Anna Victoria is a fitness trainer and influencer. She recently shared some of her favorite workouts on Instagram. Victoria captioned the post, “Comment STRONG to join my 12 week Stronger You challenge… starting TOMORROW, January 6!! 💕I CAN’T WAIT for you all to see just how big of an impact focusing on STRENGTH makes on your progress. Like I said in the video, if focusing on being skinny hasn’t been working… why not try something different? Give me 12 weeks of @bodylura workouts and nutrition and watch the magic happen ✨💪”


She Isn't Pressuring Herself

Victoria opened up about her journey of losing pregnancy weight in this Instagram post. She says that she doesn’t want to pressure herself to lose weight. “I’m not putting pressure on myself to bounce back. But I AM focusing on being STRONG and improving my endurance when I can. Some weeks I’m killing it and other weeks… I’m fighting for dear life from the zillionth illness my daughter brought home from daycare 😅🫠 I’ve come to accept that colds and poor sleep are just a part of this season of life and I’m gonna get a workout in anyways.”

She Does Deadlifts

Victoria likes to do deadlifts to keep herself in shape. She is seen doing them in the previous Instagram video. NASM states that doing deadlifts can have a lot of benefits. “RDLs are commonly used to strengthen the posterior chain, using the core muscles to stabilize and the hamstrings and glutes to drive the movement.”

She's Consistent

Victoria makes sure to workout on a consistent basis. She revealed in this Instagram caption that one of her secrets for doing this is her approach. “I work out for health and strength. Any physical changes are just… a side effect. I’m not going to lie and say I don’t appreciate them. But if no physical change ever occurred, I would still be doing the same workouts because of the strength and energy they give me significantly improve my daily quality of life. I cannot stress enough how much I understand not feeling like you have time… or the energy to work out… or feeling like your genetics are against you... or feeling like it just isn’t *your thing* But it is. Stop putting yourself in a box and stop limiting yourself. You deserve this and you can do it.”

She Uses An Elliptical

Victoria is seen on an elliptical in this Instagram video. According to The Cleveland Clinic, using an elliptical can have a lot of benefits. “Elliptical trainer workouts help speed up your metabolism and burn calories, which can help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight. How many calories you burn on an elliptical machine depends on your weight plus workout length and intensity.”

She Lifts Weights

Victoria is also seen lifting weights in the previous Instagram video. According to ACE Fitness, these exercises have a lot of health benefits. “Using heavy weights increases intramuscular coordination, the number of type II motor units and the amount of muscle fibers engaged within a specific muscle. Have you ever felt your muscles shaking while lifting heavy weights? This is because you are recruiting and activating the larger type II muscle fibers, which are only stimulated to work when a muscle is challenged with heavy resistance or working to fatigue.”

Angelica Teixeira is a fitness competitor and expert. She has a large following on Instagram, and sometimes shares her favorite workouts on her page. A few weeks ago, Teixeira shared some of her favorite bodyweight exercises in a video. She captioned it, “Too busy to get to the gym? Here is a great workout for you to do at home without any weights. Save it for January 1st that your gym will probably be closed and start the year off right 👊🏼🔥”

She Does Squats

Teixeira is seen doing different types of squats in her Instagram video. According to Piedmont, squats are very beneficial. “Although the movements appear relatively simple, squats can take time to master. Joel Hardwick, ACSM EP-C, EIM2, an exercise physiologist at Piedmont Atlanta Fitness Center, says practice will pay off…Hardwick explains that squats are a compound, multi-joint movement, which means they exercise several muscle groups. When you perform a squat, you work your calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, core and part of your back. A squat has more overall benefits than, say, a bicep curl, which strengthens an isolated area.”

She Does Lunges

Angelica Teixeira does step back lunges.

Teixeira is also seen doing different types of lunges in her Instagram video. Lunges have a lot of benefits. The Mayo Clinic states, “The lunge is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles. Specifically, the lunge targets the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles in the thigh, the gluteal muscles in the buttock, and to a lesser extent, the lower leg muscles. The lunge is a great conditioning exercise for many sports, especially those that involve lunging movements, such as tennis, basketball or soccer.”

She Does Planks

Teixeira is also seen doing plank exercises in her Instagram video. Allina Health reports that they have a lot of benefits. “The plank is a simple, effective bodyweight exercise that strengthens your core, as well as muscles in your upper and lower body. Core muscles, which include your back and abdomen, help you maintain posture and balance as you stand, sit and move throughout the day.”

