Eva Marie was a beloved star in the WWE. She also appeared on the E! Network reality series, Total Divas. In 2019, she competed on the second season of Celebrity Big Brother. Marie recently shared a photo on Instagram of herself training in the gym. In it, she wore a pink two-piece. She captioned the post, “Training hard for bikini season.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Eva Marie stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.
1. She Eats Healthy
Marie shared her diet secrets in an interview with GQ. She says that she makes sure to eat healthy. “It depends, because sometimes I practice intermittent fasting, in which case I won’t have my first meal until around two in the afternoon. If I'm not doing that, though, I’ll wake up and have a protein shake or a veggie egg white omelet. The rest of the day is pretty much salad and grilled chicken. I really love fruit, too, because I have a sweet tooth. I wish that I didn’t, but fruit helps me deal with it.
2. She Does Quick, Intense Workouts
Marie tells GQ that she has changed her workouts. “In WWE, I focused more on Olympic lifting. I had to make sure that I was physically able to lift another human being at all times. Now, I’m going for a different, leaner look. High-intensity interval training and Tabata workouts are really good for me, because they prevent me from getting bored, and don't require me to be in the gym for two hours. I can get in, do what I need to do, and get out.
3. She Doesn’t Stress About Her Diet

Marie doesn’t put a lot of pressure on herself to eat healthy. “At first, I tried things like inputting fat and carbohydrate and protein grams into my phone, but that really just stressed me out,” she told GQ. “I was thinking way too much— when all of a sudden, my fats were too high, or I had eaten too many carbs, or my calories had exceeded the number I had in mind for the day. Once I started to take away the pressure to hit an exact amount and instead focused on rough estimates, it started to become less stressful.”
4. She Does Cardio
Marie loves to do cardio workouts. She talked about this in her Day In The Life interview with Ryderwear. “I will always do some sort of cardio, whether that’s walking, boxing, jumping rope, or going on a run. Health and fitness is super important to me, not only from being an athlete my entire life, but I also truly believe health is wealth. If I'm not healthy then I can’t do all the things I love. Right now I’m intermittent fasting which means I fast for 16 hours and then eat during my eight hour window, so I usually don’t have my first meal till 1:00pm.”
5. She Eats Healthy Snacks
Marie makes sure to eat healthy snacks. She shared her favorites in her Ryderwear interview. “I love a protein shake around this time. It keeps me full until dinner and I can get the extra energy to keep going with the rest of the day. Of course, it also helps aid with recovery after my workout. I also snack on fruit throughout the day too.”
