Amanda Saccomanno, aka Mandy Rose, in Two-Piece Workout Gear Does Hip Thrusts

Amanda Saccomanno is getting a glute workout in—in her exercise clothes. In a new social media post the former WWE fighter flaunts her incredible figure in a two-piece workout ensemble during an intense sweat session. “We were pushing some weight today! 😅💪🏻🍑,” she captioned the post. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Strength Training

Mandy revealed that once she started bodybuilding and strength training with a professional, it was a game-changer. “I always worked out, but I wasn’t super strict with my diet. I hired a trainer and approached it like a hobby, but once I saw the progress and how my body was changing, I loved it,” she told Muscle and Fitness.

2. High Protein, Low Carb Diet

Mandy eats clean, following a high-protein, low-carb diet with a few fast food meals sprinkled in. “Overall, I try to be consistent,” she told Muscle & Fitness, “but sometimes you just have to eat what’s available.” Doughnuts are one of her cheat meals.. “I’m lucky to have good genes,” she says. “And life’s all about balance.”

3. She Has a Fitness App

Mandy is such an advocate of fitness apps that she started her own, Fit with Mandy. “It’s a 12-week at-home program designed for both men and women of all ages and skill levels. You can go at your own pace and do this program anywhere—it includes a lot of HIIT exercises, and it requires little to no equipment. I designed the program because I’m always on the road traveling, and sometimes can’t get to a gym with my busy schedule. But with this app, there are no excuses—anyone can make time. It’s available for download now in the App Store, so check it out,” she told Star magazine.

4. Daily Workouts

Mandy tries to workout daily. “I train five to six days a week, usually for an hour and a half at the gym. However, being on the road as much as I am now, sometimes I have to train in hotel gyms or even my hotel room. I’ve learned to make it work no matter where i am. That’s one reason why I created the Fit With Mandy app,” she told Star.

5. HIIT Workouts

Mandy has found the combination of HIIT and cardio to be effective. “I warm up first and do some cardio, whether it’s on the bike, treadmill or Stairmaster—just something to warm my muscles and get my heart rate going. A lot of my workouts consist of HIIT (high intensity interval training), which is my favorite form of cardio. After my warm-up, I spend 15 minutes stretching and working on mobility—for athletes, it’s important to stretch and do mobility exercises to help prevent injuries. After that, I start my workout. Whether it’s upper- or lower-body day, I do four sets of each exercise, with high reps,” she said. There is lots of research backing up the benefits of HIIT workouts, including body fat reduction, improved cardiovascular function, and mental health. It is also time effective.

6. Glute Workouts

In her recent post, Mandy shares her glute workout:

1️⃣ Barbell squat

10-12 reps 4 sets

2️⃣ RDLs (keep bar close & flat back)

12-15 reps 4 sets

3️⃣ HEAVY hip thrusts

10 reps 4 sets (last one hold at the top)

Anita Herbert, the fitness trainer behind the successful Summer Shred program, is pulling a Lego Batman and not skipping a leg day. She posted a video of herself feeling the burn when doing squats and more. “True story 🥲—especially when it’s the second leg day this week!👀 Who can relate?” she captioned it. Here are some other ways she stays so in shape.

1. She Does Hanging Leg Raises

“When you think of an exercise routine for your core, most people think of sit-ups or planks, which are great exercises for your ‘six-pack’ ab work,” exercise physiologist Griffin Nykor, RKin, CPT, tells the Cleveland Clinic. “Leg lifts are an important complement to that because they get at the muscles that make up the rest of your trunk — your lower back, glutes, hip flexors and your transverse abdominus (the muscle that sits under your six-pack).”

2. She Likes High-Protein Snacks

Check out this great video about her favorite high-protein snacks. A sample:

“🩵 Bone broth - 50 calories per bag and 10 g protein Just ask for hot water on the plane or at a coffee shop when you are ready to have it.

🩵 Protein bars - Look for ones that are low in sugar and high in protein.

🩵 Protein powder - I put a serving of iso whey by @onesthealth in my shaker and just add water when I’m ready to drink it. linked in my bio!

🩵 Protein chips - Perfect for snacking on while watching a movie, and the macros are a lot better than regular chips, 130 calories per bag with 17g of protein and only 4g of carbs.”

3. She Does Hip Thrusts

“I usually program a hip thrust variation 2-3 times / week, using different rep ranges,” she captioned one video. “You can perform all of these variations with a dumbbell, kettlebell or smith machine instead.”

