Summer is officially here, and Connelly decided to celebrate by posting a black-and-white photo standing on a boat in the ocean. In the snap, Connelly stuns in a black two-piece bikini. “Happy first day of summer ☀️,” Connelly captioned the photo.

The actress knows how to strike a pose with her Top Gun-style salute. In the shot, she looks away from the camera, smirking, with her hand on her forehead.

Fans couldn’t get enough of Connelly’s stunning photo. “Captain Penny⛵️?,” one fan wrote underneath the post. “Hotter than summer?,” another chimed in. “Most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen! ✨,” another commented.

While Connelly’s post is the first bikini photo shared to her feed in nearly a year, the star did share a few throwback swimsuit photos with her fans not too long ago. The photos she shared are from a 2007 photoshoot with Vogue, all taken out on the open water.

Tan lines aren't in Sofia Vergara's future

The 50-year-old "America's Got Talent" judge welcomed her millions of social media followers into her world – if only for a moment – with a few snaps from her relaxing day under the sun.

Sofia Vergara lounged by the pool, wearing a pair of cheeky black thong bikini bottoms.

The "Modern Family" star wrapped up in the colorful sarong before sprawling out across a lounger in another photo posted on her Instagram Stories.

Her caramel-colored hair cascaded down across her shoulders as she wore a simple gold necklace in the selfies snapped for her fans.

Vergara will celebrate her 51st birthday on July 10.

Sofía Margarita Vergara Vergara is a Colombian and American actress, model, and television personality. She rose to prominence while co-hosting two television shows for Spanish-language television network Univision in the late 1990s. Her first notable acting job in English was in the film Chasing Papi(2003). She subsequently appeared in Four Brothers(2005) and Tyler Perry's comedies Meet the Browns(2008) and Madea Goes to Jail (2009), receiving an ALMA Award nomination for the latter.

Vergara has appeared in other films including New Year's Eve (2011), The Three Stooges (2012), Machete Kills (2013), Fading Gigolo (2013), Chef (2014), and Hot Pursuit (2015).

Sakshi Chopra is enjoying some time by the pool

Sakshi Chopra is enjoying some time by the pool. Chopra shared a reel of herself walking in slow motion next to the water, wearing a lacy black bikini. "Angel energy?? #backtoblack," she captioned the post.

Chopra enjoys drinking coffee for energy and health benefits. "More than 30 million Americans have type 2 diabetes, a disease marked by blood glucose (sugar) levels that are too high," says UCLA Health. "But according to a recent review of 30 studies, you can decrease your risk of type 2 diabetes by drinking coffee (caffeinated or decaffeinated) every day."

Chopra emphasizes the mental health benefits of being present in the moment. "It's very important to be present in the moment and also to be open to new opportunities that display themselves in the process of working and practicing," she says. "Lately, I've been promoting brands and modeling as I also have a passion for style and fashion. I truly believe that a person's stylistic choices reflect who they are."

Chopra believes in the power of hard work and discipline. "If you really, really want something very badly, you can't wait around," she says. "You will have to do the manual work to acquire it. Like a video game, small tasks everyday to complete the full mission."

Chopra doesn't believe in fitting in with everyone else. "I think women should be allowed to dress how they want," she says. "It is stupid to judge each other just on the basis of one piece of cloth. My mom did ask me why I am putting such pictures, but when I told her to let me be, she respected what I am."

Chopra believes in the importance of self-expression and authenticity. "My existence is my consciousness, my body is an instrument through which my consciousness experiences life," she says. "The body to me is a vessel we occupy at this time & I choose to be as I arrived on this earth, as I shall leave. It's an expression & it's all momentary. My music, these images, this will all become part of that which I'll leave behind once this journey's over. People get so disturbed by nakedness, it's all part of the experience, it's natural. Someday, generations later thanks to social media my great-great-great-grandkids will see my free spirit. what a world"

Gabrielle Union Soaked Up the Sun on a Miami Beach

Gabrielle Union's caught some rays at Miami Beach between press events for her new BET+ docuseries, Gabrielle Union: My Journey to 50.

Union is known for having very good swimwear so the white two-piece swimsuit, which features a one-shoulder top and an asymmetric keyhole cutout, is yet another standout bikini to add to the collection. Possibly even more eye-catching than the bright white suit was Union's butt-length wavy party ponytail. Union accessorized with oversized brown aviator sunglasses to add one more element of cool-girl energy.

