Former WWE star Natalie Eva Marie may not be competing in the ring anymore but she’s still a champion when it comes to her workouts. Marie, 39, shared a video of herself wearing black leggings and blue shirt, going for a 4-mile run with her dog. “Me and the beast got some miles in this morning 🏃🏻‍♀️🐺 and finished with a hill sprint 🥵. Sprint uphill with a Belgian Malinois and that will humble u reallll quick 😭🚀. Health is wealth!! Who got their sweat on today?!” she captioned the post. Here’s what Marie does to stay—literally!—fighting fit.

1. Meditation and Cardio

Marie gets up between 4.30-5.30 a.m. to start her day in peace and quiet. She starts the day by taking her dogs out, making coffee, meditation, and prayer. Then it’s time to work out. “I will always do some sort of cardio, whether that’s walking, boxing, jumping rope, or going on a run,” she told Ryderwear. “Health and fitness is super important to me, not only from being an athlete my entire life, but I also truly believe health is wealth. If I'm not healthy then I can’t do all the things I love. After my cardio session I will shower and get ready for the day.”

2. HIIT and Weight Training

Marie always does some strength exercises as part of her workout routine. “When I train I always do a form of weightlifting and then HIIT (High Intensity Interval Training),” she told Ryderwear. “On my subscription site, you get my workout of the day and always see a combination of both. We are all super busy with life and everything else we have going on which is why I really love HIIT training because you’re able to get amazing results in the least amount of time, making workouts super efficient.”

3. Changing Up Workouts

Marie says she changed her workouts after leaving the pro wrestling world. “In WWE, I focused more on Olympic lifting,” she told GQ. “I had to make sure that I was physically able to lift another human being at all times. Now, I’m going for a different, leaner look. High-intensity interval training and Tabata workouts are really good for me, because they prevent me from getting bored, and don't require me to be in the gym for two hours. I can get in, do what I need to do, and get out.”

4. Egg Sandwich For Fast Breaking

Marie practices intermittent fasting and usually breaks her fast with a homemade breakfast sandwich. “Right now I’m intermittent fasting which means I fast for 16 hours and then eat during my eight hour window, so I usually don’t have my first meal till 1.00 p.m.,” she told Ryderwear. “I had a 15 minute break so my first meal of the day is an egg sandwich. It’s a pretty simple meal, with two pieces of sourdough toast and two whole eggs, with an additional two egg whites.”

5. Cheat Day Champion

Marie is Mexican-Italian, and never turns down her mother’s home-cooked food. “I should just honestly film my cheat day because people would be impressed by how much food I can put down,” she told GQ. “When my husband and I first started dating, I had just started my WWE tryouts—I think I was in my third week. I went over to his place and he made banana pancakes. I really liked them, so he asked ‘Do you want another one?’ That kept going, and I swear I put down about 20 of them. I was training at the time, but also, they were that good. I do not play around when it comes to cheat days.”

WWE Star Natalya Neidhart gives the same energy to training as she does when fighting in the ring—no wonder she’s such a force to be reckoned with. Neidhart, 41, shared an intense picture of herself wearing black shorts and a sports bra, holding on to ropes. “My home away from home. @thedungeon2.0,” she captioned the post. Neidhart has developed a fantastic training and diet routine over the years—here’s how she does it.

1. No Crazy Workouts

Neidhart’s workouts are balanced and doable. “I don’t do crazy amounts of cardio. I don’t lift extremely heavy weights. I don’t beat myself up if I have a cheat meal,” she told Bar Bend. “If I can only get to the gym three days a week, that’s fine. If I get to the gym six days a week, that’s even better. I used to beat myself up if I had a cheat meal. The next day I’d be doing crazy amounts of cardio trying to burn off what I ate the night before. Now, I feel like I’ve taken all that pressure off myself.”

2. Clean and Jerk

Neidhart focuses on Olympic lifting at the gym, with her favorite move being the clean and jerk. “You’re lifting weight off the ground and you’re throwing it up, so you’re giving your body a whole-body workout,” she told PEOPLE. “And it definitely imitates us throwing people down in the ring!”

3. Training For the Fight

Neidhart’s preparation for competitions is understandably intense. “The days leading up to Wrestlemania we really watch what we eat, and I hit the gym no matter what,” she told PEOPLE. “When you’re walking out in front of 70,000 people you want to look your absolute best, because it’s not just those people that are watching you live, it’s 170-plus countries around the globe that are tuning in.”

4. Food Journal

Neidhart keeps track of her food for accountability. “When I kept the food journal in my iCloud notes, it really made me more accountable,” she told Bar Bend. “Then I would try to cut off my eating past 8 p.m. It really helped me lose weight and keep it off. I don’t need to have anything big and heavy past 8 p.m., and then when I’m on the road and wrestling, I try to keep that same thing in mind. If I need something after a match I’ll have a protein shake, or some cottage cheese, or a Greek yogurt.”

5. Supplement Queen

Neidhart is a big fan of taking supplements for health and beauty. “I’m always looking for really good supplements for my hair, for my skin, for my nails, and for my brain,” she told Bar Bend. “I love fueling my body with the best of the best. I’ve only had one surgery in 16 years. I’ve been wrestling for 16 uninterrupted years in the company, and I feel like all these vitamins and supplements help me so much. They keep bones and ligaments strong.”

Karmen Petrovic is a wrestler with NXT. She recently shared a set of photos on Instagram. In the first photo, she is seen wearing a black two-piece set of workout gear. Petrovic’s impressive figure was on display. Petrovic captioned the post, “A collection of moments.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Karmen Petrovic stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Wrestles

Wrestling is the main way Petrovic stays in shape. CarmelUSAWrestling.org states that the sport has a lot of benefits. “Wrestling inherently provides a full-body workout that recruits all of your muscle fibers, tendons, and ligaments, enhancing your overall physical condition naturally over time. Regular wrestling training promotes strength, agility, and cardiovascular endurance, making it the best available approach to getting in shape and bolstering your health.”

2. She Does Squats

Petrovic shares a lot of workout videos on TikTok. In this one, she’s seen doing Bulgarian split squats. According to Gymless.org, the exercise has a lot of benefits. “This is a unilateral exercise that puts emphasis on the front leg and it is performed by placing the supporting foot on an elevated, stable structure behind the body. A 2021 study suggests that Bulgarian split squats are great for both performance enhancement and rehabilitation from injury. Furthermore, many athletic skills rely on fundamental lower-body movements that are performed in a unilateral fashion (e.g.: jumping, sprinting, and changing in direction).”

3. She Strength Trains

In her TikTok, Petrovic is seen holding dumbbells while doing squats. The Mayo Clinic states that strength training has a lot of health 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.”

4. She Goes To The Beach

Petrovic loves to go to the beach. She shared these photos of herself enjoying time in Aruba. Petrovic captioned the post, “Gave my katana some well-deserved rest.” MedIndia.net reports that going to the beach has a lot of benefits. “Spending time under the blue sky, experiencing the fresh air, admiring the sound and smell of splashing ocean waves, peacefully relaxing under the sunshine and feeling the warm sand beneath your toes can do magical wonders to your health and well-being. A day at the seaside can cause changes in your brain that make you feel happier, more relaxed, and full of energy. So, make sure you visit the beach to gain these amazing health benefits for healthy mind, soul, and body.”

5. She Stretches

Petrovic makes sure to stretch. In this TikTok, she is seen doing the popular handstand stretch on a wall. Harvard Health states that stretching has a lot of benefits. “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”