Bicycle Crunhes

Angelica Teixeira does bicycle crunches.

Another exercise that Teixeira is seen doing in her Instagram video are bicycle crunches. ACE Fitness states that they are very beneficial. “The bicycle crunch is the top exercise for strengthening your rectus abdominis — the muscles in front of your abdomen — according to the American Council on Exercise (ACE), beating exercises like the captain's chair, crunches and the ab roller. Bicycle crunches also play a role in supporting your back during everyday activities like running, bending over and lifting.”

She Engages Her Muscles

When Teixeira does exercises, she makes sure to have the right form. That way, her muscles are engaged. Teixeira shared her secrets to doing this when doing lunges in this Instagram post. “The way you perform your lunges can change the muscles it activates. 🤓 When you step forward you will activate more your quadriceps muscles than the glutes. But if you step backwards you will activate more your glutes than your quads. And if you keep your chest up you will feel more in your quads while if you keep your chest forward you will feel more in your glutes. I always perform it stepping backwards and with my chest forward to activate more the glutes than the quads because you know, us Bikini girls are all about the 🍑.”

Holly Hagan lost 50 pounds, and is showing off her transformation! In a new social media post the influencer shows off her strong and slender body in a two-piece exercise set during a sweat session at the gym, revealing all of her diet and workout secrets. “If I was starting my 50lb fat loss journey from scratch these are the 5 things I’d be focusing on,” she captioned the Instagram video. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything that she did to lose weight.

She's Got Into A Calorie Deficit

“So many people overestimate their activity level meaning they are consuming more calories than they require for fat loss. When they don’t lose on the scales after a few weeks they are then upset and think a calorie deficit doesn’t work for them.. a calorie deficit will always work, you just need to find the right number for you,” she says.

She Weighed Her Food

Next, you need to know exactly what you are eating. “If you aren’t weighing your food there is no way to know whether you are eating within your calorie and protein targets. 50g and 100g of pasta can look very similar. Taking that extra 5 minutes to weigh your food means you are far more likely to be hitting your numbers,” she says.

She Got Her Steps In

She also made sure to walk. “Prioritising steps over savage workouts is key. It’s low impact, low intensity and free. It’s also great for mental health to get out in the fresh air,” she reveals.

She Fulfilled Her Cravings

Also, she didn’t deprive herself. “Eating everything you love and crave is a huge key to success. The more we cut out the more we crave. If you allow the foods you love daily without guilt you are far more likely to succeed long term,” she said.

She Was Consistent

Finally, she stuck to her plan. “We do not defy science. A calorie deficit will always work for you. If you are not losing weight on the scales this can be for so many reasons!! The scales are weighing the total mass of your body and not just fat. Consistency is key!” she concludes the post.

Valentina Lequeux is squatting in the new year – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the influencer shows off her amazing figure during an intense workout session. “Squat Day,” she captioned the post, going on to reveal her workout routine. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

She Hit Bottom

Lequeux hit a bottom when a relationship of five years ended. “I became very depressed and wasn’t eating properly. This was the lowest point I found my weight—I was 113 pounds at a height of 5’8″, so you can imagine how malnourished I was,” she said in another interview with Muscle & Fitness.

Exercising 5 Days A Week

Valentina works out regularly. “It’s not easy,” she told Muscle & Fitness. “I’m in the gym five days a week. I want to show the world what it takes to make a change and have an impact on my Instagram.”

Workout Buddy

She ended up meeting her future husband and coach, Luis. “He is my coach and nutritionist, and he also knows how to push my buttons, in the wrong way and the right way,” Lequeux says. “The gym is where he is no longer my husband and just my coach. He breaks me in there every time and has no remorse for me. This is what my type of character needed, someone to push me around in the gym and test my limits.”

She Does Core HIIT Workouts

She recently shared a hardcore “Core HIIT” workout. “If you want VISIBLE abs, remember this: it doesn’t matter how many reps or sets you do…If you are eating in surplus and high in body fat your abs won’t show! Shredded abs formula: moderate caloric deficit.” She offered more details: “Set a 15-20 min timer and perform in AMRAP style. Do as many reps as possible of all 4 exercises one after the other. Leave 1 minute of recovery at the end of each round until completing the 15-29 minutes,” she says.

