How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Heavy Weights and Circuit Training

What workout routine does Hattie prefer? “A combination of heavy weights and circuit training changed my life! German Volume and split training has also shaped my body like nothing else,” she told Simply Shredded.

2. Her Favorite Exercises

Hattie has three favorite exercises:

1. Squats: “There is nothing like having a good squat day! I get under the bar and everything just glides! Plus there are so many variations it’s hard to get bored,” she says.
2. Back Extensions: “With my toes turned out, is one of my favorite exercises. For years I would get a sore lower back, and it wasn’t until I put this bad boy into my routine that I started to get rid of my back pain,” she explains.
3. Hip Thrusts: “On a decline bench with a barbell is another great ‘burner’ for my glutes. This year, when I was 9 weeks out from the WBFF World titles, I fractured my foot and could no longer squat, sprint, lunge or put pressure on my foot. This exercise helped me train through it, and I was able to keep my posterior chain and strength levels in check,” she says.

3. HIIT

When Hattie is trying to cut, she does “HIIT for sure,” she tells Simply Shredded. “I like a challenge, and I enjoy the short bursts of intensity.” There is lots of research backing up the benefits of HIIT workouts, including body fat reduction, improved cardiovascular function, and mental health.

5. Flexible Dieting

Hattie is a “flexible dieter or IIFYM,” she tells Simply Shredded. “I know this is a controversial topic in the industry, but to be honest it has played a huge role in my recovery from anorexia. Off season, my macros are around 160 grams of protein, 280 grams of carbs and 70 grams of fat. During contest prep my macros are around 170 grams of protein, 140 grams of carbs and 55 grams of fat. I have no restriction on my food, but I must meet my target goals daily.”

Hattie Boydle is a fitness influencer and trainer. She recently shared some of her favorite upper body workouts on Instagram. In it, she is seen lifting weights, doing lateral pulldowns, and shoulder presses. Boydle captioned the post, “Train Upper Body With Me ✊🏽Recently my sessions are consisting of a balanced approach to push and pull, compound to isolated. I have kept volume down as my goal is to just maintain my upper body development which means volume is kept around 6 total sets per upper body movements.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Hattie Boydle stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Works Her Upper Body

In her Instagram post’s caption, Boydle talked about the importance of training her upper body. “The reason I don’t neglect upper body altogether is because I need to maintain strength to perform my heavy compounds like RDL’s and deadlifts for my lower body development, as well maintain good posture in general.”

2. She Gradually Increased The Amount Of Weight She Lifts

Boydle shared some of her secrets for getting in shape in this post's caption. In it, she revealed that she gradually increased the amount of weight she lifted. “I started training for STRENGTH. Every week I applied a little more effort by adding 5% more load to my lifts. When I couldn’t increase the load, I increased my reps on my heaviest loads.”

3. She Took Recovery Days

In the previous post’s caption, Boydle talked about the importance of recovery. “I took recovery days. I went from training 7 days a week down to 5 and now it’s down to 4. Fatigue masks effort. Because I was so tired, training felt hard. I was confused with training hard and only being able to give what I could being tired. Once I started to have full recovery days I was able to > increase load > motivation increased = better intensity > my body responded BETTER to training.”

4. She Planned Her Meals

Boydle also revealed how she changed her diet in the caption of the previous post. “I improved my overall planning of my meals. Instead of fasting or limiting my food in the morning and backloading it at night, I started to eat more in the day to support my training and recovery. This helped me recomp my body > build muscle drop fat and improve my overall habits with food. I also improved my consistency with tracking. This allowed me to be more mindful of my weekends and more balanced with my approach to social events.”

1. She Works Hard

Matta makes sure to work hard. She talked about the importance of doing so in this Instagram post’s caption. “There’s a time for everything in life.A time to rest,to just listen to your inner voice ,and a time to stand up and fight. Sometimes you lose the way or probably you just don’t see where you’re moving to … It’s time for me to move forward…Let’s walk the path of heroes,then!”

