How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 of Tracy Cortez’s top diet and fitness tips.


1. Hydrate

Tracy drinks a lot of water. During her workouts, she always has a water bottle close by. In one of her recent posts, she also reveals that she drinks out of coconuts. 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.

2. Exercise

Tracy spends a lot of time exercising and takes her workouts seriously. She trains at Neuro Force One, a "data-driven" program incorporating nutrition, strength and conditioning, and mental training. "Just body-wise, I'm a lot stronger, I'm a lot more explosive," she told ESPN. “There's so much science behind the training. Instead of always going hard, they say train smarter and fight stupid. So when we're in the fight, we're fighting. There's a plan behind it, but you're going in there to fight. When you train, you're not training to hurt yourself every day. We're training a lot smarter than what I normally would.”

3. Do Breathing Exercises

Tracy also takes time to do breathing exericse. "Mentally, I'm able to calm myself down,” she told ESPN, adding that the breathing exercises are good for “calming my heart rate.” According to the Mayo Clinic, there are lots of benefits to meditating, which is similar to breathing exercises.

  • Building skills to manage your stress
  • Increasing self-awareness
  • Focusing on the present
  • Reducing negative emotions
  • Increasing imagination and creativity
  • Increasing patience and tolerance
  • Lowering resting heart rate
  • Lowering resting blood pressure
  • Improving sleep quality

4. Prioritize Your Mental Health

Tracy understands the importance of prioritizing mental health and is vocal about hers on social media. “I want to be very vulnerable but I also — to a certain extent because social media knows how to tear people down,” she said in one of her Instagram Stories. “I’m healing and I’ve been going through it on a personal level. I’ve been healing and accountability is a hard pill to swallow and a lot of people aren’t able to take accountability of their actions. You know, it’s always east to find the easy way out, excuses, you know? And I’m changing everything that I thought I was once. I’m trying to become a better person. I’m trying. Not that I was bad, but I’m trying to move intentionally, I’m trying to move purely.“I’ve been going through it since August,” she continued, revealing that she was “extremely depressed” while at training camp, and “still gave it 110 percent. I showed up and it was hard. Everyone around me in my circle saw, and getting pulled out the way that I did, hurt me. It broke me because we give everything. We leave it all. We give everything that we possibly can and we leave it all, every ounce of us in every session. I feel like training camp really takes a toll on me, and I think every fighter to a certain level can relate, spiritually, physically, and obviously mentally, it takes a toll on us. And I gave it all. I gave it all I had and not fighting has kind of left me a little lost. But I’m okay. I’m keeping myself healthy. I’m making my mental state, my state of mind, my mental health, I’m making it a priority,” she said.

5. Lift Weights

I send you my energy so you give it 100 💫💪🏽😘🎶 good vibes que🏽 PURE GOOD VIBES HERE!!” she captioned a recent post.

Actress and singer Mariana Botas is enjoying the beautiful beaches of Acapulco, Mexico. Botas posted a series of pictures of herself posing on the sand, wearing a bright print bikini and pink hat. “I'm going to the beach to roll in the sea to drink a beer and why not dance 🏖️ 🌊 🍻 💃🏼,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Botas stays in shape 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. She Follows a Low-Carb Diet

Low,Carb,Diet,Fitness,And,Weight,Loss,Concept,,Dumbbells,,WhiteShutterstock

Botas says she follows a low-carb diet, and loves how it makes her feel. “It’s hardly a coincidence that avoiding carbohydrates – like sugar and bread – has a special effect, beyond just focusing on calories,” says Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt, a Swedish medical doctor specializing in family medicine. “Carbohydrates, more than other foods, stimulate the release of the hormone insulin. And insulin is the body’s main fat-storing hormone. This means that to lose excess body fat your number one goal should be reducing insulin levels. And to do this, the first and most important thing is to eat fewer carbs – a low-carb diet. For many people this is enough to reach their goal weight.”

2. She Loves the Beach

Botas doesn’t just model those bikinis for show—she really loves the beach. "When we imagine the beach, we can all easily feel the warm sand between our toes," says Dr. Heidi Hanna, a Fellow and Advisory Board Member for the American Institute of Stress. "In fact, the sensation of being barefoot (the foot actually has the most nerve endings per square inch as compared to the rest of the body) in nature has a grounding effect and is shown to boost your mood."

