The Office Star Jenna Fischer Shares Swimsuit Photo of “Family, Fun, Food”

The one exercise she’s obsessed with.

The Office star Jenna Fischer had a beautiful trip to the Ozarks over the summer and added the highlights of her vacation to social media. Fischer, 49, shared a picture of herself posing on a boat wearing a brightly-patterned one-piece swimsuit and black hat, enjoying the time spent with her family. “Lake of the Ozarks! Family, Fun, Food, Cousins. See you again next year!” she captioned the post. Here’s how Fischer takes care of herself, inside and out.

1. Coffee and Sleep


Fischer relies on coffee and sleep to keep her sane when juggling work and family responsibilities. “My favorite thing to do just for me is sleep,” she says. “But as the mom of two little ones, I rarely get as much sleep as I want. My second favorite thing to do for me is drink coffee. When I do yoga regularly, I feel so good. It's my mind, body, and spirit cleanse. After a long weekend of play dates and sporting events and kid birthday parties, I can't tell you how much I crave my Monday morning yoga class.”

2. Yoga Fanatic

Fischer loves the mental and physical aspects of regular yoga sessions. "As we get started with stretching, the first 20 minutes of every class is usually me fighting my brain to relax, to stop making to-do lists, and to stop making notes on my mental calendar,” she says. “The more poses we do, the more my brain gets quiet. As the hour goes on, I feel like I'm literally wringing out the weekend and resetting myself. I leave feeling refreshed and clear-headed. Although it's difficult to find time to rest and recharge in her busy schedule, she tries to make time for yoga once or twice a week. I don't see yoga as an exercise class — I see it as a sanctuary. I love yoga almost as much as my coffee."

3. Doing It All

Fischer insists not every celebrity has a team of people helping them. “It’s so funny because I think there’s the perception that every [famous] woman has a driver and a chef and a personal trainer and a nanny,” she says. “I don’t have any of those things. Like other working moms, I’m trying to figure out how to balance it all. When I say I’m going jogging with my son or eating certain things or whatever, there’s a tendency to be cynical and say, ‘Of course, because someone cooked it for her’ – or ‘Of course she’s on a date, because she had her nanny watch the baby.’ No, absolutely not. I want people to know that.”

4. Postpartum Health

Fischer was gentle in her approach to postpartum health and fitness. “I didn’t start exercising until Weston was six months old and was taking regular naps,” she says. “It’s taken me every day of 10 months to lose the weight. I did it slowly and I did it moderately. It was important for me to lose it. I was a fit and active person before I had my son, but if there’s one thing I could do for a new mom, it’d be to alleviate her of any guilt or any stress over the idea of having her body look a certain way.”

5. Weight Gain and Loss

Fischer says it’s no surprise actresses are careful about their weight. “In a normal job, if you gain or lose a few pounds, it's no big deal,” she says. “But in my business you have to tell someone so that the next time you go to a fitting, the clothes are the right size. It's really embarrassing to have to say to your manager, ‘I'm now a 6 pant instead of a 4.’ Emails go out, and they cc the agents: ‘Jenna would like everyone to know that she's now a 6 pant.’ This is why actresses obsess about their weight. It's not a private affair.”

Jenna Fischer, the iconic receptionist from the popular series The Office, looks radiant while enjoying a day at the beach in a bathing suit. In the post she talks about the Office Ladies Podcast she hosts with co-star Angela Kinsey. How does she keep looking so beaming? Read these 5 tips Jenna uses to have that glow 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. Avoiding Gluten

In a recent Instagram post, Jenna revealed she went gluten-free to reduce inflammation. However, this didn’t stop her from putting on her apron and making some home-made bread. According to the Mayo Clinic, “A gluten-free diet is also popular among people who haven't been diagnosed with a gluten-related medical condition. The claimed benefits of the diet are improved health, weight loss and increased energy, but more research is needed.”

2. Winter Sports

Jenna doesn’t shy away from hitting the slopes. Here she is posing for a quick selfie on a ski trip during spring break. Being active while on vacation can do wonders! "Move over treadmill. Outdoor winter activities do more than get your blood pumping. Exercising outside, and soaking up sunlight, helps your body make vitamin D, an essential nutrient your body needs to fight off germs. Research also suggests that exercising during the winter can reduce your chance of catching a cold or the flu. That's because exercise increases your blood circulation and may flush bacteria out of your lungs and airways," says Franciscan Health.

