Fitness Influencer Elise Joan Shows Off Amazing Body Sharing "Stress Management Tips"

Emily Duncan, a fitness coach and influencer, is known for sharing valuable wellness and fitness tips with her large social media following. Recently, she took to Instagram to offer advice on avoiding stomach issues, encouraging her followers to focus on reducing stress, eating healthier, and cutting back on caffeine. In her candid post, Duncan humorously declared, “Hot girls have stomach problems BUT WE SHOULDN’T!!" as she delves into common digestive concerns and teased an upcoming project for her holistic coaching brand, Fenix Athletica. Here's a deeper look at how Emily approaches rest, fitness, and a balanced lifestyle to keep her body and mind in top shape.

1. She Rests

Duncan talked about the importance of rest in this Instagram post. “Take what you need, and remember: that little voice in your head telling you to quit, that it doesn’t matter, or that you’ve reached your full potential is full of shit 😇I love how we’re having more conversations about the importance of rest. We NEED to rest so we can give 100%. And also… sometimes you can’t rest. At least not right now. Whether it’s in this moment or in this season. So here’s your reminder that there’s equal value in learning how to dig deeper when you need it most. How to find that little well inside of you that you can pull from when you think you have nothing. How to flip that switch, narrow your focus, and go.”

2. She Does Breathwork

Duncan loves to practice breathwork, and encourages her clients to do the same. She captioned this Instagram post, “I love when science 🧬 and spirituality 🪐meet 😉. Breathwork has been around for thousands of years, and certainly longer than we’ve had data explaining why and how it’s so powerful. As a holistic fitness + wellness coach that serves predominantly high performing, high stress women, it’s a non-negotiable tool in my arsenal.”

3. Subhead Goes Right Here

Duncan likes to go to the beach. She shared these photos of herself on the beach in Milos on Instagram. Duncan captioned them, “This beach is carved out of sand-colored volcanic rock, which quite literally makes it look like you’re on a beach on the moon. The giant rock formations + the crystal clear water was a complete dream 🥹. If you ever come to Greece, please please please put Milos on your list 💙. I’ll have more to share after we leave + can fully compile my thoughts, but it’s such a beautiful and rugged place. Stunning around every turn 🥹”

4. She Values Fitness

Duncan revealed in this Instagram post’s caption that valuing fitness has helped her find confidence. “What if you could go from feeling STUCK to feeling Clear, Capable, Confident. With an abundance of self-trust and understanding? That’s exactly what happens when you treat your relationship to fitness and your body as a safe space. Both a constant amidst change and a place where you can come and challenge yourself and prove that you’re capable of more? My guess is you’d get farther than you ever thought possible, finally meet that next level version of self, and maybe, just maybe, do it with both the drive and grit you’ve always had, along with the grace and compassion you’ve always needed.”

5. She’s Consistent

Duncan makes sure to be consistent with her wellness routine. She shared it in the caption of this Instagram post. “You don’t have to be genetically elite to live in a 🔥 body while ALSO having a healthy mindset around your fitness. There are some MAJOR universal keys 🔑, like: 🍯 be less sedentary 🍯 get A+++ at being consistently consistent with how and what you eat 🍯 train progressively 🍯 get out of the ‘bulk/cut’ cycle (esp after reaching larger fat loss goals) 🍯 embrace ‘simple, not easy’ 🍯 sleep well 🍯 eat more whole foods. And that would all get you pretty far, tbh.”

Emily Skye, a well-known fitness influencer and mother, continues to inspire her millions of followers with her genuine approach to health, wellness, and self-acceptance. Through her candid social media posts, Emily shares not only her fitness routines but also her personal experiences, struggles, and triumphs. From her mental health practices to her thoughts on body image, Emily is refreshingly honest, encouraging her followers to embrace their own unique journeys. Whether she's demonstrating a lower body activation workout or discussing the importance of being selective about feedback, Emily’s message is clear: health and fitness go beyond physical appearance—they're about nurturing both the body and mind. In this article, we explore some of Emily Skye's key lifestyle tips and insights, offering a glimpse into how she maintains her well-being while inspiring others to do the same.

