Fitness influencer Demi Bagby is showing off her incredible climbing skills in a new Instagram post. Bagby, 23, shared a video of herself wearing a brightly-colored leotard, effortlessly climbing up a pillar like a superhero. “Is it just me or do you have to climb these when you see them?! 👀 👐🏻” she captioned the post. “Dang, girl! There’s just something irresistible about climbing these! Keep embracing that playful spirit! 💖” commented fellow fitness influencer Alexia Clark. Bagby has been a social media sensation since she was a teenager—here’s what her diet, wellness, and training looks like.


1. Healthy Diet

Bagby enjoys a balanced diet with plenty of vegetables and quality protein. “I’ll have a little dose of ice cream every once in a while, but I definitely eat a lot of protein and veggies,” she told Muscle & Fitness. “I like to keep it lower carb for the most part just because my body feels better doing so, but nothing too specific. Online I see all these diet claims but I’ve kind of just gone on a whim and said, ‘Hey, just stick to the staples: protein, vegetables, keep it simple.’ You know what’s healthy and what’s not. You’re not going to eat pizza every day.”

2. Love For Golf

Bagby has developed a newfound appreciation for golf. “I was always that person who thought, that looks so boring,” she told Golf Digest. “But I had a blast. You can make it as challenging as you want. I love the mental aspect. It carries over to other sports, without being as physically taxing.”

3. Golf Fashion

Bagby loves experimenting with her golfing attire. “The golf outfits are fun,” she told Golf Digest. “There’s a lot less out there for the females, but they’re starting to pop off a bit more. I’m used to more form-fitting clothes, and the golf clothes are looser. I’m used to technical apparel, where even the T-shirts are tight. Golf clothes are more flowy.”

4. Training Gym

Bagby is careful to avoid injuries. “Training in a safe environment—at a gym, for example, with foam pits or something like that—to build the muscle memory and gain air awareness is important,” she told Muscle & Fitness. “If I were to go try to throw something outside on concrete that I’m not ready for, your body is like, ‘Nope,’ and then you get hurt. Flips are definitely something to take more seriously, because in an instant you could be on the ground in a lot of pain.”

5. How She Trains

Bagby has a structured training regimen. “I like to train specific parts of my body each day,” she told Muscle & Fitness. “I’ll do an upper-body day, lower-body, and always add a little bit of cardio at the end. Everything that we do, for the most part, on Instagram that doesn’t count toward my training for the day, that’s just me messing around.”

Fitness Influencer Meghan Callaway Shares "Step Up" Tips

Meghan Callaway, a fitness expert and influencer, is known for her practical advice and innovative workout techniques. From mastering step-ups to challenging core exercises, she consistently shares tips to optimize fitness routines. In a recent Instagram post, Callaway focused on perfecting step-ups, emphasizing proper form and technique: “Step-ups are a great exercise when performed correctly. Unfortunately, most people do not do them properly, so they do not obtain the full benefits.” Here’s a closer look at her approach to fitness and self-care.

She Does Step-Ups

As you can see from her Instagram post, Callaway likes to do step-ups to keep herself in shape. She shared her tips for doing them properly in the caption. “✅ When you are performing step-ups, the leg that is elevated on the surface should be doing most of the work (I prefer at least 75%). ❌ MANY people cheat by pushing off with their foot on the supporting side (usually forefoot/toes), and this makes the exercise MUCH less effective! ✅ One trick I find REALLY helps, and something I’ve been using for YEARS, is to pick up the toes of the supporting leg, and to not allow them to touch the floor for the duration of the exercise. ✅ You can see I’m only allowing my heel to lightly touch the floor. ✅ This makes it a LOT tougher to cheat with the supporting leg, and forces the planted/elevated leg to do most of the work.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣Many people ‘ego lift’ when they do step-ups! Less weight can often be more effective!”

She Does Core Workouts

Callaway shared some of her favorite core workouts in this Instagram video. She captioned the post, “If you want an extremely EVIL core challenge to sink your teeth into, give this exercise a try! This is advanced. By anchoring my feet this way AND contracting my hamstrings, I am inhibiting my hip flexors. I got this awesome idea from @lukahocevar . As Luka said, ‘my hamstrings were like WTF,’ so don’t be surprised if your hamstrings cramp 😂. While it’s widely known I’m a BIG advocate of hip flexor strengthening, when many people are trying to train their anterior and lateral core muscles their hip flexors often compensate. This amazing ‘hack makes the exercise SO much tougher because the hip flexors can no longer kick in.”

She Does Planks

Callaway is seen doing plank exercises in this Instagram video. Planks have a lot of benefits. Allina Health states, “If you want an exercise that engages most of your muscles in one easy step, then you should plank. 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.”

