While it might be impossible to fathom, Zoe Saldana, the ageless star of Guardians of the Galaxy, recently turned 43. The actress and mother of three has always been devoted to healthy living, which is one of the fundamental reasons she looks half her age. Over the years, the Avatar star has revealed many of her secrets to looking and feeling great. Celebwell has compiled some of her best health tips that you can take advantage of, and the photos that prove they work. Read on—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best Celebrity Bikini Photos!


1. Interval Training Is More Effective Than Straight Up Cardio

You won’t find Saldana sweating it out on a treadmill for hours at a time. "Between travel, meetings, and shoots, schedules are rough for me. I try to work out three times a week, but I don't believe in getting on one machine for 30 minutes,” she told Shape. “If I do a lot of cardio, it usually just means I'll be dragging my feet for the rest of the day. And when I'm shooting, I really don't like to be strict with my workout, since I'm already putting in 16-hour days. So I do 20-minute intervals either at the gym or at home, where I run in place for 30 seconds, then do squats, then carry a heavy medicine ball a few times in a row until I get my heart rate up."

2. It’s All About Balance

Zoe, who was diagnosed with Hashimoto's thyroiditis in 2012, believes that a healthy diet is a balanced diet. "Once you know better, you can't not care," she explained to Shape about her devotion to healthy living. While she still indulges in wine or cookies on occasion, she adheres to the 80-20 approach. “I don't believe in cheat days because I don't believe in diets,” she explained. “I try not to deprive my body of anything, because the moment I have just salads and protein for a few days, I crave carbs. But when I eat everything in balance, I think less about food and more about everything else. It's about eating to live, not living to eat."

3. Skip a Workout? Eat Healthier

If you can’t get your regular workout in, simply make up for it with your diet. "I can't work out regularly, so I compensate by eating a lot healthier than I might otherwise,” she explained to Shape. “Once you have relatively healthy eating habits, your workout can become playing with your kids, strolling around the neighborhood, playing airplane, or just changing diapers."

4. Eat As Clean As Possible

Zoe makes it a point to eat as clean as possible. "If my husband and I had different professions, where we didn't need to shop in supermarkets and could live more naturally, we could eat more sustainably. I grew up partially in the Dominican Republic, and I remember what eating was like when my grandma would pick herbs from her garden and we'd get seafood that had been caught that morning. Life was very simple and much healthier. It's not that I like to eat superlight, just superclean. I like food that is fresh. I don't go for things that come in can—and I'm losing trust in things that come in plastic,” she explained to Shape. “So if I have to pay more to eat better, then I'll just balance my checkbook better. For example, I'd rather get the dark chocolate with goji berries than the milk chocolate packed with saturated fat.”

5. Eat More Veggies

Zoe encourages a plant-focused diet, revealing that she and her husband and children are “starting to move in the direction of becoming a vegetarian family.” She explained to Shape that “society has a very violent, dysfunctional, and wrong relationship with how we cultivate and produce meat.”

6. Do Yoga

“I like feeling that I’m giving myself—my body, my spirit, my mind—the attention it needs,” Zoe told Women’s Health about her motivation to do yoga. “I often take for granted how helpful stretching and breathing exercises are,” she says. “Yoga reminds me to breathe and slow down.” The key for her is being intentional and pushing her body in some way.

7. Two of Her “Secret Weapons” to Looking Great

Want to look amazing in a jiffy? Zoe revealed to The Zoe Report that she has two “secret weapons” that reap immediate benefits. “Drinking lots of water and getting sleep,” she divulged.

8. Invest in An Instapot

When asked by The Zoe Report if she had a “stress saving luxury,” she revealed it wasn’t an expensive eye cream or beauty treatment, but a popular cooking gadget that did the trick. “The Instapot! I can make quick and healthy delicious meals for my family, it saves me a ton of time,” she explained.

In an Instagram post captioned, “Blink Twice in theaters August 23rd 🌴,” Zoë Kravitz absolutely stuns in her chic black gown that fits her body like a glove. The American actress broke into the Hollywood scene, known for her roles in X-Men: First Class, the Fantastic Beasts series, Divergent, Big Little Lies, and Mad Max: Fury Road to name a few. Her impressive career aside, she focuses a lot on health and wellness, prioritizing her well-being. What does she do to stay fit and healthy? We did some digging to find out.


