want to get fired. I didn’t want to be noticed because I was so excited to be there. I just didn’t want to mess up. I wanted everyone to be proud. And then all it took was Peyton Reed to say he believed in me and because he believed in me, I believed that I was Cassie. He showed me where to go and I just trusted him. Then Paul Rudd gave me the space to play and to take risks and laugh. It really took the pressure off and then I just didn’t hold back. I didn’t want to let this moment slip. There’s never going to be another first time to be Cassie. I keep telling Paul, ‘You guys have ruined my life. Nothing’s going to be better.’”

Mel Reid is celebrating on the green in her workout gear. The golf star recently shared a moment with fellow golfer Celine Boutier after she clinched a win against Lexi Thompson during the 2024 Solheim Cup. Dressed in white shorts and a star-spangled top, Reid, known as one of the fittest golfers in the world, stays in shape through a combination of challenging workouts and balanced priorities. From intense gym sessions to goat yoga, Reid has embraced a holistic approach to fitness and personal well-being. Here’s how she keeps her body and mind sharp while navigating her professional and personal life.


1. She Has a Trainer

Sporting white shorts and a white shorts-sleeved white and blue top with stars, Reid recently celebrated with Celine Boutier after she won her match against Lexi Thompson on the 18th green during the singles matches on the final day of the 2024 Solheim Cup at The Robert Trent. Reid is known for being one of the top players in women’s golf but also billed as “one of the fittest golfers in the world,” per Golf Magazine. One way Reid stays in such great shape is by working out with Ken Macdonald, who is a level 3 Golf Fitness Specialist and Certified Tennis Performance Specialist.

2. She Does Density Workouts

Mel ReidGolf Magazine

Reid shows off her impressive gym skills in a video for Golf Magazine. Her trainer, Macdonald, was also on hand to explain her intense workout regime. “It’s a 15-minute density set, which means we’re going to do five exercises in a circuit fashion.” Each exercise is done in about one minute.‘What we’re trying to do is get some strength and power but in an endurance fashion,” Macdonald said.

3. She Does Goat Yoga

Goat Yoga has become increasingly popular over the last few years, and Reid has tried out the hot fitness craze in a post captioned “In the presence of greatness. G.O.A.T.” Reid has a goat on her back and is in a yoga pose. According to Arizona Goat Yoga, the out-of-the-ordinary workout has several benefits, including stress release, increased mindfulness, mood enhancement, and a connection to nature and animals.

4. She Has a Strong Communtiy

Reid often travels for work with her wife and their baby, which is challenging, but she explained how they make it work in an interview with LPGA.“The people that have been very welcoming and open to staying with us have made a huge difference,” Mel said. “It gives us a little bit of a break at the end of the day because they want to just hang out with Kai, as well. He is starting to recognize faces. He sees Emily (Kristine Pedersen), and he sees Carlota (Ciganda), and he sees Olly (Brett), and he gravitates to them. I think that's a cool experience, not just for us but for them as well.”

5. Learning Balance and New Priorites

Reid shifted her focus to motherhood when their son was born, and golf is no longer the top priority. “Golf is secondary, if not third, now to be honest with you,” Mel explained in the LPGA interview. “I've always played golf for myself and tried to prove to myself that I can do this. The competitiveness inside of me, it's almost taken that away a little bit. I can have a bad day, and it sucks, but it doesn't suck anywhere near as much as it used to. I have to find that little fire in me again to see what my purpose is on the golf course. That's probably been the biggest challenge for me this year.”

Nelly Korda, a highly successful golf player, is currently enjoying a trip to Malaysia. She recently shared highlights of her trip on Instagram, where she can be seen on the golf course, at the beach, and relaxing with a coffee. Korda’s posts show her in various workout clothes, offering a glimpse into her lifestyle. Golf remains the primary way she stays in shape, but her approach to fitness goes beyond just the game. Korda focuses on perfecting her technique, grip strength, and impact during practice while incorporating different workouts, like squats and rowing, to stay fit off the course.


1. She Golfs

Golf is the main way Korda stays fit. Better Health states that the sport is very beneficial. “Walking an average course for a round of golf can be between five to seven kilometres. If you walk 18 holes three to five times a week, you’ll get an optimal amount of endurance exercise for your heart. If you pull your clubs or carry them, you’ll burn even more calories each round and benefit even more.”

2. She Focuses On Grip Strength

Korda shared some of the things that she works on when she practices with Golf Monthly. “The first thing you want to check is if you’re gripping it correctly, it makes a huge difference in your swing,” she said. “You could easily be too weak or too strong and it will affect where the face of the club is. So grip is important as well as stance and where your weight is. Once you get those fundamentals all down, it’s so much easier to work on consistency and easier to work on shooting lower numbers.”

