Bakhar Nabieva, a successful bodybuilder with a huge following on Instagram, often shares her fitness journey and workout routines with her fans. Known for her impressive physique, she regularly posts videos of herself performing weightlifting exercises, showcasing her dedication to maintaining her strength and form. Last week, Nabieva shared a video of herself posing in new workout clothes at the gym, inspiring her followers with both her fashion sense and fitness tips. Here’s a deeper dive into her favorite exercises and how they contribute to her strength and overall fitness.


1. She Uses Weights

Being a bodybuilder, Nabieva lifts a lot of weights to keep herself in shape. According to ACE Fitness, 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 Does Deadlifts

One exercise that Nabieva does to stay fit are deadlifts. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing them. ACE Fitness reports that the exercise has a lot of benefits. “The barbell deadlift can help clients improve their total-body strength, while placing a specific emphasis on the posterior muscles involved in hip, knee and back extension. Increasing the strength of the posterior chain muscles can help clients reduce or avoid low-back pain while also teaching them how to synchronize movement of the ankles, knees, hips and back into one pattern. The deadlift can help an individual develop a level of strength that can be used for a number of other exercises or to improve performance in activities requiring significant levels of hip and core strength.”

3. She Does Squats

Nabieva also enjoys doing squats to stay fit. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing them. Piedmont reports that squats are very beneficial. “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. A squat has more overall benefits than, say, a bicep curl, which strengthens an isolated area.”

4. She Does Planks

In this video on her Instagram, Nabieva is seen doing planks. The Cleveland Clinic reports that this exercise has a lot of benefits. “Plank exercises work your core muscles, which are located between your pelvic floor and diaphragm. The area is also known as your trunk. These muscles support your movements and stabilize the spine.”

5. She Goes To The Beach

Nabieva likes to go to the beach. She shared this photo on Instagram of herself by the water. Nabieva captioned the post, “Running away to the land of discovery,Running away from the suffering, I’m gone, yeah. Running away from the darkness, I’m out here, yeah. Higher than all the limits. Going way beyond the noise and your feelings. When you speak all I can hear is silence. Turning back from all the pain and violence.”

Ashlyn Little is a professional bodybuilder. She competes in the IFBB. Last month, she hit the gym, and shared a stunning post on Instagram. In it, Little showed off her figure as she posed in workout clothes. She also did squats with a machine. She captioned the post, “Just a small girl with a ant 🐜 booty hard at work 👀😂”

She Works Hard

Little talked about the importance of working hard in the caption of this Instagram post. “This shape wasn’t built in a month or a few months or a year or a few years. BUT 10 YEARS… 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 my shape has never looked like this and I started my fitness journey in 2014 😳 When I started I never put a time line on how long until I achieved a certain physique. I just told myself as long as I’m able to go to the gym and train and eat healthy that’s what I decided I was going to do. I never turned back and I never got upset for how long it took cause I knew the muscle would come eventually as long as I kept going. Here we are now 10 years later and am I happy with my progress and what I see? YES!! But I’m never satisfied and for that I keep working 😤 Each year I get a little bit better and I learn a lot more! There is NO time line for me. I just love building my physique and I love this lifestyle so for all I care the growth can be slow or fast.”

She Has Support

Little has a lot of support that helps keep her in shape. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Hardest thing in prep for me is prep goggles hands down. Seeing one thing when others see something completely different. Constantly thinking ‘am I even going to be good enough?’ During these moments I always lean on my support system to keep my eyes and mind in check. The best advice I can give is to take the thinking out of it completely & never compare yourself to anyone but you. Don’t let the mind wonder. Just do your job and follow the plan. It’s your coaches job to tell you if you’re not on point or where you’re supposed to be. I’ve worked hard on this aspect of prep this year. Not questioning just following my coaches lead. Don’t allow your thoughts to consume your mind and sabotage your prep. I’m thankful for my support system and my coach heading into the biggest show of the year. No worries, no stress, no fears. Just a lot of hard work, following the plan and keeping my mind on the daily tasks at hand AND THATS IT 💯🙏🏼🤍”

She Lifts Weights

Little shared some of her favorite lower body workouts in this Instagram video. In it, she is seen using a barbell and weights. Little captioned the post, “Glutes and hammies my first workout back home post show 🍑 it was so nice to be able to enjoy some time off with my loved ones 🥹🙏🏼 and getting back to work this week has felt so good!!! Love that refreshing feeling of a first workout back 🔥 @ccash15_ifbbpro.”

She Does Squats

Little is seen doing squats in the previous Instagram post and the post from a month ago. Squats have a lot of benefits. Allina Health states, “The squat is one of the all-around best exercises to do for your lower body. It strengthens and tones muscles in your thighs, butt and calves and improves posture, balance, flexibility and inner core strength. Squatting also improves bone mineral density to keep your bones strong.”

