Brylie St. Clair shows off her amazing figure while enjoying a lake

Brylie St. Clair is boating in her bathing suit. In a recent social media post the "world's sexiest softball player" shows off her amazing figure in a swimsuit while enjoying lake life with her friends. "Let me drive the boat," she captioned the Instagram post from Weiss Lake, Alabama. "Pretty," commented one of her followers. "Babe alert," added another.

Brylie regularly shares photos of her horses and is an avid equestrian. "All kinds of happy," she captioned a recent snap. According to the American Heart Association, riding horses is great for your health. Not only does it boost cardiovascular health, but builds core strength, burns calories, and lowers blood pressure. It is also great for your mental health as it helps relax you.

Brylie takes walks on a regular basis, and luckily has canine workout buddies. "Labs are the best," she captioned this photo. 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.

In her recent post, Brylie jet skis with a pal. According to 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.

Brylie clearly works hard to get her flat abs, but she also relies on a midsection-tightening treatment called EmSculpt Neo treatment. The non-invasive treatment that contours the body using radio frequency and high-intensity electromagnetic energies to provide simultaneous fat elimination and muscle toning in a combined 30-minute session. According to the company, in just 30 minutes, it stimulates over 24,000 supramaximal muscle contractions, achieving the equivalent of 12-16 weeks of HIIT training in just four sessions.

Witney Carson is taking advantage of the warm September climate in Los Angeles

Dancer Witney Carson is taking advantage of the warm September climate in Los Angeles to catch some rays before the fall weather arrives. Carson, 29, shared pictures of herself lounging in the sun, wearing a white swimsuit patterned with red strawberries. In a very cute touch, even her manicure had matching little red strawberries on it. "A strawberry summer ?," she captioned the post. "The matching nails and suit yassss queen," commented pal Iskra Lawrence.

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

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

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

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

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

Vanessa Hudgens is posing against a beautiful beach sunset

Actress Vanessa Hudgens is 34 and in the best shape of her life. The High School Musical star is featured in a new promotional snap from Caliwater Cactus Water, posing in a one-piece cutout swimsuit against a dramatic beach sunset. "The moment you've all been pine-ing for is here! our newest flavor, my favorite, Pineapple is here! ??? tap to shop! Xoxo, V," she captioned the post. "Gorgeous!" a fan commented.

Hudgens enjoys mixing up her workouts, but doesn't focus as much on cardio these days. "My fitness has taken a turn," she says. "Cardio has been put on the back burner, and I'm very OK with that. The things that have become the most important are balance and mental health. During the pandemic, when everything was paused, I created a little community. I'd get my friends together over Zoom and we would do Isaac Boots's live workout classes."

Hudgens sticks to a pescatarian diet with whole foods. "My overall food philosophy is, if it's real, I'll eat it," she says. "Many things are processed and contain chemicals and ingredients I can't pronounce. I want real food. If I'm in Italy, and I see them making pasta by hand, or if it grows from the earth, that's real. I stay away from the processed stuff. I also don't eat meat. I'm a pescatarian. What animals go through is so inhumane. That's not a system that I support."

Hudgens is a big fan of healthy plant-based fats, as in delicious avocados. "I eat a whole avocado a day," she says. "I need high fats. If I'm not getting enough, my body holds on to calories. We've been trained to think that fats are bad, but they're so good—a source of energy and sustenance that keeps you going through the day. That's the only way I can not eat carbs."

Hudgens has replaced cardio sessions with strength training and Pilates. "As the world started to reopen, I found myself obsessed with Dogpound. I go with my best friend; we're extremely competitive," she says. "We have the best time — the amount of dancing we do between sets is ridiculous. Everyone knows when we're at the gym. They say they hear us before they see us. I do squats with a rack, and I love to see how much weight I can add to the bar. That's empowering. And I've just gotten back into Pilates with a reformer. It works your muscles like nothing else."

Hudgens considers working out a form of therapy. "If I ever get to the point that I'm not happy with my body, I'll do something about it," she says. "You will always have the power to do something. Sometimes it will take a little longer than you would like, and sometimes it may be a little more extreme. But if you honestly have a goal, you can do it. You just need to figure out the right way to get there… Working out is like moving meditation. I feel you can work through things better in movement than being stagnant. You're pushing through and surviving, and you know you will succeed and get through it no matter how uncomfortable it is."

How Daniela Ruah got back in shape after having a baby

Daniela Ruah is spending time outdoors in her swimsuit. In one of Daniela Ruah latest social media posts, the NCIS Los Angeles star shows off her incredible body in a bathing suit.

When asked about how she got in shape after having a baby, Daniela responded that she turned to a fitness professional. "It was mostly gym work with a personal trainer, jogging, working out with the kids, and eating healthily," she told Parade magazine in 2017.

Daniela does yoga — on paddleboards. "So far so good…" she captioned a vacation snap showing off her moves. 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 an Instagram video, Danila discussed a few of her go-to workouts. "Started with a 5k stationary bike," she revealed. Whether you use a spin bike or a traditional bicycle, 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.

