Ivana Knoll is sharing a swimsuit selfie! In a new social media post the World Cup's "sexiest fan" shows off her gorgeous body in a bathing suit, shooting a video in the mirror. "Gorgeous," one of her followers commented on her popular Instagram post. "You can move those hips," added another.
Ivana is always down to go jet skiing, which is not only a fun watersport, but per Health Fitness Revolution, the average 150-pound rider will burn a surprising 238 calories during a half-hour ride. The sport is also great for cardiovascular endurance.
In a recent post Ivana showed off her paddleboarding skills. According to The American Council on Exercise (ACE) paddle boarding is great for the core and also a great form of cardio. 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.
It's obvious what Ivana's go-to sport is. "What is your favourite sport? You know mine," she captioned a post this year of herself kicking around a ball. Mercedes Carnethon, MD, told the American Heart Assocation that soccer is a great workout for many reasons. "It is a game of continuous running and with very little stopping," said Carnethon, an associate professor of preventive medicine at Northwestern University in Chicago. "It also has anaerobic elements – that high intensity where you're sprinting and then resting – you're constantly moving." Sports researcher Peter Krustrup, who has spent more than 15 years studying the health benefits of soccer, added that recreational-level play and soccer-related exercise drills can help reduce cholesterol and blood pressure. Soccer also can help shift body composition by decreasing fat and increasing lean muscle.
"I enjoy dancing, not just in sake of having a fit body, but also for its calming impact on me. Consequently, I will probably dance as much as I could until the pageant, in order of reaching mentioned state of calmness and restlessness," she tells Angelopedia.
Ivana makes sure to hydrate. 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.

Alexis Loomans is wearing her Miss USA swimsuit. In a new social media post, Miss Wisconsin models the exact bathing suit she rocked during the pageant earlier this year. Shop the swimsuit I wore at Miss USA," she captioned the Instagram snap. "How are you even real?" commented a follower. "Just got mine!" joked her boyfriend, Florida Gators Quarterback Graham Mertz.
Alexis does a lot of cardio to keep her figure trim. In a TikTok video detailing her "model workout," she reveald that she starts her workout by walking on the treadmill for 45 minutes at 5.0 miles per hour. Then she runs for 10 minutes at 6.5 mph.
After her cardio workout, Alexis does strength training exercises. She starts with a leg circuit, doing 45 reps per exercise. She follows it with an ab circuit, again doing 45 reps per exercise.
Alexis is a coffee drinker. Why should you drink a cup daily? The Cleveland Clinic explains that 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.
Alexis also plays tennis. "Making plays out of town like I'm Jordan," she joked in a recent caption. According to ACE Fitness the sport 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.
Alexis enjoys 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.

My Norwegian Holiday star Rhiannon Fish took a break from filming Christmas content over the summer to enjoy the beautiful surroundings of Honolulu, Hawaii. Fish, 32, shared pictures of herself from an impromptu photoshoot taken in the surf, posing in a white bikini in the water. "Excuse me girl ???? You look AMAZING OMG," a fan commented.
Fish once chose to live on less than $2 a day for charity Live Below The Line, subsisting on a bag of oatmeal a day. "I am absolutely honored to be a part of such a truly wonderful and relevant cause," she says. "In life, I think it is incredibly important to take the time to put things into perspective and never take anything for granted. I believe that challenges such as Live Below The Line will help all of its participants, including myself, to have a greater understanding of what a day in the life of someone living in extreme poverty must be like. There is no reason for any human being to suffer in extreme poverty, especially when our generation can end it."
Fish has good advice for young actors. "You can never give up," she says. "I was told no so many times, went to so many auditions and often got close to getting the part but it often came down to simple things like having the wrong hair color or simply the other girl was better and you just can't let that break you down. You have to be prepared to have people tell you no, and it sucks at the time but you take a deep breath, move on and try again. I think that that's important."
Fish is happiest when she can balance work and family. "The things that make me happiest are my family and my job. So in a perfect world I would be able to continue working and acting," she says. "[T]hat doesn't mean necessarily being in a huge blockbuster Hollywood film. I would honestly be happy doing a local play just around the corner as long as I was working and surrounded by my family and my friends. I think that that would be the perfect world for me."
Fish found making the switch from soaps to movies nerve-wracking. "There is something that is definitely more intimidating about film," she says. "Film almost seems timeless to me. There's something about a film that really feels set in stone and exists forever. Whereas if you are doing a soap opera like Home & Away it goes up for thirty minutes and you never see or hear of it again. So film feels very permanent and in a sense it makes you want to prep more. To sit back at the end of the day and say I did everything I could for that performance."
Fish started her career on Aussie soap Home and Away, and says the experience taught her a lot about healthy body image. "There's a lot of pressure on that show to look a certain way – and it doesn't come from the producers or any of the directors – but I find you enter the show and you're so young that you put a lot of pressure on yourself to think you have to look a certain way, and it's a matter of pulling yourself out of it and going 'no, that's stupid, you're a role model'," she says. "You need to be normal and look healthy and show other girls that that's the right thing to do."