3. She Focuses On Impact

Korda also told Golf Monthly that she also focuses on impact when she practices. “I am mainly just working on impact. On the putting green I do a drill because your eye-line and eyesight change every single day. You may see the ball and your line differently every single day, so doing a line drill is really important as you start your putting. Try it for five minutes to make sure you dial in your alignment. Once you do that, then you work on your distance.”

4. She Does Lunge Squats

Korda shared some of her favorite workouts in this Instagram video. One thing she is seen doing is lunge squats with kettlebells. Korda captioned the post, “2 weeks @ home to train. Let’s go!” Squats have a lot of benefits, according to Piedmont. “Squats are a compound, multi-joint movement, which means they exercise several muscle groups. When you perform a squat, you work your calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, core and part of your back.”

5. She Uses A Rowing Machine

Korda is also seen on a rowing machine in her Instagram video. The Cleveland Clinic states that this has a lot of health benefits. “Your abdominal muscles, lower back, obliques, glutes and hamstrings all get a workout during a session on a rowing machine. If you follow proper form, your core will be engaged during every single step of the rowing process. Strengthening those muscles is also key to maintaining stability and building speed.”

Mel Reid is playing golf – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the athlete shows off her amazing body in an exercise set while on the course. “Our ambassadors Mel Reid and Cameron Champ are ready for the action this weekend at the second annual @grantthorntoninv. Don’t miss the two players and their two tours come together for the most equal event in the game,” the Instagram post shared by Grant Thornton is captioned. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Mental Health

Mental,Health,Bulb,Word,Cloud,,Health,ConceptShutterstock

“Honestly, mental health is huge,” Mel told Golf. “It’s huge in all walks of life and I feel that athletes sometimes get a bad rap for speaking about it because we are seen as ‘superhuman.’ And I think there are some people out there who don’t know what we go through to be one of the best at what we do. I think social media has a lot to answer for also. Don’t get me wrong, I love me some Instagram and I really think there are some huge benefits from it, but I can certainly tell if I’m on it too much. I need to keep an eye on that,” she said. “Everyone should work on their mental health, though. It’s the foundation to everything. I’m really proud of the likes of Simone who is using her platform to speak about these issues that so many people can relate to. She has 100% of my support and I’ve been there and so I get it. And a side note: I’m also incredibly proud of the likes of Matt Wolf, too. It’s not an easy thing to do as people see it as a weakness. However I think the opposite: it’s strength beyond measure!!”

Snowboarding

When she isn’t golfing, you might find Mel on the mountains. “So I grew up basically playing every sport I could … skiing, tennis, hockey … but my main loves were snowboarding and football and still are when I’m not smacking a white ball around a field,” she told Golf. According to the University of Rochester, snowboarding, like skiing, is a great cardiovascular workout. “Because they are also weight-bearing exercises, they strengthen your bones as they tone your muscles,” they say. “Cardiovascular or aerobic exercises also work to reduce your risk for chronic diseases, and lower blood pressure. They also 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.”

Running and Cycling

Mel uses cardio, “a 20-minute run or bike,” to deal with jet lag, she told Golf. 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.

Surfing And Paddle Boarding

Mel moved to Jacksonville, Florida and started getting into water sports.”The beauty of living in Jacksonville is paddle boarding or my new hobby of surfing. Surf wasn’t the best this week, though,” she said in the interview. According to the Australian government’s Better Health, surfing provides many health benefits including cardiovascular fitness from paddling, shoulder and back strength, which also strengthens from the paddling, and leg and core strength. “Once you’re standing up on the board, strong legs and a strong core will keep you up,” they say.

Here Is Her Workout

Mel revealed her workout to Golf, a density workout with side lunges, seated stretches, and basic calisthenics.

Emily Elizabeth is heating up Hawaii – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the model and influencer shows off her amazing figure in a two-piece while on the beaches of the tropical paradise. “Hawaii >> 🌺🌈,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Simply Beautiful ❤️🏖❤,” commented one of her followers. “🔥😍perfect,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Hydration

Emily prioritizes hydration. Not only does she drink water, but also electrolyte enhanced fruit. “Fresh coconut,” she captioned a photo from Bora Bora. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

Coffee

Emily enjoys the perks of caffeine. Here she is drinking a cup of coffee. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. “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.

