What does her rowing workout consist of and what other exercises keep her fit? Celebwell has all the details about everything you need to know regarding her workout.

1. Running Once or Twice a Week

“I usually run once or twice a week … but I twanged my Achilles so I’m resting it . I can exercise but I can’t run,” Davina wrote in the post. 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.

Davina also revealed details about her rowing routine. “I did 4 mins fast 1 slow, 3 fast, 1 slow… u see where I’m going .. by this point I was KNACKERED. She is doing weeks !!!! On her own !!! And is even celebrating her 50 th out in the Atlantic … this really made me realise how tough it’s going to be if I was struggling after 10 minutes,” she wrote in the catpion.

3. Why Rowing Is a Good Workout

According to AFPA Fitness, a rowing machine exercises your upper body as well as your lower body. “The rowing stroke when using an indoor rower is composed of 65-75% leg work and 25-35% upper body work,” they say.

4. Yoga

Davina also does yoga. “If I have to work out at the end of the day … a yoga session on @ownyourgoalsdavina with @concretejungleyoga is perfect . Just a quick 20 mins but I feel like I did SOMETHING!!!” she captioned a post. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”

5. Exercise Gives Her Confidence

As to why she exercises? "I want to inspire everyone to get up and go do something. Doing anything will make you feel good about yourself – it doesn't have to be a spin class or boxing class, it could be a simple walk. Just do something!" Davina said in another interview with HELLO! "I feel like I just want to show people that you are never too old to do anything. You're never too old to start getting fit,” she continued. "Body confidence is not about the size you are, it is about how you feel about the size that you are. My mental health improves when I eat better and exercise.”

6. Exercise Also Promotes Longevity

Davina added in an interview with Women's Health that she also sweats for longevity. “Previously, my ‘keeping fit and healthy’ was all about my body and making myself look hot in a bikini… and actually, now it’s just about staying alive longer and being in the best possible position to beat anything should it come my way,” she explained.

Chontel Duncan is a fitness trainer and influencer with her own app, Neu Fitness. Duncan recently shared a photo of herself and her boyfriend on Instagram. In it, both of them wore workout clothes. Duncan captioned the post, “We are almost there.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Chontel Duncan stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Jumps Rope

Duncan shared this video on Instagram of herself in the gym. In it, she is seen jumping rope. According to ACE Fitness, jumping rope is a great workout. “Jumping rope can increase the elasticity and resiliency of lower-leg muscles, leading to a reduced risk of lower-leg injuries. Calf raises can strengthen the lower leg, but if the muscle tissue becomes too tight it could increase the risk of a number of lower-leg injuries including achilles tendon strain or plantar fasciitis. Jumping rope regularly strengthens the calf muscles and improves the elasticity of the surrounding tendons and fascia. To increase elasticity, try to land on the ball of the foot first, but let your heels go all of the way down to the ground.”

2. She Uses A Rowing Machine

In the Instagram post, Duncan is also seen using a rowing machine at the gym. The Cleveland Clinic states that using a rowing machine has a lot of benefits. “Your abdominal muscles, lower back, obliques, glutes and hamstrings all get a workout during a session on a rowing machine. If you follow proper form, your core will be engaged during every single step of the rowing process. Strengthening those muscles is also key to maintaining stability and building speed.”

3. She Works Her Glutes

Duncan makes sure to do workouts that work her glutes. She shared her favorites in this Instagram video. She captioned the post, “Here are some low-impact favorites to wake up the toosh before you work out!🍑 AIR SQUATS (slow and controlled, time under tension). 🍑 DEFICIT DOUBLE PULSE ALTERNATING REVERSE LUNGES (yes, it’s a mouthful). 🍑 GOOD MORNINGS (slow and with light weight, if any). 🍑 WEIGHTED DOUBLE PULSE SQUATS (keep it light and focus on depth). I like to do 15 reps of each for 2 rounds. These are just a few of my go-to moves. Stay tuned for more on my app coming soon!”

4. She Does Ladder Workouts

Duncan likes to do ladder workouts, which are workouts that increase in difficulty, amount of repetitions, or duration. Duncan shared this video of herself doing ladder workouts in the gym. She captioned the post, “Why I love Ladder workouts? Progressive structure, versatility, scaleability and variety. You will find various types of exercises such as weightlifting, (eg squats, bench), bodyweight exercises &/or cardio exercises. It’s suitable for all fitness levels, as the starting point and increments can be adjusted based on individual capability. I personally find I see benefits such as improved endurance & strength, mental toughness & caloric burn. And with this I can easily adjust to target different fitness goals, such as hypertrophy, endurance, or cardiovascular health.”

5. She Does Pull-Ups

Duncan is working on improving her pull-ups. She documented her progress on Instagram. Duncan shared this video on Instagram of herself doing them in the gym. She captioned the post, “The update no one asked for: Attempted my max wide grip over hand pull up. Managed 10 in my first set. Thinking I should set myself a goal to hit 14 strict reps…. (For shits and gigs).”

Ounsley regularly trains with her dad, sharing their workouts on social media. In a recent Instagram post, she posted a video of them running together on a track. “Dad n’ daughter training days,” she captioned, showcasing her love for fitness and family bonding. How does she stay fit and balanced with such a busy schedule? Here’s everything you need to know about her approach to health and fitness.

1. She Runs

In her Instagram video, Ounsley is seen running. FloTrack states that running is a great way to stay in shape. “Running and jogging is an aerobic exercise, and you’re working out both your heart and lungs while doing so. This will also lead to a lower resting heart rate, lower bad cholesterol in your blood and lower blood pressure. You don’t need to run an obscene amount of miles every day to get these benefits, either. Those who just run a couple of minutes a day decrease their risk of cardiovascular death by 58 percent. If you have a hard time running, you can still give your heart a workout by jogging or walking.”

2. She Strength Trains

Ounsley shared some of her favorite workouts in this Instagram video. In it, she is seen strength training. The Mayo Clinic states that strength training has a lot of benefits. “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. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls.”

3. She Works Out With Her Dad

As you can see from her Instagram video, Ounsley likes to workout with her dad. Better Health states that working out with a loved one has a lot of benefits. “Exercising with a friend or loved one can make it more fun, and increase your chances of sticking to your exercise plan. Exercising with a friend is a great way to keep you motivated. It’s also a great way to meet new people. It can even save you money. Exercise with someone around the same fitness level as you so you can spur each other on. Ask a family member or a friend, or join a sporting club or group.”

4. She Walks

Ounsley is also seen using a rowing machine in the previous Instagram video. The Cleveland Clinic states that using a rowing machine has a lot of health benefits. “You may not think about the way you carry yourself as a strength thing, but it is. Strong core and back muscles help maintain your posture and reduce pressure on your spinal column. And — while the brain is crucial to balance and coordination — so are our muscles. They help us react quickly and prevent falls.”
