Lauren Flymen In Workout Gear Says “Fun One Using My PVC Rope”

“Learn my ways.”

Social media jump rope sensation Lauren Flymen is showing fans and followers a new skipping routine set to Madonna’s Like a Prayer. Flymen, 32, shared a video of herself wearing a red one-piece workout dress, jumping rope in her yard with headphones on and a black cap. “Fun one 💃🏼 🪢 using my pvc rope (link in bio) 🤓 learn my ways: @fancy.feats app,” she captioned the post. Flymen has made a career out of jumping rope and showing others how to do it—here’s what her wellness regimen looks like.


1. Fitness and Happiness

Flymen started jumping rope during the pandemic lockdowns. “Jump rope turned my life around in lockdown,” she told Get the Gloss. “Not only am I now the fittest I've ever been and in the best shape I've ever been, it gave me a reason to get out of bed when I wasn’t working, it gave me something to focus on, and it gave me the satisfaction of something to work towards with unlocking new skills. It kept me healthy, it connected me with people around the world and gave me a sense of togetherness.”

2. Strength Training

Flymen focused on strength training before she started to jump rope. "My cardiovascular endurance was lacking so it was a slight shock to the system taking up skipping,” she told Get the Gloss. “At first, I couldn't jump for very long without feeling exhausted. I find it so much easier now and my sessions are often up to an hour with little rest. I'd steered clear of cardio for a while because I didn't enjoy it and preferred weight lifting. Before skipping I was lifting weights four times a week so I had a level of fitness from that.”

3. Career Goals

Flymen is thrilled she gets to jump rope for a living. “When I started this, my goals were always just to learn the tricks, and those are still my goals,” she told Muscle and Health. “There are loads of skills I still want to learn. I realized skipping had become more than just a hobby when I went back to work after being furloughed, and it was so difficult to keep on top of everything going on. Shortly after that, I left my job, and now I can call skipping my full-time job, which is amazing.”

4. Sporty Spice

Flymen has a background in sports and athletics. “I am a sporty person, and I grew up doing dance and sports such as squash, netball, lacrosse and athletics so I guess I'm quite coordinated although, that said, skipping made me feel very uncoordinated at first,” she told Get the Gloss. “It's so much harder than it looks. I'm quite a determined person and hate being rubbish at things so I guess I do pick things up quickly due to this.”

5. Have Fun Working Out

Flymen knows how important it is to find exercise you genuinely enjoy. “The best fitness advice I’ve ever received was to do something you enjoy and enjoy being fit and healthy,” she told Muscle and Health. “If you don’t enjoy it, you won’t be able to sustain it and won’t want to do it every day. So, find something you love doing every day. People should start skipping for the same reason I did because it’s so much fun. And once they get started, they won’t be able to stop.”

Kayli Ann Phillips, a dynamic fitness influencer and model, inspires her vast Instagram following with rigorous weightlifting and CrossFit routines. Recently, she shared a challenging workout featuring thrusters and handstand pushups, captioning it, “💪🏽💗 playing the range of motion game 🤪 3 Rounds For Time: 12 Thrusters. 12 Handstand pushups, deficit. Men use 135lb barbell. Women use 95lb barbell.” Known for her commitment to strength and endurance, Phillips motivates her audience to embrace high-intensity training and push their physical limits.


1. She Lifts Weights

As you can see from her Instagram post, Phillips likes to lift weights to stay in shape. ACE Fitness says that doing this has a lot of benefits. “Using heavy weights increases intramuscular coordination, the number of type II motor units and the amount of muscle fibers engaged within a specific muscle. Have you ever felt your muscles shaking while lifting heavy weights? This is because you are recruiting and activating the larger type II muscle fibers, which are only stimulated to work when a muscle is challenged with heavy resistance or working to fatigue.”

2. She Jumps Rope

Phillips is seen jumping rope in this Instagram post. ACE Fitness states that jumping rope has a lot of benefits. “Jumping rope can help improve your coordination. Jumping rope is a cyclic activity, which means you perform it for a steady, regular cadence. The steady cadence and rhythm of jumping rope can help improve the coordination between your eyes, feet and hands.”