2. She Works Her Quads

Matta doesn’t skip leg day. Specifically, she doesn’t skip quad day. Matta shared this video on Instagram of herself doing a quad exercise. She captioned the post, “My favorite quads warm up !!🤣😎(WARNING:Just for very healthy knees!😉).” According to The Cleveland Clinic, having strong quads are important. “Your quad muscles, or quadriceps femoris, are a group of muscles at the front of your thigh. Together, they contain more mass than any other muscle group in your body. You use your quads to perform a variety of movements, including kicking, running, jumping and walking.”

3. She Increases Resistance

Matta makes sure to push herself when she’s working out. One thing she likes to do is increase the amount of resistance on an exercise. Matta shared this video of herself doing that on Instagram. She captioned it, “Experimenting with part 2. Thanks to my favorite pupil @asiacallegari9 for the constant encouragement .. We keep growing, day by day, together.... ❤️😎Two versions of the same exercise, with only resistance and with higher intensity resistance and weighted ankle in the second part of the video… Give it a try and let me know! 😉 and of course.. WATCH OUT for execution 😎”

4. She Does Leg Extensions

One lower body workout that Matta enjoys doing is leg extensions. In this video she posted on Instagram, Matta is seen using the leg extension machine. She captioned the post, “Back on track …Hard training first!😎 Thanks to my amazing friend @robysidotiphotographer.” Asphalt Green states that the exercise is very beneficial. “These machines provide isolation exercises for your legs. This type of exercise works only one muscle or group of muscles, which means you can build up that part of your body quickly. If you want your thigh muscles to really stand out in those shorts you just bought, the leg extension machine is for you!”

5. She Strength Trains

Being a bodybuilder, Matta does a lot of strength training to maintain her figure. She is seen using weights in this Instagram video. 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. Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities.”

Jessica Buettner is a very successful powerlifter. She is known for winning the IPF World Championships twice. Buettner is recovering from a back injury, and is sharing her recovery process on Instagram. In a video, she is seen doing some weightlifting exercises. Buettner captioned the post, “Training recap 🤡😂 tweaked my back about 3 weeks ago, nothing serious but I’m annoyed at myself for doing it nonetheless because once it seizes up I work long hours standing and it is hard to get back to normal. An ongoing problem for me a couple times a year for the past several years. Anyways, @miketuchscherer has put less specific movements in my program to help me recover and also in the last couple weeks reintroduced squats and deadlifts using the @reactivetrainingsystems framework for doing that and so far it’s been working very well. I also got some advice and adjusted how I stand at work and it’s helping too.”

1. She Lifts Weights

Buettner lifts weights to keep herself in shape. ACE Fitness states that weightlifting has a lot of benefits. “Using heavy weights increases intramuscular coordination, the number of type II motor units and the amount of muscle fibers engaged within a specific muscle. Have you ever felt your muscles shaking while lifting heavy weights? This is because you are recruiting and activating the larger type II muscle fibers, which are only stimulated to work when a muscle is challenged with heavy resistance or working to fatigue.”

2. She Deadlifts

Buettner likes to do deadlifts to keep herself in shape. She is seen doing them in this training video on her Instagram. ACE Fitness states that deadlifts have a lot of benefits. “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.”

3. She Does Squats

Buettner also likes to do squats to stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing them. Buettner captioned the post, “I think this is a rep PR on squats but I’m not sure - either way I’m super happy with the way it moved! Queues I still focus on almost every time I squat: -keeping even foot pressure - keeping the bar secure on my upper back. Bracing comes pretty naturally as I warm up, and I do think about things like improving the speed of my descent, and depth. Anyways, happy lifting everyone!”

4. She Hikes

Buettner doesn’t just workout in the gym. She also likes to spend time outside. One thing she likes to do is to go for hikes. Buettner shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself hiking in Malta. She captioned the post, “An amazing day in Malta 📍trained, saw some ancient ruins, a cathedral and some amazing sights. They introduced a one day break in the competition schedule at IPF worlds this year and I’m a big fan.”

5. She Doesn’t Focus On Being Perfect

Buettner doesn’t focus on being perfect, especially on social media. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “A quick tip to make you feel better if you’re filming yourself in a brightly lit gym. Most people probably know this trick for giving your videos dark Batman vibes, but at any rate remember social media is mostly an illusion and even people like me who don’t edit/photoshop photos still do things like this. Little things that really overemphasize a physique. Anyways have a good day everyone 💪”