In the same video, Daniela says that she "ran 1 mile at the end." According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. "For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories," they say.

Daniela also loves to dance and even participated in Dancing with the Stars in Portugal. "I love dance, regardless of my participation in Dancing with the Stars, I have a dance background. I majored in dance in college," she told Parade. 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.

Gymnast Rebeca Andrade loves hanging out in a bikini

Olympic gold medalist Rebeca Andrade is getting a very sweet shout-out on social media from boyfriend Luiz Cleiton, who posted a video of the athlete. Andrade, 24, is seen posing in a bikini next to a pool, stretching in the sunshine. "Post to honor this wonderful woman next to me. Happy 1.4 to us. ? Thank you for everything you have done and do for me. I am very grateful to have you as my life partner. I love you too much ❤❤❤ ," Cleiton captioned the post. "Happy day baby, I love you! ❤️I'm thankful to share life with an amazing man like you!" Andrade responded in the comments.

Andrade says there is one piece of equipment she will never get bored of. "What gives me the most individual pleasure are the parallel bars," she says. "They are my favorite. I love it. If I could, I would work with them my whole life. But what I imagine doing best is jumping. I believe that coaches, teachers and people think the same way. After all, I won Olympic gold on this device, right?"

Andrade says a good relationship with your coach is essential for success. "I talk a lot with my coach and we trust in each other," she says. "We always try to be really safe, and do floor in the correct moments. He believes in me. I'm never going to lie to not do it. So, when I really tell him that I can't do it, it's because I cannot and he always respects that… The main goal is to be healthy and happy."

So, when I really tell him that I can't do it, it's because I cannot and he always respects that… The main goal is to be healthy and happy."

Andrade loves dancing in her down time. "[I love] going to the beach, I love cinema and I really enjoy singing, dancing and playing my keyboard," she says. "I sing everything: country music, pagode, samba, MPB, foreign music… I'm also very happy in the moments when I'm calm in my singing with Luiz Ramos, my boyfriend. He is also an athlete, bodybuilder. He pulls some irons. We help each other and exchange incentives."

Andrade is philosophical about the reality of winning and losing. "I want to be happy. Happy and healthy," she says. "Like I always say, the result is a consequence of what I did before. Sometimes, the best you wanted doesn't happen, you know. But if I'm happy, if I've been sure that I did my best inside on the floor, if I'm sure I wouldn't change anything, do anything differently, if I did my best technique, if I gave my best smile, if I was on my best day of joy and everything, I think it's worth it for me. Life is made of wins and losses. It's part of it, and I'm prepared for whatever may come. So, I really want to be happy. I want to be healthy to be able to do my best and show as much as I can to the world once again and be proud of the athlete that I am."

Tennis Star Eugenie Bouchard share pictures of herself posing in bikinis

Canadian tennis star Eugenie Bouchard is asking fans for their input on her style choices—and that includes swimsuits, too. Bouchard, 29, shared pictures of herself posing in a variety of different outfits, with one snap showing her posing in a soft pink bikini and white shirt on top. "1 2 3 or 4," she captioned the post. "Magnifique," a fan commented, with others giving their opinions on which outfit they liked the best.

Bouchard spends four to six hours on the court every day. "I spend most of my time on the tennis court," she says. "I wake up at 8 and eat eggs for the protein, fruits, and orange juice. Then I hit the tennis court for two hours working mainly on my technique. After lunch, I spend about another two hours on the tennis court before heading to the gym. As a tennis player, I have to work on my strength and cardio. I find the game of tennis has become more physical, and players are spending more time at the gym… When I do have some free time, I lie on the couch and relax, physically and mentally. It's important to take time away from tennis. When I can, I head to Montreal to visit my family. I'm not there often because I train in Florida. I miss my siblings, but it's the sacrifice I've made."

Bouchard says she eats 5 bananas a day, and claims other athletes also eat a lot of the fruit. "They're full of nutrients and easy on the gut. Very few people have problems digesting bananas," says registered dietitian Elyse Homan, RD, LD. Bananas are high in potassium and vitamin C, as well as B6. "One banana will give you one-quarter to one-third of the vitamin B6 you need in a day," Homan says.

Bouchard relies on massages and physiotherapy to relax after matches. "In the match, you have so much adrenaline going. It takes a couple of hours for your body to relax after that," she says. "Night matches are especially tough, because it's 11 p.m. or midnight and I need to try sleeping, but I just finished [playing]. A lot of times I can't sleep until 2 or 3 a.m. I try to think about something else besides the match that just happened, because I'm usually still worked up about it. I watch TV or try to keep it really low key."

Bouchard's focus in her training is to put on muscle, as she believes it will give her the edge over the competition. The athlete has posted video on her social media of herself hitting the gym and combining strength and resistance training to get stronger and fitter. "I want to get stronger. I want to get bigger. I want to put on muscle," she previously said. "I feel like in the past year I haven't been strong enough on the court."