1. Leg rise + abduction

2.In and out crunch + half circle X15

3.High knees 20 sec (nonstop)

4.Banded bicycles X15

5.3 air squats + 3 abductions AMRAP 30 sec

Here Is Her Full-Body Workout

Here is her latest full body workout:

1.Back squat 1 rep max: work up to a 1 rep max, I did X5 85#, X5 135#, X5 165#, X1 + 1 assisted 185#, 2 failed attempts at 190#

Jenna Fail is an extremely successful fitness influencer on Instagram. Last month, she shared her typical diet on her page. Fail eats things like chicken, grilled cheese and tomato soup, and collagen lattes. She captioned the post, “Some things change day to day depending on what I’m doing, but this is pretty average for not tracking and just going about my day.”

She Gets Enough Protein

Fail makes sure to get enough protein in her diet. She talked about her favorite foods in the caption of her Instagram post. “I tend to have eggs, chicken & sirloin each day and play up what I have with them to keep it interesting. I usually have 1-2 shakes per day (I use @1stphorm Phormula-1) and that helps me to more easily hit my protein goal.”

She Cooks

Fail likes to cook, and shares a lot of her favorite meals on Instagram. She shared this recipe for meatballs, captioning it, “All the great flavors of Thanksgiving all in one place! These Thanksgiving meatballs will be on your families meal rotation after you try them 😍 And even better, they whip up in no time! Preheat your oven to 375°. In a bowl mix: 1lb of ground turkey, 1/2 yellow onion (diced), 1 egg, 1/4-1/3 cup dried cranberries (I soaked mine in water overnight so they weren’t so chewy), Salt & paper, 1 box of herb stuffing, Green onion, Everything to your liking and preference. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until done and that’s it! You can enjoy them just as they are but over rice or mashed potatoes with a little gravy and green onion would be amazing!! These are a great little holiday snack to keep stocked in the fridge 🤍 I have a feeling kids would love them too! Enjoy!”

She Focuses On Things She Can Control

Fail is all about focusing on things she can control. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “In a world that is unpredictable, chaotic, literally evil, and out of our single handed control - it’s best to put your focus on what you can control. Be aware of everything - but focus most on you & yours. Things you can control: Your mindset. Your daily movement. Choosing more nutrient dense foods. Daily prayer. Gratitude Being good to those around you and always offering help where you can. It’s easy to focus too deeply on the world problems that are too big for us to fix alone, but if we all fixed ourselves and followed the list above, there would be a whole lot more strong, kind, caring and gracious humans walking around which inherently would solve the bigger issues. World improvement starts with personal excellence.”

She's Consistent

Fail opened up about her fitness journey in the caption of this Instagram post. She says that she makes sure to stay consistent. “Continuing to show up is where you’ll always win. I’m so glad I fought through many uncomfortable years to finally get to where I am now. I live a super balanced life, I’m healthier than ever, my hormone health is perfect, my mentality on how I eat and train is practical and I feel amazing! The biggest thing I learned over the years is just how far baseline information and effort can take you. Nothing extreme is needed. I prioritize protein, supplement quality micronutrients, exercise to some capacity ~4x a week, drink plenty of water, optimized my hormones and get at least 7-8 hours of sleep.”

She Hikes

Fail likes to hike to keep herself in shape. She shared this post on Instagram of herself and her partner hiking in the Grand Canyon. According to Piedmont, hiking has a lot of benefits. “Hiking is a weight-bearing exercise that builds muscle mass and helps prevent osteoporosis. Hiking can help you manage your weight. It is a joint-friendly form of exercise that can keep arthritis sufferers more limber and mobile.”

Bianca Bustamante is revving up her engine in 2025 – in her workout gear. In a new social media post, the racecar driver reveals she is taking “the next major step” in her physical journey as a race driver “and I’ve set the target high!” she says in a new Instagram post, filled with video clips of herself lifting heavy weights at the gym. “Never been more motivated in my life, it’s not physically easy for a girl in this sport, but I’m super excited to take on this new challenge and the next big step on my racing journey,” she added. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her top lifestyle tips.

Lifting Weights

Bianca spends hours at the gym where she focuses on strength training along with endurance, cardio, reaction time, and reflexes. “You know, to be a driver, it’s a complete package. It takes strength. It takes mental fortitude. It takes reflexes, smart thinking, and survival skills,” she told MEGA Active. “Sometimes it's for the body, sometimes it's for the mind. Nothing more peaceful than early sessions,” she captioned an Instagram post of one of her sessions.

