Christen Harper shows off her incredible figure

Christen Harper is starting the year off right – in her workout clothes at the gym. In a few recent social media posts, The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition model shows off her incredible figure in a cropped tank and leggings during a sweat session with Brock Romisch.

According to Kendra Gamble, HIT Fitness Training, Huntingdon Valley, PA, NPTI Certified Personal Trainer and Nutritional Consultant, the first exercise Harper does is actually multiple movements in one. "A plank, a glute kickback, a mountain climber into a clamshell," she says. She doesn't suggest trying this one at home as it is "too much in one movement," in her opinion.

Her last exercise is a sled pull, according to Gamble. "Just using her upper body instead of lower body, she isn't really using much power for it to be a sled snatch." A sled snatch is a "power exercise, good for the whole body and increasing strength and power in your upper body," she adds.

Another favorite activity of Christen's is riding horses, which boasts both physical and mental health benefits. "Sunset ride to the Hollywood sign," she captioned this image of herself on a ride. According to the American Heart Association, it boosts cardiovascular health, builds core strength, burns calories, and lowers blood pressure.

Aside from gym workouts Christen enjoys regular hikes. Luckily, she has a canine companion to serve as her workout buddy. "Roxie and I have mixed feelings about hikes ? anyone know any good hikes around LA?" she jokingly captioned this Instagram post panting at the top of a trail with her dog. "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.

In the next video, Harper kneels on the ground and lifts a barbell without any weights on it up and down. According to Gamble the move is called landmine shoulder press. "Those are good," she says. "I make my client do them."

Malia White shares photos looking amazing

Malia White is a reality star, best known for being a cast member on Bravo's Below Deck Mediterranean. She most recently appeared as a cast member on Winter House, which depicted Bravo stars from different shows living together in a house in Colorado. White recently went on a diving trip in St. George, and shared a photo on Instagram from it. In it, she sat on a boat in a swimsuit. "A dive trip but you don't have to clean the gear & boat afterwards… 10/10 recommend."

As you could probably assume from her recent post and her working on a ship, White likes to swim to stay in shape. She shared a video on Instagram of herself scuba diving with sharks. She captioned the post, "In honor of Shark Awareness Day! ? I've been fortunate to swim with many different shark species around the world, these Apex Predators need our help!"

While on Winter House, White and her castmates have been doing a lot of outings together. In one episode, the cast went skiing. White shared these photos from the day on Instagram. She captioned the post, "From the Seas to Skis… @captainsandrayawn joins us on the slopes!" The University of Rochester Medical Center reports that skiing has a lot of benefits. "Skiing and snowboarding are thrilling activities and great workouts.

Both sports are excellent cardiovascular exercises that strengthen the heart. Because they are also weight-bearing exercises, they strengthen your bones as they tone your muscles. Cardiovascular or aerobic exercises also work to reduce your risk for chronic diseases, and lower blood pressure. They also help you maintain a healthy body weight. Through regular aerobic exercise like skiing and snowboarding, you lower your risk of developing conditions like diabetes and heart disease, having a stroke, and perhaps even getting cancer."

Another thing White and her castmates did while filming Winter House was go horseback riding. In this set of photos she posted on Instagram, White is seen riding. She captioned the post, "Being a cowboy is a lot harder than Yellowstone makes it out to be. A few BTS from this weeks episode."

White likes to box to stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself sparring with her trainer. According to The Cleveland Clinic, boxing has a lot of benefits. "Boxing combines punching drills and conditioning exercises that can improve your heart health, strength, endurance, balance and coordination," physical therapist Dr. James Edwards says to the site. "It can also reduce stress, anxiety and depression and improve your confidence and overall well-being."

Another thing White likes to do to stay in shape is going on bike rides. She revealed in the caption of an Instagram post that she recently picked up cycling. "To finding new hobbies as an adult! ? Cycling has been a tough sport for me as I'm not naturally an endurance athlete but I'm sticking with it- such a great way to explore new places all while getting some exercise in!"

Ana Cheri is going from strength to strength as a model and fitness influencer

Fitness influencer and model Ana Cheri is going from strength to strength as a model and fitness influencer—and it looks like she's got a new clothing drop lined up. Cheri shared a video of herself posing in a gray one-piece workout outfit, promising fans something exciting is on the horizon. "Something coming soon," she captioned the post. "Obsessed," a fan responded.

Cheri isn't afraid of heavy weights and loves leg day. "I'd like to say I'm more of a girlie girl these days, but growing up with four brothers, playing football and basketball was a given," she tells Muscle and Fitness. When I go home, the rowdiness definitely comes out! I'm a huge fan of 'leg day' and I'm always doing lower body. I can't get enough of it. And I also deadlift. My max was 205 lbs. and I'm like 125 lbs. I was really proud of myself on that one!"

Cheri swears by dry brushing for beautiful, glowing skin. "Dry brushing is my pre-sauna ritual!" she captioned an Instagram video. "It not only enhances skin texture but also boosts circulation and supports the lymphatic system to help move the stagnant toxins out of your body. We cannot detox our lymphatic system on our own, this is why being active, lymphatic massage and dry brushing are so important. Pair it with a sauna session for a double detox to sweat out all the stagnant toxins you just moved around and you will be feeling refreshed inside and out."

