Gabby Windey in Workout Gear Says Treatment is "Worth Every Bit of It"

Gabby Douglas is ready to make her comeback! In a new social media post the celebrated gymnastic trains for the Paris Olympics. “wow guys, what a journey so far. it’s had its ups and downs, but i’m not done pushing the boundaries. i’m determined to make every moment count! SO happy to get back out on the competition floor and enjoy this sport that i fell in love with as a little girl. here’s to never giving up on our dreams. let’s do this,” she captioned a post of herself back in the gym. Aside from gymnastics, how does the athlete approach health and wellness? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Walking

Gabby maintains that you don’t have to “do anything extravagant” to get into shape. “You can take a walk around your property or even walk [around] your house, take your dog on a walk, and just get those steps in…I didn’t find huge benefits in overworking your body,” she told HollywoodLife TVTalk.

2. Ab Work

Gabby does a lot of abs. “Honestly, if you want to get that perfect shape, if you want to get abs, I recommend crunches. Crunches and hollow rocks and lift your legs when you go down and touch [your toes]. You’ll have abs within 24 hours,” she told HollywoodLife. “The thing is, you don’t want to overdo it because you could be really sore, right? So you just kind of want to take it into moderation and maybe 2 sets of 20, however many you can handle. You can do it every day or you can do it every other day.”

3. Protein Packed Diet

Working out “every single day” isn’t enough, claims Gabby. Your diet is also important, specifically eating “a lot of protein,” she says. “I have been a health nut and I recently switched my diet around the last few years because I wasn’t getting the proper nutrition and even protein into my diet and just so many supplements that I was lacking.”

4. Arm Exercises

Gabby also lifts weights. “Honestly and here’s my secret — I don’t workout my arms as much as I workout my legs or as much as my body,” she admitted to HollywoodLife. “I love a long, toned arm and not too masculine, but that’s just my body. You love what you love and so I just do stretches with my arms to try to elongate everything.”

5. Daily Exercise

Gabby doesn’t take days off at the gym. “I try to workout every single day, maybe one day off. Or I try to do every other day because we all need rest,” she added.

6. Switching Up Workouts

“I’m used to doing the same thing every single day, whereas now I get to switch it up. Like, today we’ll do HIIT. Today we’ll do trampoline. Today we’ll do a dance workout. Today we’ll just dive in and it’s been fun even to be creative with myself, coming up with workouts that I find enjoyable because I believe you should be having fun when you workout,” she added to HollywoodLife. “I love hard work and I love to sweat but at the same time though, you should love what you do.”

Melissa Joan Hart is celebrating workout success – in her exercise clothes. In a new social media post the Sabrina the Teenage Witch star shows off her amazing body after a sweat session at her husband’s gym. “When the hot 🔥 owner is your husband, you get a shoulder ride to post your 100th class photo on the wall! @bft_brentwood,” she captioned the post. “This is the best!! Way to go sis!!!” commented one of her followers. “Lucky lucky man…” added another. How does the actress approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Motivation: Her Family

It’s all about motivation when it comes to weight loss, according to Melissa who lost 40 pounds in 2014. “Being able to take off layers or put on a jean that’s a size smaller is so refreshing and it just makes it easier just to move through life,” she said in a video for E! “Especially when chasing children. It just makes it easier for me to play with them and run after them and have the energy.” She added: “Staying in shape and staying fit is so important in my life just because of all the things I want to do.” Some more weight loss benefits? “It just made me happier. It made me feel physically and emotionally lighter to be able to do the things I wanna do, to be able to wear the clothes I wanna wear, to be able to feel sexy around my husband again,” she said. “I’m very proud of myself.”

2. Workouts with Her Husband

Melissa’s husband, who owns BFT Brentwood, a Nashville workout studio that focuses on group strength training and conditioning, is her personal trainer. “Since he’s such an avid workout guy, I wanted to have him train me to see how my body could shift and change,” she told People. While she takes classes like everyone else, she also trains with him for one hour, three times a week, mostly focusing on weight training.

3. Cardio Twice a Week

Melissa also does cardio two other days a week. Her go-to form is spinning. Why is it a great workout? According to the Cleveland Clinic, biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.

