Hattie Boydle is taking a selfie of her amazing body. In a new social media post the bodybuilder shows off her super chiseled body while in an elevator, wearing a two-piece workout set that highlights her incredible abs. “Damn,” commented one of her followers, while another added 🔥🔥 emojis. 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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. It is also time effective.

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.”