Bouchard says her social media doesn't always reflect the amount of time she spends training. "People can say I'm not spending enough time training and things like that," she says. "I'm like, 'OK, do you work 24 hours a day?' I train six hours a day and then I go to the movies, but what I will post will be about the movies because—to me—that's the most interesting part of my day since I play tennis and work out every single day of my life! I don't need to try to prove to you that I'm working out. I know what I'm doing every single day, and I don't need people's acceptance of what I do. I'll post whatever I want, and I don't care what people say."

Robin Bone workout schedule is insane

Canadian pole vault, hurdle, and long jump athlete Robin Bone is showing off her incredible skills on the beach. Bone shared a video of herself wearing a bright pink bikini as she performed cartwheels and backflips on the sand, making it look effortless. "Annual off-season beach gymnastics—have to make sure I can still flip ?," she captioned the impressive post. "I can't even imagine being this athletic and coordinated," a fan commented. "Beach Barbie!" commented fellow Canadian track and field athlete Rachel Hyink.

Bone's workout schedule looks the same day to day:

7:00am: Eldoa exercises and Mobility

7:30am: Warm-up + pre-training activation exercises

8:30am: Technical work/ speed training/ speed endurance

10:30am: Circuit/complex work to end track session

11:00am: Pre-weight training snack/break

11:30am: Weight training

12:45pm: Cool-down/mobility

1:00pm: Ice bath/Contrast therapy

1:30pm: Lunch/Break

3:00pm: Athletic Therapy Treatment w/ PT/Chiro/RMT.

One of Bone's favorite upper body strength exercises is the Stability Ball Body Saw to Pike Pushup. "In a push-up position place your feet onto the stability ball with your hands remaining on the ground roughly shoulder width apart," she explains. "Once in this position push back towards the stability ball rolling onto your shins creating a flat line from your shoulders to your body. Then roll forward into a pike position with your hips above your shoulders. Once in this pike position, do a push-up keeping your hips above your shoulders. Throughout this exercise it is vital to keep a strong and stable core. (For beginners, start with just the body saw before working your way to adding in the pike push-up!)"

Bone's dietary staple during training days is coffee and a bowl of oats with chia seeds, fruit, and almond butter. "Oatmeal is one of the most affordable whole grains, perfect for hungry athletes on a budget," says Nancy Clark, MS RD CSSD FACSM. "At least half your daily grains should be whole grains. Oats for breakfast give you a good start to reaching that whole grain goal for the day. Oats have about 5 grams of protein per ½ cup dry serving. A good protein target for breakfast is at least 20 grams, so cook the oats in 1 cup milk (dairy milk, 8 g protein, or soy milk, 7g protein) and stir in 2 tablespoons of peanut butter or ¼ cup of nuts (8 g pro), and you'll have a super sports breakfast!"

Bone is known for wearing a helmet when competing, after suffering a concussion when she was 16. "In high school I knew people were talking about it but I just never cared," she says. "My dad was a football coach and I was always tagging along, so wearing a helmet didn't seem like this embarrassing thing. It never seemed silly to me. When I was a freshman at these track meets, I could hear the whispers. It just motivated me. It showed me how much I care about pole vault and why I could be just as good as the people making fun of me."

Professional tennis player Aryna Sabalenka shared pictures of her trip in Mallorca, Spain

Belarusian professional tennis player Aryna Sabalenka took some time over the summer for some much-needed rest and relaxation in Mallorca, Spain. Sabalenka, 25, shared pictures of her trip, including ones of her posing in a cheetah print bikini, standing on rocks by the ocean. She also shared a video of herself paddleboarding in the water. "Few days off? #good #recovery #isthekey," she captioned the post. "Well deserved! Enjoy life! ????‍♂️?‍♂️?" a fan commented.

Sabalenka has learned to focus on playing her best, no matter how she feels. "I've been really aggressive on court since a very young age," she says. "And sometimes when you're not feeling your best, someone from outside could watch your match thinking, like, Oh, my gosh—she's crushing it, she's playing amazing, but you're feeling like, No—the ball is not going the right direction. When you're just not feeling your best, this thing can just destroy you inside, and you'll start going crazy, missing a lot for no reason. So it's really important just to do your job and not care about the feelings—to learn how to play your best when you're not feeling your best. If the ball is going in, it's okay for today."

Sabalenka shared a typical workout via her social media. "And we start over again ???," she captioned the post, which shows the following movements:

Knee Tap Toe Squat

Split Stance UL OH Rot Press (Heels Up)

OH Anti Rot 1

OH Anti Rot 2

OH Anti Flex 1

OH Anti Flex 2

Stick T-Spine Rot (Tension)

Kneeling T-Spine Rot (Resisted)

UL Hip Rot.

Sabalenka shared a circuit workout via her Instagram:

"Another CIRCUIT for you guys?

