Ivy Ferguson is a professional model. She is known for her work as a Fashion Nova ambassador. Ferguson also has a large following on Instagram. Last month, she went to Cathedral George State Park for a hike, and shared highlights on her account. Ferguson captioned the post, “Otherwordly.”

She hikes

As you can see from her Instagram post, Ferguson likes to hike to keep herself in shape. She shares a lot of posts on her page of herself going hiking. ACE Fitness states that hiking has a lot of benefits. “Hiking is cardiovascular in nature, so it can provide great benefit to heart health while also improving blood pressure and blood sugar levels. Hiking helps increase the strength in the leg muscles, builds stability in the core muscles and enhances balance skills. The more technical the terrain is, along with an increase in climbing intensity, the more balance and core strength is required because more muscles are being recruited to manage the steeper terrain. As you climb, the larger muscles in your legs are activated (such as the quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings and calves), and on the descent, your glutes and quadriceps are working hard to prevent you from falling forward on the decline. Uneven terrain means many of the smaller stabilizer muscles are being worked, which increases stability and balance overall.”

She Swims

Ferguson spends a lot of time outside. An outdoor activity she does to keep herself in shape is going swimming. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself in the water. Ferguson shared this video of herself in a hot spring. She captioned it, “Somewhere between gems and potatoes 🤎♨📍 Bonneville Hot Springs. Idaho has 120 soak-able hot springs, it’s one of my favorite states for this reason. It’s my second year in a row hot spring hopping in Idaho for my birthday and I’m well on my way to experiencing them all 🤎”

She Does Yoga

Ferguson likes to do yoga to keep herself in shape. And she doesn’t stick to the traditional classes. Ferguson shared this post on Instagram of herself taking a goat yoga class. According to John Hopkins Medicine, yoga has a lot of benefits. “Yoga improves strength, balance and flexibility.Slow movements and deep breathing increase blood flow and warm up muscles, while holding a pose can build strength.”

From playing pickleball with her husband to incorporating pole workouts into her routine, Nikki proves that staying active can also be fun and empowering. Her ability to embrace her multifaceted nature—balancing fierce determination with playful creativity—sets her apart as a true fitness leader.

She Embraces All Sides of Herself

Metzger talked about embracing all sides of herself in the caption of this Instagram post. “Embracing my dual essence: merging the strength of a fierce boss babe with the allure of feminine grace. I have become more guarded over the years, and I crave a sense of openness, playfulness, and freedom that feels lost. As a business owner I have to operate with a lot of masculine get shit done energy, yet I crave to rekindle the soft sensuality that makes me feel the most like me. Adding dance into my life has been one of my favorite ways to reconnect to that side of me. Strength meets sensuality, power meets grace. You feel me?”

She Plays Pickleball

Metzger and her husband like to play pickleball together. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram video. “I'm entering my pickleball era! Who wants to play w Nick and I? We had ourselves a little Thursday morning date! Dropped Mase off at school then walked over to the @phoenicianscottsdale for a pickleball lesson w/ @dinkpositive. Walked home and grabbed our cruisers and rode into oldtown and got breakfast @bcbreakfastclub *also we played on a pickelball court, I just took pics on the tennis court. Don’t come for me 🤣”

She Does Pole Workouts

Another thing that Metzger does to stay in shape is pole workouts. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing a routine.

I got a long ways to go but that’s the fun part! Thanks to the ladies @purplepalacepolestudio for being my escape from work, life, stress 🥹🤍🙏🏼”

She Does TRX

Metzger shared this video of herself working out on Instagram. One thing she is seen doing is using TRX cables. These exercises have a lot of health benefits.

If you have ever taken a class or done some of even the most basic exercises, you quickly see that core activation is one of the most important aspects.”

Ivana Ivusic-Wilkin, a successful IFBB competitor, regularly shares glimpses of her fitness journey on Instagram. Recently, she posted a video from the gym, posing in new workout gear and expressing her goal to share more training content. Ivusic, known for her dedication to fitness, emphasizes the importance of setting personal goals, staying consistent, and doing workouts you genuinely enjoy. Her training routine includes weight training and lower body exercises, which she incorporates to stay strong and continually push her limits.

1. She Has Goals

Ivusic shared some of her wellness tips in an interview with Revive. She says that she sets goals for herself. “First thing is first, focus on your own goals! Be inspired by your own self and not some image you see online. Tell yourself there is no one you want to look more like than yourself and remember where you started! This is the most important part of sticking to your goals. We all start our fitness journey for many different personal reasons and those reasons will drive us to success if we continue to work hard every day. I encourage everyone to try different ways of healthy eating and exercising and then decide what works best for you. Do not allow other's poor choices to impact your own.”

2. She’s Consistent

Consistency is extremely important to Ivusic. She tells Revive, “Change doesn't happen overnight, it takes time and effort. We can't expect immediate results for habits we have had for countless years. If we do, we will soon be discouraged and discouragement can lead to deeper negative habits. Instead, let's focus on the process and the small changes.”

3. She Does Workouts She Likes

Ivusic tells Revive that she does exercises that she enjoys. “Start out with finding what the perfect type of exercise is for you. I highly recommend trying new things. Join a class, workout with a friend, workout alone, try group training, try cycling, etc. Most importantly do not allow yourself to think you have to work out just because you feel guilty for your daily food choices. This will set you up for failure and once we fail it can be much harder to keep going. Remember each goal takes time!”

4. She Weight Trains

Ivusic shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. She likes to weight train to stay fit. Ivusic shared this video of herself doing squats with weights. She captioned the post, “If it’s easy, make it hard. If it’s hard, make it easy.👌🏼Thanks for the hospitality @destinationdallastexas it sure felt great to be back! Always lots of excitement with the family @officialbetterbodies @officialgasp. Next stop Houston 🫡”

5. She Works Her Lower Body

Ivusic doesn’t skip leg day. In the previous Instagram post, she is seen doing squats. Ivusic also shared this video of herself doing lower body workouts like hip thrusts, single leg hip thrusts, and sumo squats. Ivusic captioned it, “Just trying to stay fit/maybe grow a little 😉 and share some training videos for y’all to follow!”

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.

She Boxes

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.”

She Does Hamstring Curls

French is seen doing hamstring curls in her Instagram post. According to The Mayo Clinic, hamstring curls are very beneficial. “The seated hamstring curl is an exercise you can do with a weight machine to work the muscles in the back of the thigh. As the name implies, the seated hamstring curl targets the hamstring muscles here in the back of the thigh. Strong hamstring muscles help to protect your ligaments in the knee.”

She Does Hip Thrusts

French shared this video on Instagram of herself doing hip thrusts. She captioned it, “Hip Thrusts are no doubt one of the best exercises for building your Glutes but of course with any exercise, the form has to be correct for you to see the maximum benefits…✖️ Feet too far forwards will engage your hamstrings more ✖️ Feet too close to you will engage your quads more ✔️ Feet placed so your calves are vertical will engage your glutes more.”
