Cass Martin is a trainer. She has developed quite a large following on Instagram. Martin shares a lot of her workouts on her page. She recently shared some of her favorite back exercises. In the post, Martin is seen lifting weights, doing lateral pulldowns, and doing pull-ups. Martin captioned the post, “Back day.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Cass Martin stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Lifts Weights

Martin also likes to lift weights. She is seen using dumbbells and landmines in her Instagram post. ACE Fitness states that lifting weights have a lot of benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

2. She Does Ab Workouts

Martin makes sure to work her abs. She shared some of her favorite standing workouts in this Instagram post. Martin captioned the post, “Standing Ab Workout♥︎ 3 Rounds. Side Crunch-20 seconds on each side. Weighted Overhead Marches-20 seconds. Alternating Toe Touch-20 seconds. Weighted Knee to Elbow-20 seconds.”

3. She Works Her Lower Body

Martin doesn’t skip leg day. She shared some of her favorite lower body workouts in this Instagram post. She captioned it, “Starting the week off with an all Dumbbell Hamstring and Glute workout🥰🔥This workout can be easily be done at the gym or at home with limited equipment💪🏼 →DB RDLs-Toe Raised 4 Sets 12,12,10,8. →DB Sumo Squats 4 Sets 12,12,10,10. →DB Curtsy Lunges 4 Sets 10,10,8,8. →Lying DB Hamstring Curls 4 Sets 12,12,10,10. →DB Hip Thrust 4 Sets 15,15,12,12.”

4. She Works Her Shoulders

Martin likes to do shoulder exercises. She shared some of her favorites in this Instagram video. In it, Martin is seen doing PVC dislocates, pec stretches, scapular dips, and others. She captioned the post, “Keep your joints healthy & injury-free!💪🏼I aim to do these movements at least twice a week! Not only do I feel like it’s helped me with stiffness in my shoulders & throughout my spine, but doing these have also helped me to go deeper into my range of motion with my upper body lifts, all while improving my blood flow & circulation! Trust me, your body will thank you & you can continue to challenge yourself & improve over time.”

5. She Does Pull-Ups

As you can see in her post, Martin likes to do pull-ups to stay fit. Gymless states that these have a lot of benefits. “Pull ups and chin ups are a multi-joint movement, meaning that they engage multiple muscle groups (lats, biceps, shoulders, and upper back). They promote overall upper body muscle development and can lead to some serious strength gains.”

Cass Martin, a successful bodybuilder known for her stunning physique and inspiring content, regularly shares her fitness journey on Instagram. Recently, she posted a series of photos posing in purple workout clothes, captioning the post, “Last slide, what’s the first word you see?” Her followers flooded the comments with admiration, with one noting that she is “insanely gorgeous and so sculpted.” Martin’s dedication to her craft is evident in every post, and her commitment to maintaining peak physical condition is truly inspiring. Here’s a closer look at some of her favorite workouts and healthy habits that help her stay in top shape.


1. She Works Her Core

Martin has an amazing core, and she makes sure to do a lot of exercises to maintain it. She shared these videos on Instagram of herself doing some of her favorites. In them, Martin is seen doing things like, tucks with a weight, superman holds, and seated pike leg lifts. The Mayo Clinic states that core workouts are extremely important. “Your core is the central part of your body. It includes your pelvis, lower back, hips and stomach. The stomach muscles sometimes are called abs. Core exercises train the muscles in your core to work in harmony. This leads to better balance and steadiness, also called stability. Stability is important whether you're on the playing field or doing regular activities. In fact, most sports and other physical activities depend on stable core muscles.”

2. She Makes Green Juice

Martin likes to drink green juice. She shared one of her favorite recipes in this Instagram post. “This is one of my most favorite green drinks to make in my @huromamerica juicer! ♥︎ I drink a huge glass of this almost every single morning! It’s called The Lemon Ginger Blast! It’s a very powerful drink filled with so many enzymes & minerals! Not only does it detox your body from the inside out, it also is great for: • Enhancing circulation. • Stimulating your digestive system. • Strengthens your immune system. • Clears out mucous & is anti-parasitic. • Antifungal, antibacterial, & super Antioxidant. • So many more benefits!”

3. She Does Pull Ups

In this Instagram video, Martin is seen doing pull ups. Gymless states that the exercise has a lot of benefits. “Pull-ups are one of the most fundamental calisthenics exercises that build up your strength and endurance in the upper body. It is commonly used as a form of physical test from schools all the way up to the military. Many athletes from all sports backgrounds use pull-ups in their training, which makes this one of the best exercises for building the upper body and developing a bigger and stronger back.”