Double Down On Training

In her recent post, Bianca reveals that she working extra hard at the gym. “I’ve been working hard over the years to build a solid foundation, but in 2025, I’ll be working with @j_w_90 and I’m doubling down on my training. Increasing to two workouts a day not just on lifts but aerobic endurance, as well as a better focus on nutrition and rest, in order to raise the bar to compete in the higher formulas,” she said.

Fueling Your Body With Protein

Bianca makes sure to eat enough protein in order to build more muscle and stay as lean as possible to meet the weight requirement. “It’s been a really cool journey seeing my body develop and transform into this whole different person I never knew I could become,” she said. In her new post she added that she is meal prepping. “I’m soooo all in that im even learning how to cook & meal prep better than ever before,” she writes.

Taking Cold Plunges

As for recovery, cold plunging is part of Bianca’s training regime. Limited research supports the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increasing focus, improving sleep, and decreasing inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes post-sport recovery.

Working On Self-Esteem

Positive self-talk is also important. “Of course, I put a lot of pressure on myself, but in the end, I always tell myself that as long as I give my best and I learn from it, any mistake I make is valid,” Bianca explained. “I always try to repeat that to myself that I am valid. I’m here for a reason and there’s nothing I would rather do than be here.”

Brenda Perlaza is flaunting her fantastic figure in a tiny bikini. In a new social media post the influencer, who calls herself La Barbie Negra, looks flawless as she poses on the beach in a neon yellow swimsuit. “#viral,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Wow Wow,” one of her followers commented, while several others added fire emojis. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Jogging

Brenda enjoys jogging. 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.

Walking Her Dog

She also takes her dog on long walks. 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.

Dancing

You can also find Brenda dancing to burn calories. Dancing is an excellent workout for many reasons. It builds strength and promotes flexibility, helps you lose weight, and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop or die from heart disease than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues

Swimming

Brenda spends a lot of time in her swimsuit so it isn’t surprising she loves to swim. According to the CDC, swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, multiple studies support the mental health benefits of swimming.

Hydration

Finally, Brenda hydrates, especially after a long workout or sun exposure. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

But that amount varies depending on your weight, speed and stroke.”

She's Vegan

Romani is open about following a vegan diet. She shares a lot of posts on her Instagram story highlights of herself enjoying vegan foods. The American College of Lifestyle Medicine states that being vegan has a lot of health benefits. “Overall, nutrition from plant-based diets is typically of higher quality than omnivorous diets, as assessed by the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI).28 A whole food plant-based (WFPB) diet is one made up of predominantly unprocessed fruits, vegetables, whole grains legumes, nuts and seeds, and excludes animal foods, with certain selective supplementation of vitamins B12. Sometimes D. Intentionally planned, WFPB diets provide sufficient nutrient intakes for all stages of life and can be therapeutic for chronic disease and overall health and healing.29 The plant-based dietary pattern protects against overconsumption of nutrients that lead to obesity and disease,30 particularly animal protein, saturated fat,31 trans-fats, cholesterol simple sugars,32 and sodium.33, 34”

Romani makes sure to work out on a regular basis. She shares a lot of Instagram stories in her highlights of herself at the gym. The Mayo Clinic says that regular exercise is extremely important. “Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help you keep off lost weight. When you take part in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn. Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if you can't find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none. To gain the benefits of exercise, just get more active throughout your day. For example, take the

She Supports Animals

Romani has her own charity, Help Miami Cats. She talked about how she started this in the caption of this Instagram post. “❤️ Guys!!!! I have always loved cats and had many growing up. When I moved to Miami Beach I met a great calico named Chacha and learnt that cats were brought to the city by Mayor Lummus … against rodents. Cats rely on volunteers for their food and water and there’s a huge amount of them. There’s a city program to Spay and neuter with the wonderful @sobecats ladies and the feeding is made official by a City Sanctioned badge, yet new cats keep getting dumped daily sadly and there’s a never ending amount of work, emergencies and so on. I was on a feeding rotation but during the pandemic I was left alone caring for so many as people left town or couldn’t afford feeding anymore …I decided to start my own non profit @helpmiamicats . We feed close to 200 and when Batman got paralyzed took him and other special needs cats under my care … @stevensachs69 with the cat room and the amazing people involved devote their lives to these special souls … My life has changed a lot too … way less spare time, way more sweat and tears and lost the person I had by my side who had sadly other priorities … yet gained so much love from these lovely creatures !!! If you can please get involved in any way … follow @helpmiamicats , share, volunteer, adopt … donate … Only together we can make their world a better place !!! And yes … just me feeding the kitties and talking to them … 🤷🏻♀️👀😆❤️🙌”