Cheri believes grounding has special health benefits. "Did you know that connecting with the Earth's negative charge can benefit your health in numerous ways? From reducing inflammation and stress to improving sleep and boosting energy, grounding has a profound impact. It's like a natural reset button for our bodies. Studies suggest it positively influences red blood cells, promoting better circulation and helping prevent diseases. Let's prioritize this simple yet impactful practice for a healthier, more balanced life," she captioned an Instagram video.

Cheri starts her day with a glass of lemon water. "Juice half a lemon into your water and you'll add a mere 6 calories to your diet," Roxanne B. Sukol, MD, MS, tells the Cleveland Clinic. "Plus you'll get more than a sixth of your daily vitamin C, which is needed to protect us from cell damage and repair injury."

Cheri loves to embrace and nurture her feminine energy. "Don't forget to prioritize self-care," she captioned an Instagram post. "Taking time for yourself, pampering, and practicing self-love are essential aspects of being in your feminine. Remember, there's no one-size-fits-all definition of femininity. It's a deeply personal and individual journey. Embrace your uniqueness, explore your feminine energy, and let it guide you towards a more authentic and fulfilling life."

Sophie Kasaei Shares Photo From the Caribbean

Sophie Kasaei is living her best life in the tropics in her swimsuit. In a new social media post shared from the Caribbean, the Geordie Shore star shows off her insane body in a bathing suit. "I'm more of a island type of gurylllll," she captioned the series of Instagram snaps, driving her followers wild. "Island queen," commented one. "Bloody gorgeous," added another.

Sophie lost a lot of weight in 2018, which she attributes to coming to terms with her disillusionment about eating. "When I look back, I just remember how indulged I used to be with food. My whole life revolved around food, I'd be eating breakfast and thinking about what I was going to have for dinner, I was just food obsessed," she told Fabulous. "I thought I could eat what I wanted. Looking back, I never ever thought I was big. I had one of those mindsets where I thought I was smaller than I actually was. I don't know if I had body dysmorphia, but the other way round. I genuinely thought I was a lot smaller. I think that's probably why I was unhealthy for all those years, because I genuinely thought I was normal."

Eliminating takeout can make a huge difference with weight loss, according to Sophie. "I've lost about 10lb during lockdown – that's in two months, so a pound a week," she told Fabulous. "That's just because I'm not eating takeaways and I'm not traveling up and down the country for work, stopping at services for meals. I've been cooking really healthy meals for myself."

Rise and exercise, says Sophie. "When I get up, I workout straightaway with my dad for an hour, because that makes me feel great," she told Fabulous. Physical activity is anything that gets your body moving. Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.

Weight gain and loss is "easy come, easy go," according to Sophie, so the occasional cheat meal is totally fine. "I don't worry about gaining a couple of pounds, if I do put weight on I know I can easily lose it, because I know exactly how my body works," she told Fabulous. "If I over indulge, I don't put myself down about putting weight on. That's not me at all."

Sophie's diet involves little carbs. "Breakfast is two chicken sausages with scrambled or poached eggs, mushrooms, tomatoes and a slice of gluten-free bread. I'm a sucker for a Starbucks sugar-free caramel latte with coconut milk," she told Closer UK. "For lunch, I'll always have some sort of seafood – maybe prawns. If I'm out, I'll get a protein box of chicken, broccoli and eggs, or a soup. I'll usually end up eating dinner late, around 9pm, which isn't great as it'll just sit on my stomach. I'll have fish, roast vegetables and microwaveable rice. I snack on chicken Fridge Raiders, Quavers, Wotsits or popcorn. I really prefer savory foods – I think most Northerners do, which is why there's a Greggs on every corner in Newcastle!"

Model Kelly Gale recently enjoyed a mountain trip, and shared some photos

Kelly Gale is a successful model. She's best known for her work with Victoria's Secret, and having walked in their show. Gale has also worked with Sports Illustrated. She recently enjoyed a mountain trip, and shared some photos on Instagram. In them, Gale sat in a hot tub and took photos. She wore a gold two-piece swimsuit in the photos. Gale captioned the post, "Love a good hot tub sesh in the mountains."

Gale makes sure to stay in shape. She also likes to do a variety of workouts. Gale shared her favorites in an interview with Grazia. "I do a lot of walking. Then I do boxing, and jump-rope and Pilates. I like to mix it up, so sometimes I train with my personal trainer, sometimes I take classes because I feel like my body gets very used to it if I just do the same thing all the time."

In addition to working out, Gale also eats healthy. She shared some of her favorite meals and what she eats after working out with Grazia. "I have a green juice in the morning – a big one – with kale, spinach, celery, cucumber, two lemons and lots of ginger," she says. "I'll do like a more intense workout in the morning and then for lunch I have lean proteins, like all the seafood I want and white fish, turkey and lots of veggies."

Gale values being healthy, and revealed why in an interview with ELLE. "I had a phase when I rebelled and ate candy all the time, and wasn't exercising as much as I had been doing before, and that changed how I was feeling—my mood, my body and my mind. I think it was healthy for me to have a phase like that because it made me realise what I don't want to feel like shit! So it didn't take long until I started taking extra good care of myself again, nourishing my body from the inside out."

In her ELLE interview, Gale shared some of her favorite foods and skincare products. She says that she uses coconut oil for a lot of things. "After dry brushing I use coconut oil (sometimes mixed with my favourite essential oils) all over my body, and sometimes I put it in my hair and sleep with it in, it makes your hair super soft and nourishes the scalp. I also use coconut oil as my makeup remover because my skin is sensitive and I find coconut oil to be very gentle. It's such a versatile product, I really do use it for everything."