3. She Practices Yoga

In her garage, Jenna has found a quiet space to practice her yoga poses. She finds the decluttered space organized and therefore a relaxing area to get into the right headspace. Per Harvard Health: “It focuses your attention on your body's abilities at the present moment. It helps develop breath and strength of mind and body.” Maybe you can clear a spot in your home to practice some poses?

4. She Loves Her Sports

Did you know Jenna plays hockey? In this Instagram post she calls herself "hockey mom." Finding a sport you enjoy may just be the ticket to getting fit. One study found "that there is an association between physically active males age 35 or over who play ice hockey regularly (at least once a week) and enhanced health more so than other physically active males...participation can be promoted among less physically active adults and people who are new to the game or who have historically lower levels of participation including women and recent immigrants."

5. She Works on Her Core

In an Instagram video Jenna shares with her fans that she enjoys working on her core and getting into her overall fitness routine. Harvard Health states, “A strong core also enhances balance and stability. Thus, it can help prevent falls and injuries during sports or other activities. In fact, a strong, flexible core underpins almost everything you do.” After turning 45, Jenna says, “I made a goal for self-care and fitness.” It sure shows, Jenna!

Criminal Minds star Kelly Frye is enjoying the fall, which means sunshine and pool time. Frye, who played Kristy Simmons on the show, shared a video of herself falling backwards into a pool in a black bikini, clearly having a very fun time. Another picture showed her posing with friends while wearing a red bikini, straw hat, and white shirt on top. Frye’s career is going from strength to strength—here’s how she lives her best, happiest life.

1. Strength From Mom

Frye is inspired by her mother to follow her dreams. “My mom is a strong woman herself, a constant inspiration and a great motivator,” she says. “She gave my brothers and me the confidence to go after what we want in life. When my own confidence wavers, I call and ask her to tell me a few magic stories from our life. I call them ‘magic stories’ because they tend to be situations where fate has played a heavy hand. She’s a wonderful storyteller and they always lift my spirits and remind me that what is meant to be will be. I attribute my ability to go after what I want completely to my mom. I surround myself with like-minded people and they motivate me every day in their pursuit of their dreams. It’s never easy, but nothing worth having ever is.”

2. Healthy Habits

Frye credits her beautiful complexion to healthy habits. “I hope I don’t sound like a broken record, but this is something else I attribute to my mom,” she says. “She’s a redhead as well and has wonderful skin. She told me as a young woman to never smoke, drink much, or spend a lot of time in the sun. I don’t smoke, drink much, or spend a lot of time in the sun, or if I am in the sun, I’m slathered in SPF 50+. I also eat plenty of vegetables, drink an inordinate amount of water, and go for long walks with my pup, Coco.”

3. Family Business

Frye comes from a family of entertainers, which made it easier to gather the courage to tackle the entertainment industry. “I come from a family filled with storytellers,” she says. “My mom is one of the best, and my oldest brother is actually a playwright, theater director, and founder of the Catastrophic Theatre in Houston. But, I’ve always performed. I was a figure skater, too. In the back of my mind, I had always wanted to do this. The sensible part of my brain thought I needed to be a lawyer, so I went to school for business. Then I had a conversation with myself and my family and asked them what they thought. They agreed with me and told me that I only have one life, so I might as well try it. Thankfully, it’s worked out, and I knew if it didn’t, I could go back and still be fine. I love it, though. It’s really fun to inhabit another person.”

4. Outdoorsy Life

Frye loves her outdoor lifestyle in Austin, Texas. “Austin’s energy is palpable,” she says. “I love how Austin very much feels like Texas but also has a sprinkling of East Coast and West Coast mentality, with its trademark quirky undertone. I love a long run on Town Lake, taking my pup, Monty, to one of the many dog parks around town, and catching a movie at one of the Blue Starlite Drive-In locations. I really enjoy boating with friends who live on Lake Travis, and I loved boating to Ski Shores Cafe with friends, so I look forward to it reopening. A fun afternoon activity is checking out the sculpture garden at the Contemporary at Laguna Gloria or swimming at Barton Springs like my mom did when she was a little girl.”

5. Sunblock Year Round

Frye never skips skin protection, and keeps her skin moisturized—which she found easier in Hawaii . “I wear sunblock year round,” she says. “It’s the one product I can’t do without. Wintertime usually has me moisturizing a bit more to keep the dryness away… I LOVED living on Oahu. I must have been Hawaiian in a past life, because I take to Hawaii like a fish takes to water. It is what I imagine Heaven is like. I’d love to end up back there at some point.”

