Alexia Clark In Workout Gear Says “Save This Workout and Tag a Friend”

Fitness influencer and trainer Alexia Clark is sharing a very fun outdoors workout that targets the abs and core. Clark posted a video of herself wearing black two-piece workout gear, doing mat exercises in the sunshine by a pool. “Save this workout and tag a friend so they can do it too! Perform 4 rounds and take it from me, it’s fun to do it outside! ☀️☀️☀️ #abs #core #freeworkout,” she captioned the post. Here’s how the Instagram sensation stays fit, happy, and healthy.

1. Best and Worst Workouts

Clark says her favorite workout is hiking, and her least favorite is spinning. “There is a difference between training and exercising,” she told Meal Prep On Fleek. “You can do anything to exercise, like play soccer with your kids or go hiking. Working out/training is hard...that's when you’re pushing yourself and working on your weaknesses.”

2. Vacation Workouts

Clark likes to stay active even on vacation. “If you have a hotel gym, why not make the most of it? Even if it’s just a 20 minute session before breakfast,” she writes on her website. “If you get a quick workout done in the morning (especially if you’re in a hot climate) you’ll feel so much better for the rest of the day and will be able to relax as much as you like. You could also take your exercise outside, try exploring the local area on foot or do a quick workout on the beach. You’ll even find active tours in a lot of major cities, they cover everything from running to biking and hiking. Active tours are a great way to see new places and learn fun facts about where you are.”

3. Meal Prepping

Clark likes to do some meal prep every week to make life easier. “I halfway meal prep,” she told Meal Prep On Fleek. “I'll make a spaghetti squash, or a bunch of cauliflower rice, at the beginning of the week and I'll just leave it plain so I can make a bunch of different things with it throughout the week. You can do the same thing with ground turkey and chicken. I love spaghetti squash with salsa and ground turkey. One of my favorites right now is doing ground turkey, butternut squash, tomato, onion, and corn.”

4. Hydration Is Key

Clark tries to stay hydrated when she’s traveling. “It’s so easy to forget, but it’s so important to drink more water if you’re on vacation, especially if you decide to eat high sodium foods or sugary things,” she writes on her website. “If you can, keep an ice cold bottle of water with you wherever you go. Often we mistake thirst for hunger, so you may end up eating more if you’re dehydrated. Watermelon, cucumbers, strawberries and lettuce are all over 92 percent water and are great choices for snacks to keep your water levels up.”

5. Summer Fitness

Clark has good advice on staying fit during the endless summer barbecues and cookouts. “For those of you hosting or attending a barbecue, consider preparing some healthy alternatives,” she writes on her website. “My go-to is a delicious grilled vegetable platter seasoned with herbs. Or, for a sweet treat, try making fruit skewers. Not only do they look cute but they’re so refreshing.”

Fitness influencer Alexia Clark is sharing a weight workout on her social media, explaining how she had the best workout after a stressful night dealing with her pets. Clark posted a video of herself doing an intense strength training workout, wearing gray leggings and a neon green sports bra. “It was quite the morning but I did remember this quote from Goggins 😂 and probably had one of the greatest workouts I’ve had recently. I just decided to go for it and dare the world to throw one more thing at me. LETS GO! Try me Monday!” she captioned the post. Here are Clark’s top tips for getting fit, staying healthy, and making it a lifestyle.

1. Happy and Active

Clark’s workout regimen impacts not just her physical wellbeing but her mental health and happiness. “My fitness journey started in high school,” she told Good Morning America. “I absolutely loved sports. I have always been competitive and high school sports were my outlet for all of the competitive energy pent up inside me. In college at Arizona State University, where I studied communications, without team sports, I found myself in the gym every day. Fitness became such an important part of my daily routine. I noticed my mood suffered without it. Like a cure-all drug, exercise boosted my energy and improved my mood and my outlook on my life. Ever since then, I’ve been hooked.”

2. Outdoor Workouts

Clark loves working out outside as much as possible. “The gym is great when it’s too cold to workout outside, but when the sun is shining exercising outdoors is a great way to make you feel revitalized,” she says on her website. “Did you know that exercising outdoors can help you experience higher levels of post-exercise endorphins? You may also find that you lose interest in your fitness routine if you’re constantly exercising in the same place. Exercising outside provides you with lots of new scenery and places to workout that will help you stay on track.”

