Molly Rainford, the Britain's Got Talent and Strictly Come Dancing alum shows off her amazing body in a bathing suit in one of her latest social media posts while on the water with Tyler West. "Alexa play On A Beach – Champion remix," she captioned the Instagram snaps.
Molly maintains that after doing Strictly Come Dancing she "noticed a change" in her body. "I'm the fittest I've ever been," she told Daily Star. "People have been saying, 'You've got abs now, Molly'. It's one of the perks of doing Strictly. And I've not just grown physically, I've grown mentally as well. I'm finding new confidence."
Molly emphasizes the importance of recovery. "After doing the jive in Blackpool, my legs felt quite bruised. I thought, 'I'm starting to feel the aches and pains'. My legs need a rest, my back needs a rest. There is a physio there to help us every week. I look forward to it. Physio is good," she told Daily Star.
Molly enjoys going for regular walks. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.
Molly's drink of choice? Wine. "Red wine, in moderation, has long been thought of as heart healthy," says the Mayo Clinic. "The alcohol and certain substances in red wine called antioxidants may help prevent coronary artery disease, the condition that leads to heart attacks." While red wine is slightly healthier than white, the lighter shade of vino generally has fewer calories than the darker shade.
Molly explained to BBC One that she tries not to be so hard on herself. "I can be a perfectionist. So trying not to stress too much about one specific thing, and worry about the overall product. I've heard from others that simplicity is key."

Model Lucciana Beynon is getting ready to celebrate her birthday—but work comes first for the daughter of Travers Beynon and Ninibeth Leal. Beynon, who turns 22 on July 9, shared a picture of herself posing backstage in a makeup chair, wearing a black and gold one-piece bikini. "Next show," she wrote on her selfie.
Beynon loves boxing workouts with a personal trainer at the gym. "Boxing is an excellent way to improve your cardiovascular endurance," says the American Sports & Fitness Association. "During a boxing workout, you will use your whole body to throw punches and execute combinations. As a result, your heart rate will be elevated for the duration of the workout. Not only that, but due to the intensity of the workout, you'll burn more calories than other forms of exercise."
Beynon is a big fan of using the StairMaster machine for convenient cardio that's gentle on the joints. "Climbing stairs is one of the best ways to burn calories in a short amount of time," says Todd Buckingham, PhD. "Plus, the StairMaster is great for building your leg muscles, particularly your glutes, hamstrings and quads."
Beynon uses weights and dumbbells to build muscle and tone up. "You don't need to spend hours a day lifting weights to benefit from strength training. You can see significant improvement in your strength with just two or three 20- or 30-minute strength training sessions a week," says the Mayo Clinic. "As your muscle mass increases, you'll likely be able to lift weight more easily and for longer periods of time. If you keep it up, you can continue to increase your strength, even if you're not in shape when you begin."
Beynon's social media highlights just how much she enjoys dancing—which research shows has incredible health benefits. "For rhythmic dances, such as the foxtrot or waltz, a 160-pound person will burn an estimated 130 calories in 30 minutes," says Jessica Matthews, MS. "For more intense styles of dance such as the salsa, the number of calories burned doubles to approximately 250 calories in 30 minutes, which is comparable to performing a light jog for the same duration."
Beynon loves swimming outdoors, whether it's in the ocean or in a pool. "Research shows us that being in or next to water reduces our blood pressure, slows our breathing down and allows our parasympathetic nervous system to do its job," says Catherine Kelly, PhD. "This is our 'rest, repair and repose' system and is vital for effective brain function and a strong immune system. Water encourages us to relax, in other words."

