Sarah Villegas is showing off her “fitness lifestyle.” In a new social media post featuring the bodybuilder, she shows off her amazing figure in a two-piece exercise outfit while holding weights. “First reaction.. OH MY !!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥,” commented a fan. “Incredibile!” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Multiple “Layers” to Conditioning

Sarah told Alina Popa and Lenda Murray about what people should know about conditioning on a recent episode of Femme Flex Friday, per Muscle & Fitness. “I think people need to realize there are multiple layers to that. You have leanness, you have dryness, and you have fullness. And all three of those things are very separate,” Villegas explained. “And when you master each one of those, that’s what gives you conditioning.”

2. Aim for “Leanness”

“A lot of times you can have people that aren’t lean enough, and they say ‘well, I was too full.’ You weren’t too full, you weren’t lean enough,” Sarah said during the interview. You have to start with leanness then focus on water balance and fullness of the muscles. “You have to remember that you can only achieve conditioning if you master all three of those.”

3. It Helps You From Acquiring Too Much Body Fat

“Staying too lean keeps you from growing, but obviously, you know, acquiring too much bodyfat in the offseason keeps you from growing as well,” Sarah added. “You lose your shape, and it can be easy to lose sight on what you need to work on.”

4. Lots of Lower Body “Hard Work”

Sarah explained to RX Muscle that she does a lot of lower body workout. “Now you have the best legs in the women's division. What is a body part that came very easy to you? Are you like one of these maniac trainers, squatting heavy and stuff like that? Was it hard work or was it genetics?” she was asked. “Definitely I would say hard work. I would say that they responded very well, but I train the lights out,” she replied. “And you hear it all the time: You gotta build from the bottom up and legs are the most important muscle. But not a lot of people actually really listen to that and follow through with that,” she says. “I have been relentless with leg training, giving it twice as much time throughout my week, twice as much time on the gym floor. So it's definitely been a lot of work. It does help though that I like training legs. I think, you know, I'm one of those weirdos that thinks it's kind of fun and rewarding, but it's definitely been a lot of hard work.”

5. She Trains Others

Sarah also helps others with a personal training and nutrition program. She explains that it is more than just dieting and lifting weights. “We do everything from personal training to diet, nutrition,” she says. This includes DEXA scans, measurements, tracking, and a “whole program” so people can “reach their ultimate body composition”