1. She includes floor exercises

Zoë always makes time for floor exercises, including anything from leg workouts, sit ups, and even good old-fashioned stretching. “I've worked with a lot of trainers over the years for shows and films, so I know enough about fitness to do things on my own at this point,” she said.

2. She squeezes in a workout

Regardless of how busy she is, she always prioritizes squeezing in a workout. “I'll go late at night, like 10 p.m. I think it helps me sleep, and it's very important to sweat and move your blood,” she told Harper's Bazaar. “My gym in Brooklyn is really small, and I'll just go on the elliptical for 30 minutes, long enough to work up a sweat, and then I'm good.”

3. She drinks plenty of water

Zoë works hard to avoid processed foods, and keeps her body healthy with supplements and by hydrating. According to the Cleveland Clinic, “the National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine recommends the following for daily fluid intake: 125 ounces (3.7 liters) for males and 91 ounces (2.7 liters) for females. But here’s the thing: Consider those numbers a starting point.” Professionals say you need to factor in your diet, metabolism, location, size, physical activity and health.

4. She includes supplements into her diet

In addition to focusing on avoiding processed foods and staying hydrated, she takes supplements to maintain her health, as well, like probiotics and fish oil. According to the Cleveland Clinic, “proponents claim that fish oil can lower your risk of heart disease by decreasing blood pressure and cholesterol. That’s because fish oil supplements are a pill form of omega-3 fatty acids, which have been studied for decades and have proven benefits for heart health.”

5. She eats healthy

When it comes to eating habits, Zoë really focuses on making healthy choices. She goes for a lot of vegan, wholesome options majority of the time. “I try to be conscious about where it's coming from,” she said about her food.

Eva Longoria is kicking off the new year by taking shots—wellness shots that is. In a new Instagram video the actress and entrepreneur shares the exact recipe to her go-to health cocktail. “Let’s take shots! (wellness shots) 🥤 There are many variations on the recipe out there, so just do what works for you! Enjoy!” she captioned the clip, demonstrating exactly how to make the drink. Read on to learn how to make Eva Longoria’s wellness shot and learn about the other ways she 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. Eva Longoria’s Wellness Shot

There are just a few ingredients in Eva’s wellness shot: An Orange, “an inch” of ginger, lime, lemon, honey, turmeric, and half teaspoon of cayenne pepper. “Take the skin off all ingredients,” she instructs. Next, add everything but the cayenne to the blender and blend. After, add cayenne. Now, take the liquid and run it through a strainer to remove the pulp, mixing it while you are straining to extract all the liquid. Pour it in a glass. “Should I add tequila? It’s probably not a wellness shot if we add tequila,” Longoria jokes.

2. The Secret to Eva’s Hot Body Success? Diet and Exercise

There is no secret to getting into shape, per Eva. "Especially as you get older, people want to know the secret to looking good and there is no secret. It's diet and exercise," she told Vogue Australia. "People say they eat well but they don't exercise. Or they run 20 miles a day but they can't lose weight. You have to do both."

3. She Tries Different Workouts

"I do a lot. I'm a runner, I do yoga, I do pilates, I do SoulCycle and I'm just constantly mixing it up," she explained to People. She also loves jumping on her trampoline, taking classes virtually at The Ness using her JumpSport trampoline.

4. She Eats Lots of Fruits and Veggies

Eva maintains a mostly plant-based diet. "After I run, I eat probably the same thing every morning, which is egg whites with spinach and turkey bacon," she dished to The Cut. "I could easily be a vegetarian because I love vegetables so much and I feel like L.A. is a place that can support healthy living," she added to InStyle. "I love cooking with vegetables and I have a secret for cooking with vegetables, [which] is that they don't need a lot. A lot of people cover them in cheese or cover them in a sauce, and vegetables really only need olive oil."

5. She Meditates

Eva is big on meditation. “Well at least I know where my third eye is……,” she captioned a recent photo of herself while striking a yoga pose.

6. She Runs

Eva is an avid runner, sharing photos from her adventures on social media. “When you’re mid-run but the scenery is too cute not to get a pic,” she captioned a recent image.

