Draya Michele is heating it up in the tropics

Draya Michele is heating up the tropics in her swimsuit. In one of her latest social media posts, the Basketball Wives star makes her followers wild, wearing a barely-there bathing suit.

Draya follows a strict diet dubbed the "military diet" when she wants to slim down fast. It involves consuming only clean foods like grapefruit and lean protein. "You know what I had for breakfast today?" she revealed in an Instagram video. "Coffee, one hard-boiled egg, celery, and a spoonful of cottage cheese."

Draya makes her strength and weight training workout count. She uses small equipment, like exercise bands, free weights, and a kettlebell and focuses on building muscle. She also does cardio. "I am naturally skinny but I stay on the treadmill in my house," she told RadarOnline. "I watch the clock for the ENTIRE 45 minutes like a hawk. But I work really hard, I'm up to an eight incline."

Draya has one message when it comes to hydration: "Increase your water intake," she explained to FashionBombDaily per Madame Noire about her go-to health tip. "Any amount is better than what you've been drinking. Your body and skin will thank you for it in the long run." 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.

"I try to cook as much as I can and I don't necessarily cook healthy, but I use very small portions to keep the calories at bay," she told FashionBombDaily.

"I am six months pescatarian. I've tried to limit my chicken and red meat consumption a lot. I try to drink a lot of water. I try to work out. My downfalls are sweets. I really love sweets. And alcohol goes with partying. If I'm going to drink, I try to diet. If I'm not going to diet, I try to skip dessert," she told BET about her approach to health. "Dieting is always going to be a struggle, so that's why you have to balance it with working out. I don't eat whatever I want, but if I do eat whatever I want, I at least got to work out to make it even."

Gymnast Nastia Liukin shows off her incredible figure.

Nastia Liukin, Olympic gymnast shows off her incredibly fit figure in a bathing suit and cover-up in one of her latest social media posts."Swim fit," she captioned the Instagram Reel. "Top to bottom," commented Jenna Sims. "Perfect 10," added another one of her followers.

Nastia works out every day. "I always feel better when I get in a workout," she says, "even if it's 30 minutes or 20 minutes of something, every single day," she told Today. "I think the most important thing to know is, you'll never regret a workout when it's over. And it's just hard to tell yourself that before you've done it. But just try to remember how you feel after your workout, and know that when you feel good, you look good, and you have more confidence, and so I think that that's really important." One of her go-to workouts? "The most effective for me is running, though it's not my favorite," she told Today about her go-to workout. "But if I need to get in shape quickly, I need to run."

She doesn't lift weights often. "If I do weights, it's probably very light weights, five to ten pounds, no more than that." She does have three go-to exercise moves: A plank, side plank, and Russian twist. She planks for a total of one minute, then follows it up with 20 on each side of side planks and Russian twists, she revealed to Today.

Nastia mixes up her routine. "I love boxing with my trainer. Harvard Health maintains that boxing a great way to build strength, improve balance, posture, hand-eye coordination, boost mood and endurance, and helps increase alertness.

"I love barre classes and hot yoga. I love Pilates. That really elongates you, but it's also important to do some kind of cardio and now that the weather's nice I love running along the West Side. It's a beautiful view. I take spinning classes, too," she told The Cut.

Nastia doesn't diet but focuses on eating clean. "A lot of protein, a lot of vegetables, a lot of greens. I don't really eat too many carbs, and if I do, it's brown rice or quinoa," she told Today about what she puts in her body.

Nastia also loves playing golf. 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.

Surfer Anastasia Ashley shows off her incredible body

Anastasia Ashley is hanging 10 – in her swimsuit. In one of her latest social media posts, the professional surfer-slash-model shows off her incredible body in a bathing suit, in addition to her mad surfing skills. "Afternoon surf," she captioned the Instagram Reel.

"I'm in the gym every day I'm not at the beach, doing a mix of cardio and strength-training, such as squats on the Bosu ball, leg lifts and lunges. I love spin classes as well — listening to blaring music and getting super-sweaty," Anastasia tells Men's Fitness. 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.

Anastasia eats clean. "Stay away from processed foods. If it didn't come from the earth, it's not meant to be in your body," she says about her top diet rule. "According to the Department of Agriculture, processed food are any raw agricultural commodities that have been washed, cleaned, milled, cut, chopped, heated, pasteurized, blanched, cooked, canned, frozen, dried, dehydrated, mixed or packaged — anything done to them that alters their natural state. This may include adding preservatives, flavors, nutrients and other food additives, or substances approved for use in food products, such as salt, sugars and fats," says the Mayo Clinic.

