Even before BBLs reached their peak in popularity, Blac Chyna has long been one of the first names that comes to mind when cosmetically enhanced figures come up in conversation. While working as a stripper in her younger years, the mother of two got butt injections to fill out her slim thick figure. She’s also had several breast augmentations done, not to mention rounds of facial filler. While they definitely gave her an animated, entertaining look, as she moves into her mid-30s, Chyna has decided to embrace her natural beauty.
After dissolving, reducing, or removing the treatments previously put in her body, the former OnlyFans creator is dedicating herself to the gym. Multiple times throughout the week Chyna – born Angela White – shares videos of her high-intensity workouts, sometimes even bringing her daughter, Dream Kardashian, along to join in. On Saturday (August 19), her feed lit up with another post from the gym, this one showcasing her toned arms throwing some ropes to build their strength up even more.
In her caption, the beauty mogul hinted that she’s got a fitness line of her own coming in the near future. Chyna already sells luxury hair extensions on her profile, and this looks to be just the latest endeavour as she works toward building an empire of her own. “@heartspurefitness coming soon… You ready?” she asked followers, prompting them to send in dozens of excited replies in the comment section.
As she continues on her journey toward healing, Blac Chyna has been sharing plenty of diverse content with us on Instagram. It all began with her videos documenting her decision to remove her injections and implants earlier this year. More recently, she’s drumming up nostalgia for her teenage days with a throwback photo taken at 17 years old. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
50 Cent says that D’Angelo’s “Untitled (How Does It Feel)” music video served as the inspiration for him to get in shape. He explained during a recent interview with Men’s Health that the female response to the video was overwhelming. The initial journey began. however, after his infamous near-fatal shooting in 2000. He says he was put on a liquid diet for six weeks and lost 54 pounds.
“When you slim down, you see everything,” he said of the time. “I’m also working out to get myself stronger, ’cause who’s to say you’re not gonna get hit again?” From there, he brought up the “How Does It Feel (Untitled)” video. “They were talking about a Brad Pitt line!” 50 Cent recalled, referring to Pitt’s appearance in Fight Club. “I’m like, ‘Wait, what’s that?! Oh, nah, that’s important!’”

Prior to his interview with Men’s Health, 50 told his fans that he was getting back into “fighting shape” for his ongoing Final Lap tour. Speaking on Instagram Live in May, he explained: “We gonna do the tour and stuff like that, right? So I’m back working out like that. I always work out, but it’s different when I gotta start running and all that shit. Matter of fact, I’ma show y’all [on] Live every day. Yeah, I’ma do five miles in front of ’em every day.”
50 added: “You gonna see me come back down. I’ma lose at least 25 pounds before [the tour]. I’ll be back in dog shape before I go. I’ma start talking mad shit when I’m back in shape. That’s why I be wanting to fight and shit like that, on the low.”
50’s interview with Men’s Health comes as he continues performing on the Final Lap tour. He has shows scheduled from now through the end of 2023. The tour is being put on in celebration of the 20th anniversary of Get Rich or Die Tryin’.
If you were introduced to Angela White via her Rob & Chyna series with Rob Kardashian, you may recall some of the toxic behaviour the mother of two engaged in in the past. Her relationship with the nepo baby was nothing short of toxic. In fact, it even involved a revenge porn lawsuit after Rob shared nude photos of her on his social media. Blac Chyna has since learned plenty of lessons about life and love. These have led her to make some huge changes in her life throughout the first half of 2023.
It all began when the former OnlyFans creator announced that she was removing her butt injections, breast implants, and facial filler. In addition to that, Chyna had her Baphomet tattoo lasered off and was baptized to reclaim her devotion to God. Now that the updates to her body have had time to settle, she’s looking stronger and more confident than ever. On Tuesday (July 4), she proudly showed off the progress she’s made during a workout session with 6-year-old Dream Kardashian.
In a clip captured by her trainer, Chyna leads by example, showing her youngest child how to do an exercise. The 35-year-old wore an incredibly low-cut red sports pra and matching printed leggings for their gym session. Dream Kardashian showed love to Qatar with her jersey and matched her pink sneakers to the dumbbells she used. Thanks to Chyna’s positive influence, her six-year-old is far more likely to grow up with a healthy relationship to working out.
