Jenna Jameson is showing off her fit figure at the gym. In a new social media post the adult film star gives her followers a glimpse of her grueling workout – and washboard abs – in a two-piece workout ensemble. “Getting strong… sober. Happy,” she captioned the Instagram clip. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


1. Yoga

After injuring her shoulder a few years ago, Jenna “decided to start yoga,” she revealed in a post. “I always was a nay sayer when it came to yoga ( I thought it was boring and annoying). Maybe because it forces you into your own head and feelings. The quiet of it used to scare me. I now sneak onto my rooftop and enjoy morning yoga before anyone is awake. If you would have told me 5 years ago this would be me, I would have facepalmed you.”

2. Strength Training

Jenna spends a lot of time at the gym doing weight and strength training workouts. 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

3. Hiking

Jenna also goes for hikes. “Hiking red rock canyon in style,” she captioned a post. 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 certain respiratory problems

4. Keto

Jenna is a big fan of the keto diet, which she has used off-and-on to lose weight. After speculation about her recent weight loss, she revealed she was back on the high-fat, low-carb diet. “I wanted to address a few things. I know everybody — well, not everybody but a lot of people — are addressing my weight loss,” she said. “I’m just minding my health,” she added. “I'm back to keto. It makes me feel the best.”

5. Intermittent Fasting

Along with keto Jameson is “doing a little bit of intermittent fasting,” she revealed in the same post, adding that due to the combo of keto and fasting “the weight's falling off." Intermittent fasting works by “prolonging the period when your body has burned through the calories consumed during your last meal and begins burning fat,” explains Johns Hopkins Medicine.

Ashlyn Little is a professional bodybuilder. She competes in the IFBB. Last month, she hit the gym, and shared a stunning post on Instagram. In it, Little showed off her figure as she posed in workout clothes. She also did squats with a machine. She captioned the post, “Just a small girl with a ant 🐜 booty hard at work 👀😂”

She Works Hard

Little talked about the importance of working hard in the caption of this Instagram post. “This shape wasn’t built in a month or a few months or a year or a few years. BUT 10 YEARS… 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 my shape has never looked like this and I started my fitness journey in 2014 😳 When I started I never put a time line on how long until I achieved a certain physique. I just told myself as long as I’m able to go to the gym and train and eat healthy that’s what I decided I was going to do. I never turned back and I never got upset for how long it took cause I knew the muscle would come eventually as long as I kept going. Here we are now 10 years later and am I happy with my progress and what I see? YES!! But I’m never satisfied and for that I keep working 😤 Each year I get a little bit better and I learn a lot more! There is NO time line for me. I just love building my physique and I love this lifestyle so for all I care the growth can be slow or fast.”

She Has Support

Little has a lot of support that helps keep her in shape. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Hardest thing in prep for me is prep goggles hands down. Seeing one thing when others see something completely different. Constantly thinking ‘am I even going to be good enough?’ During these moments I always lean on my support system to keep my eyes and mind in check. The best advice I can give is to take the thinking out of it completely & never compare yourself to anyone but you. Don’t let the mind wonder. Just do your job and follow the plan. It’s your coaches job to tell you if you’re not on point or where you’re supposed to be. I’ve worked hard on this aspect of prep this year. Not questioning just following my coaches lead. Don’t allow your thoughts to consume your mind and sabotage your prep. I’m thankful for my support system and my coach heading into the biggest show of the year. No worries, no stress, no fears. Just a lot of hard work, following the plan and keeping my mind on the daily tasks at hand AND THATS IT 💯🙏🏼🤍”

She Lifts Weights

Little shared some of her favorite lower body workouts in this Instagram video. In it, she is seen using a barbell and weights. Little captioned the post, “Glutes and hammies my first workout back home post show 🍑 it was so nice to be able to enjoy some time off with my loved ones 🥹🙏🏼 and getting back to work this week has felt so good!!! Love that refreshing feeling of a first workout back 🔥 @ccash15_ifbbpro.”

She Does Squats

Little is seen doing squats in the previous Instagram post and the post from a month ago. Squats have a lot of benefits. Allina Health states, “The squat is one of the all-around best exercises to do for your lower body. It strengthens and tones muscles in your thighs, butt and calves and improves posture, balance, flexibility and inner core strength. Squatting also improves bone mineral density to keep your bones strong.”

