Bethenny Frankel shares 4 tips she swears by to stay fit and youthful at 54
This summer, Bethenny Frankel's abs went viral. At 54, the 'Real Housewife' turned-business mogul walked the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Show, and her toned midriff galvanized the internet. Frankel told Business Insider she has been inundated with questions about her secrets for aging gracefully with a busy, travel-intensive schedule. "They want to know how I live, how I eat, how I pack, what I do," she said. Frankel said she doesn't follow a strict routine. She tries to walk regularly, manage stress proactively, and doesn't overthink her diet. Still, she understands the fear of getting older, and the desire to feel confident and healthy in your 50s. "I think people were moved by the Sports Illustrated Walk because they were saying, 'oh wait, I am not done. I have so much time. I could have a glow up in five years, in 10 years, in 20 years,'" Frankel said. If you are looking to give your lifestyle a tune-up, here are her top tips. Keep your fitness routine simple Frankel become a major player in business, turning her Skinnygirl brand into a multimillion dollar company and investing in various other companies — a golden touch known as the "Bethenny Effect." Still, she said she's not the type to follow a set schedule. "There is no typical day. A morning routine? I'm not that kind of person." One thing she will always fit in, though, is a walk. "I just try to get in steps, but certainly not every day." Walking is a great for longevity, since it keeps your heart strong and promotes good balance and stability, according to cardiologists and healthy aging doctors. While lifting weights is good for healthy aging too, the best exercise is one you'll do consistently, personal trainers say. If she's learned anything over the years, Frankel said, it's that you don't need to overcomplicate your workout routine to stay healthy as you age, 3 supplements she swears by Frankel said she takes a daily "pile of vitamins" and powders including: NAD+ — a trendy molecule being researched for energy and healthy aging in an IV and pill form. Collagen — a type of protein that supports healthy skin, hair, and joints. Irish sea moss — a nutrient-rich, edible seaweed that provides fiber, magnesium, and vitamins A and C. Carbs are good, actually Frankel has long been famous for her "supermodel snacks," low-calorie bites that combine protein sources like turkey slices with mustard and bagel seasoning. Despite loving cottage cheese — which is protein-packed — Frankel said the high-protein trend is over-rated. "People are fixated and obsessed with so much protein. I think protein is good, just like I think carbs are good, fiber is good," she said. Instead, she tries to get creative in reaching for flavors she's craving, while being mindful of portion sizes. Make time for yourself Frankel said one of the major reasons for her continued success in both health and business is a proactive approach to burnout. She has a packed schedule, and finding balance is what has allowed her to keep up with a steady stream of obligations. Frankel said she still has stressful days, but she's learned to set aside plenty of time after to recover. That means being diligent about really resting, taking a full day to do nothing — not a 15-minute interview, not a quick meeting, not anything work-related, no matter how small, so she can fully unwind. "I don't run the car into the ground," Frankel said, preparing to take a long, relaxing walk in the sunshine after wrapping up her interview with BI. "You need to have a discipline about saying no."

Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Katie Austin's 7-Day workout plan
If you've ever dreamed of being featured in a bikini on an iconic magazine cover, Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Katie Austin is here to tell you — it's not that hard. The magazine unveiled its four 2025 covers this week featuring Salma Hayek, Olympian Jordan Chiles, NCAA gymnast Livvy Dunne, and model Lauren Chan — and Austin, is back inside the issue for the fifth year in a row. The 31-year-old — who is also the daughter of legendary aerobics instructor Denise Austin and a fitness influencer with over 457,000 Instagram followers — spoke to The Post about the routine she follows to get in shape in the days leading up to the shoot.

Getty Images for Sports Illustrated 'First off, I just want to say that SI Swimsuit is always the most inclusive and accepts you for whoever you are and whatever body type you have,' she said. 'It's nothing about, 'Oh, I need to lose weight,' or 'I need to eat better to look perfect for the shoot.'' That means the lead-up is less about shedding pounds than it is about shedding self-doubt. Advertisement 'It's more about heading into the shoot feeling my best, feeling my strongest, most confident, and comfortable on set,' she said. That being said, there is some exercise involved, which is why she recently launched her 'Swimsuit Strong: Seven-Day Body Boost' program, revealing the precise exercises she did in the week before her shoot last year. 'It's a little less than 40 minutes per day, but those are the exact workouts I did,' she said.

Getty Images for Sports Illustrated The entire program — which is available on her app — combines pilates, cardio and strength training for a fast and effective full-body sculpt. The key is to stick with it. 'The one thing I do the week before the shoot is make sure I work out every day,' she said. Advertisement 'I eat intuitively all the time and stay consistent with my workouts. I also make sure I walk for at least 20 to 30 minutes every day for my mental health. I think being in a great mental headspace before the shoot is really important. You just feel your best.' As for her diet? 'I don't really set a diet for myself,' she said. 'With food, I don't restrict myself too much, but one thing I do the seven days before is not eat after 8 p.m. and just stay very hydrated. ' Of course, she's human — which means she also has days when she doesn't feel like working out. When that happens, she's got a nifty little mind trick to get herself motivated. 'I tell myself I'm only going to do five to ten minutes, and then I'll feel so much better and I'll want to keep going,' she previously told The Post. 'If I tell myself beforehand, 'I'm going to do a 30- to 45-minute workout,' I probably won't accomplish it because that sounds intimidating.' Advertisement 4 Austin recently launched the exact 7-day workout plan she used for her Sports Illustrated Swimsuit shoot. Instagram/@katieaustinapp If the window is that small, she usually opts for strength training over cardio. 'Strength would definitely make me feel more productive and just get me moving. I probably wouldn't do a cardio workout just because I'd need my heart rate to be up for longer, and also, if I only have 10 minutes, I probably don't want to get too sweaty,' she said. And if she's feeling really uninspired — she will at a least go for a brisk walk. Advertisement 'Walking is not only amazing for your physical health, but also for your mental health,' she said. 'Even if you just walk for 15 to 20 minutes.' 4 Katie Austin attends the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Celebration of the 2024 Issue Release. Getty Images for Sports Illustrated Swimsuit 'What I love to do from there is use it as a way to start my workout if I'm feeling unmotivated. You'll get motivation, brain power and energy from your walk, and then you can start your workout.' The star also shared some advice from her famous mom. Advertisement 'One thing my mom has always told me is how important strength training is, especially as we get older, for bone density,' she said. 'As we age, we tend to focus on Pilates or low-impact workouts, but making sure you still do strength workouts is really important to stay strong and healthy overall,' Austin said. 'Even my mom strength trains about four times a week,' she added.
