Miley Cyrus stunned viewers at the Grammy’s last weekend when she showed off her chisled figure.
The 31-year-old singer, who won the award for best record of the year, has gained attention in recent years for her ripped appearance.
The ‘Flowers’ artist reportedly started getting fit around 2012, shortly before she released the controversial hit Wrecking Ball.
Miley has credited pilates for her physique, a 100-year-old collection of full-body exercises that works to build strength and increase muscle stability.
Now, DailyMail.com has spoken to experts who have revealed what kinds of moves Miley could have done to bulk up her arms, which could be achieved in just a few weeks.

Miley has said that she practices pilates and yoga, though experts believe that she is likely lifting weights and doing cardio as well
Joseph Pilates, a German circus performer and boxer, created the core-based, low-impact workout while interned in England during the First World War.
It is based on six key foundation principles: concentration, control, center, flow, precision, and breathing.
The regime was originally meant for prisoners of war to maintain healthy bodies while incarcerated.
However, it’s since transformed into an everyday ‘It Girl’ routine – and it’s also focused on spinal alignment and the tiny muscles that support your musculoskeletal system.
Vivian Yu, Founder of Gym Near Me in Australia, told DailyMail.com: ‘Pilates is an amazing workout for the entire body targeting core strength, flexibility, and overall muscle tone.’

‘It’s not just about a six-pack, Pilates workouts target the entire body as well, exercises involving pushing, pulling, and holding movements engaging the upper body part such as arms.’
‘These movements work the muscles in the arm to build strength and a trimmed appearance.’
In addition to getting chiseled arms, pilates has been shown to relieve pain and improve flexibility.
A 2020 study, for example, found that people who did pilates for eight weeks had less lower back pain. And a review in the Muscle, Ligaments, and Tendons Journal found that the exercise improved spinal posture.
Dr Thanu Jey, medical director and founder at MediBrace in Canada, told DailyMail.com that pilates can burn up to 400 calories per session, ‘making it an effective workout for overall fitness.’

Pilates can usually be done with little to no equipment as well, with moves like wall sits, crunches, and leg raises.
However, experts cautioned that pilates alone is probably not responsible for Miley’s arms.
‘Pilates is not the sole approach for toning the arms,’ Ms Yu said.
‘In addition to that, strength training exercises like dumbbell curls, tricep dips, and push-ups can be quite effective as well.’
‘These exercises target the arm muscles more directly, and when combined with Pilates, can create a well-rounded workout routine that not only tones the arms but enhances overall physical fitness.’

Dr Jey estimated that if you combine pilates and strength training, your muscle mass should increase by about two to three pounds within eight weeks.
Combined with cardio like running, this could go faster, though it depends on your body. Proper nutrition and hydration are also key.
Kamille McCollum, a pilates expert at BODYBAR Pilates, told DailyMail.com: ‘Results like Miley’s come from consistent practice. Integrating Pilates into your routine 3-4 times a week can lead to visible changes in arm definition within a few months.’
‘You need consistent exercise, responsible nutrition, and patience to acquire your toned arms like Miley’s,’ Ms Yu said.
‘Everything is about finding the right mix of habits that would work for your body and sticking to it.’
Whatever your fitness goal, seeing progress when you start working out can take time, yet when we take just a few weeks off, it can feel like starting from scratch again. This can be really frustrating, so fitness experts always say the key to seeing positive results is to enjoy the exercise you’re doing (whether that’s walking workouts, strength training, or Pilates workouts at home) and stay consistent.
Jo Clubb, a sports science consultant and founder of Global Performance Insights, says: “The body is an amazing machine. When you expose it to something new and repeat that stimulus over time, it adapts to make that task feel easier.” But she adds that “how long this takes depends on several factors, such as the type of exercise, the volume and intensity of the training, and the individual’s training history”.
Jo says people who are sedentary or physically inactive have the greatest potential to see change, and this could be as quickly as within one to two weeks. But it’s maintaining a realistic routine that can be hardest, especially if progress stagnates along the way. In a bid to boost exercise motivation to continue exercising throughout 2026, I spoke to some experts to dig a bit deeper into how our bodies change over time and other benefits we can expect.
How long does it take to get fit?
Nicole Chapman, personal trainer and founder of the Power of Mum fitness app, says most people start to feel fitter sooner than they expect. While you might not notice changes such as weight loss or muscle definition, she says that “within 2-3 weeks you might find you have a bit more energy, you are sleeping better, and you ache less”. “Everyday things like stairs or carrying bags can start to feel a little easier too,” she adds.

