Pring has become a body-positive icon throughout her career. She opened up about wanting to change the way curvy models and bodies are viewed with Cosmopolitan. “I prefer ‘curvy’ honestly,” she says. “Plus-size feels outdated and no one thinks of it in a positive way. It’s always got this sort of stigma attached to it. I’d like to do away with that.”

2. She Found Confidence

In an essay with Redbook, Pring opened up about how she found confidence in her teens. “It wasn't until I found basketball that I began to feel confident and comfortable in my body. I felt proud to be the tallest girl on the court. My arms were long and helped me dominate on defense. My legs were strong and allowed me to jump higher and run faster. My size and strength were major assets as I defended the ball from opponents. Through playing this sport, I realized how powerful and strong I was, how my body allowed me to be great at something.”

3. She Does Workouts She Enjoys

For Pring, fitness is all about doing what she loves. She opened up about her process to POPSugar. "I just began to start taking little steps towards a healthier lifestyle,” Pring explains. “And really just focusing on the kinds of activities and fitness things that I liked. I really started letting my body just naturally become what it wanted to become in a way that I really, really enjoyed."

4. She Works Out When She Can

Pring has a busy schedule, however, she makes sure to still workout on a regular basis. She shared her process in her Redbook essay. “As my modeling career was taking off, I quickly realized I couldn't continue to make basketball my priority. Now I make sure to stay strong by working out often and shooting hoops whenever I get the chance.”

5. She Has Support

Pring opened up about her mental health and wellbeing with POPSugar. She says that having supportive people is very helpful. "I think that all added to a healthier mental health. It really just helped me focus on what was important to me, like the friendships that I have, the people that I want in my life, the friendships that I want to continue to cultivate.”

Gonzalez revealed some of her wellness secrets in an interview with 4Life. She says that one of her secrets is having a set routine. “Through training, studying high-level athletes, reading books, and listening to podcasts, I’ve learned that success lies in a set, everyday routine that includes daily food planning and mental preparation. This routine has helped me evolve as an athlete and stay focused and disciplined.

2. She Doesn’t Want To Lose

Gonzalez tells 4Life that she stays motivated in her fighting career. She says that she wants to win fights, which pushes her to work hard. “I lost my debut professional fight, and that was a wakeup call. My competitor had more experience, but I wasn’t mentally or physically prepared. I never wanted to feel that way again, and it pushed me to be a better fighter. Today, I’m competing at the highest level of my sport.”

3. She Loves Smoothies

Being a professional fighter, Gonzalez has to eat healthy. However, she tells 4Life that she manages to eat healthy, and still enjoy the sweet things she likes. Gonzalez says that she likes to make smoothies as a way of doing so. “If I crave something sweet, I blend PRO-TF Chocolate with cherries, bananas, cacao nibs, and chia seeds. I put it in a glass with unsweetened coconut flakes, candied pecans, goji berries, and cinnamon on top with a fancy straw.”

4. She Loves Protein Bowls

Another thing Gonzalez likes to eat is protein bowls. She says to 4Life, “For protein bowls, I blend PRO-TF with frozen fruit and almond milk so it’s thick and creamy. I top it with bananas, strawberries, blueberries, granola, coconut flakes, honey, and cinnamon.”

5. She Doesn’t Stress About The Small Stuff

Gonzalez tells MMA Uncaged that she has learned to not let the hard things bother her too much. While she admits that this is hard for her to do, she is still working on it. “I think one of the toughest lessons I’ve had to learn in my life is, if I can’t change something, if I can’t affect it, why let that stress me out? Why let that bother me? Why let that affect me?”

1. She Eats Healthy

Gutiérrez opened up about her wellness and beauty secrets to People. She says that the number one beauty and wellness tip she has is to eat healthy. “The best beauty advice is to eat healthy,” she said. “Forget all the creams and makeup. There is nothing better than eating healthy. It will make your skin look radiant, fresh and make you feel good on the inside so it shows on the outside.”

2. She Does A Lot Of Different Exercises

Gutiérrez also broke down her favorite workouts to People, and she likes to do a lot of different things. “I try to exercise a lot, so the day I want to sin with a desert, a pizza or burger, I can do it without guilt,” she said. “I like functional fitness, using my body’s own weight. I love boxing, cardio, jumping rope. An hour a day is more than enough.”

3. She Wears Clothes She’s Comfortable In

Gutiérrez is a gorgeous woman, and isn’t afraid to show off her body. She tells People that the reason she feels comfortable wearing these clothes is because she’s comfortable in them. “If you don’t feel comfortable when you are trying on a bathing suit, no matter how pretty it is, you won’t feel comfortable when you wear it to the pool or the beach,” she said. “I really like triangle shaped bikinis and now I’m using a lot of heart shaped ones. I like bathing suits from the 1930s. They accentuate a woman’s figure really well.”

