Paulina Gretzky takes care of her body

Paulina Gretzky is leaning into fall in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the influencer daughter of NHL star Wayne Gretzky looks gorgeous in a nude swimsuit, posing with golfer husband, Dustin Johnson. "Sweet September," she captioned the Instagram snap. "Wow amazing, totally different look," commented one of her followers. "Being sweet," added another.

Paulina may be "blessed with incredible genes" but still has to exert discipline when it comes to her diet. In fact, she believes that what you eat is ultimately more important than how you exercise. "But it's really 70-percent diet and 30-percent working out," she told Golf Digest.

Paulina maintains that exercise is "about fitting in some exercise wherever you are," she says. "I used to run every day, and I absolutely loved it. It was like meditation for me. I also loved kickboxing. What really kept me in great shape was dancing. Lately, I've been constantly on the go, so I don't get to run much anymore. Now I'm doing workout videos every day. If you don't want to go to the gym and would rather work out alone, all you have to do is find a workout on YouTube," she told Golf Digest.

Paulina maintains that diet is "as simple as Everything in Moderation." She allows herself to cheat on occasion. "I'll eat pizza and cheeseburgers, but I won't do it every day," she told Golf Digest.

Paulina plays a lot of tennis. "Same time next week," she captioned a series of photos on the court. ACE Fitness says that tennis 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.

Married to golfer, Dustin Johnson, it's no surprise that the sport helps keep her in shape. A comprehensive review published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that golf's health benefits are extensive, including mind, body, and even lifespan. Benefits include improved longevity, decreased risk of developing heart disease or suffering a stroke, good mental health, and improved strength and balance.

Solheim cup golf star Charley Hull looking good

Charley Hull is taking a break from golf. In one of her latest social media posts, the professional athlete flaunts her fit figure in a pink bathing suit while poolside, sending her followers into a frenzy. "Perfection," commented one. "Omg what a body wow," a second chimed in. "Smoking," added a third with a bunch of fire emojis.

Charley gave BBC's Good Food a rundown of her diet. For breakfast she keeps it simple with cereal and fruit. For lunch, she will eat "something healthy like salad," she said. Dinner is usually a "healthy balanced meal like chicken and vegetables. I can't cook but fortunately I live at home so mum does all the cooking," she said.

Charley doesn't "worry too much about" her diet. "Maybe I'll have to when I'm older but at the moment I don't have to be too disciplined as long as I'm eating a fairly balanced diet with plenty of fruits and vegetables," she said.

Charley snacks on peanut butter and jam sandwiches. "I keep them in my golf bag to munch on during the day. I also eat lots of fruit too like apples and bananas," she said. She also muches on "lots of fruit throughout the day."

Hydration is also important, says Charley. "I drink a lot of water throughout the day and top up with hydration tablets. Particularly if it's hot," she said.

What is Charley's go-to cheat meal? "Pizza! Though I actually eat that during the season too. I don't really have to watch my weight but maybe that's my age and it will all catch up with me at some point!" she said.

Aside from gold, Charley works out. "If it's a non-tournament week I'll focus on working in the gym," she told Huffington Post.

Another way Charley mixes fitness with pleasure? "I also like going for long walks with my dog. I'll usually do that before I go out so I feel less guilty," she told Huffington Post.

Aimee Garcia is enjoying the end of the summer season

Aimee Garcia is enjoying the end of the summer season in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the Lucifer and Dexter star shows off her amazing body in a bathing suit while on the beach. "Last days of summer," she captioned the Instagram snap.

Glamour asked Aimee to walk them through her skin care routine. However, she maintains a key ingredient in her beauty routine is actually food. "Well, I swear by avocado. It's excellent for your hair and skin, so I eat one daily," she said.

"I work out every day or at least I try to. I believe that exercise preserves youth more than anything else," Aimee told Glamour. "Sometimes if I'm at home watching TV I do weight-lifting moves with cans during commercials. It really is that easy! Trust me, if you do that and throw in squats and a couple of push-ups during commercial breaks you will see a change in your body."

Garcia also likes to dance to stay in shape, which you can find her doing in various dance videos on social media. 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.

Aimee also maintains that she drinks "tons of water," she told Filler. 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.

Another beauty secret of Aimee's? "Sleep!" she told Filler. "Your skin rejuvenates when you sleep so it's the best pick-me-up activity …. Especially when you have to be at work at 4 A.M." According to the Sleep Foundation, getting enough z's is a mood booster, promotes heart health, regulates blood sugar, improves mental function, restores your immune system, helps relieve stress, and aids in weight loss.

Hannah Brown flaunts her insanely fit figure

Hannah Brown is red hot in Mexico – in her swimsuit. In a recent post The Bachelorette star flaunts her insanely fit figure in a red bathing suit while holding onto a drink and her fiancé. "Woke up 29 in Mexico with my fiancé?❤️ Grateful for this life and all the birthday wishes!" she captioned the Instagram snap.

Brown has a healthy morning routine. "My bed is just so cozy," she tells Us. While she's a "slow riser," she will (eventually) get up to "drink some water" and "read a little." She also journals in the morning.

