It was definitely not a cold and frosty holiday season for Halle Berry, who spent the run up to Christmas in intense heat out in the desert. Berry, 57, shared a picture of herself posing by rocks in the sand, wearing a black one-piece swimsuit. "Couldn't hide these rocks ?," she captioned the post.
Berry (still!) swears by intermittent fasting for health and energy. "The first thing I take in the morning is vitamin A-D-K, fish oils, and collagen in my coffee," she tells Marie Claire. "Then, I take either Pendulum Metabolic Daily or Glucose Control supplements. Their probiotics have been really helping me heal some gut issues that I've had. I stopped eating breakfast over 20 years ago. Everybody needs to break their fast from the night at different times, and so I've learned to really listen to my own body and not follow those conventional thoughts that, 'Oh, breakfast is the best meal.'
The best meal is whenever you break fast. And for me, that's around 2:00 p.m. every day. I start off my morning with one cup of coffee, and that's all I'll have until 2 p.m. And I use hazelnut, like milked hazelnuts instead of any kind of milk, and I do a sugar substitute, and that gets me through."
Berry works out in the mornings after the school run. "I workout usually every day, or four days a week, sometimes five, depending, but usually four days a week," she tells Marie Claire. "My fitness routine changes. Some days it's more cardiovascular-heavy. Some days it's working with light weights. Sometimes it's calisthenics, sometimes it's yoga, sometimes it's Pilates. I just recently got a Pilate machine at home, which I love, love, love. Sometimes it's that. I just try to mix it up. I think our bodies get used to the same exercises. So for me, it's always been important to do different things all the time."
Berry lets herself indulge in non-healthy treats now and then. "I can enjoy a bag of salt and vinegar chips and a Diet Coke with the best of them," she tells The Kit. "It's important to have cheat days—days when you allow yourself to fall off the wagon. That's what helps me stay on my journey: not feeling pressure to be perfect, but to simply do my best."
Berry closes her eating window four hours after breaking her fast. "I eat my last meal around 5:30 p.m and by 6 p.m., I'm done eating," she tells Marie Claire. "So from 2:00 to 6:00 are the times that I eat food. When I'm winding down, I usually start with a glass of red wine. I found these wines by Dry Farms. They're a natural wine. They have a low sugar content and they're lower in alcohol, so it makes it an easier drinking wine. Heart disease runs in my family, and so my heart doctor's like, 'If you can have a glass of a natural red once a day, that's good for heart health.' So that's something that's not every night, but four times a week."
Berry appreciates compliments about her achievements more than her looks, which she feels she can't take as much credit for. "I probably don't think about it as much as maybe others do, actually," she tells PEOPLE. "I focus on so many other things in my life. So many other aspects of who I am get way more focus than what my physical self looks like. So it's not something I focus on… I love when someone says, 'You're a great mother,' or, 'You're a talented actress.' Those are the things that I appreciate more, because those are things I work very hard at every day. Physical beauty, I don't have much to do with that. We come here the way we all come here, and it's so subjective. What one thinks is beautiful, one does not. I, personally, don't spend that much time on that part of who I am."

Bregje Heinen spent her holidays getting engaged and wearing swimsuits. In a few new social media posts, the stunning model, who celebrated her engagement to The Vampire Diaries star Michael Trevino on Christmas Eve, looks incredible in a few bathing suits, driving her followers wild. "Literal dream girl," one of them commented. "Absolutely breathtaking," a second chimed in.
Bregje chalks her hot body up to genetics. "I don't really work out that much. I don't go to the gym," Heinen confessed to Huffington Post. "My mom is really skinny, too. I got it from her."
Heinen's main form of exercise is walking. "I do like to walk a lot. Mostly in New York. When I'm going somewhere, I'd rather just walk there," she says about getting her steps in. 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.
"I like to go dancing, maybe once every other week," Bregji told Into the Gloss about another calorie-blasting activity she enjoys. 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.
Bregje loves to order out. Her "favorite is Mexican takeout from Mad Dog & Beans," she said. "Right now, I'm trying to be healthier because I have a casting in four weeks so instead of takeout, I'll make chicken and vegetables. But I really love unhealthy food. Candy, chips, chocolate, everything…Sometimes my boyfriend and I will go to Shake Shack before we go out to a movie or something. So good."
Bregjie is all about supplements. "I also take a lot of vitamins for my hair. There's Ester-C and Fish Oil, and I also take Viviscal twice a day for my hair. It really makes your hair and your nails grow much faster, thicker, and stronger," she says.
Heinen told FOX News that she has started doing some other workouts. "I do a lot of boxing," she said. "Which is basically the only thing I enjoy, because I don't like the gym very much. It's good to find that one thing you do enjoy and really try to stick with that." She might also do strength training. "I'll also do some leg and ab exercises, along with cardio in between. So it's 15 minutes of boxing, another 15 for abs, and then another 15 for legs. It's getting a full body workout, while keeping it fun."

