Heidi Montag In Workout Gear Does Squats In Her Kitchen

Melissa Teich is a fitness competitor, who competes in the IFBB. She is also a coach. Teich shares a lot of workout videos on Instagram. A few weeks ago, she shared a video of herself doing squats with weights. She captioned the post, “Squat dump from the past few weeks 👻 When I look at the program and see my squat numbers for the week I get mad anxiety but lately it’s honestly been my best lift in training. I have high hopes for something in the low 500’s (in sleeves) at the American Pro in 9 weeks! Based on how things have been moving in the gym I have no doubt we can make it happen! I don’t compete just to compete, I show up to f*cking WIN. 9 weeks to work! LFG!”

1. She Does Squats

As you can see in her Instagram post, Teich likes to do squats to stay in shape. Piedmont reports that the exercise is very beneficial. “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. A squat has more overall benefits than, say, a bicep curl, which strengthens an isolated area.”

2. She Uses Weights

Teich is also seen using weights in her Instagram post. She also shared these videos of herself lifting barbells. Teich captioned the post, “This past training week was good to me 🫶🤙 Only up about 5-6 lbs from my stage weight and I think it’s safe to say estrogen has re-entered the chat if you know what I mean (from a strength standpoint; nothing to do with a period- this girl doesn’t have one of those things thank god!)😆 strength is back tenfold and I PR’d every lift 💥 315 lbs to a 2 board, 500 lbs deadlift beltless & strapless and 530 lbs overload deadlift with mini bands. Life is good 😎Platform ready…just over 5 weeks out 🙌”

3. She Pushes Herself

Teich makes sure to push herself when she works out. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Worked up to a max rep yesterday and was super happy with this. 415 for a sleeved top single at bodyweight 145 and 4.5 weeks out from stepping on stage. Naysayers will say I shouldn’t be doing this so close to a show and blah blah blah. Or that I over train. What it really comes down to is how one has conditioned the body over years and years of dieting and competing. I know what my body is capable of, I know just how hard I can push myself and I know I’m not one to back down #neversettle. So say what you will, think what you will, but I’ll just let the work and the end result do the talking 🤙🔥💯”

4. She Swims

Teich doesn’t just like to hit the gym to work out. She also likes to workout in the pool by swimming. Teich shared this photo on Instagram of herself after swimming some laps. She captioned the post, “Swam a couple miles and got a couple tan lines this afternoon 💦💦 🏊‍♂️🏊‍♂️ getting that triathlon itch again 🤷‍♀️”

5. She Has Dogs

Teich has two dogs, whom she prominently features on her Instagram. She shared this video of herself celebrating her pup’s birthday. Teich captioned the post, “Juice and Nia’s 3rd Birthday 🥳

Yes, I made them homemade cakes and I made @rafeteich sing happy birthday to them with me 🤣🤣Don’t mind the half chewed up rug compliments of Ms. Nia 😆”

Ashley Nocera, a well-known fitness influencer, has captured the hearts of her audience by combining humor and fitness. With a knack for making workouts fun, she often shares comedic videos that showcase her creativity and dedication to staying in shape. In a playful Instagram post from July, Nocera is seen lifting a barbell in various spots around her house—even on the roof. The video, captioned “When your parents tell you to clean the house 😅,” highlights her entertaining yet effective approach to fitness. Known for her engaging social media presence, Nocera inspires her followers to stay active and embrace a healthy lifestyle in a lighthearted and enjoyable way.

1. She Lifts Weights

In her Instagram video, Nocera is seen lifting weights. ACE Fitness states that this 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.”

2. She Does Burpees

Nocera likes to do burpees to keep herself in shape. She shared this video of herself and Carrie Underwood doing them on Instagram. Burpees are very beneficial. The Cleveland Clinic states, “Burpees are brutally efficient as a workout tool, meshing cardio and strength training into an extremely high-intensity package. In seven simple movements, the exercise works your body from top to bottom.”

3. She Hikes

Nocera likes to go for hikes to keep herself in shape. She shared these photos and a video on Instagram of herself hiking up stairs and on a trail. Nocera captioned the post, “The climb speaks to our character, but the view speaks to our soul 🫶🏼” Harvard Health states that hiking is very beneficial. “Like brisk walking, hiking is a good way to improve your cardiovascular fitness, particularly if your route includes some hills, which will force your heart to work harder. Taking a hike on the slightly uneven surface of a trail also provides a natural way to engage the core muscles in your torso and to hone your balance skills.”

4. She Does Squats

Nocera likes to do squats to keep herself in shape. She included two videos in this Instagram post of herself doing them with weights. Nocera captioned the post, “Been working hard in the lab the last few weeks. Trying to make these booty gains 🍑 👊🏼” Allina Health reports that squats are very beneficial. “The squat is one of the all-around best exercises to do for your lower body. It strengthens and tones muscles in your thighs, butt and calves and improves posture, balance, flexibility and inner core strength. Squatting also improves bone mineral density to keep your bones strong.”

5. She Swims

Nocera enjoys swimming to stay in shape. She shared these photos on Instagram of herself in the pool, captioning them, “Winters almost here.” The Mayo Clinic states that swimming is very beneficial. “Swimming is often touted as a great workout for all ages, offering benefits not only for the body, but also for the mind. As a form of exercise, swimming keeps your heart rate up and builds muscle strength. It also can be a great form of stress relief.”

Read on to see 5 ways Michelle Hunziker stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing-Suit Photos!

1. She Led An Outdoor Fitness Session For Charity

Hunziker likes to share her workouts with her fans, and she once led an outdoor workout session in 2018. This event wasn’t just a way for Hunziker to workout with others, it also benefited a great cause. All the profits went towards the Doppa Difesa organization, which is a charity that helps survivors of domestic abuse.

2. She Remembers To Stretch

Hunziker posts a lot of her go-to exercises and workout routines on Facebook lives. And she remembers to start her workout with a session of stretching and warming up. The first thing Hunziker and her trainer do in this Facebook live workout video is a series of stretches. They are seen doing forward bends, oblique stretches, and working out their arms. It is important to do some stretches before doing an intense workout. According to Harvard Health, “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”

3. She Works Out Her Legs

Hunziker has a stunning set of gams, and she got them for a reason. In the same workout video on Facebook Live, Hunziker and her trainers are seen doing a lot of leg workouts. They are seen doing front lunges, leg lifts, squat step outs, and cross lunges. Leg workouts are important, and the expression “Don’t skip leg day,” rings true. The Mayo Clinic emphasizes the important of a varied and balanced workout. “Whether you create your own fitness training program or enlist the help of a personal trainer, your overall exercise plan should include several elements.”

4. She Uses A Chair In Her Workouts

Chairs aren’t just for sitting down. At least, they aren’t for Hunziker and her trainers. In their Facebook Live, Hunziker and her trainers do a lot of workouts with a chair. They are seen doing push ups, arm raises, and leg lifts with their hands on the chair. Multicare.org reports, “Whether it’s from your office, the comfort of your own home or in a class format, chair exercises are a great low-impact way to incorporate movement into your routine.”

5. She Does Workouts That Help Her Back

Hunziker revealed in an interview with Oggi that she had to make a lot of changes to her workout routine. She used to do a lot of outdoor sports, but a back injury prevented her from doing so. She then decided to do workouts that would help her back and posture. “I sneezed and my back got stuck. It is there that I discovered postural gymnastics which, together with pilates, changed my life, I never had pain again.”
