Hailey Bieber channels Princess Diana in new Vogue shoot
Hailey Bieber paid homepage to the late Princess Diana in her latest Vogue shoot. The 22-year-old supermodel looked uncanny to the Princess of Wales in a series of photos, replicating some of Diana's most iconic off-duty looks.
Hailey Bieber may know how to look stylish during a workout, but her fitness accessories include more than just cute pairs of leggings.
She recently hit the gym with her stylist Maeve Reilly, who shared clips of their sweat sesh on her Instagram Stories.
Under the guidance of Dogpound trainer Kevin Mejia, Bieber and Reilly performed a series of donkey kicks—but ICYMI, the duo's lower-body workout included a piece of workout equipment you might never have considered using: ankle weights.

Donkey kicks (named after the way donkeys kick their hind legs, FYI) are powerful compound exercises that help you target more than just the muscles in your legs and glutes, says Rocky Snyder, C.S.C.S., a Santa Cruz-based strength coach.
"Most Americans spend way too much time sitting in a hip-flexed position," he explains. "Donkey kicks encourage just the opposite action (an extension of the hips) to occur. By performing the donkey kicks on the hands and one knee, it also encourages more involvement of the muscles between the ribs and hips," meaning it can work both your core and your butt.

Hailey Bieber's Wedding Earrings Might Look Simple, but They Actually Cost Six Figures
Hailey Bieber married Justin while wearing Tiffany & Co. studs, which were made of platinum and diamonds and cost over $100,000.Although Mrs. Bieber's earrings looked fairly simple in some post-wedding photos shared by Justin, they were actually a platinum pair from Tiffany & Co. which included diamonds that were over 5 carats. According to a press release, those babies ring in at a cool $123,000 — so we really hope the bride kept excellent track of them when hitting the dance floor. (We're nervous just thinking about wearing something that expensive.
As with any exercise, proper form is crucial, explains Snyder. You'll want to keep your spine—especially the lower back—from dipping down as the leg raises, he says. "The goal is to extend at the hip joint, not at the spine," he adds. "If the spine moves more, then it becomes a lower-back exercise, not a butt exercise."
But exercises like donkey kicks can easily be taken to the next level by adding ankle weights into the mix. Not only are they versatile and easy to take on-the-go, but ankle weights also allow you to maintain a good range of motion and rotation compared to traditional weight equipment, which is especially beneficial for exercises involving the hips, Holly Perkins, C.S.C.S., author of Lift to Get Lean, previously told us. "The hip is a 'ball joint' that moves in all directions," Perkins explained. "It's important to strengthen the numerous movement patterns and large and small muscles that are at play."
Kylie Jenner wore a gold dress with a daring cutout and slit to Justin Bieber and Hailey Baldwin's wedding, but some don't think it's appropriate
Kylie Jenner accessorized the single-shoulder gown made from a foil-like fabric with a butterfly-shaped clutch designed by Judith Leiber Couture.On Tuesday, Jenner shared four photos of the golden gown she appears to have worn to the Biebers' reception. Her vintage dress, made from a foil-like material, was designed by J'Aton Couture. The single-shoulder gown also featured a daring cutout across the chest, as well as a thigh-high slit.
While Bieber's stylist wore her weights around her ankles, Bieber's were secured just above her knees. "The major difference between having the weight at the ankle instead of near the hip is how much the calf and hamstring muscles are involved," explains Snyder. "The closer the weight is toward the ankle, the more likely the calf and hamstring muscles will help out. This will reduce the intensity of gluteal work. The closer the weight is toward the back of the knee, the more likely the glutes will be isolated."
Translation: If you want your donkey kicks to really work your glutes, strap on a pair of ankle weights and slide those bad boys up toward your knees. (Related: The Butt Workout with Weights That'll Sculpt Your Best Butt Ever)
It's not clear what type of ankle weights Bieber was using in her workout, but if you're simply looking for a solid pair to get you started, Snyder recommends Valeo Adjustable Ankle/Wrist Weights (Buy It, $18-$30, amazon.com), which come in pairs of 5-, 10-, or 20-pound weights. They're also adjustable, so you can vary the amount of weight used for increased or decreased resistance, depending on the particular exercise or your own abilities.

Demi Lovato shared this weighted squat video on Snapchat and had us immediately adding more weight to our squats. Yes, it helps build strong and sexy glutes, but research shows adding in a few sets of weighted squats a few days a week helps strengthen your bones too.

