Rhodes has a daughter, and she wants to set a good example for her. She says to SELF that she wants her daughter to be inspired by her mother’s wrestling career. “I’m more interested in showing her anything is possible,” she says. “In seeing that her mom went out there having been off for a year, she trained really hard and is out there killing it in the ring. I want her to feel that way and look at life that way when she’s faced with a challenge.”

2. She Encourages Safety

In her SELF interview, Rhodes opened up about how black women are treated by the healthcare system. She wants to encourage others to do their research. “I wasn’t really aware of the challenges that Black women face when it comes to childbirth until I became pregnant,” she says. “It’s so important to have a doctor that you trust who fully understands the challenges. If your doctor doesn’t seem to think that’s a challenge—being pregnant and Black—find another doctor. It will feel so much better.”

3. She Opened Up About Anxiety

After having her daughter, Rhodes suffered from postpartum anxiety. She opened up about her struggles to SELF. “I fully went through a period of postpartum anxiety or maybe a combination of anxiety and depression,” she says. “I lean more towards anxiety because I was so happy, but I was terrified at the same time. It was something I’d never felt before. It was a fear of every unknown possible.” Rhodes says that she sought help from others to get her through this. “Just being honest about it with myself and other people is what really helped.”

4. She Changes Her Fitness Routine

Rhodes talked about her fitness routine to Muscle and Fitness. She says that she’s always changing her fitness routine. “One of the things that I am very open to is evolving my fitness routines,” says Rhodes. “I know that sometimes we get really comfortable with certain routines and we kinda just get stuck in them, and we don’t know how to move forward.”

5. She Weight Trains

One thing Rhodes does to stay in shape is weight train. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing some training at the gym. In it, she is seen doing bicep curls with hand weights. Rhodes captioned the post, “My trainer @bradkolowichjr hadn’t seen me for a week so he blessed me with spider curls and a little Dolly 😂🏋🏾‍♀️ Back to the grind!!!”

Pink talked about some of her favorite products to SELF. She revealed her favorite skincare products and tricks. “I like serums,” she says. “I like La Mer. I like SkinCeuticals C E Ferulic serum.

That’s my very favorite thing, possibly in the entire world.”

In her SELF interview, Pink talked about how she takes care of her hair. “Right now I use Olaplex on my hair,” she says. “And before that, I used OI. I have really short hair. I’ve been growing my hair for 15 years and my hair’s like, two centimeters long. I leave conditioner in my hair all day long, and I wash my hair probably twice a week now.”

3. She Takes Salt Baths

One thing Pink does to both relax and recover is take salt baths. She tells SELF, “I also am a huge proponent of pink Himalayan salt baths anytime I don’t feel good in any way. If I feel sad, if I feel under the weather, if I feel fatigued, if I feel sore: pink Himalayan salt baths. It’s like magic.” Salt baths can help with sore or hurt muscles and with relaxation.

4. She Has A Thick Skin

Throughout her career, Pink has been subjected to criticism from the media. Especially in the 2000s. However, she doesn’t let it bother her. “I was the perfect person to take all of that flak,” she says to Women’s Health. “I have very thick skin. I do what I want. I can handle criticism; it doesn’t move my needle. It hurts my feelings, I guess—or it used to. But it doesn’t change my actions.”

5. She Takes Breaks

Pink has a busy life. She tells Women’s Health that she prioritizes her downtime for this reason. “In my career, I’m around so many people with so much energy directed at me,” she says, “And I also make noise for a living. So it’s important for my mental health to unplug and be in nature.” Pink says that the pandemic was helpful to her, and that it took her three years to make her newest album.

