Celeb Trainer Melissa Alcantara in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "The Best Oatmeal Recipe"

Melissa Pfeister is sharing a “work it Wednesday” workout – in her two-piece workout clothes. In a new social media post the trainer and fitness influencer shows off her amazing body in skintight workout wear while breaking a sweat. “Want a lady in the streets but a freak in the…gym 😜💪🏻🔥 #workitwednesday,” she captioned the video. If you want to sweat like Melissa – and eat like her – here is everything you need to know about her workout and eating habits.

1. Here Is Her Workout

In the clip, Melissa does 12 to 15 reps of each exercise and 2 to 3 sets:

1. Plank row
2. Weighted crunch reach
3. Plank pull thrus

“This was more of a core workout but overall a pretty good workout,” explains Kendra Gamble, HIT Fitness Training, Huntingdon Valley, PA, NPTI Certified Personal Trainer and Nutritional Consultant. “I would have thrown in a rotational exercise or some oblique exercise to target the entire core.”

2. Recreating Her Favorite Dishes in a “Healthy Way”

Melissa, who competed on Food Network Star, explains her goal when it comes to cooking. “I take foods that maybe aren’t the best for you and re-create them in a healthy way,” she told them. “My greatest strength I would say is adapting. I eat healthy, and I have a lot of allergies ... I’ve always had allergies my whole life. ... Lactose, dairy, I’ve always been that, and then as I started getting older, more allergies developed. So, you really have to learn how to, like, get creative with food if you want to be able to eat something. ... If cheese is in something, what else can I put in it?”

3. Living Off Green Drinks

Melissa also loves to drink her greens. “Some people may think it’s weird — I don’t. I live off of green drinks where it’s, like, you know, your kale your spinach your parsley your apple,” she says.

4. Baked French Fries and Chicken Fingers

Melissa’s signature dish? “It’s baked, not fried, French fries, but they have flavor; they have taste. Or chicken fingers, but same thing — a healthy version. So ... simple things,” she says.

5. Cheat Meals

Her “guilty pleasure” food? “I mean, Dairy Queen for sure. The thing is I’m happy that I don’t know here Dairy Queen is around me in LA, so it’s kind of a good thing. But when in doubt, if it’s, like, ‘no, I don’t care, I am just going for it,’ then I will just drive myself to the store, and I will get an either Oreo or cookie dough ice cream, and then I’ll be sick, because [of] my dairy issues. But eating it those few bites — it’ll be worth it.” She admits, “if my stomach would allow me to eat a Dairy Queen Blizzard every day, I would eat one, extra Oreos and cookie dough. You go big or go home. That’s it.”

6. Eating Out, But Healthy

Melissa, a member of the ETNT Medical Review board, explained to the publication that eating out at restaurants doesn’t have to be sinful. "It's all about the choices you make," says Melissa. "For instance, my first thought [of a healthy option] would be a sushi restaurant with lots of edamame and lots of fresh fish and seafood, but then again, you can order fried rock shrimp tempura in a creamy aioli sauce there, too. You just have to look a little harder and be a little more creative, but healthy options are always, always there."

Melissa Joan Hart is celebrating workout success – in her exercise clothes. In a new social media post the Sabrina the Teenage Witch star shows off her amazing body after a sweat session at her husband’s gym. “When the hot 🔥 owner is your husband, you get a shoulder ride to post your 100th class photo on the wall! @bft_brentwood,” she captioned the post. “This is the best!! Way to go sis!!!” commented one of her followers. “Lucky lucky man…” added another. How does the actress approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Motivation: Her Family

It’s all about motivation when it comes to weight loss, according to Melissa who lost 40 pounds in 2014. “Being able to take off layers or put on a jean that’s a size smaller is so refreshing and it just makes it easier just to move through life,” she said in a video for E! “Especially when chasing children. It just makes it easier for me to play with them and run after them and have the energy.” She added: “Staying in shape and staying fit is so important in my life just because of all the things I want to do.” Some more weight loss benefits? “It just made me happier. It made me feel physically and emotionally lighter to be able to do the things I wanna do, to be able to wear the clothes I wanna wear, to be able to feel sexy around my husband again,” she said. “I’m very proud of myself.”

2. Workouts with Her Husband

Melissa’s husband, who owns BFT Brentwood, a Nashville workout studio that focuses on group strength training and conditioning, is her personal trainer. “Since he’s such an avid workout guy, I wanted to have him train me to see how my body could shift and change,” she told People. While she takes classes like everyone else, she also trains with him for one hour, three times a week, mostly focusing on weight training.

3. Cardio Twice a Week

Melissa also does cardio two other days a week. Her go-to form is spinning. Why is it a great workout? According to the Cleveland Clinic, biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.