“Initial improvements to exercise are largely driven by changes in the nervous system,” Jo explains. “The Central Nervous System (CNS) adapts to the new stimulus to try to move more efficiently. You probably haven’t got stronger in the first few weeks at a muscular level, and yet things feel easier.”
It might be someone else, like a friend or partner, who points out physical changes to you at first. Nicole says: “Because we see ourselves every single day, we tend to overanalyse and miss the gradual progress that is happening right in front of us.”
However, this answer varies from person to person and depends on your history of exercising. If you’ve done weight training, running, or another sport before, you’ll regain your fitness faster than those who are completely new. People who are used to weight training will have more muscle flexibility and elasticity than those who haven’t. It may also mean that recovery time is faster.

After 3 months
Weight loss
Your clothes may fit better
More stamina
Better cardiovascular health
If you’ve been exercising consistently for three months, you’ll definitely have started to see some real changes and progress. You might have lost weight and notice that you feel more toned in your legs, arms and core, and your clothes may fit differently.
You might have more stamina when walking the dog, going up stairs may feel easier, and there might be fewer groans when you get in and out of the car or bed.

Your exercise routine will have become a habit, and if you skip a session, you might feel stiff or sluggish. “Emotionally, people often feel steadier and clearer, simply because their body feels more supported,” says Nicole.
“After a few months, more visible and structural changes start to occur. On top of the early neurological changes, the body now adapts on a structural level, increasing in muscle size and strength,” says Jo.
Our cardiovascular fitness also continues to improve, and some people may notice improvements in their resting heart rate. “You may find you can exercise for longer or at a higher intensity, recover more quickly, and feel less breathless during everyday activities,” she says.
After six months
Improved strength, balance, and coordination
Improved core strength
Boosted long-term energy levels and mood
“By six months, there’s often a real step up in how your body feels and performs,” says Nicole. “Strength, balance and coordination are usually much more established, so movement feels more controlled and powerful, rather than like hard work.”
She adds that you might see improvements in your core strength in particular, which can mean the back feels more supported and aches are reduced. “Many people also notice they move with more ease and confidence because their body feels stable and reliable,” she adds.

She says people often find they feel more energised and feel more positive.
The key to progress is consistency, so find an activity you like – that way you’re more likely to do it frequently.

After 12 months
Improved strength and endurance
Quicker recovery after each workout
More confidence
A year in, your life will be looking very different. Your “strength and endurance are usually significantly higher than when you began, and recovery tends to be quicker,” says Nicole. “Your muscles, joints and connective tissues are now working together more efficiently, which gives a sense of physical resilience,” she adds.
However, one of the biggest differences after a year will be internal. “Many people feel connected to their body in a different way, with a sense of stability and confidence that comes from looking after it consistently over time,” she says. At this point, set yourself a goal, such as an organised run or a strength milestone like your first push-up or pull-up. “Having something positive to progress towards can be a great way to celebrate how far you have already come.”

It’s also important to keep pushing yourself, if you want to continue to see results. This doesn’t always mean exercising harder, says Jo, but instead “gently progressing the type, amount, or intensity of activity to keep the body adapting”.
Tips for getting fit in 2026
1. SPORT
No, I’m not talking about taking up a new hobby. Jo uses the acronym S-P-O-R-T in her work as a sports scientist to help clients understand their body’s response to exercise.
If you’re looking to improve your fitness, it’s a good set of guidelines to refer to:
Specific (S): The body will adapt based on what it’s being asked to do whether this is functional exercise, or strength training.
Progressive Overload (PO): If you want to continue to improve then you need to graually increase the stimulus.
Reversibility (R): If you don’t use it, you lose it! While it doesn’t always need to be focused on getting fitter, you’ll always need to maintain your exercise to keep those gains.
Tedium (T): Training needs variety, otherwise people get bored and the risk of injury can increase due to overuse.
Keep your goals realistic
When you set any goal, whether it’s for fitness, your career, eating habits, social life, or something else, the key is to keep it realistic. If you’ve struggled to do 10 minutes of exercise every day in the past, don’t set yourself the goal of working out every single day.
Instead, focus on what you can do. For example, can you get outside for a 15-minute walk every day or get your 10,000 steps in at home? If you can’t get to the gym, can you do a quick kettlebell workout before you start work or have breakfast?
Small habits over time build consistency, which builds confidence in ourselves, and we’re more likely to follow through.