She Does Lunges

In her lower body workout Instagram post, Little is seen doing lunges to keep herself in shape. Lunges have a lot of benefits. ACE Fitness states, “They’re a form of unilateral training, which means you’re working only one limb or side of the body at a time. And unilateral training is a more effective way to build functional strength (than using both legs) because these types of movement mimic other everyday motions, like walking and climbing stairs — and not just to the working leg. Research suggests the strength gains to the nonworking side are about half of the strength gains of the working side.”

Bakhar Nabieva is a fitness influencer who recently shared a new gym video on Instagram. In it, Nabieva is seen doing squats with a barbell. She wore a white top and black shorts in the video. “The depth of squats is amazing,” commented one fan. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Bakhar Nabieva stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Get Vitamin D From the Sun

“Vitamin D helps keep your bones strong by regulating calcium levels. Maintaining adequate amounts of the vitamin is essential for your bone health. People deficient in the vitamin can suffer symptoms including muscle aches, muscle weakness and bone pain. In severe cases, by reducing calcium absorption, deficiency can lead to slower growth, bone softening and weakened bone structure, increasing the risk of skeletal deformities, osteoporosis and fractures,” says the Skin Cancer Foundation, which also advises applying sunscreen.

2. She Stretches

Nabieva always remembers to stretch. Especially before a workout. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing some back and leg stretches. Nabieva captioned the post, “@gymreapers a little mobility work before I hit rock bottom on squats.”

3. She Does Mobility Work

“Mobility is essential for maintaining independence and performing daily activities as we age, due to the body's need for movement,” according to ACE Fitness. “Regular mobility exercises are crucial as they ensure that joints move through their full range of motion (ROM), which helps reduce aches, stiffness, and pain. Flexibility and extensibility of muscles and connective tissues play a key role in this process, enabling efficient, coordinated movements. Effective mobility training involves slow, controlled movements that enhance joint function, improve the nervous system's control of motion, and facilitate muscle contractions necessary for mobility.”

4. She Strength Trains

As you can see from her post, Nabieva likes to strength train to stay in shape. The Mayo Clinic states that strength training can improve your ability to do things. “Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age.”

5. She Does Squats

Nabieva does a lot of squats to keep herself in shape. The Cleveland Clinic reports that squats “Works major muscle groups. Burns calories. Strengthens your core. Improves lower body strength. Enhances stability and balance. Betters your posture. Helps with flexibility and mobility.” What can’t they do?

Teresa Ivancic is a professional bodybuilder. She also has a large following on Instagram. Ivancic recently shared a set of photos of herself in the gym. She captioned the post, “‘Life’s too short to put your happiness on hold. Do the things that light you up, fuel your passion, and bring you joy. When you choose happiness, you inspire others to do the same. Chase what makes your soul smile—you deserve it!’ Leg day shenanigans 🖤”

She Works with a Coach

To get herself in shape, Ivancic works with a fitness coach. She opened up about this in the caption of this Instagram video. In it, she is seen doing things like pulldowns. Ivancic wrote, “Every year you make a resolution to change yourself … This year make a resolution to be yourself! 💋Coached by @andrew_vu87.”

In the previous Instagram video, Ivancic is seen doing a lot of strength training exercises to keep herself in shape. ACE Fitness states that this can have a lot of benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

She Hikes

Ivancic shared this post on Instagram of herself on a hike outside. She captioned it, “Spent the day out in nature with my beastie, @makenziee_fit and there’s really nothing like it. Fresh air, the quiet hum of the outdoors, and my loyal companion by my side—it’s all I need to feel grounded. Taking time to unplug and just be in the moment does wonders for the soul, clears the mind, and fuels that inner peace we all need. Nature has a way of recharging us like nothing else. Ready to bring this energy back to the grind!”

She's Inspired By Others

Ivancic is inspired by other female bodybuilders. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Throwing it back to the incredible times at the @wingsofstrength Muscle Mansion 2018! 💪✨ Surrounded by inspiring athletes, amazing energy, and unforgettable moments that remind me why I love this journey so much. 🏋️♀️Grateful for the memories, the grind, and the camaraderie that make every rep worth it. 🙌 Here’s to good times and even better ones ahead!”

She Spends Time With Her Dog

One of Ivancic’s wellness habits is spending time with her dog. She even likes making costumes for her pup. Ivancic shared this video on Instagram of herself doing just that. She captioned it, “Happy Halloween from our very own female bodybuilder @zayda_americanbullyxl. Like mother like daughter 🥰🐾Last week was peak week so she was a little cranky 😂Super quick and easy costume I put together last night for her daycare Halloween costume contest today! @whisperingwindskennel”

Natalie Jayne Roser is showing off her baby bump – in two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the swimwear model flaunts her growing belly in an Alo exercise set in a mirror selfie taken at the Pilates studio. “wow wow great 💚💕💛💚💕💛,” commented one of her followers. “Beautiful,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Her Morning Routine

Natalie revealed her morning routine to Women’s Fitness. “A latte and breakfast first thing! My first meal of the day is very important to me to set me up for a day of nutritious, mindful eating. I also love waking up and not checking my phone for the first 30 minutes to 1 hour. This allows me to start the day at a better pace and not dive into emails right on 7am,” she said.