Gale tells ELLE that one of her favorite healthy foods is acai. "When I'm in NYC, I like to make my own acai bowls with frozen acai berries and powdered acai berries. My skin always looks amazing when I'm consuming acai frequently." Gale says that she eats acai before a show or a job, like the Victoria's Secret show.

Gia Giudice displayed her flawless physique while enjoying a vacation in the Bahamas

Gia Giudice, 22, loves nothing more than rocking bikinis on vacation, and in a new set of Instagram photos, she did so yet again — this time, in the Bahamas! In photos you can view below, the reality TV star rocked the strapless red bikini and a pair of devastating shades as she held her hair up and posed on the beach at sundown.

A third pic in the January 10 carousel showed her walking away from the camera, showing off the thong design on her scarlet red bikini bottoms. Gia also shared an image of the breezy interior of a resort overlooking the shimmering waters. “Bahamas photos loading…” she captioned the photo collection on Wednesday.

Sister Milania Giudice was among the first to react to the gorgeous pics. “Purrrr,” she gushed, alongside a row of flame emojis. Gia has nearly one million fans on the platform, and many rushed to the comments thread to swoon over the photos.

“Queen,” wrote one, while another remarked, “hot mama.” “That body tho,” gushed a third, with a fourth noticing her resemblance to her mother, Real Housewives of New Jersey‘s Teresa Giudice.

“Like I have said before Gia looks just like her mom, from head to toe in every way,” they observed. “The third picture just proves she is built like her mama.”

Gia, who was HollywoodLife’s cover star in December, opened up about what message she hopes to convey to young women as an influencer and entrepreneur. “I want to inspire young women to speak up and advocate for themselves,” she said in part. “After receiving backlash for speaking up for myself and my family, it made it so much more important for me to share this message with other young women.

No matter the opinion of others, you have a right to speak up and use your voice. Finding your voice can be a tough journey for young women at times and I want them to know they aren’t alone. “

Bella Hadid is looking amazing

Bella Hadid is showing off. In a recent social media post, the stunning supermodel flaunts her incredible figure in a tiny bathing suit while poolside. "You look absolutely perfect," commented one of her followers, while many others added fire emojis.

Bella doesn't exercise on an empty stomach. "I count on a smoothie, a juice, or a protein drink 30 minutes before the session. After the session, I eat something full of protein like chicken and wholegrain rice. It's ideal to strengthen the muscle mass and to increase the effects of the session," she told French Vogue.

Hydration and rest are crucial, says Bella. "I try to drink as much water, and get as much sleep, as I can," she told Harper's Bazaar. 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.

"We're on the go so much that it's hard to eat clean, but I always feel better when I do," Bella told Harper's Bazaar. "I've always had a difficult relationship with food. In high school, my relationship with food came from not having control, but food was the one thing I could control. So I would micromanage and make schedules for food, but it's more important to check what's good for your body and your own biology," she added in another interview with Harper's Bazaar.

Bella is an avid snowboarder. She recently shared some photos of herself drinking her energy drink, Kin Euphorics, while on the mountain. According to the University of Rochester, snowboarding, like skiing, is a great cardiovascular workout. "Because they are also weight-bearing exercises, they strengthen your bones as they tone your muscles," they say. "Cardiovascular or aerobic exercises also work to reduce your risk for chronic diseases, and lower blood pressure. They also help you maintain a healthy body weight. Through regular aerobic exercise like skiing and snowboarding, you lower your risk of developing conditions like diabetes and heart disease, having a stroke, and perhaps even getting cancer."

"I always say that first thing in the morning, you have to start your day by staring at the sun. When I was going through a difficult time, I would pull myself out of bed, open the blinds, and then just stare at the sun. But it's so true! And now, I have a sun light and I drink Actual Sunshine, our new Kin flavor, which honestly makes me feel like I'm walking on air," Bella told Harper's Bazaar.

"I don't feel the need [to drink alcohol] because I know how it will affect me at 3 in the morning when I wake up with horrible anxiety thinking about that one thing I said five years ago when I graduated high school," said Hadid in an interview with InStyle in January 2022. "There's just this never-ending effect of, essentially, you know, pain and stress over those few drinks that didn't really do much, you know?" In July 2023, she revealed that with "self love" she was ten months sober. "I'm so proud of anyone pushing through dry July," she wrote, promoting her non-alcoholic beverage drink Kin Euphorics. With Kin and lots of self love, I am almost 10 months no alcohol!" she wrote on Instagram. "I'm so proud of anyone discovering their sobriety," she added. "Or anyone who has had the courage to open their mind to Dry July!"

Bella has a few guilty pleasures. "My favorite go-to snack, I eat pizza, at least once a day. It's always like a go-to cuz it always, you know, it tastes good every time," Bella told ID. "There's no bad pizza. Also seaweed snacks randomly. Oh, sour Patch Kids and Rose Champagne if i'm feeling frisky."

Julianne Hough and Nina Dobrev Pose in Swimsuits on a Happy Birthday

Julianne Hough is celebrating her best friend, Nina Dobrev, on her birthday – by sharing photos of the duo in their swimsuits. In a new social media post the dancer-slash-actress shows off her incredible body in a bathing suit alongside her Vampire Diaries pal. "Today marks another year around the sun for one of the brightest lights!" she captioned the series of instagram snaps.

