Io Shirai or Iyo Sky, is an extremely successful wrestler. She is a part of the WWE’s SmackDown brand. Shirai is a two-time Tag Team Champion, Women’s Champion, and Money In The Bank contract holder. WWE shared a video of Shirai in the ring on Instagram. They captioned it, “There’s no stopping #DamageCTRL.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Io Shirai stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Wrestles

Wrestling is the main way Shirai stays in shape, and the sport has a lot of benefits. CarmelUSAWrestling.org states, “Wrestling demands a significant degree of focus and discipline, both physically and psychologically. It's a sport that requires your undivided concentration and requires you to push through obstacles in order to emerge victorious. This disciplined and focus mindset developed on the mat transitions into regular life, making you more productive and effective in other areas of your life.”

2. She Goes Outside

Shirai spends a lot of time outside. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself in Lake Tahoe. According to UC Davis Health, going outside has a lot of benefits. “Being outdoors can also have relaxing effects on our minds. Nature can provide a mental break by allowing us to temporarily escape the demands of everyday life. It can also boost your creativity and problem-solving abilities. For example, if you're having a mental block writing a paper or can't seem to solve a problem at work, step outside for a breath of fresh air. Take an easy walk around your neighborhood or office, and you just might find the answers you were looking for.”

3. She’s Motivated

Shirai is extremely motivated. She shared what motivates her in an interview with Sports Illustrated. “Everything I do is for our passionate fans. They motivate me to be the best performer I can be, and I always want to give them the best match possible when I am in the ring. It is more than just wins or losses for me. I always want to find ways to entertain and excite them whenever I am competing so they can leave with a memory that lasts a lifetime.

4. She Pushed Herself

Shirai is all about pushing herself. She told Sports Illustrated that this was why she came to America to wrestle. “A few years ago, many people started saying I was one of the best wrestlers in the world. I was competing in Japan and had received every award and accolade possible for a female in the industry. That was when I really started thinking about competing and proving myself on WWE’s global stage, which is the biggest in our profession.

5. She Feeds Off Of Her Partner

Shirai feeds off of other wrestlers, like Rhea Ripley. “The great thing about Rhea is that our in-ring styles are so different that it almost feels like a chemical reaction every time we get in the ring together,” she told Sports Illustrated. “She raises my game and is able to push me to limits I did not know I was capable of. I am excited to think about all the possibilities when we face off this Sunday.”

Janette Manrara is getting an at home workout in in her workout gear. In a new social media post the Strictly Come Dancing star shows off her amazing figure during a sweat session in the comfort of her own home. “Happy Tuesday everyone. Keep moving,” she writes in the caption of the Instagram video. “It’s been tough for me getting a routine in w/ the gym being on my own w/ Lyra while still working. I get a session here and there, but w/ no consistency. I miss moving, I miss stretching. I have noticed my energy has dropped, and I have felt more anxious as well. So today I decided no gym needed, just need some quiet and a simple session just to feel better. I set the alarm before Lyra got up, and although waking up was painful, I feel SO MUCH better for doing so.” How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Pilates-Based Workouts

In her new workout video, Janette does a Pilates inspired workout. “These are all Pilates based movements for core and upper body strength, w/ lots of breathing and a good long stretch at the end. Quick work out, but a nice one. I used the @sweat app and put in that I had no gym equipment so I can do it from the comfort of my own living room,” she writes.

Exercise for Mental Health

Janette works out for her mental health. “It’s hard when we all have so much to juggle to think about the affects movement can have not just on our body, but our mental health. We ALL have easier days than others, but moving and doing something for yourself is ALWAYS going to be a good idea. The alarm hurt, but I am so grateful that I did,” she adds in the post.

Strength Training

Janette is really “into weight training,” she told Independent. “I’m doing a bit of running, and I like to be at home and just do 25 minutes of body exercises, just here with my yoga mat, as much as I can. That’s helped me maintain a healthy lifestyle and keep an eye on my weight, because I did feel the difference, in my muscles especially, when I stopped Strictly.”

Personalized Approach to “Wellbeing”

Janette approaches health in a personalized manner. “Wellbeing is everything. It’s about finding a way to be physically active and mentally stimulated and happy. There are so many different ways we can look after our mind and our body and put that into one,” Manrara told The Independent. “There’s no one solution for anyone – I learned that through my wellbeing courses. It’s about finding that balance that’s right for you, not trying fit an image, profile or a certain type. We all come in different shapes and sizes, and finding what works for you is what I think wellbeing is all about – what makes you ultimately happy and feel good.”

