Holly Dolke Shares "10 Min Ab Challenge" for Your "Fab Burn"

Fitness expert Holly Dolke shares her workout routines and wellness habits on Instagram and YouTube.

Holly Dolke is a fitness expert and influencer. She shares a lot of workout videos on Instagram and YouTube. Recently, she teased an ab workout on her YouTube channel on Instagram. In the post, Dolke is seen doing things like sit-ups and Russian twists. She captioned it, “Yesss, this 10 mins ab challenge just went live on my channel! 🔥 Focusing on all areas you'll get a fab burn. Head over to my youtube channel now.”


She Works Her Abs

In her Instagram post, Dolke is seen doing ab exercises. According to Harvard Health, ab exercises are very important. “Your core stabilizes your body, allowing you to move in any direction, even on the bumpiest terrain, or stand in one spot without losing your balance. Viewed this way, core exercises can lessen your risk of falling. Weak core muscles contribute to slouching. Good posture trims your silhouette and projects confidence. More importantly, it lessens wear and tear on the spine and allows you to breathe deeply. Good posture helps you gain full benefits from the effort you put into exercising, too.”

She Has A Workout Schedule

Dolke revealed in this Instagram video that she has a schedule for her workouts. She captioned it, “I have a workout schedule that I always stick to. For me, this has become a habit to do and if it needs to change, I'm flexible. But I always workout 4x a week. Sunday: Toning. Monday: HIIT or spin. Tuesday: Toning. Wednesday: Rest. Thursday: Walk and Toning. Friday: rest. Saturday: Rest and walk. This is what works for me as I'm not on a mission to lose weight! I want to maintain and get toned, specifically my thighs and booty.”

She's Consistent

Dolke makes sure to stay consistent with her fitness. She revealed in the caption of the previous Instagram post that having a schedule helps her stay consistent. “I've made this a habit through consistency. But I got to become consistent but sticking to a regular schedule. For me, it's the default to workout after I drop the kids at school so I can focus. And on Sunday , I train when Ez takes his nap. My biggest advice to anyone who's struggling with consistency is pick a day and time and STICK to it. No excuses. Block it out in your calendar and show up. Get someone to hold you accountable if needed, but having it set somewhere is what sets the discipline.”

She Does Jumping Jacks

Dolke likes to do jumping jacks to keep herself in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing them. Dolke captioned the post, “Workouts and exercise is a big form of self care! After I finish a workout I instantly feel energised and my mood lifted. Movement can be as small as a walk, or a 30 minute routine. It doesn't matter as long as you move. I know so many women who struggle to even show up for themselves and fit a workout into their day.”

She Loves Chamomile Tea

Dolke shared some of her wellness habits in this Instagram post. One of them is drinking chamomile tea. Mount Sinai reports that drinking chamomile tea can help with stomach health. “Chamomile has been used traditionally to treat stomach cramps, irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), indigestion, diarrhea, gas, and colic. It helps relax muscle contractions, particularly in the smooth muscles that make up the intestines. But there are no good human studies on any of these conditions. One analysis of several studies found that a product with a combination of the herb iberis, peppermint, and chamomile helped relieve symptoms of indigestion.”

Canadian wellness influencer Maddie Lymburner would much rather dance than do traditional cardio—and she’s inviting her 2.1 million Instagram followers to join in. Lymburner, 28, shared a video of herself wearing black shorts and a matching sports bra, doing a dance workout on a mat in her living room. “Hands up if you’d rather dance in your living room than do a traditional cardio workout 🙋🏼‍♀️💃,” she captioned the post. Here’s how the trainer stays fit, focused, and unique in the wellness space.


1. HIIT Workouts

Lymburner frequently posts workouts on her social media, like this full-body HIIT workout. when you’re short on time and need something that packs a punch… you have to try this 🔥😮‍💨 New short & spicy full body HIIT is now live on @themadfitapp 📱12 mins of full body cardio (20 minutes including warm up & cool down) 👏🏼,” she captioned the post.

