Greeicy Rendón is dancing her way to a hot body – in her workout gear. In a new social media post, the Colombian actress and singer shows off her amazing body and dance moves in a sports bra and leggings. “What do you want,” she captioned the Instagram post. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


1. Fast Metabolism

Greeicy attributes her amazing body to genetics and a fast metabolism. "People really swear and swear that I'm the one who diets; no, I eat a lot," she told People de Espana.

2. Exercise

Greeicy exercises regularly to build muscle. “What happens to me is that if I don't train or exercise, I get very skinny (...) I took the exams and they told me 'you are one of the 20% of people who don't need to gain weight,'" she told People.

3. Keto

Greeicy used the keto diet for five months after having a baby to lose weight. However, she generally stays away from extreme diets. The diet consists of mainly low carb foods and no sugar. A lot of people pair it with intermittent fasting, which works by “prolonging the period when your body has burned through the calories consumed during your last meal and begins burning fat,” explains Johns Hopkins Medicine.

4. Lentils

“Something very funny happens to me and it is that every time I travel, although the idea is to try different things and everyone is happy with that, I am very closed-minded. I want my lentils, my sancocho, my chicken sudadito. I'm quite Creole in that sense,” she said about her favorite foods. “I love Colombian food.” She also fuels up with beans. “My favorite food is lentils. They serve me any food and I have to combine it with something, so I prefer to do it with lentils.

5. Dancing

Greeicy also loves to dance, showing off her moves in the video. Dancing is a great workout for many reasons. Not only does it build strength and promote flexibility, but helps you lose weight and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.

Athlete and model Ana Cozar has amassed nearly 4 million Instagram followers who look to her for fitness inspiration and wellness tips. "What is your motivation?" she asked her followers on Instagram (translated to English), showcasing her dedication to health. Through hard work, discipline, and determination, Ana continues to prioritize her fitness and overall well-being. From sharing her leg and ab workouts to pushing herself mentally and physically, Ana offers a glimpse into the routines that keep her looking and feeling her best. Here's a breakdown of how Ana maintains her incredible physique and stays motivated.


1. She works on her legs

She prioritizes strengthening her legs and working her lower body. “Good evening!!!! Here is my full leg workout for today. ➡️ I did 3 sets of each x 15 reps per leg. ✔️ If you like this workout, save and share with your partner,” she said on Instagram (translated to english).

2. She pushes through

Just as it’s important to maintain physical strength, she knows it’s so crucial to maintain mental strength, as well, pushing through tough times and never giving up. “I will never quit , I will persevere, I will be physically harder & mentally stronger , thank GOD 🙌🏽,” she said on Instagram (translated to english).

3. She shares her workouts

She shares her workouts with her following to inspire others. “FIRST WORKOUT OF THE YEAR 🥳😍➡️ Save this complete leg workout: 3 sets of haka squats x 21 reps, changing foot position every 7 reps, 5 sets of free squats x 12 reps 100k, 3 sets of Bulgarian x 15 reps per leg, 3 sets of pistols on horizontal press x 15 reps per leg, 5 sets of squats in smith x 12 reps, 3 sets of press x 15 reps, 3 sets of Bulgarian in haka, [and] 1 set of drop set squats 24 reps lowering weight every 8 reps,” she said on Instagram (translated to english).

On a series of videos of her working her ab muscles, she said “Happy Flex Friday 🦾❤️‍ABSSSSSSS 🔥🔥🔥 SAVE & SHARE 📥 Each exercise 4 sets x 15-20 reps,” she said on Instagram (translated to english). She knows it’s important to strengthen her ab muscles and work on her core. “Strong core muscles make it easier to do many activities. When your core muscles are strong, it's easier to swing a golf club, get a glass from the top shelf and bend down to tie your shoes. Strong core muscles help athletes, such as runners. That's because weak core muscles can lead to more fatigue, less endurance and injuries,” according to the Mayo Clinic.

