Carly Baker is one of our favorite "octagon girls" for the UFC. She is also a fitness trainer with her own website. Baker also shares a lot of her fitness outfits on Instagram.

Read on to see 5 ways Carly Baker stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Does Wall Workouts

Baker shares a lot of her exercises on Instagram. In this video, she is seen doing wall workouts. Baker captioned the post, “Wall Workout.

2. She Makes Smoothies

In this reel, Baker shared some of her wellness secrets. At the beginning of the video, she makes a smoothie. Baker puts spinach, bananas, apples, and coconut water in it. Utah State University states that smoothies have a lot of benefits. “Smoothies can be a vehicle for many nutrients considered essential to the human body. It all depends on what ingredients are used. Most of the healthy nutrients in our smoothies will come from fruit or vegetables used. Benefits of a diet high in fruits and vegetables include lower risk of diseases such as diabetes, obesity, cancer, and cardiovascular disease (Slavin & Lloyd, 2012). Smoothies may be an effective way to increase the amount of fruits and vegetables in our diets (Bates & Price, 2015).”

3. She Strength Trains

Baker likes to strength train. In the previous reel, she is seen using a barbell. The Mayo Clinic states that strength training has a lot of benefits. “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.”

4. She Does Squats

Baker also likes to do squats. She is seen doing squats with a barbell in the previous reel. Piedmont states that squats are a very effective exercise. “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…Squats also improve blood circulation and boost the mind-body connection. They help you retain mobility by keeping your body strong as you age.”

5. She Works Her Abs

Baker has an amazing set of abs. She shared her favorite core workouts in this reel. In it, Baker is seen doing side leg lifts, leg drop extensions, and straight leg cycles, among other things. Baker captioned the reel, “CORE EXERCISES. Try these burning ab exercises!” The Mayo Clinic states that core 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.”

Vicky Justiz is a fitness expert and influencer. She recently launched a new workout program, and advertised it on Instagram. In a post, Justiz wore light and dark brown workout clothes. She captioned it, “3rd is my current mood because SOFT GIRL AUTUMN is live and the girls are loving it 🥹 (see comments on 4th slide) @dailythrive.”

1. She Does Low Impact Workouts

Justiz’s new workout program is all about doing low impact exercises. She talked about this in the caption of her Instagram post. “21 days of gentle low impact movement that helps me feel GOOOOOD in my body is exactly what I’ve been needing. cozy fall workouts to help me build habits and focus on my mental health before I start on my winter arc in November hehe 💅🏼❄️”

2. She Does Workouts Correctly

Justiz makes sure to do workouts properly. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram video. “Everyone could use a form refresh ✨ lower body form workout now live on the app 📲This is essentially a crash course for lower body exercises, and you will feel a major difference when doing these correctly 👀 this was a major burn because of how in depth we go on the form!! Perfect for beginners to learn the basics but also good for our advanced thrivers who just want to refresh their form knowledge 🙂‍↔️”

3. She Does Glute Isolations

As you can see from the previous Instagram post, Justiz likes to do lower body workouts. Specifically, she likes to do glute isolations. Justiz shared this video of herself doing some glute workouts. She captioned it, “Glute isolation makes my workouts x5 more effective… here’s why ⬇️1. Doing glute isolation before my weighted lower body days wakes up my glutes and ensures that they are WORKING during the workout. 2. It’s a great warm up + increases hip mobility = lowers injury = less time off to recover. 3. This is especially helpful if you have overactive thigh muscles (hamstring, quads, etc)! This is wakes the glutes up!!”

4. She Does Planks

Justiz likes to do plank exercises to stay fit. She shared some of her favorites in this video she posted on Instagram. Justiz captioned it, “Planks are notorious for activating and targeting your transverse abdominis muscle - which not only snatches your waist but also helps with back pain and stabilizes your core. I still like to do crunches for an definition but my girls that have been working out with me know how much I love my planks ☺️”

5. She Works Her Upper Body

Justiz makes sure to build upper body strength. She shared some of her favorite upper body exercises in this Instagram video. Justiz captioned it, “Grab any elevated chair, sofa, bench, etc. and try just a few of these every day. You don’t need a full on, 30 minute workout to build and tone your upper body. Start small! Start with 10 of each and make it a habit to build upper body strength. A little bit every day goes a long way - and the best part is you can do it poolside in less than a few minutes.”