Small Portions and a Balanced Approach to Diet

“I wouldn’t say I eat healthily, but I think I’m very balanced with my food. If I’ve been very good in the day, I allow myself a little treat in the evening, or if I’ve been naughty in the day then I try to eat not too bad later. I also watch my portions – I don’t have big portions of anything,” Janette said about her diet. “But I’m not a crazy fiend about eating super-healthy, I just try and keep my plate balanced, with a little bit of salad, a little bit of veggies, some protein and some carbs, and if I want a little treat afterwards, then a piece of chocolate or anything like that,” she added to Independent. She also loves pizza and burgers. “I don’t think it’s about cutting things out completely, it’s just about balancing it out, and watching what you put into your body.”

Rhea Ripley is showing off her guns – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the WWE fighter flexes while wearing a sports bra and sweats, her washboard abs on display. “you’re unreal,” commented one of her followers. “🔥🔥🔥,” added Carmella. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

She Does Her Best

While training for WrestleMania, Rhea gives it her all. “When it comes to Mania season, it's an 'I'm trying my best' approach. There's less time to go to the gym with all the media and shows, and a lot of travelling, especially being on Raw and SmackDown at the moment,” she told GQ.

Self-Care and Rest

Rhea stresses the importance of self-care and rest. “It's a very intense job and environment. It can be quite stressful, because there are a lot of things that are needed from you; a lot of things that people don't understand we do and go through,” she told GQ. “It's important to have those moments of free time when you can turn your brain off, whether it's at the gym, watching a movie, or just spending time with friends and family – anything you can do to put yourself at ease and make yourself feel like a normal human for a couple of hours!”

Hydration

Drinking water is also a priority. “I definitely need to drink more water. It's something I need to get better at, but I'm trying!” she says. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

Meal Prep

Rhea controls her diet with a meal delivery service. “I get meals sent to me every Sunday by a meal-prep company with the macros I want. I definitely don't eat as much as I should – I don't know how I have as much muscle as I do, because sometimes I don't eat. I did legs the other day, burnt 2,500 active calories, and I only ate 8-900 calories that day,” she says. “I definitely fluctuate with my eating habits. It's not good, especially in the profession that I'm in. I need to be eating more just to save my body, but sometimes you're just so busy that you don't.”

Strength Training and Cardio

“Normally, when I go to the gym, I do 20 minutes of cardio, then lift weights for two and a half, sometimes three hours – it really depends on what I want to do. It's my happy place, so I like to spend time there – it's the one place I get to turn my brain off. At the moment, I still get in to do cardio and I'm weight training at least six days a week, but today I only did back [training] for an hour. It definitely isn't my preference, but you just have to go in and hustle, because when it comes to WrestleMania, you want to be as fit and look as good as you can,” she told GQ. “For me, it's about staying ready, so then if you need to maintain for a day or two, you can. At the end of the day, you will have a day off where you can just go completely ham.”

WWE's Kairi Sane in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Workout" Photo

As a professional wrestler, fitness is naturally a major part of her life and career.

Kairi Sane captioned her gym photo series, “#workout 🔥” as she hits it hard in the gym. The Japanese professional wrestler and actress has made her name known for her performances in the WWE. As a professional wrestler, working out is obviously a huge part of her life, and her career. What exactly does she do to stay so fit and healthy, maintaining her level as a fierce competitor and a member of Damage CTRL? Here are some of Kairi’s go to habits.


1. She fights through the nerves

She works through those nervous feelings and pushes herself. “Yes, I was nervous,” she said while talking to Muscle & Fitness Hers about her MYC win, the NXT Championship match, leaving Japan to pursue the WWE, and more, specifically referring to the finals against Shayna Baszler. “I would say half nervous, half excited. But I would also say many of the athletes I encountered were also very strong. At the end, I was proud of myself to be one of the finalists, and then I had to believe in myself, and I did my best,” she said.

2. She’s confident

She’s confident in her decisions with the WWE. “It’s been about six years since I started this, and more recently I had an opportunity to go overseas,” she said. “I observed that even with the language barriers, people, the audience, they are happy to watch me perform and then they cry for me sometimes. That made me feel, “Well going overseas is great!” I actually enjoy it very much. Also, WWE is an organization that has a lot of athletes I respect. I had been always watching WWE tournaments when I lived in Japan.” According to the Cleveland Clinic, “self-image change occurs over a lifetime. A healthy self-image starts with learning to accept and love ourselves.”

3. She has a past with sailing

She has done other activities in the past to stay fit, including sailing. “When I was a university student, I won a sailing competition and participated in the World Championships as a representative of Japan. That's why I was given the nickname "Pirate Princess."⛵️The photo shows the sea in Bulgaria,” she said on Instagram, captioned on a blurry photo of her sailing.

4. She does burpees

She shares workouts on Instagram of her doing strength training, conditioning, and plenty of burpees. According to the Cleveland Clinic, “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.”