Sabalenka allows herself to relax with tequila and steak. "It depends on the mood—if I'm not in a good mood, I'll just go for a shot," she says. "If I'm in a good mood and just want to enjoy my night, I'll go for a margarita. I'm pretty good at controlling myself—I'm stopping myself after a couple of shots—but I do like tequila, especially a good one. To the vegetarians who are going to read this, I'm so sorry—but I really love eating steaks."

Gymnast Olivia Dunne flaunts her incredibly fit figure while in Gulf Shores, Alabama

Olivia Dunne is partying it up with her pals in her swimsuit. In some of her latest social media posts the gymnast flaunts her incredibly fit figure in bathing suits while in Gulf Shores, Alabama. "So much room for activities!!!" she captioned a series of Instagram snaps, sharing a few others via her stories.

Olivia orders a vanilla latte with oat milk at Starbucks every day. Should you drink coffee? The Cleveland Clinic says yes, as 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 say.

Olivia goes for lots of walks, a great daily habit. 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.

Surfing is another athletic hobby of Olivia. "Totally tubular," she captioned Instagram photos of herself surfing in Hawaii. The Australian government's Better Health maintains that 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.

Tennis is also part of Olivia's fitness game. "Serving looks," she captioned a post from the tennis court. 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.

Routine helps Olivia achieve her fitness and scholastic goals. "First, I wake up and go to the class, where I'm usually with my teammates. I study [at the communications center] and get schoolwork done," she told New York Post. After class, "I come home, eat lunch and go right to the gym, where I train for hours," she continued. "I have conditioning before or after practice, which takes place at football operations. Then, I go straight to the dining hall to eat dinner. After that, I come home [to my dorm] and do my work stuff at night."

Rachel Recchia flaunts her incredible body while lounging poolside

Rachel Recchia is bidding adieu to summer in her swimsuit. In new social media photos, the Bachelor star flaunts her incredible body in a bathing suit, while lounging poolside. "How can summer be over when it's only just beginning," she asked her followers in the caption of the Instagram post. "You are absolutely savage sometimes," one of her followers commented. "Prettyyyyy," added another.

Rachel attended Ohio University in Athens, Ohio, where she was on the Division I cheerleading squad. Cheerleading is very similar to gymnastics and is a great full-body workout, as it involves a lot of movement of the hands, feet, and torso.

Rachel starts her day with a cup of coffee. "Daydreaming about mornings in this gorgeous city," she captioned a snap of herself with her morning cup of Joe. A 2022 study published in European Journal of Preventive Cardiology found that drinking two to three cups a day of most types of coffee – especially a mild to moderate intake of ground, instant, and decaffeinated coffee – may protect you from cardiovascular disease and an early death.

One of Rachel's favorite outdoor workouts? Rowing. "So happy to get the opportunity to share the people and place I love with all of you ? Also, fun fact, I was born and raised in Chicago and only moved to Florida when I was a teenager," she captioned one of her posts. According to AFPA Fitness, a rowing machine exercises your upper body as well as your lower body. "The rowing stroke when using an indoor rower is composed of 65-75% leg work and 25-35% upper body work," they say.

According to Rachel's ABC bio she is "as a hopeless romantic" and "looking for someone who is as playful, passionate and spontaneous as she is. He should be nurturing, empathetic and MUST be respectful in all facets of life—to her, to family, and especially to waiters." It also reveals that she loves Flamin' Hot Cheetos!

Rachel has a drink of choice: Red wine, in moderation, has long been thought of as heart healthy," says the Mayo Clinic. "The alcohol and certain substances in red wine called antioxidants may help prevent coronary artery disease, the condition that leads to heart attacks."

Nicole Scherzinger shows off her fit figure while enjoying a vacation in Austria

Nicole Scherzinger is heating up the tropics in her swimsuit. In one of her latest social media posts, the Masked Singer beauty shows off her impossibly fit figure in a bathing suit while enjoying a vacation in Austria. In her Instagram Reel she dives in the water and goes standup paddleboarding in the placid Black Sea.

Nicole makes sure her skincare products penetrate her skin by using a beauty gadget. "A lot of times before I have to get ready, if I have to be on camera or something, I will put on a face mask and put on some skincare and [my face massager] will either help absorb into the skincare or just help with inflammation or bloating," she explained to Allure.

"A lot of times before I have to get ready, if I have to be on camera or something, I will put on a face mask and put on some skincare and [my face massager] will either help absorb into the skincare or just help with inflammation or bloating," she explained to Allure.

Nicole dry bushes because it's good for "draining your lymphatic system," she said.

"I actually grew up with my family taking the coconuts from their yard [in Hawaii], extracting the oil and sending it to me here in the mainland. Now, coconut is everywhere and it's awesome," Nicole told Allure. "It's really healthy for the skin and anti-bacterial, and you can use it for your hair and skin," she added to Cosmo UK.