1. These are Her Mental Health Go-Tos

Skye takes a holistic approach to her well-being, emphasizing the importance of mental health alongside physical fitness. She shares her go-to practices for maintaining mental wellness, which include regular exercise, playing with her kids, spending time in the sauna, dry brushing, breath work, and ensuring she gets enough rest by sleeping in a circadian sleep pod. Emily also incorporates sleep hypnosis, relaxes in a massage chair while listening to podcasts or meditations, and prioritizes nourishing food. She emphasizes how these practices have significantly improved her mental health, underscoring the importance of taking care of both body and mind for overall well-being.

2. She Keeps It Real

Skye is known for her authenticity, often sharing candid posts that reveal the reality behind the curated images on social media. In one of her posts, she demonstrates how drastically different her body can appear in a matter of seconds, simply by changing her posture. She humorously admits that while she doesn't walk around flexing all day, she also doesn't slump all the time. Instead, she’s somewhere in between—sometimes giving herself a little flex in the mirror to admire her hard work, especially during that time of the month when bloating is inevitable. Emily’s playful and honest approach encourages her followers to embrace their bodies as they are, without obsessing over perfection.

3. She is Selective About Feedback

Skye recently opened up about the challenges of dealing with criticism, especially from those who aren’t putting themselves out there as she does. She candidly shared that she had been holding back due to the fear of offending others or being judged. However, she reminded herself and her followers of the importance of being selective about whose opinions matter. Emily stresses that while it’s essential not to become numb to feedback, it’s equally important not to let it define you. She encourages surrounding yourself with those who understand your journey and are also brave enough to be vulnerable. By doing so, you create a supportive environment where true connection and strength can flourish, allowing you to remain authentic and courageous.

4. Her Skin Tells the Story of Her Life

Skye is open about the changes her body has undergone, especially after becoming a mother. In response to questions about how she managed her wrinkly belly skin, Emily revealed that she hasn’t done anything to alter it—it’s still there, and she’s okay with that. She explains that lighting and posture can significantly affect how skin appears in photos, but she doesn’t see her excess skin as a flaw. Instead, she views it as a part of her life’s story, a testament to the incredible journey her body has been through. Emily acknowledges that not everyone feels the same about their bodies and emphasizes the importance of validating those feelings. She offers support to those struggling with body image issues, reminding them that they are worthy, regardless of any perceived imperfections.

5. She Shared This Lower Body Warmup/Activation

Emily is a strong advocate for proper warm-ups before a workout, especially when targeting the lower body. She shared a comprehensive lower body warm-up and activation routine designed to prepare the muscles for more intense exercises. The sequence includes leg swings, knee drives, 90/90 hip thrusts, squat to stand, lunge rotations, squats, and glute lunges, all performed with precision to ensure the body is fully activated and ready for action. Emily emphasizes the importance of warming up correctly to prevent injury and enhance workout performance, urging her followers to incorporate this routine into their fitness regimen.

Hannah Bower is sharing her exercises for lower back pain relief – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the fitness influencer shows off her amazing body in exercise clothes while discussing how to remedy back pain. “I sat in weird positions over the weekend, and my SI joint and lower back was 👹(not happy.) So here is what I did to help alleviate that discomfort! You don’t have to “deal” with pain in pregnancy. There’s so much you can do to alleviate discomforts and even prevent them,” she writes in the caption. What are the exercises and how does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care?

1. She Doesn’t Diet

Hannah isn’t a fan of “dieting nor super clean eating,” she revealed in a post, explaining that she has “been down the road of dieting” and allowing herself just one "cheat meal" a week, but it didn’t make her happy. “I was absolutely miserable and nowhere near the shape I am now. We always want what we can't have. So when you diet and restrict yourself of certain foods, you're going to become obsessed with when your next meal is and those foods you can't have! This causes you to binge eat and feel guilty. Living life like this isn't enjoyable!” she added.

