Constanza Romero says it is hard work modeling bathing suits

It's hard work modeling bathing suits. Just ask Constanza Romero. The Gran Hermano star shared pictures of herself posing on a bed, wearing a black two-piece swimsuit. "Siesta?" she captioned the post.

Romero enjoys the sun and sand at the beach. Hitting the beach is not just fun—research shows access to blue spaces can have a positive impact on mental health. "Simply staring out to sea can change the frequency of our brain waves and lure us into a mild meditative state," according to Sea Sanctuary.

Romero loves spending time in the pool. Research shows swimming is a good choice for low-impact exercise. "Recreational swimming will burn about the same calories as brisk walking," says Dr. I-Min Lee, a professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School.

Romero plays basketball, which is a great team sport. "For some of us, playing group sports can be an appealing way to remain active," says Felipe Lobelo, MD, PhD, FAHA. "Broader implementation of programs using group sports as a vehicle to deliver lifestyle change can help reduce the growing burden of physical inactivity."

Romero enjoys cold iced beverages. Research shows cold drinks can help burn more calories than room temperature liquids. "I calculated it, and for every ounce of ice that you eat, it takes five calories to melt it and bring it up to body temperature," says Brian Weiner, MD.

Romero loves spending time with dogs, which experts say can positively impact mental health. "Pet ownership has many possible mental health benefits," says Katherine Ponte, JD, MBA, CPRP. "It has been shown to reduce stress, depression and anxiety and improve overall quality of life in many ways."

Kristina Schulman shows off her amazing body

Kristina Schulman is getting her summer clothes ready, including her swimsuit. The former Bachelor star shows off her amazing body as she breaks out her "summer wardrobe" fon social media, modeling a neutral swimsuit for her followers.

Kristina prioritizes hydration. You can regularly find her carrying her water bottle around with her. According to the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine men should drink about 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day and women about 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids.

Kristin loves skiing. "Spending the winter perfecting my skiing craft, only to manifest Switzerland into my future," she captioned a photo of herself on the slopes. "Spend the day with me skiing in Big Bear," she teased in another. Research has linked downhill skiing to a number of health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress and the occurrence of memory deficits declines.

Kristina also hikes her way to a hot body. "I am to seek heights that oversee a city if I need a boost of inspiration or clarity. So here we are at?Runyon Canyon," she captioned a photo of herself on the trails. "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.

Kristina also rides horses. 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.

Kristina, who publicly battles skin issues, tries to stay on a dairy and gluten-free diet. In one of her posts, she says that avoiding inflammatory food generally keeps her skin issues at bay.

Maya Jama shared pictures from her vacation

British entertainment star Maya Jama is having the time of her life on a trip to New York City. Jama, 28, shared pictures from her vacation, including one where she's posing in a hat and blue bathing suit in front of her mirror.

Jama had a very specific training routine before I'm a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here! "Before my trip to Australia for I'm A Celeb, I started a vigorous summer workout plan, which consisted of three sets of burpees, jumping squats and planks (non-stop for 20 seconds then 40 seconds rest), followed by seated shoulder presses (three sets of ten reps), squats (three sets of ten reps), crunches (three rounds of 20 seconds non-stop plus a 40 second rest) and press-ups (three sets of ten reps)," she says. "'Although, I prefer weight training on the machines and I still do some cardio. I usually ease myself in with a run or fast walk on the treadmill."

Jama doesn't need to hit the gym to get some calories burned. "Every morning I put good music on and dance around my bedroom or run up and down the stairs," she says. "I've found wearing ankle weights really useful, putting on thick socks and weights while I do my daily activities for some extra resistance. And I've got a bike in front of my TV so I can jump on that when I'm watching something."

Jama loves taking part in group workouts. "With group exercise classes, you have other people's energy driving you," says UW Health Fitness Center fitness instructor Karla Bock. "If you need that push to be more consistent in your exercise, paying for a class may help," Bock says. "The fact that you paid for the class can be a motivator to get you to go, and if you miss it, you know the coach is going to ask you where you were last week."

Jama enjoys both the mental and physical benefits of regular exercise. "I just think [working out] helps your mental health so much anyway – there's a difference in how I feel if I go out and do some exercise versus just staying in bed all day," she says. "I notice how it impacts my brain and how I'm feeling."

Jama loves to stay active with high-energy workouts, including sessions with a trainer. "I have loads of energy so lately I've been trying to channel that into an exercise routine. But I'm still very much a beginner," she says. "I now work out three to four days a week because I know it's an important part of keeping healthy. I'm actually finding it quite fun. Once a week, I do a one-hour boxing workout with my trainer Bradley Simmonds, who keeps me motivated; if I'm on my own, I'll pump up high-energy songs like Bicycle by Vybz Kartel to get me through my workout."

