Denver Broncos cheerleader Berkleigh Wright isn't ready to say goodbye to summer (or her swimsuits) just yet. The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit finalist took some time off from her busy schedule as an account manager and professional NFL cheerleader to get some R&R at the Clayton Members Club & Hotel in Denver. Wright shared pictures of herself posing in a white one-piece swimsuit, with a white shirt and straw hat. "Summer's not over until Clayton says it's over ☀️," she captioned the post.
Wright starts the day with a cup of matcha green tea to wake up and hit the ground running. "I'm all about the look good, feel good, work good vibes," she says. "I always like to wake up and do my full skincare [routine], put on a fresh face and make sure that I'm setting myself up for success and a productive day."
Wright was a finalist in the Sports Illustrated Swim Search competition (no surprise there!). "I took this leap of faith because I feel that Sports Illustrated [Swimsuit] is a world-class organization that embodies everything I strive to be as a woman," she says. "It extends beyond beauty: they stand for being a strong individual with depth, brains, kindness and integrity. A brand that celebrates everyone's differences, exhibiting that our imperfections are what makes us beautiful. SI Swim helped me embrace those ideals in myself, and now I strive to imprint that mindset in others."
Like a true Colorado girl, Wright is at home on the slopes. "It's well documented that skiing and snowboarding benefits cardiovascular health, overall fitness, strength, coordination, balance and more," says the Canadian Ski Council. "Regardless of your health and fitness goals, strapping on a pair of skis or a snowboard is sure to fulfill some of them. Due to the versatility of skiing and snowboarding, it can encompass the benefits of a cardio workout, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) session, and strength training session, all in one fun activity."
Wright's advice she would give her younger self is all about self-love and confidence. "Listen to your heart. If something is on it, it is there for a reason. Some things are only meant to be in your life for a reason or a season. Letting them go with grace will make room for what is meant to stay. Find your people and hold them close. Kindness is cool. Your authentic, genuine, weird and quirky self is the MOST beautiful thing you can be."
Wright wants to use her platform with the Denver Broncos and Sports Illustrated to be a role model for younger women. "Winning SI Swim Search to me means being a part of something bigger than myself," she says. "Being a member of the Sports Illustrated family and having this powerful platform would help me further myself as a mentor and reach a wider audience of our youth. A mentor that demonstrates to our younger generation that you are not limited by your external factors, but rather unlimited by the person you can become from the inside out."

Miss Universe 2022 RBonney Gabriel is singing the praises of Honduras after enjoying a cruise vacation in the beautiful country. Gabriel, 29, shared pictures of her trip on Instagram, highlighting the beauty of Roatan's stunning sea and skies. The model posted snaps of herself looking gorgeous in a blue one-piece cut-out swimsuit, lounging on a deck and enjoying delicious food and drinks with friends. "Almost missed our call time to get back on the ship because I did not want to leave this beautiful place ??," she captioned the post.
Gabriel works out with a trainer and lifts heavy weights, and eats the same thing every day. "Every day I have oatmeal and two eggs in the morning," she says. "And then lunchtime is shrimp and green beans. And then there's a snack in between. There are rice cakes – I always have rice cakes in my purse or my car… And then dinner is salmon and veggies. I stay consistent with that almost every day… Even when I was traveling somewhere, I would meal plan and bring [my food] on the plane in a big cooler."
Gabriel takes great pride in being a role model for younger Filipino-Americans. "I'm actually the first Filipina American Miss USA and since I won, there are little girls that message me, they say they see themselves in me," she says. "I need girls to believe in themselves, and diversity just makes every[body] feel seen 'cause we all wanna feel seen and heard at the end of the day."
Gabriel had to get used to using industrial amounts of self-tanner when taking part in the pageant. "I use self-tanner, which is something that was kind of new to me before pageants," she says. "When you put a fake spray tan on, if you wash your body or if you shower, it comes off. So during the competition, it's two weeks long. I get my spray tan right before I check in. I want to preserve it all the way until finals two weeks later. I only showered a few times, which is kind of gross If you think about it because we're beauty queens. We're supposed to be so clean and glamorous. But by the time finals come around, I feel so dirty because I've only showered a few times. I'm really trying to preserve my spray tan."
Gabriel is allowing herself some rest and relaxation after winning the competition. "My current version of self-care is treating myself to pizza and ice cream," she says. "When my life gets more stable, self-care will involve going for walks in the morning, doing yoga, and journaling. I keep a journal with me wherever I go and like to write down five things I'm grateful for, no matter how hectic my schedule is. That keeps me centered."
Gabriel's passion for fashion started at a young age. "I loved looking at Vogue magazine and seeing the creative editorials," she says. "I also grew up going to the thrift store with my mom. I would find vintage pieces, and my mom would take them home and make new pieces for me. One time we purchased a puffy purple dress. It was an adult size, but she transformed it into my Halloween costume. Seeing her transform that piece inspired me, and I started making my own pieces. I fell in love with working with my hands and making something my own."