Hannah exercises. "Lately, I've been doing weight training three times a week with 20 to 30-minute Peloton rides for my cardio," she told Us. "It's great for me to get a little sweat in every day!"

Hannah also walks her dogs. "Adam and I take Wally on walks around the neighborhood," she told Us. While walking she will "listen to my favorite podcasts, or have a phone call with a friend!"

Brown wraps up her day by "reading a few chapters of a good book" before hopping into bed. 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.

Hannah loves cooking healthy meals. "I've really started to enjoy a home-cooked meal. The Instant Pot makes it easy to make a yummy meal quick!" she told Us.

"I try to eat around 11 after my workout, which could still be considered breakfast. Sometimes I'll have a banana, but my favorite is the breakfast tacos my boyfriend makes at home. It has to be with the Siete almond tortillas. They're so good with a little ghee butter on top, and then some scrambled eggs with either bacon or sausage. This is of course with some Cholula hot sauce on top," she told Bustle.

Hannah's "overall approach" to wellness "is to be present with my body and my mind — exploring what works and what doesn't as I continue to build strength and confidence."

WNBA Star Te'a Cooper looking good as always

WNBA star and free agent Te'a Cooper has clearly learned to love swimsuit photoshoots since appearing in Sports Illustrated. Cooper, 26, enjoyed some downtime by hitting the pool, and shared the photos on her Instagram. The athlete can be seen posing in the water in a vibrant red bikini, completing the look with a beautiful blue necklace and dark sunglasses, her hair pulled into a ponytail. "Te'a SWIM WEEK ?? @target," she captioned the post. "My girly," commented fellow player Angel Reese.

Cooper cooks her own meals as much as possible. "I recently just tried going vegan for a few months and it was great," she says. "I felt great. My body felt great. I had a lot of energy. It's just refreshing. This past year, I just started cooking regularly. I cook breakfast, lunch and dinner every day, so I'm just now getting into that. I guess you can really tell the difference more if you aren't an athlete, but I really did feel the effect of eating vegan foods in the off-season. Energy-wise, during the day, when I'm not doing anything and I'm not sleepy without practicing stuff, I think that's when I felt the difference more. It's a huge difference, honestly."

Cooper is a Sports Illustrated model, and while she was surprised to be asked to take part, she was thrilled in the end. Being with her fellow athletes at the shoot in St. Thomas helped make her feel more comfortable. "When I got the call, I initially [thought], 'Did they call the right person?'" she joked."It kind of felt like I was getting ready for a game. It was really comfortable. I was super excited to just be with them and see them be out of their element, too. They are so empowering. They just really make you comfortable in your own skin."

Cooper believes in embracing the journey, both ups and downs. "Everything's not always gonna be up — it's a roller coaster," she says. "Sports teaches you the beauty of the ups and downs… I think for mental health purposes, enjoy that roller coaster. So, you know, things happen, but it always has a way of working out. So no matter where I am in life, I just feel like it's gonna work out. Unfortunate things happen, but it's like I've been there before, been down before, so I'm gonna be up soon, and I just kind of stay humble and stay in the middle and just stay steady, honestly."

Cooper loves how the WNBA players are becoming known for their fashion as well as their skills. "I took the game day 'fits very seriously," she says. "I would say embracing your own style and confidently walking in your own style [is important]. How you see yourself and what you put out there — the evolution of you and just seeing your style grow — I think is the most interesting aspect of it. I love fashion and I definitely want to be on a runway someday!

For Cooper, self-care is about a healthy lifestyle. "I think really, a lot of things are mental," she says. "People think eating healthy is like you're on a diet or you're trying to lose weight when really it can be a lifestyle. Like you just wanna be cleaner, you just wanna be healthier mentally, physically, emotionally, and some of that has to do with your food. I think just focusing on yourself and making sure you feel good is the best advice I can give. Everybody's story is different and everybody's emotions are different, so my advice won't help somebody who's not me—but just taking care of yourself could help everybody."

Tyne Lexi-Clarson flaunts her amazing body

Tyne Lexi-Clarson is heating up social media in her swimsuit. In a recent post the Love Island hottie flaunts her amazing body in a bathing suit, sending her followers into a frenzy. "Wow absolutely amazing," one commented. "Perfection," added another.

Tyne-Lexy enjoys swimming. 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.

In a video, Tyne-Lexy revealed that she "hit rock bottom" after appearing on Love Island when her weight "ballooned." Instead of taking drastic measures, Clarson opted to lose weight the healthy way. "I didn't want to do anything unhealthy and I wanted to ensure that my weight loss came about through exercise and diet improvements," she said.

Clarson stays accountable by tracking her progress. "It was great looking at the pictures each week and seeing my body firming up. After every session, I feel a little bit fitter, my body was a little more taut and I always felt that I was moving in the right direction…" she said. "If you really knuckle down, it is perfectly possible to make quite big changes to your physique in six weeks. Taking the pictures was a great motivator because I was determined that I would look a little fitter in each one."

