Valerie Bertinelli In Workout Gear Thanks Fans While Taking a Walk

Valerie Bertinelli is thanking fans for all their support in a sweet social media post. Bertinelli, 64, shared a video of herself walking down the street, wearing leggings and a shirt with the words “love yourself” on it. “When I go on my walks, I do a lot of reflecting. Sometimes sweet, sometimes challenging. Reflecting on this week and the kindness all of you have shown me in our conversations at the Indulge book signings, and here online, I just wanted to send out a huge thank you for supporting me and for all your sweet responses to my life updates. 🥰 I truly love this community that we have built here. Thank you for sticking around. Through the challenging and through the sweet 💜,” she captioned the post. Bertinelli recently announced she is six months sober—here’s how she’s living her best life.

1. Slow and Steady Weight Loss

Bertinelli lost weight slowly, which she says was just what she needed. “I’ve learned patience,” she told PEOPLE. “Stop with the ‘lose ten pounds in a week.’ Why would you want to? If you want to start taking care of your emotions and your head and your heart, do that, and watch yourself release the weight. Unless you do the emotional and mental work, weight is not going to stay off.”

2. No To Ozempic, But No Judgment

Bertinelli didn’t use Ozempic herself, but refuses to judge anyone who does. “But what I don't like is people poo-pooing others that have decided to use it,” she told PEOPLE. “I think anything you need to do, if you need to go on a diet, if you need to go on Weight Watchers, if you feel better doing Paleo, or Keto, if that makes you feel better, because my brother is doing Keto and I tell him, 'Dude, eat a banana. It's not going to kill you.' But he says ‘This is working for me,’ so, cool.”

3. Pilates Workouts

Bertinelli loves taking Pilates classes, and sometimes posts videos of her workouts online. “No matter how hard it is to get there, I always feel so much better about myself once I’m done,” she captioned a post. “Thank you, Grace! Exercise is not just for your body. It can also soothe your soul 🤍💪🏼.”

4. Six Months Sober

In a recent social media post, Bertinelli announced she is six months sober from alcohol. “Alcoholic drinks often contain a lot of sugar and carbohydrates, along with empty calories that contribute to weight gain,” Bethany Agusala, MD, tells UTSouthwestern Medical Center. “Sobriety helps improve insulin efficiency, which helps alleviate digestive problems such as bloating, constipation, diarrhea, and nausea.”

5. Emotional Eating

Bertinelli is gentle with herself when she’s tempted to eat for emotional reasons. “I still have my moments where I’ll start unconsciously eating because I’m feeling something emotional and mid way through I’ll think what am I doing? Why am I feeling this way?," she told PEOPLE. "When I find myself unconsciously emotionally eating, I don’t beat myself up. I go, okay, give myself a hug and say what’s going on?”

Lauralee Bell is sharing gratitude in her swimsuit. In a recent social media post the Young and the Restless star shows off her amazing body in a bathing suit while vacationing with her family. “Thank you family (and friends who are family) Spending time together is my favorite thing! 🏝️❤️All parents understand when kids go off to college and/or start having their own lives we wait for these moments to be together,” she captioned the Instagram video. How has the star, 54, approached health and wellness over the years? Celebwell rounded up her top health habits.

At 54, Bell maintains that two things are responsible for her longevity. “I have to just really eat well and lift weights and try to last,” she told Deadline.

2. Exercise Changes Her Face

In an interview with the Los Angeles Times many years ago, Bell explained that exercise changed her face. “It sounds so strange but after working out, an awful lot changed. I lost baby fat. My face changed. My hairdresser asked if I had my eyes enlarged because suddenly they were so big on camera. I just changed,” she said.

3. Exercise Also Boosts Her Mind

“It’s amazing. When you strengthen your body, you strengthen your mind. I became more independent. I became stronger, more vocal in terms of my beliefs,” she added about the mental benefits of breaking a sweat.

4. She Exercises a Few Times a Week

Bell said that she works out three times a week. “I eat differently now so I don’t have to work out as much. I get there 20 minutes before my trainer to walk the treadmill. And then I lift weights. I leg press a lot, close to 200 pounds. And I do barbells anywhere from 5 to 25 pounds. One day we’ll do shoulders and legs and then the next day we’ll do arms and butt. When I’m watching TV I’ll crank out 100 or 200 sit-ups during commercial breaks,” she added.

5. She Walks

She also walks on the treadmill and outside. 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.

6. She Eats Healthy

Bell detailed her diet to the Los Angeles Times. “At home I’ll have Shredded Wheat or Grape Nuts for breakfast--that to me is the biggest treat--and nonfat milk. Orange juice and coffee. If I’m [on the set] it’s very easy to order egg whites or granola or oatmeal,” she said. “Then for lunch I’ll bring turkey hot dogs and spinach and brown rice vegetable patties, which I heat up in the microwave, and a salad or vegetable. And I drink a lot of diet Coke. Dinner, I eat a lot of fish--like this weekend I had swordfish--and a lot of meat and chicken and vegetables. I just won’t have the potato or bread. I really like red and white wine. And every once in a while I have to do something like pizza or Doritos or Oreos. And I eat a lot of licorice.”

