Natalie Eva Marie In Workout Gear Gets “Humbled Real Quick” on 4 Mile Run

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 is showing the intense training routine she credits for her health, strength, and recovery. Neidhart, 42, shared a video of herself wearing a gray one-piece exercise outfit, using heavy weights in her garage. “The secret is to outwork everyone 🤫,” she captioned the post. “Ready for your dark side to come out on Raw. They are not giving you your props. Time to be the She Hulk,” a fan commented. Here’s what’s next for the popular fighter.

1. Pain-Free Thanks to Training

Neidhart credits her good physique to putting in the work with her training. “As time goes on, I feel like I’m really and excited about what I’m doing and where I’m going,” she told Toronto Sun. “Sometimes I wake up and wonder when I am going to feel that feeling like my knees hurt. I’ve been so lucky. I wake up and feel almost pain free. I attribute my health, my actual physical health, to really incredible training because I still train every single week.”

2. Push Through the Pain

Neidhart says wrestling is a painful hobby. “You do have to push through the pain to decide whether you like it,” she told Toronto Sun. “You have to find out whether the risk is worth the reward, so to speak. For me, when I first started doing it, it definitely did hurt physically, but I found that because I enjoyed it so much, mentally and physically, I felt like I recovered quickly and started to develop a tolerance for the pain. I was able to build a thick skin pretty fast, especially in the Dungeon.”

3. Fan Favorite

Neidhart loves positive feedback from the fans. “When we have opportunities we have to nail those performances and I feel like every time I have gotten an opportunity to have a championship match like I did last year with Rhea Ripley on Raw, I felt extremely proud of that match,” she said on the Gorilla Position podcast. “We did really great ratings with it and it was very, very well-received. I remember feeling so happy with that and being every time I am given an opportunity I have to nail it because I want to be able to prove to the people who make the decisions about my career that I can go and that I can hang.”

4. Redefining Success

Neidhart is philosophical about her career so far. “I’ve learned to redefine success in this industry,” she told Toronto Sun. “It’s not always about who has the most championships. Sometimes, success is having your health, your relationship and being able to have something to show for yourself. Attaining longevity while cultivating the future of our industry, like the pat your head and rub your stomach trick. How do you have success here and then cultivate the future? I feel like I’ve found that.”

5. Always the Bridesmaid

Neidhart is ready to take on new roles in WWE. “The company looks at me like a steady, stable foundation for so many different reasons but for me, it is okay to want more and say ‘Hey, I want to be the bride.’ I don’t mind being the bridesmaid but sometimes I want to be the bride,” she said on the Gorilla Position podcast. “I am confident that 2024 is going to be a huge year of growth for me for so many different reasons. I am working on so many different projects right now that are really exciting and I am over the moon about them.”

Natalie Anderson is heating up Hawaii in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the Survivor winner shows off her amazing body in a bathing suit while vacationing in the tropics. “#JeepLife in Hawaii,” she captioned the Instagram video. How does the reality star maintain her amazing body? Celebwell rounded up her top lifestyle habits and everything she has said about her health.

1. Survivor “Wrecked” Her Body

After winning Survivor and returning from the experience, Natlie told CBS News that it had a major impact on her health. "My hair was falling out. I lost all my muscle. I was so frail," she confessed.

2. She Ate Poorly When She Returned

Once she returned to civilization Natalie indulged in junk food like Krispy Kreme and Chick-fil-A, eating donuts and fried chicken. One day she joined fellow contestant Jeremy Collins for a cheeseburger sandwiched between two grilled cheese sandwiches. "Now when I think about it, it's so gross!" she said.

3. She Does CrossFit

Natalie’s workout of choice? CrossFit. She loves the workout so much she became a coach. CrossFit is a form of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) that focuses on improving strength, endurance, and body composition. However, it can result in injury if not done properly. The involvement of well-educated coaches decreases the injury rate.

4. She Follows the Paleo Diet

Natalie sticks to a Paleo diet, aka the “caveman” diet. It consists of lean meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds and overall, choosing low-glycemic fruits and vegetables.

5. She Runs

Natalie also runs. She recently shared her 5k running workout on the treadmill. She did a 1200 meter in 3 minutes, a 600 in 2.5 minutes, a 400 in 2 minutes, and a 300 in 1.5 minutes. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

Natalya is making the most of the cold snap in Florida – in her swimsuit. In a recent social media post the WWE stunner flaunts her incredible body in a bathing suit during a sunbathing session. “The Florida Files: it’s chilly out!” she captioned the Instagram post, referencing the unusually cold January in “The Sunshine State.” Her followers went wild. “Beautiful and sexy,” commented one. “You look sensational,” added another. How does the wrestler approach diet and exercise? Celebwell has the details on all of her health habits.

1. Workout Buddies

Natalya is as “guilty as anyone of procrastinating when I don’t have a set schedule to follow. For me, I need accountability, which is why I grab a partner,” she told Calgary Sun. “My mom, sister, friends, my husband, heck even my cat have all joined me for some pretty awesome workouts! When you have a partner and your sweat session is like an appointment you have to ‘show up for,’ you won’t miss a workout! These are tools I use to keep me on track, when life sometimes life feels ‘out of our hands.’”