She Does Squats

Callaway shared some of her favorite lower body exercises in these Instagram videos. In them, she is seen doing two different kinds of squats: split squats and negative Spanish squats. Callaway captioned the post, “Front heel elevated split squats + back foot elevated (with emphasis on forward knee tracking). Use a range that feels comfortable. 👉 2-3 sets of 8-12 reps per side. Negative Spanish squats. With Spanish Squats you will keep your shins in a vertical position for 100% of the movement, and there will be minimal ankle dorsiflexion. This can be a very knee friendly option.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ This is also an AMAZING leg finisher. 👉 2-3 sets of 6-12 reps.”

She Does Pull-Ups

Callaway likes to do pull-ups to stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing them. Callaway talked about her journey with the exercise in the caption. “Day 16 since I resumed pull-ups after a 7 month injury (radial nerve) layoff. 8 sets of 6. Final set (so I was a bit fatigued/form wasn’t as good). Then I did several sets of 2 reps of unassisted false grip pull-ups, and some banded sets of 5 reps. Usually I’d do these first but wasn’t planning on doing them so soon. The false grip felt surprisingly comfy. I basically did NO upper body training for 7 months. The injury would’ve resolved a LOT faster if I’d seen the good physio much sooner, but I had a lot of other stuff going on in my life and put my own recovery on the back burner. And I did several other treatments that normally would’ve been helpful, but ended up just REALLY provoking the nerve and setting me back. I’m filming pull-ups top off so I can make sure my pull is nice and even. When coming back from an injury it’s easy to guard and compensate, even when there are no symptoms. My form isn’t perfect yet, but will be. And I’ve regained a lot of my muscle as I lost a decent amount over my 7 month upper body layoff!”

Kayli Ann Phillips, a dynamic fitness influencer and model, inspires her vast Instagram following with rigorous weightlifting and CrossFit routines. Recently, she shared a challenging workout featuring thrusters and handstand pushups, captioning it, “💪🏽💗 playing the range of motion game 🤪 3 Rounds For Time: 12 Thrusters. 12 Handstand pushups, deficit. Men use 135lb barbell. Women use 95lb barbell.” Known for her commitment to strength and endurance, Phillips motivates her audience to embrace high-intensity training and push their physical limits.


1. She Lifts Weights

As you can see from her Instagram post, Phillips likes to lift weights to stay in shape. ACE Fitness says that doing this has a lot of 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.”

2. She Jumps Rope

Phillips is seen jumping rope in this Instagram post. ACE Fitness states that jumping rope has a lot of benefits. “Jumping rope can help improve your coordination. Jumping rope is a cyclic activity, which means you perform it for a steady, regular cadence. The steady cadence and rhythm of jumping rope can help improve the coordination between your eyes, feet and hands.”

3. She Does Burpees

Phillips likes to do burpees to stay in shape. She is seen doing them in this Instagram post. The Cleveland Clinic says that the exercise has a lot of benefits. “A burpee sounds like something that should be silly. It isn’t. Burpees are brutally efficient as a workout tool, meshing cardio and strength training into an extremely high-intensity package. In seven simple movements, the exercise works your body from top to bottom. It’s a continuous-movement activity that uses the full musculature of your body, says exercise physiologist Griffin Nykor, RKin, CPT.”

4. She Runs

In the previous Instagram post, Phillips revealed that she ran 20 miles. According to FloTrack, running has a lot of benefits. “Running has proved to increase your bone mass and prevent age-related bone loss. This exercise helps build up your bones and joints. While the repeated contact between the ground can be harder on some people’s knees, running has been proved to assist in knee strength as well.”

5. She Does CrossFit

Phillips does a lot of CrossFit to stay in shape. She shared this post on Instagram of herself doing exercises. Dignity Health states that CrossFit exercises have a lot of benefits. “There's a reason CrossFit is so popular: Its workouts do a great job getting people in shape. Participants are drawn to the competitive atmosphere and camaraderie that their box's WODs foster. But CrossFit isn't just for the athletically inclined: People of all fitness levels and walks of life can participate in the training, although some WODs may need to be modified for beginners. Practitioners attribute their fast transformations to CrossFit's high-intensity and continuously changing workouts. Training consists of compound exercises to build cardiovascular endurance, strength, flexibility, speed, and balance while burning more calories per minute than traditional weight-training activities. In addition to body-weight movements, the program utilizes a variety of equipment -- from barbells and medicine balls to jump ropes and elastic bands -- as part of its daily WODs.”