In an interview with the Tampa Bay Times, Natalya Neidhart opened up about what she eats before a match. “I went to the Sky Lounge in the LaGuardia airport and had a little bit of Greek yogurt and a cappuccino with skim milk. I always like to have a little bit of coffee in the morning — it’s more of a ritual for me than the taste. I like to sit and have 15 minutes to myself to just drink my coffee and reflect and think about what my day is going to be like. They served a breakfast burrito on the plane. To be brutally honest, I don’t really love airplane food, but no matter what, you can make something out of nothing. I had a couple of bites, that that way I could feel like I was getting a little bit without all the calories. Then I just had water on the plane. Whenever I travel I try to hydrate as much as possible. I hate that dehydrated feeling, it makes me super tired. They also served some fresh fruit so I had a little bit of that. That way when I landed I didn’t feel too bloated or heavy.”

Carmella, also known as Leah Van Dale, shared her workout routine with Women Fitness. “I always warm up on the bike or treadmill for about 20-30 minutes before I lift. Stretching is something I really need to get back into my daily routine. With my schedule, it’s so hard to fit everything in. I usually only have time to train OR stretch, but I really need to start making time for both. I notice such a difference in my body when I take the time to stretch properly.”

5. Britt Baker

Britt Baker shared her approach to exercise in an interview with Muscle and Fitness. “I’m, admittedly, a very late-night workout girl,” she said. “I’m at the gym, usually at 10pm, finishing up around 11.30pm or midnight. That’s just how it works for me now because that’s the only time I can fit in. When I’m home, in a typical day, I wake up, go to the dental office and I’m there sometimes until 7pm, come home, eat really quick, say hello to my boyfriend (who just happens to be fellow AEW superstar; Adam Cole then I go to the gym.”

I feel extremely lucky and blessed to have the career that I have now and don’t want to lose it along with everything that I could lose if I don’t stay sober.”

In 2018, Tenille Dashwood opened up about signing with Ring of Honor with TVInsider. “I feel revived and alive again with wrestling,” she said. “I started this because I love wrestling. Back when I was younger in Australia, I wanted to be a wrestler and loved what I did with WWE. It’s completely different now. It’s not five minutes on TV where I’m asked to do such and such. It’s having competitive singles matches every night. There are different opponents every night. I’m meeting new people and improving my own skills every time by working with different people in the ring. It got me going again.”

Indi Hartwell opened up about her career to Busted Open Radio. “I thought to myself, ‘if I get it all at once, where do I go from there?’ I’m still pretty young in this business. I’ve been wrestling for seven years, but that’s nothing compared to some people. I’m all about the slow and steady. I know it’s a marathon and not a sprint. A lot of my coaches tell me that. I just try to keep that in mind.”

I’m not against the losing weight part. But, I’m against calling people out for it. And I’m against people who call themselves fans thinking it is okay to criticize a woman’s body because it is more than doing squats. I do squats every day. It is a mental game as well. It is so much more than just working out. You know what I mean?”

14. Charlotte Flair

Charlotte Flair opened up about how she approaches her wrestling career in an interview with Muscle and Fitness. “It’s about being kind to yourself,” says Flair. “How you talk to yourself really matters. I never believed that I could be on TV, or be a performer, or any of those things … Why did I tell myself that for so many years? And now, here I am, the most decorated women’s champion of all-time. Why do we tell ourselves that we can’t do something? It’s because we are scared of it. So, do what you are scared of. That biggest fear that you have…do that!”

But I have to get out there. I couldn't let people down. So I wrestled with my hips taped for about two months, because I was wrestling all the time. So it was like, nonstop because of that drive that we have. I wanted to be the champion. I wanted to be the best. I wanted people to say that I did it, I wanted to say that I did it for myself."

17. Toni Storm

All of those things started to weigh heavy on me but now I don’t drink any alcohol. I’ve noticed an immense difference. My workouts and everything has totally changed.”