2. Food For Fuel

Lymburner now eats to fuel her body and her training instead of being restrictive and miserable. “I let go of the ‘strictness’ that surrounded my diet and started focusing on healthy, well balanced meals. I started developing a training routine that I ENJOYED, that I could do AT HOME, and yet was still balanced enough to bring the results I desired,” she captioned an Instagram post.

3. At-Home Workouts

Lymburner’s online workouts were hugely useful during the pandemic lockdowns. “When the pandemic hit, I had about 1.3 million subscribers on MadFit. Suddenly, gyms were closing, people were working out at home and my business was exploding,” she told Toronto Life. “Many people have limited equipment at home, so I’ve started posting more bodyweight-only workouts or workouts using light weights that people can swap out for items like canned food, water bottles or shampoo bottles. I’ve also started posting more upbeat dance workouts, like a ’90s dance workout.”

4. Five Minute Arms

Lymburner is a big fan of short, sweet, yet effective workouts that can be done anywhere. “Got 5 mins to spare at your desk today? Do this seated arm workout with me! 💪🏼 You could do this on your lunch break, or maybe even during a meeting if your camera is off 🤫 You can do this with light weights, water bottles, or no weight at all!” she captioned an Instagram post.

5. Justin Bieber Workouts

Lymburner put her name on the fitness map by creating workouts designed for specific hit songs. “One day in May 2019, I had an epiphany while working out in my living room: I decided to create workouts to specific songs,” she told Toronto Life. “Ten minutes later, the routine was done. I turned on my lights, turned on the camera and filmed my first song workout to “I Don’t Care” by Ed Sheeran and Justin Bieber. I don’t get paid for those videos—YouTube automatically detects the copyrighted music when I upload and flags it, then the artist or music label is notified and they get the ad revenue. But these videos give me a lot more exposure and more eyes on my channel.”

Kristin Holte is a highly successful fitness competitor known for her consistent performance in the CrossFit Games, where she has competed for seven consecutive years. In 2019, she achieved the title of second fittest in the competition and won a world championship, solidifying her reputation in the fitness world. In July, Holte shared a video on Instagram highlighting some of her favorite core exercises, such as sit-ups, bicycle crunches, and hollow holds, captioning it, “Core burner.” Holte’s dedication to fitness and her role as a mother drive her to maintain her strength and health. Here are some of the fitness habits she follows to stay in top shape.


1. She Does Sit-Ups

Holte is seen doing sit-ups in her Instagram video. The Cleveland Clinic states that the exercise has a lot of benefits. “Sit ups are great for tightening your core. They strengthen and tone your rectus abdominus, transverse abdominus and oblique abdominal muscles as well as your neck muscles. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends three sets of 8 to 12 repetitions three times per week.”

2. She Does Bicycles

Kristin Holte.2Kristin Holte/Instagram

Holte is seen doing bicycle crunches in her Instagram post. ACE Fitness states that the exercise is very beneficial. “The bicycle crunch is the top exercise for strengthening your rectus abdominis — the muscles in front of your abdomen — according to the American Council on Exercise (ACE), beating exercises like the captain's chair, crunches and the ab roller. Bicycle crunches also play a role in supporting your back during everyday activities like running, bending over and lifting.”

3. She Stretches

Holte shared some of her favorite stretches in this Instagram video. Stretching is very beneficial. Harvard Health states, “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible 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 unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”

4. She Runs

Holte is seen running on the treadmill in this Instagram video. Running is a great way to stay in shape. Valley Oaks states, “The positive impacts of a run extend beyond the finish line and into bedtime. Studies show that aerobic exercise such as running can significantly improve the quality of sleep, even for those suffering from insomnia. Running has also been linked to a reduction in daytime drowsiness, meaning you’ll have more energy for your day and less fatigue to fight through.”

5. She Wants To Be A Role Model

One of Holte’s biggest goals is to be a role model for others. Specifically, she wants to be one for her son. Holte talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Being a good role model is more important than ever after becoming a mother. I know he will be listening and he is already watching so I better keep it real because I want him to say this one day. ‘My mother was my role model before I even knew what that word was’.”

