Maycee Barner is showing off all her gym moods – and her amazing body in exercise clothes. In a new social media post the MMA fighter flaunts her figure in shorts and a crop top during an exercise session. “There’s no in between 😂💀 Which one are you?!” she captioned the video of all her gym moods. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Her Daily Schedule

Maycee works out from 9:30-10:30 a.m, wrestles from 1:30-2:30 p.m., and has team practice 3-4 p.m. Then, she takes a recovery period and does cryotherapy from 6-7 p.m. Then, at 8 p.m., a light run or hot tub, “depending on the day's training intensity.”

Science of Food

A scientist looking at food under a microscope.

"After I got signed with UFC, they did all these metabolic tests to create a meal plan for me, which they partnered with meal delivery service Trifecta to do," Barber told Well + Good. She avoids soy and dairy, and eats a diet high in protein, healthy fats, and lots of fibrous veggies as a result of her testing. "I've gotten really into the science behind what's best to eat because it's so important [for my job]," she said. "I've done meal plans in the past where I haven't felt good at all, I felt sick and tired all the time, but eating this way makes me feel energized and also keeps my immune system strong.”

Breakfast

"All of my meals are some sort of combination of protein and vegetables—including breakfast," says Barber. "I really love eggs, so that's something I have a lot in the mornings, often with a side of broccoli, or another high-fiber vegetable. I like to have coffee, but I wait until after my morning workout to have it. Throughout the day, I make sure to stay hydrated, too. Hydration is really important. I drink water before, during, and after all my workouts."

Lunch

Next up, lunch. "There's a poke spot close to me that I love, so I got there a lot for lunch," she says. "I do a build-your-own-bowl, adding ahi tuna and lots and lots of greens. I also add in cilantro, cucumber, and red onion. The sauce I like to put on top is lime juice-based. I love this lunch because it's super healthy, really delicious, and gives me the stamina I need to push through my next workout,” she said.

Dinner

"Dinner is...yep, more protein and veggies! One of my go-to dinners is salmon and vegetables," she says. "It has protein, healthy fats, and of course lots of fiber—everything I know my body needs to feel good. I don't actually love the taste of salmon, but I do love the way it makes me feel. As you can see, I eat a lot of fish and vegetables; that's pretty much the core of my diet. I just try to find ways to keep it mix it up and keep it interesting."

Maureen Blanquisco is modeling workout clothes. In a new social media post the IFBB contestant shows off her incredible body in a blue exercise set, driving her followers wild. “To all my baddies out there! This color makes your tan complexion POP,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “So gorgeous 🩷🥰” commented one. “OKKKAAAY SLAAY SLAAY,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


1. Swimming

When Maureen was younger she was a swimmer. “I always loved competing and performing. I usually call it “performing” instead of competing. Swimming was an individual sport. If I wanted to win, it all depended on me. I never liked depending on a team. If we lost because of them, I would get very frustrated,” she told Muscular Development.

2. Gymnastics and Cheerleading

She then moved on to gymnastics and cheerleading. “Cheerleading was fine until one time we fell during a stunt, and it wasn’t my fault. I said, I think I work better alone,” this is when she discovered weights. “I started lifting weights at age 18. That’s around the time you want to look and feel good, putting on makeup. I was doing fitness training anyway, so I started to look for something I could do competitively that fit that. I had always wanted to compete in beauty pageants, but at 5 feet tall I was too short. Then I saw the Bikini Olympia on YouTube, and the woman who stuck out to me the most was India Paulino. She was my first idol! I thought it looked so cool. The women looked amazing, and this was the closest thing to a beauty pageant I could do. I thought I could just go compete in the Olympia. I had no idea you have to turn pro first, then qualify, the whole long process. But in my head, I only had one goal, to go to the Olympia.”

3. Here Is How She Preps for Shows

“I started prepping for the Olympia right after the Boston Pro in March, so that was seven months. It was a very chill prep because I was eating clean, but I was eating more than ever in a prep. I was still dieting, but it was more calories, and I did have one cheat meal a week. Now I see this is the best approach for me: a longer prep but with more food,” Maureen said.

4. Her “Breaks” Involve Cardio

When she does go on vacation, she still exercises. “I did go on vacation to Hawaii with my partner the week after the Olympia. That was on my bucket list. I did cardio every day, but I took five days off from weights. I had a couple of treats, but nothing crazy,” she says.

5. She Doesn’t “Gain Too Much” During the Offseason

Marueen avoids overindulging in the off season. “I have a very clear mindset that if I gain too much, it will be a lot harder for me,” she told Muscle & Fitness. “In Bikini, it’s all about condition, and while you could be ‘too’ hard, you certainly can’t be soft, either.”

Rachael Attard is sharing her 21-Day Challenge – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the fitness trainer and influencer flaunts her super fit figure in a two-piece exercise set while unveiling a 21-day Christmas challenge, “completely free during December,” she writes in the caption. 4How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

She Sleeps a Lot

In a recent post she discusses the importance of getting enough sleep to “burn fat faster,” she writes. “Prioritizing quality rest is the ultimate game-changer in your fat loss journey. When you’re well-rested, everything falls into place—your energy, workouts, cravings, and even how your body responds to food. If you’re skipping on rest, you might be holding yourself back more than you realize.”