Obviously, surfing helps Anastasia stay in shape. "Surfing is a full-body workout. When you're riding the board and balancing, you use your legs for balance and stability. And because you're always squatting, which is an uncomfortable and abnormal body position, it challenges your butt and legs," she tells Cosmopolitan.

Anastasia walks on an incline. "While cardio alone won't keep you toned, I walk on a treadmill at a high incline, climb on the StairMaster, and do lots of quick intervals," she told Cosmopolitan. "With the incline walking, I'll do 12 to 15 incline at a 3 to 4 mile-per-hour pace. Even if you jog or run for five minutes on a super high incline, it's still pretty hard!"

Anastasia rides bikes. "I also love doing spinning. I'm a Flywheel fan. It's the best workout overall, and it gets you motivated and competitive," she adds. 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.

Madelaine Petsch shows off her beautiful body

Madelaine Petsch is taking time to recalibrate in her swimsuit. In one of her latest social media posts the Riverdale alum shows off her beautiful body while taking some much-needed rest and relaxation. "Reset," she captioned a series of Instagram snaps taken during her getaway.

Madelaine exercises, but only when it's fun. "I used to feel like I 'had' to work out everyday, I'm not sure why. But lately I've been going to the gym when it sounds fun to me and more for my mental health. I've honestly never felt better or seen better results in my strength. Listen to your body," she revealed in an interview. "The thing I love most about my body is how perplexed I am about all the things it can do. The more I learn about my body the more fascinated I am by it," she added in a Body Scan video for Women's Health. "The more I move the happier I'll be. I link my mental health to working out."

Madelaine is a longtime vegan. "Protein is something I really have to be aware of in every meal or else my energy levels just go completely downhill," she told Women's Health. She describes herself as "such a carb fan" so she eats a lot of protein pasta, like red lentil pasta. "I need to hit my salivary glands and I also need to hit my protein."

In her latest social media posts, Madelaine reveals that reading is one of her "reset" habits. Why should you pick up a book? 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.

Madelaine rides horses. "Wholesome," she captioned this recent snap. According to the American Heart Association, riding horses is great for your health. Not only does it boost cardiovascular health, but builds core strength, burns calories, and lowers blood pressure. It is also great for your mental health as it helps relax you.

Madelaine prioritizes hydration, drinking 11 to 13 500 ml-bottles of water per day. 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.

Alexandra Daddario shows off her famous figure

Beach hair, don't care! In one of her latest social media posts, White Lotus beauty Alexandra Daddario shows off her famous figure in a bathing suit during a day on the shoreline. "Beach hair," she captioned the Instagram photo, showing off her messy locks and looking naturally gorgeous.

Alexandra is a devoted yogi. "Free your hips and your mind will follow," she captioned a recent clip of her flow session. Why should you do yoga? "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," Harvard Health says. "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."

Alexandra was introduced to acupuncture at the age of 23, when she was suffering from a frozen shoulder. She swears by the Chinese medicine practice, claiming that it helps with sleep and stress levels. "I'm obsessed. I've had the needles everywhere—all over my body," she told Women's Health. "New place-not going to move again for at least a month," she captioned a recent post of herself during a session.

Alexandra loves hitting the slopes. 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.

Alexandra makes sure to go on lots of adventures. "Take a vacation from your problems," she captioned a post. She loves exploring new places, going on hikes and long walks. "I've found that my body heals faster and responds better if I'm in tune with myself and can be in nature," she told Women's Health.

Alexandra has a healthy approach to diet, starting her day with a cappuccino with almond or oat milk and yogurt and fruit or egg whites with spinach and toast. For lunch she eats a turkey sandwich with cheese, mustard, and mayo, and dinner is usually a bowl of pasta with veggies and olive oil.

Jasmine Sanders is looking stunning

Jasmine Sanders is turning up the heat in Charleston – in her swimsuit. In one of her latest social media posts, the model-slash-influencer, who also goes by the nickname "Golden Barbies," shows off her famous figure in a tiny bathing suit. "You can thank my niece for these ☺️ Couldn't pick a fave – what's yours?" she asked her 6 million-plus Instagram followers.

