Anais Zanotti is revealing her go-to routine – in her workout clothes. In a new social media post the health coach shows off her fit figure in a two-piece exercise set while unveiling an efficient workout. “Home VS GYM Glutes and legs 💪🏽,” she wrote in the Instagram caption. “So many of you guys are going on vacation, does not mean you can’t keep your routine in place. I always bring my bands with me wherever I go. Nothing fancy, just some superbands from Amazon.” She also went on to reveal the workout. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care and what exercises are involved in her workout? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. She Once Took the Wrong Approach to Weight Loss

In one of her Instagram posts, Anais reveals that she didn’t always take the right approach to weight loss. “At 26 years old, I was trying to get smaller and thinner, and it was always a battle for me. I was struggling to get toned and was always feeling tired, no energy, weight in the middle, muffin top.Clothes did not fit as good,” she writes, explaining everything she “was doing wrong.” It included working out 6x per week, “long hours of cardio, nonsense workout classes and when I was weight lifting I had no structure in place. Pretty much winging it,” she writes. Her nutrition was also “very poor, from pre-made frozen meals,” and involved skipping breakfast, low carbs, juicing, magic slim shakes, 1200 calorie diets, drinking often during the week, and “poor sleep, high stress due to work.”

2. Now, This Is Her Approach to Exercise

“But now, 42 years old In Perimenopause,” she changed her approach. “Focusing on getting strong, not thriving to be skinny or a number on the scale,” is important to her. She also works out four times a week, “45min max, my cardio is walking essentially and getting above 10k steps per day.”⠀

3. Here Is Her Approach to Diet

She also reset her metabolism “by adding on more muscles and balanced meals,” never skips breakfast, focuses on” eating a protein source for each big meal” and eating “whole food plant based nutrition” with “very little processed food,” and eats “around 2200cal/day,” she says, “to be able to maintain my figure, retain my muscles.”

4. She Also Focuses on Recovery

Rest and recovery is also key. “Focusing on getting my 8 hours of sleep, some days it’s harder than others,” she says. Also, she manages stress “with exercises, walking and meditation.” And, lastly, she takes care of herself. “My self care is a priority,” she writes.

5. Here Is Her Workout

Here is her “quick & effective routine,” she says. She recommends doing 4 sets of each:

• Glute bridges with loop bands 15x (not on the video)⠀
• RDL 15x⠀
• Glutes Kick backs 15x⠀

Anita Herbert is working her glutes in her exercise gear. In a new social media post the fitness influencer and Hungarian model shows off her amazing body during an intense workout session, wearing shorts and a sports bra. “Your next GLUTE workout is sorted & it’s a tough one, so prepare your cheeks,” she writes, revealing the set. “Let’s get crush it!!” How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care and what exercises does Anita do to build her backisde? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Her Journey to the Gym

“About three years ago, my husband encouraged me to go to the gym for the very first time in my life. At that time, we started training together. It took some time, but he eventually turned me on to eating healthy and weightlifting. As I began to educate myself about clean eating and training, I became very interested in this new lifestyle. I loved the way training made me feel, and I also loved seeing how my body was changing day by day. People at the gym started to take notice of how my body was changing too, and they told me that I should compete in a show. At first, I thought it was silly to even consider competing, but then I decided that I should give it a try! Before I knew it, I had five NPC overall wins in a row, and now I’m an IFBB Pro. I just got invited to the Arnold Classic for the first time, and I’m going to be on the Olympia stage in September,” she told Simply Shredded.

2. Motivated by the Mirror

“My biggest motivation is the mirror. I like to see how my body changes on a daily basis. To me, there is nothing more exciting than discovering a new striation or a new vein popping out on my body!” she told Simply Shredded. “I’m sure some might say that I am crazy, but this has become a lifestyle to me, and I love it! Of course, I have to admit that I like to eat yummy food too, but for me feeling healthy and looking ‘fit’ is far more satisfying than eating a slice of pizza. My life is all about balance, and I can still have a slice of pizza every now and then if I want too, but it just doesn’t interest me as much as it used to.”

3. Switching Up Her Workouts

Anita mixes up her routine. “I switch up my training every once in a while, so it doesn’t get boring. I also like to do aerobic classes and outdoor boot camps too! And on Sunday which is my rest day, I still like to do some form of cardio,” she says.

4. Her Top 3 Exercises

Here are Anita’s top 3 exercises:

1. Squats: “Squats are great because my booty can never be big enough,” she says.
2. Hanging Leg Raises: “I love abs and hanging leg raises seem to work the best for me. Plus living in Miami, Florida, I always have to be bikini ready!” she jokes.
3. Lateral Raises: “I love training my shoulders with lateral raises because I love to feel the burn in my shoulders,” she explains.

5. Two Diets

Anita has two diets that she stays “very consistent with,” she tells Simply Shredded. “One diet I use for my off season and the other diet I use for preparing for a competition. When I’m prepping for a competition, my diet is very strict. I consume six meals a day; I measure everything, and I absolutely have no cheats! My protein sources primarily come from chicken, fish and eggs. My carbs consist of oats, quinoa, brown rice and sweet potato. I also love all kinds of vegetables, and I incorporate them into my diet as well. During my prep, I also limit my sodium intake, and I drink one to two gallons of water per day. Off season my diet is more flexible, but I still try to eat five to six meals a day. But in off season, I am able to include one to two cheat meals a week.”

Elisa Pecini is pontificating about the importance of nutrition in her workout gear. In a new social media post the IFBB champ exercises and discusses why it’s crucial to fuel your body with healthy food. “In the intense routine of workouts, cardio, work, keeping up with nutrition is essential. Having healthy, practical options makes it a lot easier to focus on what really matters. This is why having ready, balanced meals always on hand makes all the difference to my performance,” she writes in the Instagram video. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Pecini shared her favorite glute workout with Muscle & Fitness:

2. Here Is Everything You Need to Know About Her Diet

“My diet changes several times during preparation but these are minor adjustments. It is composed of carbohydrates: rice, oats. Proteins: chicken, fish, egg white, whey protein and sometimes red meat. And lipids like avocado, nuts, peanut butter, olive oil,” Elisa told Mo Marketplace, “What changes in my off-season and pre-contest diet are the quantities as the foods are basically the same. In the off-season, I have 1 free meal a week, and most of the time it's a hamburger, but my favorite dish is to go to a good restaurant and eat grilled salmon with black rice and vegetables without having to weigh the food. I use supplements in my diets like whey protein, bcaa, glutamine, l carnitine, caffeine, pre-workout and all I use are from NewMillen because it’s the brand I know and trust, I don’t like to risk what I don’t know. In pre-contest 1200 to 1500 and off-season 2300kcal per day.”

3. Her Go-To Should Workout

4. Only One Rest Day Per Week

“I train 6 days a week. My rest day is on the seventh day which is usually on Sundays. My training routine for the week varies a lot according to the competition phase, at the moment it looks like this: shoulder, buttocks, back, shoulder, buttock, and chest,” she told Mo Marketplace. “I always vary my workouts and never repeat the same workout, I always like the various stimuli, do slow, focused exercises, sometimes use a drop set, sometimes use more load but always maintaining the quality of movement and amplitude, for me variations in a workout are very important.”

5. Cardio

Elisa finishes off her workout by walking. “My cardio is always after the 30-minute workout I like to do with the treadmill at a moderate speed(a brisk walk),” she said. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, 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 led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.
