Carly Baker Shares Swimsuit Photo Going From "Espana to London UFC"

UFC Ring Girl Carly Baker is mixing work and play on a trip to sunny Spain. Baker shared pictures of herself posing in a variety of swimsuits, standing on a balcony in a tan bikini, with the city behind her. She also posted video of herself playing in the surf at the beach in a tiny white bikini. “Espana 🇪🇸 to London UFC 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿,” she captioned the post. “Stunning,” a fan commented. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Baker stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. Ab Workouts

Baker shares her ab workouts on Instagram, which not only create nice stomach muscles but help build a strong core. “Strong core muscles make it easier to do many activities,” says the Mayo Clinic. “When your core muscles are strong, it's easier to swing a golf club, get a glass from the top shelf and bend down to tie your shoes. Strong core muscles help athletes, such as runners. That's because weak core muscles can lead to more fatigue, less endurance and injuries.”

2. Resistance Band Workouts

Baker uses resistance bands for at-home workouts. “Can you get toned, can you get strong, can you get a good workout with resistance bands and hit weight-loss goals? Absolutely,” orthopedic clinical specialist and physical therapist Erika Mundinger tells Today. "Even if you’re not hitting the weight room, they're just great for overall functional strength that I need to have throughout my day.”

3. Weight Training

Baker lifts weights to build strength and burn fat. “Strength training helps you lose weight and keep it off by building muscle tissue,” say the experts at Beaumont Health. The more muscle mass you have, the higher your metabolic rate tends to be. More muscle also helps your body burn more fat than muscle, which is important if you want to lose weight and keep your strength.”

4. Homemade Ice Pops

Baker makes her own ice treats with strawberries, dates, bananas, and coconut milk. “Dates are high in fiber with about 7 grams per serving,” says Gillian Culbertson, RD, LD. “That’s the same amount of fiber as a cup of cooked whole wheat pasta or just under a half cup of lentils. Another benefit of eating dates is helping you reach your body’s daily iron quota.”

5. Coffee Lover

Baker enjoys coffee for the energy boost (and health benefits!). Experts say while coffee offers benefits, the ingredients added to certain caffeinated drinks can be very unhealthy. "Keep in mind that the research focuses on the benefits of black coffee, which we're still learning about," says Steven Rothschild, MD. "But we definitely know the harms associated with the fat and sugar you find in a lot of coffee drinks."

1. Newlywed Lifestyle

Lawrence married Love Island USA's Bennett Sipes in May 2022 in Los Angeles, and says she is living a healthier life these days. "I've cut out drinking and partying because we're going to Hawaii," she says. "We spend a lot of time with our families, with our dogs and we're so focused on work right now. We have fun, we go to dinner and stuff. We see some of our friends."

2. She Lifts Weights

Lawrence lifts heavy weights as part of her exercise routine. “Lean muscle mass naturally diminishes with age,” according to the Mayo Clinic. “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.”

3. She’s a Homebody

Lawrence describes herself as a homebody, and loves quiet time with her pets. “When we’re frazzled, our fight-or-flight response is on overload causing a host of problems,” says clinical health psychologist Amy Sullivan, PsyD, ABPP. “We can use calm, quiet moments to tap into a different part of the nervous system that helps shut down our bodies’ physical response to stress.”

Lawrence is taking a step into the business world by releasing her own perfume. "I bought every perfume we could think of,” she says. “I thought, 'There's so many that I love, and I was constantly mixing perfumes.' I realized I want girls to buy one fragrance and love it and not spend a ton of money because TikTok is telling them to. It's still in the process. I've had different samples, but I didn't like any of them. This is the first thing I am putting my face on, and I want it to be perfect. I found a new chemist in America, and it's going to take about four months. It's a bunch of my favorite perfumes combined into one. It will be sweet. I am going to start with one and then hopefully it does well.”

5. Too Hot To Handle

Lawrence has fond memories of her time on Too Hot To Handle. “I was having fun, and I wasn’t thinking about it,” she says. “I didn’t care if I was going to get judged, because I knew I was going to be judged regardless. Every episode that you see is genuinely me. Who wants to look at someone who’s not genuine online? It’s too fake and it gets boring. I could tell when some people weren’t being genuine on the show. I could see it myself, and it definitely comes through on camera.”

Hannah Goldy is a professional fighter for the UFC. She’s spending time in beautiful Orlando, and is enjoying a pool day. Goldy posted a new photo on Instagram of herself lounging by the pool. In it, she wore a beautiful lavender bikini, showing off her body. She captioned the post, "ViBezzzzzz.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Hannah Goldy 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 Works With Different Trainers

Being a professional fighter, Goldy has to stay in shape. One thing she does to stay in shape is by working with trainers. Goldy revealed that she likes to work with different people in this interview. “Every training session I learn something new,” she says.

2. She’s Preventing Injuries

Goldy also has to take care of her body with her career. In the same interview, she says that she actively works to prevent herself from getting injured. “I have just been really focusing on injury prevention at this fight camp,” she says. “I had to adjust my training a little bit.”

3. She’s Motivated

Goldy makes sure to stay motivated for her fights. One source of motivation for her is her son. She opened up about her process to Fight Library, saying, “The past two years was just fun to me. It prepared me in that sense. It’s motivation. He just started talking and before my last fight this last Tuesday, there were times I had to go do cardio at 9-10 at night. It’s a tough weight cut at ’15 for me. I’m in the gym a lot. There’s just times I’m laying on the couch and I’m just like, ‘Ugh, I don’t want to get up.’ And he starts saying, ‘Get up, mommy! Get up!’ He’ll start saying it and I’m like, oh man, I got to go to the gym. I got to take care of him. There’s no other option right now. I need to take care of my son and nobody’s going to stand in my way and I’m going to win fights for him.”

4. She Learns From Her Experiences

Being a fighter is difficult and it also means a lot of losses. However, Goldy makes sure to learn from her experiences and previous fights. She tells Fight Library, “The more fights I have before fighting the best fighters in the world, that’s cool. I’m just going to get better, keep sharpening my tools. I’m going to get where I want to get no matter what.”

5. She Embraces Her Body

A lot of professional fighting is a person’s body and weight, and Goldy embraces herself in every shape. She tells Fight Library, “I have people that know how to do it the right way with diet then sauna. I carry a lot of muscle for a female. A lot of it is water, which is nice for me. I think that 115 is my home right now. Like I said, I felt great in my last fight. I know my body enough to know how to cut down and feel good the next day. So I think I’ll stay at 115 for right now. But, if I got a good opportunity at 125, I’m not going to say I wouldn’t take it. I’m just trying to stay active and fight, and if it came around I’d take it at either weight class.”