Jasmine doesn't pay attention to the numbers. "I don't mind what size I am. I honestly couldn't tell you my jeans size because I haven't worn them in forever. I'm in activewear all the time because that's what I'm comfortable wearing daily," she told Fox News. "I've been different sizes over the years. I was extremely tiny at some point, still healthy, but very small in the eyes of a lot of people," she continued. "Now that I'm older – I've been in the industry for over 15 years – I feel like I've made a pretty nice name for myself.

I know how to maintain the weight that I'm at or lose at a healthy rate. But more importantly, I want to make sure I'm feeling my best self mentally. So I would tell girls to embrace your curves. Feel good about yourself, no matter what size you are. I work out to feel good and experience life. I want to feel comfortable in the skin that I'm in. And it doesn't matter what the measuring tape says."

If you want a fit figure like Jasmine, you will have to work for it. "I definitely try to do faster cardio in the morning just to get it out of the way. And then if I can, I'll do some type of activity outside, like jump rope. But I also focus a lot on my legs like squats, lunges, and mountain climbers," she told Fox News. "I also have a StairMaster. But if I'm not doing that, I go on a bike ride down the beach. I also like meeting up with friends to work out right before a shoot because I want to prepare myself mentally more than anything."

Jasmine recommends a protein-centric diet. She does cheat on occasion. "I love crab legs and crab boils. I have a friend who makes amazing crab boils and he delivers them to my house. I like my pasta. I've been loving burgers lately and I'm not really a burger girl," she told Fox News. "But I try to balance it out throughout the day. If I eat something like a burger, then I'll have my salads and get some grains in. I think moderation is key."

Jasmine maintains that "leading up to a swimsuit shoot, I definitely eat healthily. I take my vitamins. I do apple cider vinegar in the morning." Why ACV? "For me, I just feel like it helps with my digestive system. I feel better after a couple of days of taking it. A lot of my friends can't drink it and hate the taste of it *laughs*. I like to add a little bit of water and lemon to make it taste a little better. But I don't taste it anymore," she added.

Jasmine maintains that Pilates is essential for preparing her body for rigorous modeling shoots. "You have to be strong enough to hold these positions for a long time. You're popping your body and contorting it in a certain way," she told Fox News. "I find Pilates really helpful, especially when you're modeling and holding poses for a long time. At the end of a shoot, your body gets really tired and you're exhausted. And for some shoots, you have to do that for two, three days in a row. It can be a lot on your body. But I also love stretching after a shoot. It's all about finding ways to keep moving and staying active throughout your day."

Basketball star Cameron Brink shows off her incredibly fit figure

Cameron Brink is hitting the beach – in her swimsuit. In one of her latest social media posts the Stanford basketball star shows off her incredibly fit figure in a bathing suit. "Could use another walk on the beach," the NCAA star captioned the set of Instagram snaps.

"There's always pressure," Brink told the San Francisco Chronicle . "I'm good at putting more on myself. Even last year, I was so afraid to lose and I think that was the wrong kind of motivation. This year, I'm putting it into wanting to win and finding the right kind of pressure."

Cameron keeps her loved ones in the loop when she is struggling. "Everyone has their way of coping," Brink told San Francisco Chronicle. "I'm really good about being vulnerable. Whenever I'm in a bad mood or not having a good day, people around me will know. Mental health should be seen as hygiene, like brushing your teeth every day; you should be checking in with yourself, so I haven't been afraid to share that I've struggled mentally."

Cameron is a golfer. "Get off the fairway," she captioned a cute photo of herself on the course. 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.

In a recent video, Cameron shows off her moves during a flow session. "Fueling my body, nourishing my mind, she captioned the video of herself recentering. "Self-care isn't selfish, it's self-love. So let's honor our bodies and minds, embracing the journey to optimal well-being."

Cameron reveals that she doesn't use vacation as an excuse to put fitness on the backburner. She walks on the beach. 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.

Alexis Ren enjoys surfing

Alexis Ren is surfing in her swimsuit. The influencer-turned-actress shows off her famous figure in a bathing suit in one of her latest social media posts. "Lots and lots of practice," she captioned the Instagram post.

In a recent Instagram post, Run detailed her love of dance. "Ballet has been so many things for me. It's been heaven and an escape. Hell and a prison. Through hours of pouring sweat and soul onto the dance floor, I have found a work ethic and a determination I wouldn't trade for the world. The ability to look resistance square in the eyes and keep going. Yet, I've also pushed myself over the edge striving for perfection," she wrote. "When you get that first pair of point shoes, they're stiff. Snug to the bone, they must be broken in through time and dedication.