Georgia Gibbs is sharing her "blessings" in her bathing suit. In a new social media post the model opens up about the changes in her life, showing off her gorgeous body in a swimsuit in the process. In her Instagram post she explains that she "spent so many years of my life fast forwarding to where I wanted to be," instead of focusing on the moment. "These are a few of the milestones in my life I completely missed focusing on the future instead of celebrating now, not to mention the daily wins, personal growth & emotional expansion that's gone ignored over the years, I believe this is my greatest triumph," she continued. "This has been my focus for a year and a half now & I hope you will join me. I don't want to waste another day looking to the future rather than seeing the blessings & personal wins in-front of me."
Georgia maintains a healthy diet. She starts her day with eggs, "poached is my favorite," she told Husskie. She snacks on dried mango or yogurt. "Lunch is usually a large salad with tuna, salmon or a poke bowl! I try and also drink at least 8 cups of water per day," she continued. "Dinner normally is a filet of some sort of fish with different sides – I'm currently loving sweet potato and asparagus! If I want something sweet, usually I go for dark chocolate or a cheeky glass of red wine. I eat just about everything but feel my fittest, most alert and healthy when I fill my body with a mixture of light proteins, grains and fruit/veg."
"I love boxing and Pilates, a mixture of high intensity and toning workouts are my favourite! It's great being able to use my wearables to monitor not just my heart rate but reps of each exercise too," she told Husskie.
Georgia's business partner, Kate Wasley, is also her fitness buddy. "Kate and I are both passionate about helping others reach their health goals and love supporting our community with their health journeys. We've been able to take our health and fitness goals to the next level, tracking our food and exercise with fitness tech and love how we can share our progress and support each other to stay motivated and confident, she says.
Georgia focuses on "inside-out beauty," which she explains is key. "Start by lowering inflammation, calming your nervous system and finishing with something that feels nourishing. This may look like taking my shoes off and going outside on the grass or the sand, having a stretch, walking or doing yoga. Then I finish with a fulfilling breakfast and all over face and body oil," she told Ocean Drive.
Georgia says that "taking time out for yourself" is key. "Doing something every day, whether it's just five minutes for you," she explained to Body + Soul. "Positive affirmations to tell yourself every day before bed, finding something you love about yourself and repeating that whenever you feel insecurity creeping in, holding a friend close and sharing how you're feeling really does help."

