Mackenzie Foy in Workout Gear Says Hi From Skull Canyon

Mackenzie Foy is going zip lining – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the Black Beauty star shows off her amazing body in exercise clothes during a day of adventure at a Corona, California adventure park. “Had a great time at @skullcanyonziplines today!!” she captioned the post. How does the star approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Horseback Riding

Mackenzie first started with equestrian sports while filming The Nutcracker. “I actually did a lot of stunts and stuff, which was really fun. I did horse training, which was awesome, and I went to this place- it’s called The Devil’s Horseman; they’re film horses, and so they’re proper stunt people. It was really, really cool being with these horses. It’s what you think of the English countryside- that’s what it looked like there. And so it was actually amazing training outside on these beautiful horses. It was crazy,” she told Not Quite Susie. Obviously it came in handy for Black Beauty, and now her feed is filled with photos and videos of herself riding. According to the American Heart Association, riding horses is great for your health. Not only does it boost cardiovascular health, but builds core strength, burns calories, and lowers blood pressure. It is also great for your mental health as it helps relax you.

2. Martial Arts

Mackenzie is a big fan of martial arts. “Working on self defense with my brother @tkd_bayley_foy,” she captioned a post. Studies confirm that the practice helps with balance, cognitive function and psychological health in addition to weight loss and physical fitness.

3. Coffee

Mackenzie is a coffee drinker. “Throwback to one of my first days on black beauty when I was jet-lagged, covered in dirt, and ridiculously happy☺️ 🐎,” she captioned a post of herself with a cup in hand. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

4. Hiking

When she has time off, you can find Mackenzie hiking. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

• Building stronger muscles and bones
• Improving your sense of balance
• Improving your heart health
• Decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems

5. Walking

Mackenzie, a dog owner, takes her pooch on lots of walks. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, especially at a brisk speed. 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.

1. Her Body Changed After Her Pregnancy

Mackenzie, who gave birth to her daughter Moa in 2019, maintains that her body hasn’t been the same since. “My pregnancy kind of restarted my whole body,” she told the New York Post. “I had a really high fat percentage before I got pregnant. And then breastfeeding and Moa getting [bigger] inside of me, she took a lot of my body fat. I lost a lot of muscle during my pregnancy, but I was almost able to start from zero again. … But then, just staying focused and seeing how I didn’t want to get back to where I was before. I’m way more focused. I want to win my fights. I want to do good. I want to have good performances. And having someone depend on you, my daughter, it’s not just me. … I’m getting muscle, I’m working my strength training, and I’m keeping my body fat low. I’m in a way better place now, thankfully.”

2. She Surfs

Mackenzie is an avid surfer. She regularly shares photos and videos of herself surfing. She revealed to the New York Post that her ideal day would be to “Wake up. Go surf then after get a tan. Just relax on the beach tanning. I like to just lay in the sun,” she said. Then, she would eat sushi, go home, and take a nap. “And all this with my family; Moa and my husband together. Wake up. Go for a walk with the dogs. Go watch the sunset. Maybe go to a Brazilian barbecue at night with the family, have some steak.”

3. She Does Functional Training

“I dedicated myself 100 percent, but my training was different than before,” Mackenzie told Women’s Health about how she changed her approach to fitness after becoming a mom. “I did more functional training, focusing on movements with dumbbells and cables, to improve my speed and reaction time.”

4. She Adheres to a Strict Diet

Mackenzie has to adhere to a strict diet so she can fight. “I can tell you 10,000 excuses but I really believe what happened with my weight was way back months ago in my last fight. I think it’s my diet, I need to get my diet right,” Dern explained at a UFC 224 post fight press conference after failing to make weight.

5. She Jumps Rope

You don’t need expensive workout equipment to stay in shape! Here Mackenzie trained with only a jump rope. “One step closer everyday! One more battle coming! Always believe in yourself! Be your biggest supporter! No one else can do the work for you, it’s your dream, it’s your hard work! “ she added in a motivational caption.

MMA fighter Aspen Ladd is ready to rumble—you can tell by counting the abs on her stomach. Ladd, 29, shared a picture of herself posing in red yoga pants and a purple shirt, showing off impressive abdominal muscles in preparation for her fight. “You can usually tell how close to a fight I am , based on how many abs I have 😂 the current answer is, ‘very close’,” she captioned the post. Here’s how Ladd stays strong, fit, focused, and ready for the ring.

1. Hiking With the Pups

Ladd loves to hike with her pups (and doesn’t mind doing some heavy lifting in the process). “We all need a little help sometimes 🙂 this is on today’s 11.5 mile hike. Kaia needs help to cross fast moving water like this ( she will be 14 this summer). It's a privilege to still have old girl as my adventure buddy and enjoying her wild self ❤️,” she captioned an Instagram post.

2. 5 Mile Runs In the Mountains

Ladd goes running in the Sierra Nevada Mountains with her dogs. “5 miles of running and a whole bunch of playing is good for the soul …especially on Thursday before evening training. Because Thursdays are ROUGH usually. Balance ⚖️,” she captioned an Instagram post.

3. Scrubbing Down the Mats

Ladd likes to cool down after training by cleaning the mat herself. “Rate our mat scrubbing skills,” she captioned a funny video. “This gym is a funk free zone 🙅‍♀️ it’s luck of the draw who scrubs them down after each practice ( usually the last ones in the gym) ….but I never mind and it’s a nice cool down after some real good sparring rounds tonight.”