"I love to make every moment a luxury experience," Hough told Women's Health. "Whether it's in the bathtub and having bubbles and meditation music playing and my crystals and whatever it is, or I'm in the shower and I'm just rushing out through the day, at least I know that I'm being taken care of in the best way possible."

Hough is also a fan of regular body scans. What is a body scan? She explained to Pure Wow that it is a form of guided meditation practice that has you lie down, stay aware of your breath, and mindfully soften each part of your body, from head to toe. "I love meditating and doing energy work," she said. "It really helps me get out of my head and into my body."

"I love making sure my environment is like, candles lit or incense burning, just to create the experience and get my mindset in a really calming way, so I can self-regulate before I get crazy again with work stuff," Hough told Women's Health .

"Pilates, yoga, working out with a trainer," are a few of Hough's workouts. She likes to maintain variety with exercise because "it keeps everything fresh and helps me fuel my body's different needs," she told Shape. "Recovery is also a second workout to me," she added. "We always think about the fact that we have to push, push, push, but without that recovery, it leads to burnout. It's about that balance. I think we haven't focused enough on recovery in the athletic or the artistic athlete (dancers)."

"Just like my weight, the timing fluctuates [laughs]. I try to go to bed at ten and on good nights, I am able to. For the most part, I crawl into bed at ten and watch a TV show or a movie and fall asleep by 11:30 p.m. or midnight. Not bad, but it could be better," Dobrev told The Cut about bedtime. "I also sleep with a sound machine. Sound machines are my secret weapon because they drown out any noise and keep you in this even-keeled environment that's peaceful and chill."

Nina has another "trick" up her sleeve when it comes to sleep. "Chamomile tea," she said. "Those are my tricks. I don't count sheep or anything." Numerous studies have shown that a variety of teas may boost your immune system, fight off inflammation, and even ward off cancer and heart disease.

"To unwind at night," Nina might watch something on Netflix. "Or I'll read. I recently finished Cat Marnell's How to Murder Your Life," she told Harper's Bazaar. Why should you read at night? 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.

Nina's health hack for not looking tired? "I was on a vampire show for a very, very long time, so we shot at night and [I] didn't sleep very much," she told Vogue. "One thing that I learned recently is that dark circles appear because you're dehydrated, so it's important to drink a lot of water."

Fitness Tammy Hembrow is reminding fans and followers that working out is as much about feeling good as it is about looking good

Fitness influencer Tammy Hembrow is reminding fans and followers that working out is as much about feeling good as it is about looking good. Hembrow, 29, shared a video of herself wearing two-piece workout outfits, using heavy dumbbells. "Remember we all start somewhere. For me training isn't just about aesthetics, it's about the strength & mental gain I get from it. That strong feeling ???? nothing quite like it. @womensbest creatine has always been a part of my journey & definitely has helped with my goals along the way," she captioned the post.

Hembrow fits her workouts around her family. "I honestly feel better when I get my workout in, less sluggish and I find it easier to keep up with my kids," the mother-of-two tells Women's Health. "Whether it's a gym workout or HIIT home workout I always try to fit it in when I can. I will often do some workouts from my at home booty program – you only need dumbbells, or I will do a HIIT workout in the lounge room. I recently posted an at home HIIT workout on my YouTube channel. I did it in the process of moving house when I was really feeling the need for a pick-me-up. There was a lot going on that week and I was feeling it, I decided to film and post it on my channel to show how I can fit in a quick workout throughout your day."

Hembrow had to fine-tune her diet to get enough protein. "For me lean protein like chicken breast, turkey and fish, really helps, but I find that with trying to build my booty I wasn't consuming the amount of protein I needed so supplements like protein shakes helped too," she tells Women's Health. "But I didn't supplement my meals with these, it was always a combination of both. I needed to eat lots to build that area so I also ate lots of complex carbohydrates like brown rice, oatmeal, potatoes and healthy fats. I eat every two to three hours. For breakfast I usually eat oats with Women's Best protein powder. I always have protein shakes after my workouts and love to eat fish, chicken, turkey, beans and vegetables. I've been trying to cut back on meat lately which I have found difficult. I usually end my day with oats and protein again. Boring I know!"

Hembrow kept working out throughout her pregnancies. "What helped me bounce back is definitely how I ate and trained as I was pregnant," Hembrow said. "I ate very clean, I had a lot of veggies, a lot of protein, and I tried to only limit my treats to the weekends, so during the weekdays I was eating clean all the time. What kept me going is how I wanted to look after the baby. I knew I wanted to get fit again after the baby, and be in the best shape I could be, so I wanted to make it easier for myself by staying active while I was pregnant."

Hembrow wore a postpartum binder to help get back into shape again. "For about a week or so, I wore a postpartum binder — they gave me one at the hospital," she says. "I definitely didn't just snap back to my pre-baby body once I stepped out of the hospital, you still look pregnant when you step out of the hospital. I wasn't in a rush or anything, but as soon as I got home I was eating clean, I was wearing the postpartum binder, and then I started working out about six weeks after the birth."

Hembrow has learned to go with the flow since having children. "Being a mum and running a business is still a juggling act for me, I honestly just try my best to manage my time and plan but as a mom, you know that sometimes planning goes out the window," she tells Women's Best. "I've definitely learned not to beat myself up about failure. You can't do everything right all the time, failing is a part of being a parent and a business owner. You learn from your mistakes and you're often smarter from it. I guess you could say becoming a mum made me more resilient in my home life and business."

