MMA Fighter Katharina Lehner in Two-Piece Workout Gear Loves "Girls Who Workout"

Katharina Lehner is boxing in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the MMA fighter shows off her flat abs and fit figure in a crop top and leggings while fighting. "Always a place to get a workout in #boxing #girlswhoworkout," she captioned the set of Instagram snaps. "GO HARD OR GO HOME," commented one of her followers, while others added fire emojis. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Mixed martial arts (MMA) is Katharina's go-to sport. What are the health benefits? Studies confirm that the practice helps with balance, cognitive function and psychological health in addition to weight loss and physical fitness.

Katharina recently competed in a Power Slap bout. "fun experience this weekend. Never thought I'll let someone hit me without having the chance to defend myself but here we are. Life would be way more boring without being open to try new things. Unfortunately I got disqualified for clubbing, focusing too much on not to pivot and lift my heels. August sounds good? @powerslap," she captioned a post. "Power Slap is the world's premier slap fighting organization, licensed and sanctioned by the Nevada State Athletic Commission," the franchise, owned by Ultimate Fighting Championship chief executive officer Dana Whit explains. "Power Slap features competitors from across the globe battling on the ultimate stage to showcase their power, technique and resolve."

One of Katharina's training methods is jump roping. "Not only can the repetitive movement of skipping rope elevate your heart rate, work muscles in the arms and legs and burn calories, it may even provide a quick jolt of joy," says Nike.

Katharina is a big fan of cold plunging. "Start your day off on a bold note! 🥶✨There's no better way to wake up they say. I still prefer coffee and a podcast tho 😭Who's better than me? ❄️💪 #coldtherapy," she captioned a post. There is limited research supporting the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increased focus, improved sleep, and decreased inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes basic post-sport recovery.

In her recent post Katharina boxes. Harvard Health maintains that boxing is a great way to build strength, improve balance, posture, hand-eye coordination, boost mood and endurance, and helps increase alertness.