Lottie Tomlinson is white hot in her swimsuit. The Tanologist founder and sister of One Direction star Louis Tomlinson flaunts her fit figure in a white bathing suit in her latest mirror selfie, sending her followers into a major frenzy. "Your body girl," wrote one. "Beautiful," added another.
"I think when I'm healthy and fit, I feel really confident in myself. It makes me feel like the best version of myself," Lottie told The Daily Mail. "Your mind is clearer, your skin is clearer and you just have so much more energy. It's a good base for everything else in life to just flow."
Lottie loves sushi. She "could eat this for breakfast lunch and dinner," she wrote about a plate of sushi. Burgers, fried chicken sandwiches, cheese-covered french fries, oysters, and alcoholic beverages are just a few of the dietary splurges Lottie has shared via her Instagram account.
Lottie fights for her hot body. The influencer is a big fan of boxing for fitness. She even takes group classes. "little box this morning with @myprotein @blok ? #empowermentweek #strongertogether," she captioned this series of snaps. 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.
Lottie is a fan of tennis. "I got the best teacher," she captioned a photo of herself, on the court with her boyfriend, model and former professional tennis player Lewis Burton. 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.
Lottie turned to therapy to help her get through the dark time after the death of her mother to cancer and her sister to an accidental drug overdose. "I decided I was going to try therapy, and I'm so grateful for that decision. It has made such a difference to my life, and my grief has been a totally different experience," she told OK. "Therapy means I get an hour to sit and divulge all my feelings whenever I need to. It is my time to talk about my mum and sister. I feel a lot lighter after a session."

Lucila Sola is heating up Italy in her swimsuit. The former flame of Al Pacino and mother of Camila Morrone shows her ex-boyfriend what he is missing in one of her latest social media posts, flaunting her incredible figure in a bathing suit. "Italia!!!" she captioned the Instagram snap.
Lucila enjoys paddle boarding. "When your friends catch you scrubbing your spray tan off," she joked in a caption of herself double-tasking on the paddleboard. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and also a great form of cardio. The water sport can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140 pound male and 436 for a female the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.
Lucila stays fit on vacation by snorkling and swimming. 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.
Lucila enjoys hiking – especially with her daughter. "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.
Lucila loves to read. "Best way to start the New Year," she captioned this photo. 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.
Lucila is an avid skier. "Mommy and Me Ski," she captioned a photo of herself on a trip with Camila. 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.
Lucila's drink of choice? Wine. "Red wine, in moderation, has long been thought of as heart healthy," says the Mayo Clinic. "The alcohol and certain substances in red wine called antioxidants may help prevent coronary artery disease, the condition that leads to heart attacks." While red wine is slightly healthier than white, the lighter shade of vino generally has fewer calories than the darker shade.

Irina Shayk looks like a bronze goddess on a magical trip to Marrakesh, Morocco. Shayk, 37, shared some very dreamy pictures of her trip, including ones of her posing in a black bikini against a background of traditional red stone buildings. "Red city," she captioned the post. "Welcome to Morocco! ??❤️," commented the official Visit Morocco account.
Shayk is disciplined about her workouts. "I have good genes, which helps," she says. "But you have to be tough. I'm not a lazy person and I push myself. I go to the gym three or four times a week when I'm not traveling." Even when traveling Shayk makes sure to get some movement. "When you travel a lot, it's hard to exercise. When you feel tired you can just stretch at home," she says. "It really helps you to connect with your body and mind. When I am in New York I do Pilates reformer machines."
Shayk loves barre workouts and jiu-jitsu. "It's a Japanese self-defense discipline, but because there's so many possible move combinations, it's brilliant for constantly challenging my body and pushing it to exhaustion every time," she says. "I do it four times a week when I'm at home in New York, then if I'm traveling I try to work out in my hotel room or at work during breaks, focusing on simple barre moves that don't need any equipment and really work my arms and bum."
Shayk uses an infrared sauna as part of her wellness routine. "This is my new obsession," she says. "My friend introduced me to it. It heats you up from the inside. You get rid of toxins from the inside out. It makes you really sweat, but it's not workout sweat. I go once or twice a week when I'm in New York, and I feel like that's my workout because you can burn 600 calories. But I'm not going to lose 600 calories. When you go, your skin, everything, you feel better. You have to try it. You're going to be obsessed. I'm telling you right now."
Shayk refuses to follow any restrictive diets. "I drink a lot of water, but I don't do diets," she says. "People have this opinion of models that they don't eat – they'd soon stop thinking that if they saw me in a restaurant. I eat ice cream and cake, but it's a question of balance. If I eat something like that, I feel much better afterwards if I spend a few hours in the gym."
Shayk is passionate about Russian-style saunas, and facials that actually use technology to get results. "I do a Russian sauna at least once or twice a week," she says. "It's different because you get hit by a hot broom, and it opens your pores and cleans your skin. Then you jump in a cold plunge and the difference in temperature makes your skin tighter. It's a Russian ritual that I've been doing since I was a kid. And I don't believe in facials. I really don't… My latest obsession is in London called FaceGym. They have one in New York, I think. It's literally the best thing ever. The woman comes and does a workout for your face. When you leave, you really feel like your face is lifted."