Penny Lane is one of the winners of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit's yearly contest: the SI Swim Search, for 2023. From the looks of a video she posted on Instagram in July, Lane is a great fit. In it, she is seen modeling in the SI Swim fashion show. She captioned the post, "Still pinching myself for waking down the @si_swimsuit runway! What a beautiful experience filled with so much positivity.
Lane shared some of her favorite wellness practices in this Instagram post. One thing she likes to do is meditate. The Mayo Clinic states that meditation has a lot of benefits. "Meditation can give you a sense of calm, peace and balance that can benefit both your emotional well-being and your overall health. You can also use it to relax and cope with stress by refocusing your attention on something calming. Meditation can help you learn to stay centered and keep inner peace."
Lane loves to swim to stay in shape. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself in the water. Lane shared a set of photos of herself snorkeling in the Palm Heights Grand Cayman. She captioned the post, "This was such an arm pinching moment. We were snorkelling around the coral Reef and this beautiful turtle came out of nowhere and swam with us."
Lane makes sure to workout on a regular basis. One thing she likes to do is do full-body workouts. She shared some of her favorite exercises in this video she posted on Instagram. In it, Lane is seen hanging from a bar pedaling her legs, leaning forward and back, using battle ropes, and doing arm and leg raises on a machine. She captioned the post, "Full body burn." Doing full-body workouts ensures that your entire body is challenged.
Swimming isn't the only thing Lane likes to do by the water. She also likes to go paddleboarding. Lane shared these photos on Instagram of herself paddleboarding in the Palm Heights Grand Cayman. Paddleboarding can help you build core muscles. The Mayo Clinic states that having a strong core is important. "Your core is the central part of your body. It includes your pelvis, lower back, hips and stomach. The stomach muscles sometimes are called abs. Core exercises train the muscles in your core to work in harmony. This leads to better balance and steadiness, also called stability. Stability is important whether you're on the playing field or doing regular activities. In fact, most sports and other physical activities depend on stable core muscles."
In her wellness Instagram post, Lane mentions that she eats locally sourced foods. According to Virtua Health, local foods have a lot of benefits. "The main health benefit of locally grown food is that it's fresher. Fruits and vegetables begin to lose their nutrients within 24 hours of being picked, so fresher produce is more nutritious. In addition, locally grown food is picked at its peak ripeness, when it's most dense with nutrients."

Dove Cameron is grateful – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the Descendents star thanks Reese Witherspoon for inviting her to perform at the Oscar winner's first Hello Sunshine Shine Away conference, wearing a bathing suit top while on stage. "sheesh !! thank you for having me @reesewitherspoon had so much fun singing some unreleased sad girl songs/a little jazz & talking about the album, what an honor," the singer and actress captioned the Instagram post. "Sexy," commented one of her followers, while supermodel Irina Shayk simply added a fire emoji.
Dove is a "fitness and health junkie," she told Women's Health. Her exercise routine consists of a mix of cardio, body-weight strength training, and a mix of Pilates, barre, and cycling classes. 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.
Dove doesn't skip breakfast. Avocado toast with salmon and a poached egg on top and flax seed oatmeal with flax seeds and chia seeds is her to-to meal, she told Delish. A protein-rich breakfast is a great way to fuel your body for success.
Dove's diet is all-around clean. She eats salmon with vegetables for lunch, followed by a dinner of chicken or fish with vegetables. "I tend to eat really clean, because I feel better when I do," she told Delish. Her guilty pleasure? "I really like British food. It's wholesome. I need hearty, carb-y food. I don't like sugar very much, but I like savory things like that."

Cameron is a baker, but keeps her goods healthy. "I'm a terrible person. I like to trick people into eating something and then later tell them it's healthy. Because otherwise, people are like, 'this tastes healthy,'" she told Delish. "You have to make a gluten-free, sugar-free, dairy-free lemon bar, not tell anyone there's anything different about it, and when they all love it, you tell them."

