Avril Mathie, a professional boxer known for her athleticism and dynamic personality, shares her fitness routines and training tips with fans on Instagram. In a recent post, Mathie demonstrated one of her go-to full-body conditioning circuits, captioned, “Full body workout conditioning circuit x 3 rounds.” From strength-building moves to explosive exercises, she keeps her training both intense and effective.


Mathie’s fitness approach includes circuit training, strength exercises, and, of course, boxing drills. Whether she’s doing jump squats, kettlebell swings, or perfecting her jab, she balances her workouts with activities like swimming to stay energized. Her dedication to fitness and passion for sharing her journey inspire her followers to push their limits and embrace an active lifestyle.

1. She Circuit Trains

As you can see from her post, Mathie likes to circuit train to keep herself in shape. She wrote in the caption, “No rest between exercises, rest at the end of each circuit. Reps to failure. Failure = as much as you can do with good form. Choose your weights so that you’re doing somewhere around 15-30 reps of each exercise. Listen with audio for motivation 😉 Try it today or save it for later!”

2. She Strength Trains

Mathie likes to strength train to keep herself in shape. In her Instagram video, she is seen doing things like medicine ball slams, kettlebell swings, and weighted sled exercises. The Mayo Clinic states that strength training is very beneficial. “Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories.”

3. She Does Squats

Avril Mathie.3Avril Mathie/Instagram

Mathie is seen doing squat jumps in her Instagram video. Squats of all kinds have a lot of health benefits. Allina Health reports, “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.”

4. She Boxes

Boxing is obviously one of the things that Mathie does to keep herself in shape. She shares a lot of videos on Instagram of herself doing drills. Mathie shared this video of herself using a punching bag, captioning it, “How it feels to return to hard training after a summer of frolicking around europe 😫” She also shared this video of herself doing jabs, captioning it, “I like my jab to be as unpredictable as my travel plans😂👊🏽Did I miss any? 🥊Go check out my boxing workout app (link in bio) for a full breakdown on how to throw every punch 💪🏽”

5. She Swims

Mathie likes to swim to keep herself in shape. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself in the water. In this highlight reel of one of her vacations, Mathie is seen enjoying time by the pool, and even does a backflip into it. She captioned the post, “I might be injured and forced to take a temporary boxing career break, but I’ll never be bored or unproductive, that’s for sure 😜” She also shared this reel of herself jumping into the water.

Maggie Nichols is sharing a new workout video – in her exercise gear. In a new social media post the gymnast turned personal trainer flaunts her amazingly fit figure while unveiling a new routine with her followers. “FULL BODY WORKOUT,” she wrote in the captioned. “Day by day, what you choose, what you think, and what you do is who you become.” How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


1. Battling an Eating Disorder

Eating,Disorders,Awareness,Concept.,Promote,Healthy,Eating,HabitsShutterstock

In Maggie’s memoir Unstoppable! she reveals that collective trauma led to an eating disorder: “My weight was something I could control. It was all I thought about,” she says. However, she didn’t let her struggles, which included testifying against Larry Nasser, break her. “I’m so much stronger as an athlete and as person," she says. "I'm healthier, physically and mentally." During her eating disorder she obsessively counted calories and cut carbs, dropping down to 6.5 percent body fat.

2. 75 Hard

Maggie recently completed the 75 hard challenge. “75 hard challenge = conquered,” she captioned a post. “It’s been a journey of discipline, self-discovery, and a profound transformation into a more resilient, better-equipped version of myself both physically and mentally. This challenge has taught me that true growth lies in the discomfort, that discipline is the sculptor of success, and that the journey to my best self is a daily commitment. This challenge is a testament to the incredible power we hold within, awaiting discovery through consistency and resilience. Undoubtedly, this challenge has been incredibly tough, but it’s transformed me profoundly. There were long travel days, busy days, holidays, adverse weather… but I discovered that when passion fuels determination… you find a way to make it happen. No matter what! Thanks to everyone who cheered me on along the way!”

3. Walking

Maggie loves going for walks on the beach. “Afternoon walks by the ocean,” she captioned a post.