She Does Lunges

In her lower body workout Instagram post, Little is seen doing lunges to keep herself in shape. Lunges have a lot of benefits. ACE Fitness states, “They’re a form of unilateral training, which means you’re working only one limb or side of the body at a time. And unilateral training is a more effective way to build functional strength (than using both legs) because these types of movement mimic other everyday motions, like walking and climbing stairs — and not just to the working leg. Research suggests the strength gains to the nonworking side are about half of the strength gains of the working side.”

Jeanette Jenkins is unveiling a total body workout in honor of the new year – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post, Pink’s personal trainer shows off her fantastic figure in an exercise set while demonstrating a variety of moves. “No Equipment! No Excuses! Total Body Workout! 🔥Share with your friends or save for later!” she writes. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Here Are The Details

How many reps should you do? “Get it in! 10-15reps per exercise,” Jenkins instructs. “10-15reps or 30-45secs of each move.” She recommends doing a total of two to three sets. In the Instagram clips she demonstrates each exercise, so follow along!

Here Are The Exercises

Jeanette Jenkins is pictured doing Push-Up + Ankle Taps.

1. Side Plank + Oblique Crunch

2. Side Lunge + Cross Body Kick

3. Warrior 3 Balance + Leg Reach 10x + Hold 30secs

4. Push-Up + Ankle Tap

5. Reverse Lunge + Rotation

6. Mountain Climbers

7. Squat Jump + Cross Touch (Low Impact remove jump)

8. Plie Squat on Toes

9. High Knees

10. Abs/Obliques Cross Body Toe Touch

Learn To Love Exercise

And, change your attitude! “Lastly, don’t look at exercise and diet as something to dread,” says Jenkins. “Healthy living and moving your body are a way of life and don’t happen overnight. Most importantly, don’t forget a positive attitude. It will set you up for long-term success.”

Hydration

Hydration is also key. “It would be best if you started well-hydrated before you even get moving. Signs like dark urine color will tell you that you need to up your fluid intake before hitting the gym. During a workout, we activate our sweat glands to help cool down the body, which depletes our internal water levels. Dehydration occurs when fluid losses exceed fluid consumed through both foods and drinks. It can impact everything from athletic performance and muscle recovery to mood, alertness, concentration and short-term memory,” she told Abbott.

Diet

If you want to get in shape, you will have to modify your diet as well. “Whether you’re looking to burn fat or strengthen your muscles, you must pay attention to your meal plan just as much as your workout plan,” Jenkins told Abbott. “In general, most people don’t understand how many calories they eat in a day or how many calories they should be eating. If you are trying to burn body fat or slim down, you need to have a calorie negative at the end of the day.” The first step is understanding “what you are eating and how many calories are in your chosen foods,” she claims. “There are 3,500 calories in one pound of fat. If you have a calorie negative of -500 a day, you can achieve a calorie negative of -3500 in a week (7 days) to help you burn off 1 pound of fat. It takes time to learn about the food you put in your body, but it’s necessary, and that knowledge you gain will remain with you for a lifetime. Also, take time to meal prep. Spending an hour at the beginning of your week planning meals will save time and calories.”

Stay TUNED!”

2. She Strength Trains

Lee likes to strength train to stay in shape. In several of her Instagram posts, she is seen using weights.

Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories.”

Lee shared some of her favorite back exercises in this Instagram video. In it, she is seen lifting dumbbells and doing dual pulley rows. She captioned the post, “Back attack!

As you can see in the Instagram post, Lee likes to do hip thrusts to keep her lower body in shape. According to Gymless, this exercise has a lot of benefits. “Hip thrusts, as a compound movement, aid in increasing lower body strength and power, enhancing athletic abilities such as running, jumping, and powerlifting. By strengthening the posterior chain muscles, you can enhance your posture and lower the risk of back pain and muscle strain.”

Jen Thompson is a powerlifter and fitness expert. She has her own program, and shares a lot of her tips and workouts on Instagram. Recently, Thompson shared a video of herself lifting a barbell with a wrist wrap. She captioned the post, “Oddly, I was the only one to show up for lifting today…. Thanks to @jeffsnyder671 for coming to cheer and laugh at my misery! Trying hook grip with straps. Last training I suffered from some bicep tendinitis. So I’m trying to stave that off before I hit the heavy sets and go back to mixed grip. Doesn’t this look like fun. You can do my Speed Strength Program with me!!”


