Inside Sydney Sweeney's grueling exercise and diet regime as star sizzles in swimsuit alongside mystery man
Sydney Sweeney turned heads this weekend as she soaked up the sun in a swimsuit during a lakefront getaway in northern Idaho. The 27-year-old actress was seen cozying up to a mystery man, sharing playful moments and stepping away from her group of friends and family to spend some alone time with him. While some fans were left wondering who her potential new beau is, many have also been marveling at her sculpted physique. Sweeney, who is set to star as former professional boxer Christy Martin in upcoming biopic titled Christy, proudly flaunted her figure that is the result of a disciplined workout routine and diet. So how exactly did she achieve her toned look? Sweeney has always had an active streak, and has credited much of her natural athleticism to her outdoorsy upbringing. 'I grew up on the water, always running around in a bikini,' she previously told Elle. 'If I wasn't swimming in the lake or the ocean, I was skiing or attempting to surf.' Summers, she explained to Women's Health, have always played a transformative role in her physique. 'I see such a change in my body after an entire summer. My arms are stronger and more sculpted. My abs are rock solid.' But her natural athleticism doesn't stop with seasonal activities. The actress also has a background in mixed martial arts (MMA), a sport she took seriously enough to compete in - and win. 'I did competitions and I got first place fighting all guys,' she once revealed to Kelly Clarkson. But lately, Sweeney's fitness game has reached a new level, thanks to intense preparation for Christy. 'I've been immersed in training to bring to life the story of an incredible woman - a true champion who fought battles both inside and outside the ring,' she shared in an Instagram post. 'Her journey is a testament to resilience, strength, and hope.' In an interview with W magazine, she explained that while training for the role of Christy, her body became completely different. 'I loved it,' she said. 'I came onboard to play Christy, and I had about three and a half months of training. I started eating. I weight-trained in the morning for an hour, kickboxed midday for about two hours, and then weight-trained again at night for an hour.' Because of this intense routine, she went up four clothes sizes. 'My boobs got bigger. And my butt got huge. It was crazy! I was like, "Oh my God." But it was amazing: I was so strong, like crazy strong,' she said. And when she isn't training to play the most successful female boxer of the 90s, she likes to stay fit through Pilates and other similar exercises. 'I like this place called SolidCore. It's a full-body high-intensity workout but on a reformer, and it's been killing my ass. I love it,' she told WSJ Magazine. The star also emphasized the physical and emotional benefits of the practice, telling Women's Health, 'It just makes me feel so toned and strong, but also elongated, and I feel so good doing that.' As for her diet? It's not as intense as you would expect. 'I love a good bowl of berries and some eggs and a bagel,' she said to Women's Health of her go-to breakfast. She explained that she loves being on the water and noticed that during the summer, her body is at its most toned Lunch is often 'something hearty,' which to her can either mean a chicken Caesar salad or even a cheeseburger. Dinner usually depends on where she is, but one cuisine always stands out: 'I love Italian… Italian's usually my go-to for dinner,' she admitted. Despite the demands of her career, Sweeney doesn't restrict herself too harshly. 'It's important to eat,' she explained. 'I definitely one day will probably start eating healthier, but I work out and I'm so active, so I'm able to balance that out. But I love food and it makes me happy.' That love for food definitely includes sweets. 'I love my sugar. I love my candy. I love my cookies and ice cream,' she admitted. 'I'll randomly find some Sour Patch Kids or some peanut M&M's,' she said. Interestingly, despite seemingly doing everything all at once, she's never turned to coffee for energy. She also loves doing outdoor sports like skiing 'I've never even tried coffee,' she previously told Bustle. Instead, she relies on sugar when she needs a pick-me-up, including Swedish Fish or 'anything gummy.' And when it comes to drinks, she keeps it simple. 'I just identify as just a water person… I never really think about alcohol, to be honest.' She explained that since her tween years, she's stayed on top of her hydration. 'Ever since I was 12 years old, I was like, "I'm just going to drink water." And I love it.' She's also partnered with flavored water brand Bai to add a little variety.