Meal replacement drinks are a "great way to boost the progress I was already making through diet and exercise," Clarson said. "They give you that extra push and I wouldn't have hit my target in six weeks without them."

Clarson maintains that her six week transformation turned into a lifestyle. "'I have got all my body confidence back," she said. "This isn't a short-term fix – I have got more energy, I feel more comfortable in my body and I going to carry on with all the good habits I have picked up in the last six weeks."

Cheerleader MaKayla Diggs loves hanging out in bikinis

Los Angeles Lakers cheerleader MaKayla Diggs is finally getting around to posting a bunch of pictures highlighting her amazing summer. Diggs looks to have had a wonderful time with her friends and loved ones, and spent plenty of time by the pool in a variety of bathing suits, including one blue metallic bikini. "Summer dump," she captioned the post. "One for the books??," a friend commented.

Diggs enjoys swimming and scuba diving, sharing videos of her adventures online. "While underwater, we also have the privilege of being in a sound vacuum," says scuba instructor Imogen Gray. "This, combined with the deep breathing, the peaceful setting and the mindfulness which comes with diving can create a safe space to escape your worries and let them go. Let them drift away on the current. Your worries can't find you when you're underwater."

Diggs sips on fresh pineapple juice for a delicious and nutritious pick me up—which is a particularly good choice for athletes and dancers. "Pineapple is the only food known to contain bromelain, an enzyme that helps your skin and tissues heal," says Julia Zumpano, RD, LD. "Bromelain appears to produce substances that combat in pain and swelling."

Diggs supplements her diet with meal replacement shakes, which can be a convenient option for those too busy to stop and eat a proper meal. "Meal replacement shakes are designed to help an individual to lower their calorie intake and take the pressure off food and meal prep," dietitian Nichola Ludlam-Raine tells LiveScience. "They're designed for people who don't want to think about what they're eating and just want to 'grab and go'."

Diggs hydrates with fresh coconut water when she's on vacation. "The electrolytes found in coconuts have great benefits – not only to maintain fluid levels inside cells, but for delivering water to where it is needed most," says sports nutritionist Jess Hillard. "This helps keep us hydrated, which subsequently improves skin health, regulates body temperature and supports joint health."

Diggs jokes that all her social media pictures are of her vacations, which studies show are good for your health. "What we found is that people who vacation more frequently in the past 12 months have a lowered risk for metabolic syndrome and metabolic symptoms," says Bryce Hruska, PhD, assistant professor of public health in the David B. Falk College of Sport and Human Dynamics. "Metabolic syndrome is a collection of risk factors for cardiovascular disease. If you have more of them, you are at higher risk of cardiovascular disease. This is important because we are actually seeing a reduction in the risk for cardiovascular disease the more vacationing a person does. Because metabolic symptoms are modifiable, it means they can change or be eliminated."

Pole Vaulter Riley White is looking good

Riley White is starting off the week in her swimsuit. In a recent social media post the gorgeous pole vaulter flaunts her fit figure in a bathing suit, driving her followers wild. "Happy Monday, she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. "Bod!!!" commented one. "So perfect," added another.

Riley has become an avid golfer, regularly sharing photos from the course. "Off day = golf day," she captioned a recent one. A comprehensive review published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that golf's health benefits are extensive, including mind, body, and even lifespan. Benefits include improved longevity, decreased risk of developing heart disease or suffering a stroke, good mental health, and improved strength and balance.

Riley is a fan of the perks of caffeine. "Two of my fav things: coffee and brunch," she captioned a recent post. 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.

Riley doesn't mess around when it comes to the gym. She likes to divide her workouts out by muscle, focusing on her back one day and legs another. She is also a living testament that lifting heavy weights does not result in bulking you up.

Riley understands that recovery is key. She loves soaking in the hot tub. "Don't mind rainy days when I can spend em here," she captioned a post. Soaking in a hot tub boasts the same benefits as a bath, which have been linked to better sleep and even found helpful to minimize anxiety and depression. One recent study even found that they may even boast cardiovascular benefits.

In her recent post Riley shows off her moves – her yoga moves that is. 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."

Jessika Power has an amazing body

Jessika Power is dividing the internet with her latest swimsuit video. In a recent TikTok the Married at First Sight star flaunts her amazing body while lip synching in a tiny bathing suit. "WHAT ARE THOSEEEEEEE," she captioned the post shared to her Instagram account. "Hottt," commented one of her followers. However, several others criticized her for sharing the racy video.

"I don't have a grueling diet or exercise regime," Jessika told Daily Mail Australia. However, she cut "a lot of sugar, alcohol" and smoking out of her diet. She also never skips breakfast and eats healthy dinners and instead of snacking on junk food eats homemade kale chips, made with salt and olive oil.

Jessika prioritizes produce. She eats and drinks her veggies. "I make lots of fresh juices and just try to keep it clean and lean," she told Daily Mail. "An apple a day….." she captioned a recent snap holding a piece of fruit.

Jessika also exercises. She prefers outdoor exercise – like walks and hikes – over the gym. 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.

Jessika indulges in the "occasional binge," she told Daily Mail. "I'm addicted to KFC wicked wings and have a sweet tooth, but I listen to my body and what it wants."