5. She trains and trusts the coaches

She trusts her team and that their decisions and guidance will lead to her improving. “I went to the WWE performance center to train there, and there’s the ring training and the gym training separately,” she said. “The coaches there are wonderful. I respect them so much and I completely trust them. They even give advice on what I eat and my diet, so I believe that the training I’m getting here is even better than what I was getting in Japan.”

For Hewitt, fitness is all about variety. “I try to switch it up a bit,” she told OK! Magazine. “I’ve found that if every week I do something different it tricks my muscles into not getting used to doing any one thing. I’ve been doing pilates, I’ve been doing yoga, I’ve done just plain old walking. I wear 10 pound weights on my ankles while I’m working just so that as I’m moving during the day I’m constantly building muscle. It’s not great for your back but I’m doing it anyway. I do a booty workout thing that I just did for Shape, which was really fun. And I do Zumba. I have DVDs and I dance around like a crazy person in my house.”

She Builds Confidence

Hewitt tells People that she wants to build her confidence up. “I think I’m a work in progress,” she admits. “[But] I feel it’s so much better than [it was] a year-and-a-half ago, and I feel like in another eight months, it’s going to be so much better than it is today.”

She Wants to be a Role Model

Over the past few years, Sydney Sweeney has become one of America’s sweethearts with celebrated roles in everything from hit HBO shows Euphoria and White Lotus to big-screen movies Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Anyone But You. In addition to her impressive acting ability, the star is a total bombshell and has one of the fittest figures in Hollywood. Here are the top 5 habits that help her stay fit at 27.

Water Skiing

Sydney has been water skiing since she was a toddler. “The moment I could walk, my mom put me on what’s called a U-board to learn how to ski,” she told Women’s Health. “I remember that whenever we would go by the docks of my grandma’s or my cousin’s house, I’d wave. I felt so cool because I could take off one hand. That’s my earliest memory of skiing, but I’ve been doing it as long as I can remember. It’s my favorite.” How does it help her achieve her amazing body? “It’s a lot of upper body strength, it’s balance, it’s core, it’s legs—you get tired really fast,” she says. “I see such a change in my body after an entire summer of [skiing]. My arms are stronger, more sculpted. My abs are rock solid. But I never look at it as a workout because it is so much fun,” she said.

Morning Workouts

Sydney mixes up her exercise routine, but likes to get workouts over with early in the day. “I like to work out in the morning, so I’ll either go for a run or I’ll go to Solidcore,” says Sydney. The high-intensity, low-impact Pilates-inspired workout “makes me feel so strong, but also elongated,” Sydney said about her sweat sessions. “I feel so good afterwards.”

Self-Care

Sydney engages in self-care activities. “I love to paint, and I love to read,” she said. “Those are the activities that are just for me.” One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years than those who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

She Walks and Hikes

One of the ways she treats her anxiety is by spending time outdoors with her dog, Tank. She takes him on walks or hikes. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, 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 reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Mariana Morais is showing off her ab-fab figure – in a two-piece exercise set. In a new social media post, the fitness influencer flaunts her fantastic figure in a brown sports bra and leggings. “Self Progress & Development is not always linear. Sometimes we take steps back & that’s just a sign to course correct so we can leap forward. If 2024 wasn’t the year you expected, use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, & carry on. It’s you VS you - continue to try, focus on consistency > perfection & you will prevail 🤎 rooting for us all to strengthen our mind & bodies this year,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Strength Training

Mariana relies on old-school strength training to keep her body toned. “Training till failure instead of reps + taking my ab routine up a notch by incorporating weighted exercises,” she wrote about one of her workout tactics. “I can feel my muscles being challenged and am in tune with my movements.” According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

  • Develop strong bones
  • Manage your weight
  • Enhance your quality of life
  • Manage chronic conditions
  • Sharpen your thinking skills

Prioritizing Digestion and Getting Blood Work Done

Other healthy habits? “Prioritizing digestion,” she writes in the same post. “Making sure I get enough fiber & starting off every morning with a juice cleanse. This has helped me feel so much better everyday.” She also gets regular blood work done. “So important to check your levels and know what’s going on in your body routinely! Don’t skip the doc apts, always better to be preventative.”

Hiking

Mariana enjoys hiking. “Elevation therapy,” she captioned a post from one of her fitness adventures. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health
  • Decreasing the risk of some respiratory issues

Pilates

Mariana does reformer Pilates. “POV: Stepping into the prettiest torture chamber,” she wrote across a video of herself at the studio. Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Emsculpt NEO

Mariana recently got an aesthetic body treatment, Emsculpt NEO. “I’ve heard all the rage about the benefits to spot reducing fat & toning muscle so I had to give it a try to target those pesky lower abs. It was a 10/10 & a great addition to my workout routine,” she wrote.