Ola Jordan is living her best life on vacation – in her swimsuit. The dancer shows off her amazingly fit figure in a bathing suit in one of her latest social media posts, an Instagram Story of herself poolside.
Ola and her husband James are both professional dancers, so it inspired them to create a dance workout. They told The Sun they work out for 15 minutes, five time a week, using a blend of dance steps and classic fitness moves. "We spent our whole lives looking our best when we were dancing so we were like, 'Let's start dancing again'," James says. "There is no gym, no equipment and no stress. We put the plan together in our kitchen, which is only two meters square," says Ola. "It was so lovely to dance again, so this plan is devised using our favorite dance moves made simple and combined with functional exercises, all to music, so you are shredding pounds while having a blast. The exercise takes only 15 minutes a day. This was so important to me as a mum, that it was quick — and Ella can do it too."
Ola maintains a 1,500-calorie-per-day diet. For breakfast, she enjoys avocado on toast, with a skinny hot chocolate for a morning snack. For lunch, tuna and sweetcorn granary sandwich with one teaspoon of low-fat mayo. Dinner is a fish pie with lots of vegetables. For her evening snack she enjoys one glass of red or white wine, a small bag of potato chips, a handful of nuts, or chocolate rice cakes.
Ola loves sharing before and after photos, which help motivate her. "Gotta say we're a bit shocked ourselves at how different we look now! But shocked in a good way," she captioned a post. "It's the reason that original picture got posted – to give us the wake up call we needed to get our @$$'s in gear!"
Ola enjoys walking with her child. 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.
"I also wanted to lose weight to look after my health long term. I want to live as long as I can for my baby – anyone with kids will understand that. When I used to go out partying and drinking, I'd never think twice about the impact all the excess was having on my long-term health but now I do," she told Top Sante about her motivation to get fit.

Actress Elsa Pataky is thrilled to be back in her homeland of Spain, enjoying a magical vacation with husband Chris Hemsworth and their family. Pataky, 46, shared a reel of herself wearing a lime-green bathing suit as she and Hemsworth jumped into the ocean from a yacht. "España ?? …., you always make me feel happy!" she captioned the post.
Pataky started intermittent fasting after Hemsworth encouraged her to give it a try. "I was always like 'Hmmmm, I don't know!' and it's really hard, but then I started reading about it," she says. "Although, I was like 'I don't want to lose weight' – because it's a great way to lose weight, if you need to lose weight – but it won't you won't lose weight if your body doesn't need to. And I learnt that, doing it. But I read that it was amazing for anti-ageing, so I was like 'I'm in! I'm in!'. So he started it, and then I followed. But a lot of times, he starts something and I follow the exact opposite."
Pataky embraces the incredible benefits of working out with weights. "Weight training with yoga really works with my body," she says. "I work out with weights and the more and more I learn that I'm not scared of doing weights. I'm using more weight and more weight and more weight, and less repetitions to create that muscle. But stretching is such an important thing for the muscle – and in women it's what makes you get the shape, the beautiful shape. And I'm little! I'm 160cm – so yeah, being muscly doesn't go so good with that. But, yoga made a BIG difference to my body."
Pataky loves being active, especially when she gets to work out with Hemsworth. "I can't be without training for more than two weeks – I just get really nervous and my energy starts to go down," she says. "When you start working out and your body's changing and you're achieving your goals, that's such a great thing. So, I think that's the motivation [to exercise] – feeling better and just being happy with you and knowing that you're healthy. If you know you're taking care of your body and you're doing it for a reason, you can put aside the, 'I can't do it.'"
Pataky enjoys a plant-based Mediterranean diet. "For 80 per cent of the time, you choose healthy foods," she says. "But for special occasions – Christmas, holidays, parties – enjoy yourself. That's the other 20 per cent. In general, I try to make my 'cheat day' a weekend day, but if I am feeling really low mid-week because of something that's happened, I will give in to what my body asks for, whatever craving it is. Normally that is all I need, but I sometimes have a period where I'm feeling low for a few days, and that's when I take the pressure off myself."
Pataky is happy with the self-assurance that comes with age and experience. "It's the confidence that you have," she says. "From thirty-something onwards it's like 'I know what I want, I know what I don't want, and what is good for me'. And I feel confident about life. But then you start having wrinkles and it's like 'This is not fair!' But this is life…I would never go back to my twenties, I like this age. Like everybody says, your forties are like the new twenties and I feel like this is true."

