Megan Grubb is a weightlifter and a fitness influencer. She even has her own app. Grubb shared her recent workout on Instagram. She captioned the post, “Today’s session was a workout from my new Summer Bootcamp I’ve just dropped in my app @beyondapp. A 30 minute high intensity lifting burst. As you can see I did this with homemade weights (a bag full of books for a barbell and water bottles for dumbbells) but you can do this at the gym too with the weights!! That’s the beauty of the bootcamp, you really can do it anywhere and adding in weights or homemade alternatives like this really will intensify your workout that little bit more.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Megan Grubb stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.
1. She Appreciates All Types Of Workouts
In her post’s caption, Grubb revealed that she has learned to appreciate any type of workout, and that it doesn’t matter how long it is. “Now I’ve realised how for years if it wasn’t my typical full on leg day or upper day, it was only half a workout in my head. Which is sooo not true!! And it feels so nice to appreciate different forms of movement so much more now. Whether it’s a run, a lifting session at the gym, a cycle on the peloton or a home style workout they ALL count as a full on workout.”
2. She Enjoys Working Out
Grubb says that she enjoys working out, and that helps her stay consistent. She revealed in this post that she worked out while she was pregnant. “Feel so so sooo lucky to have been able to continue to move throughout my pregnancy and fill my body with endorphins, energy, strength and power. Exercise makes me feel so happy and makes me feel like me, I’ve never been more grateful for my body being able to move + grow my little baby too 🤍Don’t get me wrong, training throughout pregnancy is 10000% not for everyone - it’ll depend on your symptoms, if you’re high risk and what you did prior to being pregnant so I in no way want this to make any mamas feel pressured but.. If you can and you WANT to, keep going and keep moving that bod mama.”
3. She Strength Trains
Grubb likes to lift weights. She is seen doing so in the previous Instagram post. ACE Fitness states that lifting weights has a lot of benefits. “Lifting heavy weights elevates levels of anabolic hormones—specifically testosterone, growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1)—which are used to repair muscle fibers damaged during exercise. This helps the muscle fibers to become thicker and capable of generating higher levels of force.”
4. She Runs
Grubb revealed in this Instagram post that she has started running to stay fit. She captioned it, “3 months ago i decided to start my running journey. I wanted to feel the buzz, the runners high and see if I could figure out integrating it into weightlifting. Weightlifting makes me feel confident and powerful. But running brings in a different kind of a high, a period of time to get fully into a playlist and feel a new rush - you can do it anywhere, at any time, there’s no limit; it sparked a new kind of joy in me and has made me feel my best mentally but also physically I’ve seen the most progress in SO long.”
5. She Meal Preps
Grubb makes sure to eat healthy. One of her secrets is meal prepping. She shares a lot of her favorite meals on Instagram. In this post, Grubb made some protein-heavy foods. She captioned the post, “What I meal prepped this week 💞🎀✨ 🤍 halloumi + sweet chilli jam flatbread. 🤍 mexican prawn bowl with black bean salsa. 🤍 berry cheesecake overnight oats All from @thegoodbite high protein meal prep cook book! Soooo handy having yummy meals ready to grab in the fridge.”
