Jessica Arevalo is a bodybuilder and fitness influencer. She shares a lot of workout videos on her Instagram. In December, she shared an upper body workout on her page. In it, she is seen using dumbbells, landmines, and strength training machines. Arevalo captioned the post, “RENT IS DUE EVERYDAY!😤I don’t know who needs to hear this but GET UP! GET GOING! WE DON’T GET TIME BACK! DO YOUR BEST TODAY HOWEVER THAT MAY LOOK! I BELIEVE IN YA’LL!💪🏼” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Jessica Arevalo stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.
1. She’s Consistent
As you can see from the caption of her post, Arevalo is consistent with working out. The Mayo Clinic recommends this. “Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help you keep off lost weight. When you take part in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn. 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 Strength Trains
Arevalo likes to strength train. She shared this video of herself doing a lot of strength training exercises on Instagram. In it, Arevalo does machine chest presses, military shoulder presses, and bicep curls, among other exercises. She captioned the post, “You have to understand that the journey in life will never get easier, we only get stronger. You make a choice to man up and move forward or make excuses and go backwards. It’s up to you!”
3. She Works Her Upper Body
Arevalo shares a lot of upper body workouts on Instagram, including this video. She captioned the post, “FULL UPPER BODY WORKOUT POWERED BY| @essinutrition. OUTFIT DETAILS| @jessicaarevalocollection.

4. She’s Motivated
Arevalo shares what motivates her with Simply Shredded. “Growing up, I had nothing and experienced a lot of hardships and learned at a young age to work hard in whatever I did. I couldn’t give up because I didn’t have anything to fall back on. My motivation comes from how far I have come; I have overcome depression, alcohol addiction, anxiety, panic attacks and every kind of abuse you can think of. The fact that I fought my way out of the impossible lets me know that anything is possible. Now that I can inspire women all over the world is very motivating for me.”
5. She Does Lunges
Arevalo likes to do lunges to stay in shape. She talked about this with Simply Shredded. “I love lunges because they are the best for keeping those glutes in shape!” ACE Fitness states that lunges have a lot of benefits. “Lunges work the biggest muscles in your lower body — mainly the quadriceps, gluteus maximus, and the adductor magnus (the muscle in your inner thigh). Other muscles that come into play are the hamstrings, gluteus medius, calves, and core stabilizers, says Susane Pata, content strategist for the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and NASM-certified personal trainer based in Miami.”