1. She Lifts Weights

Naturally, lifting weights is the main way Thompson keeps herself in shape. ACE Fitness states that doing exercises with weights has a lot of benefits. “Lifting heavy weights elevates levels of anabolic hormones—specifically testosterone, growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1)—which are used to repair muscle fibers damaged during exercise. This helps the muscle fibers to become thicker and capable of generating higher levels of force.”

2. She Does Declines

One exercise with weights that Thompson likes to do is using the decline bench. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing them. Thompson captioned the post, “I have always loved decline. They are one of the most underrated exercise?? Join my thompsonsgym.programs.app and get access to all my programs, Instructional videos, metrics and an invite into my private community! Link in bio.”

3. She Uses Wrist Wraps

Thompson likes to use wrist wraps when she lifts weights. She explained the benefits of using them in the caption of this Instagram video. “I see people roll the bar back in their wrists all the time. You lose power this way. Wrist wraps can help you lock in the bar position in your hand. I LOVE the @a7intl ZEBRA FLEXI 77cm. They are form fitting and never pop off. Join my thompsonsgym.programs.app and get access to all my programs, Instructional videos, metrics and an invite into my private community! Link in bio.”

4. She Has Rest Days

Thompson makes sure to work out on a regular basis. However, she makes sure to have rest days. Thompson talked about this in the caption of this Instagram video. “I find 3 days rest does it for me. Anything longer than that makes me feel too removed from it. You?? Join my thompsonsgym.programs.app and get access to all my programs, Instructional videos, metrics and an invite into my private community! Link in bio.”

5. She Loves Working Out

Thompson loves to work out, and this is what helps her stay consistent. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram video. “What keeps you going to the gym??? After 25 years of training, I still love working out. It’s the opportunity to improve every time you enter the gym. But it’s also understanding some days you will have to celebrate the small wins. And that is all right, because eventually it will lead to big wins !!💪 Join my thompsonsgym.programs.app and get access to all my programs, Instructional videos, metrics and an invite into my private community!

We've consulted with our team of licensed nutritionists and dietitians to bring you informed recommendations for food products, health aids and nutritional goods to safely and successfully guide you toward making better diet and nutrition choices. We strive to only recommend products that adhere to our philosophy of eating better while still enjoying what you eat.

Angela Lee is breaking a sweat – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the MMA star shows off her fit figure in a two-piece exercise set during a strength training workout. “For me, working out and moving my body is the ultimate de-stressor 🏋🏻♀️ I know that I will be able to show up with more kindness, patience and empathy for Ava if I do the things I need to do to take care of myself first 🫶🏼Moms, Dads, Parents, People… We can't care for others if we don't care for ourselves first ☝🏼 Let's make wellness a priority! 💛,” 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.

Complex Carbs

Lee eats carbs, but the right kind: “Switch your diet from simple carbs to complex carbs, and eat more carbohydrates in the morning so that you have energy to fuel you throughout the day,” she tells OneFC about her diet advice.

Protein

Angela prioritizes protein, but tries to fuel up on whole foods versus powders and supplements. “Protein powder is a great nutritional supplement,” she tells OneFC. “But remember to include natural protein such as chicken breast, fish, beef, and tofu in your diet as well.”

Smoothies

Angela also enjoys smoothies. She packs hers with a lot of produce. “If you are not a big fan of eating vegetables, fruit and vegetable smoothies are a great way to get your greens in,” she says.

Eat Bigger Meals Earlier in the Day

Lee recommends eating bigger meals earlier in the day. “Just eat less at night. It is actually healthier to have a big breakfast, moderate lunch, and a small dinner. This method will help you shed those extra pounds and get rid of fat,” she claims.

Her Favorite Exercises

In another interview with OneFC Angela reveals a few of her favorite exercises, starting with air squats. “It is good to practice your form, and it is an effective, easy workout,” she states. “Also, you can change the range if you want to go deeper, or if you want to go ‘sumo squat’ style,” she says. She also loves push-ups, “great for everyone to do daily, because it builds your shoulder muscles and tightens your core, as well as many other benefits,” Lee says. “Also, there are a lot of different kinds of push-ups you can do, like speed push-ups and triangle pyramid push-ups. You can change it up. There are a lot of different options.” And, she also does burpees. “It is a full body range of motion, and a great way to get your heart-rate up pretty quick,” Lee says.