Strength Training and Running

She also does strength training and cardio. “I do like to mix that up with weights circuits, running and just solo gym time. I love a class or PT session to hold me accountable and it also helps hold my interest as I can change up my workouts frequently for a challenge,” she said.

Protein and Carbs

When it comes to diet, Natalie tries not to be too strict. “I love my food. I’ve tried so many diets over the years to test myself and my body and see how I feel on each. I’ve never been a restricted eater, but these diets that I’ve tried have taught me what foods my body loves and what food my body struggles with,” she says. “I am a protein and carbs girl, and my body doesn’t seem to handle excess amounts of good fats (thank you keto for teaching me this). So, I know that if I predominantly eat a high protein diet and satisfy my carb cravings, I’ll feel strong, full and be getting the foods that I crave.”

Long Walks

One of her self-care strategies for mental health? “I love long walks with my husband where we just bounce off each other and share everything. We both find that our minds free up as we’re walking. Whether we’re releasing creative ideas or talking through something ‘bad’ that’s happened that day, walking and talking seems to help the conversation flow. I find that sharing my thoughts like this, whether they be good or bad, helps clear my headspace and get a good, healthy perspective on my life and the things that are happening around me,” she says.

Pilates

What is Natalie’s go-to form of exercise? “I’m enjoying my reformer Pilates as my main workout,” she told the publication.

Alice De Bortoli doesn’t just light up Instagram with her stunning fashion and effortless style—she also shares the secrets behind her enviable beach-ready physique. The Italian influencer keeps her followers in the loop when it comes to fitness, beauty, and wellness, proving that looking and feeling great is all about consistency. From skincare rituals to core-sculpting workouts, De Bortoli’s daily habits make it clear that staying in shape is about more than just hitting the gym. Whether she’s cooking up homemade meals, breaking a sweat, or showing off a fresh new look, she’s all about feeling her best from the inside out. Here are five of her go-to habits for maintaining a strong, confident, and glowing presence all year long.

She Takes Care Of Her Skin

De Bortoli has impressive skin. Naturally, she takes care of it on a regular basis. De Bortoli shared this video on Instagram sharing her skincare routine. She captioned it, “The secret to perfect skin? Here is my step by step routine! ✨💦🎀 What product can you absolutely not live without?”

She Changed Her Hair Color

De Bortoli recently changed her hair color. She explained why in the caption of this Instagram post. “The good thing about this color is that it does not require frequent touch-ups and it easily adapts to natural hair growth, it is versatile and can enhance any body and face shape 🧡for those who are tired of blonde or brown, bronde is the solution to change harmony without distortion 🤍for those who have a fair complexion, the most golden tone is recommended 🤎 for the dark complexion, on the other hand, more ash brown ❤️ 🔥what can I say... For me the bronde conquered, and what do you think?”

She Cooks

De Bortoli likes to cook, and she was taught to do so by her grandmother. She shared this video on Instagram of herself and her grandmother cooking together. De Bortoli captioned it, “Grandparents are wealth in society, my grandmother loves to cook and do it with her since I was a child. She has always inspired my creativity, patience, discipline and order but above all traditions, history, and the concreteness of nature's gifts. The greatest teaching my grandparents passed on to me is respect for people, the environment, animals and the kitchen... Today together we made Carnival Frittelle, an easy, quick dessert that adults and kids love. The ingredients are few and simple (but of high quality) and, trust me, the result is guaranteed: nice round but above all soft and tasty.”

She Works Her Abs

De Bortoli shared this video of herself working out on Instagram. In it, she is seen doing core exercises like sit-ups. Core exercises are extremely important. The Mayo Clinic says, “Strong core muscles make it easier to do many activities. When your core muscles are strong, it's easier to swing a golf club, get a glass from the top shelf and bend down to tie your shoes. Strong core muscles help athletes, such as runners. That's because weak core muscles can lead to more fatigue, less endurance and injuries.”

She Works Out With Others

In the previous Instagram video, De Bortoli is seen working out with a friend. Better Health says that this has a lot of benefits. “You’re less likely to get bored when you have a workout buddy, especially a friend. While you’re catching up, having a laugh, encouraging each other, you’re also getting healthier. It’s a win-win. Chatting to a friend during exercise and breaks can help time pass quickly too. You’ll have more options as well, such as a game of tennis or squash.”

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.”
