Kiera Hogan is a successful wrestler currently with AEW. Hogan was previously a part of Impact Wrestling. In April, she shared a video of herself doing leg presses in the gym. Hogan captioned the post, “It’s monday you know what that means, its leg day!! Gotta vibe out to @snowthaproduct to push this weight! Periodt! S/o my motivation @diamantelax and I know yall see them 6 PLATES, don’t play with her.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Kiera Hogan stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.
1. She Does Leg Presses
Hogan’s leg presses are very beneficial. Asphalt Green reports, The leg press works all of the lower body muscles, but it really emphasizes the quads, hamstrings, and glutes. One of the big benefits of a machine like the leg press is that it can build those larger muscles, and it’s easy to use. There are those who argue this machine is less effective at building overall strength than free weight exercises; the truth is, no matter what you’ll still get stronger while you’re using it. It’s all about you, and where you are on your fitness journey.”
2. She Strength Trains
In her Instagram video, Hogan does her leg presses with a lot of weights. Strength training has a lot of benefits, according to AARP. “Strength training may be even more protective for your ticker than aerobic exercise, according to a study of 4,086 adults presented last November at the American College of Cardiology. Best of all, you don't have to do a lot to see benefits. A study published last year, in the journal Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise, revealed that less than an hour of weekly resistance exercise reduces risk of developing metabolic syndrome (a cluster of conditions, such as high blood pressure, high cholesterol and elevated blood sugar, that raise risk of heart disease) by up to 70 percent.”
3. She Wants To Stand On Her Own
Hogan used to compete in Tag Team Wrestling. However, she told Thunder Rosa that she wants to stand on her own. “I was always somebody’s best friend. I was Allie’s best friend, Jordynne’s best friend, Madison Rayne’s best friend. Can I be by myself? Am I not strong enough to be by myself? Am I not a strong enough character? What is it? That’s why I changed my character to try and do something different and not the same ol’ same ol’. ‘Maybe I’m stale.’ I tried to switch it up.”
4. She Gets Sunshine
She has posed in swimsuits, getting some healthy sun. "Sunlight allows us to make vitamin D, but a new research finding could reveal another powerful benefit of getting some sun. Georgetown University Medical Center researchers have found that sunlight, through a mechanism separate from vitamin D production, energizes T cells that play a central role in human immunity," says Georgetown.
5. She Wrestles, Naturally!
"Wrestling is an intense full-body workout that engages virtually every muscle group. The sport demands explosive power, agility, and cardiovascular endurance, making it an excellent way to improve overall physical fitness. Regular training in wrestling helps athletes build muscular strength, improve balance, and enhance flexibility. It contributes to better body composition and supports weight management, which can lead to a healthier lifestyle," says British Wrestling.