4. Ab Workouts

Maggie recently shared an ab workout with her followers, recommending doing the following exercises for three rounds, 40 seconds on 20 seconds off:

- Plank hold

- Bicycles

- Tuck in + v-up

- Long scissors kicks

- High plank toe touches

- Long tuck in to long leg lift

5. Full Body Workout

Maggie’s recent full-body workout follows:

  1. 10 min walk / mobility
  2. Chin ups 4x AMRAP
  3. 40s on 20s off - 4 rounds

In and out squat

Curl to press

Sumo squat to curtsy lunge

Renegade row

Jump lunges w/ weight

Plank

Rest 1 min

Maycee Barner is showing off all her gym moods – and her amazing body in exercise clothes. In a new social media post the MMA fighter flaunts her figure in shorts and a crop top during an exercise session. “There’s no in between 😂💀 Which one are you?!” she captioned the video of all her gym moods. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Her Daily Schedule

Maycee works out from 9:30-10:30 a.m, wrestles from 1:30-2:30 p.m., and has team practice 3-4 p.m. Then, she takes a recovery period and does cryotherapy from 6-7 p.m. Then, at 8 p.m., a light run or hot tub, “depending on the day's training intensity.”

Science of Food

A scientist looking at food under a microscope.

"After I got signed with UFC, they did all these metabolic tests to create a meal plan for me, which they partnered with meal delivery service Trifecta to do," Barber told Well + Good. She avoids soy and dairy, and eats a diet high in protein, healthy fats, and lots of fibrous veggies as a result of her testing. "I've gotten really into the science behind what's best to eat because it's so important [for my job]," she said. "I've done meal plans in the past where I haven't felt good at all, I felt sick and tired all the time, but eating this way makes me feel energized and also keeps my immune system strong.”

Breakfast

"All of my meals are some sort of combination of protein and vegetables—including breakfast," says Barber. "I really love eggs, so that's something I have a lot in the mornings, often with a side of broccoli, or another high-fiber vegetable. I like to have coffee, but I wait until after my morning workout to have it. Throughout the day, I make sure to stay hydrated, too. Hydration is really important. I drink water before, during, and after all my workouts."

Lunch

Next up, lunch. "There's a poke spot close to me that I love, so I got there a lot for lunch," she says. "I do a build-your-own-bowl, adding ahi tuna and lots and lots of greens. I also add in cilantro, cucumber, and red onion. The sauce I like to put on top is lime juice-based. I love this lunch because it's super healthy, really delicious, and gives me the stamina I need to push through my next workout,” she said.

Dinner

"Dinner is...yep, more protein and veggies! One of my go-to dinners is salmon and vegetables," she says. "It has protein, healthy fats, and of course lots of fiber—everything I know my body needs to feel good. I don't actually love the taste of salmon, but I do love the way it makes me feel. As you can see, I eat a lot of fish and vegetables; that's pretty much the core of my diet. I just try to find ways to keep it mix it up and keep it interesting."

Kerly Ruiz is training her legs – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the fitness personality shows off her amazingly fit figure during an exercise session. “Workout of the day!! Here I leave you today's exercise for quadriceps!!” she captioned the Instagram post. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Here's What She Eats in a Day

Kerly shared a sample day of eating, starting with breakfast: 3 egg whites and 1 whole egg

30g of oats or 1/2 potatoes. Next up, a snack, a protein shake and 2 small Colombian potatoes. Then, for lunch she has 140g chicken with 100g rice and a green salad. For a snack she has 90g shrimp and zucchini vegetable pasta. And finally, for dinner she has 110g of fish with 1 egg and green salad.

Intermittent Fasting

In order to “lose weight, burn fat and get super fit” Kerly intermittent fasts, which she calls her eating method. Intermittent fasting works by “prolonging the period when your body has burned through the calories consumed during your last meal and begins burning fat,” explains Johns Hopkins Medicine.