Ashley Benson shows off her incredible body

Ashley Benson is heating up social media with her latest swimsuit selfie. The Pretty Little Liars alum shows off her incredible figure in one of her latest social media posts, posing in a bathing suit while on the beach in paradise. She shared the photo via her Instagram Stories.

Ashley maintains variety with exercises, doing a lot of different workouts. "I usually do Pilates three days a week for an hour, and I try to box or do SoulCycle two or three times a week," she told Health. "There are times I just want to do nothing! But then I don't feel good about myself."

Ashley's favorite move is "probably squats—and not for my butt but for my legs," she told Health. "We usually do circuit training, so I'll do 25 squats, then I'll run back and forth, and then I'll do lunges to the other side of the gym both ways, run, then squats. I can't move for days!"

Ashley prioritizes sleep. She even manages to sneak in some z's during the day. "I try to take an hour nap. If I don't get sleep, I found that I get really bad anxiety. I started getting panic attacks for two years straight," she told Health.

Ashley eats very healthy starting the day with a hard-boiled egg with iced coffee and a splash of half and half for breakfast, followed by a salad (or cheeseburger!) for lunch and fish if she is "trying to be healthy" for dinner. "Otherwise, probably a cheeseburger," she confessed to Delish.

"I've kind of taken a step back from social media," Ashley told Elle. "I don't want to spend my life on Instagram. I think it was necessary when I was on the show and now that I'm getting into new projects, but I feel like as I'm getting older I don't want people to see everything I'm doing all the time. I think it's very important to keep your private life private. Just let the fans see my work and then I can have my own personal life."

Aleida Núñez recently enjoyed a relaxing day by the pool

Aleida Núñez recently enjoyed a relaxing day by the pool. She shared a new set of photos from the day on Instagram. In it, Núñez is seen lounging in the water in a pink bathing suit. She captioned the post, "If I had to choose one more time, I'd choose you without a second thought…"

Núñez shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. One thing she likes to do to stay in shape is weight train. In a video, Núñez is seen doing different weight and strength training exercises. In it, Núñez is seen doing step-ups with a circle weight, using battle ropes, and weightlifting. Núñez captioned the post, "Kisses my beautiful hearts. ❤️ Take care of your body and soul women always strong."

Núñez makes sure to do cardio. One thing she likes to do is use an exercise bike. In a workout video she posted on Instagram, Núñez is seen using an exercise bike. She captioned the post, "Never give on your being in your mind body and soul." Using an exercise bike and a regular bike is very beneficial. Better Health states, "Cycling strengthens your heart muscles, lowers resting pulse and reduces blood fat levels. Research also shows that people who cycle to work have two to three times less exposure to pollution than car commuters, so their lung function is improved. A Danish study conducted over 14 years with 30,000 people aged 20 to 93 years found that regular cycling protected people from heart disease."

Núñez likes to dance to stay in shape. She sometimes likes to perform on stage. She shared a video on Instagram of one of her performances. Núñez captioned it, "Happy to share my show in Comalcalco, Tabasco. It will really be an unforgettable night with such caring people and I wish from my heart my dear twins meet many more years full of blessings."

Núñez loves to practice yoga to stay in shape. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself doing yoga. In a video, Núñez is seen in a headstand. She captioned the post, "Resist, persist…Wish you guys a life full of abundance of everything good.." She also shared a photo of herself doing yoga, captioning it, "Just breathe…Trust that the right thing will always come into your life.."

Núñez doesn't skip leg day. In several of her Instagram workout posts, she is seen doing leg workouts. Núñez shared a gym video on her page where she does a lot of lower body workouts. In it, she is seen doing squats with a barbell, donkey kicks with a weight, leg lifts while in a handstand, and weightlifting with her feet. She captioned the post, "Choose good habits."

Alexis Ren shows off her toned figure on the beach

Alexis Ren is ready for swimsuit weather and has the selfies to prove it. Ren shared a picture of herself posing in a yellow print bathing suit, complete with gold butterfly necklace. Her skin glowed with minimal makeup, completing her beachy look

Ren follows a plant-based diet (although she makes an occasional exception for fresh fish). "I've been dabbling in a plant-based diet for the last four years," she says. "I realized that there's such an abundance, you don't have to sacrifice taste or quality of food when you're vegan… When I wake up, I immediately have my coffee with vanilla soy creamer. I can't process the day without it."

