The professional female bodybuilder, Lisa Cross, has a deep love for all things health and fitness, investing a lot into her body. “For those that missed my IG LIVE ….. and for all those that could join ….. thank you. That was so much fun. We must do it again sometime ❤️💋❤️ #instagram #instalive #thankyou #seeyousoon,” she said on Instagram. Her dedication and discipline shows, and she wants to inspire others to take care of themselves, as well. Here’s what she does to stay looking and feeling fit.
1. She’s confident
She’s incredibly confident. “Super sized. Super strong. Super sexy,” she said on Instagram in a video while flexing. According to Psychology Today, “the more confident you become, the more you’ll be able to calm the voice inside you that says, “I can’t do it.” You’ll be able to unhook from your thoughts and take action in line with your values.”
2. She connects with her fans
She prioritizes connecting with her community regularly. “That Friday feeling 🙌🙌🙌 Hope you all have a wonderful weekend and be sure to end it in the best way possible and join me for my IG LIVE on Sunday at 6pm uk/ 1pm EST. Drop any questions you have for the LIVE in the comments below . Can’t wait to see you,” she said on Instagram.
3. She spends time outside
In a video with her dogs, she’s soaking up the sun outdoors. “@davebautista knows the secret to happiness ❤️Nothing makes me happier than being outdoors , in the sunshine with my two dogs 🐶❤️🐶,” she said on Instagram. “Spending time in green space or bringing nature into your everyday life can benefit both your mental and physical wellbeing. For example, doing things like growing food or flowers, exercising outdoors or being around animals can have lots of positive effects,” according to mind.org. “It can improve your mood, reduce feelings of stress or anger, help you take time out and feel more relaxed, improve your physical health, improve your confidence and self-esteem help you be more active, help you meet and get to know new people, connect you to your local community, reduce loneliness, help you feel more connected to nature, [and] provide peer support.”
4. She lifts weights
It should come as no surprise with her muscle definition, that she prioritizes strength training and weight lifting. On a video of her pumping iron, she said, “I’m very good at lifting heavy things 👍😜❤️,” on Instagram. “Your body fat percentage will increase over time if you don't do anything to replace the lean muscle you lose over time. Strength training can help you preserve and enhance your muscle mass at any age,” according to the Mayo Clinic.
5. She works her ab muscles
She works towards strong, defined abs. “These 5 tips are important to consider if you are wanting to achieve visible abs. You can’t achieve abs by only training with compound movements. Your nutrition has a huge influence on whether you have visible abs. Genetics play a huge role in having visible abs, especially for women as some women store fat differently. Stress/ sleep play a huge part in developing your abs. You need to make sure you are getting enough rest. Form is more important than achieving high reps,” she said on Instagram.