Nicole agrees. “Short, manageable workouts that you repeat regularly will take you much further than pushing yourself hard and then stopping because it feels unsustainable,” she says.
Prioritise small bursts of activity
Most of us don’t have time to be in the gym for hours at a time (and we don’t need to be!). Small bursts of activity, sometimes known as exercise snacking, have been proven to be almost as effective as dedicated exercise sessions in a study in Exercise and Sports Sciences Review.
Dr Reem Hasan, NHS GP and chief medical officer at Vista Health, says: “Start with something manageable like a short walk during your lunch break, stretching before bed, or taking the stairs instead of the lift. These small bursts of activity add up and make movement part of your lifestyle rather than a short-term resolution.”
Get stronger
If you want to get fitter in 2026 but you’re not sure where to start, weight training is essential for women over 50. From the age of 35, we start to lose muscle and bone mass. With menopause, the rate increases.
Simply lifting weights at home, doing Pilates with weights, or getting in a dumbbell gym workout can improve strength, boost bone density, reduce the risk of muscle loss, and, contrary to popular belief, give your cardiovascular system a boost as well.

Lifting weights means you can do everything you want with better control and stability outside of the gym, whether that’s navigating an uneven path on a hike this year or getting on the floor to play with your grandchildren in the future.
W&H editors’ essential recommendations
Weights
SPORTNOW
Adjustable Dumbbells Set 2kg/4kg/6kg/8kg/10kg Weights
Really, all it takes to get stronger and improve your cardiovascular fitness is a set of weights, says woman&home health channel editor and fitness instructor, Grace Walsh. Adjustable dumbbells like these mean you can use them for upper- and lower-body workouts, and take the weight up as you get stronger without having to spend more. You can do a dumbbell workout at home to start off with.
Fitness tracker
Progress will be your biggest motivator if you’re new to exercise. As good as it feels to plug in your exercise headphones and get out the door, it feels even better to know that you’re doing better than last week. One of the best fitness trackers can log your progress and offer this.

Support
Shock Absorber
D+ Max Support Bra
When it comes to activewear, I’m a big believer in working with what you have until you need something new. A good sports bra, especially if you have a larger chest, is essential, however. My favourite is the Shock Absorber D+ Support bra.
As people return to gyms or start new fitness routines in the new year, new research suggests that even a short burst of intense exercise could play a role in protecting against cancer. Scientists report that as little as 10 minutes of hard physical activity may help slow cancer growth.
The study found that brief, vigorous exercise quickly changes the mix of molecules circulating in the bloodstream. These rapid shifts appear to suppress bowel cancer cell growth while also speeding up the repair of damaged DNA.
How Exercise Changes the Bloodstream
Researchers at Newcastle University discovered that exercise raises the levels of several small molecules in the blood. Many of these molecules are known to reduce inflammation, support healthy blood vessels, and improve metabolism.
When scientists exposed bowel cancer cells in the lab to blood containing these exercise-driven molecules, they observed widespread genetic changes. More than 1,300 genes shifted their activity, including genes involved in DNA repair, energy production, and cancer cell growth.

Published in the International Journal of Cancer, the findings help clarify how physical activity may lower bowel cancer risk. The research shows that exercise sends molecular signals through the bloodstream that influence genes controlling tumor growth and genetic stability.
The results add to growing evidence that staying physically active is an important part of cancer prevention.
New Possibilities for Cancer Treatment
Dr. Sam Orange, Senior Lecturer in Clinical Exercise Physiology at Newcastle University and lead author of the study, said: “What’s remarkable is that exercise doesn’t just benefit healthy tissues, it sends powerful signals through the bloodstream that can directly influence thousands of genes in cancer cells.
“It’s an exciting insight because it opens the door to find ways that mimic or augment the biological effects of exercise, potentially improving cancer treatment and, crucially, patient outcomes.

“In the future, these insights could lead to new therapies that imitate the beneficial effects of exercise on how cells repair damaged DNA and use fuel for energy.”
Slowing Cancer Growth at the Cellular Level
The research team found that exercise increased the activity of genes that support mitochondrial energy metabolism. This helps cells use oxygen more efficiently.
At the same time, genes linked to rapid cell division were turned down, which may make cancer cells less aggressive. Blood collected after exercise also boosted DNA repair, activating a key repair gene known as PNKP.
The study included 30 volunteers, both men and women between the ages of 50 and 78. All participants were overweight or obese (a risk factor of cancer) but otherwise healthy.