Kate Fedinand is sharing her vacation photos! The former TOWIE star’s latest drop of Instagram images includes some never-before-scene snaps of herself in a swimsuit lounging around with husband Rio Ferdinand. “Recap,” she captioned the series of images. How does the 30-year-old mother-of-one keep herself fit? Read on to see 8 of Kate Ferdinand’s top tips for staying 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. Find a Workout Buddy

Kate-FerdinandKateFerdinand/Instagram

Kate is all about the workout buddy system. Lucky for her, she has found a great one in her husband. During the pandemic the two even hosted workouts on their Ferdinand Fitness YouTube channel, revealing easy at-home workouts to stay in shape. "A study from Michigan State University’s Department of Kinesiology found that training with an exercise partner can increase the amount of time you work out. Researchers discovered that participants who biked against a simulated partner on a screen exercised twice as long than the participants who biked alone. A workout buddy is there to challenge and encourage you, but they can also make you work harder and longer than you normally would. This is because, as study author Brandon Irwin, Ph.D. says, '…you don’t want to be the "weak link,"'" says ACE Fitness.

2. Try Meal Delivery

Kate is a subscriber to HelloFresh. After welcoming her son, she started using the meal delivery service and maintains that it has been a game changer. “Dinner done, Courtesy of @hellofreshuk. We've been using Hello Fresh for the last few months and it has made our lives and meals so much easier, especially with a new baby!”

3. Find Outdoor Family Activities

Kate and her family maintain an active lifestyle, staying fit while having fun. One of their go-tos? Bike rides. “Fun morning cycling with the fam,” she captioned this snap.

4. Use a Rowing Machine

Kate is a big fan of indoor rowing workouts. She uses the Hydrow rowing machine in the comfort of her own home. “Action shot…” she captioned this Instagram photo of one of her workouts. Why is so great about rowing? It works almost every muscle in the body and is easy on the joints. And, with the help of a rowing machine that provides workouts, you can get a great cardio workout in with strength training exercises as well.

5. Exercise for Your Mind

Kate works out for mental health benefits. “I’m a lot more relaxed than people think,” she explained to The Daily Star about her workout approach. “Everyone thinks I’m this regimented person who has to go to the gym at 4am every day but I’m not. I love working out, I love feeling active and it’s really good for my mind, but I also have a day off and I don’t beat myself up about it. I don’t cry if I don’t do it.”

6. Do HIIT Workouts

Kate’s go-to workout method is HIIT. “I work out four or five times a week, doing a mixture of ­high-intensity interval training and weights ­depending on how I am feeling. I do squats and lunges and I feel my bum is getting there – it’s a work in progress,” she revealed to The Daily Star.

7. She Does 500 Ab Exercises Per Week

Kate does a lot of ab work. “At the end of every workout, I do an ab ­finisher, which has five ab exercises – 20 of each so 100 in total. I think the best one is the bicycle crunch, which is good for the ­obliques on the side of your body,” she told The Daily Star.

8. Do This Ab Workout

Kate recently demonstrated her exact ab workout in an Instagram video. Most of the moves of her “Ab Blast” series involved using a small medicine ball. “Aim for 20 reps each exercise & repeat. If that’s too much take it down to 10 or 15,” she suggested. “Let me know how you get on.”

Grace Abdin is a fitness expert and influencer. She is best known for creating Pilates workouts, and posting them on Instagram. Abdin recently shared an ab workout on her page. In it, she is seen doing things like oblique twists and rope climbs. Abdin captioned the post, “Abs and obliques on fire. 💥💥💥🤍 You can modify by keeping your hands in the floor for balance. 🤍 Do a forceful exhale on every exertion, each rep. 🤍 10-15 reps of each move. 🤍 1-2 rounds if you're pairing it with yesterday's arm exercises. 3-4 rounds if this is your full workout today.”

