Dana Shemesh is a former professional bodybuilder in the IFBB. She is currently a fitness trainer. Shemesh recently shared a video on Instagram of herself doing pull-ups. She captioned it, “#mondaymotivation When you feel that Christmas is coming… NO LIFT, NO GIFT! 💪🎅🏻🎉🎁Happy Holidays my friends enjoy and don’t forget to burn the calories that you eat lol 😜😅The best gift you can give yourself and your loved ones is a personal training package with me! Exercise is the best medicine for your body and mind. Make it a lifestyle and prioritize your health, because you have one body, one life, one chance! So do it the best you can, because you deserve it! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays y’all ❤️☃️❄️🎊🎄”


She Does Pull-Ups

In her Instagram video, Shemesh is seen doing pull-ups. Asphalt Green states that pull-ups have a lot of benefits. “Pull-ups are a fantastic way to improve upper-body strength. This exercise primarily targets your back and biceps, but involves many stabilizing muscles in your core, arms, and shoulders. Depending on the way you grip the bar, you can even work your chest. Plus, you don’t need any fancy equipment to do a pull-up. Tree branches, scaffolding, and even door frames are all places people can do pull-ups.”

She's Consistent

Shemesh makes sure to stay consistent with fitness. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram video. “After retiring from competitive bodybuilding my goal is to stay strong and healthy and maintain the muscle mass I've gained over 20 years of weightlifting 🏋🏻♂️ Well, this job is a lot harder than it looks. That's why I have a tip for you, if you are over 40 and still don't lift weights then start today and don't stop building your muscle and strength, so that you can improve the quality of your life now and in the future, because muscles are the best anti-aging!! 🤓☝️”

She Does Squats

Shemesh is seen doing squats in this Instagram video. She captioned it, “My Maximum PR in #squats 🏋🏻♂️🔥It was in 2020 I squats 335Lbs / 153Kg for 8Reps I remember it was Covid time all the gyms were closed but not us. I was on my prep to Tampa Pro I felt stronger than ever, even though I was sick on my prep. I guess when the mind is strong the body follow and you can achieve anything you want! 💪🎯 Thanks to @richmas4896 from @ampdup_training for your support!”

She Weight Trains

Weight training is the main way Shemesh stays in shape. She shared this video of herself doing dual pulley rows and squats with dumbbells. Shemesh captioned it, “The only thing that can save your life is your muscles! Weight training is the best anti-aging! 💪🤓 #fitover45 The more muscles, the better metabolism and stronger bones! If you are over 40 and still not lifting weights? You should start today and never stop!!! The sooner the better!! Make it as a lifestyle it’s the best health insurance now and in your future! You have only one body, one chance, one life. Make it the best you can, because you deserve it!! ❤️ You can improve your body and your health at any age just never give up!”

She Runs

Shemesh likes to run to keep herself in shape. She shared this post on Instagram of herself after running a marathon. Shemesh captioned the post, “And #bicepsflex💪 🎉 with my new medal 🏅 after running 5K yesterday at the @themiamimarathon #5ktropicalmiami #miamifamous and meeting all the runners that run marathon and half marathon today!