Each volunteer completed a short but intense cycling test that lasted about 10 minutes. Researchers then collected blood samples and examined 249 proteins. Thirteen of those proteins increased after exercise, including interleukin-6 (IL-6), which plays a role in repairing damaged DNA.
Why Even One Workout Matters
Dr. Orange, a Clinical Exercise Physiologist at The Newcastle upon Tyne Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said: “These results suggest that exercise doesn’t just benefit healthy tissues, it may also create a more hostile environment for cancer cells to grow.
“Even a single workout can make a difference. One bout of exercise, lasting just 10 minutes, sends powerful signals to the body.
“It’s a reminder that every step, every session, counts when it comes to doing your best to protect your health.”

Bowel Cancer Rates and Physical Activity
Bowel cancer is the 4th most common cancer in the UK, after breast, prostate and lung cancer.
In the UK, one person is diagnosed with bowel cancer every 12 minutes, adding up to nearly 44,000 cases each year. Someone dies from the disease every 30 minutes.
Researchers estimate that regular physical activity lowers bowel cancer risk by about 20%. Exercise does not have to mean gym workouts or sports. Walking or biking to work, along with everyday activities such as gardening or cleaning, can also contribute.
Looking ahead, the research team plans to examine whether repeated exercise sessions lead to long-lasting biological changes. They also aim to study how exercise-related effects interact with common cancer treatments such as chemotherapy and radiotherapy.
The start of a new year always brings with it lofty goals, inspiring resolutions and promises to oneself about prioritizing health and fitness. It’s overwhelming, to be quite honest, with social media feeds swarming about all the “it” gear, apparel and workout classes that promise to elevate your fitness routine.
Luckily, Women’s Health is here to help: Their annual Fitness Awards dropped earlier today, showcasing innovative at-home gear, a clever water bottle (that will truly help you drink more water), sports bras that actually stay in place and more.
Women’s Health Executive Health and Fitness Director Jacqueline Andriakos and her team spent the entire year trying out everything they could get their hands on in the fitness space. Their list of 60 winners promises to level up your routine in the new year.
See their top picks below across multiple fitness categories, starting at just $19.

Weights:2, 3, 5, 8, 10, 12, 15 and 20-lb. options available | Colors:4 | Materials:Iron interior coated in a non-slip coating
Level up your at-home gym with these dumbbells that feature an easy-to-grip exterior that’s soft on the palms, helping to prevent calluses or rough skin. Not only are they great for your palms, but Andriakos calls out a feature that offers support for your wrists too.
“The real hero feature is the square heads — they prevent wobbling and rolling, which is so important for wrist protection when you’re in high plank, doing renegade rows, or doing any stability-based training,” says Andriakos.
These pants are a good cross between your favorite pair of wide leg bottoms and yoga pants.
Sizes:XS-XXL, also available in regular, short and long lengths | Colors:22 | Materials:Polyamide and elastane fabric blend
“We’re seeing a trend away from classic leggings toward slightly flowier gym-to-street pants, and these are such a comfortable, functional version of that,” says Andriakos referring to the Women’s Health pick for ‘Best Straight-Leg Bottom.’ “They hug in all the right places, come in tons of colors, and — bless them — they offer short, regular and long inseams, which I appreciate as a tall girl.”

Your workout is only as good as the shoes you’re wearing. This pair can carry you through it all, according to the brand, no matter if you’re doing a HIIT workout or going for a quick run.
Colors:2 | Sizes:5-12, including half sizes
This truly versatile shoe can be your new go-to for any activity — no matter if you’re an avid ClassPass user or prefer hot girl walks.
“They look sleek, they’re super bendy and comfortable, and they’re truly a hybrid shoe,” says Andriakos. “While you can tie them like regular sneakers, I love that they’re easy to slip on thanks to the heel loop—perfect for those moments when I’m holding my daughter and don’t have hands free to tie laces.”
Toting your gym shoes and extra clothes from home, to the office, to the gym and back home just got a lot simpler.
This “no-frills” tote bag won for ‘Best Gym Tote,’ and is washable, meaning you can rid it of any gym-related odors alongside your used workout clothes each week. “It has all the functionality and compartments you’d want whether you’re going to and from the gym or just running around town,” says Andriakos, speaking to the bags’ versatility.

These socks are perfect for running because they never slip or move around.
Colors:3 | Sizes:4 – 13 | Material:58% polyester, 22% nylon, 16% cotton and 4% elastane | Care recommendations:Machine wash cold on gentle cycle
These were named the ‘Best Running Sock’ by the Women’s Health team, for their “lightweight and low-profile yet cushiony” fit.
“The biggest mistake I’ve made in the past with running socks is wearing ankle-cut and ending up with blisters or open wounds on the back of my ankles or heels,” says Andriakos. “The quarter rise on this pair means your ankle stays fully protected no matter your distance.”
Reach daily water intake goals with a new, colorful water bottle.
Size:27 oz. | Colors:19 | Materials:Glass covered in a silicone “sleeve”
“I really believe even the most mundane items can make daily habits — like hydration — feel more enticing,” says Andriakos, adding that the “window” on this water bottle helps give you visual cues on how much you’ve consumed.