The Real Housewives of New Jersey star Gia Giudice is having what looks like a beautiful summer with boyfriend Christian Carmichael. Giudice, 22, shared pictures from a recent beach trip with Carmichael, including shots of herself in a red and blue print bikini, posing on the sand with the real estate agent. "Summer with you??," she captioned the post.
Giudice loves seafood, especially sushi and shellfish such as crab and lobster (which are an excellent source of zinc). "Women of reproductive age are most likely moderately zinc-deficient due to menstruation and not eating the right foods," says Shannon L. Kelleher, PhD. "Symptoms of too little zinc include dry and itchy skin, loss of hair, reduced ability to taste food and a compromised immune system that leads to more colds."
Giudice will never turn down a slice of pizza, but experts say it can absolutely be a healthy choice. "The No. 1 best way to boost the nutritional value of your pizza is by cutting out processed meats, which are high in calories and unhealthy fats," says Julia Zumpano, RD, LD. "Most pizza shops offer a variety of choices for crusts and toppings that can help keep your pizza healthy and still delicious," says Fawziah Saleh, RDN, LD. "Don't be afraid to ask!"
Giudice loves to hike, especially when she's traveling to beautiful spots such as Malibu, Los Angeles. "Research shows that hiking has a positive impact on combating the symptoms of stress and anxiety," says Gregory A. Miller, PhD, president of the American Hiking Society. "Being in nature is ingrained in our DNA, and we sometimes forget that."
Giudice enjoys yoga sessions with mom Teresa Giudice. "One of the wonderful things about yoga is accepting yourself and your body just as you are today," says Dr. Corinna Keenmon, Houston Methodist's medical director of psychiatry and telepsychiatry. "This is the mindfulness aspect of yoga — simply appreciating your body for the things that it can do right now in the present moment."
Giudice enjoys regular family dinners with her mother and sisters. "There have been more than 20 years of dozens of studies that document that family dinners are great for the body, the physical health, the brains and academic performance, and the spirit or the mental health, and in terms of nutrition, cardiovascular health is better in teens," says family therapist Anne Fishel.""There's lower fat and sugar and salt in home cooked meals even if you don't try that hard, there's more fruit, and fiber, and vegetables, and protein in home cooked meals, and lower calories. Kids who grow up having family dinners, when they're on their own tend to eat more healthily and to have lower rates of obesity."