She Does Pilates

Pilates is the main thing that keeps Abdin in shape. According to Better Health, it has a lot of health benefits. “The health benefits of Pilates include: improved flexibility, increased muscle strength and tone, particularly of your abdominal muscles, lower back, hips and buttocks (the ‘core muscles’ of your body), balanced muscular strength on both sides of your body, enhanced muscular control of your back and limbs, improved stabilisation of your spine, improved posture.”

She Works Her Abs

Grace Albin works her abs with the tuck and release movement.

In her Instagram post, Abdin is seen doing a lot of core workouts. According to Harvard Health, having strong core muscles is extremely important. “Whether you're hitting a tennis ball or mopping the floor, the necessary motions either originate in your core, or move through it. No matter where motion starts, it ripples upward and downward to adjoining links of the chain. Thus, weak or inflexible core muscles can impair how well your arms and legs function. And that saps power from many of the moves you make. Properly building up your core cranks up the power. A strong core also enhances balance and stability. Thus, it can help prevent falls and injuries during sports or other activities. In fact, a strong, flexible core underpins almost everything you do.”

She Uses an Exercise Ball

Abdin likes to use an exercise ball to workout. She shared this post on Instagram of herself doing lower body exercises with one. In it, Abdin is seen doing things like calf raises, toe taps, and hip lifts with the ball. She captioned the post, “Glutes, hamstrings, thighs, and calves! 🦵🦵 🤍 Your stability ball should be firm and bouncy, neither under nor overinflated. It should give slightly when you sit on it. 🤍 Go slowly and controlled, that is more effective than rushing through the movements. 🤍 Do each move 10-5 reps. 🤍 1-2 rounds if you're pairing this with yesterday's core routine. 3-4 rounds if this is your full workout today.”

She Uses Weights

Abdin also likes to use weights to workout. She shared some of her favorite dumbbell exercises in this Instagram post. Abdin is seen doing things like reach-over crunches and straight-leg situps with them. She captioned the post, “Spicy moves for core, obliques, and back muscles. If you don't have a dumbbell, improvise with a soup can or water bottle. Do each move 10-15 reps. Go 2-4 rounds.”

She Uses Resistance Bands

Abdin shared this post on Instagram of herself using a resistance band to workout. She is seen doing exercises like hamstring curls, straight leg pulses, and squat walks. Abdin captioned the post, “Seven moves. Use the thickest resistance band you can, while still maintaining good form. You can always switch to a lighter band on your second or third round if the stronger band exhausts your muscles after the first round. 🤍 Do each move 10-15 reps on each side. 🤍 Stretch at least one minute. 🤍 Repeat for 3-5 rounds.”

Torrie Wilson is working out her lower body. In a new workout video the model and WWE alum shows off her amazing body while revealing a simple lower body workout that can be done at home. “Sometimes it’s the simplicity that brings the consistency,” she wrote in the caption. Here is everything you need to know about her workout and all her other fitness and diet habits.


1. Here Is What She Eats in a Day

Glass,Of,Fresh,Celery,Juice,On,White,Table,,CloseupShutterstock

Torrie broke her daily diet down to Muscle & Health.

7:00 am: Fresh pressed celery juice, 20oz

7:30 am: Coffee with Pruvit keto kreme and 1 scoop vital proteins collagen creamer + 1 tsp raw manuka honey

9:30 am: Avocado toast, 1 slide Dave’s bread “white done right” with 2 eggs (or scrambled vegan eggs, depending on mood) + arugula with balsamic vinegar

10:30 am: Pre-workout Pruvit keto nat drink (ketones)

10:45 am: Workout

12:15pm: Post-workout 1 apple +. 2 tbsps Justin’s almond butter

3:00 pm: 2 chicken tacos: 2 flour tortillas, organic chicken, beans, olives, avocado, lettuce, onions, tomatoes

5:00 pm: Snack: 2 handfuls vegan black bean chips + homemade green juice (celery, spinach, kale, lemon, beet)

7:00 pm: Halibut with ginger soy sauce, potato with plant-based butter, broccoli (raw and usually eaten while cooking)

9:00 pm: Coconut milk ice cream bar.