Low Carb Diet

Kerly is on a low carb diet, she told El Estimulo, revealing she only eats “light” sandwiches. “I try not to eat a lot of bread because it makes my belly bigger, but when I can, I use whole wheat bread. I try to combine it with protein, which is very important to maintain muscle. I like to put some dressings that give flavor to the sandwich so that the diet is pleasant and I don't get bored,” she says. “Olives, avocado, olive oil, alfalfa, whole wheat toast, a grilled chicken breast and a little mustard, because it's the only dressing that doesn't have calories. No mayonnaise, no tomato sauce.”

She Counts Calories

“My diet only allows me a low-calorie sandwich, between 150 and 180 calories, which could be eaten mid-morning - I eat 6 times a day - because you can't eat carbohydrates at night. I try to find the right flavors, since I live on a diet. I put a little bit of what I have at home, avocado, which even though it has fat, it's the good kind, tomato too, so to speak, you can't overdo it either, and olive oil, which is a good fat for the body, skin, hair and nails,” she added.

No Mayo

One ingredient that she would never put in a sandwich? “Mayonnaise because I think that first of all it's greasy for the skin, it gives you acne and secondly it goes to your belly, your rolls. I don't like mayonnaise at all,” she said.

Valentina Lequeux is a very successful fitness model. She shares a lot of her workout videos on Instagram. In May, she shared a full-body high-intensity interval training workout on her page. She is seen doing things like lunge jumps, plank twists, and push-ups. Lequeux captioned the post, “FULL BODY HIIT 💦 This routine will help with your nutrition choices this coming weekend. Go ahead and have that drink, just train hard.”


1. She Like To Workout Outside

Lequeux likes to workout outside. She captioned her Instagram post, “It’s getting warmer outside, so there’s little to no excuses to take your fitness outdoors especially with this minimal equipment routine.” UC Davis states that going outside has a lot of benefits. “Being outdoors can also have relaxing effects on our minds. Nature can provide a mental break by allowing us to temporarily escape the demands of everyday life. It can also boost your creativity and problem-solving abilities. For example, if you're having a mental block writing a paper or can't seem to solve a problem at work, step outside for a breath of fresh air. Take an easy walk around your neighborhood or office, and you just might find the answers you were looking for.”

2. She Weight Trains

As you can see in her Instagram post, Lequeux likes to weight train. She wrote in the caption, “All you need is a kettlebell, I’m using the 18 lb @bellsofsteel kettlebell.”

2. She Works Her Core

Lequeux shared her core workouts in this Instagram video. “15 minute CORE AMRAP 🔥 Set a timer with 15 minutes & perform as many series of these moves as you can (see below for rep count). Rest as little as possible at the end of each round. Make every rep count!⁣ 1. Ball slams x15 each side. 2. Weighted sit up w/med ball toss x20 reps⁣. 3. High plank w/kettlebell pass x15 each hand⁣. 4. Weighted floor rock into pistol squat x10 each leg.”

4. She Works Her Legs

Lequeux shared her lower body workouts in this Instagram video. “Full Leg Day 👌🏼 This was the only workout so did in Texas, we went to @lgndbarbell (not an ad) what a cool spot, check it if you live in Huston it’s top notch for any of my bodybuilding or powerlifting peeps.⁣ I did a warm up that isn’t shown in this vid, sorry I completely forgot to film it! But it’s so good you have to do it before the working sets:⁣ X2 rounds of:⁣ 1.Kettlebell swings: x15⁣. 2.Leg extension: x12⁣. 3.Hamstring curl: x8⁣. 4.Back extension w/oh plate press & hold: x12⁣.”

5. She Does HIIT

As you can see from her Instagram post, Lequeux likes to do HIIT. Circle Health Group states, “HIIT involves short bursts of intense exercise followed by brief periods of rest or lower-intensity exercise. During the high-intensity intervals, your heart rate and breathing rate increase substantially. Over time, this helps to improve your aerobic capacity, also known as VO2 max, which is the maximum amount of oxygen your body can use during intense exercise. A higher VO2 max is associated with improved stamina and endurance.”