The Office star Majandra Delfino—she played Fannie Schrute, Dwight's sister—went paddle boarding in Portland, Maine, not letting the cold weather get in the way of a fun time on the water. Delfino, 42, shared a picture of herself wearing a black one-piece swimsuit, posing in front of a mirror with two friends also in swimsuits.“Beaches of Eastwick,” she captioned the post. “I bet y’all had a blast and you enjoyed your besties being there,” a fan commented. Delfino has been acting for decades—here’s how she does it.

1. She’s a Singer

Delfino was a singer before getting into acting. “Acting came a lot later in my life,” she says. “I've been singing professionally since I was like 11, when I was in a band in Miami, with three of my friends, called China Dolls. Our managers had this great image of us being like Spice Girls or something, but we just didn't get to do what we wanted, so we split up. Now two of the girls have a deal with Sony and the other has a deal with BMG, so everybody's got it together.”

2. Avoiding Unhealthy Fats

Delfino tries to avoid unhealthy fats in her food. “I love to eat lots of things that I am discovering contain partially hydrogenated oil which is such a bad fat for your heart,” she says. “I'm a firm believer in good fats that have been proven to be necessary, only problem is a lot of our foods put these oils in to give their products a longer shelf life. So I don't feel guilty when I have cookie dough with normal fat, but I feel bad when it has the unnatural kind.”

3. Pregnancy Experience

Delfino believes people should stop treating pregnant women like public property. “From the moment your belly pops (which for me was two seconds after the ‘positive’ pee experience) you become what I can only guess most people consider ‘public domain’,” she says. “That means everyone and I mean EVERYONE has something to say (and feels they MUST say) about how you look, what you’re having, how you’re going to deliver it and then right back to how you look. And what I learned almost every time is that people (even women) are still super down on women.”

4. Horseback Riding

Los,Angeles,-,Feb,27:,Majandra,Delfino,At,The,AnShutterstock

Delfino loves horses and horseback riding. "For the average junior or amateur rider who trains in the saddle at least two to three times per week, riding is a great addition to an exercise program," says professional hunter-jumper rider and trainer Melissa Gruber. "Riding is a total body workout. Your legs, arms and core work together to control and communicate with the horses. Really, riding is a partnership sport; the rider and the horse support and guide each other. Just like dancing or ice skating with a partner, horse and rider communicate through body language and touch."

5. Skiing Trips

Delfino enjoys skiing trips with her friends and family. “It’s well documented that skiing and snowboarding benefits cardiovascular health, overall fitness, strength, coordination, balance and more,” says the Canadian Ski Council. “Regardless of your health and fitness goals, strapping on a pair of skis or a snowboard is sure to fulfill some of them. Due to the versatility of skiing and snowboarding, it can encompass the benefits of a cardio workout, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) session, and strength training session, all in one fun activity.”

The Diplomat star Pearl Mackie enjoyed the trip of a lifetime to beautiful Tulum, Mexico. Mackie, who plays Alysse on the show, shared highlights of her trip on social media, including pictures of her lounging by the pool and at the beach in a bright green bikini. “Jury’s still out 🤷🏼‍♀️,” she captioned the post. “Mexico looks good on you,” a fan commented. Here’s why Mackie went into acting, and what makes her happy on set and off.

1. Cooking For Friends

Mackie loves nothing better than cooking for friends and family. “Food really is my happy place,” she says. “Ask anyone I know, they’ll say a) I’m always hungry, and b) I’m very disappointed if food is not good. Because I feel like life is too short. And I don’t mean it always needs to be super bougie; it’s not even about that. But if it’s exactly what you want at the right time, there’s nothing better. At home, growing up, it was me and my mum. She was veggie for most of my life and that meant so was I for the first 12 years, I think. There was a lot of pasta: that’s my mum’s one dish. I don’t feel I’m offending her by saying that. She was a single mum, she worked hard. Cooking didn’t bring her joy. Whereas I love cooking; it genuinely brings me so much joy.”