Lis Vega is motivating her followers – in her swimsuit. In a recent social media post the Cuban actress and singer flaunts her amazing body in a bathing suit top while sharing a motivational message with fans. "What are you going to do today with what you have, to continue learning, to follow your purpose, transcend and reach the hearts of others ???♾️ WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TODAY FOR YOU!" she captioned the Instagram post. "Wow," commented one of her followers.
Lis maintains a healthy, gluten-free diet. She starts her day with a bowl of gluten-free oatmeal with scrambled egg whites with corn. Lunch is a chicken breast with whole wheat pasta. Three things she avoids? White flour, gluten, and canned food.
Lis relies on strength training to keep her in shape. She shares photos and videos of her gym sessions on social media, which consists mostly of primarily weight and strength training. She also isn't afraid of lifting heavy weights, which help build and tone her muscles. Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.
Lis spends a lot of time dancing, and loves sharing videos on social media. Dancing is a great workout for many reasons. Not only does it build strength and promote flexibility, but helps you lose weight and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.
Lis also does a lot of cardio, including spinning on a bike. "It not only helps tone legs and glutes, but also helps you tone The torso and the limbs superior so it's a very thorough exercise. It serves as both to burn fat, or to improve physical and cardiovascular condition," she captioned the post. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.
Lis advocates self-love and acceptance. "Do not look for your ideal body in other people's bodies, build yours, become your greatest pride, love the process and listen to your inner voice saying YOU CAN, one more day," she wrote in a post, urging her followers to exercise to take care of their mental, emotional, and physical health. "Create habits that nourish you daily and raise your frequency," she added.

Miley Cyrus might have evolved from being a TV star, but she still knows how to take an amazing picture. Cyrus, 30, shared a dramatic photo of herself on social media, posing in a gold one-piece swimsuit against a background of a swimming pool, ocean, and palm trees. "You broke your own heart but you'd never say that," she cryptically captioned the post. "My goodness you look gorgeous and you know it," a fan commented.
Cyrus loves working out, treating it as a fun activity rather than a chore. "My physical appearance is always an extension of my creativity," she says. "I am very literal when it comes to externally representing the 'era'. Outside of music, physical fitness is my most passionate creative outlet. I find so much fun in choreographing my workouts. I think there is a greater chance of maintaining a fitness commitment if you don't think of it as work but as play."
Cyrus is diligent about taking care of her skin—and admits she hasn't always got it right. "I'm so obsessed with being clean," she says. "My skin was always so bad that I felt like any time anyone else did my makeup it would just take me back. I think it's important for girls to just try and really take care of their skin and keep it clean." One thing she won't try again is dermaplaning. "You know that famous photo of Marilyn Monroe shaving her face? I tried that once because I felt like that was a beauty secret, and it was insane. Don't shave your face, ever. I walked out looking like my brother."
Cyrus learned beauty and style lessons while working on Hannah Montana. I learned about routine and dedication when it comes to skincare while on the set of Hannah Montana," she says. "It's so important to keep up with a consistent skincare routine, and to be dedicated in order to get the results you want. Wearing a wig on set taught me to respect drag queens at a very young age! The art of creating a glamorous alter ego and looking at wigs costuming and make up as more than just self-decoration, but also armor."
Cyrus has learned how important downtime and self care are for both her health and her looks. "I basically have it down to a science these days," she says. "Taking care of yourself from the inside out is so important. Your beauty routine is a form of self-love because it means you're taking time out of your day to check in with yourself, mentally and physically… I struggled with acne, triggered by juggling school, work, filming, not to mention all the stage makeup, when I was younger. I finally realized that something that works for someone else might not work for me, so I saw a dermatologist and learned that there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution to skincare."
Cyrus keeps her style incredibly simple when she's not working. "On my days off I am usually in all black; there is something classic [about it] – you could find a girl from each generation I've admired wearing something similar," she says. "I like that it's mysterious and doesn't draw too much attention to me. Then, when I am on stage, I use color and fabric to enhance the emotion of the music."

