The influencer and bikini competitor recently shared a video of herself running, showcasing her dedication to staying in shape for her competition shows. Dressed in pale-colored athletic shorts and a matching sports bra, Dannenmiller revealed that she’s been hitting her fitness goals hard, running three times a week. From taking time to recover to indulging in cold plunges, Dannenmiller's approach to fitness is well-rounded, with a balance between intense workouts and self-care. Here’s how she stays bikini-ready for her competition shows and maintains her fit physique. Sporting pale-colored athletic shorts and a matching sports bra, Dannenmiller shared that she’s been giving up on her fitness goals.

1. She Runs Three Times a Week

“I have been running three times a week for a few months now.” Running is one of the most popular ways to stay active, but also provides several health benefits. According to Advent Health, running helps in the following ways:

-Reduces your risk of heart disease

-Improves Your Knee, Back, and Joint Health

-Reduces Your Risk of Cancer

-Improves Your Sleep

2. She Focuses on Herself

Dannenmiller took a long break from YouTube and explained she took time off to concentrate on coaching and travel a bit, which threw off her routine, but how she’s focusing on herself. She said she was “focused on helping others” and not taking time for herself. However, she took “10 full days to be on top of everything” and got back into her workout and sleep routine.

3. She Takes Time to Recover

“Took some time off from heavy lifting to recover post show,” she wrote in an Instagram post. “Now since it's been 6 weeks I’m ready to gain weight and get stonger🍑 let’s grow!” According to University Hospitals, recovery time after a workout is vital for your body. “The whole concept of exercise is to stress or challenge your body and then let it recover. As you stress your body, it should adapt. As long as you do that repetitively and recover in between, you’re going to improve strength and fitness,” says University Hospitals pediatric sports medicine specialist Laura Goldberg, MD. “But if you don’t allow recovery, you’ll increase the risk of injury and decrease immune function, putting you at risk of illness.”

4. She Does Cold Plunges

“Best way to start the day 🔥❄️ Infrared Sauna / Cold Plunge,” she wrote in an Instagram video. Cold plunges have become a trendy wellness thing to do, but there are a lot of health benefits. According to the Mayo Clinic, “ It helps reduce the degree of exercise-induced muscle damage that can occur after physically challenging activities. Less damage leads to less inflammation, which in turn reduces soreness and helps restore physical performance the next day.”

5. She Enjoys the Outdors

From hiking to lounging around a lake, Dannenmiller enjoys spending time outside. “Miss playing around in the NC creek,” she wrote in a post while showing off her toned body in a two-piece red, barely there bikini. Being outside has a calming effect and is good for mental well-being, but it’s also great for staying in shape. According to UC Davis, “Getting out into nature can lead us to want to walk, bike, hike, or kayak more often. People typically engage in regular physical activity when they're in nature. So, stepping outside can help you keep a healthy weight or even lose weight by increasing activity levels.”

Katrin Davidsdottir was the “The Fittest Woman on Earth” in both 2015 and 2016. She is getting back into exercise after having surgery. Davidsdottir shared a video on Instagram of herself running on the treadmill. She captioned it, “LOOK WHO’S JOGGING AGAIN 😭🫶🏼 Tomorrow marks the 4 week date since my fusion surgery & I am so thankful for how well my recovery has been going! The first two weeks were BY FAR the most challenging, but these past two weeks have felt like I have taken so many steps forward!”

1. She Runs

As you could tell from her post, Davidsdottir likes to run to stay in shape. She revealed her process of getting back into running in the caption. “BEFORE anybody starts worrying: I got cleared by my surgeon to start exercising, including jogging! That actually really surprised me. The first two times I tried jogging it didn’t feel good, so I left it at that. I am really not wanting to push my body to do anything it is not ready to do. But yesterday: IT FELT GOOD ❤️☺️⚡️ It was only for 200m at a time & at a zone 2 pace but I am so proud & so happy about this improvement!”

