Danica Taylor is best known for being a contestant on Love Island. However, she's also made waves as an Instagram influencer. Taylor shares a lot of gorgeous photos on her page. She just posted one of herself in a red swimsuit, her figure on display. Taylor captioned the post, "On my worst behavior."
Taylor is all about self-love. She opened up about this and a recent experience she had in the caption of this Instagram post. "Love yourself first always," she writes. "It's ok to be confident!! I walked past a girl today who used to be SO nasty to me when I was about 13, was always vile towards me. Laughing at me, always making snide comments like 'go on Beyoncé give us a dance' when all I ever did was be ME. Now she's sat doing the bare minimum, still bitter and I'm achieving every thing I've ever wanted so thanks to me for always loving and choosing me! This is your sign to do the same girl. Do it for the younger you who might have doubted."
Taylor shares some of her favorite workouts on Instagram. One thing she likes to do is dance-based fitness. Taylor posted a video of herself doing a workout. She captioned the post, "Umm this is my kinda cardio baby, if this didn't make you want to get up and join in I'll be very disappointed."
Taylor makes sure to stretch. She even shares some stretching videos on Instagram. In one, she is seen stretching on the beach.
Taylor captioned the post, "With holidays on my mind and needing a little motivation, here's a little stretching montage I made In Mauritius before doing some dance fitness because who wants to run on a treadmill?? SO LAST YEAR!! I said I'd recreate my stretching from in the villa too so I guess your welcome. This is your reminder from Danica to stretch, some of you be looking hella stiff haha love ya x."
"When it comes to finding snacks that can help keep you full, fiber is an important quality. This is because fiber can help to suppress your appetite by slowing down your body's rate of digestion, making you feel full longer. If you're looking for a fruit or vegetable that fits this bill, blackberries are an easy and delicious option," says our sister site Eat This, Not That!
Vitamin D, often referred to as the "sunshine vitamin," plays a vital role in maintaining overall health and well-being. When our skin is exposed to sunlight, it triggers the production of vitamin D in our bodies. This essential nutrient is crucial for the proper absorption of calcium and phosphorus, promoting strong and healthy bones. Moreover, vitamin D has been linked to improved immune function, which helps defend the body against infections and diseases. Adequate levels of vitamin D have also shown to positively impact mood and mental health, reducing the risk of depression and anxiety.
Additionally, this sunshine vitamin supports cardiovascular health by assisting in the regulation of blood pressure and preventing heart-related issues. While moderate sun exposure is beneficial for vitamin D synthesis, it is essential to strike a balance and protect the skin from excessive sunlight to avoid harmful UV radiation. Incorporating vitamin D-rich foods and supplements, when necessary, into one's diet can further contribute to reaping the full health benefits of this sunshine vitamin.

British dancer Abbie Quinnen has clearly been working hard to be fit and toned for the summer, judging by her recent social media updates. Quinnen shared some pictures of herself posing in front of her bathroom mirror, wearing a black bikini that showcased her incredible physique to perfection. "Absolute figure goals," a fan commented. "Stunning," said another.
Quinnen loves swimming and paddle boarding in the open ocean. "Exercising in natural environments has been shown to have greater benefits for mental health than exercising elsewhere," says Sergio Diez Alvarez, Director Of Medicine, The Maitland and Kurri Kurri Hospital, University of Newcastle. "This is because it combines the benefits of exercise with the restorative effects of being in nature. Swimming in the ocean is no less the case. It can be relaxing, meditative and reduce stress."
Quinnen now takes extra-special care of her skin after suffering a serious burn in 2022. "I began moisturizing four times a day, then I'd apply a silicone gel four times a day, followed by silicone scar sheets and a compression vest on top," she says. "It was a never-ending routine and became a full-time job. My scars were so tight, I had to keep them hydrated to be able to move. I've been lucky in that my face recovered quite quickly. It took a few months and I had to wipe my scars every day with Hibiscrub but it healed quicker than my body."
Quinnen was back running months after getting surgery for her accident. "I ran a half-marathon just five months after surgery, raising money for the Chelsea and Westminster Hospital trust's charity," she says. "We have to allow ourselves to make mistakes. Nobody's perfect and I'm just going to take really good care of my health and my body. I'm still so young and have been through such a horrible thing that has left me with obvious scars. Any normal 24-year-old can go to the beach in a bikini and have no scars — whereas at the moment, I can't really sit on the beach and be in the sun because my scars will get worse. It's been a hard experience to get over but it just takes time."
Quinnen loves sipping on coffee while she's out and about. "Antioxidants help prevent and repair damage to cells and genetic material around your body," says Caroline Thomason, RD, CDCES. "Research has shown that coffee is a significant source of polyphenols, a type of antioxidant, in many people's diets. Polyphenols also help fuel your 'good' gut bacteria."
Quinnen works out at the gym using machines and weights. "As you get older, your joints are more likely to experience wear and tear," says Emma Mitchell, physiotherapist at Bupa UK. "Sometimes this can cause pain and discomfort when moving. But, strength exercise can support the muscles around your joints, which helps to keep them stable and strong. Studies also show that regular strength training can reduce your risk of sports injuries."

