Jordyn Woods In Workout Gear Says “No Better Feeling Than a Strong Lift”

Jordyn Woods says she works out for the mental and well as physical benefits—so no wonder the socialite wrapped up the week on a euphoric note. Woods, 26, shared a selfie of herself wearing black workout gear in her car, fresh from an intense strength training workout. “No better feeling than ending your Friday with a strong lift 💪,” she captioned the post. Woods has lost weight, gained strength, and looks better than ever—here’s what her fitness and training routine looks like.

1. Proud of Her Progress

Woods is thrilled when she sees her own fitness progress. "I have a love-hate relationship with cardio,” she told E! News. “Weights, squats, I feel like it all plays an important role. Just staying consistent and doing something everyday whether it's walking, jogging, squats, weights at home or going to the gym. I feel like a little bit of something every day is very helpful. I look back to videos of me working out five months ago or two months ago and I'm like, ‘Wow!' Because I do it everyday, so much has changed so fast."

2. Weight Loss Through Hard Work

Woods says she lost weight “the traditional way”, and worked hard for great results. “One of my favorite workouts to do involves a couple of various things. I like to challenge myself with sumo squats, starfish toe touches, scissor leg raises and lying knee tucks,” she told Hollywood Life. “I will do twelve to fifteen reps of those and repeat it three to four times. If you are not sweating after that and don’t get a good workout from there I don’t know what to say because that gets me going and really is something that works pretty great for me. If you check my app, you will see how I do it. I would love to see how others react to it and what they get out of it themselves!”

3. Empowered By Workouts

Woods admits going to the gym is still sometimes nerve-racking, but loves how she feels afterwards. “Going to the gym can always be intimidating because you never know who's going to be there, or what you're going to do — especially if you've never worked out before,” she told Teen Vogue. “I still get intimidated sometimes going to the gym. But you always leave the gym feeling more empowered than you did than when you came.”

4. Resistance Band Workouts

Woods takes resistance bands with her when she’s traveling. “I love to do workouts with bands,” she told Hollywood Life “I will just use bands and anything you can find around the house because not all the time can I go to the gym, so me being on the road all the time and traveling it all has to be about convenience for me at the end of the day. So, doing banded workouts is super helpful and to mix it up with the bands is the way to go.”

5. Mental Health Benefits

Woods works out for the mental health benefits over vanity. “For me, working out wasn't to ever look a certain way, it was for my physical health but more importantly, my mental health,” she told Teen Vogue. “I feel like mental health is not something people are vocal enough about, but it’s something that everyone struggles with. I push it away, other people's opinions, because as long as I'm happy, it doesn't really matter what anyone has to say. I'm the person in my skin. I'm the person in my own body. And a lot of people just need to love themselves and focus on them and they wouldn't be worried about what anyone else is doing.”
