Over the pandemic, she started doing more virtual workouts. "I have been doing a lot of Sculpt, Cardio Boxing and Yoga Classes on the obé Fitness App and virtual classes with Pilates By Amanda. If I don't have a lot of time, I will do Lauren Gores' express workouts on her Instagram. Next week, I am starting Megan Roup's The Sculpt Society which I am really excited about. AND I am dying to try The Class by Taryn Toomey," she revealed to E! Online.

“Every morning is different," she says. "[One day] it’s cereal, another is banana and bread with melted cheese on it. Sometimes I’ll have yogurt with granola and fresh fruit, so it really varies.”

Whitney revealed to StyleCaster that she prefers a light lunch. “If I eat something super heavy, I just get really tired and feel like I need a nap after,” she explained. “Usually, I’ll have just a salad, and it varies with different proteins. My favorite kind is just mixed greens with grilled chicken and some beets and goat cheese with a vinaigrette. My favorite thing to eat is anything Mediterranean, like a Greek salad with grilled chicken and rice. That’s an ideal lunch for me.”

4. She Is All About Snacking

Port is a huge proponent of snacking. “I think finding healthy snacks is a really hard thing to do when you’re traveling. Just try to be prepared and pack your own,” she suggested to StyleCaster. A few of her favorites include sourdough toast with peanut butter. “Or I have those Perfect peanut butter bars that are really good for on the go… they’re really delicious,” she said.

5. She Believes It’s “All About a Healthy Balance”

Whitney has a realistic approach to health. “I try to work out three times a week and eat mostly lean proteins, veggies, and fruits but, I also allow myself to enjoy myself when I feel like it!” she told Hollywood Life. “I don’t believe in strict diets or limitations. It’s all about a healthy balance.”

Witney Carson is 32 weeks pregnant and glowing. The Dancing With the Stars luminary shared a photo of herself posing in front of a mirror in a blue bathing suit, showcasing her baby bump. “32 weeks but feeling like 40 with this big boy 💙🦋,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit?

1. Strong Over Skinny

When it comes to her diet, Carson focuses on health and wellness. “I love food and will never starve myself to make my body look a certain way,” she says. “It’s all about being healthy on the inside that matters and getting whole foods to keep you happy and energized. If you think starving yourself is the way to go, it’s not. Actually, the more healthy foods you eat, the faster your metabolism gets – therefore you burn more calories.”

One of Carson’s go-to healthy (and delicious!) dinners is omega-3-filled grilled salmon with asparagus and sweet potato. “People who eat omega-3s in their diet may have less plaque buildup in their arteries, lowering the risk of heart attack and stroke,” says Cleveland Clinic’s Anna Taylor, MS, RDN, LD. “Omega-3s lower triglyceride levels and may slightly raise ‘good’ HDL cholesterol levels.”

3. No Keto or Vegan Diet

Carson tried the keto diet and didn’t like it. “I’ve done keto before, and I felt really gross,” she says. “I did lose weight on it, but my skin broke out. I have eczema and my eczema was super, super bad. I think I have an allergy to dairy and cheese, so I try to stay away as much as I can now.” A vegan diet didn’t work either. "I just felt like I lost all my muscle because I wasn’t getting the right protein," Carson says.

4. Progress, Not Perfection

Carson gave birth to her first child in 2021 and opened up about her postpartum struggles. "Progress not perfection,” she said. “Being a dancer growing up & even throughout adulthood (especially throughout adulthood) I’ve always been self conscious about my weight and how I looked. I’ve struggled with this & that’s why I was hesitant to post these photos-I didn’t feel I looked a certain way, 'good enough' & that was a sad thought to me. I’m learning to celebrate my body the way it is now and celebrate the small successes to a HEALTHY body, spirit, and mind.”

5. Light Lunch

Carson keeps her food intake light in the middle of the day. “I’ll grill tilapia and I’ll just do a pre-made salad from Whole Foods,” she says. “The tilapia is easy to do—you can keep it in the freezer for forever, thaw it, and then you can just grill it easy.”

Model and former Playboy star Holly Madison is embracing a balanced approach to health and fitness. Recently, she posted a playful selfie from the gym on Instagram, captioned, “Proof I worked out.” Madison’s journey to wellness has been shaped by self-compassion and a focus on long-term goals rather than quick fixes. After her second child, she prioritized her mental health over immediate weight loss, sharing on Instagram, “Losing weight just wasn’t my first priority after having a baby.” With the guidance of a nutritionist and a love for healthy foods like salmon, Madison has gradually built a sustainable routine. She hopes to inspire other moms by showing that achieving goals takes time—and that’s okay.

1. She Didn’t Focus On Losing Weight

After having her second child, Madison opened up about her weight loss process in this Instagram post. Madison revealed that she took some time to just focus on herself, and not worry about her weight. “Yeah, I’m excited that I finally reached my goal weight, but I also wanted to point out that it took me four years to get here. Losing weight just wasn’t my first priority after having a baby, sorry ‘bout it. I had an easy time losing the weight after my first pregnancy, but after the second one, the extra pounds were just hanging on. I was working on a novel and I was terrified that if I went on a diet I would be hungry, cranky, lightheaded and unable to concentrate.”

