Antonela Roccuzzo in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares Exercises

Anita Herbert is working her glutes in her exercise gear. In a new social media post the fitness influencer and Hungarian model shows off her amazing body during an intense workout session, wearing shorts and a sports bra. “Your next GLUTE workout is sorted & it’s a tough one, so prepare your cheeks,” she writes, revealing the set. “Let’s get crush it!!” How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care and what exercises does Anita do to build her backisde? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Her Journey to the Gym

“About three years ago, my husband encouraged me to go to the gym for the very first time in my life. At that time, we started training together. It took some time, but he eventually turned me on to eating healthy and weightlifting. As I began to educate myself about clean eating and training, I became very interested in this new lifestyle. I loved the way training made me feel, and I also loved seeing how my body was changing day by day. People at the gym started to take notice of how my body was changing too, and they told me that I should compete in a show. At first, I thought it was silly to even consider competing, but then I decided that I should give it a try! Before I knew it, I had five NPC overall wins in a row, and now I’m an IFBB Pro. I just got invited to the Arnold Classic for the first time, and I’m going to be on the Olympia stage in September,” she told Simply Shredded.

2. Motivated by the Mirror

“My biggest motivation is the mirror. I like to see how my body changes on a daily basis. To me, there is nothing more exciting than discovering a new striation or a new vein popping out on my body!” she told Simply Shredded. “I’m sure some might say that I am crazy, but this has become a lifestyle to me, and I love it! Of course, I have to admit that I like to eat yummy food too, but for me feeling healthy and looking ‘fit’ is far more satisfying than eating a slice of pizza. My life is all about balance, and I can still have a slice of pizza every now and then if I want too, but it just doesn’t interest me as much as it used to.”

3. Switching Up Her Workouts

Anita mixes up her routine. “I switch up my training every once in a while, so it doesn’t get boring. I also like to do aerobic classes and outdoor boot camps too! And on Sunday which is my rest day, I still like to do some form of cardio,” she says.

4. Her Top 3 Exercises

Here are Anita’s top 3 exercises:

1. Squats: “Squats are great because my booty can never be big enough,” she says.
2. Hanging Leg Raises: “I love abs and hanging leg raises seem to work the best for me. Plus living in Miami, Florida, I always have to be bikini ready!” she jokes.
3. Lateral Raises: “I love training my shoulders with lateral raises because I love to feel the burn in my shoulders,” she explains.

5. Two Diets

Anita has two diets that she stays “very consistent with,” she tells Simply Shredded. “One diet I use for my off season and the other diet I use for preparing for a competition. When I’m prepping for a competition, my diet is very strict. I consume six meals a day; I measure everything, and I absolutely have no cheats! My protein sources primarily come from chicken, fish and eggs. My carbs consist of oats, quinoa, brown rice and sweet potato. I also love all kinds of vegetables, and I incorporate them into my diet as well. During my prep, I also limit my sodium intake, and I drink one to two gallons of water per day. Off season my diet is more flexible, but I still try to eat five to six meals a day. But in off season, I am able to include one to two cheat meals a week.”

Gabriella Abutbol, a fitness influencer and activewear entrepreneur, keeps her followers motivated by regularly sharing her fitness routines on Instagram. In a recent post, Abutbol showed off her favorite upper body and strength training exercises, from lateral pulldowns to bicep curls and chin-ups. With a passion for fitness and her own activewear line, Gabriella's approach to working out is both empowering and effective, inspiring her fans to stay fit and strong. Here’s a breakdown of her go-to exercises and why they are so effective.

1. She Does Lateral Pulldowns

In her Instagram post, Abutbol is seen doing lateral pulldowns. According to Piedmont, these are very effective. “The lat pulldown is a fantastic exercise to strengthen the latissimus dorsi muscle, the broadest muscle in your back, which promotes good postures and spinal stability. Form is crucial when performing a lat pulldown to prevent injury and reap the best results.”

2. She Enjoys Working Out

Abutbol enjoys working out. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Bikini abs. Someone asked me why I act 22 & why I’m so obsessed with working out so much (a hater from a burner account, becuz obviously a keyboard warrior can’t show their b*tch a$$ self. But anyways I’ll tell ya… I workout so I can age backwards😌 also… I own an activewear business @shopgea.co fitness IS my business. Enjoy the workouts. much love.”

3. She Works Her Abs

Abutbol has amazing abs, and she makes sure to do a lot of exercises to maintain them. She shared some of her go-tos in the caption of the previous Instagram video. “✌🏼😘3-4 sets x 12-15 reps. 1. reverse crunch 2. leg lowers 3. flutter kicks 4. Teaser.” The Mayo Clinic reports that ab workouts are important. “Your core is the central part of your body. It includes your pelvis, lower back, hips and stomach. The stomach muscles sometimes are called abs. Core exercises train the muscles in your core to work in harmony. This leads to better balance and steadiness, also called stability. Stability is important whether you're on the playing field or doing regular activities. In fact, most sports and other physical activities depend on stable core muscles.”

4. She Does Squats

Abutbol shared some of her go-to lower body exercises in this Instagram video. In it, she is seen doing squats. According to Piedmont, squats are very effective. “Whether you’re hoping to tone your muscles, strengthen your core or just improve overall health, squats are one of the best exercises you can do…Squats are a compound, multi-joint movement, which means they exercise several muscle groups. When you perform a squat, you work your calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, core and part of your back. A squat has more overall benefits than, say, a bicep curl, which strengthens an isolated area.”

5. She Does RDLs

Abutbol is also seen doing RDLs in the previous Instagram video. ACE Fitness reports that the exercise has a lot of benefits. “The Romanian deadlift (RDL) is a traditional barbell lift used to develop the strength of the posterior chain muscles, including the erector spinae, gluteus maximus, hamstrings and adductors. When done correctly, the RDL is an effective exercise that helps strengthen both the core and the lower body with one move. Unlike the traditional barbell deadlift and other quad-dominant exercises such as leg presses, which place significant loads on the anterior portion of the knees, the RDL focuses most of the physical work on the muscles responsible for extending the hip and the knee from the posterior.”
