Kelsey Wells In Two-Piece Workout Gear Says “I Can’t Train Without Headphones”

Health and fitness influencer Kelsey Wells knows that music can push you to work harder and faster during exercise, giving workouts an edge. Wells shared a video of herself wearing blue leggings and a white bandeau top, doing a workout with dumbbells. “What music are you training to!? Sometimes you just need to lift to a really good sad song ya know? Lol. I actually listen to anything from rap or emo to broadway or classical piano— depends my mood! One thing is for SURE tho I can’t train without my headphones 🥲,” she captioned the post. Here’s how Wells takes care of herself inside and out.

1. Meditation and Breakfast

Wells starts the day with mindful meditation. A typical breakfast for the trainer consists of an egg white omelet with vegetables and plant-based sausage. “Having a breakfast that is nutrient and protein-rich and contains minimally-processed foods helps give me the right energy I need to not only get through a solid weight-lifting session but also to help power me through my day,” she told The Newsette. “Working out is my ‘me’ time – I absolutely love it. It helps to clear my head and helps me feel like my best self. I always make sure I have some protein right after my workout – a shake like my oatmeal cookie batter protein shake is a quick, easy and delicious way to refuel my muscles.”

2. Postpartum Fitness

Wells has good advice for women struggling with their postpartum fitness. “The best thing you can do for your body is to rest and recover during those first delicate weeks,” she told Women’s Fitness. “When you’ve got approval to exercise again, go gently and ease into this. I don’t care if you’re an Olympian, you cannot just jump back into what you were doing. Allow your healing to be at the forefront of your fitness priorities.”

3. Exercise As Self-Care

Wells believes even small amounts of activities can be beneficial for health and happiness. “No matter how crazy busy my schedule is, I make time to get a workout in – even if it’s just 15 minutes or a quick walk, every effort counts,” she told The Newsette. “And ladies – ditch the guilt. Try not to look at exercise as an added pressure, instead, think of it as self-care. Taking the time out of your day for much-deserved ‘me’ time helps you to reset, care for your body, and in turn helps you to be the best version of yourself in all your other roles.”

4. Low Impact Workouts

Wells was forced to switch to low impact workouts while healing from an injury. “I had this huge epiphany, where I realized I could train low impact yet keep my physique and get stronger; it was mind blowing how amazing I felt; my body was so happy,” she told Women’s Fitness. “I realized that before, I had been doing too much – I was now doing less than ever yet was feeling stronger, more energized and more alive.”

5. Moderation Is Key

Wells enjoys a balanced diet with room for the occasional treat. “I have the biggest sweet tooth so I’ll usually have dessert almost every night after dinner – whether it be what I had today (greek yogurt, granola and berries) or some fruit with almond butter,” she told The Newsette. “If you are craving something sweet I don’t believe in depriving yourself and having nothing, instead just make a healthier choice. Having everything in moderation is key!”

Lindsey Vonn is getting her sweat on – and flaunting her fit figure. In a new social media post the skier shows off her amazing body in a two-piece workout look while executing a workout at the gym. “Back on my @redbull grind and man, it feels good! Getting as strong as I can… think I might have a plan for the knee, but first I need to get,” she captioned the Instagram Reel. What exercises are helping her get strong and what other health habits does she practice? Here is everything you need to know.

1. Here Is Her Latest Workout

According to Kendra Gamble, HIT Fitness Training, Huntingdon Valley, PA, NPTI Certified Personal Trainer and Nutritional Consultant, Lindsey’s workout includes:

• Single leg hip thrust
• Standing abduction machine (can be done with a band)
• Lying hamstring curl
• Inverted row
• *Back extension
• *Side plank hip adduction
• TRX push up

2. She’s Training to Be “Lean and Fit” with Weight Training

Lindsey admits she has gotten "a lot leaner" after retiring from skiing. "I used to do things that were so sport specific, so I had to be bigger," she told New York Post's Alexa magazine. "But everyone is like, 'Oh my God, you're in the best shape of your life.' It's like — yes and no. I'm not training for my sport anymore, I am training to be lean and fit,” she said. She has dramatically decreased her body fat with the help of trainer Gunnar Peterson. "Different training. Different diet. Crazy!" Her workouts are no joke, and she trains three to four times a week. "Whatever you like doing is what you should be doing," she told Women’s Health. Her workouts are a combo of strength and weight training, using a lot of weighted balls, battle ropes, lifts, squats.

3. She Also Does Two Cardio Workouts a Week

Lindsey supplements her weight and strength training with two cardio workouts a week, but you won’t find her running on the treadmill. "I have a doctor's note that says I should never run again in my life, and I'm okay with that," she says. Instead she cycles or surfs.