Gracie Hunt shows off her incredible body during a Cabo San Lucas getaway

Gracie Hunt is revealing her 2024 health goals – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the Kansas City Chiefs heiress shows off her incredible body in a bathing suit during a Cabo San Lucas, Mexico getaway. "New Year = better habits??? If you're like me and resolved to level up this year, swipe through the post for some simple things that have positively impacted my life and/or that I want to incorporate more of in 2024," she captioned the post. "Remember, progress takes time, so be patient with yourself. Celebrate even the smallest victories and keep pushing forward. Good luck with your healthy habits."

"Exercise consistently," Gracie suggests in her first tip. "Set a realistic exercise schedule starting with shorter workouts and gradually increasing duration and intensity over time," is one of her suggestions. Another? "Take the stairs," she writes. "Choose stairs over elevators or escalators whenever possible. It adds up to significant calorie burn and increases cardiovascular fitness."

Gracie also says to "Eat cleaner," in 2024. "Focus on whole foods like fruits, vegetables, and lean proteins. Limit processed foods and sugary snacks. She also suggests experimenting with cooking methods of vegetables to "make veggies more enjoyable."

Hydration is also key, according to Gracie. "Drink more water. Carry a water bottle and set goals to drink a certain amount each day. Track your progress," she writes. 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.

"Start yoga," suggests Gracie as another way to prioritize health in the new year. "Try beginner-friendly yoga videos or join a beginner's class. Focus on proper form and gradually increase difficulty." 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."

Another important health aspect that Gracie touches upon. "Manage stress," she writes. "Practice deep breathing, meditation, or engaging in activities you enjoy. Prioritize self-care and don't let setbacks derail you," she says. A good way to do this is to "Disconnect and meditate," she writes. "Start each day away from electronics with 15 minutes of quiet time. It improves mood, reduces anxiety and fosters kindness." Gracie is spot-on about meditation. "When you meditate, you may clear away the information overload that builds up every day and contributes to your stress," says the Mayo Clinic. Benefits include:

Gaining a new perspective on stressful situations

Building skills to manage your stress

Increasing self-awareness

Focusing on the present

Reducing negative emotions

Increasing imagination and creativity

Increasing patience and tolerance

Lowering resting heart rate

Lowering resting blood pressure

Improving sleep quality

Also, "Read more books," says Gracie. "Set aside dedicated time each day or week. Create a cozy reading nook. Join a book club or explore different genres." 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.

Jen Selter shares some fitness tips

Fitness model Jen Selter is sharing some highly encouraging and realistic fitness tips for 2024. Selter, 30, posted a video of herself working out in a green two-piece outfit, using dumbbells and resistance bands.

"Some tips to help you stay motivated:

Set Realistic Goals

Create a Routine

Track Progress

Find a Workout Buddy

Mix It Up

Reward Yourself

Listen to Your Body

Be proud of yourself at every step of your fitness journey. It's not just a destination, it's a lifestyle??," she captioned the post. Here's what Selter's diet and workouts look like, and her advice for living your best life.

Selter's enviable glutes are the result of plenty of lunges and squats. "Some of my favorite lower body movements are squat and lunge variations, stairmaster intervals and kickbacks," she tells New Beauty. "I like working them into my workout routine by doing them in two-movement supersets, or Tabata-style, to get my heart rate up. I share all of my workout tips and a complete lower body and booty guide on my app with Fitplan. You get a free week trial, and it's where I share all my secrets to reach your lower body's best potential!"

Selter swears by hydration and cheat meals for a happy, balanced life. "There's only so much you can do in a gym, nutrition is just as important! It's crucial to fuel your body with the proper nutrients to recover fast and build muscle," she tells New Beauty. "But that doesn't mean there's no room for cheat meals! A healthy life and a healthy diet is all about balance. By far, my number one accessory is my water bottle, I need it to stay hydrated. Sometimes I forget to drink enough water both in and out of the gym. I also love having a pair of gloves to assist me when I'm lifting weights. I like Props Athletics gloves, or any gloves that have a nice design."

Selter is not one of those fitness influencers who skips breakfast. "Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day!" she tells Women Fitness. "I usually start my mornings with a smoothie which I make myself with my BlendJet which is a portable blender. My shakes are blended with a mixture of fruits, nuts, oat milk, and coffee. Following my shake I will have eggs or oatmeal, I usually alternate. On the weekends I enjoy cooking protein pancakes which are delicious. I have recipes on my Instagram, blog, and YouTube. I'm all about moderation! I don't believe in depriving yourself of the things you love most. For example, I LOVE dark chocolate. I don't remember the last day I went a day without having it! But I don't over indulge. I also LOVE my cheat meals, and have a cheat meal once a week."

Selter feels empowered after sharing her battles with anxiety on social media. "After sharing on my stories that I've suffered from anxiety, so many of my followers reached out with such a strong sense of support and advice," she tells Women Fitness. "It made me realize that so many people are struggling with mental health disorders and no one really talks about it. So many people were saying 'but your life seems so perfect.' That is just a social media facade. So I would say the best part is that I have this AMAZING community that I am so thankful for. The worst part is that sharing my personal life can be a bit intimidating. However, sharing this inner struggle with my followers has taught me so much."