Ricki-Lee is steaming up Cabo San Lucas in one of her latest social media posts the New Zealand-born Australian singer shows off her swerving curves in a black bathing suit while vacationing at the ultra luxe Nobu Los Cabos resort. "Hola Mexico," she captioned the Instagram snap, getting flooded with comments by her followers. "Jessica Rabbit!" wrote one. "Hourglass," added another.
Ricki-Lee works hard for her body. "I'm not one of those girls who is naturally thin and can eat whatever I want. I am consistent with the food I eat day in day out and I work my ass off in the gym … literally!" she wrote on Instagram in 2015.
"I go through phases where I let go a little bit and relax my training and indulge in my guilty pleasures more than usual … we all do!" Ricki-Lee wrote in the same post. "And I think it's good for the soul to do that. But for the most part, my life is routine. I eat the same clean foods every day."
Ricki-Lee exercises almost every day. "I train hard 6 days a week," she wrote in her post. Physical activity is anything that gets your body moving. Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.
Ricki-Lee also reveals that she indulges. "I plan my 'cheat meals' and work hard to earn them and I savour every mouthful! And then I'm sweating it off the next day in the gym," she wrote in the post.
Ricki-Lee revealed her daily diet in an Instagram Story. She starts with a banana and coffee with soy milk and sugar for breakfast. Lunch is a bowl filled with carrot, hummus, cherry tomatoes, pickled onions and a can of tuna, seasoned with tablespoons of homemade ginger sauce. Dinner options include peanut butter chicken in lettuce cups or with broccoli, a Mexican chicken salad bowl with guacamole and hot sauce, grilled fish with salad or green vegetables, and sesame soy garlic chicken with broccoli.
"To keep it tight, up and perky you have got to put the work in," Ricki-Lee says about why she does a combination of high intensity workouts, lifting weights and plenty of squats, squat jumps and lunges. "One of my favourite's is a step-up into a reverse lunge," she said. "I really enjoy watching my body change as I work with weights or if I do more cardio. I find it fascinating."
"For me it's just about how I feel and when I go for a run or when I do an awesome workout, I feel strong, alive and awake," Ricki-Lee told News.com.au. "I feel like I can take on the whole world, that's why I eat healthy and that's why I workout — not for any other reason."