5. She does CrossFit

Adeline Gray, a professional wrestler and six-time world champion, has cemented her legacy as one of the sport's greatest. A silver medalist at the 2020 Olympic Games, Gray continues to inspire both on and off the mat. Recently, she shared a glimpse of her training on Instagram, posting photos from a session at the Olympic Training Center. “Broke down some bar arm and chicken wing techniques with the residents,” she captioned, adding her encouragement for upcoming competitors.


Gray’s success is rooted in her disciplined training routine, mindful lifestyle changes, and commitment to empowering the next generation. Whether she’s mastering techniques, practicing yoga, or pushing her body postpartum, Gray exemplifies resilience and determination. She’s not just a champion in wrestling but a role model for aspiring athletes everywhere.

1. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

Gray shared her training routine in an interview with Sports Illustrated. She says that she does a variety of different things. “We have two mat practices four times a week. I do four days of lifting a week. Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays we do a cardio workout, a wrestling workout and an afternoon lift. Tuesdays we do a hard wrestling practice in the morning and then I lift in the afternoon. Thursday we do the mirror image of Tuesday. It’s very regimented. I live by my calendar. It tells me where I’m supposed to be all the time. Saturdays we usually have one or two workouts, and I have Sunday completely off. It all depends on if we have a competition coming up.”

2. She Makes Changes

Gray makes sure to have healthy habits, especially when it comes to her diet. She talked about having to make changes in an interview with OWaves. “I got into a habit of eating a box of Oreos a week and I broke it by having an honest conversation with myself about how bad the habit was for me. Then I made a plan to change it and reminded myself of my goals every time I wanted to fall back into the habit.”

3. She Does Deadbugs

Gray shared this video on Instagram of herself doing a deadbug exercise. She captioned it, “This is major progress. This exercise is a #deadbug that is weighted and is cross body. My body isn't just feeling good for #postpartum; it is getting #strong and able. Parts of my body are moving and feeling less pain than I can remember in years like 10 years. Spending a year+ growing these humans gave my fingers🤞 and hands time to recover. I feel gratitude for the time off the mat to let the body recover. Training for quads is tough on the body. I am still getting stronger in many areas and pregnancy & birth have their own challenges but I am cleared to compete. I'm going to be ready soon.”

4. She Wants To Inspire Others

In her Sports Illustrated interview, Gray talked about wanting to inspire young women out there. “It’s great to discover new heights, but at the same time I just want that for the younger generation. I don’t want those girls falling short and having that extra spirit being for fight for something. I think that can inspire those girls to work harder in their classes and practices. Everything they do. Their eating habits, everything. That extra little bit of effort over a 10-year period can be a huge difference for young girls.”

5. She Does Yoga

In her Sports Illustrated interview, Gray revealed that she likes to practice yoga. According to John Hopkins Medicine, yoga has a lot of health 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.”

Carys Gray is an influencer known for sharing her fitness, weight loss, and body positivity journey. Recently, she shared a body positive post on Instagram. Gray captioned the post, “Recent reality snippets 📷 I wouldn’t change it for the world, but sometimes social media can make me feel like I should try to get my act together more and be more picture perfect 😒summer is the peak time for perfect glowing posed pictures which I loveee to see BUT I also love to see the messy chaos and perfectly imperfect moments. Which there are far far far more of in my life than the picture perfect ones 🤣🥹 don’t you dare forget that this summer as you’re scrolling!!!! Your perfectly chaotic messy life is perfect just as it is.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Carys Gray stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Writes A Feel-Good List Each Day

Gray revealed in this Instagram post that she likes to write lists of what wellness practices she does each day. “FEEL GOOD FOR SUMMER WITH ME,” she wrote in the caption. “A little series/challenge I’m starting. Who’s joining me??🙋🏼‍♀️ all we have to do is write a daily feel good to do list which revolves around small steps you’d like to take towards a healthier, stronger, happier you 🧡 this is NOT about looks, weight or body shape, this is not about putting pressure on yourself or restricting yourself. This is not about strict routines or schedules. This is about LOVE, Self care, kindness, respect and trying our best for our bodies however that may look 🧡 I’ve included an example of one of my feel good to do lists in this post along with some other reminders we all need before starting our little series together. LET’S GO GUYS.”

