Twice Singer Jihyo Shares Swimsuit Photo Saying "Still Summer"

This is why she doesn’t like Pilates.

It’s October, but Korean pop sensation Jihyo is refusing to accept winter is on the way. The singer posted pictures of herself posing in a black and white bikini in a crystal clear pool, looking blissful in the water. “It's still summer time,” she captioned the happy post. “JEONGYEON AT THE BACK 😭,” commented an excited fan. The singer is living her best life as a solo artist—here’s how she does it, and the advice she would give her younger self.


1. She Loves Weight Training

Jihyo prefers weight training at the gym, as it keeps her awake and energized. Exercises such as yoga and Pilates simply made her feel too relaxed, she explains. "I’ve tried Pilates and weight training, but Pilates really made me sleepy,” she says. “But I didn’t get so sleepy when I worked out at the gym. I had fun, although working out is never fun."

2. A Little Bit of Everything

Jihyo refuses to diet, after a childhood where she felt pressured into unhealthy eating patterns. After years of dealing with negativity about her weight, the singer is learning to embrace her looks. “So when I was younger, I was a trainee for so long. I was put on so many diets, so I don’t want to force myself to eat less anymore. I just want to eat what I want to eat and taste a bit of everything,” she says.

3. Online Gaming

Jihyo loves online gaming as she can be anonymous. “I'm always tense and cautious about how people see me. But when I'm playing online games, I can feel the truest to myself,” she says. “Nobody can judge me through [the screen]. That's why I feel most comfortable.”

4. Solo Debut Album

Jihyo could really show her artistry on her solo debut album Zone. “The concept for [Zone] is me, showing different sides of me,” she says. “I particularly chose the order of the tracks because I wanted it to tell a story of emotions, like an emotional journey throughout the day. Each track shows different vocal styles, and yes, it’s very different from Twice, but I wanted to focus on that. While the image that I built through the group really helped me identify who I am, I want to show different sides of me.”

5. Advice To Younger Self

Jihyo wishes she had learned to be confident earlier in her career. “Now that I’ve had my debut and am now a successful artist, I think I would tell my younger self not to be anxious and instead, to just enjoy every moment being a trainee,” she says. “Even then, I knew it’d be a very long haul, but I would tell little Jihyo to enjoy the ride.”

Spending time with dogs, and other animals, has a lot of benefits. News In Health states, “Animals can serve as a source of comfort and support. Therapy dogs are especially good at this. They’re sometimes brought into hospitals or nursing homes to help reduce patients’ stress and anxiety.”

2. She Stays Motivated

Halejcio makes sure to stay in shape. And she also makes sure to stay motivated. Halejcio talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “It's hard to motivate yourself to exercise, but a few days with good food does its job 😅 The number of mirrors in my house doesn't help 🙈 so I'm back and I'm already planning to start implementing the plan: EXTRA KILOGRAMS GOODBYE 😂”

Helejcio captioned the post, “My dad once wanted me to be an athlete.” Better Health states that basketball has a lot of benefits. “Basketball involves a lot of starting and stopping. While not renowned as an aerobic sport, it is still a great workout that can help you: Burn calories (an hour of basketball can burn 630–750 calories). Build endurance. Improve balance and coordination. Develop concentration and self-discipline. Build up muscle.”

5. She Benefits From the Sun

"There are carcinogenic effects of sun exposure that increase the risk for skin cancer, especially for fair-skinned individuals. Therefore, there are recommendations to avoid sun exposure and to apply sun blockers. A more nuanced and balanced message for sun safety guidelines is now advocated. Despite an increased risk of death due to skin cancer, fair skinned women seem to have an overall survival advantage. In addition, an inverse association between sun exposure and hypertension, thromboembolism, and type 2 diabetes mellitus has been shown. Furthermore, low sun exposure habits result in increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD), and non-CVD/non-cancer mortality among women. There are also data supporting that the prognosis of cancer is improved with increasing levels of vitamin D/sun exposure," says one study.

Lisa is one of the most popular singers out there. She is a member of the successful K-pop girl group, BLACKPINK. She just shared some of her vacation highlights on Instagram this week. In them, she is seen by the ocean on a boat, at a resort, and on a plane. Lisa is seen wearing an orange patterned swimsuit and white t-shirt in the photos of her on a boat. She captioned the post, “Summer dump.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Lisa stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Dances

BLACKPINK is known for their choreography. Naturally, Lisa does a lot of dancing to stay in shape. Harvard Health states, “The evidence for the health benefits of exercise is indisputable. Physiologic studies have demonstrated that regular activity builds muscle and bone, reduces fat, increases aerobic capacity, lowers blood pressure, and improves the ratio of ‘good’ to ‘bad’ cholesterol. Dance has been shown to have all the benefits of other forms of exercise. Moreover, by incorporating music, dance may have benefits beyond those of exercise alone. Music stimulates the brain's reward centers, while dance activates its sensory and motor circuits. Dancing has improved balance, gait, and quality of life in people with Parkinson's disease and related movement disorders. And several — but not all — studies have indicated that mastering dance movements and patterns yields greater improvements in memory and problem-solving than walking does.”

2. She Pole Dances

Lisa loves to pole dance to stay in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram. In the first one, she is seen doing a pose on a pole. Lisa captioned the post, “Macau.” Insure4Sport states that pole dancing has a lot of benefits. “Many pole dancing manoeuvres require you to lift and hold your own body weight, so it’s ideal for building strength in your back muscles, biceps, triceps, and forearms. Even if you come to a class without much upper body strength, you’ll soon build it up through pole dancing.”

3. She Swims

Lisa likes to swim to stay in shape. She shares a lot of photos on Instagram of herself in the water. Lisa posted this pool photo on her page. Wake Forest University states that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Unlike many other forms of cardio, swimming uses a wide range of muscles. In addition to toning your whole body, swimming builds both strength and endurance…If you have injuries or sore joints, swimming is great for your body. Whether you’re recovering from an injury or just looking for a low-impact alternative, swimming is much less jarring than other forms of exercise.”

4. She Hikes

Lisa likes to hike to keep herself in shape. She shared these photos on Instagram of herself hiking on the rocks by the beach. Harvard Health states that hiking has a lot of benefits. “A rigorous hike may offer many of the same physical benefits as interval training, which alternates low- and high-intensity exercise to increase cardiovascular fitness. During a hike, your heart rate goes up as you move up an incline and drops when you head downhill. Traversing an irregular landscape can also build strength.”

5. She Paddleboards

Swimming isn’t the only water-based workout that Lisa likes to do. She also likes to go paddleboarding. She shared these photos of herself paddleboarding in Honolulu on Instagram. Paddleboarding can help improve your balance. The American Heart Association states that balance is important. “Having good balance is important for many activities we do every day, such as walking and going up and down the stairs. Exercises that improve balance can help prevent falls, a common problem in older adults and stroke patients. They can also benefit those who are obese since weight is not always carried or distributed evenly throughout the body. A loss of balance can occur when standing or moving suddenly. Often we are not fully aware that we may have weak balance until we try balance exercises.”

For Hewitt, fitness is all about variety. “I try to switch it up a bit,” she told OK!

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.”

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

Pilates

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.