2. She Worked With A Nutritionist

In the previous Instagram post’s caption, Madison revealed that she decided to work with a nutritionist to help her lose weight. “I tried to lose weight just by working out and moderately watching what I eat at first, but even though I was doing really challenging workouts almost every day, nothing was budging. It wasn’t until I finally went to a nutritionist a year ago that I started making any progress. I had to know what foods worked with my metabolism before a diet became effective. Only recently was I able to incorporate both a diet and exercise into my day. For a while, it was a struggle because it seemed I only had time for one: workout OR make sure I had all the foods I need to stick to my diet.”

3. She Wants To Inspire Others

Madison also revealed in the previous post’s caption that she decided to share her journey to inspire other moms who might be in the same situation. “I just wanted to share that as kind of a disclaimer to this picture because I know there are so many moms out there who feel bad because they don’t always lose the weight quickly. The same methods don’t necessarily work for everyone. Just remember, if you haven’t made it to your physical goal yet, it’s because you’re a boss with a million things going on and you are probably killing it more than you think you are. ❤️”

4. She Loves Salmon

In this video on her YouTube channel, Madison shared what she typically eats in a day. For dinner, she ordered a salmon dish from a local restaurant. The Mayo Clinic says that salmon has a lot of benefits. “Salmon is probably best known for its omega-3 fatty acids. Called EPA and DHA, these fats may support heart health, brain function and healthy joints. Most Americans could add more seafood to their diets, and salmon is a good choice. Salmon can be used fresh or canned. If you buy canned salmon, get it packed in spring water instead of oil.”

5. She Has A Better Body Image

Madison opened up about overcoming unhealthy eating habits and body image in her book, The Vegas Diaries. "I felt like I had let myself down. After finally regaining control of my own life and achieving all my goals, how was it that I couldn't even control my own body? It wasn't until I got pregnant with my first baby a little over three years ago that I really started to get into nutrition and eating healthier."

Dancer Witney Carson is taking advantage of the warm September climate in Los Angeles to catch some rays before the fall weather arrives. Carson, 29, shared pictures of herself lounging in the sun, wearing a white swimsuit patterned with red strawberries. In a very cute touch, even her manicure had matching little red strawberries on it. “A strawberry summer 🍓,” she captioned the post. “The matching nails and suit yassss queen,” commented pal Iskra Lawrence. Carson’s approach to health and fitness is refreshingly down to earth—here’s exactly how she does it.

1. Banana Pancakes

Carson starts the day with her own special banana pancakes. “I love starting my morning by making banana pancakes at home,” she says. “Banana pancakes are a perfect way to use up any old bananas that might be lying around your kitchen, AND it's healthy with no flour. For this recipe, you will need one banana, big scoop of almond butter and two eggs (this makes about 10-12 pancakes). Combine banana mashed up, almond butter and eggs. Stir until banana is smooth and consistent with the eggs. Oil a griddle or frying pan over a medium high heat and pour the batter onto the pan. Cook until the pancakes are a golden brown on both sides and enjoy! I love to top these with berries and a little honey.”

2. Kickboxing Workouts

Carson enjoys kickboxing workouts several times a month. “I try to do kickboxing three times a month, maybe once a week,” she says. “I actually work with an MMA fighter in LA, so it’s super fun to do actual real kickboxing. It’s not just like in Pilates where they kind of just punch the air. You’re punching into the pads and kicking. I like the patterns. For me mentally, having patterns to memorize helps my brain remember dance steps. Having that memorization is really important. Also it’s just a really good workout. You let out all of your anger and all your stress and punch stuff. Who doesn’t want to just punch stuff and have a workout?”

3. Lots of Water

Carson makes a point of drinking enough water for both health and beauty. “The most important thing is to drink as much water as you can throughout the day – it will keep your skin healthy, your body healthy, and your mind,” she says. “Nothing feels as good as being healthy does!”

4. Peanut Butter Apples

One of Carson’s go-to healthy snacks are peanut butter apples. ​​”Peanut butter apples are a perfect sweet treat,” she says. “They are so quick and easy to make and help keep things on the healthier side. Simply cut an apple in half and spread peanut butter on both sides. You can leave it as simple as this, or for a little extra savoriness, I like to drizzle caramel or chocolate on top. You can also add crumbled pretzels or mashed up Reese’s pieces if you are looking for a little extra indulgence.”

5. Celebrating Her Body

Carson has learned to truly appreciate her body after years of struggling with low self-esteem. “Being a dancer growing up and even throughout adulthood (especially throughout adulthood) I’ve always been self conscious about my weight and how I looked,” she says. “I’ve struggled with this and that’s why I was hesitant to post these photos. I didn’t feel I looked a certain way, ‘good enough’ and that was a sad thought to me. I’m learning to celebrate my body the way it is now and celebrate the small successes to a HEALTHY body, spirit and mind.”