Abbie Chatfield is treating her followers to some swimsuit selfies. In a new social media video and photo, the Aussie celeb flaunts her flaming hot body in a gold bathing suit. "Honestly I just found these hot photos I took of myself in Perth so I thought I would share. Ur welcome," she captioned the Instagram post.
Exercise is a priority for Abbie. "I work out six days a week with a mix of HIIT, yoga, Pilates and just going for a run," she told Body + Soul. 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.
Abbie maintains a healthy diet. She starts off with a breakfast of yogurt with some frozen berries or pieces of fruit. Later in the morning she munches on corn thins with avocado spread. Lunch might be canned salmon with vegetables and a dash of rice. Dinner is usually a vegetarian patty or falafel wrap. If she has a sweet tooth she will have peanut butter with dates for dinner.
Abbie loves cycling. 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.
Abbie, who battled "definitely disordered eating" and had "definite like, fatphobic thoughts that were ingrained in me by society and especially being a young woman in the early 2000's," stressed the importance of self-love on her podcast. "I've worked so hard to not have those thoughts and I think I'm really proud of myself for genuinely not working out for how I look, not eating for how I look, genuinely enjoying food and genuinely being able to enjoy exercise and be more worried about whether I'm eating enough and what I'm eating and making sure I have the right nutrients."
Abbie listens to her body and exercises when she feels like it. "I wake up and I would be like 'I feel like doing yoga right now' so I'll do yoga," she told Yahoo Lifestyle. "Or I'm feeling a bit anxious, so I feel like going for a run – rather than 'I should run, to lose weight, to look better, to be more fit'."

Fitness model Sommer Ray is enjoying summer fun and activities on a trip to Colorado. Ray, 26, shared pictures of herself posing next to two inner tubes in a black and white cheetah-print bikini, against a background of mountains and trees. She completed the look with a hat, sunglasses, and tank top over her swimsuit. "Tuuubin'," she captioned the post.
Ray keeps her protein intake high to fuel her workouts. "I try to eat 70 grams of protein a day to maintain my glute muscle mass by starting most mornings with a protein shake, my first of six small meals throughout the day," she says. "Sometimes I'll prepare grilled chicken, veggies and steamed white rice for each of these meals, but more often I'll eat out. I love In-and-Out Burger! I take my burger without the bun. Then I get my starch later from starchy veggies and whole grains."
Ray works out five times a week for 90 minutes at a time. Two of those workout sessions are focused on her glutes. "If my glutes are sore, I tell myself, 'I probably shouldn't work them today,'" she says. "I just listen to my body. There's not a certain exercise or specific workout that's beneficial. I switch it up every day and try to make it fun, because as soon as it feels like a job, you don't want to do it."
Ray doesn't believe in working out for short-term benefits, instead emphasizing how important it is to have a healthy lifestyle. "I feel that people lose motivation when they get motivated for the wrong reasons," she says. "Girls may want to workout for that summer bod, or after going through a bad breakup. But I always make sure my motivation comes from the intent of my wanting to better myself."
Ray says she only competes with herself these days. "I started competing in the NPC [National Physique Committee] when I was 16 years old," she says. "I stood next to girls in their 20s/30s and was being compared to them, yet nothing was comparable—we were simply at different stages of life (muscle doesn't mature until you're in your 20s). So believe me, I know what that feeling is like. But honestly, I never compared myself, so it didn't matter that the judges did. I was confident in the hard work and the dedication I put in for myself. So at the end of the day, I know myself and I'm content in the woman I am. And when you are, you are incomparable. My only competition is myself and wanting to better myself everyday."
Ray works hard and knows how important it is to relax and reset. "On the weekends, and on some weekdays, too, I also like to have a drink — typically, tequila — and whatever else I'm craving," she says. "If I want a slice of pizza, I have a slice of pizza. I want to look good, but I also want to enjoy life."