Bryant has an amazing set of legs, which means she does a lot of lower body exercises. She tells BravoTV.com that she does a lot of these exercises at home. "I've been doing my squats," she says. “Keeping the booty tight.” Try a glute bridge. "Lie in a supine position with the knees bent and the feet flat on the floor. Place the feet hip distance apart. Tighten the core and move into a slight posterior pelvic tilt. Exhale, contract the glutes and press the hips up and away from the floor. Inhale and lower the hips to the starting position. Complete 12 repetitions; rest and repeat for a total of two to four sets," says ACE Fitness.

1. Meghann Fahy Hydrates

Meghann Fahy’s top tip? Hydration. “I down a massive Yeti water bottle, pre-coffee. Hydrating myself is key. I drink so much more water than I even care to drink because I think that it really really helps me get through those 14-, 15-, 16-hour days that we pull sometimes. It helps mentally and physically, and it’s great for my skin,” she told Women’s Health. “On days I can sleep till 7:00, I go to Orangetheory or run. I live in [Brooklyn], so I run by the water a lot,”

2. Simona Tabasco Loves Outdoor Exercise

True to her last name, Simona Tabasco likes to keep things spicy and even has a [chili-pepper tattoo on her forearm]. “Yes! I love it,” she told Vulture about being named after hot sauce. “I love that it’s in my name and part of me. But specifically, it reflects my personality — or at least half of it. There’s a side to me that’s quite quirky and spicy.” She also enjoys outdoor exercise. Two of her favorite forms of fitness? Swimming and hiking.

3. Haley Lu Richardson Dances

Fun fact: Haley Lu Richardson was a competitive dancer before she became famous, and it is still her go-to fitness form. “I danced for like eight or nine years. I was super focused and committed to that; all I did was go to school and then dance and get no sleep. That’s when I learned about self-motivation and committing to something, and also about how much I love entertaining and telling stories. And I think dance and acting have those things in common,” she told The Last Magazine.

4. Leo Woodall Hikes

Leo Woodall enjoys hiking. “Still sore from getting that Uber to the tippy top,” he joked about his Runyon Canyon hike in Los Angeles. Physical benefits of taking a hike include building stronger muscles and bones, improving your sense of balance, improving your heart health, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems. It also offers many mental health benefits, according to a Stanford University study.

5. Aubrey Plaza Loves Yoga

Aubrey Plaza explained to The Cut that she believes wellness is “being conscious of what you’re putting into your body and on your body, and taking care of yourself.” She starts her day with water, followed by a smoothie, coffee, and ginger tea. As for her workouts, she loves yoga and basketball. “I’ve been playing since I was a kid,” she said.

6. Adam DiMarco Plays Basketball

Aubrey isn’t the only White Lotus star who shoots hoops. Adam DiMarco also stays in shape with the help of basketball.

7. Beatrice Granno Walks

Beatrice Granno loves to go for walks, a great way to stay in shape according to science. 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.

How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Elisabetta Canalis 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 Worked Out While Pregnant

When Canalis was pregnant with her daughter, she didn’t let it stop her from working out. Canalis took Pilates classes while she was pregnant, and she made sure to push herself. “​​What I like is that Pilates really defines the muscles,” Canalis told People. “I don’t do pregnancy classes. I take regular advanced classes!”

2. She Doesn’t Diet

In an interview with SheKnows.com, Canalis revealed some of her health and wellness secrets. She says that she focuses on working out and eating healthy, instead of putting herself on restrictive diets. “I’m very athletic,” she said. “I love sports. I’m never on a diet regimen. I love food. When I’m not on the show, I eat a lot of protein and carbs.” Try plant protein. "Nuts; nut butters; seeds; green peas; edamame; quinoa; lentils; legumes, such as garbanzo, kidney, black, pinto or cannellini beans; seitan; tofu; tempeh; and nutritional yeast are all whole food sources of plant protein. Processed plant-based meat alternatives ― "meat" balls, burgers, crumbles, "chicken" tenders and "fish" filets ― have come a long way in texture and flavor. But, it's not clear if replacing animal protein with processed plant-based meat alternatives provides the same benefit as whole food plant-based protein options," says the Mayo Clinic.

3. She Burns Calories Quickly

Canalis revealed to SheKnows that a lot of people think that she doesn’t eat a whole lot. She says that assumption is incorrect, as she eats a lot, and is just blessed with the ability to burn calories fast. “People, especially from Italy are telling me, ‘Why are you losing so much weight? You’re not eating.’ I’m eating much more than usual. People don’t believe it, but I’m burning a lot of calories.”

4. She Loves Pilates

Canalis is a big fan of Pilates. She told FitBump that she picked it up as a way to do more cardio workouts. “I was hiking with my dogs twice a week. And then I started to do Pilates. I had never done Pilates before. I found a very good place here in Los Angeles. I tried Pilates before and thought it was boring. The most important thing is to find a good school, a good teacher who motivates you.”

5. She Has A Supportive Husband

Canalis is married to surgeon, Brian Perri, and she gushed about him to FitBump. “I learned that I have a great husband. Sometimes I can’t take myself and he’s the best at doing that. [Laughs] He’s an extremely positive person. You have these moments when you’re down a little bit and he’s there. He’s super active. Every time he can go surf or run, he’ll do it. He loves it. Sometimes I’m jealous that I cannot follow him, but it motivates me. Better a person who takes care of himself than another person who grabs popcorn and hamburgers and French fries and stays every day in front of the TV.”