Eventually there is a level of trust, until finally over time they can no longer hold you up and we have to once again find a new shoe that fits. Art is like this. We're new students, stumbling and finding our way until we get the hang of something. Eventually, we outgrow our own work and if we aren't willing to risk something new, our spark crumbles and breaks down. No matter what phase i'm in—the building or the breaking, I know that if I step into a studio, I am home.

Home in this body, home in this world. If any of you are asking yourselves where your spark for life went- ask: have I abandoned parts of myself? Go backwards. Sometimes, (most of the time) our evolution comes from peeling back the layers that were never meant to be there. Remembering who you were is how you continue to build your legacy, staying forever faithful to your spark. Our childhood dreams become our adult passions."

Alexis loves playing tennis. 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.

"In the mornings, I journal," Alexis told Grazia. "I think journaling is one of the most important things to build into your morning routine. Journaling is an important tool because the days and years pass by so quickly, but journaling stays forever. Looking back, you get to see yourself grow in your writing. When I look back on my journals from even five years ago, it makes me proud to see how much I've grown and evolved."

"My bedtime varies, although lately, it's been around 11:30 pm," she told Grazia. "The time I wake up varies by the day, but if I have a few days off, I try to let myself sleep in (which means 9 am latest). I like to listen to my body and tune in to what it's telling me, even if that means waking up at 6 am daily, or 9 am from time to time. As of lately, I feel more creative towards the evening, so I have been staying up a little later to work on projects and brainstorm."

In her recent Instagram post, Alexis shows off her love of surfing. "I love surfing," she told Grazia about one of her favorite SoCal activities. 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.

Gal Gadot shows off her amazing body

Gal Gadot is soaking up the sun in her swimsuit. In one of her latest social media posts the Israeli actress shows off her amazing body in a bathing suit while enjoying the final days of summer. "There is nothing better than spending time in the sun ❤️☀️My heart is full and my soul is happy. Thank you," she captioned the Instagram post.

"I grew up being a dancer. So learning how to do the action – it's like a dance. It's choreography, they call it action choreography. I love it. You play with your body, you play with your brain," Gal recently told Vogue.

Gal is one of the few stars who tries to do as many of her own stunts as possible. "The team of stunt women that I work with I take everywhere with me because I couldn't do what I do without them. I try to do as much of the action as they let me. It's important for me to do this, because I feel like action and the performance is made not just with the choreography but also by the intention of the action. And to me, it's so important to have both," she told Vogue.

Who is Gal's inspiration and real life Wonder Woman? "My mom. It's a cliche of an answer, I know. But I have such an incredible force of a mum that raised us to be grateful. And I think that grateful people are very happy because they are always happy with what they have. So she taught us to be grateful. And to dare. She always put such good healthy seeds of confidence and self empowerment in me and my sister and she is my true wonder woman. And she is just such a good person too," she told Vogue.

Gal doesn't just kick butt on the screen. Like every Israeli, Gadot served her country in the armed forces, working as a combat trainer for the Israeli Defense Forces.

In an exclusive interview with Vogue Hong Kong, the actress reveals some of her favorite comfort foods. "So if we're talking about Israel, I love bourekas, it's like a pastry with a crispy dough and cheese in it." She also loves pita bread with falafel, salad and tahini, and a classic American cheeseburger with fries and a good ol' mac and cheese.

Julia Rose is hitting the beach and showing off her tan

Julia Rose is hitting the beach in 105 F heat, and showing off her tan in the process. Rose, who previously had an on-again-off-again relationship with Jake Paul, shared pictures of herself laying on the sand in classic "hot dog legs" pose. She's also seen walking up stairs to the sand, wearing a white bikini. "Perfectly cooked hot dogs/legs?" she jokingly wrote on her beach selfies.

Rose starts the day with lemon and water, and swears by coconut oil for her beautiful complexion. "I have had trouble with my skin in the past so I live by drinking a big glass of warm lemon water right when I wake up and drinking as much water as possible throughout the day," she says. "Also rubbing coconut oil on my face before going to sleep."

Rose swears by staying hydrated and making an effort to work out every day even if it's only a mini-workout. "I played softball pretty much from the time I could walk all the way through college," she says. "DRINK LOTS OF WATER. I know people say it all the time, but it makes such a difference. Also, mix up workout routines and keep things interesting. Even getting up and hiking, or 15 minutes of cardio is better than nothing."

