In 2020, Harper’s Bazaar asked legends in the fashion industry how they were dealing with quarantine. Wang says that she had people with her that encouraged her to stay active. “Unlike many New Yorkers, I happened to have quarantined in Miami after Paris Fashion Week with my workday fashion family. If you are lucky enough to be with a group of people you know so well and have travelled with so extensively, being restricted can bring so many positive and different nuances to the experience. All of them are extremely fit, which pushed me to 'work out' most days.”

2. She Eats Healthy

Wang makes sure to eat healthy. She shared some of her favorite meals in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar. "I go through phases with what I eat for lunch,” she said. “I like sashimi with brown rice and vegetables, Chinese steamed broccoli with chicken and rice, or the artichoke salad or fish from Sant Ambroeus."

3. She Only Drinks Water

Wang has cut a few things out of her diet. She tells Harper’s Bazaar that she has given up sugary beverages like soda. “I only drink water; I stopped drinking Diet Coke six years ago. That was the hardest thing I ever gave up."

4. She Appreciates Things

In her Harper’s Bazaar quarantine interview, Wang revealed that she learned to appreciate things in life more. “The fact we could speak about life, love, work, priorities, family, even fears made each day a new experience. Forcing ourselves to celebrate each life event from birthdays, anniversaries, holidays such as Easter, even births, and sadly, illnesses, helped me to see the need to treasure these milestones no matter what.”

5. She Keeps Her Skin Moisturized & Protected From The Sun

Wang has amazing skin, and she revealed her secrets, and a favorite product with The Strategist. “All I can say is moisturizing and sunblock are the two most important things,” Wang said. “I’m late to making sunscreen part of my daily ritual, but it’s an essential for me now. I choose my SPF usually based on where I am. If I’m in Miami or California, I’ll go for something stronger, maybe SPF 55. But typically, I like SPF 30. I use RoC’s moisturizer with SPF, when I’m in New York because it’s protecting my skin, and I’m not allergic to it. My skin has changed so much in recent years that now things I never used to react to irritate it.”

Vera Wang is one of the most iconic fashion designers of all time. And she’s still looking amazing, despite being in her 70s.

Wang revealed her daily routine to Harper’s Bazaar. She revealed her go-to lunch options, and they’re pretty healthy. “I don't go out to lunch unless it's for business or a dear friend's birthday. But I never miss a meal; I have to feed my brain. I go through phases with what I eat for lunch: I like sashimi with brown rice and vegetables, Chinese steamed broccoli with chicken and rice, or the artichoke salad or fish from Sant Ambroeus. At one point, I was eating a slice of Ray's pizza every day, and I never gained a pound on it. It's not a bad thing if you squeeze out that excess oil. It's so filling.”

3. She Drinks A Lot Of Water

5. She Lets Her Family Motivate Her

Wang is admittedly not an active person. However, her loved ones are. She revealed to Harper’s Bazaar that quarantining with her loved ones helped her stay active. “All of them are extremely fit, which pushed me to 'work out' most days.”

Cifuentes is all about feeling happy. She makes sure to savor the moments. Cifeuentes talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “What is good today, may not be tomorrow,” she writes. “There is the value of the moment, there is the perfect present. The opportunity comes to you, you'll see if you ride it. Hold on tight, don't let go. Laugh... Weeps that each one has his time. Laugh... Cry, live your life, enjoy it all.”

4. She Gets Her Vitamin D

"Vitamin D isn't naturally found in many foods, but you can get it from fortified milk, fortified cereal, and fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel and sardines. Your body also makes vitamin D when direct sunlight converts a chemical in your skin into an active form of the vitamin (calciferol)," says the Mayo Clinic. "The amount of vitamin D your skin makes depends on many factors, including the time of day, season, latitude and your skin pigmentation. Depending on where you live and your lifestyle, vitamin D production might decrease or be completely absent during the winter months. Sunscreen, while important to prevent skin cancer, also can decrease vitamin D production."

5. She Likes the Beach

"Swimming can improve mood in both men and women. For people with fibromyalgia, swimming can decrease anxiety, and exercise therapy in warm water can decrease depression and improve mood. Water-based exercise can improve the health of pregnant people and has a positive effect on the pregnant person’s mental health. Parents of children with developmental disabilities find that recreational activities, such as swimming, improve family connections," says the CDC.

Gillian Zinser is an actress we always love to see, known for roles in 90210 and Smile. She’s also a director, best known for her short film, Bad Habits. Zinser just shared some highlights of a trip she took to Buena Vista. In them, she, her husband, and their dogs ran on the beach. She captioned the post, “My kinda heaven.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Gillian Zinser stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Wants To Share Positive Messages

Zinser talked about making the film Bad Habits with Interview Magazine. “I think I was inspired to share the Sisters’ work as a direct response to the frustration (severe understatement) I’ve felt living through this current administration, bearing witness to all the hateful, sexist, racist, homophobic, transphobic, xenophobic (we could go on…) rhetoric, and behavior they’ve tried to ignite. The Sisterhood has devoted the last 40 years to challenging these forces of hate, promoting human rights, respect for diversity, and inspiring a message of freedom and equality. I can’t really think of a more appropriate moment to celebrate that than right now.”

2. She Wants To Educate Others

Zinser tells Interview Magazine that she wants to use her film to educate others. “I’m interested in making work that promotes connection and empathy, explores and confronts stereotypes, and broadens perspectives. So I’m mostly attracted to stories focusing on unique and fringe communities, those on the margins fighting for acceptance and visibility, and generally anyone going against the grain and being unapologetically themselves in the face of adversity.”

3. She Swims

Zinser spends a lot of time outside. One thing that she likes to do is go swimming. She shared this photo on Instagram of herself floating on her back, captioning it, “Bury me here.” The Cleveland Clinic states that swimming has a lot of benefits. “We’re not saying that swimming is easy (far from it!), but swimming takes much less of a toll on your body than, say, running or riding a bike. That’s because exercising in water lessens the impact of your body weight on your joints.”

4. She Goes After What She Wants

Zinser goes after her dreams. She talked about this in an interview. “The cool thing about dreams is that they grow and evolve alongside us as we do. I've started to dream about making my own films and learning how to tell my own stories, and having been raised in front of the camera has given me this invaluable education and preparation to be able to move behind it.” By the looks of things, she’s succeeded.

5. She Walks

Zinser owns a bunch of dogs, whom she features on her Instagram. One thing she likes to do with them is go on walks. She shared several posts on her account of herself walking her dogs. Harvard Health states that walking has a lot of benefits. “Several studies have found that walking reduces arthritis-related pain, and that walking five to six miles a week can even prevent arthritis from forming in the first place. Walking protects the joints — especially the knees and hips, which are most susceptible to osteoarthritis — by lubricating them and strengthening the muscles that support them.”