Here's What She Eats in a Day

In a blog post, Rachael revealed what she eats in a day and other important components of her diet. One sample menu would be a protein smoothie made from 1 scoop protein, ½ banana, 1 cup strawberries, 1 cup unsweetened almond milk, 1 tbsp chia seeds, 1 tbsp natural peanut butter for breakfast. Then for a snack she would have 1 cup carrot and celery sticks with 2 tbsp natural almond butter. For lunch she would eat Paleo moussaka (made with beef) and dinner, a Thai Beef Salad. Another day could be an omelette made from 2 whole eggs, 2 egg whites, bacon, spinach, mushrooms and olives for breakfast, 1 apple and 2 tbsp natural peanut butter for a snack, homemade chicken, vegetable and l

Eating the Same Foods Daily

“I eat quite similar foods on a daily basis as I find this helps me to stay on track and it’s easier when it comes to food preparation,” she says. “You’ll also notice that I don’t have many snacks and this is because my meals are quite large, so I don’t need them. I try to stick to 3 main meals and 1 snack because this is what works for me, and stops me from overeating.”

She Eats 1700 Calories Per Day

“I’m currently eating around 1700 calories and trying to stick to lower carb, however I do treat myself when I want to, and don’t count calories religiously. The main difference between this nutrition plan and my previous one, is that this one contains a lot more fiber,” she wrote in the post.

She Consumes a Lot of Fiber

“I eat least 26g of fiber per day, if not more. You should be aiming for 15g of fiber per 1000 calories. But when you are eating low carb, it is harder to hit your recommended fiber intake. This is why the majority of your carbs should come from fruit and vegetables. My main issue with not having enough fiber, was that I was feeling hungry all the time. Once I increased my fiber intake, I actually noticed a significant difference in hunger, which I’m super happy about,” she continues.

Tiana Musarra is a model, influencer, and YouTuber. She shares a lot of stunning photos on Instagram. Musarra is celebrating the Paris Olympics. A few weeks ago, she shared some photos on her page of herself modeling the Olympic 2024 collection from Fashion Nova. Musarra posed on the beach and carried a volleyball. She captioned the post, “Me for FN Olympic 2024 collection.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Tiana Musarra stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Does Squats

Musarra shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. In this post, she is seen doing a lower body workout. One thing Musarra is seen doing is squats with a barbell and a weight. She captioned the post, “First day back in 2 weeks. I wanted to share a few exercises we did. went light with it and low impact. Foots goin right into the ice bath now. Road to recovery let’s goooo.”

2. She Uses Weights

Tiana Musarra.4Tiana Musarra/Instagram

Musarra likes to use weights to stay in shape. In the previous Instagram post, she is seen using different weights. Reid Health states that using weights has a lot of mental health benefits. “Strength training not only benefits the body, it also improves mental well-being by reducing stress and anxiety. Strength training helps your brain release naturally occurring ‘feel-good’ chemicals called endorphins improving your mood and decreasing anxiety. In addition strength training can also help increase your confidence and self-esteem which in turn can increase your quality of life.”

3. She Does Hip Thrusts

Tiana Musarra.3Tiana Musarra/Instagram

In the previous Instagram post, Musarra is seen doing hip thrusts with a barbell. Gymless reports that this exercise has a lot of benefits. “Hip thrusts are a controlled and powerful movement, mainly focusing on the glutes, hamstrings, lower back, and core. This exercise is vital for developing a stronger posterior chain, contributing to improved athletic performance, alleviating lower back pain, and enhancing overall physique. Considering that about 65 million Americans experience some form of back pain, hip thrusts are a great exercise to include in your routine.”

4. She Works With A Coach

Musarra likes to work with a fitness coach to help her stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing a session on Instagram. Musarra captioned the post, “First week training with coach @afit_training 💪 working on form, mobility and growth. I always like to push myself to be better. Thank you coach Abe for helping me learn sm already! Full video will be up on my YouTube next week!”

5. She Uses A Stairclimber

In the previous Instagram video, the first thing Musarra is seen doing is using a stair climber. Pinnacle Fitness states that stair climbers are very effective. “Exercising on a stair climber can burn more calories at slower speeds than almost all other forms of exercise. A workout on a stair climber is engaging all the major muscle groups in the glutes, thighs and hamstrings which need a lot of energy to perform. They strengthen the core because you need to keep upright as you perform the exercise. Using stair climbers regularly can cut your risk of death from heart disease. A study showed that when 12 sedentary women were asked to climb a 200-step staircase, progressing from once a day to six times a day, over 2 months they reduced their cholesterol levels and increased their fitness and so cut their risk of heart disease by 33%.”

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 "More Motivated Than Ever"

Join her challenges for workouts, meal tracking, and more for a healthier lifestyle.

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

Tammy Hebrew has a banana snack.

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. Magnesium is involved in many processes in your body, including: Blood pressure. Blood sugar levels. Building proteins. Maintaining bone. Muscle function. Nerve function.”

She Loves Cottage Cheese

Tammy Hebrew's snack the contains banana and cottage cheese.

Hembrow is seen enjoying her bananas with cottage cheese in the previous Instagram video. Cottage cheese is very healthy. UCLA Health reports, “Cottage cheese’s protein content and low calories make it an ideal food for weight management. Research shows that whether you are trying to lose weight or reduce your risk of overweight or obesity, eating a high-protein diet can help you feel full and satisfied for longer.”