Later in the day, Union changed out of her beach gear and slipped into a sleek Pride-approved black gown with green, yellow, and red panels of fabric along the sleeve, neckline, and thigh-high leg slit. Union continued to rock her curly high ponytail as she accessorized with white-and-gold chunky earrings. For glam, Union opted for dramatic lashes and '90s-inspired brown-lined glossy lips.

The new series follows the actress during her and her husband Dwyane Wade's travels across Africa, where she meets new people and learns about different cultures. "I've always had a lifelong thirst for knowledge.

Connecting with the birthplace of civilization and my own ancestry helped me inch closer to my true self," Union said when announcing the show. "There was no other place I wanted to spend my 50th birthday. It was an experience I'll never forget, and I'm excited for audiences to join me on the journey."

Olivia Dunne is a woman of many talents including surfing

Olivia Dunne, the gymnast and influencer shows off her incredible body in one of her latest social media posts while vacationing in Capri. "Ms. Worldwide," she captioned the Instagram post.

Olivia heads to Starbucks every day. Her order? A vanilla latte with oat milk. 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.

Olivia loves social media. "I don't feel too much pressure, because doing social media is always something that I've loved, and I've always taken it pretty seriously," she told The New York Post. "At times, I can get overwhelmed with how busy things are, but I don't feel pressure on a day-to-day basis."

Olivia surfs. "Totally tubular," she captioned Instagram photos of herself surfing in Hawaii. 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.

Olivia plays tennis. "Serving looks," she captioned a post from the tennis court. According to ACE Fitness it blends together cardio and aerobic exercise, as there is a lot of running around, and hand-eye coordination. "While tennis provides numerous health benefits—improved aerobic fitness and anaerobic endurance, muscular fitness (grip strength and endurance), flexibility, multiple skill parameters (balance, speed, agility and quickness), reactivity, and power—it also is psychologically demanding," they say.

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

Holly Ramsay shared some new photos

Holly Ramsay is the daughter of chef and TV host, Gordon Ramsay. She is also the host of her own podcast, 21 & Over with Holly Ramsay, and has a large following on Instagram. This week, she shared some new photos of herself spending time outside. In the first photo, Ramsay is seen sitting by a pool in a black swimsuit. She captioned the post, "This week's camera roll."

In an episode of her podcast, Ramsay talked about how she has started to take care of her mental health. "I have three diagnoses and I've been hospitalized," she explained. "So I'm just trying to navigate a different path that isn't spoken about at all. Not many people I know have dropped out of university. Not many people didn't do that well in school compared to their siblings. So it's very much a journey. It's kind of navigating your own way through it."

On her podcast, Ramsay talked about how her family has helped her with her mental health and her struggles. "My family has been an amazing support," she said. "Having three siblings and now an extra one has been great. It's brought me closer to them in many ways and the same with my parents."

Ramsay wants to reduce the stigma around mental health. She said on her podcast that this is why she comes forward about her experience. "It's definitely a journey, but I hope by speaking out, I can help other people speak out or ask for help and even just talk to their friends and just and normalize the conversation around mental health."

Ramsay is sober, and opened up about this in an Instagram post. In the photo, she writes about her path to sobriety. "Today marks two years since I last had alcohol. Two years ago today I hit rock bottom, I was terrified. I certainly didn't think I'd be where I am today both physically and mentally. I've fought every day to get where I am today."

Ramsay loves to swim to stay in shape. She shares a bunch of posts on Instagram of herself in the water. Ramsay posted photos of herself in a pool, captioning it, "Pool party for 1." She also shared photos of herself at the beach in the Maldives. Ramsay captioned that post, "I'm back home now, but let's pretend I'm still here."

Jade Thirwall is heating up Jamaica

Jade Thirwall is heating up Jamaica in her swimsuit. The singer shows off her incredible body in a bathing suit in one of her latest social media posts, shared from her island vacation. "Swipe to the end for an exclusive of me as Gollum," she captioned the Instagram post with her millions of followers.

Jade is a fan of the workout buddy system. "What motivates me? I can't go [to the gym] by myself. One because I get embarrassed because I don't know how anything works, but two because it's really hard to motivate yourself. I go with my brother or my boyfriend because you want to be better than them – it gets competitive," she explained to Cosmopolitan.