4. She Does Lunges

Martin doesn’t skip leg day. She shared some of her favorite workouts in this Instagram video. In it, Martin is seen doing lunges with a weight. ACE Fitness reports that lunges have a lot of benefits. “Lunges work the biggest muscles in your lower body — mainly the quadriceps, gluteus maximus, and the adductor magnus (the muscle in your inner thigh). Other muscles that come into play are the hamstrings, gluteus medius, calves, and core stabilizers, says Susane Pata, content strategist for the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and NASM-certified personal trainer based in Miami.”

5. She Strength Trains

Martin likes to strength train to stay in shape. In this Instagram video, she is seen doing things like incline dumbbell presses, cable tricep pushdowns, and using the chest press machine. The Mayo Clinic reports that strength training can be very effective. “Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories.”

Andrea Shaw is tackling leg day – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the bodybuilder shows off her amazing figure and impressive strength during an intense workout session at the gym. “Another leg day in the books. Having specific glute and hamstring focused days is something new for me as of this past prep but I’m enjoying it,” she captioned the Instagram clip. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


1. Her “Life Is Bodybuilding”

Andrea devotes herself to staying in shape. “There is a lot that goes into it,” she told BarBend. “My life is bodybuilding — almost exclusively for three months out of the year. I have to give it my best.”

2. She Trains Every Day

“I train every single day,” she said. “The goal is to work out seven days a week and to train each body part twice a week. The average person training is hitting a body part once a week. So, after four weeks, they’ve only trained that body part four times. If I train everything twice a week, I’ve hit that body part eight times in that same four weeks.”

3. Back Day Workout

On back day she focuses on her lower back, lats, and traps, while indirectly working her biceps. She does 10 exercises performing sets at a fast pace.

  • Rack Pull: 5 x 8-12
  • Pendlay Row: 4 x 8-10
  • Barbell Shrug: 4 x 8-12
  • Barbell Upright Row: 4 x 8-12
  • Bent-Over Barbell Shrug: 4 x 8-12
  • Wide-Grip Pull-up: 2 x 6
  • Narrow-Grip Pull-up: 2 x 6
  • Bent-Over Straight Arm Pulldown: 4 x 12
  • Wide-Grip Pulldown: 4 x 12
  • Face Pull: 4 x 12

4. Chest and Glute Day Workout

Shaw does two chest-specific moves on these days, including the side-by-side chest press. She also does glute bridges into the workout with dumbbells and five sets of farmer’s carry.

  • Flat Dumbbell Bench Press: 6 x 8-12
  • Side-by-Side Chest Press: 6 x 8-12
  • Glute Bridge: 5 x 8-12
  • Farmer’s Carry with Dumbbells: 5 sets

5. Leg Day Workout

On leg day Andrea starts with warmups and then moves onto doing 25 total sets of a chosen exercise.For example, she might go on the leg curl machine, select a weight, and perform a single rep each, rest a minute, then do two reps with the same weight, followed by three, and on and on until 25 reps. She ends up doing 325 reps. “When I finish that, my legs are humming,” she joked.

Jena Sims is getting her sweat on in her sleek, home gym. In a new social media post the model shows off her amazing figure in a two-piece Alo exercise set during a lower body workout with her trainer, Olivia Figueroa. “Never met a lower body day we didn’t like @jenamsims 🍑🍑🍑🍑 lean, toned, strong, intentional, sexy,” the personal trainer captioned the video clip. These "days are the best days!” added Sims. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Strength Training

When it comes to building muscle, strength training is Sims go-to method. “I’m not a calm, soothing Pilates, yoga princess. I’m like, ‘Scream at me.’ I want to be dripping sweat,” she continued. “I want loud music, heavy weights. For my body type, I like to lift weights because I don’t need to do a lot of cardio. I find that lifting weights has been the most beneficial,” she told Fox. “I've been working on just upping my weights a little bit,” she added to Daily Mail. “I can get into this sweet spot and get kind of in a plateau of working out, so I upped my weights after seeing her video because I was so impressed by what she did with her fitness. I'm trying to lift heavier. Trying to build a [backside].”

Exercise Classes

Jena enjoys group fitness. “My favorite type of workout is F45,” she told FOX. “It’s just a 45-minute class. And I think I like it so much because they play amazing music and it’s so loud.”

No Diets

Jena doesn’t diet. Even if she has a big shoot or runway show ahead of her, “ all I'm doing is just eating as clean as I can, but I'm still splurging,” she told Daily Mail. “Like, I had four dinner rolls last night at this charity event as well as my meal.”