3. She Does Burpees

Phillips likes to do burpees to stay in shape. She is seen doing them in this Instagram post. The Cleveland Clinic says that the exercise has a lot of benefits. “A burpee sounds like something that should be silly. It isn’t. Burpees are brutally efficient as a workout tool, meshing cardio and strength training into an extremely high-intensity package. In seven simple movements, the exercise works your body from top to bottom. It’s a continuous-movement activity that uses the full musculature of your body, says exercise physiologist Griffin Nykor, RKin, CPT.”

4. She Runs

In the previous Instagram post, Phillips revealed that she ran 20 miles. According to FloTrack, running has a lot of benefits. “Running has proved to increase your bone mass and prevent age-related bone loss. This exercise helps build up your bones and joints. While the repeated contact between the ground can be harder on some people’s knees, running has been proved to assist in knee strength as well.”

5. She Does CrossFit

Phillips does a lot of CrossFit to stay in shape. She shared this post on Instagram of herself doing exercises. Dignity Health states that CrossFit exercises have a lot of benefits. “There's a reason CrossFit is so popular: Its workouts do a great job getting people in shape. Participants are drawn to the competitive atmosphere and camaraderie that their box's WODs foster. But CrossFit isn't just for the athletically inclined: People of all fitness levels and walks of life can participate in the training, although some WODs may need to be modified for beginners. Practitioners attribute their fast transformations to CrossFit's high-intensity and continuously changing workouts. Training consists of compound exercises to build cardiovascular endurance, strength, flexibility, speed, and balance while burning more calories per minute than traditional weight-training activities. In addition to body-weight movements, the program utilizes a variety of equipment -- from barbells and medicine balls to jump ropes and elastic bands -- as part of its daily WODs.”

The Mayo Clinic states that strength training is very beneficial. “Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories.

Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age.”

Lauren Findley is a successful influencer and fitness expert. She’s known for sharing a lot of workout videos on Instagram. Findley recently shared a set of videos of herself doing functional training. In them, she is seen doing squats with weights, wall sits, and rises. Findley captioned the post, “The goal is strong + functional!!! 🤘🏼😤 lfg happy Fridayyyy strong friends 😘⁉️ weighted wall sits actually NEVER get easier it is insane. Someone needs to study this. The burn 😩💀 omg.”


1. She Does Squats

As you can see from her Instagram post, Findley likes to do squats to stay in shape. According to Piedmont, squats have a lot of benefits. “Although the movements appear relatively simple, squats can take time to master. Joel Hardwick, ACSM EP-C, EIM2, an exercise physiologist at Piedmont Atlanta Fitness Center, says practice will pay off. Hardwick explains that squats are a compound, multi-joint movement, which means they exercise several muscle groups. When you perform a squat, you work your calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, core and part of your back.”

2. She Uses Weights

The Mayo Clinic states that strength training has a lot of benefits. “Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories. Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities.”

3. She Does Wall-Sits

Lauren Findley.3Lauren Findley/Instagram

Findley likes to do wall-sits to help her get in shape, and she is seen doing them in her Instagram videos. NASM states that the exercise has a lot of benefits. “Wall sits increase muscular endurance and joint stabilization in a squat position. They work the quads (no question there), the glutes, the calves, and the core (especially as you focus on good posture in this position!).”

4. She Runs On The Treadmill

In this video on her Instagram, Findley revealed that she likes to run on the treadmill to warm up. She captioned the post, “Uh oh. The warm-up police is here 🚨🙄 (it’s me). Let’s run through one of my upper body warm-up routines. Save this & take it with you!! :) ✔️ 5-10 minutes on the treadmill to get the blood flowin & the heart pumpin✨ nothing crazy! 3-3.5 speed, maybe a lil incline.”

5. She Works Her Upper Body

Lauren FIndley.5

In the same Instagram post, Findley shared some of her favorite upper body exercises. “✔️3-4 dynamic movements (upper body specific) - in this instance: ➖band pass through (10 reps). ➖underhand pull apart (10 reps). ➖thread the needle (5 reps per side). ➖down dog/up dog (5 reps). ✔️a LIGHTweight set of whatever exercise I’ll be doing first in the workout (example shown: if I’m training shoulders, I’ll do a shoulder press &/or lateral raise with very light weights. Take your time & breathe through each movement 🧘🏼‍♀️😮‍💨I’ll typically run through the dynamic movements 2x, and from there, I’ll still begin my workout with 1-2 sets at a lighter weight just to ensure that I’m ready to go before moving into the heavier working sets.”