Jade needs motivating tunes to exercise. On her workout playlist you will find "power anthems [and] Little Mix," she said. "I listen to Scooter and Cascada, it gets you proper pumped. It really makes you wanna move."

Jade's life is incredibly busy but she makes time for self-care. "Took a much needed 'millennial pause,'" she captioned a recent post from a spiritual getaway.

Jade has a rather unconventional method of motivating herself to exercise. "I shout names at myself. I'll be like 'Jessica Alba', 'J-Lo'.. If you say the names, it motivates you because that's who you want to look like," she told Cosmo.

Jade maintains that self-love is the ultimate key to health, explaining her theory in an interview discussing her eating disroder to BBC. "It got to the point when I knew I needed someone else to tell, harboring a horrible secret like that is obviously really damaging to your mental health and obviously my physical health," she said. She eventually told someone she thought she had a problem. "It was like a weight had been lifted off my shoulders. The minute I started to actually talk to people about it, was the minute I started to get better," she continued. "I don't think I would ever do that to myself again." When talking to two teenagers in recovery from anorexia, she revealed the secret to recovery: "I just learned to love myself again."

Paige Spiranac flaunts her amazing figure

Paige Spiranac is showing off her patriotism – in her swimsuit. The pro golfer flaunts her amazing figure in an American flag-themed bathing suit in one of her latest social media posts. "US Open week! Thought this was a perfect picture to honor the week," she captioned the picture shared to her Instagram account.

Paige maintains that"exercise and eating healthy" help her mental health. "My mood is significantly better when I workout daily and make sure I meal prep for the week," she said on Instagram.

Paige is a fan of time-restricted eating. "I start eating at 11am and I end eating at 7pm," she dished during a What I Eat YouTube video. "I did it for three and a half weeks and I saw really good changes. I sleep better and my body feels better. It's fun to mix it up."

Paige tries to keep healthy eating as simple as possible. She keeps quick-preparation items like canned veggies, pre-cooked rice, and frozen burritos on hand. "I like things that are very easy," she said in her What I Eat video. "I think people are intimidated by healthy food because, one, it's expensive which is frustrating, but also it's time consuming to have fresh produce all the time and to make these health elaborate meals. I like to find hacks so I can make something that is healthy and also doesn't take a couple of hours."

Paige indulges in cheat meals. Her go-to indulgence? "Definitely a hot dog. There is nothing better than a golf course hot dog. I can only eat my hot dogs with ketchup," she revealed on her Playing A Round podcast. She also has a massive sweet tooth and loves ice cream and lemon bars.

Paige stays away from booze. "I don't drink alcohol pretty much at all," she said, revealing that she stopped drinking her senior year of college. "I hate being hungover. I don't like the feeling of it. I'm never really interested in drinking anymore," she admitted. "I think it's bettered my life. If you are ever struggling with your weight or mental health just try and cut alcohol out. It really helped me."

Shay Mitchell shows off her incredible body

Shay Mitchell is soaking up the sun – in her swimsuit. The actress and luggage entrepreneur shows off her incredible body in a flirty bathing suit in one of her latest social media photos. "What a difference a week can make," she captioned the Instagram post. "Okay but that bod + 2 kids … HOW??" commented one of her followers.

Shay drinks her first meal of the day. "I'm not a breakfast person, so for me, it's usually my coffee-protein shake — an odd concoction of cold brew, ice, two scoops of protein, and a handful of spinach. Some days, I'll start with celery juice or tea and water with lemon," she recently dished to The Cut.

Shay loves exercising and recently started weightlifting. "I love working out and look forward to the gym. Since having kids, I've started getting into weights. It's invigorating to lift heavier than before. I'm an Aries — we're very competitive with ourselves and other people," she told the publication.

Shay does a lot of glute work. "These days, I love doing anything for the bum. On TikTok, I'm seeing all these girls with the little scrunch pants, and I bought a pair for myself and … it didn't do anything. That's how I knew it was still time to build a bum," she told The Cut.

Shay doesn't let the haters get to her, as she has been working on hr issues for years with the help of a professional. "If you're just being negative to be negative, that never has any effect on me, because I know that those people are hurting themselves. I had that experience being in high school. I've been bullied. I've gone through that, and I've had enough therapists to tell me it has nothing to do with me. So at this point, being in my mid-30s, anything just negative to be negative will never affect me. I can promise you that," she told The Cut.