Devon Windsor is heating up the tropics in her swimsuit. Just two months after giving birth to her second child, the supermodel shows off her body in a two-piece while vacationing on an island. "Beached," she captioned the set of Instagram snaps.
Devon is living, breathing proof that supermodels don't starve themselves. "If I'm not working, my typical day starts off with a huge breakfast. I like to incorporate eggs, toast, bacon or a smoothie with Greek yogurt," she told Women Fitness. "I'll most likely workout after breakfast and then join friends for lunch. Following lunch, I run errands and organize myself before my next job or travel day. I like to finish my day with a cozy dinner with friends or I cook for myself at home. If I'm working, I wake up and get a smoothie and head to set and work all day. Depending on when I get off, I either go home and order dinner or meet up with friends."
Exercise is a big part of Devon's life. "I'm a huge fan of Pilates – I like to do that a couple times a week as well as see my trainer. My trainer is always able to push me harder than I would myself. I also like to incorporate boxing for cardio purposes since I don't love to run. I always workout in the mornings as well. I would say I workout maybe 3-5 times a week," she told Women Fitness.
Because she trains so hard, Devon makes sure to stay hydrated. "Drink a lot of water while you workout," she suggested to Women Fitness. 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.
Megan Roup's dance-inspired workouts are a favorite of Devon's. "I am so terrible at cardio but this class is amazing because it's dance cardio… which means I really don't notice how exhausted I am while jumping around! She mixes the dance cardio with light weights, leg weights and sliders which are good for the booty as well as the abs! After the class I head over to this place called Lymbr to go get a quick 30 minute stretch. It is super important to stretch before and after workouts so that you don't injure yourself!" she revealed to Hollywood Life.
Devon also does Pvolve workouts, which you can do at home with a few workout tools. "I really love this workout because it is full of small, slow movements that burn like crazy! This is the best workout for building super long and lean muscle! We use a lot of ankle weights and bands which are two keys for staying strong and slim! After my workout I get a 90 minute medical massage! This massage isn't just for relaxing because the masseuse gets very deep in your muscles and stretches you at the same time. It is almost a bit painful at times but when you're working out so much it is a necessity!" she told Hollywood Life.
Devon told Elle she likes to "mix cardio with bodyweight exercises," she said. She trains at the celebrity gym mecca The Dogpound. "I am training with my girlfriend and my trainer, Kirk! I love working out with friends because one, it's more fun, two, it's hard to get out of it, and three, it's more motivating and pushes me to try harder! We did a bunch of body weight exercises, some abs, booty, legs and light arms," she added to Hollywood Life.