Kinsey Wolanski is happy to be home in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the helicopter pilot-slash-influencer shows off her incredibly fit figure in a bathing suit as she walks on the beach. "Finally after 3 weeks away I am back in Cali and so excited to have my routine," she shared with her 3.7 million followers.
In her Instagram post, Kinsey revealed that has been lifting weights for years and years." Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.
Recently, Kinsey found a more gentle exercise approach. "Now I'm a full Pilates girly and just tons of walking. Finally I feel my body responding the way I want, I have always been curvy and staying lean has always been a struggle but I am really happy with where I am at and loving my new routine," she said in the same post.
Kinsey is an adventurer and loves to hike. She recently took a trip to Patagonia and hiked in the snow. 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 certain respiratory problems
Kinsey loves snorkeling and free diving. "Yesterday I got to free dive with sharks and it was the most unreal experience," she captioned a post. Surprisingly, putting on a snorkel and fins and swimming through the water is a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.
Kinsey also surfs. "I prefer this life," she captioned an Instagram Reel of all the outdoor activities she loves, including surfing. According to the Australian government's Better Health, surfing provides many health benefits including cardiovascular fitness from paddling, shoulder and back strength, which also strengthens from the paddling, and leg and core strength. "Once you're standing up on the board, strong legs and a strong core will keep you up," they say.
One of Kinsey's go-to self-care rituals is taking baths. How can baths do your body and mind good? They have been linked to better sleep and even found helpful to minimize anxiety and depression. One recent study even found that they may even boast cardiovascular benefits.
Kinsey also does acro yoga. "Just messing around trying to learn some fun new skills. Acro requires you to be so balanced and calm but still flipping through the air….. a hard balance I'm still trying to master haha," she captioned a post. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. "Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood," they said. "People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating."

In one of her latest social media posts the beauty queen girlfriend of Florida Gators Quarterback Graham Mertz shows off her incredible body while frolicking in the ocean with her football stud."My ?!" Mertz commented on the Instagram video.
Alexis is a big fan of cardio. She starts her workout by walking on the treadmill for 45 minutes at 5.0 miles per hour, she shared in a TikTok video detailing her "model workout." Then she runs for 10 minutes at 6.5 mph.
Alexis follows her cardio workout with a variety of strength training exercises. She does a leg circuit, doing 45 reps per exercise. She follows it with an ab circuit, again doing 45 reps per exercise.
Alexis is all about the perks of coffee. On a recent trip to New York she held onto an iced coffee. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. "It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function," they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.
You can also find Alexis on the court — the tennis court that is. "Making plays out of town like I'm Jordan," she joked in a recent caption. According to ACE Fitness it blends together cardio and aerobic exercise, as there is a lot of running around, and hand-eye coordination. "While tennis provides numerous health benefits—improved aerobic fitness and anaerobic endurance, muscular fitness (grip strength and endurance), flexibility, multiple skill parameters (balance, speed, agility and quickness), reactivity, and power—it also is psychologically demanding," they say.
One of Alexis's favorite activities on vacay? Walking on the beach with her beau. 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.

Miss America 2016 Betty Cantrell is enjoying the sunset, sea, sand, and swimwear at the beach. Cantrell, 29, shared pictures of herself posing in a zebra-print bikini and holding a bright tote bag, earning her a chorus of admiration from fans. "Someone recently commented on one of my videos saying "you really are a Betty, tho"…and idk why, but I love that compliment ?," she captioned the post. "You could be a swimsuit model. Bikinis look so good on you! You're beautiful. Everything looks good on you," a fan commented.
Cantrell learned healthy habits from her family. "I grew up in a household where being healthy was everything," she says. "My dad is a nutritionist and both of my parents are physical therapists. We didn't have Pop-Tarts for breakfast, we had hard-boiled eggs … but I realized that not all children are fortunate enough to have parents who are able [to afford] to give them healthy foods."
Cantrell struggled to maintain a healthy diet while traveling for competitions. "I was traveling all the time and I couldn't always eat the healthiest option," she says. "[But] it's all about eating things in moderation. You can have some unhealthy things, but make sure you don't do it all the time. I was careful about what I ate, and I tried to eat every three hours to keep my metabolism flowing.
Cantrell works out with a trainer four times a week but loves being active as a lifestyle. "I need someone to push me a little bit more than I push myself," she says. "I did not grow up doing pageants. I grew up on a farm, driving tractors and rolling around in the mud with the dogs. I loved living out in the country, and being in pageants was the furthest thing from my mind. [But] when I got involved… I fell in love in with it."
Cantrell believes the Miss America pageant is all about celebrating health. "I think Miss America has always promoted a healthy body," she says. "That is what the lifestyle and fitness competition, more so than a swimsuit round, is there for: to promote healthy eating, being healthy in your own skin and feeling confident. And I feel like anybody should feel comfortable competing in the Miss America organization; I want anybody to feel comfortable competing in their own skin to be in a swimsuit, but especially with my platform of healthy eating and exercise, I think it's crucial Miss America always promotes healthy bodies. And as long as you're healthy, it doesn't matter what size you are."
Cantrell refuses to focus on clothing size, instead focusing on how she feels. "You don't need to be a size 0. You can be a size 12 and be perfectly healthy for your body and your BMI," she says. "It doesn't matter what you look like. It's about what your body is telling you… Last year my parents told me and my siblings they were getting divorced. That completely changed me mentally, but also affected me physically because I stress ate. When I was sad, I ate [bad] foods. It made me realize that if you're not mentally healthy and emotionally happy, that can affect you physically. It can affect your performance at school, your performance in athletics."