Jessika isn't "perfect" but has learned to accept her body for how it looks. "Every woman has cellulite and little lumps and bumps, I've just learnt to embrace and love mine," she told The Daily Mail. After filming MAFS, she had an expensive procedure done, an autologous fat transfer done, removing fat from her "problem areas" and redepositing them into her breasts, transforming them from a B-cup to a D-cup. "I put some weight on during MAFS and after eating healthy and exercising, I had a bit of weight loss. Also with my break-up with Dan there was a lot of stress there as well," she told New Idea. "I chose the fat from the underside of my thighs. I had this little pocket of fat, I don't know what it is, no matter how much dieting I do, no matter how much exercise I do, I just couldn't get rid of it."

Cheerleader Michelle Leonardo shares swimsuit photo on honeymoon

New York Knicks Cheerleader Michelle Leonardo got married over the summer and had the most incredible honeymoon in Europe. Leonardo shared pictures of the trip, including snaps of herself posing in a bright pink bikini on a boat with husband Alexander Tan. "Sicily, you were a dream. Next stop, St. Tropez. #honeymooners," she captioned the post. "Barbie & Ken- the pre release," teased a friend in the comments.

Leonardo says the training regimen for the Knicks City Dancers is not for the faint of heart. "Throughout the last 5 years I was often asked the question 'how do you do it all?' While holding down a full time career in media, I somehow fit in multiple 6-10 pm rehearsals and 2-11 pm game days each week, promos and appearances, and everything in between," she says. "I usually answered this question by laughing and saying 'I don't sleep'. While that was half true, the whole truth is I did it all because it was my purpose. The sweat, sore muscles, exhaustion, I loved it, because I loved this team and the purpose it gave me. This team turned a 25 year old girl into a woman who knows exactly who she is, who can confidently go in any direction and who can always hold her own."

Leonardo makes time for yoga, even when her schedule is crazy. "Time management is really important, and taking care of yourself is really important," she says. "We have really long, hard practices. I'm usually doing physical activity at least four to eight hours a couple days a week, so eating right and getting enough sleep is crucial. With work, I'm the type that likes to bullet-point everything. So I have my to-do list, and I'm just constantly checking things off."

Leonardo's days are filled with team practice as well as her non-cheer responsibilities. "Every day is different and I love it," she says. "My day is typically dictated by what my night looks like. I'm usually in the office around 9am – 5:30pm then rush uptown to be at rehearsal from 6pm – 10pm. If I have a game, we're on the court anywhere from 1pm – 3pm for rehearsal/sound check. So I'm on the go from 9am – 10pm."

Leonardo's background in pageant competitions made her a shoo-in for cheerleading. "I'm actually a former pageant girl, so beauty and makeup and hair is sort of embedded in my DNA," she says. "My go-to lipstick is MAC in Angel, and I love MAC blushes, too. I'm really big on the blush color Harmony right now."

Leonardo loves how unique the Knicks City Dancers are compared to other NBA cheer teams. "I always knew who the Knicks City Dancers were, but who they were back when I first learned about them compared to when I rediscovered them was very different," she says. "The team rebranded; we're very Broadway, and we have beautiful costumes, so we're not a typical NBA team. When I saw the costumes and the production and the lighting, it was just something I knew I wanted to be involved with. I decided to audition about six months out, and I prepared every day. I knew if I was gonna do it, I had to give it my all."

Clarissa Molina shows off her amazing body

Clarissa Molina is expressing her gratitude on her birthday – in her swimsuit. In one of her latest social media posts the Univision star shows off her amazing body in a bathing suit, while sharing a message with her fans."Thank you papa God for another year!. A new year, new things, new life, happiness!. Thank you God! Thank you all for your love and well wishes!" she captioned the Instagram post.

While preparing for Miss Universe, the Dominican celebrity exerted discipline to drop weight fast. "This super strict diet that I followed for almost two months helped me lose weight, 40 pounds. In Miss Universe I reached 115 pounds. Imagine yourself. A big difference," she explained in a video shared to Facebook. "Obviously this diet takes a lot of sacrifices, but the reward is good and the result is what you want at the end of the day, which is to lose weight and look spectacular." She added: "Obviously it was not easy. For me, the part of all the pressure that I had for Miss Universe was very difficult. It was in two months, I did not have a year to prepare. So that's why I had to make it very strict," she confessed. "I recommend that you do it exactly as I told you now and that you really want it. If possible. At the end of the day the important thing is how you feel."

Clarissa's diet started with breakfast, two egg whites, a small cup of 6 to 7 pieces of pineapple, and tea or coffee without sugar. She would also have green tea. For a snack, between breakfast and lunch, she would eat a green apple or six almonds, followed by a lunch of lettuce and tomato salad with a can of tuna with lots of lemon. "I tell you a can of tuna because it has more protein. In my case, when I made it I only ate half a can of tuna. But I recommend that you eat it completely," she said. For dinner, she would eat the remainder of the tuna with a salad of cucumber, tomato and lettuce".

