Jennifer Holland in Two-Piece Workout Gear Says "I Look Amazing"

Michelle Jenneke is a track and field athlete known for doing the hurdles. Jenneke has even competed in the Olympics. She also recently competed in Finland, and shared some highlights from the day on Instagram. Jenneke captioned the post, “Season best of 12.69 tonight at the @kuortanegames 😆 Great night with solid races from the Aussie contingent! Thank you Finland!!!” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Michelle Jenneke stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

Jenneke shared some of her favorite workouts with Body & Soul. She says that she does a variety of different things. “It’s a lot of heavy weights there, plus full body exercises and quite a bit of plyometric [exercises]. I start with heavy weights, and then I’ll do some lighter functional circuit, towards the end. All up, that takes an hour and a half to two hours… and sometimes when I finish a session I just lie on the ground.”

2. She Eats A Healthy Breakfast

Jenneke also shared her diet secrets with Body & Soul. She shared her favorite breakfasts for training day. “It really depends on what my training day looks like, but if I’ve got training in the morning (which I often do at the moment) I’ll have cereal generally before I go out and train. Then, I actually love having a Milo after a hard session – it’s got good levels of protein and iron in it – and then I make myself a second breakfast, which could be muesli with yoghurt or bacon and eggs.”

3. She Dances

Jenneke likes to dance before a meet. "The dancing preparation is good," Jenneke said to The New Zealand Herald. "People see me doing a dance on the track and it's part of my enjoyment ... I love being there and I love racing and that's how I express that. If you watch me during my warm up I'm dancing the whole way through it. I've always got music playing and I'm just really getting into it, it's how I pump myself up for the race."

4. She Swims

Jenneke loves to swim to stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself snorkeling in the ocean. Jenneke captioned the post, “A little taste of my amazing holiday in the Whitsundays last week 🌴⛵️ @suncoastcharters @hamiltonisland #gopro 🎶 Born To Be Yours - Kygo & Imagine Dragons.”

She Trains Consistently

Jenneke shared her training secrets with Body & Soul. She says that consistency is important. “I do three track sessions a week, and they can be from 2-3 hours each, which can be full on. You do some warm up, a hurdle session, and then a sprint session after that.”

Model and former Playboy star Holly Madison is embracing a balanced approach to health and fitness. Recently, she posted a playful selfie from the gym on Instagram, captioned, “Proof I worked out.” Madison’s journey to wellness has been shaped by self-compassion and a focus on long-term goals rather than quick fixes. After her second child, she prioritized her mental health over immediate weight loss, sharing on Instagram, “Losing weight just wasn’t my first priority after having a baby.” With the guidance of a nutritionist and a love for healthy foods like salmon, Madison has gradually built a sustainable routine. She hopes to inspire other moms by showing that achieving goals takes time—and that’s okay.

1. She Didn’t Focus On Losing Weight

After having her second child, Madison opened up about her weight loss process in this Instagram post. Madison revealed that she took some time to just focus on herself, and not worry about her weight. “Yeah, I’m excited that I finally reached my goal weight, but I also wanted to point out that it took me four years to get here. Losing weight just wasn’t my first priority after having a baby, sorry ‘bout it. I had an easy time losing the weight after my first pregnancy, but after the second one, the extra pounds were just hanging on. I was working on a novel and I was terrified that if I went on a diet I would be hungry, cranky, lightheaded and unable to concentrate.”

2. She Worked With A Nutritionist

In the previous Instagram post’s caption, Madison revealed that she decided to work with a nutritionist to help her lose weight. “I tried to lose weight just by working out and moderately watching what I eat at first, but even though I was doing really challenging workouts almost every day, nothing was budging. It wasn’t until I finally went to a nutritionist a year ago that I started making any progress. I had to know what foods worked with my metabolism before a diet became effective. Only recently was I able to incorporate both a diet and exercise into my day. For a while, it was a struggle because it seemed I only had time for one: workout OR make sure I had all the foods I need to stick to my diet.”

3. She Wants To Inspire Others

Madison also revealed in the previous post’s caption that she decided to share her journey to inspire other moms who might be in the same situation. “I just wanted to share that as kind of a disclaimer to this picture because I know there are so many moms out there who feel bad because they don’t always lose the weight quickly. The same methods don’t necessarily work for everyone. Just remember, if you haven’t made it to your physical goal yet, it’s because you’re a boss with a million things going on and you are probably killing it more than you think you are. ❤️”

4. She Loves Salmon

In this video on her YouTube channel, Madison shared what she typically eats in a day. For dinner, she ordered a salmon dish from a local restaurant. The Mayo Clinic says that salmon has a lot of benefits. “Salmon is probably best known for its omega-3 fatty acids. Called EPA and DHA, these fats may support heart health, brain function and healthy joints. Most Americans could add more seafood to their diets, and salmon is a good choice. Salmon can be used fresh or canned. If you buy canned salmon, get it packed in spring water instead of oil.”

5. She Has A Better Body Image

Madison opened up about overcoming unhealthy eating habits and body image in her book, The Vegas Diaries. "I felt like I had let myself down. After finally regaining control of my own life and achieving all my goals, how was it that I couldn't even control my own body? It wasn't until I got pregnant with my first baby a little over three years ago that I really started to get into nutrition and eating healthier."