Rose loves horseback riding, which is a great way to bond with an animal, get exercise, and enjoy the fresh air. "How's that saying go again? You can take the girl out of Texas but…." she captioned an Instagram post of herself wearing a crop top, jeans, and trucker hat while on horseback.

Rose loves animals, especially dogs and baby goats. "Dogs are very present. If someone is struggling with something, they know how to sit there and be loving," says Dr. Ann Berger, a physician and researcher at the NIH Clinical Center in Bethesda, Maryland. "Their attention is focused on the person all the time… The foundations of mindfulness include attention, intention, compassion, and awareness. All of those things are things that animals bring to the table. People kind of have to learn it. Animals do this innately."

Rose has learned to embrace her imperfections. "I have learned that some days are going to be better than others," she says. "Some days you wake up feeling confident and beautiful and other days you don't feel like getting out of bed. But pushing through it and learning to love yourself through the process is important. I define beauty as being confident and loving every inch of yourself. I know it sounds cheesy and I know it's way harder than it sounds but learning to love yourself, even your scars… that's beautiful."

Veronika Rajek is on vacation in beautiful Capri, Italy.

Slovakian model Veronika Rajek is sunning herself on vacation in beautiful Capri, Italy. Rajek, 27, shared a video of herself relaxing on a lounger in a blue and green bikini, against a background of beautiful ocean water and blue skies. How does Rajek stay so toned and fit? The model is open about her diet and exercise philosophy, and the food she avoids at all cost.

Rajek works out every day and enjoys a healthy diet. "I workout normally like running, squats and abs, 1 hour 30 mins of workout time," she says. "I only eat like Greek salads, tomato soup, grapes with Nutella and strawberries, spaghetti and some Slovak food. If you want to be my friend, you need to cook something for me. I don't eat fast food. I don't eat healthy, but I don't eat trash or junk food. When I was working as a model in Milan and I only had a few Euros I went to McDonald's and didn't know what it was because I was 16. I got a cheeseburger and didn't like it."

Rajek advises someone at the start of their workout journey to keep it simple, and avoid unhealthy foods. "It's easy to get started today," she says. "Even if you don't have deep pockets, you can still live healthier. After all, I was also a girl from a small town who didn't even have three Euros for a gym membership, so I worked out at home, with bottles of water. Good diet advice: you can't eat what you don't have at home, so beware of unhealthy treats that unnecessarily tempt you in the store. Just don't buy them."

Rajek refuses to count calories or follow fad diets. "I have a rather clean healthy diet," she says. "I don't drink alcohol or coffee, I limit meat and I don't even eat raw animal products. I don't diet, I don't fast, and I don't even follow calorie counts. In general, I don't follow influencers who have been working out for a year and already give instructions for the body of their dreams. I don't understand this trend. After all, I know my body best, since I live with it my whole life."

Rajek starts her day with lime water, and swears by early nights for her health and beauty. "Limes are low in calories, high in micronutrients and punch above their weight with regard to both water and fiber content," says Carly Sedlacek RDN, LD. "They're really good for us, but most of us aren't going to make a snack of them. The juice — without added sugar — is the best we can do."

Rajek says if a beginner can afford a trainer, it's well worth it. "If you have a budget for exercise, invest it in a trainer who will teach you how to exercise properly technically and set a tailored diet for you," she says. "And when you don't have a budget, the internet is full of information and YouTube is full of fitness videos. Also, don't be afraid to ask for help if you go to the gym, shyness does not belong there and everyone is willing to give you advice. After all, we all go to the gym for the same thing: to have a better, healthier and fitter body."

"It's official that women become more beautiful as they age," one of her Instagram fans commented. "No filter at its finest," added another. "The most beautiful Turkish woman," a third chimed in.

Building stronger muscles and bones

Improving your sense of balance

Improving your heart health

Decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems

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

Fahriye also loves riding bikes, a low-impact aerobic exercise per the Cleveland Clinic. It is also great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. As for mental health, it is a definite booster.

Fahriye eats what she wants. "I don't have a special diet," she said, joking that running after her child is how she burns so many calories.

Skier Lindsey Vonn is still looking amazing

Lindsey Vonn is one of the most well-known skiers in the world. She's competed in the Winter Olympics, winning one gold medal and two bronze medals. Now retired, Vonn is still looking amazing. She recently shared a set of photos on Instagram of a trip she took to Lake Powell. Vonn rode jet-skis and posed in a swimsuit. She captioned the post, "Doctor approved activities."