Shay practices sleep hygiene. "Before I go to bed, I'll have sleep tea or something like that, because it's sometimes difficult for me to turn off my mind," she told The Cut.

Brenda Zambrano is enjoying the beautiful beaches in Oaxaca, Mexico

Mexican model and Acapulco Shore star Brenda Zambrano is enjoying the beautiful beaches at the Samora Luxury Resort in Oaxaca, Mexico. Zambrano, 29, posted pictures of herself posing in the sand in a lime-green bikini top and red bottoms, playing with her sweet pup. "Sunset ☀️," she captioned the snaps.

Zambrano uses her treadmill for easy, convenient cardio sessions. "Running lowers your blood pressure and cholesterol levels," according to Bronson Health. "Running 30 minutes a few times per week helps reduce low density lipoprotein (LDL), the 'bad' type of cholesterol and increases the high density lipoprotein (HDL), the 'good' type of cholesterol. High blood pressure also becomes normalized through consistent physical activity."

Zambrano loves spending time with her pup. "The faster, farther and more frequently you walk, the greater the benefits," says the Mayo Clinic. "This can be a great way to get aerobic activity, improve your heart health and increase your endurance while burning calories."

Zambrano rides a bicycle for fresh air and fun. "This is an activity that makes your heart beat faster – decreasing blood pressure and lowering your resting heart rate," according to Nebraska Methodist Health System. "You are able to get the same cardiovascular rewards from cycling as you would get from walking, running or dancing."

Zambrano enjoys group functional training sessions. "Functional fitness exercises train your muscles to work together and prepare them for daily tasks by simulating common movements you might do at home, at work or in sports," says the Mayo Clinic. "While using various muscles in the upper and lower body at the same time, functional fitness exercises also emphasize core stability."

Zambrano uses weight training exercises to build muscle and support bone health. "If you're at risk of thinning bones, or if you just want to preserve your bone health for the long haul, weight-bearing exercise should be the cornerstone of your preventive efforts," says Ryan Desgrange, PA. "Building bone mineral density is like making deposits into the bank up until about age 30. Your body is constantly rebuilding and remodeling. After that, the process becomes less efficient."

Monica McNutt shows off her incredible figure

Monica McNutt is heating up Miami in her swimsuit. The ESPN basketball analyst shows off her incredible figure in a bathing suit in one of her latest social media posts. "I love my friends," she captioned the Instagram post. "Break the internet then," commented one of her followers.

"The only [routine] thing I try to be mindful to create for myself is at least one day off a week— completely off," Monica told XONecole. "I'm very mindful of that self-care time, which is a dope bath, with Epsom salts, candles, music. The nature of the beast is keeping up—whether it's a game broadcast or a studio broadcast or the podcast. It's important to take that time to recharge."

"I go to the gym regularly," Monica added to the publications. "I travel with gym clothes, and even if I [only] have 20 minutes, I'm going to get that 20 minutes to get some sweat in. As I've gotten older, I start to feel wired and almost anxious. Working out is hugely important to me."

Monica's "intimate circle" is "hugely important" to her. "I kind of argue with them sometimes as to whether I'm an introvert. I don't know! I just draw a lot of energy from solo time. The nature of my career path is to have on the 'on' switch. I don't know if people realize the energy that requires, so when I get to spend time with my man or my friends and do nothing, I relish the opportunity to do nothing. When my time is free, I'm doing nothing, on purpose," she told the publication.

Monica enjoys working out with kettlebells. She even works out at Harlem Kettlebell Club – a fitness studio specializing in the weights. "I'm big on Wellness & know that looks different for everybody. Personally a good gym session is part of my wellness equation but that doesn't mean you always love it in midst of it. S/o to @saneetarenee for helping me work off the week on Friday. Make time to take care of yourself, y'all. Be good to you," she captioned a recent post of her kettlebell workout.

Monica also plays basketball. "Basketball promotes speed, agility, strength, power and endurance. It [has] also been shown to increase flexibility and motor coordination. As a result, basketball is uniquely oriented to improve fundamental motor skills that are shown to be beneficial in promoting general health," Koco Eaton, M.D., orthopedic surgeon, founder of Eaton Orthopaedics and a former basketball player, tells Nike.

Larissa Trownson enjoyed a dip in a pool

Larissa Trownson is best known for her appearance on the hit Netflix series, Too Hot To Handle. She's also a practicing lawyer, and has a strong following on social media. Trownson shares a bunch of gorgeous photos on Instagram. In a recent post, she enjoyed a dip in a pool. Trownson captioned the post, "Sorry can't talk right now, I'm busy (being an icon)."

