Bayley in Two-Piece Workout Gear Got Ready for "Wrestlemania"

Bayley is a very prominent wrestler. She is signed to WWE, and is the longest reigning SmackDown Champion. She is also a Raw Champion and Tag Team Champion. Bayley appeared in WWE’s Wrestlemania. She advertised the event and shared highlights on Instagram. She captioned it, “Wrestlemania Week: Part 1.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Bayley stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Wrestles

Wrestling is naturally, the main way Bayley stays in shape. CarmelUSAWrestling.org states, “Wrestling inherently provides a full-body workout that recruits all of your muscle fibers, tendons, and ligaments, enhancing your overall physical condition naturally over time. Regular wrestling training promotes strength, agility, and cardiovascular endurance, making it the best available approach to getting in shape and bolstering your health.”

2. She Weight Trains

In this video, Bayley took her fans through her fitness journey. She is seen lifting weights in it. According to the Mayo Clinic, weight training has a lot of benefits, including weight loss and preventing osteoporosis. “By stressing your bones, strength training can increase bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories.”

3. She Box Jumps

In her workout video, Bayley is seen doing box jumps. Joho Fitness states that box jumps are a great workout. “In box jump training you work all of your leg muscles and strengthen your core using your own body weight. Box jumps boost your muscular endurance and muscular strength, while also getting some cardiovascular work involved.”

4. She Bikes

In this video she posted on Instagram, Bayley is seen coming back from a bike ride. A Healthier Michigan states that biking has a lot of benefits. “All that work your body is doing by pedaling and balancing not only works muscles in your arms and core, but it counts as serious cardio exercise and burns calories with every spin of the wheels. By biking at a moderate pace, about 12 or 13 miles per hour, a person weighing 155 pounds burns nearly 300 calories in 30 minutes, according to statistics shared by Harvard University. Like to pedal faster? A person of that same weight doing a fast pace of 14 or 15 miles per hour burns more than 370 calories in 30 minutes.”

5. She’s Appreciative

Bayley opened up about her wrestling career in an interview with The Tampa Bay Times. She talked about being in WrestleMania, and how happy she says. “I'm just so appreciative to be here. I believe I do deserve to be here because I fought so hard to get here…I would have been happy just to get onto the show, even happier to be in the championship picture, but now I'm going in having to defend my championship where everyone is gunning for me.”

WWE star Bianca Belair’s training routine is hardcore—she doesn’t skip a workout, even when she’s on the road. And now the star has even more motivation to be strong and ready for the ring. Belair, 34, shared a video of herself wearing black shorts and a tank top, doing weights and cardio exercises at the gym. “It took a minute… But we are going to wrESTleMania. Been waiting for this moment for 2+years ever since Damage Control stepped into that ring with me at SummerSlam and I been fighting for my life ever since! It’s time to end this! Stay ready so you don’t have to get ready!” she captioned the post. Here’s how Belair trains, eats, and stays strong on the inside and out.

1. No Fear Under Pressure

Belair thrives under pressure, and has always been keen to prove herself. “When you ask for an opportunity, actually I don’t ask for opportunities because I feel like whatever comes my way is what I deserve and I don’t have to ask for it, but I’ve been sitting here proving myself over and over, and I finally got that spotlight,” she told Muscle & Fitness. “A lot of people were like, ‘Who is this girl?’, ‘Where has she been hidden?’ or ‘Oh, she’s so good now’. It’s not now, I’ve always been good, it’s just now you finally know who I am and now you are seeing what I’ve been saying [all along]. For me, pressure is just a part of the game, and part of competition. I’ve been competing since I was a little girl so I am used to it, I’m always ready for whatever comes my way.”

2. Everything In Moderation

Belair has an “everything in moderation” approach to diet after not having the healthiest relationship with food in the past. “I feel like every woman has this moment where they have to figure out what works for them,” she told Women’s Health. “For me, I don’t do diets because I find myself becoming a little obsessive… Everything in moderation. I don't believe in overindulging or in depriving myself of anything. I’ve had to learn that food is not my enemy. I work out once or twice a day and I’m lifting super heavy weights. I need fuel to keep going.”

3. Pre-Fight Preparation

Belair may only be in the ring for 25 minutes but she and the other fighters have been preparing for hours ahead of time. “Once I get to the venue, it’s nonstop movement from there: preparing to get in the ring, stretching, warming up, doing my own hair and makeup, putting finishing touches on my gear,” she told Balance the Grind. “I like to listen to gospel music before I perform because I feel like it’s just something that really gets you in a good mood. I love Kirk Franklin. It gets me pumped up, and it gives me a lot of confidence.”

4. Mental Health Support

Belair is careful to rest when she needs to, to prevent burnout. “Mental health is everything,” she told Essence. “I think everybody focuses so much on the physical. You go in the gym and you’re training and you’re working hard and you’re sore. You feel good about yourself. But mental health is just as important. For me, my mental health is a lot of resting because I am constantly on the go.”

5. Intense Training Routine

Belair’s training and exercise routine is unsurprisingly intense. “I’m in the gym usually Tuesday through Friday doing cardio training, CrossFit-type of training,” she told Balance the Grind. “And then Saturday through Tuesday is when I’m traveling and having wrestling matches inside the ring. But on those traveling days, I’m still in the gym at eight o’clock in the morning. Then I’m at the show, having a wrestling match at eight o’clock at night, and then I’m driving to the next show until about 2 a.m. And then I’m doing it all over again the next day. So it’s a grind, not just mentally, but physically as well.”

Bayley is heating up the gym in her workout gear. In a new social media post the WWE wrestler shows off her amazing body in a two–piece exercise set during a sweat session at the gym, sharing a mirror selfie after her workout. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Healthy Diet

Bayley maintains a healthy diet. "For a couple of years, I was like kind of just doing whatever I wanted," she told Indulgexpress. "I'm on a stricter diet now. I have a nutritionist and a strength coach and he really keeps me in check. It's like the boring stuff you see online. It's like chicken rice and veggies, yogurt and protein powder, oatmeal and eggs."

2. Basketball

Bayley enjoys shooting hoops. “Put me in the next @nba ALL-STAR celebrity game,” she writes. “Basketball promotes speed, agility, strength, power and endurance. It [has] also been shown to increase flexibility and motor coordination. As a result, basketball is uniquely oriented to improve fundamental motor skills that are shown to be beneficial in promoting general health,” Koco Eaton, M.D., orthopedic surgeon, founder of Eaton Orthopaedics and a former basketball player, tells Nike.

3. Coffee

You can always find Bayley with a cup of coffee in hand. “@itsmebayley’s got her coffee and she’s ready to win back her WWE Women’s Championship TONIGHT! Can she do it? 🩸👀,” the WWE captioned a post. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

4. CrossFit

Bayley is into CrossFit workout. In this YouTube video, she is seen doing exercises. CrossFit is a form of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) that focuses on improving strength, endurance, and body composition. However, it can result in injury if not done properly. The involvement of well-educated coaches decreases the injury rate.

5. Consistency

It’s all about consistency, says Bayley. “You have to be in it for the long run and you have to be consistent. The road will always be full of ups and downs, but if you stay consistent with your goals and your work ethic, you’re going to get to where you want to be,” she captioned a post.