2. Running and Walking

Natalya doesn’t need a gym to exercise. “There’s also nothing like throwing on a pair of sneakers, hitting the ground running (or walking!), and exploring a new trail or bike path. My favorite place in the world to run outside is along the Bow River when I’m visiting Calgary. It has a heavenly view of the Rocky Mountains. I can’t wait until I can go back to Calgary and explore my favorite trails once again.”

3. Switching Up Workouts

Natalya explains that you need to mix up your workout routine if you want to continue seeing results. “It’s not always about survival of the fittest, it’s often more about who can adapt to the changes in front of them. And trust me, your body always adapts. That is why you have to keep it fun so your body never gets used to the same things and you see better results,” she told the Calgary Sun.

4. Eating When She Is Hungry and Resting When She Is Tired

“I remember former WWE Champion Drew McIntyre giving me fitness advice many years ago that’s stuck with me today. ‘Trust the process. Trust your body. Trust yourself!’” Natalya told the Calgary Sun. “I’ve found that I get better results by listening to my body. When I’m hungry, I eat. When I’m tired, I rest.”

5. Strict Diet

Natalya takes her diet very seriously.“The thing about WWE is we’re on year-round, there’s no off-season. So bodybuilders can diet down for a show, and then eat normally, but we have to maintain our physiques 365 days a year,” she says. “And 90 percent of the struggle is in the diet. I love to exercise, but you can’t out work a bad diet. If you’re not eating properly, than you’re definitely not going to look your best,” she told People.

6. Strength and Weight Training

Natalya/Instagram

Natalya’s go-to exercises are squats, lunges, and Olympic lifts, clean and jerks, push presses, deadlifts, and snatches. However, her favorite gym move is heavy squats. "These exercises help me so much with my in ring performance because I use my legs a lot for strength," she revealed to Women’s Health. "When I power-bomb [fellow Superstar] Charlotte Flair, I know I can do it with ease, because my front squat game is strong. Squats also keep me curvy... and I'm all about that!" She also loves running. "If I have a good running partner, I can run for hours."

Wrestling champion Nia Jax (real name Savelina Fanene) is taking a break from the madness of the fighting ring to relax, breathe, and enjoy the beauty of nature. Jax, 39, shared pictures of herself wearing black workout gear, looking zen and serene as she sat outside in a yoga pose. “Full of gratitude 🙏🏽,” she captioned the post. Here’s what inspired Jax to lose weight, gain a huge amount of confidence, and become an even better fighter.

1. Pilates and Personal Training

Jax says she is currently training in preparation for her return to the ring. "I am training. I'll train over at D-Von Dudley's ring,” she told Bill Apter, via Cultaholic. “He's great and then I go over to Nattie and TJ's [Natalya & TJ Wilson], so they run me through some drills and stuff like that and I have matches. I'll get in the ring every now and then with some of my friends like Charlotte [Flair] and her husband, Manny [Andrade El Idolo)... Right now, I'm enjoying being at home with my family. I have a new nephew and I've kind of started being obsessed with Pilates.”

2. Pickleball Matches

Jax enjoys pickleball matches with her friends, which is a great way to get a cardio workout while having fun. “I think one of the things that we as a society have underestimated is the benefit of being outdoors, and a lot of pickleball is played in the setting of existing tennis courts or other newer courts that are being specially designed for pickleball that are outdoors,” cardiologist and Harvard Medical School professor Dr. Calum MacRae tells CNBC. “Something like pickleball, which is an active, social sport and builds community, sustains people in regular exercise over time. It’s really something that for us is exciting to see.”

3. Losing 48 Pounds

https://twitter.com/LinaFanene/status/1647678220613853186?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1647678220613853186%7Ctwgr%5Ea4bb5a162542c72f194fd5468c7fe117ee866bcb%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.sportskeeda.com%2Fwwe%2Fnia-jax-s-incredible-weight-loss-how-much-the-irresistible-force-lose

Jax lost a whopping 48 pounds in just six months after feeling uncomfortable at friend Charlotte Flair’s wedding. “Me to @MsCharlotteWWE after her wedding: ‘I feel gross & uncomfortable! I want to lose weight’. @MsCharlotteWWE to me: ‘Please let me help you! You got this woman.’ Officially started in October…6 months later, down 48lbs🥺🙏🏽 Sends me killer workouts and motivates me 💪🏾🥺,” Jax tweeted. Nice work!

4. No Glam Squad

Jax takes care of her own pre-ring prep, no glam squad needed or necessary. “I really take pride in doing my own make-up all the time which takes me about 40 minutes, and my hair takes another 15 to 20 minutes,” she told Metro. “Putting on my gear is probably another 15 minutes, so all in all I don’t think an hour and a half is too bad!”

5. Body Type Pride

Jax is proud to represent a different body type in the wrestling world. "I noticed they were always beautiful women but skinnier and smaller than me," she told Refinery29. "I just never really saw somebody like me in the business, and I didn't think that somebody like me would fit in to that business. Maybe a young girl seeing me and not feeling comfortable in her group can feel like, Oh my gosh, look, she went out there and she’s different and I look like her and she’s kicking ass and she’s taking names. Maybe one day I can do that and I should just embrace who I am.”