Selter wants everyone to feel confident in themselves and appreciate their own unique qualities. "My first bit of advice is to eliminate all negative thoughts and negative energy about who you are. No one is perfect, embrace your flaws! It's what makes you, YOU," she tells New Beauty. "Your goal should be to be the best version of yourself, and that means finding confidence and having a positive outlook on who you are. I always recommend waking up and writing down a few things you love about yourself and using them as a mantra throughout the day. Avoid comparing yourself to others and stay focused on you, your goals and your best qualities. For every negative thought, replace it by two good ones, and don't stop until you appreciate your beautiful self."

Charli D'Amelio shows off her amazing body

Charli D'Amelio is living her best life in the Bahamas in her swimsuit. In a recent social media post the TikTok and reality star shows off her amazing body in a bathing suit alongside pal GiaNina Paolantonio while vacationing with a group of friends at Grand Hyatt Baha Mar. "What a time lol," she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. "Gorgeous Girls," commented one of her millions of followers.

Charli, her sister, and mother Heidi regularly train with Ben Bruno. In a recent TikTok video, they do a variety of strength and weight training exercises. Working out with others is a great way to keep yourself accountable and make exercise fun.

One of the main ways Charli burns calories is by dancing. "You know, dance wasn't something that I found fun anymore. It was something that was more just, I did to do it and, you know, it was over when it was over and I didn't look forward to it anymore. And I think with Dancing With the Stars every week, it's like, you know, I'm hearing from other people that I finally look like I'm having fun," she told People. "I look happy and I'm feeling, kind of, those same things that I used to feel when I was younger, dancing, that I kind of lost and thought that I wouldn't find again," she said. "Just because it had been so long without being that excited for performance. To be able to do that again is really a full circle moment for me and just makes me really happy." 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.

Charli engages in the occasional cheat meal. Her go-to? Dunkin Donuts, who she ended up partnering with. "The Dunkin Donuts collaboration came about after a lot of free promotion. For a while, everyone thought I was getting paid. But I was not. I just shamelessly promoted and promoted because I really wanted to work with them. And then they finally gave me the opportunity and I immediately took it," she told Forbes.

Charli loves coffee so much, she has "two of my own drinks on the menu and sold-out cold brew nationwide" at Dunkin," she told Forbes. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. "It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function," they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

Charli is also a walker. On Valentine's Day she took a long walk on the beach with her boyfriend, Landon Barker. 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.

Millie Bobby Brown shows off her incredible body while vacationing in the tropics

Millie Bobby Brown is heating up social media in her swimsuit. In a recent post the Stranger Things star shows off her incredible body in a bathing suit while vacationing in the tropics. "Cherry lips, crystal skies," she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. Her fiance, Jake Bongiovi, commented with bride and heart emojis, while other followers commented with fire emojis.

Millie is such an advocate of hydration that she recently partnered with Essentia water. She drinks at least half a bottle of water when she wakes up in the morning. "I've always found that hydration is the biggest key to keeping your skin happy and healthy and that is what Essentia's message is, so it felt like the most organic relationship," she told Women's Health.

Millie claims that she isn't a picky eater. "I'll never say no to anything," she told Women's Health. Her favorite breakfast and lunch meals include huevos rancheros and Greek salad. "[Huevos rancheros] is what I'd get if I'm going to a breakfast place, other than that I am not the type to order an omelet," she added. She also loves Italian food and fruits like apples, pears, mangos, and grapes.

According to Millie, spending time with her animals is her go-to form of detressing. "Animal healing is the biggest way to calm down for me, personally," she told Women's Health. Her little zoo includes a pet donkey, goats, five dogs, a cat, and a dwarf bunny named Bellatrix. "Everything revolves around my animals," she added.

"I don't really follow wellness trends because they come and go so easily," Millie told Women's Health. However she does make sure to hydrate and wear sunscreen. "I drink water right before bed and right as my eyes open in the morning," she says.

Millie's go-to form of exercise is fighting. "It's not a training workout. I train to box," she told Vulture. "Obviously I don't want to do it professionally. But I have done some inter-clubs before. It's at Phoenix MMA U.K., down in London. It's a great gym, and I have lots of friends. Because I'm homeschooled, I get kind of lonely sometimes. So I like to go to the gym. I do Thai boxing Mondays, jujitsu Tuesdays and Thursdays, and Wednesdays I do boxing with Mark. He was a world champion at one point. I absolutely love it. I actually have a punching bag right outside in my garden. I'm obsessed with working out. I eat like a pig so it kind of makes up for that."

According to Brown, "wintertime is all about staying inside and self-care," she told Eating Well. "I journal, I read, I'm drinking lots of water. I'm taking care of my skin care, I really value that time of staying in and being with myself: taking baths and hydrating my skin. I've always valued that, but I definitely do it more when it's wintertime, especially because my skin gets so dry in the winter."

Christie Brinkley shows off legs in swimsuit ahead of 70th birthday

Christie Brinkley is aging like fine wine!

The 69-year-old Bellissima Prosecco founder recently took to Instagram to post a stunning bathing suit photo.

Posing in the clear blue water during a trip to Turks & Caicos, the icon showed off a strapless white swimsuit, although the focus was surely on her long legs, which she held up in the air.

The model seemed to be having fun ahead of her 70th birthday, which is coming up on Feb. 2.

“Water, Sky, Seashells and Driftwood..a few of my favorite things,” she captioned the shot, tagging Lucky House, the three-bedroom, beachfront villa she owns in Parrot Cay.

The star also included a video she took from a boat in an additional slide.