Aptly named, this tee promises to remain lightweight and non-restrictive during any workout.
Colors:12 | Sizes:XXS-XXL | Materials:Polyester and spandex fabric blend
This super-stretchy, uber-lightweight tee was named the best for workouts, per Women’s Health. It provides a little more coverage compared to your average workout top, yet remains breathable for yoga or HIIT sessions.
With medium support, this bra promises to remain reliable during high-impact workouts.
Colors:15 | Sizes:XXS-XL
“This bra is hands-down the best high-impact sports bra I’ve ever tried,” raves Andriakos, further calling it her holy grail. “I can’t stand dealing with hardware, clasps or removable pads, and this one eliminates all of that — you just slip it on with zero fidgeting. It does have adjustable straps, though, so you still get a bit of customization in the fit. I also love the scoop neckline. It’s flattering and pretty without being too low-cut, and it gives enough coverage that I never feel like I’m spilling out the top when I’m jumping around during workouts. It has supported me through different life stages, too — my chest has changed sizes during pregnancy and postpartum, and it’s fit me perfectly through all of it.”

Feel secure and supported in this “sleek” bra that’s long enough to act as a workout top as well.
Colors:5 | Sizes:XXS-L | Materials:Polyester and elastane fabric blend
While this bra can double as a workout tank in some ways, Women’s Health awarded it ‘Best Crop.’ It offers medium-support, that the brand says will aid you in any run, rep and even during recovery.
This versatile mat can be folded and unfolded to aid you in multiple workouts — from yoga to lunges, planks and more.
Colors:5 | Size:68” x 24” | Material:EVA, polyurethane
Bala prioritizes “comfort and convenience” in this mat, that they created to be a one-and-done solution for when you need a basic mat for floor workouts, or an assist during planks, lunges, step-ups and more.
“It is genuinely beautiful — and I know that sounds funny when talking about workout equipment, but you really do use the gear that appeals to you,” says Andriakos. “I love aesthetically pleasing equipment, and this mat has those chic curved edges and comes in that trendy foldable style.”

Thanks to their 4-way stretch, these leggings move with you rather than restricting you throughout your workout or daily activities.
Sizes:XXS-XXL, also available in short, regular and long inseams | Colors:5 | Materials:Recycled polaymide and elastane fabric blend
Vuori is a viral brand — with searches for store locations spiking 180% over the past month alone. These leggings are designed with recycled materials, but that doesn’t mean they compromise on moisture-wicking and multi-stretch features.
“They’re incredibly comfortable (and flattering) with the perfect mid- to high-rise waist, and there are no uncomfortable elastics or drawstrings,” says Andriakos.
The brand brags about utilizing a “fast-drying” fabric to create these leggings — helping wick away sweat faster compared to other pairs.
Colors:8 | Sizes:0-20, also available in 23, 25, 28 and 31″ inseam options | Materials:Nylon and lycra elastane fabric blend
Want a versatile pair of leggings that will carry you through any and all workouts? Women’s Health recommends this now award-winning pair, for its moisture-wicking fabric, range of sizes and comfortable, high-rise fit.

Remain cozy and comfortable with this polyester fleece jacket, that includes a high neckline for shielding cold weather.
“I get a comment every single time I wear this fleece,” says Andriakos. “I’ve washed it dozens of times now, and it still feels just as soft, even after going through the washer and the dryer. I also love the elastic at the waist because you can cinch it for a more flattering, cozy look while keeping in extra heat. It’s stylish, eye-catching and helps me feel put-together in my activewear life.”
This handheld gadget is perfect for relieving muscle pain and soreness.
Features:3 speeds to alternate between, rechargeable, comes with a travel case
Chirp is also a Shop TODAY-favorite brand (their roller was a Gift We Love in 2025!), so its safe to say we weren’t surprised to see it earn another award, this time for their miniature massage gun.
“The Chirp Mini massager blends the percussion of a massage gun with the rolling motion of a foam roller,” says Andriakos. “It provides targeted relief to sore body parts and with three adjustable speeds, it’s gentler than other techy massage tools but still allows you to get meaningful relief.”