2. She Enjoys Exercising

Gray shared this video on Instagram of herself working out. She revealed in the caption that she loves to exercise. “I still love working on celebrating my body shape at different stages of my life but how my body looks is no longer the reason I step foot in the gym🙅🏼‍♀️ it’s so much more than that now. Here’s some things I love about exercise that aren’t related to how my body looks: - Mental health benefits. - Getting stronger. - Feeling powerful and confident. - Releases endorphins. - Reduces anxiety levels. - Gives me a sense of accomplishment / challenges my body. - Improves my fitness so I can run around with Amber. - Easier to get to sleep. - More energy in the days/mornings. - Looking after myself / Self care 🤍”

3. She Lifts Weights

In the previous Instagram post, Gray is seen doing RDLs with a weight. ACE Fitness states that lifting heavy weights is very beneficial. “Using heavy weights increases intramuscular coordination, the number of type II motor units and the amount of muscle fibers engaged within a specific muscle. Have you ever felt your muscles shaking while lifting heavy weights? This is because you are recruiting and activating the larger type II muscle fibers, which are only stimulated to work when a muscle is challenged with heavy resistance or working to fatigue.”

4. She Swims

Gray loves to swim to stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself in the pool. Gray captioned the post, “Spa day ✨ I remember when I first started gaining weight I put away all my bikinis and ordered 3 full body swimsuits from ASOS...🙄 I’ve come a long way since then but all I can say is, wear what you want and feel GOOD in it!!! You shine brightest when you’re just being YOU from the inside out ✨ ps: the water was SO much colder than I thought it was going to be.”

5. She’s Positive

Gray is all about positivity, and she talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “I doubt any of us would define ‘living life’ as tearing ourselves down 80% of the time??! So why do we do it!!!? Living life is showing up exactly AS WE ARE! Whatever stage we’re at, life keeps going and we gotta keep up! Constantly being our biggest critic is exhausting and a WASTE of time. Our ‘best self’ isn’t us at our ‘slimmest’ or ‘curviest’ or ‘in 2008...’ this is the NOW and this is YOU. You’re bloody fabulous!! Show up, exist, be you, accept, love, laugh, grow, and realise.. you are ENOUGH.”

Senada Greca may be on vacation, but she is just as dedicated to her workout routine as when she’s at home. Greca shared videos of herself doing an upper body and abdominal workout, wearing black exercise gear as she put herself through her paces in the bright sunshine of St. Barts. She also shared exactly which moves she was doing, breaking them down for each video. reca’s incredible, strong, toned physique is all the advertisement she needs for her training routine—here’s what her exercise regimen and diet look like.


1. Her Fitness Philosophy

Greca’s workouts are focused on strength training with weights and resistance bands. “I am a sincere believer that fitness and movement should be an inseparable part of someone’s life. We were born to be active, born to be mobile,” she told Glamour South Africa. “Thus, I encourage people to make movement fun and interesting, and in turn sustainable… I like to focus on legs 2-3 days per week, on upper body 2 days, and 1 full body workout per week. Sunday I work abs and throw in some fun active-rest work, like bicycling or a long walk.”

2. Lots of Protein

Greca’s diet is centered around protein intake. “I’m a flexible eater. My main focus is getting enough protein daily; carbs and fats fill the rest of my macros, which I intuitively track,” she told Glamour South Africa. “I suggest that most people do track their macros, especially in the beginning of their fitness journey, so as to learn what the proper way of feeding ones’ self looks like.”

3. Strength Through Aging

4. Sustainable Changes

Greca encourages beginners to start with small, sustainable steps on their journey to fitness—and to keep a positive mindset. “I know where I have been mentally and physically when fitness wasn’t a part of my life, so wanting to keep the monsters of anxiety and depression away keeps me motivated and accountable,” she told Glamour South Africa. “I know for many, self-talk is an inhibitor, but for me it is the most persuasive and consistent accountability partner I could ever have. One just needs to change that self talk into being positive and encouraging.”