Barre Workouts

Jena also likes to “mix it up” when it comes to exercise. She loves Pure Barre classes, a fusion of yoga, Pilates, and ballet and a “full body, low impact workout” for everybody, according to the brand. “Barre helps strengthen and tone your muscles without increasing bulk, and it improves your posture. It also increases cardiovascular endurance and metabolism, which helps to quickly burn calories. Regular barre workouts can increase your bone density, which can help prevent conditions like osteoporosis,” adds Barre studio Physique 57.

Here is How to Get Her Abs

Jena’s trainer recently shared her ab workout:

weighted march - 20 reps

side crunch - 10 reps

sit up + twist - 10 reps

knee tuck - 20 reps

Brittne Jackson, aka Brittne Babe, is sharing her back day workout. In a new social media post the fitness influencer flaunts her amazing figure in a yellow two-piece exercise set, revealing the exercises responsible for her jaw-dropping physique. “Down for a strong, toned, and sexy back? Do you want symmetry and a V shape? Don’t. Skip. Back. Day ladiesss,” she captioned the Instagram video. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


1. At Least 3 Workout Sessions Per Week

Brittne spends a lot of time in the gym. “I work out at least 3 times a week (when I film). I create the workout plans for my babes in my BrittCamp, in full length. I love to share with my followers how my body is being shaped with the exercises I do. That’s why the workouts that you see on my Instagram account are the workouts I do to create my physique,” she told Women’s Best.

2. Dance and Track and Field

Brittne explains that she was “born into fitness,” and has been moving her body her whole life. “I was enrolled in dancing school at 2 years old, ran cross country in middle school, and soared off with track & field in the 200M and 4x200M relay events throughout high school/ college. Fitness was always my lifestyle so that part came natural. However, I started taking the health part seriously once I entered the industry 10 years ago. I LOVE what I do and helping along the way!”

3. Eating in Moderation

Brittne Jackson.3Brittne Jackson/Instagram

Brittne avoids the “D” word. “I do not believe in the word diet. I eat what I feel like eating in moderation,” she told Women’s Best. She starts her day with a protein shake. “I eat a salad a day and drink a lot of water,” she says. “My dinner usually contains rice, protein, and greens so I eat pretty healthy by default.” She also avoids cheat days. “I live my life on my terms. I focus on making healthy choices the majority of the week and have ice cream, brownies or cheesecake if I am out for dinner.”

4. Meal Prepping

Brittne is a big fan of meal prepping. “My favorite prep meal is brown rice, chicken, and baby spinach,” she says. She offers some advice on how to design a plan. “Create a menu based on the plan what you would like to eat and how much time you can spend on healthy cooking and meal preparation. Then create your shopping list that includes all the ingredients. Stay away from a bunch of recipes at the beginning because you do not want to get overwhelmed. Keep your food prep menu super simple and make sure that the meals include protein, greens, and carb,” she says. Studies support meal prepping for healthy eating. The more meals you eat prepared away from home, the higher your risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and early death. And, one study published in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity found meal planning was associated with a healthier diet and less obesity.

5. Back Workout

Here is Brittne’s dumbbell only back workout:

  • rotation - extension
  • all around the world
  • rotation
  • press out - back extension
  • back attack
  • push ups

Jennifer Love Hewitt is a very successful actress. She is known for roles on TV shows like Party of Five, Ghost Whisperer, The Client List, and Criminal Minds. She currently stars on the TV series 9-1-1. Hewitt is also known for movie roles like I Know What You Did Last Summer, Can’t Hardly Wait and Heartbreakers.

The secret behind Hewitt’s impressive abs? EmSculpt. She shared this photo on Instagram of herself doing it. Hewitt captioned the post, “Getting in one of my favorite ‘workouts’ before Thanksgiving! This mom of three is a huge fan of #EmsculptNeo for strengthening my core and helping to heal my diastasis recti.”

She Uses An Ice Roller

Hewitt has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it. She shared some of her favorite products in an interview with Good Housekeeping. Hewitt says that she likes to use an ice roller.

One of Hewitt’s biggest skincare secrets? Keeping it moisturized. Hewitt shared her favorite moisturizer and lip balm with Good Housekeeping.

On Instagram, Hewitt revealed the secret behind her impressive eyebrows. "I have been using this product and I'm noticing people bringing up my brows. I don't have anything on them today really, except this product, but it's the Rare Beauty lifting gel stuff. I mean, Selena, 'thank you' is all I can say. I love it, so I'm going to put it up so that you know what it is, but that's what it is. That is the brow lifting that people are talking about. That's all I got."