4. She Also Walks After Dinner

"I have to go outside and walk the glucose off with my dog," Lindsey says about her post-dinner strolls. According to science, you should too. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

5. Her Diet Is “Clean”

Lindsey no longer follows her “ski season” diet of “a lot of protein and carbs,” she told People. Phil Goglia revamped her diet when she retired, and it now involves a lot of water, eating clean food, and timing her meals. “I try not to eat too much in the morning before I work out,” she told Women’s Health. Post-workout Lindsey eats “egg white omelets with broccoli, chicken, and pepper, and stuff like that.” For lunch, she might have chicken or salmon with kale or cabbage. For dinner, her plate is filled with a mix of protein and veggies – like chicken salad with avocado or a zucchini pasta with bolognese meat sauce. Almonds, kiwis, and blueberries are go-to snacks. Overall she tries to eat a lot of plant-based foods. “Listen, the kitchen can be intimidating to anyone. But I’m here to tell you: You can do it. And with the new year, let’s do it better, together. I’ve got 14 places to help you start eating more plant-based foods,” she captioned a recent post, suggesting the Just Egg cookbook to her followers.

Kelsey Kiel, a prominent CrossFit athlete, recently shared glimpses of her life on Instagram, including quality time spent with her family, partner, and beloved dog. Her post reflects a heartwarming weekend filled with adventures, football, pumpkin picking, and cozy coffee moments. Kiel expressed her sentimentality, saying, “I miss Jojo already. Such a good weekend with my mom, my guy and of course, Oliver. 🥹♥️ adventures, football, pumpkins and coffee. I’m grateful!!” This showcases not just her physical strength but also the strong bonds she cherishes with her loved ones, highlighting the balance she maintains between her rigorous training regimen and a fulfilling personal life.

1. She Works Hard

Kiel makes sure to work hard when she trains. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram video. “The truth is - I’ve been chasing a competitive dream in some way shape or form for almost 10 years. Taking this time for ME has filled my cup (and then some♥️). But it’s hard when I’m used to my body looking a certain way. But the truth is I had to fight to be lean. I had to count and track everything I ate and drank. When I finally gave myself the necessary grace and time away from that, I’ve evolved and my body has followed suit.”

2. She Works On Self-Love

Kiel is working on self-love, especially when it comes to her body. She also talked about this in the caption of the previous Instagram video. “I’m going to fight to love this body in this season of life. I’m going to be better about speaking kindly to myself. It’s hard and I think it’ll be something I have to actively work on (always and forever), but I must, and you must, because this is our one precious life and why should we go through it being so damn hard on ourselves?”

3. She Lifts Weights

Kiel likes to lift weights to stay in shape. She is seen lifting a barbell in the previous Instagram video. Kiel also shared this post of herself weightlifting, captioning it, “Stayin’ skrong 👸🏼✨ // 225, 235, 245 for 1+1 🤝” ACE Fitness states that weights have a lot of health benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

4. She Does Yoga

Kiel shared some of her favorite ways to stay fit in this Instagram post. One thing she is seen doing is yoga. Harvard Health reports that yoga has a lot of health benefits. “Yoga develops inner awareness. It focuses your attention on your body's abilities at the present moment. It helps develop breath and strength of mind and body. It's not about physical appearance.”

5. She Walks

Another exercise that Kiel is seen doing in the previous Instagram post is walking. Harvard Health states that walking has a lot of benefits. “A pair of studies from the University of Exeter found that a 15-minute walk can curb cravings for chocolate and even reduce the amount of chocolate you eat in stressful situations. And the latest research confirms that walking can reduce cravings and intake of a variety of sugary snacks.”

Danielle Pascente, a well-known influencer and fitness coach, has built her success by embracing a balanced approach to health and fitness. She’s committed to pushing through tough exercises she doesn’t enjoy and always ensures she never skips a warmup. Pascente’s dedication is evident in her consistent approach, reminding her followers that staying on track is key to reaching their goals, even with a busy schedule. From high-intensity treadmill intervals to the importance of fueling her body in ways that suit her, Pascente demonstrates that a well-rounded routine is essential. Her message is simple: listen to your body, find what works for you, and stay committed to achieving a balanced and healthy lifestyle.

1. She Does Workouts She Hates

You’re not going to love every workout–there are some exercises that are hard to tolerate even though they’re effective. Pascente has a list of ones she hates, but she still does them because “they’re good for me.” Wearing mint green shorts with black trim and a teal-colored sports bra, Pascente showed which moves she doesn’t enjoy but will continue to do.