"Scent is so important to me," she explained, "it's so therapeutic." Her favorites are florals, including Byredo's La Tulipe, body milk by Santa Maria Novella, and essential oils with lavender and rosehip.

Elsa Hosk shows off her amazing body enjoying the sand and sun

Elsa Hosk is heating up the beach in her bathing suit. In one of her latest social media posts, the Swedish model shows off her amazing body while enjoying the sand and surf with her family. "California dreamin," she captioned the Instagram post. "Lovely," commented one of her followers. "Beautiful," added another.

Elsa prioritizes rest. "I'm usually good with six or seven hours. I get 6 most of the time, but sometimes I sleep, like, 13 hours. Sleep is so important. I think more important than we know. When I haven't slept, I'm not myself. I'm not as easy-going," she told The Cut. According to the Sleep Foundation, getting enough z's is a mood booster, promotes heart health, regulates blood sugar, improves mental function, restores your immune system, helps relieve stress, and aids in weight loss.

Elsa doesn't believe in strict diets. "I am really bad at being on a diet. As soon as I tell myself, 'You have to eat this or that,' I am going to do the exact opposite, so I didn't tell myself anything. I just tried to stay away from processed food," she told ELLE.

"I try to eat healthy and a plant-based diet," Elsa dished to Coveteur. "I watched the documentary What the Health, and it affected me a lot. I was like, 'OK, I have to change how I eat.' In Sweden we eat a lot of dairy, cheese, and eggs, so I've cut that out for the past 5 weeks and I'm seeing a big improvement in my skin and in my belly. And I feel much better. It makes you realize there's definitely something to it."

Hosk likes to fight her way to a hot body. "I love boxing, and I try to mix it up as much as I can. Boxing makes you kind of tight, so it's really good to mix that with barre, pilates, or something that'll stretch you out and make you longer. I'm not the person that loves to be in the gym so much. I like to mix it up as much as possible, otherwise I'll get bored," she told Marie Claire.

"I just started running," Hosk told Coveteur. "I don't time it; I don't put any pressure on myself, I just go the pace I want. I think that's a really beautiful way to feel yourself and feel your body and see the city."

Elsa is all about lifting weights. "On the runway you're wearing really heavy wings and really high heels, so you need really strong legs so you don't fall," she told Coveteur.

Elsa also does dance-inspired workouts. "I've been training with Megan Roup, who does dance cardio. It's lots of toning moves for the glutes, legs, and arms. She's just really fun," she told Elle.

Tennis Star Maria Sharapova shares some photos enjoying a much-needed vacation

Former Russian number 1 tennis player Maria Sharapova actually took time away from her busy training schedule this summer to enjoy a much-needed vacation with her family. Sharapova, 36, shared some behind-the-scenes glimpses of her trip to Greece, including a snap of herself floating in beautiful clear waters in a yellow one-piece swimsuit. "A holiday during the summer?? Still feels new to me ?," she captioned the post. "Heaven," commented pal Jessica Alba.

Sharapova's typical workout consists of stretching, jogging on the beach, two hours of tennis practice, Pilates core exercises, and indoor/outdoor interval bike sessions. "I train five or six times a week for six hours a day with my trainer, Yutaka Nakamura, or one of my coaches," she says. "Playing professional tennis requires major dedication. If you take more than three days off, you can start to lose lean muscle. The athlete winds down with "Weekly sports massages and baths, both ice and hot, help relieve my tired muscles. I add Epsom salts and lavender essential oil."

Sharapova never skips breakfast on training days. "When I'm training, the most important 'on switch' is a healthy breakfast," she says. "I make a green smoothie with romaine lettuce, avocado, spinach, mint, and fresh-squeezed lemon juice. I also buy chestnut bread from the local farmers market and eat it with blanched almond butter. Candy [is my vice], no question about it. I've had a sweet tooth for as long as I can remember, and it's the reason I decided to start my own candy company, Sugarpova, seven years ago."

Like many athletes, Sharapova swears by good carbs for energy. "Carbs are important for my sport, but it's about finding the right balance between them and protein," she says. "In the morning, I have fruit, then rye toast with goat cheese and a piece of ham. When I'm playing tournaments, I try to minimize things that can create inflammation, like lactose, and goat cheese is easier for me to process than butter. For lunch, it's a protein like chicken and then soup, because I'm Russian and we love soups. For dinner, I'll have fish, like salmon or sea bass, and rice or potatoes."

Sharapova makes time for herself to drink coffee and journal before her family are up. "There's something very strong about thinking of something and making it official on a piece of paper," she says. "I've always believed in the power of that… Be kind to yourself. Knowing that you're taking care of someone else, I think you always do a better job when you are taken care of. The more you feel rejuvenated and replenished and your body and mind are in the right place, the more that projects onto the people around you."

Sharapova's glowing looks on the court are all natural. "I wear zero makeup on the court," she says. "I can't risk it running into my eyes. I tie a ponytail, pin the flyaways, and use L'Oréal Elnett hair spray. If I have time, I get a neutral manicure. When I'm not playing tennis, I like a fresh-faced glow. At night I'll wear a fun pink lip, Avon brow pencil, and Kanebo's Sensai concealer and mascara. I wash my hair daily, since I'm training and sweating."