Ren makes her own salads with kale, avocado, olive oil, garbanzo beans, and lime. Garbanzo beans—also known as chickpeas—are a good option for vegans, as they contain all nine essential amino acids. "Chickpeas are also an excellent source of non-animal protein," says Patricia Bridget Lane, RDN, LD/N. "They're great for vegetarians and vegans."

Ren used to avoid bread—but now she enjoys it, guilt-free. "Bread was always a trigger," she says. "I gauged how much I've healed off of my eating disorder based on if I can eat a piece of bread and be okay. Bread's not the enemy, and I know we need carbohydrates. The last six months, I've been loading bread into my diet and being okay. I'm at peace with it."

Ren incorporates yoga and Pilates into her fitness routine. "Yoga seems to have this powerful combination of the physical movement combined with the deep breathing, meditation and mindfulness aspect," says Corinna Keenmon MD, FAPA. "This total package helps us physically by increasing flexibility, along with heart and brain health. Plus, the cognitive and emotional improvements that happen over time are priceless."

Ren always makes room for delicious desserts. One of her favorites is raw pumpkin pie. "It's really about giving yourself permission to let things taste that good," she says. "Some of my favorite desserts are raw pastries. I always find it so fascinating that we can have pastries that are raw."

Elle Macpherson is showing off her supermodel figure

Elle Macpherson is showing off her supermodel body in a bathing suit. The gorgeous Aussie flaunts her famous figure in a swimsuit in one of her latest social media posts. "Stepping' up," she captioned the trio of Instagram snaps.

Elle recently revealed to Body + Soul that she hydrates first thing in the morning. "I like to start my day in the way I intend for it to flow. I'm usually up with the sun and the first thing I do is hydrate with filtered water and lime. I'll then get outside and put my feet on the earth to ground. I do some yoga in the morning sun, or Zach Bush's 4 Minute Workout to stimulate nitric oxide. Sometimes I'll go for a cold plunge afterwards followed by a matcha in the sunshine before getting ready for my day," she said.

Elle is a big fan of her Wellco The Super Elixir. "I'm loving the unflavored right now. I find it essential for wellness from within — it helps my sense of vitality, strengthens the immune system, supports the digestive system and gives my skin a healthy glow. I've found that it also seems to curb any sugar cravings so my moods are stable and it's easier to balance," she told Body + Soul.

Elle encourages a plant-based diet. "Being plant-based, I prefer meals made at home with love, with those I love. All my groceries are locally grown and organic, handpicked from the Saturday farmer's market. A normal meal might look like Dr Sara Siso's miso mushroom soup recipe with Japanese sweet potato. So very delicious – the more interesting the mushrooms, the better!" she told the publication.

Elle stresses the importance of self-care. "I'm a big believer in energy healing, so I'll take regular appointments for acupuncture, chiropractic, breath work and sound healing among others. I've just discovered the Russian Banyas, an ancient tradition of steam sauna including flaying with dry tree or herb branches called veniks," she said.

"I take care of my mind, body and spirit every day with breath practice and meditation," Elle revealed to Body + Soul. "My daily practice includes meditating in the morning for around 25 minutes – either guided, or in silence. I try to live my life in a perpetual flow of meditative connection rather than just at specified times."

Elle loves to workout, but chooses outdoor workout over indoor "I love being outside and connecting to nature. I choose activities where I am outside, close to nature as much as possible — hiking, biking, swimming or simply sitting in the fresh air and sunshine. I don't have a set schedule – I go with the flow, but I go," she explained.

Carolina Jaume shows off her famous figure getting some D therapy

Carolina Jaume is getting a little Vitamin D therapy in her swimsuit. The Ecuadorian actress shows off her famous figure in a bathing suit in one of her latest social media posts. "To heal my heart today I'm going out to the sea to take advantage of the sun," she captioned the Instagram post.

Carolina has struggled with self-love in the past but has come to terms with her body. "Today I feel comfortable in my own skin. It took me years and many experiences to be able to say this. It was not always like this and learning to love myself and feel comfortable with myself was a long process, and sometimes painful, but what had to happen so that today I could be who I am, feel how I feel and be able to share my story with you," she told El Diario.

Carolina battled an eating disorder in her 20s. "I hated it and I felt too uncomfortable in my own skin. Between diet and diet I took losing weight too far and had serious problems that affected my health. I got to weigh 105 pounds and I looked fat in the mirror and now that I look back on that time I realize that I had a serious eating disorder," she told El Diario. She eventually hit rock bottom when she ended up with a stomach ulcer. "It was there that I realized that my health went beyond my appearance. And so, I began my recovery therapy. I was learning that being skinny is not synonymous with being pretty, much less healthy."