Trownson, as you can tell from her recent post, loves to spend time in the water. She likes to swim to keep herself in shape. Trownson shares a lot of other posts on Instagram of herself in the water. She shared photos of herself in a pool in Turkey, captioning it, "If angels don't exist, how do u explain me." Trownson also posted a photo of herself swimming in Vanuatu's Crystal Blue Lagoon. She captioned the post, "Could stop posting bikini pics but I'm not a quitter."

Trownson opened up about her decision to leave Too Hot To Handle in an interview with MailOnline. "I kind of had a moment of reflection," she says. "And with Nathan falling apart I kind of realised that I learned a lot about myself and what I want, what I'm feeling with someone and my emotions and what I need. So, I felt like I learned a lot and my journey had ended, there was nothing else I was going to learn at that point."

Trownson is open about having plastic surgery done. She explained why she is so honest about this in particular in an interview with Daily Mail Australia. "I think it's really important that we're transparent about work we've had done, otherwise that helps portray unreal beauty standards especially for younger women. So I've always been upfront about it and I chose to have it, so I'm proud of it."

Trownson balances both life as a reality star and a lawyer. In an interview with Daily Mail, Trownson opened up about wanting to break stereotypes people might have of her and other women like her. "That's part of the reason why I went on Too Hot to Handle, I want to show people, I can look the way I do and have a successful job. Long term, I want to be able to break the stereotype that I can be a lawyer and look this way."

Trownson revealed in an Instagram post that she is taking pole dance lessons. LifeHack.org reports that this has a lot of health benefits. "Most people in the modern world could stand to lose about 10 pounds of fat, so any form of exercise is welcome.

However, pole dancing taxes the muscles in the entire body and you are always moving – making it a great isometric and cardiovascular exercise wrapped into one. You can burn as many calories in a 30-minute session as you would doing aerobics and calisthenics, and this will lead to significant weight loss over several months."

Paula Echevarría shows off her incredible body by the pool

Paula Echevarría is feeling wild in her swimsuit. The Spanish model shows off her incredible body in a bathing suit in one of her latest social media posts. "Wild life," she captioned the series of Instagram snaps.

In order to lose her baby weight, Paula invested in a trainer and nutritionist. "I have dieted and exercised, because I gained 25 kilos. But I have recovered quickly, because I have seen myself so tremendous that I had to put my batteries together. I had to take it seriously. If you expect time to heal everything, no It's going to happen. So, I've been doing a diet that a doctor has recommended to me and I'm also doing my treatments and doing sports," she revealed in an interview. "The truth is that I'm very well. Life begins at 40, in my case they can't summarize it better."

Paula also revealed that she drinks her breakfast. Instead of food she sips on a nutrient dense smoothie, made out of cucumber, lemon, celery, kiwi, and ginger.

In a recent post Paula revealed why she does pelvic floor exercises one day per week. "Pelvic floor muscles contract and relax at the same time as other muscle groups, such as the diaphragm or abdominal muscles," she wrote. So with this type of training, combining breathing and hypotensives, we can gain a lot of strength and resistance in the pelvic floor," she continued. "For what?? Well, because it is the one responsible for holding the pelvic organs (bladder, urethra, uterus, vagina and rectum) and while working, it tones and gives more elasticity to the muscles of the area. this prevents that in the future we may have problems like the dreaded "escapes".. besides that it improves the quality of sex.. and many other things you can search on any page that talks about it.. So you understand me, sometimes we care too much about the outside and not so much about the inside.. and taking care of our pelvic floor is essential..And yes, and it also shows on the outside, the waist shrinks."

Paula's go-to workout? Ballet. "No matter when it is.. But when something comes into your life that you like and makes you feel good, keep it! Evidently I don't do ballet (@balletfitoficial) to become a dancer but y'all don't know how happy this makes me! And not just because of the physical changes, but because of what motivates me and amuses me (although I suffer more than with any other discipline I've tried)," she wrote in a post.

Paula regularly walks on the treadmill. 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.

Ester Expósito is resting and relaxing on vacation in Mexico

Spanish actress and model Ester Expósito is resting and relaxing on vacation in Mexico. Expósito, 23, shared pictures of her getaway, including one of herself lying in a hammock in a string bathing suit. She also posted another of herself enjoying ice cream. "Elote ice cream is the best thing that ever happened to me," she captioned the post.