Megan Fox is getting in touch with nature via a photo shoot that highlights her feline physique to perfection. Fox, 37, shared pictures of herself posing on a tree branch in a green bikini, against a background of lush green leaves. "The forest is my oldest friend," she captioned the post. "If this is what a wild animal looks like, I'd let it maul me," commented partner Machine Gun Kelly.
Fox works hard to stay in shape—and she dodges ultraprocessed carbs. "I exercise really hard twice a week," she says. "I got my [butt] kicked this morning before I came here! I do bursts of cardio with really heavy weights. Circuit training. I cut out all bread and those sort of carbohydrates. No crackers, no pretzels, no chips. Nothing unhealthy. The worst thing I put in my body is coffee, once a day… I don't have any cheat days. But if I did, it would be pizza or cake."
Fox's trainer Harley Pasternak says she continued working out throughout her pregnancies, starting with her son Noah in 2012. "We worked out throughout her entire pregnancy," Pasternak says. "She was a model of health through the whole process. She really educated herself big time and had a great relationship with her physician so she really understood the safe boundaries of how to exercise and eat well during pregnancy. As a result, she knew how active she could be and she was very consistent and didn't overdo it."
Fox bounced back quickly postpartum thanks to a series of sensibly-designed workouts. "We used the exact same exercises as we did pre-baby," Pasternak says. "We just focused more on the process and adjusted our program to suit her specific needs and limitations. The workouts we did are like all of my other Five Factor workouts. They are five phases: a minimum five minute cardio warm-up, a lower body sculpting exercise, an upper body toning exercise, then an abdominal sculpting exercise, and finally, a five minute cool down. We tried to have her do minimal impact. Post-baby there shouldn't be a lot of jumping up and down."
Pasternak says Fox loves making smoothies at home with seasonal berries, protein powder, and almond milk. "With almond milk being one of the more popular milk alternatives, I'm asked whether almond milk is a good source of calcium quite often," says Amanda Beaver, wellness dietitian at Houston Methodist. "Some organic brands aren't fortified with it, so be sure to check the label and get your calcium through other foods if needed. Better yet, be sure to choose an almond milk brand that is fortified with calcium."
She might have an incredible, envy-inspiring figure, but Fox says she has suffered from body dysmorphia her whole life. "I have body dysmorphia," she says. "I don't see myself the way other people see me. There was never a point in my life where I loved my body. There was never ever. When I was little, that was an obsession I had of 'but I should look this way,' and why I had an awareness of my body that young, I'm not sure. And it definitely wasn't environmental because I grew up in a very religious environment where bodies weren't even like, acknowledged. The journey of loving myself is going to be never-ending, I think."

Venezuelan actress and model Catherine Fulop is looking back on a fun-filled vacation in beautiful Punta Cana, Dominican Republic. Fulop, 58, shared pictures of herself posing on the beach in a black bikini, soaking up the sunshine and gorgeous weather. "Some postcards from my trip to Punta Cana!" she captioned the post. "This is the most beautiful woman in the world… I've always thought so," a fan commented.
Fulop believes in a balanced lifestyle to look and feel good. "There is no magic formula to feel good," she says. "One has to enjoy the beautiful moments, treat oneself and in turn compensate it with the physical activity that one likes the most. The key is to achieve comprehensive wellness. I eat a fairly healthy diet, where I prioritize eating vegetables, fruits and proteins. I don't follow any type of strict regime but I try to eat a variety, with legumes, sprouts and seeds."
Fulop practices intermittent fasting, finding it particularly beneficial as she gets older. "Take a moment to think about your eating habits," says Melinda Gong, RD, CDCES, CSOWM. If you notice that you tend to snack a lot at night, intermittent fasting could give you a cut-off time and help you eat less. If you notice your last meal of the day is late in the evening, maybe you can eat earlier to allow your body to start fasting at that time."
Fulop trains hard six days a week. "I train six times a week: two days I do it alone with exercises prepared for me by my online staff, Vero, and the other 4 days I do it with my other personal trainer, Beto, who gives me a routine lasting 50 minutes," she says. "I work the entire upper, middle and lower body. Above all, I work my legs. And I do a lot of crunches, I can do 200 a day. In all the routines I exercise the abdominals. Mainly my training is high intensity HIIT and includes strength because what we are looking for is that the muscle is sustained."
Fulop relies on good habits over discipline to stay happy and in shape. "Everything we do repeatedly is what will cause effects," she says. "That's why, when they ask me how I take care of myself, I always answer that it's not about just one thing! There is not much secret. Focus on your habits, your training, your diet, your rest and consult your doctor so that he can guide you and add a supplement if you need it or you think it can enhance your training."
Fulop stays hydrated and does plenty of cardio. "I drink more than two liters of water a day, I do antioxidant treatments by eating some vitamin pills, but the most important thing is the 55 minutes of aerobics, localized and spinning, accompanied by a completely organic diet," she says. "Because I don't eat any fat or bread. Also, on an empty stomach I have a glass of squeezed lemon, without sugar or sweetener."