After gaining weight and feeling unhealthy Carolina recently told her followers that she was making changes. "I don't know where I'm going, but I'm on my way. Thank you all for inspiring me, for telling me how much I'm worth, for giving me self-esteem, thanks to all the messages of love!!!! I'm blessed to have you as my followers here I am 20 pounds down, healthy and getting better day by day ❤️?I'm finding the best version of me," she captioned an Instagram post.

Carolina regularly exercises. To keep herself accountable she has workout buddies, who also make exercise fun.

Carolina also loves riding horses. "If you expose yourself to the greatest of your fears and you manage not to control them, then you can go and say you have achieved your freedom," she captioned a photo of herself horseback. 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.

Anna-May Robey flaunts her incredible figure

Anna-May Robey is enjoying the night in her swimsuit. The Love Island star flaunts her incredible figure in a blue bathing suit in one of her latest social media posts. "Evenings like this," the beauty captioned the Instagram post.

Anna-May makes sure to get her steps in by going on 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.

Anna-May's life is incredibly busy, but she understands the importance of self-care. "It's so important to make time for yourself and take a break sometimes. I've got back into a routine focusing on self-care," she captioned a recent post.

As a celebrity, Anna-May is no stranger to public scrutiny, but she tries not to let it get to her. "I've realized it's important not to focus on what other people think of you or what you're doing. Some times it's easier saidd than done," she wrote in another post.

In order to maintains her phenomenal physique, Anna-May exercises. "What's motivation without a new gym set," she joked about a new workout outfit. 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.

Anna-May also enjoys taking baths and soaking in hot tubs. How can baths do your body and mind good? They have been linked to better sleep and even found helpful to minimize anxiety and depression. One recent study even found that they may even boast cardiovascular benefits.

Bella Hadid is celebrating her friend's birthday

Bella Hadid is celebrating her friend's birthday in her bathing suit. The supermodel shared well wishes to pal Yasmine Diba in one of her latest social media posts, which included photos of the girls in their swimsuits. "2011 til forever. couldn't do this life with out you. happy birthday sister," she captioned the Instagram post.

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.

Bella believes that finding healthy outlets – like riding horses – is great for your body and mind. "My earliest memory of happiness, like I remember just my heart always being with my horses and that was always like my, my first memory ever was just me getting on a horse for the first time," she told ID during a recent interview.

"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," Bella confessed toHarper's Bazaar. Her diet is mostly healthy but she does allow herself to indulge. "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," she added to ID. "There's no bad pizza. Also seaweed snacks randomly. Oh, sour Patch Kids and Rose Champagne if i'm feeling frisky."

Bella loves hitting the mountains for a snowboarding session. 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.

Alexandra Panagiotarou shows off her incredible figure while vacationing in Romania

Alexandra Panagiotarou is starting the spring off hot in her swimsuit. The sexy greek sociologist shows off her incredible figure in a bathing suit via one of her latest social media posts, lounging in paradise while vacationing in Romania. "April 1st," she captioned the Instagram snap.

Alexandra loves riding horses. "Breath," she captioned a photo of herself on horseback. 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.

Alexandra maintains a healthy diet most of the time, but does allow herself cheat meals. "Can't get enough," she captioned a photo of herself eating a box of sweets. She also loves pizza, cake, ice cream, hamburgers, and french fries.

Alexandra also loves to swim. Swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity, according to the CDC. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, there are multiple studies supporting the mental health benefits of swimming as well.

Alexandra also plays tennis. "Overheated," she captioned a photo of herself on the 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.

Alexandra also boxes. Health benefits of fitness boxing are plentiful, "because it constantly requires you to think, change your position, and change your posture," physical therapist Linda Arslanian, director of rehabilitation services at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's hospital tells Harvard Health."You're swinging your arms, moving the muscles of your arms and shoulders, increasing your upper-body strength. And when you're in the boxer crouch with a wide stance, with your knees slightly bent, you're strengthening your core muscles, back, and legs."

Alexandra loves a morning jolt of caffeine. Here she is drinking a cup of coffee. Science continues to prove that drinking coffee is great for your health. In fact, a new 2022 study published in the 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.

Molly Sims isn't afraid to show off her gorgeous body

Girls just want to have fun — and wear cute bikinis! Just ask Molly Sims.

On Saturday, the 49-year-old actress, model and mom of three shared an Instagram carousel giving her followers a peek into her glamorous vacation to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and the stylist swimwear wardrobe she packed.