In an interview with The New York Post, Vonn talked about how her training has changed since retiring from her sport. She says that she focuses more on being lean. "I used to do things that were so sport specific, so I had to be bigger," she explained. "But everyone is like, 'Oh my God, you're in the best shape of your life.' It's like — yes and no. I'm not training for my sport anymore, I am training to be lean and fit."

Vonn shares some of her wellness and health tips on Instagram. She said in one of her stories that she enjoys staying healthy. "1) Continue to take care of me," she said. "2) Maintain this clean living (foods, self care and personal growth. 3) Keep working out because it makes me happy and I feel better when I do it… and just ENJOY LIFE!"

In an interview with Live Naturally, Vonn talked about how she learned to eat healthy. "I was pretty clueless about nutrition as a kid. Diets have changed a lot too, because back when I was a teenager people were telling me to load up on carbs. I'd tell my younger self that mac and cheese was not the best meal … Plus, I ate a ton of the sugariest-possible cereal—that's like eating solid corn syrup! I'd also get myself to eat vegetables—I'm still not the best at eating them now; I try hard, but I've tended to rely on vitamins and supplements."

When it comes to carbs, Vonn chooses ones that are low-glycemic. "I ate Paleo [no grains, legumes or added sugar, and minimal dairy] for two and a half years, but now I've added more low-glycemic carbohydrates in the morning and afternoon for more energy and more protein and vegetables in the evening," she told Live Naturally. "Some low-glycemic carbs I like to eat are quinoa, Thai rice noodles or pumpernickel bread—they don't give me as high of an insulin response."

Vonn makes sure to get enough protein, and tells Live Naturally that she needs to pick the right proteins. "I used to drink a protein shake in between my runs in GS or slalom, but I found that if you have too much protein while you're working out, it takes too much energy for your body to process it, which is energy your body then can't use for fuel. So now I'll have a pumpernickel sandwich with almond butter and apple or banana, so I get carbs, proteins and fat all together."

Carly Lawrence is enjoying the sunshine and blue skies in the beautiful state of Georgia

Too Hot To Handle star Carly Lawrence is enjoying the sunshine and blue skies in the beautiful state of Georgia. Lawrence posted a picture of herself looking tan and fit while posing in a bright fruit-patterned bikini, her hair loose around her shoulders. "Gorgeous," an admiring fan commented. "Perfect," said another.

Lawrence married Love Island USA's Bennett Sipes in May 2022 in Los Angeles, and says she is living a healthier life these days. "I've cut out drinking and partying because we're going to Hawaii," she says. "We spend a lot of time with our families, with our dogs and we're so focused on work right now. We have fun, we go to dinner and stuff. We see some of our friends."

Lawrence lifts heavy weights as part of her exercise routine. "Lean muscle mass naturally diminishes with age," according to the Mayo Clinic. "Your body fat percentage will increase over time if you don't do anything to replace the lean muscle you lose over time. Strength training can help you preserve and enhance your muscle mass at any age."

Lawrence describes herself as a homebody, and loves quiet time with her pets. "When we're frazzled, our fight-or-flight response is on overload causing a host of problems," says clinical health psychologist Amy Sullivan, PsyD, ABPP. "We can use calm, quiet moments to tap into a different part of the nervous system that helps shut down our bodies' physical response to stress."

Lawrence is taking a step into the business world by releasing her own perfume. "I bought every perfume we could think of," she says. "I thought, 'There's so many that I love, and I was constantly mixing perfumes.' I realized I want girls to buy one fragrance and love it and not spend a ton of money because TikTok is telling them to. It's still in the process. I've had different samples, but I didn't like any of them. This is the first thing I am putting my face on, and I want it to be perfect. I found a new chemist in America, and it's going to take about four months. It's a bunch of my favorite perfumes combined into one. It will be sweet. I am going to start with one and then hopefully it does well."

Lawrence has fond memories of her time on Too Hot To Handle. "I was having fun, and I wasn't thinking about it," she says. "I didn't care if I was going to get judged, because I knew I was going to be judged regardless. Every episode that you see is genuinely me. Who wants to look at someone who's not genuine online? It's too fake and it gets boring. I could tell when some people weren't being genuine on the show. I could see it myself, and it definitely comes through on camera."