2. She Stretches

After having surgery, Davidsdottir is doing a lot of stretching. She shared her favorites in this Instagram video. She captioned it, My training might look a little different these days, but my morning @gowod_mobilityfirst has stayed the same ✨💚This is my pre bike interval session hip opener & it feels so GOOD: - Knight to Hamstring stretch. - Pigeon stretch. - Roll quads. - Roll adductors. - Roll glutes.”

3. She Uses A Stationary Bike

Davidsdottir likes to use a stationary bike to stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself and a friend using them together. Davidsdottir captioned the post, Training partners make good workouts become GREAT ones! ✨😎🤝 10 years in & we are still pushing each other to become BETTER everyday! Fueled by @bpnsupps ⚡️G.1.M.⚡️(the perfect mixture of carbs & salts to replenish during long, sweaty bike intervals!)”

4. She Hikes

Davidsdottir likes to go hiking to stay fit. She shared these highlights on Instagram of herself and her boyfriend hiking in Iceland. Davidsdottir captioned the post, “My Canadian boyfriend showing me all around Iceland ❤️🌋This was my first time getting to join a @worldplayground experience! My plan was to join much more of the trip, but since I was still only 2 weeks out from my surgery & I wasn’t ready to do hard, long hikes .. BUT this one was relatively light & only 3.2 km each way & I didn’t want to miss out on this experience & holy smokes it didn’t disappoint (also I was so proud of my back 🥹 it was a big step in my recovery & showing myself what I can do!!!)”

5. She Lifts Weights

Davidsdottir also likes to strength train. Specifically, she likes to lift weights. Davidsdottir shared these photos on Instagram of herself in the gym. In the first one, she is seen lifting a barbell over her head. She captioned the post, “A little bit of snatches, a lot of bit of burpees 🫐💚🦋” She also shared this video of herself lifting a barbell.

Michelle Jenneke, the dynamic hurdler known for her spirited warm-up dance, has faced an unexpected hurdle of her own. Following her inspiring return to the Olympics in 2024, Jenneke encountered an injury requiring surgery. But last month, she shared a hopeful update on Instagram, captioned simply, “Back walking.” Her dedication to training shines through even amid recovery, as she revealed to Body & Soul: “I do three track sessions a week, and they can be from 2-3 hours each, which can be full on.” From intense track workouts to a balanced, protein-packed diet, Jenneke’s holistic approach to wellness keeps her grounded and resilient, showing fans that setbacks are just another obstacle on the track of life.

1. She Trains Three Times A Week

Jenneke shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with Body & Soul. In it, she shared what her training sessions on the track look like. Jenneke makes sure to do her training on a regular basis. “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.”

2. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

Jenneke also shared what her gym days look like in her Body & Soul interview. She says that she does a lot of different things to stay fit. “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. I think to myself, ‘it’s just gym, why is it so hard?”

3. She Eats Healthy

Jenneke shared her diet in her Body & Soul interview. “I actually eat a lot,” she said. “I talk to my sister, and she says she has three meals a day – sometimes two if she’s busy – and I’m like ‘I have to eat six times a 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. Lunch is pretty basic – usually I just have a sandwich – and then for dinner I like to keep it simple. I have either some pasta or some rice with meat and veggies.”

4. She Pushes Herself

Jenneke makes sure to push herself when she trains, and that means having the right mindset and attitude toward it. She talked about the approach she takes in an interview with Kate Conklin. “I fall a lot in practice. Like, every training session. I’m always trying to push myself to go faster and do better and get as close the hurtle as I can, and when you do that, you hit them… I really like it when I fall over in training…It shows me that I’m doing the right thing.”

5. She Enjoys Her Sport

Jenneke doesn’t like to let her sport take over her life, and she makes sure to still enjoy it. "I think it is quite a big commitment, but if you think about it like that it's really going to wear you down and you're going to think about it being a big commitment and how it's taking over your life and that's not the way I like to look at it," Jenneke said on the Big Sports Breakfast. "I like to look at it as the fact that I compete in the hurdles and I train all this time because I love it so I go into all those sessions just thinking, 'It's not the hard work, I'm just going out and doing what I love.' I don't really let that weigh on me, I just try to enjoy myself."

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.
