In the other half, she wore a blue dress. She captioned the post, “These pictures were taken yesterday. 5am Club vs Dinner Date.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Jaclyn Cordeiro stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She’s Consistent

Cordeiro makes sure to be consistent with her workouts. She talked about the importance of this in the caption of the Instagram post. “CONSISTENCY+DISCIPLINE+HARD WORK=CONFIDENCE in all areas of your life. Make the time to INVEST in yourself everyday.” The Mayo Clinic states that being consistent with fitness is very important. “Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if you can't find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none. To gain the benefits of exercise, just get more active throughout your day. For example, take the stairs instead of the elevator or rev up your household chores. Consistency is key.”

2. She Wears Ankle Weights

Cordeiro likes to go through her day wearing ankle weights. She shared this video on Instagram of herself going through her day with them on. Cordeiro explained the benefits and why she wears them in the caption. “Why ankle weights? Sculpt/Contour. Burn Calories Faster. Better Breathing. Improved Stamina. Strengthened Bones and Muscles. Stronger Core Muscles. Ankle Weights Offer Versatility.”

3. She Does Core Workouts

Cordeiro has an amazing core, as you can see in the Instagram post. Naturally, she does a lot of core workouts. She shared some of her favorites in this Instagram video of herself and Rodriguez doing core workouts. In it, she and Rodriguez are seen doing starfish crunches, reverse crunches, and planks. Cordeiro captioned the post, “Summer core challenge 🇨🇦Grab a partner, select one of your favourite songs. Aim to complete this in 20 mins. Perform a circuit comprised of 3 different abs exercises (targeting upper, lower rectus and obliques) each exercise for 2 minutes everyday. Stretch post circuit for at least 2 mins, remember ABS are made in the kitchen and cooked in the gym;).”

4. She Works Out With Someone Else

As you can see from the previous post, Cordeiro sometimes likes to workout with someone else. This has a lot of benefits. Better Health states, “Exercising with a friend or loved one can make it more fun, and increase your chances of sticking to your exercise plan. Exercising with a friend is a great way to keep you motivated. It’s also a great way to meet new people. It can even save you money. Exercise with someone around the same fitness level as you so you can spur each other on.”

5. She Uses Landmines

Cordeiro likes to do workouts with landmines. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing squats and lifts with them. She captioned the post, “Landmines exercises are a form of weight training that can level up your fitness game in more than one way, especially when your short on time. These versatile exercises demand full body engagement, increase lean muscle tissue, improve strength and sculpt those hard to reach accessory muscles ie intercostal. Landmine training allows you to maintain correct body posture, alignment and improve balance.”

Jaclyn Cordeiro is celebrating her birthday with a little self-love. In a new social media post, A Rod’s fitness trainer girlfriend shows off her fitter-than-ever figure in a tight workout top and leggings while sharing an inspiring message with her followers. “Give Yourself Love If You’re Handling A Situation Better Than Your Old Self Would Have. #betterthanyesterday #bdaygirl #progressnotperfection #44today,” she captioned the Instagram post. “❤❤❤” commented her boyfriend. “You are goals!!! 🔥👏seriously! My role model! Happy birthday!” added another follower. How does the influencer manage to look half her age? Here is everything you need to know about her health habits.

1. Exercise Is Her Life

Jaclyn “ventured into the world of weight lifting,” when she was young. “I immediately fell in love,” Cordeiro told Oxygen. Lifting weights “helped her through the stress of nursing school and kept me focused on my life goals.” She has competed in multiple bodybuilding and bikini competitions before-during-and-after having her kids.

2. Fasted Cardio

Jaclyn is a morning workout girl. “I train my body with intention and focus on MIND-MUSCLE CONNECTION. I always perform early morning fasted cardio. I always go into my training with muscle groups in mind but use various methods; HIIT, Tabata, FBW, isolation, TUT and listen to what my body is telling me to do (an intuitive approach),” she told Status Fitness Magazine.

