Bodybuilder Natalie Eva Marie in Two-Piece Workout Gear Does "Easy 5K" on Election Day

Natalie Eva Marie is going for a run in her workout gear. In a new social media post the bodybuilder shows off her amazing body in a two-piece exercise set while getting her cardio in. "WE GOT IT IN THIS MORNING 🐺🏃🏻‍♀️🇺🇸 nice easy 5k followed by some STAIRS!" she captioned the Instagram post. "Motivation. Your dog looks ripped to🔥🙌" one of her followers commented. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

"Nutrition can be intimidating, but it doesn't have to be. There are certain foods I can eat, and certain amounts of them I can eat. It's like balancing a checkbook. You budget so you can splurge on something you really want," she told GQ. "At first, I tried things like inputting fat and carbohydrate and protein grams into my phone, but that really just stressed me out because I was thinking way too much— when all of a sudden, my fats were too high, or I had eaten too many carbs, or my calories had exceeded the number I had in mind for the day. Once I started to take away the pressure to hit an exact amount and instead focused on rough estimates, it started to become less stressful."

She also relies on a "meal-prep company, which meant I didn't have to think too much about where I would go, or which grocery store had rotisserie chicken, or what restaurant could make me a salad," she says. "I was just able to bring food that was already packaged for me. Waiting too long to eat can be a trap, especially after an event. I would eat my pre-planned meals every three hours while traveling just so I wouldn't hit that 'I'm starving' point by the time we arrived at the hotel."

Natalie also detailed her diet to GQ. "I'll wake up and have a protein shake or a veggie egg white omelet. The rest of the day is pretty much salad and grilled chicken. I really love fruit, too, because I have a sweet tooth. I wish that I didn't, but fruit helps me deal with it," she writes. "I do cheat, though. I kind of go by an 80/20 rule. 80 percent of the time, I'm pretty good. Otherwise, I allow myself—especially during the holiday season—to live a little! It's not going to hurt."

She also practices intermittent fasting, "in which case I won't have my first meal until around two in the afternoon," she says. "I do it about two to three times a week. I have a lot of stomach issues, just from when I was a little kid, and fasting helps with my digestive system. I really enjoy it, but first, see if your body can handle it. A lot of people have trouble because they're so focused on the idea of 'I can't eat for this certain amount of time,' and then they can't function. The key for me is making sure I'm taking a branched-chain amino acids supplement. When I'm fasting, I'll take BCAAs in the morning before my workout, and again afterwards. Doing that helps me avoid feeling tired or lethargic."

Eva's "workouts have definitely changed," she says. "In WWE, I focused more on Olympic lifting. I had to make sure that I was physically able to lift another human being at all times. Now, I'm going for a different, leaner look. High-intensity interval training and Tabata workouts are really good for me, because they prevent me from getting bored, and don't require me to be in the gym for two hours. I can get in, do what I need to do, and get out."
