It\u2019s finally summer, and with hot weather often comes a renewed focus on health \u2014 physically, mentally and spiritually. No one knows how to prep for bikini season better than swimsuit models, and some of the world\u2019s best are spilling their wellness secrets exclusively in the latest edition of Us Weekly<\/em><\/a>, on newsstands now.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs we\u2019re stepping into summer everyone is always [fixated on] their bodies and what they look like putting on a swimsuit,\u201d Sports Illustrated Swim<\/em> cover star Hunter McGrady<\/strong> tells Us<\/em> exclusively. \u201cI always say, \u2018Put your confidence on first.\u2019 Make sure you\u2019re wearing that first before going out.\u201d<\/p>\n

For many people, confidence is the most important ingredient to a fun and healthy summer, but stars like Olivia Culpo<\/strong>, Jasmine Tookes<\/strong> and Ashley Graham<\/strong> also share their healthy eating tips and go-to workouts when the sun is out<\/p>\n

Keep scrolling for more models\u2019 wellness secrets, from self-care to fitness tips:\n<\/p>\n

Olivia Culpo<\/h3>\n

Culpo is the first to admit that staying fit is a huge part of her life. And when it comes to breaking a sweat, she likes to mix it up.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been really enjoying Pilates and running,\u201d Culpo, 32, told Entertainment Tonight<\/em><\/a> last year. \u201cI have a trainer I see for more HIIT-type workouts, and I do at-home workouts with resistance bands. I also love to run around with my dog, which ends up feeling like a significant workout these days.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jasmine Tookes<\/h3>\n

In addition to frequent workouts (she switches between weight training and Pilates), Tookes tells Us<\/em> that she sticks to a \u201chealthy\u201d and \u201cnutritious\u201d diet plan.<\/p>\n

\u201cOne of my go-to meals throughout the week is a combination of grilled protein, rice and a big, vibrant salad,\u201d she says. \u201cThis is incredibly versatile, allowing me to mix and match different proteins like steak, chicken or shrimp and ingredients to keep things exciting.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ashley Graham<\/h3>\n

As a working mom of three, Graham\u2019s learned to adopt a more laid-back approach to meal time.<\/p>\n

\u201c[My diet] is always so different, because I\u2019m either on the road or with the kids,\u201d Graham told Women\u2019s Health<\/em><\/a> last month. \u201cI don\u2019t put parameters around myself. \u2026 Sometimes I\u2019m grabbing a smoothie, sometimes I\u2019m eating a full-on cheeseburger.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, carving out daily \u201cme time\u201d is a must for the model.<\/p>\n

\u201cHandling my stress is always taking care of my body, mind and spirit, and making sure that everything is aligned,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Hunter McGrady<\/h3>\n

Though she counts Pilates and SoulCycle as her go-to workouts, the SI Swim<\/em> cover model says self-love and being present is the trick to feeling good.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy biggest thing is [to] wear the damn swimsuit,\u201d she tells Us<\/em>. \u201cAlso, go have fun with it. If you\u2019re somebody who has always wanted to wear a string bikini, try it! Why not? Go and do it. You only live once. Do the thing that makes you afraid because you might end up loving it.\u201d<\/p>\n

McGrady adds: \u201cYou don\u2019t want to be a bystander in life. Jump in and do it. Get a full bite of life. Enjoy it and hone it in. Because our time here is so short. I promise you will look back and say, \u2018Gosh, I wish I would\u2019ve been more present to enjoy these moments.\u2019 Just feeling the sand on you, the water, the lake, the ocean, whatever it is! Being present is crucial.\u201d<\/p>\n

Winnie Harlow<\/h3>\n

When she wants to feel her best, Harlow hits the gym.<\/p>\n

\u201cI feel most capable when I\u2019m going consistently,\u201d she told Women\u2019s Health<\/em><\/a> last year. \u201cLots of squats, pli\u00e9s and TRX. My favorite [move] is Russian twists with a [medicine] ball.\u201d<\/p>\n

While she confessed to following a \u201cvegan-adjacent\u201d diet, Harlow does allow herself to eat without restrictions when she travels.<\/p>\n

\u201cI enjoy food, and I just like to have fun,\u201d she explained. \u201cIf I want a cookie, I\u2019m going to eat a cookie.\u201d<\/p>\n

Josephine Skriver<\/h3>\n

According to Skriver, catching some zzz\u2019s, staying active and hydrating are \u201cabsolutely essential\u201d for any wellness journey.<\/p>\n

\u201cA good night\u2019s sleep is the best thing you can do for yourself. It [enhances] your cognitive functions,\u201d Skriver, who cofounded Joja activewear<\/a> with Tookes, a fellow model and her best friend, tells Us<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cSecond, incorporate movement throughout your day: Take the stairs, do some stretches during breaks. [It] not only strengthens your body, but also boosts your mood significantly,\u201d she adds. \u201cLastly, our bodies need water to function properly, so make sure you\u2019re drinking enough!\u201d<\/p>\n