Doutzen Kroes flaunts her incredible figure

Doutzen Kroes is living it up with her supermodel pals in Greece – in her swimsuit. In one of her recent social media posts the Victoria's Secret alum flaunts her incredible figure in a bathing suit while posing up a storm with Candice Swanepoel, Joan Smalls, photographer Jerome Duran, and husband Sunnery James. "Quality time with friends in Greece," she captioned the Instagram snaps.

Ballet Beautiful with Mary Helen Bowers is Doutzen's go-to workout. She takes the classic dance inspired class three times a week. "It keeps everything tight. I've worked out with her for two years and I really like the results," she told Vogue. "I used to always box and run, and with boxing, I would build a lot of muscle. After I had my son [Phyllon, age 3½], I started doing ballet. It makes you long and lean—it's like the Pilates look."

Doutzen has an ab hack: Stomach vacuuming. "One thing that I've always done since I was younger is suck in my stomach," she told Vogue about her fitness trick. "I think that gave me [ab] muscles. I don't even think about it—like when you sit in a car, use your core to sit up straight. You can work out sitting in a car! I did leg and butt exercises during my pregnancy, but I haven't done anything since I had my baby because I don't want to damage my stomach muscles. It's better to wait a while."

"Every morning I mix an orange, grapefruit, and lemon with wheatgrass or green powder in the blender," Doutzen revealed to Vogue. "It's very sour. It doesn't taste good at all, but I do it because it's healthy." She added that healthy eating was instilled in her as a child. "Growing up, my mom gave me really healthy food. Everything was fresh from the garden and organic before the organic hype. I still eat mostly organic food."

Doutzen also juices. "I love Juice Press because they have some juices that actually taste good. I like to order at night and get it in the morning, then I don't have to press anything myself," she said.

Doutzen's breakfast-of-choice is green juice, eggs, and avocado, and ends her day with fish and greens. For lunch she usually has a salad, or a salad and fries to "mix it up a little bit," she told Byrdie. She always brings healthy snacks with her. "I always like to have mixed raw nuts with me for when I get hungry—especially when I was pregnant I was scared I wasn't getting enough—or a banana."

Track and field star Ivet Lalova-Collio shares some recent photos taken in Turkey

Bulgarian sprinter Ivet Lalova-Collio took some time off from her intense training regimen to don a swimsuit and spend quality time with friends at the Gloria Verde Resort in Turkey. Lalova-Collio, 39, shared a beautiful picture of herself posing in a white and tan bikini on a dock, against a background of blue sea and skies. "GIRLS ??", her friend Maryna Bekh-Romanchuk—a champion long jumper—captioned the post. The Olympian athlete has an incredibly impressive strong physique, and she works hard to maintain her tone and muscle.

Lalova-Collio's training routine is what you would expect from an Olympian—she runs and lifts heavy weights. "In the winter I do a lot of weights, at least 3 times and tempo runs after," she says. "In the summer I do fewer weights, but lots of high intensity running. I have weeks that I don't have a day without putting on my spikes. I think about big championships from the moment I step on the track. Knowing that you have to be at your best there is taking me slowly to the moment and the day of the race. At the day I love some music during the warm-up, I do some strides, some active stretching, getting faster and faster in about 1 hour before the competition."

Lalova-Collio recognizes how important diet is—especially for an athlete—when it comes to staying fit and healthy. "If I organize myself around training and what I have to eat and around sport, it's easier so the days goes almost like normal," she says. "It's all about training, resting and recovery. I spend more time cooking – I really want to eat good and I keep telling people 'don't worry so much about exercise,' be careful because if you stay home all day, you end up eating so be careful about that so I pay more attention to diet."

Lalova-Collio didn't let pandemic lockdowns get in the way of her training regimen—instead, she became creative about working out outside of the traditional gym environment. "We have a state of emergency – we are not under a lockdown – but we have a lot of restrictions," she says. "We can't go to parks, tracks are closed, gyms are closed but it's your choice if you want to go out but we all prefer to stay home as much as possible. It's tough times for people who train like us! We run in the streets but I keep saying that athletics is a 'poor' sport – we don't need that much to do what we do. We run, we jump, we do the basic things the human body can do although we try and improve them into something superhuman. Even if we have to run on the street or have to run on the stairs in our building, we are going to make it!"

Lalova-Collio says a serious accident that almost derailed her career in 2005 was actually the making of her. "I love to say that what saved me when the accident happened was that I was really young," she says. "I was 21 years old. By that time and in my head, there was no possibility that I'm not coming back and I'm not running again. So I had no idea what I'm facing and how long it's going to take and how hard it's going to be and I never thought about it. Of course, I had my dark moment and as I said, I cried a lot. It was really tough for me watching the World Championships in Helsinki later, that the same season that I wanted so bad to be there and compete. But I worked, even on that and it saved me, but mostly my motivation to come back saved me."