4. She Has Two Personal Trainers

Gutiérrez, like many people, likes to workout with a personal trainer. However, she tells OceanDrive.com, that she has two personal trainers instead of just one. She says that she does different types of exercises with each trainer. “Every day I do an hour of Pilates with @ananda_pilates. I also have a beast as a trainer in Miami: @yaspersonaltrainer. He’s amazing.”

5. She Moves Past The Negativity

When Gutiérrez competed at the Miss Universe pageant, host Steve Harvey infamously announced her as the winner, when in fact, she was the runner-up. She tells OceanDrive.com, that the aftermath was difficult, but she managed to move past her depression. “After everything happened—I wanted to die. I had depression and all the bad things I can imagine. And then I was like, 'You know what? This is not going to break me.' So it took time, but yes, I do see the silver lining.”

“Today feels like sunshine and rainbows and all the most beautiful colors. I feel so happy and hopeful. Crazy to think just 2 days ago I was scared and hurting because i was feeling the darkest i’ve felt mentally in a long time. In that moment I didn’t think i’d feel this good again. This is your sign to keep going because tomorrow could be the most beautiful, bright day. The world NEEDS you around 💕🌻🌱✨☀️♥️ I LOVE YOU!” she wrote once.

2. She Says We Should Celebrate Ourselves

Sailor appeared on Good Morning America in a segment that focused on an eating disorder. “I’m a little upset about the GMA piece that aired this morning,” she wrote in an Instagram Story in responce. “I have nothing but respect for GMA and Deborah [Roberts], and have nothing negative to say about either one.” However: “I understand that ‘comparisons to model mom’ and ‘eating disorder struggles’ are great taglines for click bait on news outlets. But when I agreed to do this interview I was under the impression that it would be in a positive light and would be inspirational,” she wrote. “I ONLY agreed to do it during this awful time in America because I thought it would be a small beacon of positivity for people who have dealt with the same things as me.” She added: “I did NOT want to throw a pity party for myself. I did NOT want the interview to be highlighting the dark times. 95% of what I said during the interview got cut. Including thank you to health care workers & essential workers, as well as acknowledging how awful and heartbreaking this time is for so many.” She concluded: “We have to collectively learn to praise and CELEBRATE ourselves more often, because life passes by so quickly and it’s a shame to spend so much of it worrying that you aren’t good enough,” she wrote. “Because as long as you’re here on Earth and you have a body to love and voice to be heard YOU ARE GOOD ENOUGH and you deserve happiness.”

3. She Says You are an Important Part of the Universe

“This is me, feeling down. But the sun shone right into my window and some birds flew right next to my car, at the same moment. They were my reminders today that it’s all alright. And to anyone who’s going through it right now. Heres your reminder. You are an important part of this universe and i love you,” she captioned the post.

4. She Says This About Body Image

“I've had issues with my body image since before I can even remember. I grew up not loving how I looked and felt held back because of it. I don't know why I always felt that way, sure I had baby fat and definitely went through a plethora of awkward phases, but I had a family that loved me i had friends who made me laugh etc. But for some reason I still looked in the mirror and always somehow found something to pick on. I went from being ‘too fat’ to ‘too thin’ to ‘too muscular’ and I never felt satisfied. My body and I have been through it all. But recently I have been liberated. I am healthy, i treat myself well, and for that i'm happy. I've looked in the mirror and been able to LOVE the things about my body that beauty norms deem 'undesirable'. I now have grown to know that my body is worthy of so many great things. I don't need to be a size 0 to believe in myself. My body carries me each and every day, it loves the people i love, it holds what makes me healthy and strong, it bends it shakes it runs and it CHANGES. That is okay and that is beautiful,” she once wrote.

5. She Has This Message for Her 15-Year-Old Self

“I am so proud of you. I am so proud of you for that day you finally stopped counting the calories in your meals. And for eating that first bowl of your fear food. I am so proud of you for throwing away that measuring tape. I am so proud of you for being brave enough to go out to eat with your friends that one night in 11th grade. And for ordering something off your meal plan. Your bravery that night changed everything. I am so proud of you for starting to go to the gym to feel good, and not to set a calorie burn goal. I am so proud of you for deciding you’ll never take a body checking video again. And for sticking to that. I am so proud of you for looking in the mirror and relearning how you deserve to feel about your self. I am so proud of you for pushing yourself through the thoughts in your mind every single day and for choosing to be free. I am so proud of you. Because even in the harder moments. Even when your mind tricked you back into it, you kept pushing on in the fight. You were consistent and it wasn’t easy. You had everything going against you but you did it. And I have your bravery to thank for the absolute joy my life has been filled with since. For anyone fighting an eating disorder or for anyone who’s put their life on pause because you don’t think you deserve happiness because of the way you look. You can do it. I know you can do it because I did it. You deserve the life you dream about. And you deserve it today,” she once wrote.