Olivia Rodrigo is celebrating the success of her new hit single Vampire by going on a Hawaiian vacation in her swimsuit. In one of her latest social media posts, the Grammy award-winning star shows off her incredible body in a bathing suit while vacationing at the Four Seasons Resort Maui at Wailea. "Vacay dumpppp," she captioned a series of Instagram photos.
During an interview with Teen Vogue Olivia revealed that she runs. "I am a terrible runner but it's the thought that counts," she said. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. "For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories," they say.
One of Olivia's healthy habits? "I try to read every night before I go to bed," the singer told Teen Vogue. 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.
If you want flat and strong abs like Olivia, you are going to have to crunch for it. The star told Teen Vogue that working on her midsection also helps destress her, saying that she had done "an ab workout to help release some energy."
During an interview with Vogue, Olivia revealed that bacon is part of her self-care routine. "I wake up and make my little matcha and I make bacon for myself, and then I sit at the piano and try to write something, even if it's s**t," she told the magazine. What else does she eat? She says that "almost every night before a show" she has a turkey sandwich. She also loves cooking. Two of her go-to's are banana bread and Cacio e Pepe. And her fast food orders? "I love a good McDonald's oatmeal. I also love an in-N-Out double-double cheeseburger with a Neapolitan shake," she said.
Olivia trains with Kirsty Godso, a New Zealand-born personal trainer who also works out with Kaia Gerber and Maddie Ziegler. Hiring a personal trainer can be a game-changer on the journey to achieving your health and fitness goals. The benefits of having a personal trainer extend far beyond just having someone to guide you through workouts. They offer personalized and tailored workout plans that suit your specific needs, ensuring maximum efficiency and results. Personal trainers provide valuable expertise, correcting your form and technique to prevent injuries and optimize performance.
Moreover, they act as motivators, keeping you accountable and pushing you to surpass your limits. With their vast knowledge of nutrition and exercise science, personal trainers are the key to unlocking your full potential, making your fitness aspirations a reality. Invest in a personal trainer and witness the transformation of not just your body but also your overall well-being.
During an interview with CBS Sunday Morning for Mental Illness Awareness Week, Olivia explained how therapy has been "life-changing" for her. "I hadn't really started going till I was like, 16," she said. "That was a really big, life-changing moment. I've learned so much about myself." She continued: "Sometimes people are like, 'Oh, you don't need that. You have so much. Your life is so great. What are your problems?'" Olivia said. "I think that's definitely a thing that sometimes older people can do to younger people, too — kind of trivialize what they're going through just because, you know, 'Ah, they're fine, they're just kids. They'll get through it.' But it feels so real when you're in it. It's so valid."
Olivia has another self-care health habit. "I love a bubble bath," she confessed during Vogue's 73 Questions. How can baths do your body and mind good? They have been linked to better sleep and even found helpful to minimize anxiety and depression. One recent study even found that they may even boast cardiovascular benefits.
Olivia also blasts calories by dancing, which she has been doing since she was a little kid. "I did a lot of ballet when I was younger, but that didn't pan out," she told Vogue. 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.
"I love criticism, honestly," Rodrigo told Variety. "I think I can grow so much from people being like, 'Oh, I wish it was more like this,' and I'm like, 'Oh cool, this is my first album; I'm learning.'"
Olivia's BFF Madison Hu that the two sweat through Pilates classes together. Why is pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic there are lots of benefits to the workout, as it "strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility resulting in improved overall health. It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.
In her latest Instagram post, Olivia hikes in Hawaii. "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.

Rose Bertram is showing off her tiger stripes in her swimsuit. The mother-of-two flaunts her incredible figure, stretch marks included, in one of her latest social media posts. In it, she lounges by the pool. "Perfect imperfections," she captioned the series of Instagram snaps.
Rose is devoted to exercise. "I work out at least 3 times a week, I do a combination of cardio and weight training," she told Pretty Little Thing. How does she motivate herself when she isn't feeling it? "I always imagine myself on a beach, taking pictures and give myself the motivation to keep that beach body!"
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.
Rose understands the importance of consuming healthy fats. One food she always has in her kitchen? "Avocado!" she enthusiastically told Pretty Little Thing about the omega-3 rich produce item.
Rose is "#Nevernotmealprepping," she told Pretty Little Thing. She even has her own food company, Chubby In Shape. "I put a lot of work in it as I love being healthy and cook healthy meals for other people that want to eat healthy as well!" she said.
Bertram loves coconut oil. "I also use coconut oil a lot, for my teeth, hair, skin, everything!" she told IntoTheGloss. "They say that it bleaches your teeth and apparently, if you eat one spoonful of it a day, it burns fat. I don't do that, but I do have very dry skin so it helps moisturize, and I cook with it a lot. Then, if I have a shoot, I just put it in my hair the night before and when I wash it the next day, it feels alive again."

