Ally starts the day with 12 oz celery juice and 16oz water. "I have a Bodyrmor Sportwater, so I'll try to chug one of those to get my system going," she told Insider.

2. Small Snack Before Exercise

"I don't necessarily eat right before I work out," Love told Insider. "If I'm doing, say, a Tabata class, I'll have a banana or half an apple with some almond butter just to give me some fuel."

3. Here’s What She Eats in a Day

"I try to eat everything in moderation and be more mindful around my eating," Ally says. Here is what she eats in a day:

Breakfast: Yogurt smoothie made with natural almond milk yogurt, almond milk, banana, blueberries, cinnamon, protein powder, and dates. "I am not the hugest breakfast fan except on Saturdays, which are for pancakes," she said.

Lunch: Salmon salad. "I like salads with something warm on like salmon, tofu, or mushrooms. And I love a good Greek salad with chickpeas,” she said.

Snacks: Green smoothie made from kale, spinach, pineapple, celery, and cucumber.

Dinner: Curry. "I love Indian food so I crave curry, chana, and rice all the time," Love said,

Dessert: Vanilla yogurt. "I try to only have one, so this is where discipline comes in," Love said.

4. 5 to 6 Different Workouts a Week

"You want to diversify your fitness portfolio," Love said about the importance of mixing up your workouts. "Whatever you are consuming, whether it's media, fitness, or food, you want to make sure that there is variety because then your body is able to respond better and you can get to a place where you are feeling your healthiest and best. If you only do one workout, you're going to plateau." In total she works out 5 to 6 times a week.

5. Running

Love enjoys running outside. "I try to run at least three miles five times a week, if not longer — one of those days will be a six mile run," Love said.

6. Strength Training

While "every body is great," Love maintains that "if you ever want to change the shape of your body, strength training is so important.” She lifts weights at least three times a week using heavy and light weights.

7. Rest Day

Love takes one rest day a week, and another day, opts for a walk or yoga. "It's usually Saturday, it's a day just for me, I don't do anything except spend time with my family and talk to friends," she said.

Yasmin Brunet is a model and entrepreneur with more than 7 million followers on Instagram. Why so popular? She’s fit and shows you how. “Another day, another workout,” she captioned one recent post, where she can be seen sparring with a coach. How else does the 36-year-old stay so strong? Read on for her wellness habits that you can adopt, too.

1. She Loves Her Pooch

Brunet is seen smooching a pooch in one video. “One notable benefit is that dogs force you to get up and move. One research study found that dog owners are more likely to report regular physical activity than people who don't own dogs. Activities associated with dog ownership, like feeding, grooming, playing and letting them outside, all increase physical activity levels. Physical activity improves blood flow, induces muscle contraction and reduces joint stiffness,” says the Mayo Clinic.

2. She Uses Battle Ropes

“Battle Rope training allows for safe and effective ways to train force production in all three planes of motion, as an integral part of any well-rounded strength and conditioning program,” says NASM. If you are looking for a tool that recruits multiple core musculature in movements, then the Battle Rope is that tool. High to moderate levels of activation have been found in obliques, erector spinae, and gluteus medius (Calatayud, 2015).”

3. She Does Squats With Kettlebells

“Kettlebell training is a flexible and useful strategy for improving players' performance in a variety of sports. It adds value to athlete training programs by enhancing strength, power, endurance, explosive power, and postural coordination,” says one study.

4. She Does Crunches

Before boxing, Brunet does some light crunches on an stability ball. To get set up, “sit on a properly inflated stability ball (one that compresses approximately 6" under your body weight) with your feet flat on the floor. Slowly lean backwards while walking yourself out along the ball until your shoulders, back and tailbone make contact on the ball. Adjust your leg position to create a 90 degree bend at the knees with your thighs parallel to the floor and positioned hip-width apart, and feet facing forward with your weight distributed evenly through your feet. Your mid-back should be positioned on the top of the ball (at 12 o'clock) and your hips should be positioned at 2 o'clock,” says ACE Fitness.

5. She Boxes

“The calories you burn during boxing can help you maintain or achieve a healthy weight,” says the Cleveland Clinic. “One study compared boxing training versus moderate-intensity walking in people with a body mass index (BMI) of greater than 25 (which is considered having overweight/obesity). The researchers noted reductions in BMI, waist circumference and body fat percentage in the boxing group, while the walking group showed no changes.”

1. She's A Circus Performer

Aliyah is trained as a circus performer. "I decided to go to circus school because I wanted to be a wrestler," she revealed in an interview with WWE. "I remember watching Tough Enough and seeing that they were doing rolls and stuff. I connected that with the circus, which was an option as an after-school program, so I chose that. I learned a lot of skills there, like acrobatics, that transferred over to wrestling… [Circus training] is very physically demanding. You have to have a certain athleticism. You have to be able to jump. Your body has to be able to move a certain way. It takes a lot of flexibility. There's a lot of physicality in wrestling, too. You have to be athletic."

2. She Lifts Weights

Aliyah also spends a lot of time in the gym lifting weights. Physical activity is anything that gets your body moving. Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.

3. The Gym Is Like “Disneyland” for Her

It isn’t hard for Aliyah to motivate herself to exercise. When asked What she liked most about the WWE Performance Center, she responded: “I enjoy … everything. I really can’t think of just one thing. I love the in-ring training, I love how we have a full gym and get to work on our physiques. I love the whole facility. It’s like Disneyland to me!”

4. She Rides Horses

Aliyah is also an experienced equestrian. “Ain’t nothing new under the sun 😘 #horsegirl,” she captioned a post of herself on horseback. According to the American Heart Association, riding horses is great for your health. Not only does it boost cardiovascular health, but builds core strength, burns calories, and lowers blood pressure. It is also great for your mental health as it helps relax you.

5. She Trains Hard

Aliyah gives it her all. "I would go to the gym every day," she says about how she prepped for her WWE tryout. "I would go to wrestling training five times a week. I was eating the cleanest I've ever eaten in my life. I'd practice interviews in the mirror every day. I gave 110 percent to be ready for the tryout."