2. Shellfish and Tacos

Mackie loves shellfish, but thinks she became allergic after going overboard with it. “We used to go to friends in the south of France in the summer,” she says. “I’d get really very excited by the massive prawns when you went to the beach. And I feel like I’ve eaten so many of them that that’s how I became allergic to them. My body just went: “You’ve had your fill, you need to leave some for someone else.” Because when I was 21, I became really quite severely allergic to shellfish, which is still very sad for me to this day. Me and my fiancee love Mexican food, so for our engagement party we were like: ‘We’ve got to make tacos!’ So my fiancee borrowed a taco press and we had handmade corn tortillas with pulled pork and sweet potato for 100 people. We had all our neighbors squeezing limes. It was crazy, but actually it was delicious.”

3. People Watching

Mackie is interested in what makes other people tick, which is why she ended up acting. “I have always been fascinated by other people,” she says. “I’ll walk down the road and look at people, and think: I wonder what it’s like to be them. We are all given a very different set of opportunities and circumstances, and within those constraints we are trying to carve out our lives in the best way we can. It’s fantastic. You get to pretend to be somebody else! And as I’ve got older, I’ve realized that it can also be an incredible way to bring light to issues, and stories, that aren’t necessarily told that much. It allows people to understand things on a more personal level.”

4. Diversity On Screen

Westwood,,Ca,Usa,-,April,26,,2023:,Alicia,Keys,AttendsShutterstock

Mackie is proud to have fans dress up as her. “When I was little there weren’t that many people who looked like me on TV, so it’s great to have two little kids thinking: ‘OK, she looks like me so I’m going to dress up as her, and I don’t need a different kind of face make-up, I don’t need to straighten my hair,’” she says. “When Alicia Keys came out that was a big thing for me because she was mixed race as well. There were a lot of people I liked on screen, like Judi Dench, she’s wicked, but that’s very different to having someone where you think, ‘She looks like me, maybe I could do that.’”

5. Family First

Alysse is happiest when surrounded by friends and family. “I hope our family will be a household where there’s always food on the table, however many friends our kids bring home,” she says. “I love nothing more than cramming too many people around the table and figuring out how to feed them: ‘I don’t know how we’re going to do this, but let’s do it!’ To me, that’s what food is. That’s what it does.”

Grace Charis is more than just a golf influencer—she’s a powerhouse on and off the course. Known for blending her love of the sport with a lifestyle that keeps her fit and fabulous, Charis recently shared a video on Instagram, inviting followers to “Come play this par 3 with me!” Decked out in a sleek white visor, matching skirt, and light pink top, she showcased not just her swing but her toned physique. So, how does she stay in such great shape? From perfecting her golf game to hitting the gym, here are the five fitness habits that keep Grace Charis on top of her game.

She Golfs

Golf is the main way Charis keeps herself in shape. Better Health states that the sport has a lot of benefits. “Golf provides a stimulating mental challenge combined with a healthy walk in pleasant surroundings and can be played by people of all abilities and ages. Golf can be played on your own or in a team. It may be a casual pastime or a competitive activity. Golf can be good for your health and your heart. 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.”

She Swims

Charis likes to swim to keep herself in shape. She shared these photos and videos on Instagram of herself snorkeling in Japan. The Cleveland Clinic says that swimming has a lot of health benefits, including building your muscles. “The built-in resistance that water provides helps build muscles and makes you stronger. And because water is more resistant than air, swimming does this faster than land workouts like running and biking.”

She Lifts Weights

Charis shared some of her favorite workouts in this TikTok. In it, she is seen doing a lot of workouts with weights. According to ACE Fitness, 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 Does Glutes Bridges

Charis is also seen doing glute bridges in her TikTok. NASM states that this exercise has a lot of benefits. “Glute bridges are a useful exercise for building core stability, building glute strength, and improving overall exercise form and function. When performed as a stabilization exercise, glute bridges activate the glutes to function as they are supposed to in other movements like squats, deadlifts, walking, and running. Adding weight progresses glute bridges into a strength exercise, which can build strength in the glute muscles. By increasing glute activation and strengthening the glutes, not only will your form get better in other exercises, but you might also gain the added benefit of reduced low back pain in your everyday life.”

She Does Lunges

Charis is also seen doing lunges with weights in her TikTok. Lunges are very beneficial. The Mayo Clinic reports, “The lunge is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles. Specifically, the lunge targets the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles in the thigh, the gluteal muscles in the buttock, and to a lesser extent, the lower leg muscles. The lunge is a great conditioning exercise for many sports, especially those that involve lunging movements, such as tennis, basketball or soccer.”

