Fitness and bikini model Deniz Saypinar is showing off the results of her constant training, hard work, and discipline. Saypinar, who is the first Turkish woman to achieve IFBB pro status, shared pictures of herself posing at the gym, wearing pink shorts and a sports bra which emphasized her incredibly strong and toned physique. “Bulk or shredded?” she captioned the post. Here’s what Saypinar’s intense wellness and workout regimen looks like.

1. No Sugar

Saypinar avoids sugar and dairy. “I can tell I’m very strict about my diet and I try to stay far from sugar as much as I can,” she told Women Fitness. “When this sport becomes your lifestyle after a few years you start to not to calculate the amount of nutrition and your workout routines occur by the moment you hit the gym. I train 2-3 times a week and rest of the week mostly cardio or full body with light weights.”

2. Muay Thai

Saypinar started her fitness journey with Muay Thai, but wanted to build more muscle. “Being skinny made me feel more insecure and I wanted to look strong and also I wanted to feel strong. Bodybuilding was the best decision for this,” she told MO Marketplace. “I have tried team sports like volleyball, but because I have leader personality, I don”t want to be in a team if I don’t lead.”

3. No Ab Exercises

Saypinar sees specific core exercises as unnecessary. “I don’t train abs often because if you apply any exercise properly you will be using your core actively,” she told Women Fitness. “As long as you don’t want to grow your abdominal muscles it is enough to work on them while you are applying any exercise. Squats is one of them. Secret to a toned body is diet and good sleep.”

4. Glute Workouts

Saypinar shares her glute workouts online. Here is one of them:

“Smith Machine Sumo Squat(slowly) + Smith Machine Close Leg Deadlift

Barbell Hip Thrust (half movement top of the exercise angle) + High Strength Circle Band Side Step (band on ankle)

Cable Glute Side Kick + Prone Bench Hip Abduction.”

5. Hair and Skin

Saypinar keeps her beauty routine as natural as possible. “Hair and skin health depends on your life routine,” she told Women Fitness. “What you eat, how you sleep or how consistently you train is so important. I do use OUAI hair products and for my skin; I do use organic raw coconut oil after shower. I also do skin peeling / scrub weekly once or twice.”

Sarah Villegas is showing off her “fitness lifestyle.” In a new social media post featuring the bodybuilder, she shows off her amazing figure in a two-piece exercise outfit while holding weights. “First reaction.. OH MY !!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥,” commented a fan. “Incredibile!” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Multiple “Layers” to Conditioning

Sarah told Alina Popa and Lenda Murray about what people should know about conditioning on a recent episode of Femme Flex Friday, per Muscle & Fitness. “I think people need to realize there are multiple layers to that. You have leanness, you have dryness, and you have fullness. And all three of those things are very separate,” Villegas explained. “And when you master each one of those, that’s what gives you conditioning.”

2. Aim for “Leanness”

“A lot of times you can have people that aren’t lean enough, and they say ‘well, I was too full.’ You weren’t too full, you weren’t lean enough,” Sarah said during the interview. You have to start with leanness then focus on water balance and fullness of the muscles. “You have to remember that you can only achieve conditioning if you master all three of those.”

3. It Helps You From Acquiring Too Much Body Fat

“Staying too lean keeps you from growing, but obviously, you know, acquiring too much bodyfat in the offseason keeps you from growing as well,” Sarah added. “You lose your shape, and it can be easy to lose sight on what you need to work on.”

4. Lots of Lower Body “Hard Work”

Sarah explained to RX Muscle that she does a lot of lower body workout. “Now you have the best legs in the women's division. What is a body part that came very easy to you? Are you like one of these maniac trainers, squatting heavy and stuff like that? Was it hard work or was it genetics?” she was asked. “Definitely I would say hard work. I would say that they responded very well, but I train the lights out,” she replied. “And you hear it all the time: You gotta build from the bottom up and legs are the most important muscle. But not a lot of people actually really listen to that and follow through with that,” she says. “I have been relentless with leg training, giving it twice as much time throughout my week, twice as much time on the gym floor. So it's definitely been a lot of work. It does help though that I like training legs. I think, you know, I'm one of those weirdos that thinks it's kind of fun and rewarding, but it's definitely been a lot of hard work.”

5. She Trains Others

Sarah also helps others with a personal training and nutrition program. She explains that it is more than just dieting and lifting weights. “We do everything from personal training to diet, nutrition,” she says. This includes DEXA scans, measurements, tracking, and a “whole program” so people can “reach their ultimate body composition”

Sommer Ray is heating up social media with her latest swimsuit snap. The model and fitness personality, who's huge on social media, flaunted her famous curves in the image, reminding fans that “it’s always summer in my little world.” How does the 25-year-old keep herself so fit? Read on to see 6 ways Sommer Ray stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. She Was a Bodybuilder

Sommer Ray has been lifting weights since she was 14 and even started competing in bodybuilding competitions at 16. She told Cosmopolitan, "it’s a whole different world where many girls are on steroids, and I didn’t want to do that to my body," about why she stopped.

2. She Refuses to Photoshop Her Body

"If there’s something not permanent on my face like a zit, I’ll smooth it," she told Cosmopolitan. "If I take a photo at a bad angle, I just won't post it. I don't Photoshop my body because it would feel like a false advertisement."

3. Her Workouts Are Intense

Sommer is serious about fitness, working out five times a week for up to 90 minutes. She spends two days on her lower body. "If my glutes are sore, I tell myself, 'I probably shouldn't work them today,' " she says. "I just listen to my body." Other than that, she mixes up her workouts. "There’s not a certain exercise or specific workout that’s beneficial," she says. "I switch it up every day and try to make it fun, because as soon as it feels like a job, you don’t want to do it."

4. Her Diet Is Protein Rich

Ray told Cosmopolitan that she eats a whopping 70 grams of protein per day to keep her glutes built. She starts the day with a protein shake and eats five more small meals throughout the day. Because Ray tries to eat 70 grams of protein a day to maintain her glute muscle mass, she starts most mornings with a protein shake, the first of six small meals throughout the day. Grilled chicken, veggies and steamed white rice is one of her go-t0 meals, but she will also indulge in In-and-Out Burger (without the bun) or turkey from Jersey Mike’s. For carbs, she eats starchy veggies and whole grains.

5. She Cheats on the Weekend

Sommer isn’t all work and no play. Occasionally she will have a drink, like tequila, or eat to her cravings. "If I want a slice of pizza, I have a slice of pizza. I want to look good, but I also want to enjoy life," she explained. “If you feel less deprived by eating that piece of cake, or burger and fries, and don’t feel you have to order one of everything off the menu, it could lead to better long-term outcomes,” says Julia Zumpano, RD, LD of the Cleveland Clinic.

6. Confidence Is Key

"I don’t want to motivate women to look like me — I want them to love themselves the way I do," Ray told Cosmopolitan. "Society puts on pressure to look and be a certain way — you're your best when you are confident in yourself." "Rather than talking about physical attributes of your child or others, instead praise his or her personal characteristics such as strength, persistence and kindness. Avoid pointing out negative physical attributes in others or yourself. Don't make or allow hurtful nicknames, comments or jokes based on a person's physical characteristics, weight or body shape," says the Mayo Clinic.
