Bodybuilder Shanique Grant in Two-Piece Workout Gear is "a Hit!"

Shanique Grant took a blast to the past this Halloween –in her exercise clothes. In a new social media post the bodybuilder flaunts her famously fit figure in a 1980s inspired workout costume. “80s tunes, 80s moves, 80s gains #Halloween was a HIT! 🪩💅🏾,” she captioned the Instagram photo. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. High Protein Diet

During a live Q&A with fans she dished on her diet. During the off season she keeps it clean and tries to eat less calories. She also eats between 350-500 grams of protein per day. According to clinical trials, consuming more protein than the recommended dietary allowance not only reduces body weight (BW), but also enhances body composition by decreasing fat mass while preserving fat-free mass (FFM) in both low-calorie and standard-calorie diets.

2. Tennis

Grant picks up a racquet in her off time. “I love doing tennis, it’s a great form of cardio. You really get that stamina up, get that heart rate up, burn tons of calories, and you get your steps in…it's a great time overall,” she told Muscle & Fitness. “It’s very, very competitive too, so I love that part.” According to ACE Fitness it blends together cardio and aerobic exercise, as there is a lot of running around, and hand-eye coordination. "While tennis provides numerous health benefits—improved aerobic fitness and anaerobic endurance, muscular fitness (grip strength and endurance), flexibility, multiple skill parameters (balance, speed, agility and quickness), reactivity, and power—it also is psychologically demanding," they say.

Consistency is key, per Grant. She captioned a video of herself doing some lower body workouts, "THE WEEKEND DOESN'T MEAN PUT YOUR GOALS ON HOLD. Learn to rest, not stop!" She also posted this photo of herself in workout gear, and captioned it, "Nobody wants to tell you why discipline is so important. Discipline is the strongest form of self-love. It is ignoring current pleasures for bigger rewards to come. It's loving yourself enough to give yourself everything you've ever wanted."