Now, she’s focusing on light weights and kettlebell exercises to regain her strength. As a busy mom, she’s mastered the art of multitasking, even squeezing in workouts in between daily tasks. Beyond the gym, Moreau loves outdoor activities like playing basketball, keeping her active lifestyle varied and engaging.


1. Kettlebell Workouts

Moreau is showing fans how she’s returning to her schedule after recently having a baby. Wearing black spandex workout shorts and a tight black cropped tee, the new mom showed off her kettlebell workout in an Instagram video with the caption, “Finally back to my regular workout routine. Kettlebell exercises can target many different muscles and be a full-body workout. “Kettlebell training provides a low-impact, full-body workout that strengthens muscles and improves cardiovascular health,” according to Shape.

2. She Uses Light Weights

Wearing a barely there red bikini, Moreau worked out using light weights and captioned her post, “Multitasking as a momma." According to Prevention, using light weights has the following benefits:

-Lowering body fat. “With consistent light lifting, your body will look leaner and more toned, and your clothes will fit better.”

-Preserving muscle mass. “Light lifting can slow the decline.”

-Improve bone density. “Using weights encourages cells to form new bone to offset age-related declines in bone mineral density.”

3. She Did Pregnancy Safe Workouts

Throughout her pregnancy, the influencer did pregnancy-safe workouts and shared a video of them and a 21-day challenge she completed. “I am 39 weeks pregnant and using the @bodi app for my everyday workouts. The Bodi app is perfect because I can just open up my phone and do a work out wherever I am. I am able to modify the workouts and make sure I stay on track. Let me know if you guys try this work out!”

4. She Does Pilates

Wearing a cute pastel-colored dress with shorts underneath, Moreau showed off her Pilates skills. Pilates is a fitness trend that’s here to stay and one that should not be ignored. According to the Cleveland Clinic, Pilates has several health benefits, including improved muscle tone, flexibility and strength, pain relief, better posture, and balance and coordination. “The nearly century-old practice of Pilates provides a low-impact, full-body workout that could be a great addition to a well-balanced exercise program,” the site stated. “While the research on the health benefits of Pilates isn’t definitive, it suggests Pilates can positively impact your physical and mental health.”

5. She Plays Basketball

In addition to hitting the gym, Moreau enjoys being active outside and playing basketball. Over 450 million people worldwide play basketball, making it one of the most popular sports. Besides burning calories, it’s also a great cardio workout for your heart. According to StyleCraze, “Basketball is one of the best exercises for heart health! Because you keep moving, your heart rate increases. It also helps in building endurance, which is important when you want to make sure that your heart is healthy. It will help lower the risk of stroke and heart disease later in your life.”

DiDonato loves drinking juice to help her stay healthy. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram video. “My go-to wellness essentials that keep me feeling balanced, energized, and healthy. From juicing to recovery, these are the tools I reach for every single day. Starting with the @huromamerica H70 Juicer—it makes fresh, nutrient-packed juice so easy. Minimal prep, super easy to clean, and the slow juicing process means better taste and more nutrients. My family & I have become obsessed with having morning juices, it’s such a great way to increase my kids fruit & veg intake without them even realising!”

She Cooks

DiDonato likes to cook. She shared this recipe for pumpkin blondies on Instagram. She captioned it, “100% remaking these pumpkin blondies for thanksgiving this year. So easy and healthy. Ingredients: • 1½ cups almond flour • 1 cup oat flour • 1 cup pumpkin puree • ¾ cup coconut sugar • ⅓ cup coconut oil (refined for neutral taste) • 1 egg • 1 tbsp pumpkin pie spice • 1 tsp vanilla extract • 1 tsp baking powder • ¼ tsp salt • ½ cup white chocolate chips (plus extra for topping) Instructions: 1.

Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days, or refrigerate for up to a week. Enjoy!”

She Works With A Trainer

In a YouTube video, DiDonato talked about working with a trainer to help herself stay in shape. “When I first started weight lifting, I used a trainer pretty often and that was super helpful because then I had this foundation of like what exercises and what moves to do, how to create a great workout, an effective workout, what your form should be ... So even if you’re not someone who can have that in your life at all times, I do think it’s great to create kind of the foundation for your fitness and wellness lifestyle.”

She Lifts Weights

DiDonato shared some of her wellness secrets with WhoWhatWear. She says that she likes to lift weights to keep herself in shape. I've been keeping up with my virtual workouts, which I'm really proud of. I lift weights two times a week with my trainer, Daniela Brita (@daniela.wellness). I love a workout that feels challenging, which is why I love working with weights.”

She Does Pull-Ups

DiDonato is seen doing pull-ups in her Instagram video. 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.”

