Noel Arevalo is showing off her impressive transformation – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post, the fitness influencer flaunts her amazing figure in an exercise set – and two bathing suits – as she discusses how changing her eating habits helped her get into the best shape ever. “Here’s what happens when you DIAL in your NUTRITION 🔐I was 2 years into my fitness journey and let me tell you I was driven, consistent and hungry for results 😮💨But week after week of going into the gym and trying to eat ‘clean’ and ‘being good; about my nutrition as I could I still wasn’t seeing any progress 😵💫Anybody else feel me?” she writes in the Instagram caption. “Feeling like you’re just spinning your wheels and getting NO WHERE FAST? 🥴I started feeling the lack of motivation setting in because the lack of results which lead me to not being consistent in the gym, which turned into a vicious cycle 😵💫It all started to come crashing in on me and overwhelming me - WHAT SHOULD I BE EAT? HOW MUCH SHOULD I BE EATING? AM I DOING ENOUGH CARDIO? I finally got sick and tired of feeling sick and tired of not knowing what to do and it was determined to figure out how to get the results I knew I deserved 😤I was determined to figure out the right strategy to getting sustainable results. And trust me I tell I’m you it was not a pretty path to figure it out but I FINALLY discovered the piece to the puzzle that I was missing 😭It was my damn NUTRITION and the whole time, nutrition is the foundation to achieving any RESULTS. Obtaining the “toned” look by building muscle, getting stronger in the gym, feeling more energized and especially when it comes to fat loss 👏🏼Because I’ve struggled now YOU DON’T HAVE TO.” How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

No Dieting

Noel doesn’t diet. “NO food restrictions over here,” she writes in a post. ENJOYING the food you love AND getting amazing results is 1000% possible. I can’t believe I used to think it was a FACT that I couldn’t have pizza, sushi or any of the foods I love in order to get results, thanks to all the BS info on the internet.” She explains that when she restricted herself she was “miserable” and ended up binging on the weekends. “That’s when I knew something HAD to change. I had ZERO balance and it resulted in me being stuck in a cycle of binge eating,” she confessed in a post.

She Snowboards

Noel hits the slopes in the winter. “Most favorite time of year 🥹❤️🔥,” she captioned a post of herself snowboarding, a great cardio workout, per the University of Rochester. “Because they are also weight-bearing exercises, they strengthen your bones as they tone your muscles,” they say. “Cardiovascular or aerobic exercises also work to reduce your risk for chronic diseases, and lower blood pressure. They also help you maintain a healthy body weight. Through regular aerobic exercise like skiing and snowboarding, you lower your risk of developing conditions like diabetes and heart disease, having a stroke, and perhaps even getting cancer.”

She Golfs

Golfing is an active hobby Noel enjoys. “Golf the truest love and hate relationship that exists 😂⛳️ WHERE should I play next?” she captioned a post. The British Journal of Sports Medicine published a comprehensive review that found golf's health benefits to be extensive, including mind, body, and even lifespan. Benefits include improved longevity, decreased risk of developing heart disease or stroke, good mental health, and improved strength and balance.

She Hikes

Noel gets outside for hikes. The National Parks Service explains that the physical benefits of hiking include:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health
  • Decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems

She Has Structure

Noel explains that “strategy and structure” are part of her approach. “You need the correct strategy and structure within your nutrition, training, and cardio regimen to support YOU and your goals. THIS is what you need to break through that plateau, and there’s no other way around it,” she says in a post.

Lauren Simpson is giving her followers a glimpse of her lower body workout – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the fitness influencer flaunts her amazing figure in an ab-baring pink exercise set, looking fit and fabulous. “Diary of a leg day,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps and clips. In them she shares a few of the exercises she did and reveals that pre-workout before the gym and a little post-workout sushi action is all part of her day. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Strength Training

Lauren, who is “passionate” about exercise, relies on strength training. “I made the switch from being a ‘cardio bunny’ to lifting heavy weights! During that time, I would go on social media to look at girls who competed in Fitness competitions,” she told Simply Shredded.

2. Minimal Cardio

Lauren doesn’t do a lot of cardio. “A workout routine focusing primarily on weight training with minimal to no cardio works best for me. My style of training is a cross between powerlifting and bodybuilding. I am an ectomorph body type and I find it quite hard to maintain muscle mass. Lifting heavy has really helped to stimulate my overall muscle growth, particularly with my lower body,” says Lauren.

3. Paying Close Attention to Nutrition

Lauren doesn’t wing it when it comes to diet. “I follow a blended approach between macros and clean eating,” says Lauren. “I know my exact macros and I have a clean meal plan to hit these macros. When planning my meals, I also keep things like nutrient timing in mind too especially around my workouts.”