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

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.

Needs Intro

She’s Consistent

Last year, Culpo was preparing for her wedding. She told E! News that she made sure to be consistent with her wellness in order to prepare. “Really trying to dial in [on] what I eat, how I workout, the workouts that I do. Trying to get them in consistently because you only get married once and I want to feel my best. But this past season it was just hard being so far away from my normal routine and where I typically live."

She Keeps Her Skin Healthy While Traveling

Culpo has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it, even while traveling. “I don't wear any makeup when traveling," she says to Travel + Leisure. "That's one rule because I do feel like you will have a higher chance of breaking out if you are wearing a full face of makeup. A few things I always have with me is some sort of a spray. I love Dr. Barbara Sturm or Caudalie or La Mer. I also absolutely love traveling with a makeup wipe, the Neutrogena wipes are great. Something to just take off the sweat you build up.”

She Keeps Her Skincare Simple

Culpo shared her skincare routines with Byrdie. She says that she keeps her morning and night routine simple. “I am always trying out new products, so what I gravitate toward is often changing. At night, I usually use an oil and a serum. Right now, I love the Clarins Double Serum. In the morning, I use a Vitamin C serum and an SPF, and, typically, I just rinse my skin with warm water instead of using a cleanser. It is something I swear by—it allows for the oils on my skin from sleeping to absorb naturally.”

She Uses Products With Vitamins

Culpo shared some of her favorite skincare products with Byrdie. She says that she uses ones that have vitamins in them. “I have noticed a huge difference in my skin with vitamin C and E. I love the Good Janes H2OMyGod Moisturizer—it's sort of an all-in-one moisturizer that has vitamin C and collagen peptides. As for vitamin E, I actually just purchase the oil from the drugstore. It is super cheap and great to put on any red marks I may get from an occasional breakout. The healing process is so much quicker when I am using Vitamin E oil.”

She Packs Healthy Snacks

Culpo makes sure to eat healthy. She shared some of the snacks she packs with her with Travel + Leisure. "I love the Kind bars. I love any sort of nuts, to be honest with you. They are a go-to snack for me. I would say Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0% and some almonds would be perfect! Also, electrolytes to stay hydrated or some sort of collagen beauty powder or something."

Abigail Ratchford’s amazing body has helped her become one of the most famous models on the internet. The 32-year-old, who boasts over 9.1 million followers on Instagram alone, attributes her measurement-defying body to a few simple habits. Here is everything she does to stay fit at 32.

She Follows 4 Diet Rules

Abigail swears that abiding by simple rules helps her stay in shape. “I can’t diet. That just doesn’t work for me,” she told New Beauty. “I started to be healthier by first cutting out soda. Then, I stopped eating after 7 p.m. Finally, I started really watching my portions so I was eating fewer calories every day. And water—lots and lots of water.”

She UsesMyFitnessPal

Abigail explains being accountable for what she eats is crucial. While it’s not “rocket science,” she does use the MyFitnessPal app to track her eating. “I’m the type of person who likes to eat what I want. The app can help anyone do that—you can still eat great food, you just eat less of it,” she added New Beauty.

Pilates

Abigail is a fan of Pilates. “Group workout classes are so big right now, but I always get nervous around other people in settings like that. I have to go at my own pace without a bunch of distractions so, for me, Pilates with a one-on-one instructor works best. It’s not cheap, but then you also aren’t tempted to skip,” she said She added to Men’s Fitness via Muscle & Fitness that the workout “keeps you long and lean” — and the Mayo Clinic agrees. They say 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, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Balanced Diet

“I love green juices and smoothies. Sometimes I’ll put some protein powder in the morning—I feel like the mix of vegetables, and vitamins and stuff that’s in them, really gives me a lot of energy in the morning. I love BBQ food—my ultimate cheat is a pulled pork sandwich, sweet potato fries, and macaroni and cheese from this great place in LA,” she told Men’s Fitness.

Strength Training

Ratchford also lifts weights. “Initially, I made the mistake that a lot of girls do and I was only doing cardio. I just really didn’t see too much change in my body. I’ve been listening to my girlfriends who are in great shape and they say you have to do weight training, you have to go in and do squats. That’s my new thing—I’ve been doing some resistance training, circuit training,” she told Men’s Fitness. The Mayo Clinic explains that 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