Brie Larson is posing in her wetsuit. In a recent social media post the 34-year-old actress shows off her incredibly fit figure while swimming in what looks like a cave. "Always practicing my posture," she captioned the Instagram photo. "Love you," commented one of her followers, while another called her a "Goddess."
Brie understands the importance of stretching. "Stretching is a huge part of exercise," she explained in a YouTube video. "This is great for mornings, before workouts, as you're winding down your day, or, if you're somebody like me who's spending the majority of their time at a desk looking at Zoom all day, it's good to incorporate a couple of stretches and be kind to yourself," she added. "Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints," says Harvard Health. "Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage."
Brie is a fan of celery juice. "I hold my stress in my stomach and this feels very soothing/healing in my opinion," she said in one of her Instagram Stories.
Brie is a fan of celery juice. "I hold my stress in my stomach and this feels very soothing/healing in my opinion," she said in one of her Instagram Stories.
While Brie focuses on fueling her body with the food it needs to sustain her hardcore workouts, she does allow herself cheat meals. Some of her favorites are soft pretzels and fried mozzarella sticks. "Ice cream, anyone?" she captioned a snap.
One way that Brie keeps exercise exciting is by trying unconventional workouts. "Even after years of training, I still try to find ways to get out of working out. Luckily @risemovement keeps me motivated by prefacing a new move with 'this will be fun,'" she captioned one of her Instagram posts. "My #AntiHero trait? Refusing conventional workouts," she captioned a video of herself pushing a cart with a lot of weight.
"Sauna, massage, nature" are three ways that Brie gets in her self-care time, she revealed a recent photo of herself during a wellness getaway at Wilderness Reserve. "Morning sweat session 101: must include selfies," she added in another recent snap, wearing a swimsuit in the sauna.
In 2023, Brie revealed that she was dancing a whopping seven hours per day. "Every day we'd get up at 5am to get to the studio by 7:30am. There, we'd work on building a dancer. Flexibility, strength, weight transfers, spirals, breath, fascia, rooting – my experience was expanding," Brie wrote in an Instagram caption. "Thank you to my body for growing with me!" Why is dancing great for your body? 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.

Amelia Hamlin is grabbing attention in her swimsuit. In a recent social media post the model flaunts her fit figure in a deep red bathing suit. "Hi," she captioned the sexy modeling pic. "Hi my youngest child," her mother, Lisa Rinna commented. "Beautiful angel," added another.
Amelia opened up about her eating disorder to Glamour. "When I first started struggling with anorexia, I loved when friends would comment on my weight. I have a distinct memory of running into a friend at the mall, right outside Victoria's Secret. She put her hand on my waist and was like, 'Oh, my God, Amelia, you're so skinny, you need to stop!" I loved those comments. They felt amazing, as psycho as that sounds. It was this feeling that fed my eating disorder," she said.
Amelia also has to treat an autoimmune disorder. "In the wake of my anorexia, I was diagnosed with Hashimoto's disease, an autoimmune disease that screws with your thyroid," she also told Glamour. "My body was reacting to being starved for so long. With Hashimoto's I'm going to have to take two pills every single morning as soon as I wake up, maybe for the rest of my life. Obviously that's not the worst thing in the world, but it's hard knowing I did this to myself."
"All of this has made it so important to me to nourish my body. I used to hear all the time, 'Your body is a temple!' but I really didn't care. I didn't care how many nutrients my body was getting," she told Glamour. "Learning about how to nourish my body and how to fuel my body with the foods that make my body happy and energized makes me feel good. Despite all the bullshit and the hard parts of recovery, that's been a really fascinating part of this journey: I've come out of it with such a different passion for health."
"She's the reason I am who I am. I am so lucky that that is the woman that raised me," Amelia told People about how her famous mom has influenced her. "To be exposed at such a young age to unapologetically love yourself with zero shame has just made me who I am today."
Amelia trains at The Dogpound, a bicoastal gym boasting strength training and HIIT style workouts. There is lots of research backing up the benefits of HIIT workouts, including body fat reduction, improved cardiovascular function, and mental health. It is also time effective.