Brinkley, of course, made sure to protect her skin during her excursion, pairing her swim look with a straw hat. She also showed off the accessory in her Instagram Story, adding the text “Swim and Stretch” to another shot of her in the water.

It appears that, while in town, Brinkley attended the Annual Parrot Cay International Tennis Tournament with her son, Jack Brinkley-Cook and his Canadian tennis pro girlfriend, Genie Bouchard.

The model made sure to share a few shots of all the action in a previous post, including a few photos of Bouchard playing actor Tom Hiddleston, who also attended the event.

The Sports Illustrated covergirl is no stranger to showing off her body while on vacation. Back in 2022, she shared a few bikini pictures from the same location, lounging in a driftwood cabana.

In June of last year, the model clapped back at haters who attacked her appearance on social media.

“Update: Whoa Nelly ! The Wrinkle Brigade is out in full force in the comment thread!” she wrote in response to mean comments she received on a selfie, where people ridiculed her about chest wrinkles and the use of filler.

Thankfully, Brinkley hasn’t let the trolls stop her from sharing snippets of her life, also recently revealing that she’ll be keeping her famous blond hair despite “pressure” to “go gray” as she ages.

And, she’s hoping to pass the baton on to other stars like 77-year-old Dolly Parton, whom Brinkley suggested should cover Sports Illustrated Swim after her statement-making Dallas Cowboys game performance in November.

Tate McRae shows off her amazing body while vacationing in Mexico

Tate McRae is heating up Cabo – in her swimsuit. In a recent social media post the Greedy singer shows off her amazing body in a bathing suit while vacationing in Mexico. "Just a tad burnt," she captioned the series of snaps. "The crush of all timeee," commented one of her followers. "Girl has been on fire so much she got burnt," added another.

Tate is such an advocate about hydration that she partnered with Essentia water. 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.

Tate's main form of fitness is something she has been doing her whole life. "I love to dance. I've been dancing all my life," Tate told Refinery 29. "I started dancing around the age of 6. It began as a hobby that I was definitely not seriously interested in. I loved performing, but hated when I actually had to do what I was told," she added to Everly. "I only started getting serious when my mom took me to New York at age 8. I was extremely inspired and motivated! It gave me something to work toward and was the moment when I realized I wanted to dance for the rest of my life. From then on, I have been training nonstop and am always pushing myself to my greatest potential." She also slips in dance-inspired workout classes when she can. "Sometimes i reminisce on my ballet days," she captioned a recent Instagram 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.

In early 2024, Tate revealed that she recently started taking care of her skin. "I am very new to skin care. I've basically just been using water my whole life," she told Vogue. She starts her routine with Augustinus Bader's serum, followed by rose-pink eye patches—"so I don't look dead," she said. Then she uses a jade roller. "I just do this to bring circulation back into my skin." Next up she slathers Augustinus Bader face cream on her face, explaining that her hometown of Calgary, Canada "is probably the driest place on earth," and"You have to make sure you're using a deep moisturizer."

Tate is an avid coffee drinker. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. "It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function," they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

In her latest post shared while on vacation, Tate goes jet skiing with her friends. 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.

Josie Canseco flaunts her amazing figure

Josie Canseco is heating up social media in her swimsuit. In a social media post shared over the holidays, Jose Canseco's model daughter flaunts her amazing figure in a bathing suit while wearing a snorkel mask. She captioned the series of Instagram snaps "scuba stevee," driving her followers wild. "Hot," commented one of them. "You'are the most beautiful girl," added another.

Josie's favorite workout is spinning. "I love cycling, I do it all the time. It's a good cardio mix. I'm all about cardio and high intensity music," Canseco told Us Weekly. To prep for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show she cycled "maybe like two or three times a week." 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.

"Rumble classes" and boxing are also part of her routine. "Boxing training one-on-one, like really focused and in my zone," she added to Us. Harvard Health maintains that boxing is a great way to build strength, improve balance, posture, hand-eye coordination, boost mood and endurance, and helps increase alertness.

"Anything with music really," helps Josie during her sweat sessions. "Music is really like my therapy. So anything that's pretty much music-involved gets your head in the game," she told Us. "OMG I listen to literally everything. So if I'm working out it's a mix of, like, Eminem is definitely my pump-up song," said the Playboy model. "He's the best, he's one of my favorite rappers ever. And 50 Cent — like, definitely more hardcore things that get me into that kind of, like, ego-driven mind space, you know what I mean? Like, 'Go hard, I can do this, I'm the best, I can do this,' blah blah blah."

"I grew up playing sports and being very active," Josie told Us. "So for me, it's kind of a routine thing that just helps me feel better about myself, about my life and my confidence. And I feel like that shines through when you feel good about what you've done."

Josie feels the most confident "when I've really been on a good routine of eating right and eating a lot of vegetables and good proteins and balancing my diet — and it's not all about going full-in and being, like, cold-turkey, cutting things out and being like a health freak. It's all about balance for me," she told Us. "I've been slowly transitioning to be pescatarian. "I just kind of have a soft spot for animals and down the line, I'd like to work with them and have my own nonprofit one day. So not eating red meats and chicken obviously, and slowly transitioning into [not eating fish]," she continued. "It's just balance. It's OK to have pizza and stuff like that, but [weight loss] should be hard work, it shouldn't be easy."

In her most recent post, Josie revealed that she is a fan of snorkeling. Surprisingly, putting on a snorkel and fins and swimming through the water is a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.