Two months prior to the competition Molina went to extreme fitness measures and started working out three times a day. How often should you exercise? 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.

Clarissa also enjoys riding bikes in her free time. The Cleveland Clinic explains that cycling is a low-impact aerobic exercise, great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.

Clarissa is a fan of dancing, 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.

Miss America Betty Cantrell is enjoying the sunset, sea and sand, at the beach

Miss America 2016 Betty Cantrell is enjoying the sunset, sea, sand, and swimwear at the beach. Cantrell, 29, shared pictures of herself posing in a zebra-print bikini and holding a bright tote bag, earning her a chorus of admiration from fans. "Someone recently commented on one of my videos saying "you really are a Betty, tho"…and idk why, but I love that compliment ?," she captioned the post. "You could be a swimsuit model. Bikinis look so good on you! You're beautiful. Everything looks good on you," a fan commented.

Cantrell learned healthy habits from her family. "I grew up in a household where being healthy was everything," she says. "My dad is a nutritionist and both of my parents are physical therapists. We didn't have Pop-Tarts for breakfast, we had hard-boiled eggs … but I realized that not all children are fortunate enough to have parents who are able [to afford] to give them healthy foods."

Cantrell struggled to maintain a healthy diet while traveling for competitions. "I was traveling all the time and I couldn't always eat the healthiest option," she says. "[But] it's all about eating things in moderation. You can have some unhealthy things, but make sure you don't do it all the time. I was careful about what I ate, and I tried to eat every three hours to keep my metabolism flowing.

Cantrell works out with a trainer four times a week but loves being active as a lifestyle. "I need someone to push me a little bit more than I push myself," she says. "I did not grow up doing pageants. I grew up on a farm, driving tractors and rolling around in the mud with the dogs. I loved living out in the country, and being in pageants was the furthest thing from my mind. [But] when I got involved… I fell in love in with it."

Cantrell believes the Miss America pageant is all about celebrating health. "I think Miss America has always promoted a healthy body," she says. "That is what the lifestyle and fitness competition, more so than a swimsuit round, is there for: to promote healthy eating, being healthy in your own skin and feeling confident. And I feel like anybody should feel comfortable competing in the Miss America organization; I want anybody to feel comfortable competing in their own skin to be in a swimsuit, but especially with my platform of healthy eating and exercise, I think it's crucial Miss America always promotes healthy bodies. And as long as you're healthy, it doesn't matter what size you are."

Cantrell refuses to focus on clothing size, instead focusing on how she feels. "You don't need to be a size 0. You can be a size 12 and be perfectly healthy for your body and your BMI," she says. "It doesn't matter what you look like. It's about what your body is telling you… Last year my parents told me and my siblings they were getting divorced. That completely changed me mentally, but also affected me physically because I stress ate. When I was sad, I ate [bad] foods. It made me realize that if you're not mentally healthy and emotionally happy, that can affect you physically. It can affect your performance at school, your performance in athletics."

Cheerleader Tiyah Ejan Shares photos from Greece

Los Angeles Lakers cheerleader Tiyah Ejan just had the most incredible trip to Greece and Croatia, and is still on cloud nine from the romantic vacation. Ejan put together a highlight reel of her getaway, and included video of herself posing in a speeding boat in a black one-piece swimsuit. "Editing reels is a skill, why must it take so long to make ?? Put together some videos – this trip was so much fun!" she captioned the post. "Can I come next time?" commented a fan.

Ejan loves to dance—but not just cheerleading! She also enjoys taking heels dance classes, and naturally, she's killing it. "Something about taking a heels class w/ women that fully embrace their femininity… Doesn't matter what level, style, or your dance background – it feels amazing to let loose & let go in this no judgment zone ?," she captioned an Instagram video.

Ejan stays strong and toned thanks to regular weight training sessions, which are particularly beneficial for dancers. While some might worry about building "bulk", experts say putting on too much muscle is almost impossible to do by accident. "Just think of the relationship between strength and your performance," says Brent Brookbush, a trainer, physical therapist and president of the Brookbush Institute. "Jumping, lifting, holding positions. Resistance training can help with all of that."

Ejan loves hiking, especially in cold weather locations. "It's a common misconception that being in the cold can give you a cold, but it's not true," say the experts at UofL Health. "In fact, exercise is one of the best ways to strengthen your immune system. Staying cooped up inside may actually expose you to more people who may be harboring this season's latest cold, so getting away from all those folks may actually reduce your chances of catching the same bug."

Ejan indulges her creative artistic side by taking painting classes and making pottery, which research shows is good for mental health. "Studies have shown that expressing themselves through art can help people with depression, anxiety, or cancer, too," say the experts at Harvard Health. And doing so has been linked to improved memory, reasoning, and resilience in healthy older people."

Ejan embraces the farm-to-table concept of enjoying locally sourced food whenever possible. "Produce from local farmers has spent more time on the vine, on the tree or in the ground, so you get better taste and more nutrients," says Melinda E. Cater, MS, RD, LDN. "When it comes to fresh fruit and vegetables, the shorter the time and distance from farm to sale, the higher the levels of vitamins and minerals."