The photo dump tarted with a solo shot of Sims in her hotel room sporting an itty-bitty black bikini, accessorized with layers of necklaces, rings, bracelets and earrings. The second photo showed a glimpse at their resort, with teal towels and individualized tote bags for her and all her besties. Photo number three showed a selfie of her and one of her friends, Michelle Carlson, and photo four showed her and another friend, Robyn Casady, posing by the pool.

Sims finished off the carousel with another photo in her black bikini, this time outside, more poolside pics with her friends, a pic of her in her Zimmerman pool cover-up and a photo of a cocktail with one of her friend's faces printed out and placed on a paper straw.

The star captioned the photo: "Girls trip: activated ???Celebrating our bestie @michellecarlson02 turning 40 forever!! ?? Austin meets Los Angeles and a bit of NYC. Vamos!??"

The star then followed up that post with another carousel showing more snaps of their trip — and of courser more bikini photos.

The multi-photo post started with a picture of Sims posing next to one of her old friends. Sims is in a teeny-tiny pink plaid bikini while her bestie, Carlson, is in a plunging red-hot one-piece.

Sims also included a few group shots in the carousel as well as a series of selfies in various tropical locations showing off her pink bikini.

"Vanderbilt Freshman '91 and still going! ?????," she captioned the post.

So what's Sims' secret to looking and feeling her best? The mom to 7-year-old daughter Scarlett May and sons Grey Douglas, 5, and Brooks Alan, 10 talks a lot about wellness trends, style, beauty and fitness on her weekly podcast Lipstick on the Rim alongside her best friend Emese Gormley.

Sasha Attwood is enjoying a sunny vacation in Dubai

Sasha Attwood is enjoying a sunny vacation in Dubai, UAE. The girlfriend of Manchester City and England player Jack Grealish shared pictures of herself at a beautiful resort, relaxing in a black bathing suit top and gray shorts. "Gorgeous," one admiring fan commented.

Attwood admits she went through a phase of not taking the best care of herself. "Things that are going wrong for me currently….when I work, I can get up at 5am fine…it's more when I have a day off," she says. "I just can't get up. I'm not a morning person. I'm much more productive in the evening.

Also, I've not been working out at all. I've just been indulging. I've been eating too much, drinking too much and I'm just like I want to have a bit of a lifestyle change… I want to feel fit and healthy. I want to feel good. After a week, I feel so much better. I want to be the best version of me. Self-care is so important."

Attwood relies on coffee to give her energy throughout the morning. "Coffee may help some people maintain alertness and energy levels thanks to its caffeine content," says registered nutritionist Nicola Shubrook. "When coffee is consumed, it is absorbed into the bloodstream and travels to the brain where it 'fires up' certain neurons which may improve memory, mood, energy and cognitive function, if consumed in moderation. Other reports suggest drinking coffee before exercise may reduce rates of exertion and potentially improve athletic performance."

Attwood starts the day with Pilates as part of her new healthy lifestyle. "As human beings, we are creatures of habit," says lead yoga therapist Judi Bar. "We walk a certain way, we take the stairs a certain way, we stand a certain way and we sit at our desk a certain way. So, our muscles get imbalanced because of overuse. What Pilates does is help to counteract that."

Attwood loves hiking, especially when she's traveling. "Think of hiking as simply taking a longer walk in nature; you can hike at any pace, at any elevation, and for any number of miles, hours, or even days," says Alyson Chun, assistant director of adventure sports at Stanford University and instructor for REI. "The more challenging the hike, the more calories — and stress — you'll melt away."

Attwood loves walking her dog, which is an easy and fun way to stay active. "Walking can be as good as a workout, if not better, than running," says Dr. Matt Tanneberg, CSCS. "You hear of people 'plateauing' when they continue to do the same workout routine and stop seeing results. I see patients all the time that plateau from running, they will run the same distance, speed and time, day in and day out. You need to constantly be switching up your exercise routine in order to get the maximum benefit for your health."

Mexican actress Martha Higareda is spreading some inspiration

Mexican actress Martha Higareda is spreading some inspiration via her Instagram page. The Altered Carbon star posted a reel of herself wearing a bright bathing suit, sharing a video clip of actor Anthony Hopkins speaking about ego and the importance of humility. "What do you think?" she captioned the post.

Higareda changes her entire diet around after deciding to become vegan. "I definitely like eating sushi. I think [that] in the whole country, [Los Angeles] is the best place to eat sushi," she says. "Really, I eat very little sushi because I'm vegan. I think it's the only way that we can help the planet."