Italian model and influencer Alessia Tedeschi doesn’t just turn heads at the beach—she puts in the work to stay in top shape year-round. Known for her stunning swimwear snaps and toned physique, Tedeschi often gives fans a glimpse into her fitness routine on Instagram, sharing her go-to moves and healthy habits.

She Does Squats

Tedeschi shares her favorite workouts in an Instagram story highlight on her page. In this video, she is seen doing squats with a kettlebell. The Cleveland Clinic says that squats are very beneficial. “Squats target and strengthen your thighs, hips and butt. Why does that matter? A strong lower body is important for athletes, yes, but not just for athletes. Your lower body fuels your ability to walk, run, jump … everything, re

She Lifts Weights

In the previous Instagram story video, Tedeschi is seen using a weight to workout. She also shares a lot of videos in the highlight of herself using weights. ACE Fitness states that doing 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 Does Pilates

Tedeschi likes to do Pilates to keep herself in shape. She shares a lot of videos in her Instagram story highlight of herself using a reformer. Better Health reports, “The health benefits of Pilates include: improved flexibility, increased muscle strength and tone, particularly of your abdominal muscles, lower back, hips and buttocks (the ‘core muscles’ of your body), balanced muscular strength on both sides of your body, enhanced muscular control of your back and limbs, improved stabilisation of your spine.”

She Does Burpees

Tedeschi likes to do burpees to keep herself in shape. She shared this video in her Instagram story highlight of herself doing them. The Cleveland Clinic says that burpees have a lot of benefits. “From an aerobic standpoint, burpees put your ticker to the test. The exercise offers the breath-stealing effect of running in a very condensed timeframe.”

She Does Deadlifts

Tedeschi is seen doing deadlifts with a weight in this Instagram story. Deadlifts are very beneficial. ACE Fitness says, “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.”

Rachel Platten is a very successful singer. She is known for songs like “Fight Song” and “Stand By You.” Recently, Platten announced on Instagram that she will be going on tour this year. She captioned a post, “I cannot wait to see your faces and hug you and cry together and feel our feelings and connect and saaaang!! Tickets go on sale this Monday. But if you’re signed up for my email list then you’ll get an email giving you early access TODAY. See you soon my friends.”

She Opened Up About Her Struggles

After having her first child, Platten opened up about her struggles on Instagram. She tells TODAY that she received a lot of support from others after doing this. "I get flooded with comments from other women and men saying that it's OK, and I'm not alone, I'm not doing a bad job," she said. “It's making me feel not isolated. I could have gone down a road of this being a much darker experience had I not learned early on to be vulnerable and vocalize what I'm going through. That's been a really big life raft for me.”

She’s Comfortable With Her Weight

On her Instagram, Platten revealed that she is not putting pressure on herself to lose pregnancy weight, as she is comfortable with herself. “I am not less worthy of love just because I can’t seem to lose those last 5 or 10 pounds of ‘baby weight.’ I’ve tried it ALL and my body is begging for my acceptance. I am stronger than ever, I am so healthy, I can dance and lift weight and carry my girls and move and live a full beautiful life and am honestly sick of trying to keep shrinking myself back to pre-baby weight. F— it.”

She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Platten shared some of her skincare secrets with Health Insight. “I apply face masks regularly — twice a week or more — and often go to sleep with a thin layer of a hydrating mask instead of a moisturizer. I also have a five-step routine (cleansing, toning, using a serum, moisturizing, and using sunscreen) that I do every morning and night no matter what. It’s a form of meditation for me and reminds me that even when I’m crazy busy there’s always time to breathe and love on myself a little.”

She’s Consistent With Wellness

Platten makes sure to stay consistent with her wellness routine. She shared her secrets with Health Insight. “In addition to my daily routine, I get regular facials (or give myself mini facials when I don’t have time), drink a crazy amount of water, eat healthy foods, and wear hats almost every time I’m in the sun. As cheesy as it might sound, I really do love taking care of my skin and I put a lot of effort into maintaining it.”

She Gives Back

Platten is a big believer in giving back to others. “I think we can remember how powerful we are by giving — giving compliments, our time to charities, and random acts of kindness,” she told Health Insight. “We can feel sad and powerless when we only focus on what we don’t have or don’t want, but we can easily shift this by switching that focus to what we have to offer! In my opinion, nothing is more beautiful or attractive than a woman who knows her worth and power.”