Outside of the major changes she’s made to her body, Blac Chyna is also making big shifts in her relationships. She and her mother, Tokyo Toni, have gone through huge healing as of late, with the Dominican-born content creator getting her daughter’s name tattooed for her birthday in the spring. See a video of that special moment at the link below, and check back later for more music/pop culture news updates.
Hot Girl Summer has yet to officially begin, but we’re already seeing a slew of thirst traps take over social media. 56-year-old Halle Berry caused some controversy with her tasteful nude over the Easter long weekend, though she was quick to clear her hater with a funny response. While many starlets are already proudly flaunting what they’ve got for the camera, others, like Yung Miami, are still working hard in the gym, making sure their figures are looking right for bikini season.
In a video reposted to her Instagram Story on Monday (April 10), the City Girl and her trainer showed off a few of the moves she uses to stay in shape. One of them is squat jumping jacks, which Caresha looked less than pleased to be completing while being recorded. After completing her set, she turned around to check the time remaining on the clock behind her. “There’s still a minute left,” a voice behind the camera tells her, “and you only did ten drop squats.” As any fitness mogul would, he urges Miami to push through and exercise until the timer runs out.
Yung Miami is Up in the Gym, Workin’ on Her Fitness
When sharing the funny clip on her own Story, the “Twerkulator” hitmaker urged her trainer to “post [her] real workout videos” so Instagram can see just how serious she’s being about Hot Girl Summer this year. Just a few days ago, the mother of two gave us a preview of what’s to come as the weather continues to warm up, capturing a clip of her posing in a stunning gold bathing suit on her IG feed. “I’m telling y’all RIGHT NOW! whew,” Caresha wrote in the caption, obviously gassing herself up.
While she only gives us a view of the bikini’s look from the front, it’s evident based on her curvaceous figure that the back looks “real bad” too, as Yung Miami would say. See for yourself below, and let us know if you’re eager for the impending Hot Girl Summer thirst traps to come in the comments below.
Khloé Kardashian had a rough divorce with Lamar Odom. They met in 2009 and got married a month later. Things started to look rocky in 2013 when Odom’s cocaine addiction was taking over their relationship. Kardashian even filed for divorce from him. She paused the divorce in 2015 to take care of him after he had an almost lethal overdose of the drug. They finished the divorce procedure in 2016. Romantically, she appears to be in a much better place now.
Kardashian revealed in an interview with InStyle that she decided to focus on losing weight instead of worrying about her life. She started exercising during the divorce. She admits that at first, she was obsessed with her weight. However, she eventually realized that they were just numbers and that she would be mentally healthier if she stopped focusing on them. The reason why she got into exercising is that she admits she is a bit of a control freak. In the gym, you know how much you put in and how much you get out of the exercise. The more that you get in, the more that you get out of it.
Khloé Kardashian’s Tips & Equipment

Kardashian also gave some tips for starting out. She reveals that the beginning is the hardest step. She recommends only doing small goals at first to let the body build up muscle. Unrealistic goals just discouraged her from even starting. She also recommends listening to your body. Know when you are actually tired and when you are just making excuses. She also talked about how she pushes herself to do her exercises even if she is having a bad day. Afterward, she always feels better. However, if she decides to skip the exercise that day, she only feels worse about it later.
Khloé Kardashian’s exercise of choice is the rowing machine. She rows with her mother and her sister, Kim. The two of them are actually very competitive on it. They use Hydrow, which is a rowing machine with a tablet screen and has videos with instructors out in the water. However, the Hydrow is quite expensive and has a subscription cost on top of the initial cost to buy the machine.
If there’s ever been a celebrity to idolize in terms of their discipline, it’s obviously Kim Kardashian. The socialite somehow manages to balance her time between mothering four young children, studying law, filming a reality show, running a handful of brands, and of course, keeping her figure looking right and tight. On Saturday (February 18), she gave her followers a preview of how she takes care of the last part.
The 42-year-old posted a mirror selfie with her personal trainer, Senada Greca, yesterday morning. She markedly praised the fitness guru for always inspiring her. “Just trying to be like her today!” the SKIMS founder wrote while showing off her booty in a pair of black leggings. “Crazy workout, even when I was tired and didn’t feel like it I got up and pushed myself.”

As a result, Kardashian says she ended up having one of her “strongest workouts” to date. “Thanks for always pushing me,” she went on to praise her coach. Elsewhere on her Story, the Califonia native revealed some of the exercises that have been helping her. Among them are lateral squats and hip thrusts. She described the latter as “really disturbing” before poking fun at the face she made while bravely pushing through another rep.