Sophie Habboo is one of the United Kingdom's hottest influencers. She's got a strong following on social media. She and her husband, Jamie Laing, also have a podcast, called The Newlyweds. The couple recently enjoyed a trip to Miami, and Habboo shared some highlights on Instagram. In them, she lounged by the beach in a black swimsuit and enjoyed some snacks.
Habboo shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with Grazia. She says that she likes to unwind after a long day, and shared her favorite practices. "I love putting on a sheet mask, sinking into a warm bath and using an ice roller on my face," she says. "I sit there watching YouTube videos for half an hour, it's a ritual that really helps me calm down and reset."
Habboo shared some of her favorite workouts in her Grazia interview. She revealed that her current go-to workout is Pilates. "I really love it and I'm seeing a lot of results from it, actually," Habboo said. "I'm a bit of a cardio junkie so it took me a while to adjust to a more fluid form of exercise. But I'm there now, I've bitten the bullet." Pilates has a lot of health benefits. The Cleveland Clinic states, "Pilates is a form of strength training, but it doesn't look like some of the other strength training exercises you might be familiar with. Pilates focuses more on improving muscle tone than building muscles, but the result is similar: greater stability and endurance.
Pilates isn't going to bulk you up — if anything, it's designed to cultivate a longer, leaner look. Still, it can lay a strong physical foundation for muscle-building activities — and may even reduce your likelihood of injury. More on that later."
Habboo makes sure to workout, and she sometimes does so without leaving her home. In her Grazia interview, Habboo says that she loves doing online classes, and shares her reason for wanting to workout at home. "We have a little puppy now," she says. "So I'm working out a lot more at home out of necessity. I'm obsessed with Byrony Deery's classes."
Habboo revealed to Grazia that she is working on drinking a lot more water. "I want to be really clear and focused on the day. I want to feel like my best self and I'm really making an effort at the moment to be mindful, to exercise and to drink lots of water at the moment."
Habboo does a lot of traveling. She and her husband recently took a ski trip for Christmas, and shared a lot of highlights on Instagram. In one of these photos, Habboo is seen on the slopes. She captioned the post, "Happy Christmas." The Canadian Ski Council reports that skiing has a lot of benefits. "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."

Sarah Michelle Gellar, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer star shows off her flawless figure at 46 enjoying a much-needed vacation. "If I've left you unread…. Here is why. Vacation photo dump part one," she captioned the series of Instagram snaps, driving her followers wild. "Still slaying in 2024," commented one of them. "Goddess," added another.
Sarah's favorite outdoor activities include "swimming, hiking, anything like that is great." You can also find her paddle boarding when she is on vacation. "Taking a selfie on paddle board is not easy," she captioned a vacation snap in 2023. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and also a great form of cardio. It 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.
Sarah is all about drinking her nutrients. "My favorite thing is to have a green juice," she told The/Thirty. "I go every weekend to the farmers market and I get fresh kale, spinach, celery, and lettuces and I blend it all together. That's my favorite thing before I work out."
Sarah likes "to eat fresh, organic and local," she told Self. "People think it's so expensive to eat like that, but there are ways to do it so it's not as pricey. We shop at Whole Foods, but we ask which fish is on sale. On sale doesn't mean it's bad! It probably just means it's overcaught. And I clip coupons all the time. Why should you pay more for something that someone else is paying less for?"
"Sometimes, I'm so tired at the end of the day I just want to go to bed, but I have to take time for myself to take a bath," she told Bustle. Sarah's one "beauty/self-care must-have" doesn't cost a cent. "It's probably sleep because I need it and I'm very cranky without it," she told Health. Why are baths a great (and free) self-care ritual? 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.
"I love PlateFit and the feeling of being on a Power Plate," Gellar revealed. "I love how quickly I can work out and get such a great exercise." Another one of her workouts? "I love Pilates because it centers me and it also strengthens my body."
Sarah also revealed to Bustle that she enjoys reading. On her recent vacation she shared a photo of the book she was reading, The New Couple in 5B. One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years compared with people who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