Mercedes Villador is living her best life at the ocean – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the former flame of singer Luis Miguel flaunts her model body in a bathing suit while frolicking on the shoreline. "I'm so very happy at the sea," the catwalk crawler captioned the Instagram post with her followers.
Mercedes enjoys taking walks on the beach. 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.

It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.
Mercedes understands the importance of hydration. During a recent trip to Miami Mercedes stayed at the ultra-luxe Setai. She shared lots of photos and videos of herself hydrating with water and also drinking straight out of a coconut. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.
During a recent vacation, Mercedes shared photos of herself on a variety of hikes. 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 certain respiratory problems
Mercedes also loves spending her vacations paddleboarding, which is great for the core and also a good form of cardio, explains The American Council on Exercise (ACE). The water sport can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140 pound male and 436 for a female the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.

Clarissa Molina is expressing her gratitude on her birthday – in her swimsuit. In one of her latest social media posts the Univision star shows off her amazing body in a bathing suit, while sharing a message with her fans."Thank you papa God for another year!. A new year, new things, new life, happiness!. Thank you God! Thank you all for your love and well wishes!" she captioned the Instagram post.
While preparing for Miss Universe, the Dominican celebrity exerted discipline to drop weight fast. "This super strict diet that I followed for almost two months helped me lose weight, 40 pounds. In Miss Universe I reached 115 pounds. Imagine yourself. A big difference," she explained in a video shared to Facebook. "Obviously this diet takes a lot of sacrifices, but the reward is good and the result is what you want at the end of the day, which is to lose weight and look spectacular." She added: "Obviously it was not easy. For me, the part of all the pressure that I had for Miss Universe was very difficult. It was in two months, I did not have a year to prepare. So that's why I had to make it very strict," she confessed. "I recommend that you do it exactly as I told you now and that you really want it. If possible. At the end of the day the important thing is how you feel."
Clarissa's diet started with breakfast, two egg whites, a small cup of 6 to 7 pieces of pineapple, and tea or coffee without sugar. She would also have green tea. For a snack, between breakfast and lunch, she would eat a green apple or six almonds, followed by a lunch of lettuce and tomato salad with a can of tuna with lots of lemon. "I tell you a can of tuna because it has more protein. In my case, when I made it I only ate half a can of tuna. But I recommend that you eat it completely," she said. For dinner, she would eat the remainder of the tuna with a salad of cucumber, tomato and lettuce".
Two months prior to the competition Molina went to extreme fitness measures and started working out three times a day. How often should you exercise? Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.
Clarissa also enjoys riding bikes in her free time. The Cleveland Clinic explains that cycling is a low-impact aerobic exercise, great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.
Clarissa is a fan of dancing, a great workout for many reasons. Not only does it build strength and promote flexibility, but helps you lose weight and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.