5. Full Workout

Here is Greca’s upper body abs workout in full, according to her post: “Upper / Abs Workout No Equipment, Anywhere so Save and Share 👯‍♀️. To train with The Senada Method, WeRise App Iink in my BIO 💪 Yes… I work out on vacation because to me, working out is not a chore, but rather a way to care for my body and mind. When we shift our perspective from “I have to” to “I get to”, then working out becomes not only enjoyable but also sustainable 🫶.”

Fitness model Michelle Lewin is asking fans their opinion on where she should compete next. Lewin, 38, shared a video of herself wearing bikini bottoms and a black tank top, posing in front of a mirror. “Will we compete again? 😜 And what category? Bikini or Wellness?” she captioned the post. “Beautiful Michelle! You are an example of perseverance and discipline ❤️,” a fan commented. Here’s how the fitness influencer stays strong and happy while juggling family and career.


1. Intense Cardio

Lewin loves intense cardio sessions at least once a day, especially when she’s trying to cut weight for competitions. “I just love to sweat like a maniac,” she told Simply Shredded. “So whatever I feel like: StairMaster, rollerblading around South Beach Miami or spinning classes. I keep the intensity high and make sure that I am always pushing my hardest.”

2. Go-To Exercises

Lewin has three exercises she would pick if she had to limit herself: “Sprints – Helps tighten that booty and burns fat at the same time,” she told Simply Shredded. “Lunges – Great exercise to really target my leg muscles. Side Lateral Raises – Boring for some people but I love to train shoulders and I feel that side raises have really helped sculpt my delts.”

3. Weights and Cardio

Lewin works out twice a day, mixing it up with weights and cardio. “My day consists of two workouts: cardio in the morning and weight training in the evening,” she told Iron Man Magazine. “But that’s the only thing that is constant from day to day. My life is packed with meetings, photo shoots, gym videos, and a lot of traveling. I train six days a week. I do cardio in the morning for 45 minutes and weights every evening. I do all muscle groups once per week, but I focus mostly on glutes and abs, which I train twice a week.”

4. Zumba Workouts

Lewin loves fun workouts like Zumba, which keep you going and don’t feel like a grueling exercise. She suggests doing it in hotel rooms while traveling if necessary. "Each move you make is accompanied by music, and music is the main motivator,” she told PEOPLE. “You forget to count while you are exercising and enjoy yourself while you do this one-hour workout that works out every muscle in your body."

4. Always Ready

Lewin doesn’t take a break from training, after a negative experience while on vacation. “I wasn’t able to keep up my routine, and it took almost two months to get back in shape,” she told Iron Man Magazine. “I really learned from that and will never do that again! I’m usually just seven days out from being shoot or competition ready. My body is my career and a business, so I can’t afford to let it go.”

Bianca Bustamante is revving up her engine in 2025 – in her workout gear. In a new social media post, the racecar driver reveals she is taking “the next major step” in her physical journey as a race driver “and I’ve set the target high!” she says in a new Instagram post, filled with video clips of herself lifting heavy weights at the gym. “Never been more motivated in my life, it’s not physically easy for a girl in this sport, but I’m super excited to take on this new challenge and the next big step on my racing journey,” she added. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her top lifestyle tips.

Lifting Weights

Bianca spends hours at the gym where she focuses on strength training along with endurance, cardio, reaction time, and reflexes. “You know, to be a driver, it’s a complete package. It takes strength. It takes mental fortitude. It takes reflexes, smart thinking, and survival skills,” she told MEGA Active. “Sometimes it's for the body, sometimes it's for the mind. Nothing more peaceful than early sessions,” she captioned an Instagram post of one of her sessions.

Double Down On Training

In her recent post, Bianca reveals that she working extra hard at the gym. “I’ve been working hard over the years to build a solid foundation, but in 2025, I’ll be working with @j_w_90 and I’m doubling down on my training. Increasing to two workouts a day not just on lifts but aerobic endurance, as well as a better focus on nutrition and rest, in order to raise the bar to compete in the higher formulas,” she said.