Alessandra Ambrosio started 2024 off by hitting the ground running—or more specifically, hitting the treadmill running. The former Victoria's Secret model shared a video of herself wearing a gray two-piece workout outfit, going through an entire routine including running, kettlebells, resistance bands, and stair climbing. "Welcome to my @technogym. Perfect way to start the new year!!!" she captioned the Instagram post. Here's what Ambrosio's health and wellness routine look like at 42.
Ambrosio's perfect day is one spent in nature with her family. "I love being woken up by the sound of the ocean, so anywhere near the sea, especially if my kids are around," she tells Hello!. "We recently went to Fernando de Noronha. It was magical – there are beautiful ocean views all around you. I'd eat a traditional Brazilian breakfast, fruit, avocado, eggs, fresh juices and coffee. I would change into something comfortable, probably Alo Yoga activewear. After yoga I'd jump in the ocean wearing Gal Floripa swimwear followed by a long walk on the beach in my Pangaia sweats."
Ambrosio's favorite foods are grilled picanha and sushi, which she enjoys outdoors. "Lately, I have been researching brands like Bottletop that create sustainable products that look amazing," she tells Hello!. "When I'm not working, I like to let my skin breathe, so I would use Dr Barbara Sturm Sun Drops for SPF protection, and Beautycounter BB Cream after my morning exercise. Instead of heading somewhere else, I would stay in the same place, so I don't have to travel – and hopefully all of my friends and family will be there so we can play beach volleyball… Staying by the beach in Fernando de Noronha would be a dream afternoon; there is so much nature to explore and it has the most magical sunsets. In Brazil, nature is a huge part of our lives. We are surrounded by the oceans and the Amazon."
Ambrosio's wellness routine is focused around gratitude. "It's not easy, but I have my tricks," she tells Forbes. "I like waking up in the morning, doing my coffee, and then I have my diary next to my bed. It's a 5-minute diary – like a gratitude book. I just write a little bit about what I expect out of my day, what I'm grateful for, so just to start the day in a positive vibe. I have some things that I know how to calm me down, how to center, and how to be present in the moment that I do."
Ambrosio's workout includes resistance training and Pilates for a fantastic all-body exercise. She's also a devotee of the Tracy Anderson method. "I have been working with Tracy [Anderson] for last couple years, and what I love about her classes that it does not feel like exercise," Ambrosio told Bravo. "It's almost like taking a fun dance class that targets all of your muscle groups, and you get amazing results…she also has online classes, so when I travel, I am able to work out in my hotel room."
Ambrosio is proud of her time as a Victoria's Secret Angel. "Victoria's Secret was like a family for me and I learned so much with them and it was a brand that I admired," she tells Forbes. "It was a school for me of modeling because I was working every day. We got to go to so many different places, so it just really made me really comfortable in front of the camera. I don't know if I would change anything. I guess everything is about learning and when you're young – I started with Victoria's Secret when I was 19, so I was still kind of young, even if I thought I knew everything in the world (laughs). I was learning and if I did mistakes, even the mistakes, I think it counts to learn and not to do it again."