Soccer Star Steph Catley shared pictures of herself spending time in the ocean

Australia soccer star Steph Catley is taking a well-earned break from her busy training schedule to enjoy the beautiful sun and sea in Santorini, Greece. Catley, 29, shared highlights from her vacation, including snaps of herself wearing a yellow bikini and she soaked up the sun on a luxury yacht. She also included pictures of herself swimming in the ocean. "A few days to recharge in ???," she captioned the post.

Catley enjoys a balanced diet with plenty of protein. "[Breakfast is] 1 piece of almond butter toast, 1 bowl of oats with shredded almonds, honey and mixed berries," she says. "[Lunch] varies but generally a salad with some sort of meat mixed in or on the side. My favorite combination right now is a chicken salad with spinach, walnuts and pear. [Snack is] a coffee with a small chia pudding bowl, or some fruit… I love different types of pastas, grilled vegetables and potatoes, or stir fries and dishes with brown rice."

Catley's game-day diet is designed to give her as much energy as possible. "It depends what time the game is. But no matter what I eat in the morning or lunch, around an hour and a half before I play I always eat two slices of multigrain toast with peanut butter and sliced banana on top," she says. Her favorite indulgence meal is "a huge burrito bowl from Chipotle with lime and salt chips on the side."

Catley leads by example when it comes to training and competing. "I always give 100 per cent at training and in everything that I do on and off the field," she says. "I'm not the leader that's going to be screaming and shouting at everyone in the change rooms [when something goes wrong]. On the field, I want people to look at me, and think, 'Well, if she's giving 100 percent, always, then I have to give 100 percent'."

Catley and her teammates start the day at 7.30am. "We've been non-stop for the last four to five weeks now. Training, gym, meetings, the lot," she said about preparing for the World Cup. "The rest of the day is made up of ice-baths, massage, physio treatment and often media commitments… But the closer we get to the games, you can see the hard work paying off and everything starting to come together, so the hard work has definitely been worth it."

Catley was thrilled about taking part in the World Cup not just for herself and her team ,but for future athletes. "It's an opportunity for us, as a team, to inspire young girls and young boys," she said. "I had no [female athletes] to look up to growing up, to aspire to be a footballer, compared to what it's like now. As a team, we have the opportunity to perform on the biggest stage on home soil, and I think it's so, so exciting. It could change anything – everything – for football in Australia for young girls and young boys. So to be honest, I wish the World Cup was starting tomorrow. I'm just excited to get going."

Kinsey Wolanski shows off her incredibly fit figure

Kinsey Wolanski is happy to be home in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the helicopter pilot-slash-influencer shows off her incredibly fit figure in a bathing suit as she walks on the beach. "Finally after 3 weeks away I am back in Cali and so excited to have my routine," she shared with her 3.7 million followers.

In her Instagram post, Kinsey revealed that has been lifting weights for years and years." 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.

Recently, Kinsey found a more gentle exercise approach. "Now I'm a full Pilates girly and just tons of walking. Finally I feel my body responding the way I want, I have always been curvy and staying lean has always been a struggle but I am really happy with where I am at and loving my new routine," she said in the same post.

Kinsey is an adventurer and loves to hike. She recently took a trip to Patagonia and hiked in the snow. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

Building stronger muscles and bones

Improving your sense of balance

Improving your heart health

Decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems

Kinsey loves snorkeling and free diving. "Yesterday I got to free dive with sharks and it was the most unreal experience," she captioned a post. 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.

Kinsey also surfs. "I prefer this life," she captioned an Instagram Reel of all the outdoor activities she loves, including surfing. According to the Australian government's Better Health, surfing provides many health benefits including cardiovascular fitness from paddling, shoulder and back strength, which also strengthens from the paddling, and leg and core strength. "Once you're standing up on the board, strong legs and a strong core will keep you up," they say.

One of Kinsey's go-to self-care rituals is taking baths. 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.

Kinsey also does acro yoga. "Just messing around trying to learn some fun new skills. Acro requires you to be so balanced and calm but still flipping through the air….. a hard balance I'm still trying to master haha," she captioned a post. 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."

Cheerleader Brittany Spencer shares photos from Lake Tahoe

Professional NBA cheerleader Brittany Spencer spent the last of the summer months traveling and having a good time—and she's got the pictures to prove it. Spencer shared pictures taken from a little jaunt up to Lake Tahoe, including pictures of her climbing into a yacht while wearing a black one-piece swimsuit with matching hat. "LA girlie takes Tahoe ?," she captioned the post.

Spencer has been practicing yoga for years. "My yoga teacher this morning asked the class what brings us joy when starting our day," she captioned an Instagram video. "For me it's practicing yoga & making myself a blueberry lavender latte (thx to @milkhoneystyle recipe?) If you do something you love when you wake up, the brighter the rest of your day will be☀️ What brings you happiness in the morning?"