She Does a Variety of Workouts

For Hewitt, fitness is all about variety. “I try to switch it up a bit,” she told OK! Magazine. “I’ve found that if every week I do something different it tricks my muscles into not getting used to doing any one thing. I’ve been doing pilates, I’ve been doing yoga, I’ve done just plain old walking. I wear 10 pound weights on my ankles while I’m working just so that as I’m moving during the day I’m constantly building muscle. It’s not great for your back but I’m doing it anyway. I do a booty workout thing that I just did for Shape, which was really fun. And I do Zumba. I have DVDs and I dance around like a crazy person in my house.”

She Builds Confidence

Hewitt tells People that she wants to build her confidence up. “I think I’m a work in progress,” she admits. “[But] I feel it’s so much better than [it was] a year-and-a-half ago, and I feel like in another eight months, it’s going to be so much better than it is today.”

She Wants to be a Role Model

Hewitt tells People that she wants to be a role model for others. In it, she shared the advice she gives to young girls. “When I meet young girls, I’m always like, ‘Just do me one favor. Love what you look like right now – and remember I said it 10 years from now because it’s the greatest gift I can give.’”

Over the past few years, Sydney Sweeney has become one of America’s sweethearts with celebrated roles in everything from hit HBO shows Euphoria and White Lotus to big-screen movies Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Anyone But You. In addition to her impressive acting ability, the star is a total bombshell and has one of the fittest figures in Hollywood. Here are the top 5 habits that help her stay fit at 27.

Water Skiing

Sydney has been water skiing since she was a toddler. “The moment I could walk, my mom put me on what’s called a U-board to learn how to ski,” she told Women’s Health. “I remember that whenever we would go by the docks of my grandma’s or my cousin’s house, I’d wave. I felt so cool because I could take off one hand. That’s my earliest memory of skiing, but I’ve been doing it as long as I can remember. It’s my favorite.” How does it help her achieve her amazing body? “It’s a lot of upper body strength, it’s balance, it’s core, it’s legs—you get tired really fast,” she says. “I see such a change in my body after an entire summer of [skiing]. My arms are stronger, more sculpted. My abs are rock solid. But I never look at it as a workout because it is so much fun,” she said.

Morning Workouts

Sydney mixes up her exercise routine, but likes to get workouts over with early in the day. “I like to work out in the morning, so I’ll either go for a run or I’ll go to Solidcore,” says Sydney. The high-intensity, low-impact Pilates-inspired workout “makes me feel so strong, but also elongated,” Sydney said about her sweat sessions. “I feel so good afterwards.”

Self-Care

Sydney engages in self-care activities. “I love to paint, and I love to read,” she said. “Those are the activities that are just for me.” One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years than those who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

She Walks and Hikes

One of the ways she treats her anxiety is by spending time outdoors with her dog, Tank. She takes him on walks or hikes. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Mariana Morais is showing off her ab-fab figure – in a two-piece exercise set. In a new social media post, the fitness influencer flaunts her fantastic figure in a brown sports bra and leggings. “Self Progress & Development is not always linear. Sometimes we take steps back & that’s just a sign to course correct so we can leap forward. If 2024 wasn’t the year you expected, use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, & carry on. It’s you VS you - continue to try, focus on consistency > perfection & you will prevail 🤎 rooting for us all to strengthen our mind & bodies this year,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Strength Training

Mariana relies on old-school strength training to keep her body toned. “Training till failure instead of reps + taking my ab routine up a notch by incorporating weighted exercises,” she wrote about one of her workout tactics. “I can feel my muscles being challenged and am in tune with my movements.” 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

Prioritizing Digestion and Getting Blood Work Done

Other healthy habits? “Prioritizing digestion,” she writes in the same post. “Making sure I get enough fiber & starting off every morning with a juice cleanse. This has helped me feel so much better everyday.” She also gets regular blood work done. “So important to check your levels and know what’s going on in your body routinely! Don’t skip the doc apts, always better to be preventative.”

Hiking

Mariana enjoys hiking. “Elevation therapy,” she captioned a post from one of her fitness adventures. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health
  • Decreasing the risk of some respiratory issues

Pilates

Mariana does reformer Pilates. “POV: Stepping into the prettiest torture chamber,” she wrote across a video of herself at the studio. Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Emsculpt NEO

Mariana recently got an aesthetic body treatment, Emsculpt NEO. “I’ve heard all the rage about the benefits to spot reducing fat & toning muscle so I had to give it a try to target those pesky lower abs. It was a 10/10 & a great addition to my workout routine,” she wrote.