4. Shakes

Melissa is a fan of Slim Fast shakes. “If my kids are eating something I don’t want, like pizza or burgers, I can have a shake, and it’s satisfying,” Melissa told Us. “It gets me through the night without any cravings, and I feel so much better the next day.”

5. Treat Yourself

Melissa doesn’t deprive herself. "One of my slimming secrets is to treat yourself. It can't be about deprivation. If I want to have a piece of cake or a slice of pizza, I do. And then I get back on track the next day," she told Us.

Danielle Cabral is flashing her flat abs – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the Real Housewives of New Jersey star shows off her impressive midsection while revealing her new workout. “Fun little photoshoot,” she wrote in the caption. "Never thought in a million years that my casual wear would include a belly shirt!” How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care?

1. CrossFit

In her new post, Danielle revealed details about her exercise routine. “My workout is crossfit! I've been focusing on upper body this past month. I love seeing progress!” she said. CrossFit is a form of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) that focuses on improving strength, endurance, and body composition. However, it can result in injury if not done properly. The involvement of well-educated coaches decreases the injury rate.

2. Mommy Makeover

Danielle discussed the details of her “mommy makeover” to BravoTV. "I had terrible C-Sections that left my body destroyed, and after working out a lot, I realized I couldn't do any more," she said. "So, I got a tummy tuck — they call it a 'mommy makeover' — a tummy tuck and lipo[suction], and it changed my whole body," she explained. "It changed my confidence, and I'm really happy. So yeah, I did that glow-up."

3. Hiking

Danielle enjoys hiking. During a trip to Hollywood she took her family hiking to see the Hollywood sign. According to the National Parks Service, 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

4. Hard Work at the Gym

Danielle puts a lot of work into her body. “I am so happy my hard work is paying off. I'm in that gym as many days as I possibly can. Constantly pushing. I'm still not comfortable with my stomach and the stretch marks (not sure I ever will be) but at least I'm feeling more comfortable in my skin,” she said.

5. Subhead Goes Right Here

In her book Beyond Body, she explains that there is more to her body than just diet and exercise. She says that “well-being, sleeping impact, mindfulness, stress relief techniques, healthy living, and a busy work schedule balance,” all contributes, she said in a Reel.

Carolinne Hobo is an incredible CrossFit athlete. “Quarantine video, I took my equipment to my balcony and trained every day, even though I was unmotivated and insecure. This was the only commitment I could keep at that time. And look at the irony! My life went on, things started to get sorted out, and maintaining a minimum of discipline at the time saved my mind from going crazy. Reconsider looking at “workout” as just a physical goal, see it as a remedy for all the other things that drain all your energy and motivation. The other areas of your life will thank you,” she said on Instagram (translated to english). Here’s what Carolinne does to maintain her fit physique.

1. She makes time for the gym

No matter how busy her week gets, she makes time for her health. “What a busy week, my friends😮‍💨Is everyone alive there? If you answered, it's because you survived and have more life ahead of you🙌🏼,” she said on Instagram (translated to english) with clips of her working out and going through the motions. “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 stairs instead of the elevator or rev up your household chores. Consistency is key,” according to the Mayo Clinic.

2. She has fun with her workouts

She does serious workouts, but doesn’t always take herself too seriously. “Syncro Facing Burpee Box Jump Over Pushup”🙃 A good Monday is one that starts with clowning around. Here's the challenge: don't break your teeth or your shins🥰#challenge #crossfit #training,” she said on Instagram (translated to english).

3. She pushes herself

She pushes herself to truly see results. “Teach your brain how much you like to train, and your body will deliver the results 🔥! * the voice is of the neuroscientist@carlatieppo #workout #training #tapago,” she said on Instagram (translated to english), on a video of her weight lifting.

4. She stays motivated

She stays motivated in the gym. “Motivation is everything…,” she said on Instagram (translated to english) on a video clip meant to be funny, but the message is still there. She knows it’s important whether it’s coaches, friends, or her own internal voice, to keep the motivation there and push herself to reach her goals.

5. She’s accepting

She’s accepting and kind to herself. “Ah... but she's very strong. Ah... but she's very thin. Ah... but she has a lot of muscle. Ah... but she's fat. OK👍🏼. Who cares? When you like your results, the demands and comparisons can be left to the dissatisfied🤷🏻‍♀️. Amen,” she asked on Instagram (translated to english) on a video of her working out.