Caroline Marks is celebrating an epic year – in her swimsuit. In a recent social media post the professional surfer and 2023 WSL Women's World Tour Champion shows off her amazing body in a bathing suit while commemorating the past 365 days. "2023. Best year yet," she captioned a series of Instagram snaps.
Caroline focuses her diet around raw, whole foods. "I've always eaten healthy and eaten those foods, but I have been more educated in the last year about nutrition. I love food and learning about it," she tells Women's Health.
Caroline's main method of blasting calories is surfing. She told Women's Health that she shreds for a whopping four hours a day. 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.
Caroline told Women's Health that she also trains for one hour a day, adding to The Red Bulletin that the gym is where she works on balance and fitness. "Let's say I'm going to a long point break like Jeffreys Bay. I have to make the first turn as strong as the last turn. It's really hard to do, because my legs get tired. Sometimes, I have to surf four heats in a day, and I obviously can't just stop. There's a big agility ladder at my gym and I try to keep my feet going as fast as I can. I want to keep my heart rate up as long as possible. It's a lot of fast-twitch motions, too," she explained. "At the gym, I stand on a balance ball on one leg. My trainer will throw a medicine ball to me and I have to catch it one-handed. He doesn't tell me which side he's throwing to. It's super random. A lot of the most important work is done before the contest even starts."
Caroline fuels up with oatmeal in the morning, topping it with apples, bananas, or blueberries. "I add almond butter for more calories if I know I'll have a long day," she added to Women's Health. For lunch, she relies on grab-and-go meals like quinoa bowls, salads, tofu, and nuts or a garden salad with cucumbers, bell peppers, and chicken. "Dinner is however I feel—sometimes it's steak, chicken, salmon, or other times I have a vegan day," she added, revealing that her favorite carb to add is sweet potato. She also enjoys salmon with broccoli. One thing you won't find her eating? Dairy products.
Caroline also fuels up with smoothies. "Mango is my favorite fruit ever," says Caroline. "So I'll just do mango with ice, strawberries, and blueberries." Her go-to green smoothie is a blend of spinach, ginger, celery, and apple.

Sarah Jane is heating up Lake Eildon in her swimsuit. In a recent social media post, The Block star shows off her incredible figure in a pink bathing suit while posing for a vacation photo with her husband Tom at the Australian lake. "Living your best lives!" commented one of her followers. "How hot are you ❤️? get it girl," added another.
Sarah Jane claims to have lost over 17 pounds after wrapping The Block. "I had so much baby weight and it was driving me insane," she told Inspire Create Repeat. "I got down to about 59kg for my wedding and then I went on my honeymoon and it crept back up to about 63kg, which was what I was going into The Block."
Sarah Jane claims to have lost over 17 pounds after wrapping The Block. "I had so much baby weight and it was driving me insane," she told Inspire Create Repeat. "I got down to about 59kg for my wedding and then I went on my honeymoon and it crept back up to about 63kg, which was what I was going into The Block."
Sarah Jane says that friends turned her onto Isagenix shakes. "Someone got me onto Isagenix. It's a shake in the morning and then a snack, then I felt full and I was losing all this weight," she said.
Sarah Jane claims that her weight loss was not the result of working out. "I didn't exercise one bit, either. For people who hate exercise, this is the perfect diet. Hayden's happy if I'm happy, but he loves my new body. It's done wonders for us romantically. Our relationship is really good," she said.
Sarah Jane underwent a double mastectomy "because I'm a BRCA1 gene carrier, so I have the BRCA1 gene mutation," she revealed. "It means I have quite a high percentage, like an 85 per cent chance of developing breast cancer," she added. "My mum got breast cancer for the first time at 36, so really high chance of getting it while I'm still quite young."

Emilia Bechrakis is heating up St. Barths in her bathing suit. In a new social media post the wife of Million Dollar Listing New York's Ryan Serhant shows off her amazing body in a red swimsuit. "Keep chasing the sun," the 38-year-old attorney captioned the post. "Killing that bikini girl," commented one of her followers. "My gorgeous girl!!" added another.
Serhant went from a "skinny girl" growing up in Greece to strong when she finally started exercising after moving to New York and hitting the gym with her husband. "Once I got into it and saw I gained muscle and didn't lose weight, I was hooked!" she told Bella. She does a lot of circuit and weight training at celebrity mecca The Dogpound.
Emilia is Greek – and eats like it with a Mediterranean style diet. Cooking with olive oil and avoiding sugar are a few of her habits. "After eating fresh food in Greece, I had trouble eating meat and dairy in the United States," she says. While she isn't a vegan she gravitates toward plant-based eating but eats fish.
Emilia also limits dairy. However she does have one non-cheat, cheat meal. "My guilty pleasure—which is actually healthy, so it's not even a real guilty pleasure—is Greek frozen yogurt from Mike and Dave's," she said.
Another form of exercise that Emilia loves? Pilates. She often takes classes on the weekends. According to research, Pilates exercises are designed to increase muscle strength, endurance, and flexibility, and to improve posture and balance. Experts maintain that it is a great workout for leaning out.
Emilia also gets her cardio in with the help of spin classes and long walks. 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.