Higareda loves boxing, which is a great full-body workout. "You're swinging your arms, moving the muscles of your arms and shoulders, increasing your upper-body strength," says physical therapist Linda Arslanian, director of rehabilitation services at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's hospital. "And when you're in the boxer crouch with a wide stance, with your knees slightly bent, you're strengthening your core muscles, back, and legs."

Higareda understands the importance of mental as well as physical health. "Change the 'I have to' for the 'I feel blessed by', for example: 'I have to exercise' for 'I feel blessed because I can exercise', 'I have to drop my kids off to school', for 'I am blessed because I can take my kids to school'," she says. "If you change the 'I have' by the 'I feel blessed' you regain your power in life, you stop being a victim and become the person who decides your destiny."

Higareda says regular exercise made a significant impact on her happiness and self-esteem. "I want to spend more time with my loved ones, it's the reason why I exercise, because I want to live life," she says. "And to my surprise the changes in my body began to show, but above all the changes in my self-esteem. When I saw that 25 minutes a day is an act of self-love, for that reason the woman I will be in the future will thank me."

Higareda stresses the importance of hard work and motivation. "I know maybe somewhere there's someone who dreams [of becoming] an actress, musician or whatever," she says. "I really do believe that if you put your heart into it and visualize it as if it was happening today, you can do it. Even if your family or friends say you're not going to make it, if you really believe that you're going to make it or do it somehow, I think it can happen."

Amyra Dastur loves to spend time in the water. She recently enjoyed a pool day while in Phuket. Dastur shared a new underwater photo from the day on Instagram. In it, she floated on her back in a bathing suit. Dastur captioned the post, "My happy place."

Dastur talked about her diet to Miss Malini. She says that she has substituted different foods for healthier options. "I tried the whole diet regime but couldn't keep it up because of my radical shooting schedules and travelling," Dastur says. "I just don't eat bread unless it's Gluten Free, NO Rice at all (switched from rice to quinoa) and absolutely no dairy in my diet. I drink coffee with soy or almond milk or milk powder. No cheese unless it's cashew cheese and I've switched from sugar to honey."

Dastur also revealed her go-to meals to Miss Malini. She says that in each of her meals she includes protein and vegetables. "My breakfast is a three egg-white omelette with tomato, coriander, garlic & carrots with a slice of gluten free bread. Lunch and dinner are usually the same – 3 veggie dishes made in ghee (very little) + Dal + grilled chicken or fish."

When Dastur grabs a snack, she likes to go with fruit. She shared some of her favorites to Miss Malini. "During the day, I snack on fruits which have a high water content," she says. "Like watermelon, grapes, oranges and some dry fruits when I'm in the mood for something crunchy."

Dastur isn't afraid of indulging. She tells Miss Malini that she believes in balance. "My cheat day is usually Sunday," she says. "I go crazy with pizza for breakfast, KFC for lunch & risotto or Pasta for dinner. I am a procrastinator by nature and can't stick to a gym routine but here's a treat for all of you who can!"

As you can see in her recent Instagram post, Dastur loves to swim. She shares a lot of photos on Instagram of herself in the water. Dastur posted underwater photos of herself snorkeling in the Maldives. She captioned the post, "DND, it's mermaid time." She also shared a photo from the same trip, captioning it, "Ariel who?"

Joie Chavis is enjoying a very zen vacation in beautiful Jamaica

Joie Chavis, founder of Joie In Life, is enjoying a very zen vacation in beautiful Jamaica. Chavis shared pictures of herself looking relaxed and happy in a black and white bathing suit, immersing herself in low-key island life.

Chavis incorporates circuit training into her workout routine. "Circuit training may be a bit more time-efficient for exercisers who want to get a full-body workout in a relatively short period of time—say, 30 to 40 minutes", says exercise physiologist Jason Machowsky, CSCS. "Also, some people may enjoy the faster-paced nature of circuits".

Chavis sticks to fresh fruit such as watermelon for a healthy snack. "Thanks to its high-water content watermelon has a low-calorie density, this means a large slice of watermelon has a relatively small calorie contribution," says registered nutritionist Nicola Shubrook. "Eating foods, like this, which are both filling but low in calories appears to help promote fullness and reduce appetite. The pink-red flesh of the watermelon tells us its rich in compounds called carotenoids, including beta-carotene, which we convert to vitamin A. Often called pro-vitamin A, beta-carotene, helps keep our eyes and skin healthy."

Chavis lifts weights, which not only gives an extremely toned physique, but is crucial for muscle and bone health. Chavis shared a video of herself working out, with the caption "Staying consistent is key." Her fans were clearly impressed, with one saying, "This is the body I want."