Lalova-Collio says if she could go back in time and give advice to her younger self, it would be to surround herself with positive people who encourage her, and get rid of negative people who would hold her back. "You will later work with a mental coach and discover many empowering things inside of you," she says. "You will read books on the subject and by training your brain you'll reach that state of feeling just how you want to feel – which is so important in both training and competition. I'd also say make sure you surround yourself with supportive and positive people."

Cowboys Cheerleader Claire Wolford is sending Aloha vibes

In one of her latest social media posts the Dallas Cowboys cheerleader Claire Wolford gives her followers a glimpse of her recent Hawaiian vacation. "Hawaii vlog ??☀️?? this place forever has my heart," she captioned the Instagram Reel. In it, she visits a few hotels including Turtle Bay and the Hilton Hawaiian Village, both on Oahu.

Even while on vacation, Claire gets a workout in. In her recent video from Hawaii you can find her jogging up a storm. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. "For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories," they say.

Claire spends a lot of time in the gym weight and strength-training. She does a lot of body weight exercises and also uses free weights, regularly sharing her workout videos on social media. 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.

Claire, who identifies more as a dancer than a cheerleader, does "dance training" workouts. "Getting stronger every day," she captioned a post. 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.

Claire also does a lot of cardio. While at the gym she cycles, rows, and runs on a treadmill. 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. According to AFPA Fitness, a rowing machine exercises your upper body as well as your lower body. "The rowing stroke when using an indoor rower is composed of 65-75% leg work and 25-35% upper body work," they say.

Claire also loves to hike. "All I can say is WOW GOD," she captioned one of her Instagram photos, taken while on a hike in Arizona. 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"

Cheryl Maitland workout of choice is strength training

Cheryl Maitland is heating up Sin City in her swimsuit. In a few of her latest social media posts the Married at First Sight star flaunts her incredible figure in a tiny bathing suit while spending the day poolside at Drai's Beach Club.

Cheryl's workout of choice is strength training. "Now I go to F45 four times a week," she told NTL. Should you lift weights? 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.

Cheryl relies on the workout buddy system for accountability. For awhile it was her fiancé, Dean, who she recently split with. "In the first year with Dean, we were just eating like animals, we were so comfortable, we thought, 'You're going to love me no matter what!'" she told Now to Love. "At the start of this year, we both decided to get back into the gym and get things under control."

Cheryl is all about self-care. One of her methods is taking baths, which 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.

Cheryl also gets outside and hikes and goes mountain climbing. "What an incredible experience," she captioned this photo of herself in Switzerland. "Hiking is one of the best ways to get exercise. No matter what type of trail you find yourself on, hiking is a great whole-body workout—from head to toe and everything in between," says the National Parks Service. Some of the physical benefits include building stronger muscles and bones, improving your sense of balance, improving your heart health, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems. It also offers many mental health benefits, according to a Stanford University study.

Whenever she is vacationing by the water you can find Cheryl jet skiing. According to 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.

Cheryl abides by a healthy diet. For breakfast she eats overnight oats. "I have something like tuna and crackers for lunch, then almonds or fruit for a snack," she told NTL. "At home for dinner, we'll just make some kind of chicken and veggies or salad – we try not to eat carbs in the evening."

Skyler Simpson is enjoying the beautiful weather in the south of France

Skyler Simpson is enjoying the beautiful climate and scenery while on vacation in the south of France. The social media influencer and model shared a video of herself lounging around a stunning pool in a tiny bikini, diving into the crystal water. "Somewhere in the south of France," she captioned the post.

Simpson shares her HIIT workouts on social media, so fans can copy her exact exercises. "[HIIT workouts] don't require as much time as a regular workout (some can take as little as 10 minutes)," says Matthew Haines, Head of Division of Sport, Exercise & Nutrition Sciences, University of Huddersfield. "And research shows they improve fitness, lower blood pressure and help people better manage their blood sugar levels – which may aid in weight loss and prevent disease, such as type 2 diabetes."

Simpson loves fresh fruit for a healthy snack, especially watermelon. Watermelon is a good choice for a refreshing bite, especially during warmer weather, although it's beneficial at any time of year. "We think of watermelon as a fun, seasonal food for barbeques and the beach, but it's also really good for you," says registered dietitian Lara Whitson, RD, LD. "It's low in calories, keeps you hydrated and provides many other nutrients that can help you maintain good health."

Simpson enjoys seafood, with sushi and sashimi being her favorite. Experts recommend low-mercury fish—for example sardines or salmon—be included as part of a healthy diet. "Try to eat at least two servings a week of fish, especially fish that's rich in omega-3 fatty acids," say the experts at the Mayo Clinic. "Doing so appears to reduce the risk of heart disease, particularly sudden cardiac death."