Leonie Hanne is living her best life in Thailand – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the German model flaunts her fantastic figure in a $750 Missoni bathing suit while enjoying a boating day in the tropics. “She dreamed of a tropical adventure 🦋,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Stunning,” commented one of her followers. ”So beautiful,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Coffee

Leonie enjoys the perks of caffeine. In one of her posts from Thailand, she drinks a cup of coffee at the poolside. According to the Cleveland Clinic, drinking coffee in moderation has several benefits. “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.

Pilates

Leonie does Pilates at the super exclusive London studio Pilates in the Clouds. 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.

At-Home Workouts

Leonie tries to get a workout in daily, preferably in the morning. I still try to get up early to maintain a sense of routine. I start every day with a quick at-home workout and a homemade acai bowl, before starting work on emails and content creation. I’ve been getting really into TikTok lately, it’s funny and keeps me feeling energised!” she told Arcadia.

Community

It takes a village, according to Leonie. “Community is key! The people you surround yourself with are more important than ever, as we are all trying to find ways to stay connected without being physically present. Speaking to people either on the phone or through social media can shift your mindset and motivation more than ever before,” she says.

Small, Healthy Habits

Leonie focuses on maintaining small, healthy habits. “Do something every day that brings you joy. Even if that means having something small to look forward to, like having your favourite snacks around the house or changing into an outfit that makes you feel good about yourself,” she says.

Sophie Piper is embracing island life – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the Love Island beauty shows off her fantastic figure in a swimsuit during a tropical vacation at Kandima Maldives with Josh Ritchie. “Island life,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps taken at the picturesque resort. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

She Doesn't Go Under the Knife

Sophie claims she hasn’t gone under the knife. “It’s your own body, you can do what you want to,” she told Grazia, weighing in on the show’s reputation for girls getting work done. “I wouldn’t have surgery myself; I don’t want it. I’ve got such a low pain tolerance as well; I’d be squirming around.”

She Gets Her Steps In

Stand Up Paddle Boarding

Sophie loves paddle boarding. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and cardio. Water sports can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140-pound male and 436 calories for a female of the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.

She Skis

When Sophie hits the mountains, she throws on a pair of skis. “Ski club,” she captioned a photo. Research has linked downhill skiing to several health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, the prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress, and the occurrence of memory deficits decline.

She Loves Group Fitness

“You’ve got to be body confident,” Sophie told Grazia. One of her favorite sweat methods? Group fitness. “A few gym classes can’t hurt,” she said.

She Goes Snorkeling

On her recent Maldives vacation, Sophie and Josh snorkeled in the crystal clear water. Surprisingly, putting on a snorkel and fins and swimming through the water is a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.

Tammy Hembrow is a fitness influencer and expert. She has her own app, called Tammy Fit. Hembrow has a lot of challenges on her app. Recently, she advertised a challenge with a workout video on Instagram. Hembrow captioned the post, “We are 3 days into our first @tammyfitapp challenge of the year & I am more motivated than everrrrr. (Sign ups are still open if you haven’t joined yet - there’s still time to catch up!! - link in bio). Soooo happy seeing so many of my girlies (and guys) in this challenge doing it with me!! And I CANNOT wait to see everyone’s results at the end of the 8 weeks. We got thissss 💪🏼”

She Does Pulldowns

Hembrow is seen doing pulldowns in her Instagram video. Piedmont reports that pulldowns have a lot of benefits. “The lat pulldown is a fantastic exercise for strengthening the latissimus dorsi muscle, the broadest muscle in your back. This muscle promotes good posture and spinal stability. Form is crucial when performing a lat pulldown to prevent injury and reap the best results.”

She Lifts Weights

Hembrow is seen doing a lot of exercises with weights in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness states that using weights to workout has 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.”

She Tracks Her Meals

Hembrow likes to track her meals on her app. She talked about the benefits of this in the caption of this “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. “Make sure to take advantage of the calorie/macro tracking features in the @tammyfitapp during this challenge guys. It can be really helpful in reaching specific goals quicker. And it also can help educate you on your food choices when it comes to nutrition, ratios, hidden calories, overeating or under eating etc. honestly I’d recommend any beginner try it out just to get a good feel for how you’re fuelling your body!! I feel like when people think of ‘meal tracking’ it can be seen as something that seems restrictive or something only bodybuilders do. When in reality it can be such a helpful tool and you can learn things that will actually encourage long term habits 🫶🏼🫶🏼”

She Loves Bananas

Hembrow is seen enjoying bananas in her “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. The Cleveland Clinic states that bananas have a lot of benefits. “A single medium-sized banana offers about 32 mg of the mineral magnesium, which fulfills around 8% to 10% of your daily magnesium requirement.