Expósito enjoys strawberries with yogurt for a healthy, protein-packed breakfast. "Yogurt helps maintain the billions of good bacteria you need for a healthy digestive and immune system," say the experts at Johns Hopkins Medicine. "Plus, the bacteria in yogurt help the body break down and absorb critical nutrients."

Expósito works out with personal trainer Miguel Lordán several times a week. "Every day we do different exercises so that the muscles don't get used to it, but we work on the entire lower body, legs and glutes; abdomen a lot and arms only from time to time," she says. "We change the routine, sometimes we work with weights, going up and down stairs, we do exercises with resistance bands, with TRX, abs, planks… I train three days a week, and I never miss it, since I started with Miguel I never skip my workouts."

Expósito enjoys protein—usually fish—for a healthy, light yet nutritious dinner. "Fish is filled with omega-3 fatty acids and vitamins such as D and B2 (riboflavin)," says the Washington State Department of Health. "Fish is rich in calcium and phosphorus and a great source of minerals, such as iron, zinc, iodine, magnesium, and potassium."

Expósito's approach to diet is to focus on the foods which make her feel strong and energized. "I don't follow a diet, but I do have some tips to eat foods that help me strengthen: tuna, red meat, rice, pasta," she says. "Bananas and avocado are very good. I make smoothies. I pay a lot of attention to my diet, but I don't have a plan, I know the things that are good for my muscles. I talked about it with Miguel, my coach, when we started working out and then I incorporated it into my meals."

Expósito is diligent about cleaning and moisturizing her face every day. "When I wake up I always wash my face, and if I'm going to wear makeup that day I hydrate it a lot," she says. "Every night I hydrate it too. I don't take much care of my hair, but I try to avoid applying heat on it if it's not necessary, and sometimes I apply hydrating masks to stay all night and wash it the next day."

Alison Brie shows off her incredible body

Alison Brie is having fun in her swimsuit. The Glow star shows off her incredible body in a teal bathing suit in some of her latest social media posts."New album dropping soon," she captioned one of the Instagram Stories.

Alison used to do a lot of cardio but switched things up to get in shape for Glow. "I really wanted to gain strength and muscle mass, so the first thing I did was cut out most of my cardio," Alison told Well + Good."Alison received enough conditioning from the work we were doing with weights," her trainer, Jason Walsh, added.

Alison maintains that lifting weights has helped her achieve her best body ever and has also given her self-confidence. "Heavy lifting is so empowering — you really feel like a badass," she said. "By the time we were shooting the show, I was deadlifting 165 pounds, hip thrusting up to 300 pounds, and doing multiple sets of 10 pull-ups."

Alison is incredibly outdoorsy and loves hiking. "Don't question the hiking attire," she captioned a post. "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.

Alison maintains she is "eating constantly" fueling her training session with protein, veggies, and good fats, her trainer told Well + Good. "A lot of women, especially in my profession, feel like they have to starve themselves to lose weight," she explained. "I've certainly felt that way in the past. But while training for the show, I was eating more than ever and I've never felt better."

Lucinda Strafford is enjoying a sun kissed vacation in Ibiza

Lucinda Strafford is enjoying a sun kissed vacation in Ibiza, Spain. The Love Island star shared pictures of herself posing in a silver bathing suit next to sun loungers and cabanas, wearing her hair loose. "A bikini type of life ?✨?," she captioned the post.

Strafford enjoys coffee every day, either hot or iced. Coffee is known to offer a variety of health benefits if consumed in the right amount. "I like an iced soy caramel latte, that's my boring order or a soy white mocha, that's my hot drink," she says.

Strafford believes in the power of positive thought. "I definitely need to get more into it, but you know what, even the Love Island application process, I feel like I manifested that, like it was meant to happen," she says. "Even with creating my business, I had no experience with it at all, but I just did it. It's not in a cocky way, it's just putting it out into the universe."

Strafford keeps her skincare routine simple yet effective. Instead of a lengthy routine, Stafford goes for a more less-is-more approach. "I'm not massive on skincare, but I use the Clinique Take The Day Off Balm (£22) to take off my make-up and then will use a toner and a moisturizer," she says.