Lexie Brown is taking a break from basketball. In one of her latest social media posts, the WNBA Los Angeles Sparks player shows off her incredible body in a bathing suit. "My other summer uniform," she joked in the Instagram caption.
Lexie trains hard in the gym, doing a variety of weight and strength training exercises. She even sells her workout programs on her website. 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.
Lexie gets her stretch on with yoga. She told The Athletic that she loves a sunrise or sunset yoga class. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. "Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood," they said. "People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating."
Lexie also gets outside and goes for walks and hikes. 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.
Basketball isn't the only game Lexie excels at – she loves golfing. 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.
Lexie's primary sweat method is obviously 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.

Brylie St. Claire is heating up Miami in her swimsuit. The softball sensation shows off her famous figure in a bathing suit while enjoying a vacay in the sunny spot in one of her latest social media posts. "Wannabe local," she captioned the Instagram post.
Brylie is an experienced equestrian, regularly sharing photos of her horses. "Everyone meet boots," she captioned a 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.
Brylie loves animals, including dogs. Dog walking is one of the many ways she burns calories. "Labs are the best," she captioned this photo. 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.
When Brylie isn't on the field, you can find her on the lake. Two of her favorite water activities? Wakeboarding and jet skiing. According to Health Fitness Revolution, the average 150-pound rider will burn a surprising 238 calories during a half-hour ride. The sport is also great for cardiovascular endurance.
Brylie confesses that her flat abs aren't just the result of healthy eating and dieting. She recently shared a photo of herself getting an EmSculpt Neo treatment, a non-invasive treatment that contours the body using radio frequency and high-intensity electromagnetic energies to provide simultaneous fat elimination and muscle toning in a combined 30-minute session. According to the company, in just 30 minutes, it stimulates over 24,000 supramaximal muscle contractions, achieving the equivalent of 12-16 weeks of HIIT training in just four sessions.
Brylie also golfs, regularly sharing clips of her swing via Instagram Stories. 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.

Ashley Park is heating up Europe. The Emily in Paris star flaunts her incredible figure in some of her latest social media photos, taken while vacationing with friends. "Burrata cosplaying as a tomato, chocolate as a feather, and some other petite noms and europe cuties this week," she captioned the series of Instagram snaps.
"I'm a huge skin care person now, and I love FaceGym [a facial exercise studio and line of skin-care products]," Ashley told Shape. "I have a face massager from them. The face is full of muscles and we never think to work them out. So, now I use a gua sha tool to massage them. It makes your face feel so much more relaxed."
Park exercises daily. "I have to move every day," she told Shape. "That can be hard with my filming schedule, so I've learned that to stay motivated, I have to adjust what type of physical activity can fit into my life at any given moment."
Park mixes up workouts. "I've done everything — I had a big yoga phase, a big cycling phase, a big running phase," she lists. "And I've always loved dancing," she told Shape.
Park is a big fan of pilates, which she recently started doing. "It feels very athletic, but it's low impact," she told Shape. "I sweat a ton and feel much stronger when I am done with it. Similar to dance, you use a lot of different muscles and there's a real mind-body connection that happens with it."
Park prefers training alone over a group setting. "When I'm in group class situations, I feel like it's easier to cheat," she told Shape. "You can hide behind other people." She says that one-on-one sessions with her trainer Brandon Perry, make her "held accountable."
At 15 Park was diagnosed with acute myeloid leukemia, a type of cancer of the blood and bone marrow, which has impacted her dietary choices. While she generally maintains a plant-based diet, she does eat meat on occasion. "I am highly anemic because of what I went through with my cancer," she told Shape. "So, I do like a nice steak every once in a while." As for dairy and gluten, it all depends on where she's eating these foods. "When I'm in America, those things don't sit that well with me," she says. "But, for some reason, when I am in Europe, I can eat an entire bread basket and so much cheese, and it's fine."