3. Supplements

Jaclyn explains that she is “very mindful” of what she puts into her body. “My stack includes Energy and Burner (fasted cardio), Superfoods Greens, CLA, Multivitamin, Vitamin D, Calcium, and Vitamin C daily,” she told Status Fitness.

4. Plant-Based Eating

Jaclyn follows a “plant-based” diet. “I transitioned from animal-based to plant-based about 6 years ago. I cannot express enough the benefits for my body both physically and the overall mental clarity and function. I am able to maintain a leaner physique, eliminate GI issues and my sense of connection to my body is insanely powerful,” she told Status Fitness. One of her go-to post workout snacks is “Tofu, sweet potatoes and roasted chickpeas with lots of hot sauce!” she added to Oxygen.

5. Workout Buddies

A Rod is Jaclyn’s boyfriend, client, and workout buddy. In September 2023, the slugger opened up about his “life changing” health journey, giving credit to his girlfriend for helping him lose 32 pounds. At the end of 2021, his family pointed out that him that he was looking unhealthy. “Not what you want to hear, but I knew I wasn’t my best self,” he said. “It all came down to me making some key changes in my habits: 1. More plants, less red meat 2. Intermittent fasting 3. Night walks. Small changes led to big results, and I’m feeling better than ever,” he continued. “Thank you @jac_lynfit for being my guide and support. You coached me up to stay dedicated, motivated and improve each day.” The two regularly share photos and videos of their couple’s workouts.

Katie Crewe is sharing a core workout – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post, the trainer shows off her amazing body in a belly-baring set. “How many months or years did you start working out postpartum? I’ve been thinking of sharing a week of 10 min and under daily workouts that are appropriate for postpartum. Drop me a ⭐️ if this would be helpful for you! If you can fit in 20 minutes, or 10 min twice a day, give this a go!” she captioned the Instagram video. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Focus on Building Strength

“My whole view on training and relationship with myself changed when I stopped trying to use my workouts as a way to get smaller and started trying to be more powerful. Your workouts shouldn’t be a way to punish yourself or to “earn” food. Your workout isn’t more successful because you burned the most calories possible. Lift weights to be stronger and more powerful, to feel more confident, and to make your everyday life easier. Lift weights so elderly you thanks you for the strong bones and increased capabilities. It’s a tough but extremely empowering mindset shift that I’m so grateful I made,” Katie wrote in a post.

2. Do a Warm Up Set

Katie recently shared “tips for when you’re short on time but don’t want to compromise on your workout.” One of them is not skipping workouts. “Last time I posted about warm-ups, a surprising number of people said that they do a dynamic warm-up but no warm-up sets (maybe it was only surprising to me). Let me know below what your warm-ups usually look like (please, for research :p),” she says. “If you’re short on time I’d still recommend doing some warm-up sets. I cut down on some of my dynamic warm-up but not much on my warm-up sets because I really need these to acclimate to the weight and feel prepared.”

3. Agonist-Antagonist Paired Sets

She also recommends agonist-antagonist paired sets. “This is the one I will use most frequently when trying to save time. Pairing opposite muscle groups (e.g. hamstring curls and quad extensions) allows one to rest while you’re performing the other exercise. I still usually rest in between but 30 sec-1 min vs 90 sec-2 min. As long as you’re not still puffing from your last set, your strength shouldn’t be compromised,” she wrote.

4. Always Do Something

“The most important tip is that going and doing something, even if it’s 1/3 of what you planned for, is still benefiting you. You still moved your body, it helped you maintain the habit, and it helps get you out of an ‘all or nothing’ mentality when it comes to working out – which can really work against you in the long run,” she added.

5. Her Core Workout

Here is Katie’s full core workout:

🔺360 degree breathing - 2 min

🔺Pull-in pulses - 3x10 pulses, 3 times per set

🔺Side plank pull-ins - 3x10-15

🔺Heel drops - 3x16

🔺Glute bridges with adductor squeeze - 3x15

🔺Bear hovers - 3x10-15
