Jen Selter In Green Two-Piece Workout Gear Says “You’ve Got This!”

Fitness influencer Jen Selter is sharing some workout inspiration with her 13.9 million Instagram followers. Selter, 30, shared a video of herself wearing green two-piece Alo Yoga gear, doing mat exercises next to the ocean. “Feeling stuck in a lazy slump after taking a break from your routine? I get it, it happens to the best of us. But here’s the truth: getting back into the swing of things can make you feel like a whole new person. Trust me, I’ve been there. Remember, every little step you take forward is a win and you’ll be amazed at how quickly you bounce back once you get moving again. You’ve got this!” she captioned the post. Here’s how Selter approaches wellness, fitness, and living her best life.

1. No Secret Pill

Selter is a big believer in the power of positive thought. “Anyone can acquire anything they set their hearts and minds to!” she told HuffPost. “It takes dedication, perseverance, hard work and consistency. There is no secret pill, no special diet. What it comes down to is how hard you push yourself and how you overcome the mental challenge of getting yourself to the gym even when you really don't want to.”

2. Sunday Funday

Selter relaxes with meal prepping and cleaning. “Sundays are my favorite days to reset and decompress,” she told Sundays For Dogs. “I love getting a little workout in, tidying up my apartment, looking over and prepping my schedule for the week ahead, as well as cooking/baking. Sundays are my days to take things slowly, relax and recharge!”

3. Training Mom

Selter enjoys the challenge of training family members like her mother. “Working out with her has been a great learning experience and seeing her progress along the way has really been inspiring to me,” she told Yahoo Beauty. “She has a great work ethic and it shows. I hope I look like her when I’m her age. Training with her has had its challenges, too. Her body behaves a little differently than mine, and I have to always remind myself of that. It’s also fun. She usually gets to be the boss, but in the gym, I’m in charge!”

4. No Perfect Body

Selter wants to remind people to focus on what they can control. “The thing I want people to know is that there is no ‘perfect body.’ I certainly don’t think mine is,” she told Yahoo Beauty. “Just like every other woman out there, there are things about mine I wish I could change. I think what we should all aspire to – what I try to aspire to, is to be the best version of myself, inside and out. There are lots of things about myself, and my body, I can’t change. But there are even more [things] that I’m in control of, and those are what I focus on.”

5. Just Do It

Selter has days when she needs to motivate herself to work out, just like everyone else. "Everyone has days when they don’t want to get out of bed," she told Women’s Health. "I have them. Some days, I’m like, 'The gym’s not happening.' Sometimes I have to give myself a little pep talk."

Fitness model Jen Selter is sharing some highly encouraging and realistic fitness tips for 2024. Selter, 30, posted a video of herself working out in a green two-piece outfit, using dumbbells and resistance bands.

“Some tips to help you stay motivated:

1. Set Realistic Goals
2. Create a Routine
3. Track Progress
4. Find a Workout Buddy
5. Mix It Up
6. Reward Yourself
7. Listen to Your Body

Be proud of yourself at every step of your fitness journey. It’s not just a destination, it’s a lifestyle💪🏼,” she captioned the post. Here’s what Selter’s diet and workouts look like, and her advice for living your best life.

1. Squats and Lunges

Selter’s enviable glutes are the result of plenty of lunges and squats. “Some of my favorite lower body movements are squat and lunge variations, stairmaster intervals and kickbacks,” she tells New Beauty. “I like working them into my workout routine by doing them in two-movement supersets, or Tabata-style, to get my heart rate up. I share all of my workout tips and a complete lower body and booty guide on my app with Fitplan. You get a free week trial, and it’s where I share all my secrets to reach your lower body’s best potential!”

2. Fuel Your Body

Selter swears by hydration and cheat meals for a happy, balanced life. “There’s only so much you can do in a gym, nutrition is just as important! It’s crucial to fuel your body with the proper nutrients to recover fast and build muscle,” she tells New Beauty. “But that doesn’t mean there’s no room for cheat meals! A healthy life and a healthy diet is all about balance. By far, my number one accessory is my water bottle, I need it to stay hydrated. Sometimes I forget to drink enough water both in and out of the gym. I also love having a pair of gloves to assist me when I’m lifting weights. I like Props Athletics gloves, or any gloves that have a nice design.”

3. Breakfast of Champions

Selter is not one of those fitness influencers who skips breakfast. “Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day!” she tells Women Fitness. “I usually start my mornings with a smoothie which I make myself with my BlendJet which is a portable blender. My shakes are blended with a mixture of fruits, nuts, oat milk, and coffee. Following my shake I will have eggs or oatmeal, I usually alternate. On the weekends I enjoy cooking protein pancakes which are delicious. I have recipes on my Instagram, blog, and YouTube. I’m all about moderation! I don’t believe in depriving yourself of the things you love most. For example, I LOVE dark chocolate. I don’t remember the last day I went a day without having it! But I don’t over indulge. I also LOVE my cheat meals, and have a cheat meal once a week.”

4. Living With Anxiety

Selter feels empowered after sharing her battles with anxiety on social media. “After sharing on my stories that I’ve suffered from anxiety, so many of my followers reached out with such a strong sense of support and advice,” she tells Women Fitness. “It made me realize that so many people are struggling with mental health disorders and no one really talks about it. So many people were saying ‘but your life seems so perfect.’ That is just a social media facade. So I would say the best part is that I have this AMAZING community that I am so thankful for. The worst part is that sharing my personal life can be a bit intimidating. However, sharing this inner struggle with my followers has taught me so much.”