2. Daily Workouts

Torrie works out daily and offers a six-week program to help women reach their fitness goals. “It’s pretty immersive, I do a video every day, so participants feel like it’s more intimate,” she said. “I wouldn’t say it takes a lot of work to build muscle.” She also has a no pain, no gain mentality. “I know if I’m going to do something like weighted glute raises or deadlifts, it will hurt for a few days, but it also hurts when I don’t do anything, so I choose which hurt I want.”

3. 80/20 Rule

Torrie abides by the 80/20 rule. “I go for the 80% rule of healthy. I’m now more focused on eating whole, natural foods that have a lot of nutrients to help me feel good from the inside out. I’m anti-strict eating because of competing and being anorexic,” she said.

4. Exercise Over Diet

“If I had to choose between exercise and diet, the exercise would be my number one. You can have a little more leeway with your diet by having muscle. When it comes to being lean, that’s always been my motto,” she said.

5. Sleep

Cute,Blonde,In,Her,Bed,In,Blue,Pajamas,And,SleepShutterstock

Torrie’s secret to longevity is “exercise, getting enough sleep and probably not having kids,” she said. “I’m not afraid of Botox and skin peels. People might say that’s self-absorbed, but it makes me feel better, like having hair extensions and not being pasty white. Those are the little tweaks that make me feel better mentally. The world sometimes sends mixed messages, like there’s a fine line between being too overly self-absorbed, but I think I have a good balance.”

6. Here Is Her Lower Body Burnout Workout

Today’s quick lower body burnout – body weight only,” she wrote in the video. “This is not a workout I would do at a public gym but it’s PERFECT for a burnout at home. Sometimes we overcomplicate it all and get stuck doing nothing. Today’s not that day over here yo.” She does side lunges, “slow like a turtle,” followed by “pause then power” lunges into a jump. Next up, one leg sumo squats, and then an exercise for hip flexors.

Grace Charis is more than just a golf influencer—she’s a powerhouse on and off the course. Known for blending her love of the sport with a lifestyle that keeps her fit and fabulous, Charis recently shared a video on Instagram, inviting followers to “Come play this par 3 with me!” Decked out in a sleek white visor, matching skirt, and light pink top, she showcased not just her swing but her toned physique. So, how does she stay in such great shape? From perfecting her golf game to hitting the gym, here are the five fitness habits that keep Grace Charis on top of her game.

She Golfs

Golf is the main way Charis keeps herself in shape. Better Health states that the sport has a lot of benefits. “Golf provides a stimulating mental challenge combined with a healthy walk in pleasant surroundings and can be played by people of all abilities and ages. Golf can be played on your own or in a team. It may be a casual pastime or a competitive activity. Golf can be good for your health and your heart. Walking an average course for a round of golf can be between five to seven kilometres. If you walk 18 holes three to five times a week, you’ll get an optimal amount of endurance exercise for your heart. If you pull your clubs or carry them, you’ll burn even more calories each round and benefit even more.”

She Swims

Charis likes to swim to keep herself in shape. She shared these photos and videos on Instagram of herself snorkeling in Japan. The Cleveland Clinic says that swimming has a lot of health benefits, including building your muscles. “The built-in resistance that water provides helps build muscles and makes you stronger. And because water is more resistant than air, swimming does this faster than land workouts like running and biking.”

She Lifts Weights

Charis shared some of her favorite workouts in this TikTok. In it, she is seen doing a lot of workouts with weights. According to ACE Fitness, 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 Does Glutes Bridges

Charis is also seen doing glute bridges in her TikTok. NASM states that this exercise has a lot of benefits. “Glute bridges are a useful exercise for building core stability, building glute strength, and improving overall exercise form and function. When performed as a stabilization exercise, glute bridges activate the glutes to function as they are supposed to in other movements like squats, deadlifts, walking, and running. Adding weight progresses glute bridges into a strength exercise, which can build strength in the glute muscles. By increasing glute activation and strengthening the glutes, not only will your form get better in other exercises, but you might also gain the added benefit of reduced low back pain in your everyday life.”