Ellie Goulding is all about strong over skinny and, as evidenced from her Instagram, always up for a new challenge, whether it's adding weights to her sit-ups to help sculpt her killer six-pack, or doing a weighted wall sit to target her quads, hamstrings, and glutes. (We aren't sure if that's 50 pounds or kilograms, but either way, damn!)
Kate Upton's trainer posted this video of the model as she supersets heavy landmine reverse lunges (and shows off some dance moves!). Up next: Check out the Celebrities Who Aren't Afraid to Break a Sweat.
When it comes to fitness, Brie Larson is nothing short of a beast. Over the past year, the actress has gotten insanely strong prepping for her role as Captain Marvel. We're talking upside-down indoor rock climbing, pull-ups with steel chains, and insane abs workouts that will have you feeling sore just watching. She's been been wowing us with her ability to hip thrust 275-pound and 400-pound weights, so clearly this girl isn't afraid to lift heavy. (Feeling inspired? Here's how to perform a barbell hip thrust—and why you should.)
Emma Stone is known for her pretty svelte figure but the actress gained 15 pounds of muscle for her role in Battle of the Sexes, all thanks to some serious heavy lifting. While she didn't love upping the weights at first, she got to the point where she was like, "Can we do more? How strong can we get?" her trainer Jaso Walsh previously told us.

The Beckhams Went Trick-Or-Treating At Justin Bieber's House And He Gave Out Snow Cones
That's fine. I'm fine.David Beckham took to his Instagram stories last night to share all the spooky shenanigans his kids were up to. He showed them (and him!) dressed up in their costumes (Harper as Billie Eilish takes the cake, obv), and how they ended up at Justin Bieber's house while they were making their trick-or-treating rounds.
Even though she's far past training for BOTS, Stone continues to lift heavy and loves it. "She likes it now, it feels good," Walsh told us. "Now she equates the strength training with being healthy and pain-free and living a better quality of life."
Alison Brie didn't mess around when it came to prepping for season two of her hit show GLOW. The actress previously mastered all the strength training basics with her trainer Jason Walsh while prepping for season one so training for season two was all about upping the ante. That included things like 200-pound deadlifts, heavy hip thrusts, front squats, weighted bear crawl sled drags and weighted pull-ups, Walsh previously told us. "We would start with a 10-pound weight vest and work up to a 20-pound weight vest, then a kettlebell around the waist," he said.
While her hard work in the gym has definitely scored her the physique of a female wrestler, she's also gained some body confidence along the way. "She's really proud of where she's at, very comfortable and confident-more so than ever before," Walsh told us. "It comes from being proud of what she's been able to accomplish and what's in the mirror."
TV personality Jeannie Mai made headlines last year after opening up about her 17-pound weight gain. After over a decade of focusing on being "skinny" and being a self-proclaimed cardio bunny, Mai fell in love with lifting as it helped her appreciate her body in new ways. "You just feel so victorious after lifting heavy," she previously told us. "There's something so gratifying about testing your strength and feeling surprised by it. It makes you realize that there's no limit to what your body can do if you put your mind to it."
At 50, Jennifer Lopez Tones Her Butt And Thighs By Doing 270-Pound Leg Presses
Jennifer Lopez, 50, shared her butt and leg workout on Instagram. She filmed herself doing leg presses with three 45-pound weights on each side."Just another Tuesday... After work workout. ????????," she captioned her post.
Looking for other exercises you can do with ankle weights? No problem: Snyder says they're such a versatile type of gym gear, they can really be used with almost any strengthening exercise. "If we consider the underlying purpose of ankle weights (to add a higher level of resistance than normal bodyweight can provide), then they can potentially be incorporated into any movement in a person's workout routine," he explains. Here are a few ideas to get you started:
Downward Dog with Leg Raise
Snyder recommends wearing ankle weights while doing this traditional yoga pose, which involves starting in a downward dog position, then "lifting one leg [at a time] high off the floor above the hip." However, it's important to make sure you've mastered the correct form of this movement before adding the ankle weights, adds Snyder. "It's essential that you have the strength and control of your own bodyweight in any exercise before you begin to add external loads," he advises. (Related: How to Transition Between Yoga Poses with Grace)
Curtsy Lunge
For this hip-strengthening curtsy lunge variation, you'll want to wear an ankle weight around one ankle and the other weight around your wrist on the same side, explains Snyder. "With the loaded leg, reach back behind the body as far back as possible while taking the same-side arm up overhead as high as possible."
Plank Reach
Start in plank position, says Snyder. "Take the ankle weight in one hand and place it as far as you can reach (safely) away from the body [in any direction]. Then use the opposite hand to bring the ankle weight back from that spot and place it in a completely different location almost out of reach. This move will really challenge your coordination while strengthening your upper and lower body at the same time."

Justin Bieber: like Michael Jackson, he sleeps in an oxygen chamber! (PHOTO)
It's no secret: Justin Bieber goes bad. At the point where the Canadian singer just announced on his account Instagram he put his career in parentheses. Aim of this break: to cure psychological disorders so strong that he was almost unable to complete his last world tour.
Determined to end his dark thoughts, 's fiancé Hailey Baldwin consults and takes time for him to "become a good husband and a good father". And he is apparently ready to experiment with the most daring techniques to get better. In recent days, his fiancée has indeed filmed him while sleeping in an oxygen chamber like Michael Jackson. "Sleep well my love," she told him in the most natural way in an Instagram story republished on the site The Blast .
The oxygen chamber is usually used to relieve big patients like burns. Justin Bieber would use it for his alleged virtues in the fight against post-traumatic stress. Renting such equipment costs a whopping $ 800 a day. A straw for the singer ...