5. Her Best Advice

Selter wants everyone to feel confident in themselves and appreciate their own unique qualities. “My first bit of advice is to eliminate all negative thoughts and negative energy about who you are. No one is perfect, embrace your flaws! It’s what makes you, YOU,” she tells New Beauty. “Your goal should be to be the best version of yourself, and that means finding confidence and having a positive outlook on who you are. I always recommend waking up and writing down a few things you love about yourself and using them as a mantra throughout the day. Avoid comparing yourself to others and stay focused on you, your goals and your best qualities. For every negative thought, replace it by two good ones, and don’t stop until you appreciate your beautiful self.”

1. Sweating For Good Headspace

Greene previously talked about her love for Rise Nation workouts in Los Angeles. “Mentally, for me, it’s so important. It really keeps me kind of sharp and focused,” she told Women’s Health. “I kind of alternate between doing the Versa classes and strength training and I’m waiting for the day that I can do them both in one day! It’s always that thing where, even when I don’t go to the gym, if I’m just sweating and being active – even if it’s not an intense session – I always feel so much better and things are much more organized in my head.”

2. Fueling Her Workouts

Greene eats to fuel her workouts. “I used to have to have breakfast, but it was, like, yogurt,” she told Women’s Health. “Now I have to have two pieces of wholegrain toast and almond butter, honey and bananas on top. That would bother some people because it’s got a decent amount of fat, but you have to recognise that it’s fuel; it doesn’t matter if I’m putting calories and fat into my body – I need it to do the type of strength training that I like to do.”

3. Postpartum Fitness

Greene was careful about jumping back into her workout routine after welcoming daughter Kingsley Rainn in September 2022. "I wanted to feel fully back into my body… I really wanted to focus on making sure that I gave myself enough rest for everything to go back into place, and made sure that I wasn't trying to jump back into where I was and hurting myself," she told PEOPLE. "I feel like there's this idea that you are cleared after eight weeks and you can just jump back in, and that is so far from the case. I think it's really damaging to a lot of people.”

4. Learning Self-Confidence

Greene has learned to become comfortable and confident in her own skin. “I don't know that I've ever met someone who hasn't had some type of insecure moment or stage,” she told HuffPost. “You're growing and you're learning, and some days are good and some are bad. I'm definitely the most comfortable in my skin than I've ever been. I understand that a lot of things aren't the end of the world.”

5. Gym Owner

Greene and husband Paul Khory opened their own gym NexGen Fitness in Sherman Oaks, CA, and she is thrilled her daughter will grow up being familiar with the place. “She was just running around this place that holds so much importance to all of us,” she told PEOPLE. “She’ll grow up understanding and have such a toolbox for mental health and physical fitness and reproductive rights, and that’s such a cool thing to be able to give all that to your daughter. It’s much more fulfilling to put your name and your face behind something that you truly care about."

Singer and TV presenter Michelle Heaton is on a roll with her fitness routine. Heaton, 44, shared a video of herself wearing black leggings and a matching tank top, doing a strength training workout at the gym. “Calling all my menopausal women out there..👊❤️Come train with me … 🙏🏻Did you know that any exercise at all in menopause will help keep your weight from constantly fluctuating, helping lower stress, anxiety, and depression, all of which tend to show up liberally during and beyond menopause. No matter what you choose to do, something is better than nothing ladies! You got this 💯,” she captioned the post. Here’s how Heaton stays fit and full of energy.

1. Bright Workout Gear

Heaton knows how important the right exercise wear is for comfort during a workout. “As a busy mum, I sometimes wear gym stuff all day, so it has to look cool, feel good to the touch and be durable and comfy,” she told Asda Good Living. “I think wearing brightly-colored clothing can lift your mood. Plus if you’re in a large exercise class, it makes it easier to spot yourself in the mirror and correct your positions. Wear the right sports bra for the exercise you do. For yoga, I wear a bra that leaves me free to do more, then one with more support for interval training and weights.”

2. Small Workouts When Possible

Heaton fits in smaller workouts when she doesn’t have time for her regular routine. "No time to work out? Find ways to fit exercise into your daily routine,” she told Asda Good Living. “You don’t have to do it all in one go – you could try lunges as you can vacuum then star jumps whilst you’re watching TV. A few mini-workouts a day will add up. One of the best ways that I stay motivated is by leaving my gym equipment out so that I can see it. So it's always in my trail of thought - no excuses!"

3. Early Morning Workouts

Heaton arranges her workouts around her children—the earlier in the day, the better. "I try my very best to go to the gym four or five times a week,” she told Your Healthy Living. “I force myself to work hard there because I know I haven’t got long and I have to get back to the kids. I tend to get up really early and get there for about 6 a.m. before the kids wake up. I like to keep fit… I’m noticing that my metabolism is slowing down and I can’t eat all the things I want to eat any more. I like to try and look my best because it makes me happy."

4. Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream

Heaton is a big fan of cult beauty product Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream. “I always like to have Elizabeth Arden Eight Hour Cream handy because it has so many uses,” she told Closer. “I use it as a lip balm, for cuts and grazes, I even use it on my hair, and it’s perfect for moisturizing skin when you’re on a flight. It’s always in my bag. I also use it on Faith [her daughter] when she grazes her skin, it’s really handy.”

5. Home Cooked Whole Foods

Heaton likes to cook at home from scratch. "We stay away from processed or starchy foods,” she told Your Healthy Living. “A typical day at home would begin with a smoothie made with blueberries and protein powder, then lunch would be an egg white omelet with a side salad and our evening meal would be some sort of protein with plenty of vegetables. I might have Greek yoghurt or a protein bar for a snack. We try to eat organic sometimes but as it can be expensive, it depends on our budget for the week."
