She Works Hard

Bell makes sure to work hard when she’s hitting the gym. She talks about this in several of her Instagram post’s captions. Bell captioned this workout video, “Always working, rarely posting. 💪

Because I don’t have to prove anything to anyone. The results speak for themselves. Stay focused, stay consistent, and let the work show in time. Conditioning won’t be a problem when the time comes 💪🏾”

She Builds Confidence

When Bell works out, she uses it as an opportunity to build her confidence. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “What is fitness to me? Fitness is more than just looking good—it’s about feeling strong, empowered, and confident in your body. It’s the energy to tackle your day, the discipline to push through challenges, and the balance that keeps your mind and body in harmony. Fitness is a lifestyle, a mindset, and a journey.”

She Lifts Weights

Bell is seen lifting weights in the previous Instagram video. Lifting weights has a lot of health benefits. ACE Fitness states, “Lifting heavy weights increases production of the hormone IGF-1. This hormone is related to the production of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF), which is a neurotransmitter responsible for stimulating the growth of new neural pathways in the brain along with enhancing communication between existing pathways. In short, lifting heavy could make you smarter by enhancing cognitive function.”

She Hikes

Bell likes to hike to keep herself in shape. She shared these highlights on Instagram of herself and some friends on a hike. Bell captioned the post, “LA feels like home. I love being active with my friends! Gang Gang! I miss yall!” Piedmont reports that hiking has a lot of benefits. “Going up and down hills gets the heart pumping, creating a great cardio workout. Like most cardio exercises, hiking helps reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and even some cancers.”

She Uses A Foam Roller

Bell likes to use a foam roller to help with her recovery from workouts. She shared some of her favorite motions in this Instagram video. Bell captioned the post, “The Benefits of Foam Rolling + A Game-Changing Upgrade! Foam rolling isn’t just a fitness trend it is a powerful tool for recovery and performance. Here’s why you should make it a part of your routine: ✨ Improves Circulation: Enhances blood flow, delivering nutrients and oxygen to your muscles. ✨ Releases Tension: Targets and relieves tight knots and trigger points. ✨ Boosts Recovery: Reduces soreness after workouts, helping you bounce back faster. ✨ Increases Flexibility: Prepares your muscles for optimal performance during workouts.”