3. Create Good Habits

Clark is a big proponent of good habits over motivation. “Whenever my clients have asked me how to get the motivation to go to the gym, I respond: ‘Remind yourself that your health is worth it,’ or ‘Become the best version of yourself for your family.’ However, I always follow it up with what I believe is the secret to staying consistent: make fitness a habit,” she told Good Morning America. “I believe in creating good habits. Habits die hard. When you’ve made a fitness routine a weekly or even daily habit, missing a day of exercise feels like less of a relief, and makes you feel more like something was missing from your day.”

4. Get Good Sleep!

Clark emphasizes just how important sleep is to health and happiness. “Between living your life, working, and exercising, you may find that you’re forgetting to prioritize sleep. Or maybe, you don’t realize that sleep is the key to being rewarded for your diet and fitness efforts,” she says on her website. “Not sleeping enough (less than seven hours of sleep per night) can reduce and even undo the benefits of your workouts and healthy eating. Lack of rest makes you crave food and can sabotage your workout the next day. This is because you might find you’re not able to push as hard as you usually would. A good rule of thumb is to aim for between 7-9 hours of sleep per night. Also, try to make sure that one poor night of sleep isn’t followed up with a few more. It might not seem like much, but it could make all the difference.”

5. Supportive Community

Clark knows how important it is to surround yourself with people who are positive and encourage success. “My number one piece of advice is to find a supportive community,” she told Good Morning America. “Some people find this in a gym, but I have found sometimes it can be hard to connect there. People are in a rush and trying to workout and get everything else in their day done. I'm lucky to have found my community online in the ‘Queen Team.’ Not only do they encourage each other to stick to their fitness journeys, but they also help one another - giving advice, talking and sharing it all. In the process we are creating lasting friendships through fitness.”

MMA fighter Jessica-Rose Clark is celebrating a milestone in her fitness journey. Clark, 36, shared a video of herself wearing shorts and a black shirt, doing a strength training session at the gym. “When you hit a PR and celebrate too early then you can’t stop laughing and totally mess up your remaining reps 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️ Thank you @abekhalil79 for training me today, excited to hit more PRs and actually be good at exercising as well as fighting,” she captioned the post. Here’s how Clark stays fighting-fit and ready for action.

1. CrossFit Training

Clark started CrossFit training during the pandemic lockdowns, and wishes she had tried it earlier. “A big part of that was what I was doing on the CrossFit side,” she told CrossFit.com. “I felt like maybe athletically I would have progressed a little quicker if I had been more open to doing it earlier… It made me so explosive and powerful and mobile, which in a sport that involves moving someone else, physically lifting someone else … pushing 135 lb off you dynamically … there’s so much correlation.”

2. Those Who Can, Teach

Clark revels in teaching MMA and Muay Thai, especially to kids. “I just love it. I love seeing the look on someone’s face when they understand what you’re trying to show them,” she told UFC.com. “Or maybe they’ve been having difficulty with a particular technique or a particular move, and just being able to find a way around that difficulty or helping them solve whatever the problem is, it’s fulfilling. If I’m not training, I’m teaching. It’s the other half of my job. I’m not just a fighter. I’m going to be in this sport for a long time, and I’m going to help other people evolve in it as well.”

3. Love At First Sight

Clark was introduced to the world of martial arts through her then-boyfriend. “I’ve been training for 12 years and fighting for 10,” she told ICON Meals. “I was dating a guy who took me to kickboxing one day, and just fell in love with it! I legitimately never looked back. It was the first thing in my life that I ever truly fell in love with.”

4. Training Camps

Clark is supported by a fantastic team. “I’m in a position now where I can really tailor my camps to how I need them, which is a big thing for me,” she told UFC.com. “Instead of just training with whoever I can find, now I can bring people in to help me train. I brought in a black belt to help me with this camp, which has been huge. I’ve got high-level strikers working every day with me as well. Previously I couldn’t afford to pay people to come and help me out. I had to take what I could get.

5. Her Own Hero

Clark has immense self-confidence and focus. “This is probably going to sound conceited, but honestly, I inspire myself,” she told ICON Meals. “It’s been a long and arduous journey, not just through my career but through life. I don’t need to turn to what someone else has done, in order to inspire me to keep going. I don’t believe in balance. My UFC career is my only priority. It is what allows me to keep a roof over my head and my dogs fed. Everything else comes secondary.”