Strafford enjoys the mental and physical benefits from taking a day for self-care and relaxation. "I do love a bath as well and shopping for bath bombs," she says. "My favorite thing ever is just getting in a nice fresh robe, washing my hair and putting a hair mask on, I love all of that."

Senada Greca shared pictures posing and highlighted her enviably strong physique

Celebrity trainer and fitness influencer Senada Greca is incredibly generous about sharing information regarding health and wellness through her social media. Greca shared an Instagram reel of herself posing in a green swimsuit that highlighted her enviably strong physique, letting fans know the typical diet she enjoys on a daily basis.

"Traveling and living in hotel rooms can challenge your dedication to a healthy lifestyle when it comes to nutrition and working out. But, where there's a will, there's always a way," she captioned the post.

Greca starts the day with three scrambled eggs, turkey bacon, a croissant, and mixed greens. "You might have noticed that eating eggs for breakfast may keep you feeling fuller for longer — that's generally attributed to the high protein content in eggs," say the experts at Keck Medicine of USC. "Whether you have an omelet for breakfast or a hard-boiled egg as a snack, eggs can help you stay satisfied after or between meals."

Greca enjoys a burrito bowl for lunch, packed with healthy protein, rice, and salad. While white rice has folic acid, brown rice has more fiber. "Hands down, brown rice brings more to the table," says registered dietitian Beth Czerwony, RD. "Brown rice will also keep you feeling full longer, which helps when you're watching how much you eat."

Dinner for Greca is usually more lean protein in the shape of a delicious turkey burger. She also enjoys a beet yogurt bowl for dessert. "Ground turkey contains less saturated fat than ground beef, giving it a more beneficial fat profile," says Amanda Beaver, a wellness dietitian at Houston Methodist. "In its place, ground turkey instead contains more polyunsaturated fat, which is a protective, healthier type of fat."

Greca makes a point of not being overly strict when it comes to food. "My ideology is to never restrict or completely eliminate things that I enjoy, but rather adjust portions or modify," she says. "This is important especially when starting out in creating better, healthier habits. I've found that an all or nothing approach does not work for most, it can feel very restrictive and this can create a yoyo effect, a binge and starve cycle."

Greca believes a healthy lifestyle is something that should be a long term goal—something that is sustainable and enjoyable. "When you allow for the 'unhealthy' foods in small amounts, and replace most of your food portions with healthier choices, a healthier life becomes more sustainable," she says. "And eventually you will gravitate away from less healthy food choices to healthier ones."

Olivia Attwood is enjoying a sun-soaked trip to Dubai

Love Island star Olivia Attwood is enjoying a sun-soaked trip to Dubai, UAE. Attwood, 32, shared pictures of her trip, including a selfie where she's posing in a black bikini top and matching sarong. "Everything," she captioned the snap, including a shout-out to Monday Swimwear.

Attwood loves going to the gym, much preferring it to outdoor cardio. "I'd much rather hit the gym than go for a run, so to get ready for summer I make sure I go to the gym and get loads of squats done," she says. "Squats are the secret! Also, because I don't like hitting the beach with pale skin, I try to build up a base tan in the garden and often get a spray tan before heading off somewhere sunny."

Attwood enjoys a healthy, balanced diet supported by supplements. "I'm quite big on my homeopathic medicines and vitamins, I spend probably a small fortune on them every month which I guess is quite extra," she says. "My mum is really into all that and she's kind of instilled it into me, I eat a very natural and clean diet."

Attwood enjoys spending time in the kitchen, whipping up healthy meals with fresh ingredients. "I make a mean roast dinner and I have an amazing recipe for fish cakes, which I make from scratch," she says. "The fish cakes are my go-to dish for when I have mates over for dinner."

Attwood loves spa sessions on what she calls Self-Care Sundays. "I'm a proper bath girl, I love a bath," she says. "So I would do a bath and then scrub off all my old fake tan and reapply. For me, fake tan is just a non-negotiable for self-care… I need to be tanned! Amanda Harrington is my favorite at the minute, I love the face mist (£28) and it's such a good tan, it doesn't give you any spots or block your pores or anything. I also love a face mask, I love Rodial face masks. they've got a Vitamin C mask sheet (£14), which is so nice."