Sofia Vergara is a lot of things. She’s an actress, known for her roles in projects like Modern Family and Hot Pursuit. She’s a spokeswoman, appearing in commercials for L’oreal and Head and Shoulders. And she’s a judge on America’s Got Talent, which is about to premiere its newest season. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 7 ways Sofia Vergara 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’s Passionate About Wellness

Vergara opened up about her wellness in an interview with Shape. She says that staying healthy is extremely important to her. “Everyone knows that I’ve never been into working out,” Vergara says. “I was always very happy with what I have. Then I hit 40 and I started seeing a softness everywhere on my body."

2. She Balances Her Diet And Workout

Vergara tells Shape that she makes sure to eat healthy. However, she admits that she likes to indulge once in a while. Luckily, Vergara has a secret to avoid this. "When I do indulge, I exercise a bit harder the next day. My workout motto is really simple: No pain, no cake!"

3. She Eats A Healthy Breakfast

In 2015, Vergara broke down her daily routine in an interview with Glamour. She says that she makes sure to eat a healthy breakfast. “I grab a quick breakfast. I usually prepare it the night before. One of my favorites is a kind of homemade muesli made of Greek yogurt, oats, chia seeds, nuts, and blueberries."

4. She Loves Pilates

Vergara is a big fan of Pilates. She tells Glamour, "After a quick lunch, I'll start a workout. My go-to workout is a Pilates workout on the Lagree Fitness Megaformer machine.” Better Health states that Pilates has a lot of benefits. “Pilates can be an aerobic and non-aerobic form of exercise. It requires concentration and focus, because you move your body through precise ranges of motion. It requires concentration in finding a centre point to control your body through movement. Each exercise has a prescribed placement, rhythm and breathing pattern.”

5. She Goes To Spin Classes

Vergara tells Glamour that she makes sure to do some cardio workouts. “I also mix in spinning classes for cardio a couple of times per week,” she says. According to bhLiveActive, spinning has a lot of benefits. “Spinning is perfect if you are recently recovering from an injury or surgery or just need to take things a little more gently. Don’t get us wrong, you can still get a great workout, but as the bike is stationary there is no risk that you will come off or collide with another cyclist. It also means you can focus on what really matters in class, working towards your fitness goals. If you are unsure whether a Spin class would be suitable for you, get in touch with us, and we can answer any queries you may have. Be sure to arrive early to your first class so that instructor can set you up on the bike safely.”

6. She Works With A Trainer

Vergara works with trainer, Jennfier Yates, to help her stay in shape. Yates talked about what she does with Vegara in an interview with Marie Claire. "Typically, if we have a good filming schedule where she has availability, we'll work out between 5-7 days, which is a lot. But she takes a lot of time off when she's busy.”

7. She Takes Breaks

Yates tells Marie Claire that Vergara takes days off from working out. "It's fine to give yourself a break—your body comes back stronger. You have to let your body rest, even if you're working out a few days during the week. That's why we rotate with Sofia. We have days in between when she rests. If you exhaust the muscles, you're more prone to getting injured."

Jessica Alba is taking advantage of the summer heatwave sweeping Southern California by getting into a swimsuit and enjoying a fun-filled pool day. Alba, 42, shared rare pictures of herself soaking up the sun in a black bikini, lounging by the pool and snacking on shrimp salad in the beautiful fresh air. “Pool day vibes,” she captioned the post. “Looking good!” a fan commented. So how does she do it? Here are 10 ways Alba stays toned, healthy, beautiful, and strong.


1. Eggs and Protein Shakes

Jessica,Alba,At,The,2019,Baby2baby,Gala,Presented,By,PaulShutterstock

Alba starts her mornings with plenty of protein to fuel the day. “I love avocado toast and poached eggs. That’s my favorite breakfast. I like to make a protein shake,” she says. “And I make sure there’s plenty of fat in there with almond butter. Then I’ll use Zico coconut water. Depending on whether or not I want a chocolate one or plain one, sometimes I’ll put fruit in it. The kids love it! I like to get them shakes so I can get some protein in them. Chocolate, coconut, almond butter shakes with banana butter!”

2. Working Out With Friends

Los,Angeles,-,Nov,12:,Jessica,Alba,Arrives,For,Baby2babyShutterstock

Alba loves working out with friends and family. “I really like taking group classes, or I like to work out with friends,” she says. “I like high-intensity workouts; I like moving around a lot. I don’t like a lot of repetition. I like Spin classes, depending on the teacher and the playlist. I do like hot yoga classes, if it’s done at a good pace. I prefer it mixed in with light weights, so like a sculpting hot yoga class. I’ll always work out with a friend because it’s more fun.”