One look at Spencer's food Instagram shows that avocados feature very heavily in rotation (the account is even called Avocado Brit). "If you can swap out your high-fat processed foods like sausages with avocado, you will be doing yourself a favor," says Zhaoping Li, MD. "Avocados are high in fat, but it's good fat. This counters the public opinion that all fats are bad… Natural food, particularly in place of processed food, is what we want to be eating to prevent disease, to keep ourselves in good health, and that includes keeping our skin healthy."

Spencer loves iced lattes as her energy booster of choice. "Both regular and decaf coffee seem to have a protective effect on your liver," say the experts at Johns Hopkins Medicine. "Research shows that coffee drinkers are more likely to have liver enzyme levels within a healthy range than people who don't drink coffee."

Sushi is one of Spencer's favorite foods, and it's healthy too—seafood is a rich source of omega-3 fatty acids. "EPA and DHA are called essential fatty acids because your body cannot make them," says Anthony DiMarino, RD. "Seafood is one of the best sources of these fats, which improve heart and blood vessel health. Omega-3s have been linked to lower risks of high blood pressure, blood clots and sudden cardiac death."

Spencer fuels her training with high-protein breakfast foods such as eggs. "We are probably more embracing of eggs within a heart-healthy dietary pattern than we were 20 years ago, but it's still a source of dietary cholesterol," says Jo Ann Carson, professor of clinical nutrition at UT Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas. "Eating an egg a day as a part of a healthy diet for healthy individuals is a reasonable thing to do."

Morgan Romano shares swimsuit photo in the Cancun sun

Miss USA 2022 Morgan Romano is looking back on a wonderful vacation she took last year in Cancun, Mexico. Romano, 25, shared a throwback photo of herself enjoying an outdoor shower in a beautiful resort, wearing an orange one-piece swimsuit. "A year ago in the Cancún sun ☀️," she captioned the post. "Missing this trip and you so much ??," commented Miss Maine 2022 Elizabeth Kervin.

Romano says she is of course extra careful about diet and exercise in the run up to pageants and competitions, especially if she knows she will be wearing a bikini, but for the most part she lives a very healthy lifestyle. "It's not just because of this industry—I've always eaten pretty healthy, I was a competitive dancer my whole life," she says. "I did ballet, and you have to fuel your body with good fuel to be able to perform your best. It's a lifestyle for me. It's always been that way."

Romano refuses to follow any restrictive diets that eliminate entire food groups, saying it would not be sustainable for her. "I don't restrict anything, I don't count calories, I don't weigh myself," she says. "It's about balance. I eat pretty healthy in the week but, for example, this past weekend I was in Charleston, North Carolina and I went to Mexican for dinner. And then at midnight I had a Chick-fil-A sandwich. If my body is telling me you want ice cream, I'm going to go get ice cream and not feel bad about it."

Romano prefers at-home workouts to gym sessions, although she enjoys classes. "I used to do CrossFit but it's hard on your body," she says. "I had good results but it was too much." Romano always fuels herself before a workout. "I can't function if I'm hungry.I have low blood sugar, I will pass out, I'll be cranky… they'll be asking me questions in an interview and I'll just be like 'I don't know.' I can't think straight. I have got to eat"

Romano describes herself as having a "Hannah Montana-like double life" where she is a chemical engineer by day and training for pageants by night. "My chemistry teacher in high school told me about [engineering]. But on the other side, I grew up being a competitive dancer my whole life and loving being a performer and being on stage; and I was a girly girl, and I loved to dress up and wear heels and wear crowns. It's so funny. We have so many photos of me as a little girl in plastic crowns, and now I'm Miss USA, so I guess I was destined for it."

Romano is passionate about being a role model for young girls who want to be in STEM. "We need more women (in STEM) and that starts at a younger age because your curiosity and the things you're passionate about start to shape when you're young," she says. "If kids aren't being told about STEM, how would they know to ever pursue it? I went through elementary, middle and high school and no one ever talked to me about STEM opportunities. I just stumbled upon it and checked the box for chemical engineering and had no idea what to expect."

Lis Vega flaunts her amazing body

Lis Vega is motivating her followers – in her swimsuit. In a recent social media post the Cuban actress and singer flaunts her amazing body in a bathing suit top while sharing a motivational message with fans. "What are you going to do today with what you have, to continue learning, to follow your purpose, transcend and reach the hearts of others ???♾️ WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TODAY FOR YOU!" she captioned the Instagram post. "Wow," commented one of her followers.

Lis maintains a healthy, gluten-free diet. She starts her day with a bowl of gluten-free oatmeal with scrambled egg whites with corn. Lunch is a chicken breast with whole wheat pasta. Three things she avoids? White flour, gluten, and canned food.

Lis relies on strength training to keep her in shape. She shares photos and videos of her gym sessions on social media, which consists mostly of primarily weight and strength training. She also isn't afraid of lifting heavy weights, which help build and tone her muscles. 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.

Lis spends a lot of time dancing, and loves sharing videos on social media. 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.

Lis also does a lot of cardio, including spinning on a bike. "It not only helps tone legs and glutes, but also helps you tone The torso and the limbs superior so it's a very thorough exercise. It serves as both to burn fat, or to improve physical and cardiovascular condition," she captioned the post. 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.