2. Indulging Without Guilt

Hannah doesn’t feel bad when she indulges. “I live a healthy lifestyle, when I crave a donut I have one, when I crave junk food I'll have it. And I don't think twice about it nor feel guilty. I enjoy what I eat, all the time,” she says. “I find that over time you will crave less junk food, and crave healthier food. When you crave something it will take less to satisfy that craving, and you won't be over obsessing about your diet. Life is to be enjoyed! Not playing mind games about should you have a donut or not have a donut.”

3. Her 6 Healthy Mindset Approach Toward Exercise

In an Instagram post Hannah revealed “6 healthy mindset approaches I have towards exercise!” encouraging people to stay away from “toxic advice on socials” and a lot of extreme perspectives” like 75 hard and No Days Off. “Balance is a spectrum that looks a bit different on everyone bc everyone’s walk of life is different.” She then revealed some principles she follows:

1. Exercise is a celebration on what I can do rather than a punishment of what I don’t like about myself
2. I choose exercises based on what I love rather than what “burns the most”
3. If I miss a few days or even weeks, I don’t stress then swing to extremes to “makeup”
4. I rest when I’m sick. I honor my bodies needs.
5. I genuinely enjoy the style of training I do
6. I workout for health rather than “earning” my food.

4. Take Rest Days

Hannah’s rest day is Sunday, explaining “it’s ok to just rest,” in an Instagram post. “You don’t always have to do IT ALL. Many of you work so hard during the week, give yourself permission to chill and just be if your mind and soul needs it. 🫶🏽k? Happy Sunday to all my friends. You’ll catch me reading,” she wrote.

5. Lower Back Pain Relief Exercises

In her recent post she reveals the exercises. “All of these exercises help support the pelvis & can address weakness, imbalances or compensations you may have,” she writes.

1. Weighted Thoracic Rotations: “Lack of upper body mobility can cause lower back to compensate,” she writes.
2. Hip Flexor Drives + Deep Core: “Strong hip flexors aid in pelvic stability. Connecting it to breath, includes the deep core & pelvic floor,” she says.
3. Jefferson Curl + Sacrum Tilt: “Don’t use weight if this is NEW to you. But working and strengthening the lower back outside of “neutral” is important. The sacral tilt opens the back of the pelvis & PF,” she recommends.
4. ISO Abduction: “Hold on side that’s bothering you. Glutes help stabilize the pelvis. Weak glutes can cause imbalances and other muscles to compensate,” she explains.
5. Glute Adduction Squeeze + Deep Core : “Weak glutes and adductors & pelvic floor can cause imbalances that impact pelvic stability. Working the PF with adductors is a great way to target PF. Make sure to relax PF on inhale,” she concludes.

Anais Zanotti is revealing her go-to routine – in her workout clothes. In a new social media post the health coach shows off her fit figure in a two-piece exercise set while unveiling an efficient workout. “Home VS GYM Glutes and legs 💪🏽,” she wrote in the Instagram caption. “So many of you guys are going on vacation, does not mean you can’t keep your routine in place. I always bring my bands with me wherever I go. Nothing fancy, just some superbands from Amazon.” She also went on to reveal the workout. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care and what exercises are involved in her workout? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. She Once Took the Wrong Approach to Weight Loss

In one of her Instagram posts, Anais reveals that she didn’t always take the right approach to weight loss. “At 26 years old, I was trying to get smaller and thinner, and it was always a battle for me. I was struggling to get toned and was always feeling tired, no energy, weight in the middle, muffin top.Clothes did not fit as good,” she writes, explaining everything she “was doing wrong.” It included working out 6x per week, “long hours of cardio, nonsense workout classes and when I was weight lifting I had no structure in place. Pretty much winging it,” she writes. Her nutrition was also “very poor, from pre-made frozen meals,” and involved skipping breakfast, low carbs, juicing, magic slim shakes, 1200 calorie diets, drinking often during the week, and “poor sleep, high stress due to work.”

2. Now, This Is Her Approach to Exercise

“But now, 42 years old In Perimenopause,” she changed her approach. “Focusing on getting strong, not thriving to be skinny or a number on the scale,” is important to her. She also works out four times a week, “45min max, my cardio is walking essentially and getting above 10k steps per day.”⠀

3. Here Is Her Approach to Diet

She also reset her metabolism “by adding on more muscles and balanced meals,” never skips breakfast, focuses on” eating a protein source for each big meal” and eating “whole food plant based nutrition” with “very little processed food,” and eats “around 2200cal/day,” she says, “to be able to maintain my figure, retain my muscles.”