Mary Bedford, the influencer and Love Island star, doesn’t just wear pink on Wednesdays. She’s also not afraid to post swimsuit photos on her social media. One of her most recent Instagram photos is a perfect example of both things. In it, Bedford posed in a pink one piece swimsuit with cutouts, showing off her figure. Bedford captioned the post, “On Thursdays we wear pink too.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Mary Bedford stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. She’s Admitted To Having Plastic Surgery

Bedford is open about the fact that she’s had work done. She tells Closer Online that she doesn’t think this is a bad thing to admit. "It’s not something to be ashamed of, so many people have it done. It doesn’t have to be a big secret, it was the best decision I ever made, it brought my confidence in bikinis up, in everything really.” "Anticipate improvement, not perfection. If you expect cosmetic surgery to turn you into a movie star, you're bound to be disappointed. Don't count on surgery to save a rocky relationship, gain a promotion or improve your social life," says the Mayo Clinic.

2. She Got Her Work Done Healthily

Bedford encourages her followers to get work done, if it will make them feel better. She also encouraged her followers to get safe work done. She tells Closer Online, "My two insecurities were my" chest "and my teeth and I saved up and did my research." "If you decide to pursue cosmetic surgery, you'll probably have your choice of surgeons. Choose one who specializes in the procedure you'd like to have done and is certified in the specialty by a board recognized by the American Board of Medical Specialties. Beware of misleading certifications from unrecognized or self-designated boards," says the Mayo Clinic.

3. She Uses Meal Preps

In this video from her YouTube channel, Bedford broke down her daily secrets, and revealed some of her diet and wellness secrets. She says that she likes to use meal preps to help her eat healthy. “It’s just so much easier for someone like me,” she explains. “I’m not a good cook. I get like two meals a day.” Bedford says this helps with her busy schedule, and helps her not skip meals.

4. She Tracks Her Food

In this YouTube video, Bedford broke down what she typically eats each day. She also revealed some of her diet secrets. One thing she likes to do is track what she eats. “I also do use MyFitnessPal to track all my foods because it’s just easy,” she says. When using a tracker: "

• "Use the tracker to get a baseline of your daily movement and then set a goal 2,000-3,000 steps higher.
• Use it as a motivational tool to encourage movement and as a historical record. If you have a bad day, you can look back and see that it was only one day among many good days. This perspective may keep you from falling off the wagon because of 'all or nothing' thinking.
• Use the information from the tracker as a guide but not as permission to throw dietary discretion out the window," says the Mayo Clinic.

5. She Goes To The Beach and Pool

Bedford is always breaking out her swimsuits. She is a big fan of either going to the beach or the pool, and has posted several photos of herself doing so on Instagram. She posted this photo of herself poolside with the caption, “Quick dip.” She also posted this photo of herself at the beach, captioning it, “Another pic I was never gonna post but here we are.”

Brandi Rhodes is showing off her post-pregnancy body in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the former wrestler flaunts her impressively fit figure in a bathing suit while sending a message to her hater. “I read on here that I lost my looks after my pregnancy. And you know, they're right. I went from fine as hell to fine af. Ah, what are you gonna do?” she captioned the swimsuit snap on X. How does the former fighter keep herself in amazing shape? Celebwell rounded up some of her top lifestyle habits.

1. She Trains Hard

“I train very hard daily! My workouts are 6 days a week and incorporate weight training, interval exercises and plenty of cardio. I’ve found a balance with training, it’s something that challenges me, but also that I enjoy greatly,” Brandi told Athleisure.

2. She Practices Self-Care

Brandi also prioritizes self-care. “The number one thing I learned in wrestling is that no one’s going to take care of you as much as you’re going to take care of you. I knew everything I needed to keep myself safe—and I knew how to say no,” she told Women’s Health.

3. She Eats Healthy

Brandi eats healthy. “When I’m working out I love a good protein shake, my favorite is from a place called Kale Me Crazy. I’m also very big on tuna packets, because I can take them anywhere and they do the trick! Then I love almond butter. Put it on my toast every morning,” she told Athleisure.

4. She Does Yoga

Brandi owns a yoga studio. “I started doing yoga during the pandemic. I went into it thinking the practice would be the thing that helped me with my mental health. But it was the community of yoga that really filled me up,” she told Women’s Health.

5. Pilates

Brandi also does pilates. Here she is on a reformer. Why is pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic there are lots of benefits to the workout, 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, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.