Simpson enjoys hiking, especially while traveling. Hiking is a great low-impact exercise, and provides all the benefits of working out in nature. "When you're dressed for success, hiking is a great total-body workout," says Michael Bednarz, DPM, FACFAS, a podiatric surgeon at Piedmont. "It strengthens the large muscles in your body, while stimulating the feel-good chemical hormones of adrenaline and endorphins that boost your mood and energy levels."

Simpson loves red wine, which experts say should be enjoyed in moderation. Red wine has long been considered a heart-healthy choice thanks to resveratrol, but research has been limited. "Resveratrol helps activate an enzyme called telomerase, which protects genome integrity," says cardiologist Dennis Bruemmer, MD. "And because of that, this resveratrol has been associated with preventing cardiovascular disease and actually extending longevity… It has never really been proven in people."

Volleyball Star Kayla Simmons flaunts her amazing body

Kayla Simmons is starting the week off with a swimsuit selfie. In one of her latest social media posts the volleyball star flaunts her amazing body in a black bathing suit with a plunging neckline. "Happy Monday," she captioned the post with her followers. "Your gonna break the internet!" commented Nicole Pedra. "You are absolutely perfect," commented another follower.

Kayla is a water baby and can often be found in the ocean. Two of her favorite activities are swimming and snorkeling. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits of putting on a mask and fin may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.

Kayla is a surfer. There are many health benefits of the sport including cardiovascular fitness from paddling, shoulder and back strength, which also strengthen 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," the Australian government's Better Health says.

"Being a former college athlete & growing up around sports has taught me to push myself to the limit," Kayla said in an interview. "College athletics was a great experience for me, but it also taught me some valuable lessons. I was told by my school administrators that the pictures I post are inappropriate because of my body, I was even asked to delete my Instagram at one point. I was torn bc I felt I couldn't embrace my body & play the sport I love. I've since learned that you can't let other people affect how you feel about yourself." She added to The Post in July 2019 that she hopes younger fans "know that it's okay to just be yourself and feel confident."

Kayla also enjoys hiking. "Hawaii has my heart," she captioned this photo from one of her hikes. "Hiking is one of the best ways to get exercise. No matter what type of trail you find yourself on, hiking is a great whole-body workout—from head to toe and everything in between," says the National Parks Service. Some of the physical benefits include building stronger muscles and bones, improving your sense of balance, improving your heart health, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems. It also offers many mental health benefits, according to a Stanford University study.

Simmons, who has been dubbed the "world's sexiest volleyball player," addressed plastic surgery rumors during a Q&A on YouTube. "I got zero silicone. I'm all natural, I'm sick of answering that one, but yeah," Simmons responded when asked, "How much silicone did you get?"

Steph Claire just loves hanging out in a bikini

Model and fitness influencer Steph Claire Smith is hinting at some very exciting news—and sharing her happiness with fans. Smith, 29, posted a picture of herself posing, looking on top of the world. "16yr old Steph would be SCREAMING?❤️ Excited to share what I shot yesterday ?," she captioned the post. Fans immediately started speculating as to what she might be hinting at. "It's gotta be VS ? I remember when you were going to castings ???," one commented.

Smith appreciates the benefits of a calm, happy start to the day. "These days I have really been enjoying a slower start to the day," she says. "I used to jump out of bed and smash out a workout and have brekkie on the go on my way to work (definitely still have these mornings now and then) but I take my time when I can. I start with either a yoga flow or a walk with Ari my dog and I've found that has helped my mood and headspace so much throughout the day. Sometimes when life is busy and I'm a little stressed, fast-paced mornings are the worst!"

Smith works out several times a week and likes to mix up her exercises. "I definitely listen to my body, but on average I'd say I workout five to six days a week," she says. "But it's broken up into different activities – I might go on two runs, do two HIIT workouts or strength workouts and then fill in the other days with yoga or walking."

Smith enjoys a healthy diet with plenty of good fats and protein. "Lunch is generally poached eggs with avocado, spinach, and gluten-free bread," she says. "Mid-afternoon, I like a KIC Bliss Ball (available in selected Cole's supermarkets) for something sweet. As for dinner, it's always different—typically anything with meat and vegetables. All of my favorite dinners are in the KIC program, like the Surf n Turf Salad, or Baked Sticky Chicken with Greens.

Smith doesn't believe in restrictive eating patterns and punishing workouts. "It's all about balance," she says. "Nothing too strict, basically the 80:20 rule. Listen to your body and fuel it with the right things, and treat yourself the other 20 percent of the time with food that makes you happy. When it comes to exercise, find what works for your body and what you enjoy doing. A workout shouldn't be punishment."

Smith winds down for the day with tea and reading, and makes an effort not to scroll on her phone in bed. "I can't end the day without a peppermint tea," she says. "It's a habit that now is set in my routine as the last thing that I consume for the day and so now it makes me sleepy. I love chocolate, I would have chocolate almost every night of the week! But I try not to have it too close to bedtime."