Attwood enjoys low-sugar wine, which experts say should be enjoyed in moderation. "You can't beat a chilled glass of rosé in the summer, but Pinot Grigio is typically my go-to drink – whether I'm chilling in the sunshine or enjoying a night out with the girls," she says. "My current fave is the I Heart Pinot Grigio from I Heart Wines. If I fancy a cocktail, I tend to go for something light and refreshing, like an Aperol Spritz. I make it with Aperol, soda, I Heart Prosecco and lots of ice."

Jen Selter is enjoying her trip to the Dead Sea

Fitness model and influencer Jen Selter is on a long-awaited trip to the Dead Sea. Selter, 29, shared pictures of herself floating in the water and posing on the beach in a hot pink bathing suit. "The only time to be salty ? Bucket list ✅ Dead Sea in Israel," she captioned the post.

Selter never skips breakfast. "Regardless if I am in serious exercise mode or not; eating healthy is always a part of my daily routine," she says. "A typical day for me starts with either oatmeal, or egg whites and toast for breakfast. I truly believe breakfast is the most important meal. It provides the energy I need to keep me going for hours and keep me as productive as possible! For lunch, I usually will have a salad with tons of veggies. The more colorful the salad, the better!"

Selter enjoys protein-packed dinners with dark chocolate for dessert. "In between lunch and dinner I always have a protein bar; it's the easiest snack to refuel with and the easiest to have when on the go," she says. "Dinners are always different. I will have anything from a nice pasta dish, grilled chicken and veggies, a nice steak — or of course, my absolute favorite, sushi! In terms of dessert, dark chocolate is definitely my go-to."

Selter does a combination of cardio and strength exercises five times a week. "Results don't happen overnight," she says. "But they do happen with hard work, dedication and keeping consistent. Stay consistent with your workouts and never stop trying. I like to separate my training into leg day, upper body, core and cardio. I always work out for an hour."

Selter is strict about avoiding alcohol as part of her diet, and isn't interested in nightlife and drinking culture. "I know I should be going out and networking," she says. "But I'd rather stay at home and watch Netflix."

Selter says there are no short-cuts to getting her enviable glutes. "Consistency leads to results," she says. "Diet is also important. I eat every few hours to keep my metabolism running and I try to stay away from overly processed foods. Lots of lean meat, vegetables and fresh fruit. Fitness is a lifestyle. You must be mentally prepared to commit to it and be consistent with your health and fitness lifestyle in order to see results and as we know results don't happen overnight."

Adrienne Bailon is enjoying the crystal clear waters and beautiful skies of Ibiza

Singer and TV star Adrienne Bailon is enjoying the crystal clear waters and beautiful skies of Ibiza, Spain. Bailon, 39, shared pictures of herself on vacation, lounging on a luxurious yacht in a black one-piece swimsuit. "I need a tan," she captioned the post.

Bailon starts the day with oatmeal, avocado toast, or a protein shake. "For lunch, I would eat huge salads, again with avocado," she says. "My favorite green is arugula, it tastes delicious. I would chop up peppers and literally just make myself this huge, hearty salad. Another thing I would have in between as a snack — I love nuts, I still love popcorn, so I would still eat popcorn."

Bailon's dinner usually consists of healthy legumes such as beans and lentils. "I would make myself vegan chili, like a huge pot of beans," she says. "I love lentil soup… lentil soup blesses my soul. I would do soup and a bunch of roasted mushrooms. I love sautéed kale, steamed broccoli, but I felt so good about myself because I was like, 'I am filling myself with such good nutritional food.'"

Trainer Massy Arias got Bailon ready for her wedding to Israel Houghton. "She works out with me three to four times a week then she does homework that I give her at home so five days a week total," Arias said. "90 minutes total per day. 30 minutes of cardio on her own in the morning and then one hour with me. That hour was maximized because our training would be divided into circuits and there was no resting time or breaks in between."

Bailon avoids alcohol as it leads to unhealthy food choices. "I am not only suddenly the Tasmanian devil when it comes to food, but I am, like, coming up with inventive ideas," she says. "'Let's leave here and go to Jack in the Box. From Jack in the Box, let's go to Taco Bell.' So, alcohol does actually expand your stomach, and two, it actually wreaks havoc on my vocal cords as well."

Bailon has a fitness mantra she lives by—and it's all about self-acceptance. "I'm constantly reminding myself that the greatest form of self love – is self discipline," she says. "They say it takes 21 days to form a new habit… I just want to encourage you to take this time to develop healthy habits! Drink your water, squat, rest, read, pray, take your vitamins, eat your veggies!"