During a recent interview with Vogue, Kardashian confirmed that she’s in the gym daily. Most of the time her workouts begin at 5:30 AM. It’s been said that she clocks just five hours of sleep each night. Still, she told the outlet that she’s presently in “the best shape of her life,” even without those extra minutes of beauty slumber.
Besides her undeniably gruelling workouts, the fashionista has also made time for some fun in her life. As DailyMail reports, she put her bikini body on full display in a new out-of-this-world campaign for her shapewear brand earlier this weekend. Afterward, she was seen partying in Vegas alongside her little sister Kendall Jenner and her model friend Hailey Bieber.
The trio stepped out in Sin City to attend the Adele concert. Beforehand they downed some Jell-O shots to help set the mood. She also shared various clips of the English songstress performing on stage, much to fans’ pleasure. See some of the content from Kardashian’s latest trip to Las Vegas below.

There are very few multi-hyphenates as legitimate as Chicago-born artist Common. Depending on where a person is coming from you may know him best from Grammy-winning albums, Oscar-winning songs, best-selling books, or performances in hit feature films like Wanted and John Wick: Chapter 2. Not surprisingly, running several successful careers all at the same time takes a toll on the body and Common’s become a boss at maintaining his health amidst the madness.
“The changes I’ve made over the years give me the power to follow my creativity and have energy still left for my loved ones or passions,” says Common from his temporary residence in Brooklyn.
The actor just wrapped his latest movie Breathe with Jennifer Hudson in Philadelphia and is preparing to recharge his batteries before heading into his next project.
“I’m grateful to have learned these practices and feel like it’s my responsibility to share them with others,” he adds. “Not everyone is the same, but perhaps people will find out what works for them after trying out the routines I’ve developed.”
That concept is being furthered with some special episodes of his wellness series Com + Well. To dive deeper, Uproxx asked the mega-star — who started his solo career three decades ago with Can I Borrow a Dollar? — about how to stay in the health game for your own good.
How did your eating habits look at the beginning of your career?
In the early days of my career, I would eat anything that was available to me. That was a lot of junk food and beer. I’m not saying that wasn’t fun, but it didn’t lend itself to me operating at my best or having the best energy. The first step in my journey was becoming vegetarian, and even when I started doing that it wasn’t in the healthiest way. I was just eating lots of bread, french fries, and pizza.
It was even worse late at night because the vegetarian options were always crazy limited. I didn’t even know what vegetarianism was when I was growing up. But now it’s a way of life for me — I have learned how to do it the right way.
What did you do to better those habits as you grew more focused on being healthier?
Instead of buying a flashy car when I started to make some money, one of the first big things that I spent money on was a chef. I felt like that was the better investment to have good food around when I needed it. My career started to take off and the schedule got insane, so it came so clutch.
I know that not everyone can hire a chef to cook for them, but having that experience brought me to focus on having more fresh-made meals. That is something that anyone and everyone can do as well.
How do you make sure that you are eating cleaner on the road when you are touring or away filming a movie?
Let’s be real, at the beginning of the journey that airplane food is never good for you. And the late-night menus at the hotels don’t have the healthiest options on there either. I really prescribe to bringing and buying my own food as much as possible when I travel. I like to go to the grocery store or the health food store when I arrive in a new city. I always bring my supplements though, so I will take my vitamin C, vitamin B12, chlorella, and spirulina. I also get a turmeric or ginger shot wherever I go. For the most part, you can travel with these little turmeric or ginger shots, so they are great pick-ups to keep around.
One of the best ways I make sure I am cleaner throughout the day is by carrying juices and protein shakes. I also like to have plenty of them around when I’m filming a movie or television show because the food situation on set is always a little challenging.
I believe one of your best action performances was John Wick: Chapter 2, what was it like training for that?
I’ve been having so many people reach out about John Wick saying they want my character Cassian back. The training that we did for that was unlike anything that I had ever done before. We trained hard for like six months. They took me through the basics of the movements that I was going to have to do. I was working with the ladder, doing different movements and motions.
I was training in boxing and jiu-jitsu. I started to really feel like a warrior. Those fighting scenes take a lot of work, which is why I have so much respect for Keanu Reeves.

Do you have any other activities that help keep you fit?