-Bulgarian split squats

-Pull-ups

-Barbell back squats

-Lateral raises

2. She Never Skips a Warmup

Warming up before a workout is recommended because it helps improve performance, boosts energy, reduces stress on the heart, and helps increase flexibility. Pascente admits she can overlook things in a session, but warming up is essential. “I’m mostly the chilliest trainer ever, but skip the warm up and you’re ☠️ to me 🤣🤣🤣🤣I will die on this hill. Not nearly as much as people die on the hill that burpees are the worst exercise ever (agree to completely disagree) but I think a lottttt of us can agree that warming up before exercise IS IMPORTANT.”

3. She Does Treadmill Intervals

To switch things up, Pascente will do treadmill intervals and shared what the workout looks like in an Instagram video.

“Warm up: 5 minutes, walk pace, incline 2%

• •

WORKOUT:

➡️3 - 30 second sprints. 30 seconds recovery between each. Increase your sprint speed by 1 each time. Make sure you choose a pace you know you can increase and still hold for 30 seconds. The last one SHOULD push you! Mine were 9.0, 10.0, 11.0. Next time, I’m going to try pushing 10, 11, 12.

• •

Hop off tread and complete this circuit. Interval is 30/10 (30 seconds on, 10 rest)

1️⃣DB SQUAT TO PRESS

2️⃣MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS

3️⃣DL TO LUNGE SNATCH

4️⃣DECLINE PUSH UP

• •

Hop back on tread and repeat this 3-4 times. I made it through 4 rounds - but honestly - this shit gassed me - it’s tough with the added circuit for sure. But in true me fashion - of course I’d program this madness 😂😤”

4. Consisteny is Key

Pascente is a busy mom on the go, but never skipping workouts is key for her fitness journey. In an interview with Perfect Bar she said, “If I’m consistent with that, everything else falls into place. I travel a lot too so sometimes it’s hard to find a rhythm, but when I carve out time and actually schedule all my workouts I feel much better! Workouts just set the tone for my day. They help me make better decisions (food wise) throughout the day and recharge my mind and body!”

5. Find What Works Best For You

Pascente fuels up for workouts in various ways like enjoying a big breakfast beforehand, but reminds followers that everyone is different. “I said it once and I’ll say it 20 more times - you’ve got to do what works for you. There is no one size fits all approach to how we eat or fuel our bodies and the timing in which we do it.” She also stated, “I think nutrition in general is so specific and unique to each individual. I get asked a lot how I fuel before and after my workouts and that looks wildly different based on preference, time you wake up, time you might exercise, etc. This is just a small glimpse on fuel surrounding a workout but it’s also constantly changing if my schedule shifts a bit.”

1. She Does HIIT and Pilates Fusion

Karlie trains with Starr Hawkins of Baby Mama Fitness, whose trademark workout is a fusion of Pilates and high intensity interval training (HIIT). Hawkins also trains clients at Barry’s and Gotham Gym, the New York City workout studio where Karlie frequents. "Pilates relies on isolated, controlled movement and has allowed me to build up my core and strengthen my legs and arms," she previously told T Magazine.

2. She Gets Her Vitamin D

Being outdoors is part of her self-care routine. “Spending quality time outside is a big part of my overall wellness and personal happiness,” she told Vogue. “This past year, I made it a goal to spend even more time outside. It’s amazing how much fresh air and sunshine can uplift your mood, and that was a driving force behind these pieces.”

3. She Runs

“Oh, I love running,” she told Paper in June 2021, revealing that she had just started it up again. “No matter where I am, I always have to go for a run because all you need is a pair of sneakers,” she continued. “It's just to get outside and go, just a mental drive to push yourself to do it. And with pregnancy and quarantine, it was hard to get outside and be able to keep up that normal part of my routine. I don't know why but it took a little extra mental motivation to lace the sneakers back up and get out there. It just felt so good.”

4. She Makes Sure to “Squeeze” Workouts In

“I am a girl on the go; I’m always running between flights, and then going to set and catching another flight and trying to squeeze a workout in,” Karlie recently told Harper’s Bazaar UK.

5. She Exercises to Feel Good

Karlie exercises “to feel strong and challenge my body to reach new goals. Movement feeds my mind and gives me energy throughout the day,” she told T magazine. "Excessive sitting is a fairly new problem in human history. Two hundred years ago, 90% of the world lived in agricultural communities. People sat for three to five hours per day but only to take breaks from working. Modern Americans sit for 13 to 15 hours per day," says the Mayo Clinic. "Here are a few ways to incorporate movement into your day:

• Use a standing desk when possible.
• Set a reminder to stand and move at least once per hour.
• Take a walk over lunch.
• Walk during phone or conference calls."