Fueling Your Body With Protein

Bianca makes sure to eat enough protein in order to build more muscle and stay as lean as possible to meet the weight requirement. “It’s been a really cool journey seeing my body develop and transform into this whole different person I never knew I could become,” she said. In her new post she added that she is meal prepping. “I’m soooo all in that im even learning how to cook & meal prep better than ever before,” she writes.

Taking Cold Plunges

As for recovery, cold plunging is part of Bianca’s training regime. Limited research supports the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increasing focus, improving sleep, and decreasing inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes post-sport recovery.

Working On Self-Esteem

Positive self-talk is also important. “Of course, I put a lot of pressure on myself, but in the end, I always tell myself that as long as I give my best and I learn from it, any mistake I make is valid,” Bianca explained. “I always try to repeat that to myself that I am valid. I’m here for a reason and there’s nothing I would rather do than be here.”

Brenda Perlaza is flaunting her fantastic figure in a tiny bikini. In a new social media post the influencer, who calls herself La Barbie Negra, looks flawless as she poses on the beach in a neon yellow swimsuit. “#viral,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Wow Wow,” one of her followers commented, while several others added fire emojis. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Jogging

Brenda enjoys jogging. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

Walking Her Dog

She also takes her dog on long walks. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Dancing

You can also find Brenda dancing to burn calories. Dancing is an excellent workout for many reasons. It builds strength and promotes flexibility, helps you lose weight, and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop or die from heart disease than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues

Swimming

Brenda spends a lot of time in her swimsuit so it isn’t surprising she loves to swim. According to the CDC, swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, multiple studies support the mental health benefits of swimming.

Hydration

Finally, Brenda hydrates, especially after a long workout or sun exposure. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

But that amount varies depending on your weight, speed and stroke.”

She's Vegan

Romani is open about following a vegan diet. She shares a lot of posts on her Instagram story highlights of herself enjoying vegan foods. The American College of Lifestyle Medicine states that being vegan has a lot of health benefits. “Overall, nutrition from plant-based diets is typically of higher quality than omnivorous diets, as assessed by the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI).28 A whole food plant-based (WFPB) diet is one made up of predominantly unprocessed fruits, vegetables, whole grains legumes, nuts and seeds, and excludes animal foods, with certain selective supplementation of vitamins B12. Sometimes D. Intentionally planned, WFPB diets provide sufficient nutrient intakes for all stages of life and can be therapeutic for chronic disease and overall health and healing.29 The plant-based dietary pattern protects against overconsumption of nutrients that lead to obesity and disease,30 particularly animal protein, saturated fat,31 trans-fats, cholesterol simple sugars,32 and sodium.33, 34”

She Works Out Consistently

Romani makes sure to work out on a regular basis. She shares a lot of Instagram stories in her highlights of herself at the gym. The Mayo Clinic says that regular exercise is extremely important. “Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help you keep off lost weight. When you take part in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn. 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

She Supports Animals

Romani has her own charity, Help Miami Cats. She talked about how she started this in the caption of this Instagram post. “❤️ Guys!!!! I have always loved cats and had many growing up. When I moved to Miami Beach I met a great calico named Chacha and learnt that cats were brought to the city by Mayor Lummus … against rodents. Cats rely on volunteers for their food and water and there’s a huge amount of them. There’s a city program to Spay and neuter with the wonderful @sobecats ladies and the feeding is made official by a City Sanctioned badge, yet new cats keep getting dumped daily sadly and there’s a never ending amount of work, emergencies and so on. I was on a feeding rotation but during the pandemic I was left alone caring for so many as people left town or couldn’t afford feeding anymore …I decided to start my own non profit @helpmiamicats . We feed close to 200 and when Batman got paralyzed took him and other special needs cats under my care … @stevensachs69 with the cat room and the amazing people involved devote their lives to these special souls … My life has changed a lot too … way less spare time, way more sweat and tears and lost the person I had by my side who had sadly other priorities … yet gained so much love from these lovely creatures !!! If you can please get involved in any way … follow @helpmiamicats , share, volunteer, adopt … donate … Only together we can make their world a better place !!! And yes … just me feeding the kitties and talking to them … 🤷🏻♀️👀😆❤️🙌”