Nia Jax is a superstar wrestler for the WWE. She recently shared a new reel on Instagram. In it, Jax modeled some new clothes. She wore workout gear and a black tank top and pants. She captioned the reel, “It’s a vibe @FashionNovaCurve. Vital Goddess Active Long Sleeve Infinity. Monte Blanc Sweatsuit. No Jealousy Pant Set.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Nia Jax stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Works Out With Others

Jax likes to train with other people. And sometimes they are her fellow wrestlers. She talked about this to Bill Apter. "I am training. I'll train over at D-Von Dudley's ring. He's great and then I go over to Nattie and TJ's [Natalya & TJ Wilson], so they run me through some drills and stuff like that and I have matches. I'll get in the ring every now and then with some of my friends like Charlotte [Flair] and her husband, Manny [Andrade El Idolo).”

2. She Does Pilates

In her Bill Apter interview, Jax shared one of her go-to workouts. “I've kind of started being obsessed with Pilates." The Cleveland Clinic states that Pilates has a lot of benefits. “Pilates is a form of strength training, but it doesn’t look like some of the other strength training exercises you might be familiar with. Pilates focuses more on improving muscle tone than building muscles, but the result is similar: greater stability and endurance. Pilates isn’t going to bulk you up — if anything, it’s designed to cultivate a longer, leaner look. Still, it can lay a strong physical foundation for muscle-building activities — and may even reduce your likelihood of injury.

3. She Plays Pickleball

Jax is a big fan of playing pickleball to keep herself in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself playing pickleball with some friends. She captioned the video, “Pickleball stereotypes #iykyk #pickleballislife #pickleball Having too much fun with @anghaskins @sonja_naomi.”

4. She Wants To Inspire Others

Jax wants to be a positive role model. She tells Refinery29 that this is why she started accepting herself. “Maybe a young girl seeing me and not feeling comfortable in her group can feel like, ‘Oh my gosh, look, she went out there and she’s different and I look like her and she’s kicking ass and she’s taking names. Maybe one day I can do that and I should just embrace who I am.’”

5. She’s Positive

Jax is all about self-love. She shared how she adopted this attitude with Metro. “Loving yourself and being happy and positive, that’s where true beauty comes from,” Jax explained. “I get styled and have pounds of make-up put on which is cool and all, but if I walk out with a bad attitude and have crappy negative ways, then nobody would think twice about me. I definitely feel that if somebody is struggling with themselves and how they look, they need to really channel the positivity within.”

Emily Hayden is a fitness trainer with a large following on social media. She is about to participate in a secret project and is making sure to train hard for it. Hayden recently shared a workout video with a friend on Instagram. In it, they are seen doing things like box jumps, slamming weighted balls, and pushing weighted carts. She captioned the post, “What do you think would happen if you went ALL IN on you? No more holding back, no more half efforts, no more excuses, and no more making yourself small. NO. MORE.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Emily Hayden stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Pushes Herself

Hayden makes sure to push herself when she works out. She talked about this in the caption of her post. “Take up space. Face the challenge head on. Dominate what’s in front of you. Give it everything you’ve got. And when you feel like you have nothing left, remember… that moment is exactly why you’re here. Push through and show yourself that you can overcome any obstacle in front of you.”

2. She Strength Trains

Hayden likes to strength train to stay fit. In her Instagram video, she is seen using a weighted ball and a weighted cart. According to ACE Fitness, these exercises have a lot of health benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

3. She Works Out With A Friend

As you can tell from her video, Hayden likes to work out with a friend. Better Health states that having a friend workout with you can push you. “When you exercise with a friend who’s around the same fitness level as you, you’re more likely to encourage each other and to push a little harder (to increase intensity, for example) than you might do on your own. A friend can bring out your competitive side and spur you on. When you’re ready to give up, the sight of your friend powering on might be just the incentive you need to keep going.”

4. She Does Squats

One workout that Hayden enjoys doing is squats. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing them with a barbell. Hayden captioned the post, “Do it because you deserve the life that excellence produces. Do it for you. What would you go after if anything was possible? Go after that. How would you show up if you weren’t worried about the judgements of others? Show up like that.”

5. She Uses A Resistance Band

Hayden likes to use a resistance band when she trains her glutes. She shared one of her favorite exercises in this Instagram video. In it, Hayden puts the band on her waist, stretches it out, and does forward bends with a weight. Hayden captioned the post, “Try this on your next glute day! It’s one of my favorite glute exercises. Focus on the efficiency & fullness of each squeeze and give it a full slow stretch at the bottom of the rep. Let me know what you think 💞tag me in your stories if you try it!”