3. She Enjoys Wine

Botas enjoys the occasional glass of wine. "When it comes to alcohol, calories do count when trying to manage your weight [and] alcohol decreases your inhibitions, so you tend to eat more," says Keren Gilbert, certified nutritionist and founder and president of nutrition consultant firm, Decision Nutrition. "We are all entitled to a little relaxation, and fun. Alcohol can fit into a healthy lifestyle by keeping a tight, clean diet most of the time, drinking in moderation and knowing the facts."

4. She Walks Her Dogs

Botas is obsessed with her beautiful pups and loves taking them for walks. “There are many reasons to walk for exercise,” says Ann Green, M.S., past heptathlon world athlete, yoga teacher and fitness studio owner. “Walking improves fitness, cardiac health, alleviates depression and fatigue, improves mood, creates less stress on joints and reduces pain, can prevent weight gain, reduce risk for cancer and chronic disease, improve endurance, circulation, and posture, and the list goes on…”

5. She Swims

Botas loves to swim. “Many people say that by simply being in the water they feel more relaxed and less stressed,” says swimming instructor Emily Morrissey. “Regular exercise helps reduce anxiety and depression, as it releases ‘feel good’ hormones and keeps our brains working in a healthy way.”

They told me that I had to train and then run 42K, and I replied that there was no way, that I couldn't and that my head could only support 10 kilometers. Suddenly, they gave me a plan, I started training full force and in the middle I got injured, although it helped me mentally prepare for the marathon. The process to run such long distances is a huge sacrifice, training with cold, with heat, with pain... Will is the key.

2. She Sets Goals

2. She’s Not Embarrassed

Moore works on TV, and things sometimes go wrong. However, she doesn’t let herself get embarrassed by what happens. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram video. “I rarely get embarrassed anymore. I don’t feel mortified often, because I’m human, and confident, and prone to mistakes or extra cake, or tripping on a sidewalk or whatever. This is life. Things won’t fit. I will trip. I will say the wrong thing and get a burst of panic sweat…But I’ll recover and move on because humility and confidence is a wild combo. If you make the choice to not feel stupid…But lean into feeling human instead…All the little embarrassing things just become part of a colourful life. So you’re not stupid. You’re human.”

Drop them off. Fill up their water bottle. Kiss them. And if you have one…Go to your car. Snacks, music, books and solitude await. Hanging out alone in the car is absolutely self care. Moms have been doing this forever…But now social media has named it: Parking Lot Self Care.”

The Mayo Clinic says that strength training has a lot of benefits. “Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories. Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury.

She Does Yoga

Sharvari shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. One thing she likes to do is yoga. Sharvari posted this video of herself doing poses on her page. John Hopkins Medicine states that yoga is very beneficial. “Regular yoga practice may reduce levels of stress and body-wide inflammation, contributing to healthier hearts. Several of the factors contributing to heart disease, including high blood pressure and excess weight, can also be addressed through yoga.”

She Plays Padel

Sharvari likes to play padel to keep herself in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself on the court. Playing padel has a lot of health benefits. Everybody Health & Leisure says, “It improves cardiovascular fitness, helps to build strength and endurance, enhances coordination and promotes overall physical and mental well-being.

Natasa Stankovic isn’t just a content creator—she’s a fitness inspiration. Known for sharing intense workout sessions on Instagram, she keeps her followers motivated with creative exercise challenges and dynamic routines.

In her latest post, Stankovic teamed up with Aleksandar Illic for a lower body blast, pushing through variations of squats and lunges. Dressed in a sleek two-piece workout set, she captioned the session, “Wednesday challenge,” proving that fitness is all about consistency and fun.

So, how does she maintain her lean, strong physique? From strength training to Pilates, here’s a look at Stankovic’s go-to workout moves.

She Does Squats

Stankovic does squats to keep herself in shape, as you can see in her Instagram video. Piedmont says that this exercise has a lot of health benefits. “Whether you’re hoping to tone your muscles, strengthen your core or just improve overall health, squats are one of the best exercises you can do. Although the movements appear relatively simple, squats can take time to master. Joel Hardwick, ACSM EP-C, EIM2, an exercise physiologist at Piedmont Atlanta Fitness Center, says practice will pay off…Hardwick explains that 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.”