Kelly Ripa looks amazing at 53

Kelly Ripa a celebrated television personality flaunts her fit body at age 53.

In an episode of Harper's Bazaar The Food Diaries, Kelly detailed everything she eats in a day, starting with a glass of water and "something called Get Off Your Acid. Daily Greens, which is spirulina spinach, kale, all ground to a powder that you mix into water and it is for alkalining, your digestive system," she said. She follows that with a large coffee and her morning supplements, "which is my foundational vitamin, my multivitamin, ginger, and my probiotic."

After hosting her morning show, she will have "a green apple cut up" and blends them with two tablespoons of almond butter and a teaspoon of cinnamon. "And I eat that like a porridge, if you will, and that is my first chewable food of the day," she says.

"I work out seven days a week. My body wants to work out," Kelly said. She usually watches a show while she works out on the treadmill.

Kelly moves on to "what I consider brunch, if you will, because I eat lunch at such a weird hour," she says. "It's really like a breakfast, lunch. I have a big salad of micro greens with avocado and toasted nuts on top. Sometimes I have pine nuts, sometimes I have pumpkin seeds, sometimes I have walnuts, sometimes I have cashews, whatever I'm in the mood for." She added that for two years avocado toast "was pretty much the foundation of my diet, and I had it with just about every meal. Sometimes I would fry an egg and add that on top. Sometimes a piece of cheese would accompany the avocado toast, but the avocado toast was a real staple of my diet," she added.

"For dinner, I have usually a smaller version of the same salad that I had for lunch, and then I have either mixed grilled greens or whatever's in season," she continued. "I try to eat whatever is in season in terms of vegetables, and then I have usually some sort of plant protein mixed in there, like a grilled tofu. Sometimes I'll have a fried tofu, sometimes I have some sort of tahini."

As for snacks, "I have handfuls of nuts, lots of raw cashews, lots of raw almonds, lots of raw pistachios," says Kelly. "I never eat more than a handful, but I have several handfuls a day. I try not to have that many cheat meals because cheat meals lead to a cheat lifestyle at my age, and this is at my age, so if you are younger, enjoy that aspect of your life. But at my age now, I find that it takes too much effort to get ready, so I just stay ready if that makes any sense."

On occasion Kelly will eat cake. "On my birthday, will I have cake? Of course, I'm not a monster. At Christmas, do I eat cookies? Yes, I'm a human being. But in general terms, I try not to cheat too much. What I will indulge in is a delicious chocolate covered almond or chocolate covered cashew," she said, "so I still feel like there's something healthy in there. I also have been making a chia pudding, like delicious chocolate chia pudding."

Kelly ends the day "right before bed" with a nightcap. "I have a giant ginger turmeric tea." She then takes her evening supplements and "I truly fall asleep within 25 minutes."

Maribel Guardia enjoying a vacation in the Bahamas

Maribel Guardia first rose to fame when she won Miss Costa Rica in 1978. She then began a career in the entertainment industry. Guardia starred in shows like Tu y yo and Una familia con suerte. Guardia is also a singer and TV host. She's currently enjoying a vacation in the Bahamas, and shared a set of swimsuit photos on Instagram. Guardia captioned the post, "AND THE BEAUTIFUL OF THIS IS LIFE. COSER SUEÑOS, BORDAR STORIES AND POWER TO UNLEASH. THE KNOTS OF OUR DAYS.

Guardia is an avid dancer. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself dancing. Guardia shared a video of herself dancing on stage. Prudential reports that dance has a lot of health benefits. "The movements associated with dance can increase flexibility and reduce stiffness. Don't over-exert yourself though – even the simple stretches associated with dancing can help ease joint pain and any soreness from other more strenuous exercises."

Guardia makes sure to eat healthy, and avoids unhealthy foods as much as she can. She shared some of her secrets in an interview. One of Guardia's secrets is carrying healthy options with her. "I try to carry healthy things in the bag, so I don't have to eat filthy things like chips, candy and so on."

Guardia is a big believer in balance when it comes to her diet. Especially when it comes to carbohydrates. In the same interview, Guardia says that she limits carbs during most of the week, and has one day where she indulges. "When I eat a tortilla in the morning, for the rest of the day I don't eat another one and I avoid bread," she explained. "On Sundays I eat everything: pizza, hamburgers, desserts."

Guardia likes to spend time outside. One thing she likes to do is go on hikes. She shared these photos and videos on Instagram of herself hiking in Costa Rica. The Cleveland Clinic states that hiking has a lot of benefits, including helping people with their sleep. "If you struggle to get a good night's sleep, then a hike might be beneficial. Exposure to vitamin D can help control your wake-sleep cycle. And being outside and exercising will also raise your body's temperature, so when your internal temperature goes back down, it can lull you into sleep."

Guardia makes sure to stretch, and shared this photo of herself working out on Instagram. She captioned the post, "Stretch your body, your mind and your heart." The Mayo Clinic states that stretching has a lot of benefits. "However, research has shown that stretching can help improve flexibility, and, as a result, the range of motion of your joints. Better flexibility may: Improve your performance in physical activities. Decrease your risk of injuries. Help your joints move through their full range of motion. Increase muscle blood flow. Enable your muscles to work most effectively. Improve your ability to do daily activities."

Alessandra Ambrosio looking incredible in a bikini

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."

Emilia Bechrakis chasing the Sun

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.
