Alex Morgan Wears Workout Shirt For Weight-Training Routine

Morgan Lake is training in her new Puma workout gear. In a recent social media post the Olympian shows off her amazing body in a few different workout ensembles. “Thank you Doha 💎 season started 🫡+ in love with the @pumarunning kit this year,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps and videos. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Protein and Carbs

Morgan is all about nutrition and fueling her body with everything it needs to perform. “The week before a big competition it’s really important to get enough protein to refuel after your training sessions and enough carbohydrates, normally 48 hours before the competition to ensure you’ve got enough energy. Obviously, a competition can last up to two hours, or even more, so that’s probably the most important thing,” she told Red Bull.

2. Here Is What She Eats in a Day

“For breakfast I usually have avocado on toast, with either smoked salmon or egg, so I’ve always got carbs, fat and protein first thing in the morning,” she says. Lunch, “depends on what day it is, so if I’m training again that afternoon I’ll probably have something a bit higher in carbohydrates, like a chicken pesto wrap or tabbouleh and falafel,” she says. “Dinner is where I try and get protein in, so I have something like salmon or a tuna steak with sweet potato and veg.”

3. Chicken and Carbs the Night Before a Competition

The evening before a big competition, she has a go-to formula. “It depends. I’ll usually have something like chicken and then some sort of carb – maybe sweet potato or pasta, or a wrap. That’s what I tend to go towards but there’s nothing in particular I always have. Nothing too exciting!” she says.

4. 4 to 5 Workouts a Week

Morgan exercises almost every day. “ I'm working out four or five days a week for about two and a half hours at a time. It's a mix of circuit training, speed work, technical work on things like javelin [running and throwing a spear] and endurance. I have different coaches for different events, like a sprint coach and a high jump coach. My dad oversees the whole program to make sure everything is balanced,” she told SELF.

5. Stretching

Morgan also stretches to prevent injury. “For me releasing tight hip flexors is one of the most important things. I do this by doing lying hip rotations, open lizard stretch and a kneeling lunge. These stretches help me to relax after an intense workout session and also prevent injuries. After every workout session – whether running or training – you should make sure that you stretch properly and have a bit of a cool down,” she told Elle.

How She Got Into Fitness

Alice recently told her fitness story to Simply Shredded. “I started to take training serious about three years ago, but before that I had always been athletic. When I was a kid I used to play several sports including volleyball, basketball and soccer. A couple of years later I decided to train with a personal trainer as my goal was to get in shape for summer. However after 1 year of intense training and strict dieting my trainer and I realized I had already achieved a competition body, so I decided to take the risk and enter a competition,” she said.

It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.

Lexi Thompson is getting her sweat on – at a hotel. In a new social media post the golfer shows off her amazing body during a grueling workout. “Hotel gym workout,” she captioned the mirror selfie. How does the athlete approach health and wellness? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits – including her diet and workout routine.

1. Golf

Lexi spends most of her time on the golf course, perfecting her swing. Golf's health benefits are extensive, including mind, body, and even lifespan, according to a comprehensive review published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. Benefits include improved longevity, decreased risk of developing heart disease or suffering a stroke, good mental health, and improved strength and balance.

2. Sled Pulling

During an interview with Holly Sonders and Gary Williams, Lexi discussed her love-hate relationship with a particular exercise. “Sled pulling is pretty hard,” she confessed. “That is something interesting, and my trainer puts a good amount of weight on the sled,” she added. “It is very difficult, but I love it. I love training and just knowing I can improve on my fitness is very important to me.”

3. Core Strength

Lexi also explained that she improved her core strength in the gym, which helped a lot with her golf swing and self-esteem. “I feel a lot better about myself,” she said.

4. Special Diet Before Events

When she is playing a golf event, Lexi follows a special diet, which includes a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, protein bars, and beef jerky. She revealed that Tiger Woods suggested it to keep her calories and energy levels up.

5. Intense Exercise Sessions at the Gym

In one of her workout videos, Lexi revealed her intense routine. It included squats with a kettlebell. “Feet shoulder width apart, feet a little toed out. Ensure good posture — header, chest out. And squeeze at the top,” she said in the clip. Then she did 10 single-leg deadlifts per side using a kettlebell. “Good posture, keep your core tight and really focus on your balance,” she said. Next up, hip rotation using a band. “Really focus on keeping your balance as you rotate that hip. Keep it nice and slow and controlled,” she suggested. She ends the video with a monster walk.

Hugh Jackman is back in Wolverine shape – and showing off her guns at the gym. In a new social media post, the buff star shows off his muscles and his moves during a grueling workout at the gym. “No days off - except for tomorrow. 💪🏻#becomingwolverineagain,” he captioned the Instagram video of himself doing arm curls. What else is the 55 year-old star doing to get into superhero shape? Celebwell has the details.

1. Lifting (Heavy) Weights

In another Instagram video, Jackman executed some pretty impressive deadlifts, using a trap bar. How much weight did he lift? It appeared to be over 150 pounds.