I love playing basketball. I love hooping so that’s my favorite way to burn some calories. I grew up playing basketball and never stopped. I don’t want to spend my entire day staring at a screen. When I feel like I’ve been too still for too long I’ll grab a basketball and go dribble out around the house. Being outside shooting some hoops just makes me feel normal.
I played a basketball player in Just Wright and really invested myself into training for that because I had to look like a pro player. I may have been in the best shape of my life there.
Besides becoming vegetarian, is there anything else you have dramatically changed in your diet that has helped you?
I cut back on my drinking a whole lot. I enjoy still my red wine from time to time, but nothing close to what I used to do. I am on record covers with 40 ounces in my hand. That is a whole different universe to be in and I have been more conscious about taking care of my temple.
How have your sleep habits evolved over your career?
I’ve just started to get better about getting good rest. During the pandemic, I was getting more rest than I ever had because I was finally forced to slow down. During that time I was able to see the benefits that came with that. I don’t need any rituals when it comes to falling asleep man, that’s easy, because I be tired at the end of the day.
I have discovered that turning off all the lights earlier in the day, to get ready for sleep is more conducive to better rest. It’s also important to go to sleep with good thoughts — like it is to wake up with good thoughts.
How do you train when you are on the road?
I don’t compromise on my workouts, especially when it comes to when I’m traveling. For me, a workout is a great way to kick off a day on the road. It allows you to start your day focused, because for that period you aren’t able to be focused on emails or texts, and at the same time taking care of yourself. That is great and pure energy to begin the day with. I think too many people ignore the mental aspect to wellness, and for me time in the gym is also time that I will use to make sure my mind is in the right place.
What do your workouts look like these days?
I have worked a lot of great trainers over the years like Yancy Berry and others. I took bits from the training that they gave me and kept what worked for me. Even if I don’t have all of my equipment around me, there is plenty that I have learned to do with my own body weight. My focus is on strengthening my core. I like to pack resistance bands in my bags and use them when I am traveling in a hotel room. I’ve gotten a great workout this way. I would do burpees or a high-intensity movement like that to finish my cardio.
I always have more energy after a workout than a did before it. I feel the difference.

What do you have back at home to elevate your training sessions?
Back at home, I’ll do workouts with the Bosu Ball. I spent a lot of hours on the Peloton bike when I was quarantined and still do today. That bike took my cardio to another level because those sessions could be absolutely brutal. I would spend some extra time on that Peloton whenever I knew I had to take pictures or had to be shirtless for a movie.
Do you have any bits of advice that you have picked up over the years that have stuck with you?
Dr. Tracey Rico is someone that I leaned on for guidance when it comes to wellness, and she really imparted to me the importance of drinking the right amount of water. She also said how important it was to get a good amount of greens in the diet. Before you start deciding on all fo the things that you are going to take out of your life, first make sure you are putting in the right things. Because it’s important to start building those routines as quickly as possible. We are all creatures of habit, you see it over and over again. If you start drinking more water by having a bottle always with you and eating more greens with every meal it becomes a way of life.
Do you have any rituals that contribute to a positive mindset at the beginning of the day?
One of the things I got to do every day is communicate with God the creator to give thanks for everything that I have. It’s hard to feel like you’re failing when you are properly practicing gratitude. Starting out the day by saying thank you for that morning is a great way to keep the right perspective. I don’t think that a lot of people understand the power of their own thoughts and their own words. Wherever I go and I keep my spiritual text with me, which in my case in the Bible. Everyone has their own path, but for me personally, my path to God is the Bible and the scriptures inside there.
What do you do to keep your mental state healthy as well?
I have developed my own form of meditation that I do regularly. I have had some sessions with Jesse Israel from The Big Quiet, I have taken the lessons I have learned and developed my own process. I like it because it silences my mind and gives me time to set my intentions for the day.
I don’t have a specific amount of time that I try to meditate for. I just try to make sure that I take some sort of time. Some of my meditations can be really quick.
Do you have any things you keep around that help you build a positive space no matter where you go?
I always have Palo Santo sticks on me. I love the smell of them. I found them a few years back and now don’t go anywhere without them. I don’t have any problem getting through TSA with them in my pockets. I will say that I am always careful to tell people when I have my Palo Santo sticks smoking and I am doing a Zoom meeting because of the smoke I think people something a little more recreational, but that is not the case. But they do bring me a lot of peace. It’s important to find things that resonate with you personally, that’s what this journey is all about, and that is what these sticks do for me.
