Nicole Drinkwater is making people laugh in her workout gear. In a new social media post the bodybuilder shows off her sensational body in a crop top and bike shorts, while poking fun at people who expect to grow their glutes immediately. “Get results in one set!” she wrote in the captioned of the Instagram video, doing squats. After the squat, her glutes grew immensely – because she stuffed them. “The tips we deserve,” one of her followers commented. “Always knew you had a BBL,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
1. Squats

In one YouTube video Nicole shares “five different exercises that you could do in the comfort of your own home or outdoors with no equipment for free,” starting with squats. “This will work the entire body. It's a compound exercise, so it works your core, your legs, your bum, your hamstrings, and your calves.
2. Walking Lunges

“Number two, it'll also be another compound exercise, which your walking lunges,” Nicole continues in the clip. “They're very methodically costing on the body. And again, it works your core, your legs, your butt.”
3. Sprinting

“Now, exercise number three would be sprinting. I find that sprinting is very good for impact, it's great for high intensity training and you'll keep your body in a lead exercise,” she says. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.
4. Pushups

“Number four could be pushups,” she says, noting that the simple to execute but difficult move “is another compound exercise working out your arms, your core, and also your legs.”
5. Prone Getups

“Lastly, the fifth exercise would be a prone get ups. “It's very good again for your arms, your core, and also your legs. And it's very metabolically costing the body,” she says.
6. Strength Training

Overall, Nicole is an advocate of weight training, “especially for females,” she says. “A lot of girls tend to do cardio, back in the days, and I think now people are looking to get a more lean physique,” she said. “The way to do that is to do more weight training.” According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:
- Develop strong bones
- Manage your weight
- Enhance your quality of life
- Manage chronic conditions
- Sharpen your thinking skills
7. Consistency

Her next piece of advice is “to stay consistent,” she says. “Too many people start and stop and they find that they're not fine getting the result that they want. So personally for me, I find the people that get the most results are the ones that continuously train every single day, morning, night, whenever you need to. Just make sure you get up and you train.”