Meredith Mickelson is a top model signed with IMG, known for her stunning looks and fit physique. In April, she shared an inspiring gym video on Instagram, captioned, “the best🏋️‍♀️ @aloyoga ps jump-roping without a bra wasn’t my best move.” Curious how she stays in such incredible shape? Discover 5 ways Meredith Mickelson keeps fit and see the photos that prove her methods work.


1. She Does Lunges

In her Instagram video, Mickelson is seen doing lunges. These are a great workout to do. ACE Fitness states, “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.”

2. She Strength Trains

Meredith Mickelson.3Meredith Mickelson/Instagram

Mickelson is seen using weights in her Instagram video. She is also seen using a weighted ball. The Mayo Clinic reports that workouts like this have a lot of benefits. “By stressing your bones, strength training can increase bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories.”

3. She Jumps Rope

Meredith Mickelson.1Meredith Mickelson/Instagram

Mickelson is seen jumping rope in her Instagram video. Piedmont states that jumping rope has a lot of benefits. “It’s an amazing total body exercise that engages all of the major muscle groups,” says Clinton Maclin, ACSM CEP-CPO, an exercise physiologist and safety coach at Piedmont Atlanta Fitness Center. “You can use it to warm up or as a stand-alone exercise, and it incorporates cardiovascular exercise and resistance training. When you jump rope, you work your upper body, lower body and your core because of the resistance. Walking on a treadmill works your lower body and your core, but you don't get nearly the resistance you would by using a jump rope.”

4. She Does Planks

Meredith Mickelson.2Meredith Mickelson/Instagram

Mickelson is seen doing a plank exercise in the Instagram video. Harvard Health reports that planks have a lot of benefits. “This simple move is the ideal exercise for strengthening crucial core muscles. As you go about your day, almost every move you make revolves around your core — from picking up items on the floor to twisting to see if the coast is clear when driving. Your core is made up of several muscle groups and covers your abdominals, back, hips, pelvis, and buttocks. A weak core can cause all kinds of problems. It can lead to poor posture, and inevitably to neck and shoulder pain. Sore knees and hips often can be traced to a weak core.”

5. She’s Found Acceptance In Herself

Mickelson talked about struggling with her body image in an interview with Vulkan Magazine. She says that she has learned to find acceptance in herself. “I’ve dealt with crazy body image issues, eating disorders, over working out, depression, anxiety and overwhelming amounts of need to get everyone to accept and like me when that’s never possible. It forced me to grow in ways I didn’t know were possible and gave me new depth and understanding.”

Yasmin Brunet is a model and entrepreneur with more than 7 million followers on Instagram. Why so popular? She’s fit and shows you how. “Another day, another workout,” she captioned one recent post, where she can be seen sparring with a coach. How else does the 36-year-old stay so strong? Read on for her wellness habits that you can adopt, too.


1. She Loves Her Pooch

Brunet is seen smooching a pooch in one video. “One notable benefit is that dogs force you to get up and move. One research study found that dog owners are more likely to report regular physical activity than people who don't own dogs. Activities associated with dog ownership, like feeding, grooming, playing and letting them outside, all increase physical activity levels. Physical activity improves blood flow, induces muscle contraction and reduces joint stiffness,” says the Mayo Clinic.

2. She Uses Battle Ropes

“Battle Rope training allows for safe and effective ways to train force production in all three planes of motion, as an integral part of any well-rounded strength and conditioning program,” says NASM. If you are looking for a tool that recruits multiple core musculature in movements, then the Battle Rope is that tool. High to moderate levels of activation have been found in obliques, erector spinae, and gluteus medius (Calatayud, 2015).”

3. She Does Squats With Kettlebells

“Kettlebell training is a flexible and useful strategy for improving players' performance in a variety of sports. It adds value to athlete training programs by enhancing strength, power, endurance, explosive power, and postural coordination,” says one study.

