Bringing Up Bates' Josie Bates in Workout Gear Says "It Felt So Good to Move My Body"

Josie Bates is getting back in shape after baby in her workout clothes. In a new social media post the Bringing Up Bates star shows off her postpartum body during a sweat session with her trainer. “It felt so good to move my body,” she exclaims in the Instagram video, explaining that after welcoming a baby two months ago, she lost all her muscle. How does the reality star approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Water with Lemon

In another video Josie reveals her healthy habits. She starts her day by hydrating, drinking a glass of water with lemon. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

2. Workout Buddy

Josie has a workout buddy: Her husband. During her healthy habits video she does an at-home workout with her hubby, lifting weights on a mat and following along to a video. Having a workout buddy is a great way to keep yourself accountable and also give you extra motivation to exercise.

Josie is a coffee drinker. In the video she makes coffee with her Nespresso machine. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

4. Skiing

Josie hits the slopes with her family. “Ski you later, Colorado!! We had the most fun and made the best memories,” she captioned an Instagram post.

5. Meal Delivery Service

Josie enjoys cooking healthy meals at home by using meal kits. “I love being in the kitchen with this handsome guy. Making dinner is always more fun together. 🥰 With home chef we get to experience all the fun of cooking without any of the hard part! We get to cook without any of the prep, try new and delicious meals, and It’s always quick and easy! The only hard part is choosing which meal to make first,” she wrote in a caption.

6. StrengthTraining

In her Instagram video, Josie works out with her personal trainer, doing strength training exercises in a method referred to as AMRAP (as many reps as possible.) “Once we warmed up and stretched, this is a 20 minute workout, and we did five pull-ups, 10 pushups, and then 20 air squats. And we just did those until the timer ran out. So as many as we could fit in, that's what we did,” she says in the clip.

Professional wrestler Cassie Lee is getting fans hyped up for her eventual return to wrestling after taking time off to have a baby. Lee shared a throwback picture of herself looking sultry in a metallic bathing suit. “Good morning 🌞,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Lee 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. Working Out Is Self-Love

Cassie Lee says working out is the ultimate sign of self-love. “I workout because I love my body. And pizza. I love pizza!” she says. “Many people who have mental health concerns are not enthusiastic about starting a medication for the rest of their lives, and are interested in pursuing other options. Exercise might be one of those options,” says Jacob Meyer, an exercise psychologist at Iowa State University.

2. Barbell Bench Press

Lee lifts weights to build strength, including barbell bench presses. Strength training is very beneficial for athletes, experts say. “There is no doubt that an appropriate weight-training program would improve efficiency in pretty much any athlete,” says Gary R. Hunter, a professor of exercise physiology at the University of Alabama at Birmingham.

3. Dance Classes

Lee started taking dance classes as a fun, different way to exercise. “The best exercise program is one that is safe, balanced, promotes fitness and, importantly, one that people will do regularly because they enjoy it,” says Polly de Mille, exercise physiologist at the Women’s Sports Medicine Center at Hospital for Special Surgery. “The social aspects of dance help to make it very attractive for an increasing number of people versus, say, an elliptical training machine. Scientific studies are now also telling us that many things make dancing an excellent fitness regimen with attractive benefits.”

4. Glute Exercises

Lee works hard on her glutes, using exercises such as glute kickbacks. "Strong gluteals are important for proper pelvic alignment, propulsion during walking and running, and even standing on one leg,” says Amy Koch, MPT, COMT. “Gluteals also help support the lower back during lifting, and help prevent knee injuries."

5. A Typical Workout

Here is a typical workout for Lee, as shared on her Instagram account:

“Give this workout a try! All you need is a chair/ step/ stool. I’m using this box the lovely folks at @theglutebuilder sent me but you can literally use anything that is stable! 🤍walking lunges 1x100

🤍jump squats 5x20

🤍box squats 4x25 (don’t transfer your weight onto your box, just tap it with your toosh 🍑)

🤍step ups 2x50

🤍hip thrusts 5x20 (squeeze at the top for 3 seconds, lower to the floor for 2 seconds, then shoot back up in 1 second & continue that tempo)

🤍mountain climbers 5x20.”

Jordyn Woods says she works out for the mental and well as physical benefits—so no wonder the socialite wrapped up the week on a euphoric note. Woods, 26, shared a selfie of herself wearing black workout gear in her car, fresh from an intense strength training workout. “No better feeling than ending your Friday with a strong lift 💪,” she captioned the post. Woods has lost weight, gained strength, and looks better than ever—here’s what her fitness and training routine looks like.

1. Proud of Her Progress

Woods is thrilled when she sees her own fitness progress. "I have a love-hate relationship with cardio,” she told E! News. “Weights, squats, I feel like it all plays an important role. Just staying consistent and doing something everyday whether it's walking, jogging, squats, weights at home or going to the gym. I feel like a little bit of something every day is very helpful. I look back to videos of me working out five months ago or two months ago and I'm like, ‘Wow!' Because I do it everyday, so much has changed so fast."

2. Weight Loss Through Hard Work

Woods says she lost weight “the traditional way”, and worked hard for great results. “One of my favorite workouts to do involves a couple of various things. I like to challenge myself with sumo squats, starfish toe touches, scissor leg raises and lying knee tucks,” she told Hollywood Life. “I will do twelve to fifteen reps of those and repeat it three to four times. If you are not sweating after that and don’t get a good workout from there I don’t know what to say because that gets me going and really is something that works pretty great for me. If you check my app, you will see how I do it. I would love to see how others react to it and what they get out of it themselves!”

3. Empowered By Workouts

Woods admits going to the gym is still sometimes nerve-racking, but loves how she feels afterwards. “Going to the gym can always be intimidating because you never know who's going to be there, or what you're going to do — especially if you've never worked out before,” she told Teen Vogue. “I still get intimidated sometimes going to the gym. But you always leave the gym feeling more empowered than you did than when you came.”

4. Resistance Band Workouts

Woods takes resistance bands with her when she’s traveling. “I love to do workouts with bands,” she told Hollywood Life “I will just use bands and anything you can find around the house because not all the time can I go to the gym, so me being on the road all the time and traveling it all has to be about convenience for me at the end of the day. So, doing banded workouts is super helpful and to mix it up with the bands is the way to go.”

5. Mental Health Benefits

Woods works out for the mental health benefits over vanity. “For me, working out wasn't to ever look a certain way, it was for my physical health but more importantly, my mental health,” she told Teen Vogue. “I feel like mental health is not something people are vocal enough about, but it’s something that everyone struggles with. I push it away, other people's opinions, because as long as I'm happy, it doesn't really matter what anyone has to say. I'm the person in my skin. I'm the person in my own body. And a lot of people just need to love themselves and focus on them and they wouldn't be worried about what anyone else is doing.”

These programs can even help patients with type 2 diabetes to eat healthier, lower blood pressures and blood sugars, and lose weight.

If I’m honest, I lost a little too much weight after my divorce, and I would be lying if I said I didn’t enjoy the number I saw. But that’s an unhealthy way to look at it. It should never be about the number. It should be about how you feel,” she explained. “I have been actively becoming strong again for me. I look at this pic now and I’m proud of myself for the hard work and commitment to loving myself. This body made two beautiful humans. I’m proud of my body."

Working out is 100% how I stay level."