4. Here Is What She Eats in a Day

Here is what Lauren eats in a day:

  • Meal 1: 5 ounces Egg Whites, 3 ounces Oats and 1 tablespoon Honey
  • Meal 2: 1 scoop Protein and 1 cup Blueberries
  • Meal 3: 3 ½ ounces Barramundi and 9 ounces Sweet Potato
  • Meal 4: 2 ½ ounces Chicken Breast, 5 ounces Mixed Vegetables and 1 ½ ounces Walnuts
  • Meal 5: 3 ½ ounces Turkey Mince, 3 ½ ounces Pumpkin, ¼ cup Baby Spinach Leaves and 2 ounces Avocado
  • Meal 6: 1 scoop Protein and ¼ cup Almonds

5. There Is No Shortcut

In a recent post, Lauren gets real about what it takes to build your glutes. “POV: doing this workout every single day will snatch your waist, build your glutes & get you losing 10kg…. 🤥 Claims like this are made all over social media. If you dive deeper into it…content creators all use the EXACT same wording on all their posts in a hope to go viral & it’s all just click bait for views🙄 spreading misinformation like wildfire!” she writes. Be careful who you take your advice from on here. Want to build your glutes? Lift heavy shit. Eat food to fuel your body. Don’t listen to morons 🤣.”

Noelle Leyva is a model and influencer. She is known for her fitness content. Last month, she celebrated the holidays on Instagram. In a post, Leyva is seen in red sweats. She captioned it, “Can’t wait for Christmas.”

She Does Squats

Leyva shares a lot of her favorite workouts in an Instagram story highlight. She included a video of herself doing squats. According to The Cleveland Clinic, squats can improve your posture. “Poor posture can cause all kinds of problems, including back pain, neck pain, headaches and an overall lack of flexibility. But working your erector spinae muscles, like through squatting, can help strengthen them and improve your posture.”

She Does Hamstring Curls

Leyva included a video of herself doing hamstring curls in her Instagram story highlight. Asphalt Green states that doing these can have a lot of benefits. “Hamstring curls are a great way to balance the muscles that you work when you’re doing leg extensions. This exercise is also good for people with sedentary jobs who don’t get a lot of walking in. Even pro cyclists can benefit from using this machine, since biking works the quads so heavily and doesn’t do as much for the hamstrings. With hamstring curls, you’re essentially doing the opposite motion to leg extensions. You’re exerting force by bending and pulling with your legs instead of pushing with them.”

She Strength Trains

In her Instagram story highlight, Leyva is seen doing strength training exercises like pushdowns and using weights. Strength training is very beneficial. The Mayo Clinic states, “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.”

She Does Cardio

Leyva revealed in her Instagram story that she likes to do cardio workouts. Cardio has a lot of benefits. The Cleveland Clinic says, “A good cardiovascular workout will have you consistently breathing faster than you would while resting. The result: More oxygen in your blood for your heart to pump to the rest of your body.”

She Does Pulldowns

Leyva is also seen doing lateral pulldowns in her Instagram story highlight. These have a lot of benefits. Piedmont says, “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.”

HIIT and Cardio for Weight Loss

Circuit Training

Ana is a fan of circuit training. “I love to work in circuits (supersets, tri-sets and giant sets) when I lift because it keeps my heart rate up through the workout and it’s great when you’re pressed for time.

  1. Stiff Leg Deadlifts: “They are great for tightening the back of my leg and works great on the glute/hamstring tie in. I also love the burn I get from it every time,” she says.
  2. Arnold Press: “It has helped me gain some decent size on my deltoids. Truly a great compound exercise,” she adds.
  3. Lunges: “This exercise can be performed anywhere and has also been a huge help in getting my quads and hamstrings in shape,” she explains.

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.”

Sharvari isn’t just making waves in the film industry—she’s dominating the fitness game too. Known for her roles in Munjya, Maharaj, and Vedaa, the rising star proves that strength and discipline extend far beyond the big screen.
In her latest Instagram post, Sharvari showcased her grit with a hardcore beach workout, flipping a massive tire in the sand.

So, how does she stay in such incredible shape? From strength training to boxing, here’s a look at her go-to fitness moves.

She Strength Trains

In her Instagram post, Sharvari is seen doing a strength training exercise. The Mayo Clinic says 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. This can help you maintain independence as you age.”

She Does Yoga

Sharvari shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. One thing she likes to do is yoga. Sharvari posted this video of herself doing poses on her page. John Hopkins Medicine states that yoga is very beneficial. “Regular yoga practice may reduce levels of stress and body-wide inflammation, contributing to healthier hearts. Several of the factors contributing to heart disease, including high blood pressure and excess weight, can also be addressed through yoga.”