For Hewitt, fitness is all about variety. “I try to switch it up a bit,” she told OK! Magazine. “I’ve found that if every week I do something different it tricks my muscles into not getting used to doing any one thing. I’ve been doing pilates, I’ve been doing yoga, I’ve done just plain old walking. I wear 10 pound weights on my ankles while I’m working just so that as I’m moving during the day I’m constantly building muscle. It’s not great for your back but I’m doing it anyway. I do a booty workout thing that I just did for Shape, which was really fun. And I do Zumba. I have DVDs and I dance around like a crazy person in my house.”

She Builds Confidence

Hewitt tells People that she wants to build her confidence up. “I think I’m a work in progress,” she admits. “[But] I feel it’s so much better than [it was] a year-and-a-half ago, and I feel like in another eight months, it’s going to be so much better than it is today.”

Over the past few years, Sydney Sweeney has become one of America’s sweethearts with celebrated roles in everything from hit HBO shows Euphoria and White Lotus to big-screen movies Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Anyone But You. In addition to her impressive acting ability, the star is a total bombshell and has one of the fittest figures in Hollywood. Here are the top 5 habits that help her stay fit at 27.

Water Skiing

Sydney has been water skiing since she was a toddler. “The moment I could walk, my mom put me on what’s called a U-board to learn how to ski,” she told Women’s Health. “I remember that whenever we would go by the docks of my grandma’s or my cousin’s house, I’d wave. I felt so cool because I could take off one hand. That’s my earliest memory of skiing, but I’ve been doing it as long as I can remember. It’s my favorite.” How does it help her achieve her amazing body? “It’s a lot of upper body strength, it’s balance, it’s core, it’s legs—you get tired really fast,” she says. “I see such a change in my body after an entire summer of [skiing]. My arms are stronger, more sculpted. My abs are rock solid. But I never look at it as a workout because it is so much fun,” she said.

Morning Workouts

Sydney mixes up her exercise routine, but likes to get workouts over with early in the day. “I like to work out in the morning, so I’ll either go for a run or I’ll go to Solidcore,” says Sydney. The high-intensity, low-impact Pilates-inspired workout “makes me feel so strong, but also elongated,” Sydney said about her sweat sessions. “I feel so good afterwards.”

Self-Care

Sydney engages in self-care activities. “I love to paint, and I love to read,” she said. “Those are the activities that are just for me.” One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years than those who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

She Walks and Hikes

One of the ways she treats her anxiety is by spending time outdoors with her dog, Tank. She takes him on walks or hikes. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Mariana Morais is showing off her ab-fab figure – in a two-piece exercise set. In a new social media post, the fitness influencer flaunts her fantastic figure in a brown sports bra and leggings. “Self Progress & Development is not always linear. Sometimes we take steps back & that’s just a sign to course correct so we can leap forward. If 2024 wasn’t the year you expected, use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, & carry on. It’s you VS you - continue to try, focus on consistency > perfection & you will prevail 🤎 rooting for us all to strengthen our mind & bodies this year,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Strength Training

Mariana relies on old-school strength training to keep her body toned. “Training till failure instead of reps + taking my ab routine up a notch by incorporating weighted exercises,” she wrote about one of her workout tactics. “I can feel my muscles being challenged and am in tune with my movements.” According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

  • Develop strong bones
  • Manage your weight
  • Enhance your quality of life
  • Manage chronic conditions
  • Sharpen your thinking skills

Prioritizing Digestion and Getting Blood Work Done

Other healthy habits? “Prioritizing digestion,” she writes in the same post. “Making sure I get enough fiber & starting off every morning with a juice cleanse. This has helped me feel so much better everyday.” She also gets regular blood work done. “So important to check your levels and know what’s going on in your body routinely! Don’t skip the doc apts, always better to be preventative.”

Hiking

Mariana enjoys hiking. “Elevation therapy,” she captioned a post from one of her fitness adventures. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health
  • Decreasing the risk of some respiratory issues

Pilates

Mariana does reformer Pilates. “POV: Stepping into the prettiest torture chamber,” she wrote across a video of herself at the studio. Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Emsculpt NEO

Mariana recently got an aesthetic body treatment, Emsculpt NEO. “I’ve heard all the rage about the benefits to spot reducing fat & toning muscle so I had to give it a try to target those pesky lower abs. It was a 10/10 & a great addition to my workout routine,” she wrote.