Kourtney and Khloé Kardashian discuss sending kids to school being ‘so dated'
Kourtney Kardashian Barker is sharing her thoughts on the school system, including why she thinks it is 'so dated.' The oldest Kardashian sister recently appeared as a guest on Khloé Kardashian's 'Khloé in Wonder Land' podcast, which streams on X. During their wide-ranging conversation, Kardashian asked her sister to reveal her least favorite memory involving the two of them. Kardashian Barker explained why she wasn't a fan of the 'era' where Kardashian and sister Kim Kardashian would 'gang up on' her. The mom of four said she became 'sensitive' at the time and also started therapy, which led to her 'challenging' the status quo and how their family functioned. She then shared that rejecting norms extended to other areas of her life, like motherhood. 'I feel like I love to just go against the grain,' she said. 'I think living authentically is not conforming to whatever it is.' The 46-year-old reality television star continued, 'It's not (just) about our family. Like, let's say the school system. I'll think, 'Why do kids f— go to school, really? So dated.' Her younger sister chimed in to agree. 'Oh, I'm such a homeschool person. So, don't even get me going,' Kardashian said. Kardashian Barker shares three children — Mason Dash Disick, 15, Penelope Scotland Disick, 12, and Reign Aston Disick, 10 — with ex Scott Disick and 1-year-old son Rocky with husband Travis Barker. She said her kids send her videos dissecting the education system that feature 'really successful people' who never send their children to school. 'Then I'm like, OK, what's the goal here? You want to do homeschool? Let's do it,' Kardashian Barker said. Her unique parenting style impacts how she cares for her children, as well. 'I will, like, nurse the fever of my kids, versus giving Tylenol or Ibuprofen,' she added. 'I just, like, want to do that.' Kardashian Barker has discussed uncommon aspects of her parenting style in the past. In 2022, she revealed during an interview with WSJ Magazine that Mason, then 12, did not eat french fries for an entire year. 'Today I was having my one-on-one time with my son (Mason) and he said, 'Mom, I need McDonald's french fries today, please. It's been a year since I've had it.' I was like, 'Today's not the day, sorry,'' she said at the time. Kardashian Barker explained that while she enjoyed potato chips, Lunchables and more foods during her childhood, she decided to limit what her children eat. 'When I had Mason is when I really started my wellness journey,' she told the publication. 'He's very smart. He'll tell me, 'A person was bad because they let me have Cheetos.'' She also previously said, according to People, that she only feeds her children meals that do not contain gluten or dairy. This article was originally published on

Harrison Ford is ‘still happy' he made ‘Indiana Jones 5' despite underwhelming box office
It takes a lot to make Harrison Ford regret doing a project. This is especially true when it comes to the classic 'Indiana Jones' franchise, in which Ford starred as the titular character, including the franchise's fifth installment, 2023's 'Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny.' The movie grossed $60 million in the US and $70 million internationally, bringing the fifth and final installment of the storied franchise's global box office to $130 million on its 3-day opening – decidedly lackluster numbers at the box office, especially considering the film cost nearly $300 million to make. Ford shrugged it off this week, telling WSJ Magazine in a new interview published Wednesday simply, 'S**t happens.' 'I was really the one who felt there was another story to tell,' he added. 'When (Indy) had suffered the consequences of the life that he had to live, I wanted one more chance to pick him up and shake the dust off his ass and stick him out there, bereft of some of his vigor, to see what happened.' At the end of the day, Ford said, 'I'm still happy I made that movie.' Ford first portrayed Jones in 1981's 'Indiana Jones and the Raiders of the Lost Ark,' and has reprised his role as the whip-cracking archeology professor-adventurer-hero in four sequels total since then. Along with his role of Han Solo in the 'Star Wars' franchise, Indiana Jones is a character forever linked to the Hollywood leading man and one that helped launch his stellar career. In June, Ford told CNN's Chris Wallace in an interview that he wanted to give fans, and the character, an ending that felt conclusive. 'I wanted it to be character driven and I wanted it to confront the question of age straight on – not to hide my age, but to take advantage of it in the telling of the story,' Ford, now 82, said, adding he felt 'very strongly' that they achieved that goal. After playing the character for 40 years, Ford admitted that saying goodbye to Indy was the right move. 'It's time for me to grow up,' he joked. On the big screen, the 'Shrinking' star will next be seen in 'Captain America: Brave New World' later this month.