Snowboarding

While you can usually find Emily in the tropics, sometimes she heads over to the mountains for winter sports. In one of her photos she goes snowboarding. According to the University of Rochester, snowboarding, like skiing, is a great cardiovascular workout. “Because they are also weight-bearing exercises, they strengthen your bones as they tone your muscles,” they say. “Cardiovascular or aerobic exercises also work to reduce your risk for chronic diseases, and lower blood pressure. They also 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.”

Snorkeling

While on vacation Emily throws on a mask and fin and goes snorkeling. 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.

Walking

She also takes her dog for walks. Here she is strolling in Central Park with her pooch. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, 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 led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Emma McQuaid is prepping for her CrossFit competition – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the athlete flaunts her amazing figure in a two-piece exercise set while training. “8 weeks to my first Hyrox Sim 🏃♀️Looking forward to upping my run volume over the next 2 months to see how I can fair out before entering my first proper race later in the year. It’s no secret I don’t really enjoy running, I never have but I’m excited to see if I can turn that around this year,” she captioned the Instagram photos. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

She Is Consistent

If you want to improve your Olympics lifts, Emma suggests maintaining consistency. “Be consistent in your training, it’s vital you continually train all the lifts, not just the ones you like. I used to hate the full snatch and always power snatched everything. Recently though its become the opposite, I love full snatch and need to focus again on my power snatch. Always attack your weaknesses,” she told Boxrox.

Focus on Mobility

When it comes to improving gymnastic skills, Emma says to focus on mobility. “Sometimes is not just learning the skill, it’s having the mobility to be able to do it. I have struggled with handstand walks for over a year now and have practised more than people realise, but recently found out it’s my thoracic and shoulder mobility holding me back. So I have worked on my mobility and I’ve already seen improvements in my handstand walks. I’d also say people need to work the basics more, develop a strong foundation to build the high level movements on,” Emma told Boxrox.

Hydration

Drinking enough water and getting rest is an important component of health. “Eat healthy, drink plenty of water and sleep well is a good recipe for success,” she told Coach Web. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

Meal Prep

While Emma doesn’t meal prep, she has her food prepared for her. “All my food is supplied from a local company called Fuel Farm. I usually eat 4-5 times a day. Just depends what my training volume is like that day, I also live on Battle Oats bars between sessions, a great snack that keeps me going and doesn’t fill me up,” she says.

Balanced Diet

Emma maintains a balanced diet. “I personally think a lot of athletes in CrossFit under eat. Avoiding carbs or limiting them isn’t a good idea when you train at high intensity. I eat some junk everyday because I find it helps my performance, a 6 pack isn’t going to help me win so it doesn’t bother me, fuelling my body and maintaining the intensity in training is what will help me win. I’ve focused on timing my intake of sugar and it’s only made me better,” she told Boxrox.

Krissy Cela in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "8 Weeks of Lifting"
Getty images

Krissy Cela is a fitness trainer on the Evolve You app and influencer. Recently, she has been documenting her process of losing pregnancy weight on Instagram. In a recent post, Cela revealed that she had been consistently weight training. She captioned it, “8 weeks of lifting, not depriving, recovering and sticking to an actual PLAN! Not doing random workouts. All my programs are on the @evolveyou app. I'm currently on the strong program and absolutely loving it! But there are home workouts too. Use code KRISSY for money off! (own brand).”

She Strength Trains

Cela strength trains to keep herself in shape. ACE Fitness says that this 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’s Consistent

Cela revealed in the caption of her Instagram post that she made sure to be consistent with her wellness. “So yeah… just keep lifting some heavy iron, don’t really listen to people who tell you not to unless you have an injury of some sort. Eat your fats, carbs and protein and get your steps in. Keep it simple and remember a cute gym set will make you lift heavier 😂Proud of myself because it really wasn’t easy showing up daily ngl.”

She Accepts Herself

Cela talked about her journey to accept herself in the caption of this Instagram post. “When I was growing up, all I ever wanted was to be pretty. I hated the way I looked and felt out of place, especially as the only girl in school with upper lip hair and a foreign background. I resented that my Albanian parents imposed cultural norms that limited what I could wear and how I could express myself. Now, in my 30s, I’ve learned to embrace my roots while also appreciating the many unique qualities I bring to the table that go beyond mere appearances. I didn’t realize how much being creative, strong, and loving would mean to me. I didn’t understand the true value of these qualities until now.”

She Works Her Lower Body

Cela shared some of her favorite lower body workouts in this Instagram post. She captioned it, “This mammaaa is putting in the work! Loving it so much moving my body and building my strength all over again 💅🏽All workout programs are from the @evolveyou app so if you’re stuck on where to start I really think you should just come and join the party and see what the fuss is all about.