She Does Lunges

Stankovic is also seen doing lunges in her Instagram video. The Mayo Clinic reports that lunges are very beneficial to do. “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.”

She Does Cardio

Stankovic likes to do cardio workouts to keep herself in shape. She shared this video of herself doing fast box jumps in different directions on Instagram. Stankovic captioned it, “Morning cardio challenge.” Cardio exercises have a lot of benefits. The Cleveland Clinic says, “When you work your heart and other muscles of your body during cardio exercise, this increases oxygen supply to your whole body, allowing all muscles to work harder and more efficiently. Over time, regular cardio exercise allows your muscles to adapt to an increased workload, making regular activities seem easier.”

She Does Pilates

Stankovic shares a lot of her favorite workouts in an Instagram story highlight. In some of the stories, she is seen doing Pilates exercises on a reformer. Pilates is very beneficial. The Cleveland Clinic says, “One of the reasons Pilates is such a good workout is that it specifically focuses on building core strength.”

She Strength Trains

Stankovic likes to strength train to keep herself in shape. She shared this Instagram story of herself using dumbbells. ACE Fitness says that strength training and using weights has a lot of health 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.”

Kim French in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Real Results" Workout

Learn how she sculpts her powerhouse physique with deadlifts, lunges, squats, and more.

Kim French is more than just a personal trainer—she’s a fitness coach who empowers thousands through her Believe App and Instagram workouts. Known for her structured, effective home training plans, she proves that you don’t need a gym full of heavy weights to build serious strength.

In a recent Instagram post, French shared a glimpse of her at-home training, reminding followers that smart training delivers "REAL results." Rocking a sleek two-piece workout set, she showcased some of her go-to exercises, emphasizing that with the right strategy, anyone can see progress.

So what’s in her routine? From deadlifts to hip thrusts, here’s how French sculpts her powerhouse physique.

She Does Deadlifts

French is seen doing deadlifts in her Instagram post. This exercise has a lot of benefits. NASM says, “A Romanian deadlift is a hip-hinge pattern that works the hamstrings and glutes. It is a form of deadlift with noticeably less bend in the knee, leading to greater hamstring engagement than traditional deadlifts. The move was introduced to the masses in the 90s by Romanian weightlifter Nicu Vlad (an Olympic and World Weightlifting champion) and his coach Dragomir Cioroslan. The two invented the move to help Nicu strengthen his back for the clean and jerk. Today, RDLs are commonly used to strengthen the posterior chain, using the core muscles to stabilize and the hamstrings and glutes to drive the movement.”

She Does Lunges

Another exercise that French is seen doing in her Instagram post is lunges. NASM says that they are very beneficial. “The lunge is a versatile, simple and effective movement for lower body training. Various positions, planes of motion and speeds can all yield different training adaptations for the exerciser. Lunges are the gift that keeps on giving!”

She Does Squats

French is seen doing squats in her Instagram video. According to The Cleveland Clinic, squats are very beneficial. “Here’s a quick look at the many benefits of squats, also known as bodyweight squats or air squats: Works major muscle groups. Burns calories. Strengthens your core. Improves lower body strength. Enhances stability and balance. Betters your posture.”

She Does Hamstring Curls

French is seen doing hamstring curls in her Instagram post. According to The Mayo Clinic, hamstring curls are very beneficial. “The seated hamstring curl is an exercise you can do with a weight machine to work the muscles in the back of the thigh. As the name implies, the seated hamstring curl targets the hamstring muscles here in the back of the thigh. Strong hamstring muscles help to protect your ligaments in the knee.”

She Does Hip Thrusts

French shared this video on Instagram of herself doing hip thrusts. She captioned it, “Hip Thrusts are no doubt one of the best exercises for building your Glutes but of course with any exercise, the form has to be correct for you to see the maximum benefits…✖️ Feet too far forwards will engage your hamstrings more ✖️ Feet too close to you will engage your quads more ✔️ Feet placed so your calves are vertical will engage your glutes more.”