Gymnast Aleah Finnegan is enjoying the beautiful climate in Florence, Italy

Gymnast Aleah Finnegan is taking some well-earned time off from her intense training regimen to enjoy the beautiful climate in Florence, Italy. Olivia Dunne's BFF shared some highlights from her trip, including snaps of herself sitting next to a sparkling blue pool, wearing a bright yellow swimsuit. Behind her was the stunning Florence cityscape, complete with dreamy spires and blue skies. "Look both ways before crossing Florence Road," she captioned the post.

Finnegan's go-to breakfast is a bowl of oats and oat milk mixed with peanut butter, with chocolate chips, banana, salt, a drizzle of honey, and blueberries on top. "Oatmeal is a great option whether you make it simple or dress it up with fruit, seeds and nuts," says Andrea Dunn, RD, LD, CDE. "But besides just being an Instagram-worthy bowl of goodness, oatmeal offers a particularly impressive benefit. Eating just one and one-half cups of cooked oatmeal a day can lower your cholesterol by 5 to 8%."

Finnegan loves swimming as a low-impact and fun way to work out. "As cardiovascular exercises go, swimming offers a little less wear and tear on the body than other options," says exercise physiologist Christopher Travers, MS. "It's a good choice for just about anyone. The buoyancy of the water takes the weight off. It also adds resistance, but it's low impact."

Finnegan is proud of her Filipino heritage and sees herself a role model. "If they look at me and are like, 'Hey she's Filipino. I'm Filipino, too. Maybe I can do that one day," she says. "To be able to inspire people like that because of my ethnicity would be amazing. Filipino gymnasts don't get a lot of recognition, especially competing for the Philippines. I love how diverse gymnastics can be at the national level. It shows how connected we are through this one passion. I'm proud that I could represent the Philippines."

Finnegan is hoping to qualify in September for the 2024 Paris Olympics. "I think we're just seeing where this journey goes, you know," she says, adding that right now she is focusing on "Rest, lots and lots of rest. Maybe a three-week long nap, I hope. But I think just taking time to rest my body and rest my mind. Then, we'll pick it up again."

Finnegan has learned the power of positivity when it comes to competing. "Everyone around me who has just been so supportive and those people who aren't, as well," she says. "Those who are like, you're crazy, what are you doing? But I mean, God's given me the talent, the ability and the body to be able to continue to perform and so that's what I'm going to do… I think I'm just going to see how it goes with my body. I have some little issues that I've got to take care of, but nothing's set for the next competitions."

Lalisa Manobal likes showing off her incredible body

Lalisa Manobal is showing off her body in a bathing suit. In one of her latest social media posts the Blackpink rapper, more commonly known as Lisa flaunts her incredible figure in a rare swimsuit snap. "The queen of K-pop commented one of her millions of Instagram followers, while another called her the "sexiest idol."

Lisa spends a lot of time dancing. When the rapper appeared on the reality show Youth With You as a judge, she revealed that she practices her dance routines for 12 to 15 hours a day. 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.

Lisa also drinks coffee, which offers so many health benefits per the Cleveland Clinic. "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.

Lisa doesn't starve herself and instead fuels her body with food. "If you don't have anything to eat, you don't have energy," she told Youth With You competitors.

Prior to releasing her solo album, Lisa "tried harder to manage my physical strength and health with the thought of, 'If you're going to do it, do it right!'' since she would have to "fill the stage" on her own. "I worked out every day and did Pilates steadily to keep in shape and gain strength. It definitely helped a lot," she told Vogue.

Lisa believes in the power of positive thinking. "I always try to think positively. Even if I'm stressed out, I cheer up by looking at our cats and thinking about Blinks!" she told Vogue.

Amelia Gray Hamlin is modeling in a bathing suit

Amelia Gray Hamlin is modeling in her swimsuit. In one of her latest social media posts, the daughter of Harry Hamlin and Lisa Rinna shows off her amazing body in a bathing suit. "I'm a fairy," she captioned the photo shoot, frolicking in a wooded lake area. "You ARE," commented fellow nepo baby Scout Willis. "Icon," added another follower.

In a recent interview with W, Amelia revealed that she manifested her modeling career. She sai that after relocating from Los Angeles to New York City, she purchased a stack of fashion magazines, out images from W, Perfect, and CR Fashionbook, and created a dream board. "We burned candles and played music and guided meditations while we sat on the floor, boarding for probably five hours," she said. "I know it sounds hoo-ha witchy, but I really believe in the power of positive thinking."