4. She Does Crunches

Yasmin BrunetYasmin Brunet/Instagram

Before boxing, Brunet does some light crunches on an stability ball. To get set up, “sit on a properly inflated stability ball (one that compresses approximately 6" under your body weight) with your feet flat on the floor. Slowly lean backwards while walking yourself out along the ball until your shoulders, back and tailbone make contact on the ball. Adjust your leg position to create a 90 degree bend at the knees with your thighs parallel to the floor and positioned hip-width apart, and feet facing forward with your weight distributed evenly through your feet. Your mid-back should be positioned on the top of the ball (at 12 o'clock) and your hips should be positioned at 2 o'clock,” says ACE Fitness.

5. She Boxes

“The calories you burn during boxing can help you maintain or achieve a healthy weight,” says the Cleveland Clinic. “One study compared boxing training versus moderate-intensity walking in people with a body mass index (BMI) of greater than 25 (which is considered having overweight/obesity). The researchers noted reductions in BMI, waist circumference and body fat percentage in the boxing group, while the walking group showed no changes.”

Kristin Cavallari is a reality TV and fashion icon. Since she debuted on Laguna Beach, people have clamoured for her fashion and beauty secrets. Cavallari recently shared her eye makeup secrets on Instagram, after several people asked for them. She captioned the post, “This is for the girlies in my DMs asking about this eye every time I do it. Sorry the lighting is awful. I also don’t know why the audio isn’t in sync for half of it 🫣 but here ya go 💗”

She's Less Strict With Her Diet

Cavallari has written several cookbooks, and they have changed as her diet has changed. While promoting her book, Truly Simple with EatingWell, she revealed that her diet is less strict. “I've gotten to a point in my life where not everything has to be so perfect anymore,” Cavallari said. “I used to be so strict about what I was putting in my body. I'm still very healthy and very conscious of it, but I've gotten a little bit more lax. True Roots and True Comfort had nothing ‘white’ in them: no white flour, no white sugar, no white salt. But in Truly Simple, I bend a little bit in a few of the recipes, which really reflects where I am in my life and my new way of eating. Everything is a little bit more relaxed around here now.’

She Loves Cauliflower

Cavallari tells EatingWell that she loves making foods with cauliflower. “I love cauliflower because I think it's very versatile, and there's actually a Sweet Harissa Cauliflower recipe in Truly Simple that's my absolute favorite cauliflower recipe on the planet. If you've ever been to True Food Kitchen, their cauliflower was the inspiration behind it. There's this sweet harissa dressing that's on it, and there's little chopped-up dates in it, so it has that nice balance between sweet and savory. It's the absolute best.”

She Loves Salad

Cavallari likes to make salads. She shared one of her favorite recipes with EatingWell. “This salad has a few of my favorite things: salmon (which has omega-3s and is so, so good for you), bacon (no explanation needed), avocado (healthy fats), and spicy tomatillo ranch dressing (just yum). Together, they create culinary heaven. If you aren't familiar with tomatillos, they're similar to tomatoes but are slightly less sweet and are perfect when drenched in ranch.”

She Works With A Trainer

Cavallari tells Us Weekly that a lot of her gym sessions are with her personal trainer. “He kicks my ass,” she says. “He pushes me really hard. He has me actually lifting really heavy weight, the heaviest weight I’ve ever lifted in my entire life. I feel the best I ever have. I feel like I’m the strongest I’ve ever been.”

She Shared Her Eye Makeup Trick

Cavallari shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with Us Weekly. She says that consistency is one of her biggest priorities. “My goal is sort of, right now, just to maintain the muscle that I have,” she says. “I’m really petite. I have no hips. I’m just small. And so if I don’t work out for like a week or two, I feel like all my muscle goes away. So it is about consistency for me.”

Rebeca Andrade is an Olympic gymnast. She is the most decorated Olympic athlete from Brazil, having won two gold medals, three silvers, and a bronze. Andrade recently shared some highlights of her native Brazil on Instagram. In some of them, she posed in a swimsuit while wading. Andrade captioned the post, “SC-&-RS🏕️🌅❤️ Being free is a paradox. It's committing to the life you want, without running away from the work that it entails. It's building freedom every day, with conscious choices and, mainly, with the acceptance that freedom is not the absence of limits, but the autonomy to know which ones are worth it and which ones are not. Being free is being willing to carry the weight of your own life and still find it funny.”