She Plays Padel

Sharvari likes to play padel to keep herself in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself on the court. Playing padel has a lot of health benefits. Everybody Health & Leisure says, “It improves cardiovascular fitness, helps to build strength and endurance, enhances coordination and promotes overall physical and mental well-being. Not to mention, it’s a fantastic way to burn calories.”

She Boxes

Another thing that Sharvari does to keep herself in shape is box. She first picked this up when training for the film, Vedaa. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself punching a bag. Sharvari captioned the post, “BEAST MODE on for Vedaa! ⚠️☠️🥊 Took up boxing to become Vedaa... Now I am ready to pack a punch or be strong enough to take a brutal beating 💪#Vedaa coming to a theatre near you on August 15th.”

She Runs

Sharvari likes to run to keep herself in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself running on the beach. She captioned the post, “Decided to seas the day!” Better Health says that running is very beneficial. “Regular running or jogging offers many health benefits. Running can: help to build strong bones, as it is a weight bearing exercise, strengthen muscles, improve cardiovascular fitness, burn plenty of kilojoules, help maintain a healthy weight.”

Natasa Stankovic isn’t just a content creator—she’s a fitness inspiration. Known for sharing intense workout sessions on Instagram, she keeps her followers motivated with creative exercise challenges and dynamic routines.

In her latest post, Stankovic teamed up with Aleksandar Illic for a lower body blast, pushing through variations of squats and lunges. Dressed in a sleek two-piece workout set, she captioned the session, “Wednesday challenge,” proving that fitness is all about consistency and fun.

So, how does she maintain her lean, strong physique? From strength training to Pilates, here’s a look at Stankovic’s go-to workout moves.

She Does Squats

Stankovic does squats to keep herself in shape, as you can see in her Instagram video. Piedmont says that this exercise has a lot of health benefits. “Whether you’re hoping to tone your muscles, strengthen your core or just improve overall health, squats are one of the best exercises you can do. 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.”

She Does Lunges

Stankovic is also seen doing lunges in her Instagram video. The Mayo Clinic reports that lunges are very beneficial to do. “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 Cardio

Stankovic likes to do cardio workouts to keep herself in shape. She shared this video of herself doing fast box jumps in different directions on Instagram. Stankovic captioned it, “Morning cardio challenge.” Cardio exercises have a lot of benefits. The Cleveland Clinic says, “When you work your heart and other muscles of your body during cardio exercise, this increases oxygen supply to your whole body, allowing all muscles to work harder and more efficiently. Over time, regular cardio exercise allows your muscles to adapt to an increased workload, making regular activities seem easier.”

She Does Pilates

Stankovic shares a lot of her favorite workouts in an Instagram story highlight. In some of the stories, she is seen doing Pilates exercises on a reformer. Pilates is very beneficial. The Cleveland Clinic says, “One of the reasons Pilates is such a good workout is that it specifically focuses on building core strength.”

She Strength Trains

Stankovic likes to strength train to keep herself in shape. She shared this Instagram story of herself using dumbbells. ACE Fitness says that strength training and using weights has a lot of health 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.”

Kim French is more than just a personal trainer—she’s a fitness coach who empowers thousands through her Believe App and Instagram workouts. Known for her structured, effective home training plans, she proves that you don’t need a gym full of heavy weights to build serious strength.

In a recent Instagram post, French shared a glimpse of her at-home training, reminding followers that smart training delivers "REAL results." Rocking a sleek two-piece workout set, she showcased some of her go-to exercises, emphasizing that with the right strategy, anyone can see progress.

So what’s in her routine? From deadlifts to hip thrusts, here’s how French sculpts her powerhouse physique.

She Does Deadlifts

French is seen doing deadlifts in her Instagram post. This exercise has a lot of benefits. NASM says, “A Romanian deadlift is a hip-hinge pattern that works the hamstrings and glutes. It is a form of deadlift with noticeably less bend in the knee, leading to greater hamstring engagement than traditional deadlifts. The move was introduced to the masses in the 90s by Romanian weightlifter Nicu Vlad (an Olympic and World Weightlifting champion) and his coach Dragomir Cioroslan. The two invented the move to help Nicu strengthen his back for the clean and jerk. Today, 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 Does Lunges

Another exercise that French is seen doing in her Instagram post is lunges. NASM says that they are very beneficial. “The lunge is a versatile, simple and effective movement for lower body training. Various positions, planes of motion and speeds can all yield different training adaptations for the exerciser. Lunges are the gift that keeps on giving!”

She Does Squats

French is seen doing squats in her Instagram video. According to The Cleveland Clinic, squats are very beneficial. “Here’s a quick look at the many benefits of squats, also known as bodyweight squats or air squats: Works major muscle groups. Burns calories. Strengthens your core. Improves lower body strength. Enhances stability and balance. Betters your posture.”