2. 8,000 Meals a Day

Jackman has revealed that he’s on an 8,000 calorie per day diet, sharing his meal prep boxes on Instagram. Each of the meal was labeled with the calorie count. Black bass (2,000 calories), Patagonia salmon (2,100 calories), two chicken burgers (around 1,000 calories each) and two grass-fed sirloins (1,100 calories each). “Bulking. A day in the life. Thank you Chef Mario for helping me stay healthy and properly fed whilst … Becoming. Wolverine. Again,” he captioned the post.

3. Building Muscle Over Time

During an interview on HBO Max’s Who’s Talking To Chris Wallace, Jackman revealed that he was planning on gradually bulking up after his Broadway stint on The Music Man. “I’ve learned you can’t rush it. I’ve learned that it takes time. So we have six months from when I finish [The Music Man] to when I started filming. And I’m not doing any other work. I’m going to be with my family and train. That’s going to be my job for six months.”

4. Dancing

Hugh spent a lot of time dancing leading up to the Music Man, and he claims he slimmed down fast. “When I dance I drop muscle very quickly,” he told LA Times. “The body is very smart and efficient, and a traditional dancer’s body is not going to be bulked up on top because they’re muscles that you don’t really need.”

5. No Steroid, Just Chickens

One thing you won’t find Jackman doing is taking steroids. “Over the years people have wondered, did he juice?” Wallace asked during the interview. “Did he take steroids?” Jackman denied it. “No, I love my job. And I love Wolverine,” he responded. “I got to be careful what I say here, but I had been told anecdotally what the side effects are of that. And I was like, ‘I don’t love it that much.’ So no, I just did it the old school way. And I tell you, I’ve eaten more chickens — I’m so sorry to all the vegans and vegetarians and to the chickens of the world. Literally the karma is not good for me.”

British TV presenter Davina McCall is 56 and in the best shape of her life—thanks to some super fun fitness challenges she shares online. McCall posted a video of herself wearing two-piece burgundy workout gear, doing a mat workout with dumbbells. “Okay, that was the third session of a stronger you challenge on @ownyourgoalsdavina I have to say I’m really enjoying this challenge. It’s really highlighted a training need. I totally have to ramp up my strength training but it is amazing how after three sessions I’m already feeling the benefits. At my age it’s scary how fast muscle disappears 😱 @richcallender ALWAYS SUCH A PLEASURE,” she captioned the post. Here’s what McCall’s very effective diet, exercise, and wellness routine looks like.

1. Pilates and Strength Training

McCall put on weight after giving up smoking, and decided to join a gym. She then used a personal trainer to up her fitness game. “For me, fitness is about doing a bit of everything,” she told Women’s Fitness. “I do some yoga, Pilates, strength training, bodyweight training, cardio, one or two runs a week, and maybe a spin class. It’s about having variety all the time, never doing the same workout, and keeping things fun. Ideally, I train three or four times a week, usually following one of my little fitness challenges that run on Own Your Goals. When I follow a challenge, it keeps me motivated to keep going back.”

2. Intermittent Fasting

McCall swears by intermittent fasting, rarely eating after 8 p.m. “Until recently, I never ate protein for breakfast,” she told Women’s Fitness. “Going back five or six years ago, I was a crumpet, honey and butter person, but I’ve learnt more and more about nutrition over the years, and I don’t want to start my day with sugar and carbs anymore. These days, I intermittent fast, which means I often don’t eat until lunchtime. But having a protein shake is perfect for breaking my fast around 10.30am if I need something before 1pm.”

3. Workout Uniform

McCall wears workout gear during the week so she is always ready for a workout. "On a weekday, I start the day in some sort of Lycra, if I'm not working,” she told Get the Gloss. “I just put on a workout outfit because it means that I'm always ready. If I start my day in civvies I am not going to work out, it’s never going to happen. If I'm in my workout gear and it gets three o'clock in the afternoon, I think, come on, back on! My Lycra is like my work clothes so I spend money on Lycra like other people would spend money on a suit for work. My workout stuff is Lululemon or Sweaty Betty.”

4. Mental Health Workouts

McCall loves the physical benefits of regular exercise, but the mental benefits have been amazing too. “I benefit so much from exercise as it helps my mental health,” she told Women’s Fitness. “And sometimes, that will be my one motivator to train. I’d probably say I don’t train for my body – I train for my brain. The fact that exercise will give me shoulders or great calf muscles is a wonderful byproduct of what it does for my mental health, for sure. I use my own bodyweight a lot in training. With the changes happening in my body, I need to do strength training for my bones, but also especially for my muscle tone, because muscle tone is the thing that’s actually really hard to keep hold of. It doesn’t matter how saggy or crepey your skin gets: if you’ve got nice muscle tone underneath it, you’ll still look great.”

5. Walking the Dog

McCall walks her dog every day. "Me and the dog, Bo, are best friends,” she told Get the Gloss. “I used to do uphill runs with Bo, although I really have to stop running with her now. She's quite ancient. What I'll do now is walk her at eight a.m., get back to the house at nine then go on a half an hour run after I get back from the walk because she just can't hack it, bless her."