Chavis has a solid background as a professional dancer. "Dance is an engaging and fun way of exercising, learning and meeting people," say Tamara Borovica, PhD, and Renata Kokanovic, PhD. "A review of the evidence shows taking part in dance classes or dancing socially improves your health and wellbeing regardless of your age, gender or fitness."

Chavis never misses an opportunity to enjoy fresh coconut water. "Coconut water is a natural source of minerals, including potassium, magnesium, calcium and sodium," says registered nutritionist Jo Lewin. "Many of us don't get enough of these important electrolyte minerals, which play a key role throughout the body, including for heart health and skeletal and muscle function. In fact, some claim coconut water is on par with the electrolyte balance found in many isotonic drinks."

Cheyenne Floyd enjoying a beautiful beach

Teen Mom star Cheyenne Floyd is soaking up the sun in Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands. Floyd shared a picture of herself posing on a beautiful beach in a black bikini, with stunning turquoise waters in the background. "DND ☀️," she captioned the post.

Floyd makes sure her skin is healthy and glowing by using scrubs and moisturizers. "If you have dry skin, exfoliating can help you absorb your moisturizer better," says dermatologist Melanie L. Adams, MD. "Many people invest in the most nourishing moisturizer they can afford, but if your skin can't absorb it because of clogged pores, you're losing out on the full benefits of the product. Additionally, regular exfoliation helps your skin absorb sunscreen so you're better protected from sun exposure."

Floyd loves delicious sushi dishes, which can be a healthy choice depending on ingredients. "Eating sushi can be a great way to load up on healthy fats (like omega-3 fatty acids), high quality protein, selenium, and many other key nutrients," says Lauren Manaker, MS, RDN, LD. "Plus, certain varieties of sushi are made with nori, a seaweed that is a natural source of iodine."

Floyd enjoys tennis with the entire family. "In addition to its physical benefits, tennis has many other advantages," says Daniel Amen, MD. "Though tennis can be a physically demanding sport, it's considered a non-impact sport. Tennis can be a great way to meet new people or spend more time with friends or family. It can be an enjoyable hobby that helps relieve stress. It's also a versatile sport suitable for all ages and skill levels."

Floyd loves fresh watermelon for a healthy and hydrating snack." Did you know watermelon has more lycopene than any other fresh fruit or vegetable?" says Kristi Wempen, RDN. "Lycopene is an antioxidant linked to decreased risk of cancer, heart disease and age-related eye disorders."

Floyd enjoys holidays in exotic, sunny locales—but she never forgets to put on sun cream. "If you have acne or oily skin, make sure that your sunscreen is labeled as 'non-comedogenic,' which means that it has been shown not to block pores," says Joshua Zeichner, MD, director of cosmetic and clinical research, dermatology department, Mount Sinai Hospital. "If you have dry skin, look for moisturizers with sunscreen or sunscreens that contain hydrating ingredients."

Alessandra Ambrosio recently enjoyed a beach day

Alessandra Ambrosio is perhaps best-known for her work as a Victoria's Secret Angel. She's also modeled for brands like Dior, Armani, and Ralph Lauren. Ambrosio recently enjoyed a beach day. She shared a gorgeous new selfie from the day on her Instagram story. In it, she posed in a swimsuit. She captioned the photo with a "Beach Time" sticker.

Ambrosio opened up about her wellness routine in a 2017 interview with Bravo. She says that she eats healthy, and breaks down her typical meals. "For breakfast, I usually have eggs and/or avocado toast. After my workout, I usually grab a green juice, followed by lunch, where I usually have a salad along with some chicken or fish. For dinner, I might go for sushi, or grill at home — some Brazilian BBQ. I also have some nuts or a protein bar in my bag all the time in case I get hungry while I am running around."

When Ambrosio eats healthy, she makes sure to really do so when she has a show or a job coming up. She shared her process of getting ready for the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show to Bravo. "I love cupcakes and French fries. Months leading up to the show, I usually don't only eat both of these foods — only once or twice a week." Ambrosio also says that she makes other changes to her diet leading up to the show as well, and indulges afterwards. "I just make sure to eat healthier versions of the food and smaller portions… Usually after the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, all of us girls get together and eat pizza. Our pizza parties have become a tradition."

When Ambrosio works out, she isn't always alone. She tells MLHamptons.com that she works out with some of her friends. "There are a bunch of women supporting each other and I think that's very important," she says. "It makes it fun. Sometimes, you're just, like, 'I really don't feel like going,' and then you have all your friends texting, 'Get your ass over here!' They don't accept 'no' for an answer. We are always pushing each other."