Lis advocates self-love and acceptance. "Do not look for your ideal body in other people's bodies, build yours, become your greatest pride, love the process and listen to your inner voice saying YOU CAN, one more day," she wrote in a post, urging her followers to exercise to take care of their mental, emotional, and physical health. "Create habits that nourish you daily and raise your frequency," she added.

Ricki-Lee is having a blast in Cabo San Lucas

Ricki-Lee is steaming up Cabo San Lucas in one of her latest social media posts the New Zealand-born Australian singer shows off her swerving curves in a black bathing suit while vacationing at the ultra luxe Nobu Los Cabos resort. "Hola Mexico," she captioned the Instagram snap, getting flooded with comments by her followers. "Jessica Rabbit!" wrote one. "Hourglass," added another.

Ricki-Lee works hard for her body. "I'm not one of those girls who is naturally thin and can eat whatever I want. I am consistent with the food I eat day in day out and I work my ass off in the gym … literally!" she wrote on Instagram in 2015.

"I go through phases where I let go a little bit and relax my training and indulge in my guilty pleasures more than usual … we all do!" Ricki-Lee wrote in the same post. "And I think it's good for the soul to do that. But for the most part, my life is routine. I eat the same clean foods every day."

Ricki-Lee exercises almost every day. "I train hard 6 days a week," she wrote in her post. 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.

Ricki-Lee also reveals that she indulges. "I plan my 'cheat meals' and work hard to earn them and I savour every mouthful! And then I'm sweating it off the next day in the gym," she wrote in the post.

Ricki-Lee revealed her daily diet in an Instagram Story. She starts with a banana and coffee with soy milk and sugar for breakfast. Lunch is a bowl filled with carrot, hummus, cherry tomatoes, pickled onions and a can of tuna, seasoned with tablespoons of homemade ginger sauce. Dinner options include peanut butter chicken in lettuce cups or with broccoli, a Mexican chicken salad bowl with guacamole and hot sauce, grilled fish with salad or green vegetables, and sesame soy garlic chicken with broccoli.

"To keep it tight, up and perky you have got to put the work in," Ricki-Lee says about why she does a combination of high intensity workouts, lifting weights and plenty of squats, squat jumps and lunges. "One of my favourite's is a step-up into a reverse lunge," she said. "I really enjoy watching my body change as I work with weights or if I do more cardio. I find it fascinating."

"For me it's just about how I feel and when I go for a run or when I do an awesome workout, I feel strong, alive and awake," Ricki-Lee told News.com.au. "I feel like I can take on the whole world, that's why I eat healthy and that's why I workout — not for any other reason."

Miley Cyrus looking good in front of the camera

Miley Cyrus might have evolved from being a TV star, but she still knows how to take an amazing picture. Cyrus, 30, shared a dramatic photo of herself on social media, posing in a gold one-piece swimsuit against a background of a swimming pool, ocean, and palm trees. "You broke your own heart but you'd never say that," she cryptically captioned the post. "My goodness you look gorgeous and you know it," a fan commented.

Cyrus loves working out, treating it as a fun activity rather than a chore. "My physical appearance is always an extension of my creativity," she says. "I am very literal when it comes to externally representing the 'era'. Outside of music, physical fitness is my most passionate creative outlet. I find so much fun in choreographing my workouts. I think there is a greater chance of maintaining a fitness commitment if you don't think of it as work but as play."

Cyrus is diligent about taking care of her skin—and admits she hasn't always got it right. "I'm so obsessed with being clean," she says. "My skin was always so bad that I felt like any time anyone else did my makeup it would just take me back. I think it's important for girls to just try and really take care of their skin and keep it clean." One thing she won't try again is dermaplaning. "You know that famous photo of Marilyn Monroe shaving her face? I tried that once because I felt like that was a beauty secret, and it was insane. Don't shave your face, ever. I walked out looking like my brother."

Cyrus learned beauty and style lessons while working on Hannah Montana. I learned about routine and dedication when it comes to skincare while on the set of Hannah Montana," she says. "It's so important to keep up with a consistent skincare routine, and to be dedicated in order to get the results you want. Wearing a wig on set taught me to respect drag queens at a very young age! The art of creating a glamorous alter ego and looking at wigs costuming and make up as more than just self-decoration, but also armor."

Cyrus has learned how important downtime and self care are for both her health and her looks. "I basically have it down to a science these days," she says. "Taking care of yourself from the inside out is so important. Your beauty routine is a form of self-love because it means you're taking time out of your day to check in with yourself, mentally and physically… I struggled with acne, triggered by juggling school, work, filming, not to mention all the stage makeup, when I was younger. I finally realized that something that works for someone else might not work for me, so I saw a dermatologist and learned that there isn't a one-size-fits-all solution to skincare."

Cyrus keeps her style incredibly simple when she's not working. "On my days off I am usually in all black; there is something classic [about it] – you could find a girl from each generation I've admired wearing something similar," she says. "I like that it's mysterious and doesn't draw too much attention to me. Then, when I am on stage, I use color and fabric to enhance the emotion of the music."