She Swims

In her Instagram post, Andrade is seen swimming. The Cleveland Clinic says that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Swimming takes much less of a toll on your body than, say, running or riding a bike. That’s because exercising in water lessens the impact of your body weight on your joints.”

She Does Gymnastics

Gymnastics is the main way Andrade stays in shape. British Gymnastics states that the sport has a lot of benefits. “When you take part in gymnastics, or any sport for that matter, your body releases chemicals called endorphins. These also help to trigger a positive feeling in the body which can have a positive impact on your happiness and mental wellbeing. This can help to combat feelings of anxiety and depression.”

She Prioritizes Safety

Andrade talked about her training approach in an interview with the Olympics website. She says that she and her coach prioritize her safety, and that she will skip floor sessions if she isn’t able to do it. "I talk a lot with my coach and we trust in each other. We always try to be really safe, and do floor in the correct moments. He believes in me. I'm never going to lie to not do it. So, when I really tell him that I can't do it, it's because I cannot and he always respects that.”

She Sets Goals

In her Olympics website interview, Andrade talked about her commitment and goal setting. Specifically, she talked about her goal to make the Olympic team. “The other [goal], which is the main one, is for us to qualify as a team,” Andrade said. “I think it will be very important for me, for my team, and the focus is on that, whatever happens there, the result is a consequence of our work, of our commitment. But I really want to be there with my team and be happy and healthy.”

She Cooks

Andrade makes sure to eat healthy. She also likes to cook a lot of her own meals. She shared some of her favorite things to make in an interview with NPR. “There was one that was with potatoes and cheese, chicken. There’s cake. There’s cookies. A lot of things.”

Brandi Glanville has never been one to hold back, whether on reality TV or her unfiltered podcast. Best known for her time on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills, the US and UK versions of Celebrity Big Brother, and The Traitors, Glanville always speaks her mind. Her podcast, Brandi Glanville Unfiltered, recently stirred up some drama when she called out Real Housewives stars for struggling on The Traitors and suggested the show stop casting them. Many fans saw this as subtle shade toward Phaedra Parks, who excelled in the previous season.

Beyond the headlines, Glanville has shared glimpses into her personal wellness routine, from skincare secrets to unconventional self-care methods. Here’s a look at how she stays feeling and looking her best.

She Uses Eye Patches

One thing that Glanville does to take care of her skin is use under-eye patches. In this Instagram post, she revealed the brand she used on Celebrity Big Brother. Glanville captioned it, “One of the #1 questions we get from fans since leaving #bigbrother is what brand of under eye patches were we wearing constantly on the show...The answer is @peterthomasrothofficial!! They are amaze! #ThanksMarissa 💋 (Blogging about all the products, will be posting on @bbeautyunfltrd soon).”

She Walks

Glanville likes to walk her dogs to keep herself in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself and her pup walking in Los Angeles. Glanville captioned the post, “On our way to do some podcasting.” Harvard Health says that walking is very beneficial. “Walking can help protect you during cold and flu season. A study of over 1,000 men and women found that those who walked at least 20 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week, had 43% fewer sick days than those who exercised once a week or less. And if they did get sick, it was for a shorter duration, and their symptoms were milder.”

She Has A Dog

As you can see from the previous Instagram post, Glanville has pet dogs. And according to Harvard Health, this can be beneficial. “A growing body of solid research shows that owning a dog can: provide companionship, help you be more active, make kids calmer, more secure, and more responsible, improve the lives of older individuals, help you be calmer, more mindful, and more present in your life, make you more social and less isolated, ease stress.”

She Worked With A Breath Coach

Glanville revealed to Us Weekly that she works with a breath coach to help with her mental health. “I’m still doing cosmetic stuff, but at the same time trying to fix myself. I eat better and breathe and actually exercise. I’m getting there. I just started with this journey, but I can actually do things. My body can do things now that I couldn’t do five years ago.”

She Uses CellSound

Glanville revealed to People that she used the CellSound treatment on her stomach. "I mean, to be honest, I haven't worn a crop top in years, and I literally feel comfortable going out in a crop top, which is so bizarre," she says. "Not that I feel like everyone should do that, but I can go work out with a crop top on and not feel like I have my mommy stomach and I shouldn't sit down. So it's definitely empowered me in that aspect."