3. Holistic Health Benefits

Alba appreciates both the mental and physical benefits of regular exercise. “For me, the benefits of exercise are more mental than physical,” she says. “Working out takes away that little edge so that I feel happier and more productive, and my brain can get kick-started… As I’ve gotten older and after I became a mom, it became more of a priority to be healthy for the right reasons. It’s more important to have a balanced approach instead of trying to be perfect.”

4. Fat-Burning Diet

Los,Angeles,-,Aug,11:,Jessica,Alba,Arrives,For,TheShutterstock

Alba adapts a stricter diet when she’s trying to lose fat. “With exercise, I get a little more toned and I definitely feel stronger, but my diet is much more important if I’m trying to slim down,” she says. “In that case, I usually don’t eat gluten, dairy, fried foods or processed foods. I try to stick to a diet that’s low in sugar and carbs, and high in lean proteins and vegetables.”

5. Loving Her Body

Jessica,Alba,At,The,2018,Baby2baby,Gala,Held,At,TheShutterstock

Alba embraces everything her body provides for her, and has learned to appreciate her curves. “I love my shape because it does what I want it to,” she says. “If I want to go on a hike or a bike ride or go for a swim, I know my body will do everything I tell it to. I also appreciate that I can push myself through when I’m feeling tired. There’s always a little extra something to get me past the tired moments.”

6. Good Sleep

Alba swears by sleep for health and beauty. "Obviously having great beauty products and sleeping really helps,” she says. “But you do have to, I think, practice those holistic things that make you healthy, otherwise it doesn't really matter what kind of cream or makeup you have."

7. She’s a Sun-Worshipper

Alba loves spending time outdoors in the sunshine. “I know the sun is not good for the skin,” she says. “I know, but I just love it! I just love being out in nature. I love taking hikes. I love all the beaches… I will wear a hat and I will absolutely wear sunscreen, but I don’t stay out of the sun… Growing up in entertainment, there’s so much emphasis on appearance and trying to fit some mold that feels on trend… of what you should look like or not look like or what is beautiful. And I really feel like the more I worked on myself and I felt confident in my own skin, that’s when I felt the most beautiful.’

8. Simple Beauty Routine

Alba does what she calls a 10-minute face when she’s enjoying down-time at home with her family. “Around the house, I do a 10-minute face,” she says. “It just makes me feel better looking at my reflection. That’s kind of my jam — just something quick and easy. If I’m going to really try, I’ll do my hair. But usually I just let it air-dry. I’m using the new Honest Beauty tinted moisturizer that has protection from the blue light of screens and devices. Then a blush, mascara, and a lip balm.”

9. Confidence In Herself

Shutterstock

Alba loves that she now has control over her image. "After I had my kids and started Honest, I think I sort of fell into the groove of being comfortable with myself in a different way,” she says. “The entertainment industry is a very difficult place to have a strong sense of confidence. Before the internet, magazine editors and journalists had control over how people saw me. However someone wanted to sell me to their audience is how I was portrayed. It wasn't until social media that I felt empowered to take control of my own narrative and my own image. I get to be my own megaphone—everything feels connected. Before, I think I just felt really disconnected from my own image."

10. Alba’s Beauty Tips

Alba’s beauty and wellness tips are all about hydration and good food. “I think staying hydrated is really important,” she says. “So, just making sure you do stay hydrated for glowing skin and high energy. It’s important for overall health. And I think making sure that you make the right choices in terms of your environment. Always try to have as many fresh and natural things in your diet as possible and the least amount of processed things and things that have unnatural sugars.”

Sharvari isn’t just making waves in the film industry—she’s dominating the fitness game too. Known for her roles in Munjya, Maharaj, and Vedaa, the rising star proves that strength and discipline extend far beyond the big screen.
In her latest Instagram post, Sharvari showcased her grit with a hardcore beach workout, flipping a massive tire in the sand. Dressed in a sleek black workout set, she didn’t just make the workout look effortless—she made it look empowering. Adding a playful pun to her caption, she wrote, “Never tyre’d of a good beach workout.”
So, how does she stay in such incredible shape? From strength training to boxing, here’s a look at her go-to fitness moves.

She Strength Trains

In her Instagram post, Sharvari is seen doing a strength training exercise. 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. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age.”

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. Not to mention, it’s a fantastic way to burn calories.”

She Boxes

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.”
