Amanda Elise Lee is doing a workout in “two of her favorite” Fashion Nova exercise sets. In a new social media post the fitness influencer flaunts her amazing figure in workout clothes. She also reveals her abs and glutes workout with her followers. Here's how she approaches wellness.

1. Working Out “Changed” Her Life

Amanda maintains that exercise completely transformed her life and body. "There's nothing wrong with being skinny, but I was really self-conscious about it — I didn't have my first boyfriend until I was 21," the influencer, who now works as a certified personal trainer and Pilates instructor, told Cosmopolitan. "Working out completely changed my life and confidence."

2. Minimal Cardio

"I don't do a lot of cardio because it's the most time-consuming," says Amanda. She adds that she exercises 45 minutes four to five times a week, doing mostly strength training so she doesn’t lose weight. "I'm obsessed with not losing weight. If I look at the scale and it goes up, I get excited I gained 2 pounds," she says.

3. Variety

Amanda makes sure to switch it up. "Variety is even more important that working out regularly," she says. "Try to change it up every time you work out: Instead of doing a regular squat, do it while standing on a BOSU ball, or do a walking lunge, elevated lunge with one leg on step, or a side lunge."

4. Engaging Muscles

Amanda stresses the importance of connecting your mind and body during workouts to engage the right muscles. "So many people go through the motions and don't see results because they don't connect the mind and the body to really feel the exercise," Amanda says. "You can't go through the motions — you really have to squeeze your butt and engage your abs to benefit."

5. TRX

Amanda is a big fan of TRX workouts. “Complete total body TRX 💪,” she captioned a post. TRX workouts can be done at home or at the gym. They involve simple straps that can be connected to the ceiling or a door, and are great for doing a variety of strength training moves, using your bodyweight as resistance.

Ludovica Pagani is an extremely successful journalist. She makes sure to stay in shape. A few weeks ago, she hit the gym with her friend. The pair shared their workouts on Instagram, doing a lot of ab exercises. Pagani captioned the post, “Girls abs.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Ludovica Pagani stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Works Out With A Friend

As you can see from her Instagram post, Pagani likes to work out with someone else. Better Health states that having a friend work out with you has benefits. “You’re less likely to get bored when you have a workout buddy, especially a friend. While you’re catching up, having a laugh, encouraging each other, you’re also getting healthier. It’s a win-win. Chatting to a friend during exercise and breaks can help time pass quickly too. You’ll have more options as well, such as a game of tennis or squash.”

2. She Strength Trains

In her Instagram video, Pagani is seen doing exercises with weights. The Mayo Clinic states that using weights has a lot of benefits. “Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories. Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age.”

3. She Does Planks

In her Instagram video, Pagani is seen doing plank twists. Planks are a great exercise. ACE Fitness reports, “The core consists of the muscles that stabilize and support your spine, and includes the muscles of the back and the abdominal region. Developing a strong core is important because these muscles support the entire body, in both exercise and activities of daily living. The plank, in particular, is effective because it targets the core as a whole and engages multiple additional muscle groups. It also can be performed anywhere without additional equipment, and is modifiable to varying fitness levels.”

4. She Does Russian Twists

In her Instagram video, Pagani does Russian twists. Gymless states that these have a lot of benefits. “Russian Twists are a great exercise that develops all parts of your core, especially the obliques, it also targets the shoulders and hips. This exercise involves rotating your torso from side-to-side while maintaining a sit up position with your feet off the ground. This rotational movement often occurs in sports, which makes it a popular exercise amongst athletes. The primary muscles worked are the obliques and rectus abdominis. The secondary muscles worked are the hip flexors, erector spinae, scapulars and the latissimus dorsi.”

5. She Does Sit-Ups

In her Instagram video, Pagani is seen doing sit-ups. According to The Cleveland Clinic, these have a lot of benefits. “Sit ups are great for tightening your core. They strengthen and tone your rectus abdominus, transverse abdominus and oblique abdominal muscles as well as your neck muscles. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends three sets of 8 to 12 repetitions three times per week.”