4. She Has Perfected the Crunch

“These tips will level up your ab game 🫡 Train your ABS instead of your ❌hip flexors!” she captioned one great video. “Focus on:

✅ Curling your chest towards your hips

✅ Reducing your range of motion and really focus on using your abs, no momentum.

✅ Squeezing your abs at the top

✅ Lowering yourself down slowly

✅ Breathing correctly: inhale on the way down and exhale on the way up.”

5. Yes, She Really Does Not Skip Leg Day

“Having strong glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings and calf muscles gives your body a strong foundation and can,” sais Piedmont Health:

• “Tone your lower body muscles
• Boost your metabolism as you increase muscle mass
• Give you a higher calorie burn as you train larger muscle groups
• Improve your balance
• Strengthen your bones
• Reduce joint pain”

1. She Strength Trains

3. She Does Squats

In the previous Instagram post, Lanceford is seen doing squats. The Mayo Clinic reports that squats are a great workout with a lot of benefits. “The squat is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles.

Aimee Delgado, a renowned bodybuilder and Ms. Olympia competitor, is known for her impressive physique and dedication to fitness. With a significant following on Instagram, she regularly shares her workout routines and tips with her fans. Recently, Delgado posted a series of videos showcasing her upper body workout routine, captioning it, “Upper body day.” Aimee’s consistent regimen, including exercises like lat pulldowns, shoulder abductions, and hip thrusts, is designed to build strength and maintain her sculpted body. “The vibe is always the boooty🍑✨,” she shared in one of her posts. Her commitment to both upper and lower body exercises, along with a focus on weightlifting, demonstrates the discipline that has earned her a place in the world of competitive bodybuilding.

1. She Does Pulldowns

Delgado is seen doing pulldowns in her Instagram post. Piedmont reports that these are great upper body exercises to do. “The lat pulldown is a fantastic exercise for strengthening the latissimus dorsi muscle, the broadest muscle in your back. This muscle promotes good posture and spinal stability. Form is crucial when performing a lat pulldown to prevent injury and reap the best results.”

2. She Does Abductors

Delgado is also seen using the shoulder abductor machine with a weight in her Instagram post. Bauerfiend states that the machine has a lot of benefits. “Resisted shoulder abduction is an exercise that strengthens and stabilises the rotator cuff muscles. It also works the upper back and core, albeit to a lesser extent. It’s a great addition to an upper-body workout routine. It can also help rehabilitate your shoulder after an injury or surgery, especially if the joint lost some strength and mobility during recovery. With a stronger rotator cuff, your shoulder will be more prepared for weightlifting workouts and be less prone to injury and re-injury.”

3. She Does Hip Thrusts

Delgado shared some of her favorite lower body workouts in this Instagram video. One thing she is seen doing is hip thrusts with a barbell. Delgado captioned the post, “The vibe is always the boooty🍑✨” Gymless states that hip thrusts have a lot of benefits. “Hip thrusts are plastered on nearly every fitness influencer’s page nowadays. Fortunately, they are a dynamic and effective exercise that has soared in popularity among fitness enthusiasts and athletes—so, honestly, I have no problem with it. It’s a great compound movement that targets the gluteal muscles (‘glutes’), and it’s crucial for improving lower body strength, power, and juicy lower-body aesthetics.”

4. She Lifts Weights

In the previous Instagram video, and her recent post, Delgado is seen using weights to workout. Using weights has a lot of benefits. ACE Fitness states, “Using heavy weights increases intramuscular coordination, the number of type II motor units and the amount of muscle fibers engaged within a specific muscle. Have you ever felt your muscles shaking while lifting heavy weights? This is because you are recruiting and activating the larger type II muscle fibers, which are only stimulated to work when a muscle is challenged with heavy resistance or working to fatigue.”

5. She Does Squats

Delgado shared some more of her favorite lower body workouts in this Instagram post. One thing she is seen doing is squats with a barbell. Gymless states that squats are very beneficial. “This exercise is great if you’d like to shed some fat whilst putting on muscle. This should be done at a high intensity. Doing Bodyweight Squats can increase your Metabolic Equivalent (MET). The higher your MET rate, the more calories you’ll burn. Squats could be counted as an aerobic exercise such as running or cycling. Performing this exercise would burn lots of calories and help you to lose body fat.”