4. She Also Focuses on Recovery

Rest and recovery is also key. “Focusing on getting my 8 hours of sleep, some days it’s harder than others,” she says. Also, she manages stress “with exercises, walking and meditation.” And, lastly, she takes care of herself. “My self care is a priority,” she writes.

5. Here Is Her Workout

Here is her “quick & effective routine,” she says. She recommends doing 4 sets of each:

• Glute bridges with loop bands 15x (not on the video)⠀
• RDL 15x⠀
• Glutes Kick backs 15x⠀
• Reverse Lunges 15x each ⠀
• Sumo Squat 15x⠀

1. She Intertwines Mental and Physical Health

“I feel like, at least for me, that was a very new idea in the last two years,” she told InStyle. “Most of my life [physical and mental health] were very disconnected, but now I check in with myself more. Sometimes that means ordering a mountain of Thai food and staying at home and watching TV — and that can be wellness," she says. "I love eating a meal in bed on like, a Thursday night or whatever instead of going out and just being cozy, you know?"

"I'm all about the balance of that stuff and I really, as cheesy as this sounds, truly believe that mental and physical are really aligned, so taking care of yourself physically will help you mentally and vice versa," she says.

2. She Eats This Way for Breakfast, Lunch and Dinner

In the morning she might have coffee and a pastry, and then keeps lunch light. "Lunch is usually a salad or a sandwich," she told Harper's BAZAAR. "If I'm on set, I'll have catering, but I'm well behaved with that stuff. It's easy to go crazy—they know how to feed you." "For me, it's about feeling good about what you eat," she told the New York Times. "I do love turmeric and beet juices. It's so L.A., you can't avoid it." As for dinner: "Dinner is my time to be social and catch up with people.” "I'm a carnivore. I really like to eat meat. I crave iron," she told ELLE.

3. She Prefers Group Fitness Classes

“I'm one of those people who, if I go to the gym by myself, there's a 50/50 chance of me actually working out and really pushing myself, so the class environment works really, really well for me,” Ratajkowski told InStyle. She’d partnered with STRONG by Zumba, a strength-training version of the dance program. “I am also someone who, even in a class, will get chatty and [distracted]. I think that’s the great thing about STRONG — the music keeps me really focused and in the zone,” she continues. “You just feel like you're, you know, Superwoman really pushing herself. You end up working harder and it's a better, more intense workout, without even noticing.”

4. She Does Yoga Once a Week, and Hikes

“Days off, I’ll get some time to exercise, maybe go on a hike or a yoga class,” she told Bazaar. “"I am not a big gym person," Ratajkowski told Instyle. "I really like being outside and doing yoga, so I do a lot of hiking in L.A. and I have a yoga studio really close to my house that I go to like once a week." “A number of studies have shown that yoga may help reduce stress and anxiety. Yoga can enhance your mood and overall sense of well-being. Yoga might also help you manage your symptoms of depression and anxiety that are due to difficult situations,” says the Mayo Clinic.

5. She Wants You to Feel Less Alone

Emily posted about her mental health—saying she was battling a “serious depression”—a little over a year ago. “I don’t generally like to get too personal on here and I’m far from having” stuff “figured out but these were some of the notes I scribbled down on New Year’s Eve,” she shared on Instagram in March 2020. “I wanted to share them and a little piece of my story in case they might make any of you feel less alone in the anxiety or confusion or fear you could be experiencing right now.” Here are some of those insights:

• “True satisfaction comes after quiet and patient hard work.
• You can’t control other people’s perceptions so do not let their perceptions dictate your life or who you are.
• Your feelings are always justified and should be honored. That doesn;t mean they are real.
• The things that other people see as successes will not always be the same as the things that actually make you happy.
• Be curious about yourself and other people rather than judgemental.
• Loving means giving up control. This is how you can receive love, this is how you can give it.
• The world is completely unfair but that is no excuse.”