Ambrosio recently began working with a personal trainer. She tells MLHamptons that she decided to start this because of lockdowns. "I also have a trainer because last year we couldn't go to the gym," Ambrosio explains. "So I found a private trainer. … It's a lot of glutes and abs. I try to keep [my workouts to] three or four days a week."

Ambrosio tells MLHamptons that she makes sure to eat a balanced diet. "I just try to be conscious about what I eat, of course. There are a few days that I'm just like, 'I want to have dessert.' I try to be healthy. I'll try to have salad for lunch. I'm not going to have a lot of carbs for lunch and dinner—so I'll choose one. If I had carbs for lunch, then for dinner I'll have more veggies and protein. I try to keep it balanced."

Olivia Culpo is looking back on a wonderful vacation

Olivia Culpo is looking back on a wonderful vacation with sister Sophia Culpo. The model shared a series of pictures from the trip, including a few of herself posing in swimsuits. "Third wheelin and dealin @sophiaculpo ?," she captioned the post.

Culpo enjoys a balanced diet without too many restrictions. "I stick to the 80-20 rule," she says. "Eighty percent of the time I'm really good, and then 20 percent of the time, I allow myself to eat, not whatever, but indulge a little more, I guess you could say. That's worked really well for me in general, especially this past year, where obviously everyone's just trying to find comfort wherever they can. Eating salad 24/7 is not going to give you that kind of comfort."

Culpo enjoys fruit and coffee for breakfast, followed by avocado toast and egg whites. "Avocado toast is one of the healthier brunch options at many restaurants, but you do have to be careful," says Kylie Arrindell, wellness dietitian at Houston Methodist. "From how much avocado is used to what's piled on top, avocado toast can go from a healthy to a not-so-healthy choice pretty quickly. Avocado contains a lot of heart-healthy unsaturated fats, as well as a good amount of fiber. Plus, if you're eating at a restaurant, you have a lot of control of what goes on top of your avocado toast. You can say 'no cheese' or 'no bacon,' which you can't always do as easily in other unhealthier breakfast dishes."

Culpo does a cardio challenge where she does 20 minutes of cardio, and any speed. "I've been doing it with my followers encouraging them to join the challenge and just do whatever feels right for 20 minutes," she says. "You want to get your endorphins going—get some movement going. It's just something that it doesn't feel too overwhelming. We'll get you moving, and before you know it, it's over."

Culpo enjoys protein and vegetables with minimal starch for a typical lunch or dinner. "One of my favorite things to make is pan roasted chicken (seasoned with delicious Cajun seasoning, of course) with roasted vegetables like broccolini, brussels sprouts, and sweet potatoes," she says. "I'll also create a bed of steamed spinach as the base for everything. Pan-roasted recipes like this one are great because you can cook multiple servings and save for the week!"

Culpo eliminates alcohol completely when she's cracking down on her diet. "A big part of this diet that's very, very important and crucial and very annoying is that you cannot have any alcohol. No wine. None," she says. "It's basically sugar. It completely counteracts the entire metabolic system you're trying to create in your body."

Olivia Kaiser flaunts her strong and sexy body

Olivia Kaiser is feeling strong in her swimsuit. The Challenge and Love Island star flaunts her strong and sexy body in a bathing suit via one of her latest social media posts. "The most liberating and empowering day of my life was the day I freed myself from my own self-destructive nonsense," she captioned the Instagram snaps. "I literally have never felt stronger and more powerful. I can't wait for what these next few months have in-store. I welcome anything and everything that is meant for me."

Olivia loves kayaking. "All good things are wild and free," she captioned a photo of herself rowing in Alaska. Kayaking is a great workout. Not only is it great for building upper body strength and helps reduce stress, but can burn up to 400 calories per hour, translating to 1,600 calories in four hours of paddling.

Olivia, who was born in Alaska, spends a lot of time hiking. "I'm on top of the world. There's truly no place like home. It's moments like these that make life so worth living❤️ family, friends and nature ? Nothing like hiking in 45 degrees with 10 degree windchill ," she captioned a photo of herself on a nature hike. "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.

Olivia prioritizes her mental health. "Taking a break now and then from social media is one the healthiest choices I can make for myself. I was finding that instead of doing what I know makes me my happiest, I was aimlessly checking social media taking in not only gossip, but unrealistic and untrue expectations of life. Life is so amazing and these past couple weeks have been a much needed recharge for my soul," she wrote in an Instagram post.

Olivia also loves swimming in the ocean, pools, and lakes. Swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity, according to the CDC. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, there are multiple studies supporting the mental health benefits of swimming as well.

Olivia loves taking walks in nature. 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.
