Lisa Meiswinkel is posing in her gym outfit – and ready to compete. In a new social media post the bodybuilder shows off her amazing body in a two-piece workout set while training in Germany. “Currently exactly 1.4kg above Stage and Las Vegas,” she writes in the caption of the Instagram photo. “Now it's been two weeks since the Olympics and we are still on the road with 2x training a week. We're resting a little more and giving time to the body. Also in the reverse/regeneration we will pay attention to keeping the body fit healthy and also of kfa good as just in the offseason,” which she calls “improvement season,” revealing that she has adapted her training. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
1. Warming Up
What are her top 3 tips and tricks for preparing for training and recovery? “Before training, warm up by cycling for a few minutes and maybe even stretching. If you have tension, you can even roll up your muscles a little with a fascia roller. After training, I sometimes walk on the treadmill for a few minutes to get rid of the lactate from training,” she told Reboots. “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints,” says Harvard Health. “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.”
2. Routine
An optimal day looks “structured and organized” for Lisa. “Routines are very important to me and lead to success, I would say. Waking up early in the morning, taking a short morning walk in the fresh air. Then some laptop work. Training, a short nap, and in the evening, my cardio on the spinning bike and mobility exercises,” she says.
3. Sleep and Massage
“Good and sufficient sleep” is also “very important,” Lisa tells Reboots. “This is followed by mobility training, as this also promotes recovery enormously, as well as massages.” According to the Sleep Foundation, getting enough z’s is a mood booster, promotes heart health, regulates blood sugar, improves mental function, restores your immune system, helps relieve stress, and aids in weight loss. According to the Mayo Clinic, studies support the many benefits of getting a regular rub down. These include stress reduction, lessening pain and muscle tightness, increased relaxation, and improved immunity.
4. Pose Training

What does Lisa do in her free time? “I love posing training, whether I'm posing for myself or giving posing lessons to others and being able to pass on my passion. That is absolutely my passion,” she told Reboots.
5. Reverse Dieting
Lisa doesn’t always diet! “When the current competition season is over, I start the reverse diet. I also see this as progress towards reaching my goal. I say yes 365 days a year,” she says.