The model is all about self-care. "I am an extremely introverted person, which is of course a blessing and a curse. After a shoot, it is very important for me to mentally recharge, as I probably have another one the following day. I need to decompress from the character(s) that I have been putting all my energy into all day so that I can master a new one tomorrow!" Amelia told Vogue France.

Amelia unwinds with books. "Reading for me is the ideal way to detach at the end of a working day. I am really into Abraham Hicks, Joe Dispenza or Wayne Dyer books to name a few. Right now I am reading The Untethered Soul by Michael A. Singer, which I can highly recommend," she told Vogue.

"My parents taught me how important kindness is," Amelia told Vogue. "I truly live by the idea that the most beautiful woman can walk in the room and quickly become the ugliest simply by how she treats others. My parents also taught me to work harder tomorrow than I did today."

"I have so many dreams. A lot of that involves of course covers of magazines and campaigns. But, at the end of the day, I want to be known as an artist that inspires people. I want to represent unapologetic and unique beauty from the inside. I want to embrace my flaws and insecurities to inspire others to love themselves for who they are. Everyone deserves to feel beauty and confidence. I hope I can play a role in that," Amelia told Vouge.

Singer Halsey shows off her slender figure

Halsey is taking a mirror selfie in her swimsuit. In one of her latest social media posts the singer and mom shows off her slender figure in a black bathing suit while posing in front of the mirror. "July things. august, be sweet," she captioned the post with her millions of followers.

If you want flat abs a la Halsey, you will have to work for it. One the singer's most defining physical assets are those washboard abs. In an interview with SiriusXM Halsey revealed that "a lot of sit-ups" were responsible for her amazing midsection.

Halsey stays active outdoors. Two of her favorite calorie-blasting activities are Hiking and rocking climbing. Apparently, she even goes rock climbing naked. She captioned this Instagram post, "don't go rock climbing naked. or do. do you." "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.

Halsey makes sure to indulge in self-care. She recently took a break and chilled out during a spa vacation. "lightning fast post tour re-charge before the rocket that is @af94_ takes off!" she captioned a post filled with pictures of herself getting face masks and relaxing.

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.

Pia Whitesell is looking zen and happy in the summer sunshine

Chilean-Australian model Pia Whitesell is looking zen and happy in the summer sunshine, judging by her recent social media activity. Whitesell, 39, shared pictures of herself relaxing by the ocean in a beautiful white bikini, sipping on a drink and cuddling her pup. "Feliz ????," she captioned the post. Whitesell's down-to-earth Aussie beauty looks effortless but she works hard to give that impression.

Whitesell is a big fan of Pilates. "I practice Pilates and I'm still really active with my boys," she says. "We're always in the ocean and I like to race them down the street when we're out for a bike ride. Burning sage or palo santo during my beauty routine makes it feel more like a wellbeing ritual. Also, I try not to over-wash my hair. I'm always swimming in the ocean, so popping on a hair mask helps."

Whitesell loves using her sauna and being active with her sons. "I have an infrared sauna, so I use that a lot," she says. "And I have an unheated pool, so I go from the sauna to the pool. I really do love infrared – you can have a moment of escapism. It's like, 'Boys, I'm in the sauna. Do not disturb.' Being in the ocean and outdoors as much as possible with my boys. Whether it's at a basketball court or going for a coastal walk, racing up the street. I have these boys with this insane athletic ability. They smash me!"

Whitesell starts the day with a brief meditation session. "I like to start with a 10-minute meditation session because it keeps me grounded and it's a great way to start the day!" she says. "I then start my morning beauty ritual—which involves curling my lashes every morning without fail and applying SPF, a light concealer and maybe bronzer—I like to keep it supernatural. I then wash my hair and let it dry naturally or if I have time I'll go over it with a curler to give it a slight bend and comb it through for that beachy wave look."

Whitesell enjoys mixing up her workouts. "I work with Fluidform [Pilates] and have been doing it at home now for some time," she says. "[Kirsten King's] whole philosophy as a Pilates teacher is about poise and lengthening. I switch it up with going to the gym and listening to hip-hop while running on the treadmill or on the step machine."

Whitesell doesn't obsess about her age. "Age has never been something I felt I identified with," she says. "I've lived a life that called for great maturity and responsibility at a young age, and also one that calls for me to race my sons on our skateboards down our street to get ice cream. I'm more focused on how I'm feeling, how my physical and mental health are tracking, and I'm always trying to make sure that I'm doing all of the things I love, with the people I love. I don't think 'age' is relevant to how we live our lives. I think it all comes down to experience and connection."