Stanford University volleyball player Elena Oglivie took full advantage of her summer free from sports and studies by traveling to beautiful Turkey. Oglivie shared highlights of her trip, including a gorgeous picture of her posing on a boat in a lilac bikini, against a background of ocean and skies. She also included a video of herself jumping off the boat into the ocean with a group of friends. "When in Turkey ?," she captioned the post. "I was waiting for this one," a friend commented.
Oglivie has been playing volleyball since she was a child. "I love this game," she says. "I started playing volleyball when I was 6 and had a lot of opportunities to play different positions, but it wasn't until I started playing with Ku'ikahi (Volleyball Club) that I switched over to outside hitter. That foundation has enabled me to be a better all around player. My coaches have always emphasized preparation, effort, a good attitude, and hard work can never be substituted."
Oglivie knows how important strength and muscle is for athletes. "I have strength and agility training on weekdays for my conditioning," she says. "I will admit I do find myself daily either playing, watching or thinking about volleyball. I balance it out by spending time with friends and family. I grew up playing multiple sports to include soccer, basketball, track and volleyball. I encourage others to try different things. I found that I love volleyball and it's an important part of my life. One of the best parts I enjoy about volleyball is bonding with my team and the trust we build from it. It has helped tremendously on the court."
Oglivie's pre-match rituals are usually listening to music and dancing to hype herself up. On her days off, she likes spending time with her friends watching movies. "Some people believe that taking a day off from exercise or any strenuous physical activity is akin to being lazy, but that simply isn't true," says Pete McCall, MS, CSCS. "While it is important to be physically active most days of the week, it is equally as important to give yourself and your body a break by making sure to schedule at least one day of complete rest from demanding physical activity every seven to 10 days."
Oglivie enjoys salami for a quick snack. "My favorite snack at home is salami and balsamic vinegar from Trader Joe's," she says. "It comes in a bottle and you pour it on the salami. I had it maybe two days ago. When we run out, I have to wait until we go back to the mainland. My go-to food places are Kozo Sushi (for) spicy ahi donburi, and Chili's explosion salad."
Oglivie thrived at Stanford. "I was most surprised about the amount of support there is for all athletes," she says. "Whether it's on the court, in the weight room, laundry room, or our academics advisors. The prestigious academics and competitive athletics really attracted me to Stanford. I wanted to be a part of a school and program with family values and diversity."

Kacey Musgraves is sharing about the realities of travel – in her swimsuit. In a hilarious new social media post, the country singer shows off her amazing body in a bathing suit while crossing off an experience on her bucket list. "POV Your first time at Blue Lagoon Iceland," she wrote on the Instagram Reel shared with her two million-plus followers.
Kacey exercises with celebrity trainer Erin Oprea, who told PureWow she works hard in the gym. "Kacey has worked her butt off and I couldn't be prouder of her. We've been able to keep her on track with the crazy schedule she's had over the last couple years," Oprea said.
"Some workouts that we've loved doing that can be done on the bus are Tabatas. I also love turning fitness into a game because why not make it fun but still challenging?" Oprea told PureWow. "Tabatas are a four-minute workout that involves 20-second bursts of exercise followed by 10 secs of rest for 8 rounds. You can do so much with it." Here is an example:
Round one: Pushups
Round two: Plank with chest taps
Repeat rounds one and two until you complete eight rounds.
Oprea also has Musgraves do a lot of squats. She even plays this Sumo Squat "game":
Complete ten small sumo squat jumps (a sumo squat is just like a regular squat but your stance is wider than hip-width and feet and knees are pointing outward )
Hold your squat for ten seconds in the down position
Complete nine sumo squat jumps
Hold in the down position for ten seconds
Complete eight sumo squat jumps
Hold in the down position for ten seconds and repeat this formula until you get down to a single rep.
Kacey follows Oprea's 4 x 4 diet, "a clean, healthy, balanced lifestyle so that they can still enjoy the foods they love, but in moderation." She is allowed to drink alcohol, except in the week leading up to an award show. "I'm not saying you can drink as much alcohol as you want, but I try to limit them to two drinks a week, which a lot of people are like, 'Oh jeez! I need wine every night, that's bologna!' But literally you can do that."