She Does Lunges

Charis is also seen doing lunges with weights in her TikTok. Lunges are very beneficial. The Mayo Clinic reports, “The lunge is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles. Specifically, the lunge targets the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles in the thigh, the gluteal muscles in the buttock, and to a lesser extent, the lower leg muscles. The lunge is a great conditioning exercise for many sports, especially those that involve lunging movements, such as tennis, basketball or soccer.”

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 Does Pilates

Tedeschi likes to do Pilates to keep herself in shape. She shares a lot of videos in her Instagram story highlight of herself using a reformer. Better Health reports, “The health benefits of Pilates include: improved flexibility, increased muscle strength and tone, particularly of your abdominal muscles, lower back, hips and buttocks (the ‘core muscles’ of your body), balanced muscular strength on both sides of your body, enhanced muscular control of your back and limbs, improved stabilisation of your spine.”

She Does Burpees

Tedeschi likes to do burpees to keep herself in shape. She shared this video in her Instagram story highlight of herself doing them. The Cleveland Clinic says that burpees have a lot of benefits. “From an aerobic standpoint, burpees put your ticker to the test. The exercise offers the breath-stealing effect of running in a very condensed timeframe.”

She Does Deadlifts

Tedeschi is seen doing deadlifts with a weight in this Instagram story. Deadlifts are very beneficial. ACE Fitness says, “The most important benefit of the RDL is that it teaches the proper movement and biomechanics of standing hip flexion and extension. This is the foundational movement for squatting, whether the movement is performed with a weight in the gym or while bending over to pick an object up from the floor.”

Rachel Platten is a very successful singer. She is known for songs like “Fight Song” and “Stand By You.” Recently, Platten announced on Instagram that she will be going on tour this year. She captioned a post, “I cannot wait to see your faces and hug you and cry together and feel our feelings and connect and saaaang!! Tickets go on sale this Monday. But if you’re signed up for my email list then you’ll get an email giving you early access TODAY. See you soon my friends.”

She Opened Up About Her Struggles

After having her first child, Platten opened up about her struggles on Instagram. She tells TODAY that she received a lot of support from others after doing this. "I get flooded with comments from other women and men saying that it's OK, and I'm not alone, I'm not doing a bad job," she said. “It's making me feel not isolated. I could have gone down a road of this being a much darker experience had I not learned early on to be vulnerable and vocalize what I'm going through. That's been a really big life raft for me.”

She’s Comfortable With Her Weight

On her Instagram, Platten revealed that she is not putting pressure on herself to lose pregnancy weight, as she is comfortable with herself. “I am not less worthy of love just because I can’t seem to lose those last 5 or 10 pounds of ‘baby weight.’ I’ve tried it ALL and my body is begging for my acceptance. I am stronger than ever, I am so healthy, I can dance and lift weight and carry my girls and move and live a full beautiful life and am honestly sick of trying to keep shrinking myself back to pre-baby weight. F— it.”

She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Platten shared some of her skincare secrets with Health Insight. “I apply face masks regularly — twice a week or more — and often go to sleep with a thin layer of a hydrating mask instead of a moisturizer. I also have a five-step routine (cleansing, toning, using a serum, moisturizing, and using sunscreen) that I do every morning and night no matter what. It’s a form of meditation for me and reminds me that even when I’m crazy busy there’s always time to breathe and love on myself a little.”

She’s Consistent With Wellness

Platten makes sure to stay consistent with her wellness routine. She shared her secrets with Health Insight. “In addition to my daily routine, I get regular facials (or give myself mini facials when I don’t have time), drink a crazy amount of water, eat healthy foods, and wear hats almost every time I’m in the sun. As cheesy as it might sound, I really do love taking care of my skin and I put a lot of effort into maintaining it.”

She Gives Back

Platten is a big believer in giving back to others. “I think we can remember how powerful we are by giving — giving compliments, our time to charities, and random acts of kindness,” she told Health Insight. “We can feel sad and powerless when we only focus on what we don’t have or don’t want, but we can easily shift this by switching that focus to what we have to offer! In my opinion, nothing is more beautiful or attractive than a woman who knows her worth and power.”