4. Respect For Nature

Ladd is aware the mountains can be dangerous, always has her two German Shepherd dogs with her for protection when she’s hiking. “A beautiful 8 mile loop near my home. It’s always crazy to me when I see people out solo hiking or running. No dogs no other people, headphones in …just livin on hope 😂,” she captioned an Instagram post. “For example, just tonight in 8 miles my dogs alerted that there was some kind of predator near by on 5 separate occasions. Could be anything from a coyote to a bear 🐻 I never know until I find prints of scat . 2 weeks ago it was a cougar. How do I know it’s a predatory animal, you may ask? Easy , my dogs spend so much time out in the mountains with me that I know based on their different reactions.”

5. Recovery Workouts

Ladd switches up her training when to deal with injuries while still staying active. I tweaked my back pretty good at the end of last week, and it’s not quite up to chucking humans around yet 🤼‍♀️,” she captioned a video. “So my coach gave me a less body wrecking assignment to do tonight, and give the back one more day to recover.

Warm up / stretch for 1 mile

Then

Run 1 mile

Shadow box 5 minutes

Repeat ✖️3

Visualize opponents/ scenarios the whole time and practice what we’ve been drilling. It’s a great low stress workout for anyone wanting to try 🙂.”

Mackenzie McKee is enjoying the beautiful winter sunshine in Florida, one of the few places you can rock a bathing suit even in February. McKee shared a picture of herself happily posing in a pink swimsuit and big straw hat. “Lord I thank you for Sunshine 🌞 #floridaliving,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways McKee stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. Fasted Cardio

McKee has type 1 diabetes, and takes insulin every day after writing out her daily goals. “I make a list of how I can work on each and every one of those goals daily,” she says. “I then do my first finger poke of the day checking my blood sugar. I take my first insulin shot of the day and head to my at home gym room and do 40 minutes to an hour of morning fasting cardio. Fasting cardio means cardio on an empty stomach.”

2. Eggs and Fruit For Breakfast

McKee says breakfast usually consists of one egg, 4 ounces of egg whites, 1 tbsp salsa, 1/3 cup oats, and 1/2 cup blueberries. “Eggs are one of the best dietary sources of choline,” says registered nutritionist Jo Lewin. “This little talked about nutrient is needed by every one of us for the formation of cell membranes and for brain function, including memory. It’s especially important during pregnancy and breastfeeding, when an adequate supply of choline is essential for normal brain development.”

3. Protein and Avocado For Lunch

A typical lunch for McKee is 4 ounces of white fish or chicken, 2 ounces of avocado, and 2 cups of greens. “Avocados are an excellent source of monounsaturated fat and vitamin E, and are a good source of folate,” Lewin says. “They also supply more soluble fiber than other fruit and contain a number of useful minerals including iron, copper and potassium.”

4. Evening Workouts

As a fitness model and influencer, McKee frequently works out more than once a day. “The two gyms I train at are my sister's gym, which is kid friendly, or my own home gym,” she says. “My gym is mainly a studio for filming my workout videos and hers has everything I need. I do go to a big gym and work with my trainer here and there just so he can make sure I am doing everything right and give me tips/advice. I also do posing practice at this time. Most of the time I'm training at a home gym while my kids are running around me. I do a different body part every day and I rest on weekends. Actually, I am pretty active, but I do not do my regular training on the weekends.”

5. Sharing Her Workout Routine

Here is a typical workout plan from McKee:

“Monday= Legs.

Tuesday= Back and Shoulders.

Wednesday= Butt (Happy Hump Day).

Thursday= Arms.

Friday= Body parts I feel need the most work, and a lot of abs. 

I incorporate abs in my daily workouts, but those are mainly made in the kitchen.”

Alison Brie is celebrating a major milestone in her fitness journey. The Mad Men actress, 41, shared pictures of herself wearing black leggings and a gray sports bra, holding gold ‘100’ balloons that were presented to her as a surprise congratulations. “Celebrated 100 classes @formapilatesla with surprise balloons!! (and a killer ab and glute series🥵😛) Thanks for the time under tension, gals!” she captioned the post. Here’s what Brie’s health and wellness routine looks like in her 40s.

1. Working Out To Feel Good

Brie notices a difference in her mood when she doesn’t exercise. “On days that I work out, I feel good—I feel confident I feel strong and calm,” she told Well+Good. "On days that I don't work out I feel a little untethered and a little grouchy, so it's a real priority to me, no matter where I am. I've done workouts in my trailer at work when I had a 30 minute break. I just feel like, it's good to find that time. It's good for your health, and it's good for your mind.”

2. Rise Nation and Peloton

Brie likes doing Rise Nation and Peloton workouts in Los Angeles, and Devin Wiggins and Claire P. Thomas when she wants to do an at-home workout. "I seldom do the exact thing that they're doing,” she told Well+Good. “But I kind of look at it, and mix and match those with a running list that I already keep in my phone of certain exercises that I can do on my own.”

3. Glow Training

Training for her role as Ruth Wilder in GLOW took Brie’s fitness to another level. "I have never considered myself an athletic person until I started working on GLOW. We do a month of wrestling training before shooting every season of GLOW," she told ET. "That's all of the women in the ring. Three hours a day, five days a week. And that was also incredibly empowering. Learning that your body is capable of so much more than you ever expected is pretty life-changing for me."

4. Food Is Not the Enemy

Brie changed her approach to fitness, now focusing on being strong and healthy over being as small as possible. “More than anything, I think, [with] my trainers, we honed in on healthy eating and not considering food the enemy,” she told ET. “ So it's much better for me to do something, have a lifestyle where I live in a healthy way and I work out in a way that makes me feel strong and powerful and I eat food. But I eat healthy food and sometimes I eat unhealthy food and it's fine."

5. Self-Care Routine

Brie uses Epsom salts and CBD to relax. "For muscle recovery, Epsom salts and CBD are a big part of my routine," she told Well+Good. "My husband [actor Dave Franco] and I usually will take a lazy Sunday. We're very serious about our lazy Sundays—the goal is to not leave the house at all. We do next to nothing."