Jena Sims Koepka is a lot of things. She's a former pageant contestant. She has her own charity, Pageant Of Hope. She's a fashion designer. And she's a model, who recently won Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Search. Koepka shared a new reel on Instagram celebrating her achievement. In them, she is seen in different swimsuits, including a black one with the word "Rookie" on it. Koepka captioned the post, "Thank YOU for the votes, the support, the reshares, even the hate. It all counted ? WE DID IT BABY!!! Beyond honored to be named one of the first rookies for the 60th anniversary issue of @si_swimsuit alongside my fellow Swim Search winners."
Koepka shared some of her favorite workouts in an interview with FOX News. She says that she likes to weight train to help her stay in shape. "I want loud music, heavy weights," Koepka explained. "For my body type, I like to lift weights because I don't need to do a lot of cardio. I find that lifting weights has been the most beneficial."
Koepka tells FOX News that she also likes to take fitness classes to help her stay in shape. "My favorite type of workout is F45. It's just a 45-minute class. And I think I like it so much because they play amazing music and it's so loud. I'm not a calm, soothing Pilates, yoga princess. I'm like, 'Scream at me.' I want to be dripping sweat."
Koepka tells FOX News that she works hard, despite what others might think. "I think the biggest misconception is that I don't work," she said. "And that couldn't be further from the truth. It's funny, I have some people telling me, 'You need to just subdue yourself…' And then I have other people going, 'She doesn't work, she just wants to spend his money.' And I'm like, 'Y'all have no idea.' I've been working hard. I've supported myself as an actress in LA for all of my 20s. I've probably shot over 200 TV commercials since moving to Florida. I work as an influencer on Instagram. I know people might not consider that to be a job, 'cause I don't sit behind a desk all day. But it's a job. I make great money."
Koepka spends a lot of time outside. One thing she does to stay in shape is going skiing. Koepka shared these photos on Instagram of herself, her husband, and his brother skiing in Big Sky. The Canadian Ski Association states, "It's well documented that skiing and snowboarding benefits cardiovascular health, overall fitness, strength, coordination, balance and more. 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."
Through her organization, Pageant Of Hope, Koepka seeks to empower other women who compete in pageants. "When you lose a pageant, you feel like a failure," she tells FOX News. "And then when you win a pageant, you're on top of the world. So I created a pageant where there aren't any losers. Everyone leaves a winner… I've been touched by how excited these kids get when they're crowned. And when we do our mini makeovers, we teach self-confidence, inner beauty. But we also make them feel beautiful on the outside as well. Everyone deserves to feel beautiful. And you can see them come out of their shells. Their postures change. They're striking poses at the end of the day."

Rebekah Vardy is living her best life in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! and Dancing on Ice WAG shows off her amazing body in a bathing suit. "As I am," she captioned the Instagram Stories image.
Rebekah keeps her diet simple but healthy. "The key is to make things as easy as possible, so don't feel worried about using frozen vegetables, canned fruits and relying on wholemeal toast and baked beans to get you through," she dished to The Sun. "If you find a recipe you love in the plan, repeat it. Don't feel you have to do different meals all the time.
"I try to eat in a way that benefits my general health and lifts my mood. I stick to a simple rule — eat more real food more often," Rebekah added to The Sun. "I try to eat naturally, with less processed food and sugary junk."
Rebekah snacks on fruit, yogurt, seeds, nuts and oats. "Slow-release energy foods keep my moods on a good level all day and hunger pangs to a minimum. Stick to a handful as a good portion guide. Snacking on bumper-size packs will send calories soaring," she tells The Sun.
Rebekah also drinks a lot of water. "It may be boring but drink plenty of water. Dehydration can add to feeling stressed and down. If you are breastfeeding, drink before, during and after feeding to keep topped up. Remember hydration is important for everyone, not just breastfeeding mums. To make it more interesting, add fruit to your water. I like lemon," she told The Sun. 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.
"Exercise is a real stress reliever for me, whether it's going to the gym or out for a walk with the kids and dogs," Rebekah told The Sun in another interview. "I find exercising early in the morning works best for me as it gives me an energy boost for the day." When it comes to my body, I exercise to keep toned. My thighs, bum and tummy want to be wobbly so even though I don't care about being slim any more, I do try and keep the jiggle under control."