4. Shakes

Melissa is a fan of Slim Fast shakes. “If my kids are eating something I don’t want, like pizza or burgers, I can have a shake, and it’s satisfying,” Melissa told Us. “It gets me through the night without any cravings, and I feel so much better the next day.”

5. Treat Yourself

Melissa doesn’t deprive herself. "One of my slimming secrets is to treat yourself. It can't be about deprivation. If I want to have a piece of cake or a slice of pizza, I do. And then I get back on track the next day," she told Us.

Fitness influencer Kayla Itsines built a successful business with her training and workout programs, but still shares plenty of content for free on her social media (thanks Kayla!). Itsines, 32, posted a video of herself black workout shorts and a sports bra, showing followers how to perfect a hover and shoulder tap. “You are a nonstop inspiration for me, and I just wanted to thank you for your positivity, realness, great attitude, and persistence. You're a great force in the world! ✨” a fan commented. Here’s what Itsines’ approach to wellness looks like, and her best workout advice.

1. Her Daily Workout

Itsines combines low and high impact exercises for her personal workout routine. “My BBG program [now called High Impact with Kayla] consists of three resistance workouts per week which I normally schedule on a Monday, Wednesday and Friday,” she tells Vogue Australia. “With my current schedule, working out at 7:30pm at night has been working best for me as Arna has gone to sleep and my family is around to watch over her so I know I can get 28-minutes in without being interrupted. I’ve also been aiming for four to five LISS (low-intensity steady state cardio) sessions per week which I’ll often do first thing in the morning on my treadmill at home before Arna wakes up."

2. Olive Oil With Breakfast

Itsines’ breakfast changes depending on whether she’s eating at home, or in a cafe (where eggs are usually her first choice). “If I’m eating breakfast at home, I’ll often have a lot of vegetables with two pieces of toast,” she says on her website. “If they are in season, I eat tomatoes, capsicum (bell pepper) and cucumbers from Yiayia and Papou's garden, and if I feel like it, I might add some avocado. I drizzle olive oil over the vegetables, along with some fresh basil, dried oregano, and salt and pepper. I eat my toast with olive oil (yes, that’s even more olive oil — what can I say, I’m Greek!) as I prefer it to butter. I’m lactose sensitive (I used to have lactose intolerance as a kid) so I try to limit my dairy intake where I can, and in the case of butter, I actually just don’t like the taste. I’ll also have a Turkish coffee with breakfast at home.”

3. Protein and Carbs

Itsines’s lunch and dinner vary depending on who she is enjoying her food with. “If I’m at home, I’ll often make a quick tuna salad,” she says on her website. “When we eat [dinner] together as a family, we have a lot of shared dishes on the table, and we each eat a selection of the dishes we like! Usually, there are pasta dishes, salads, roasted vegetables and meat including skewers, baked chicken schnitzel, or gyros (yiros or kebab). My aunt is Thai, so we also have Thai dishes with our family dinners, which I LOVE. She’s originally from northern Thailand and the curries and noodle dishes she makes are spicy and SO good! My basic principle for dinner is to always include protein, carbohydrates, and LOTS of vegetables.”

4. Try Anything Once

Itsines isn’t afraid of new challenges. “Fitness is such a big part of my life and I truly love what I do, so I don't think there is any exercise that I wouldn't try,” she tells Vogue Australia. “Like anybody, there are some exercises that I don’t love but I understand how they benefit my body and workout, so I’ll push through instead of avoiding them. I think as women, we don't realize how strong we really are and sometimes trying something new is a great way to build confidence, even if you don’t nail it the first time round.”

5. One Day At a Time

Itsines knows fitness is a journey that isn’t completed overnight. “Truth is, there are no quick fixes or tricks that are going to help you tone up ‘quicker’,” she tells Vogue Australia. “It’s important to have a healthy relationship with exercise, and that you are working out to feel good, not just for physical results. I want women to include fitness as part of their lifestyle, and with a healthy balanced diet and consistent exercise, you are going to see both mental and physical results. It’s so important to be realistic in your goals and put in the hard work to achieve them.”

Fitness influencer Krissy Cela is showing social media followers what a typical upper body workout looks like for her, using what she describes as very heavy weights. Cela shared pictures and video of herself wearing green leggings and a white crop top, using a barbell and machines at her home gym. Cela is the queen of proving motivation for women to look and feel their best—here’s what her daily routine looks like, and the one thing she can’t start her day without.

1. Gym and App Workouts

Cela works out four times a week, combining at-home workouts with the gym. “Right now, I'm still training in the gym, so for me, I'm doing the Strong program on the Tone and Sculpt app,” she told Closer. “Each week, I do a glute and hamstring workout, quads and calves and then I'll do two upper-body sessions, so I technically train four days a week. I just find that suited me and is enough because I can't maintain training six days a week, it's just too much for my schedule.”

2. Discipline, Not Motivation

Cela doesn’t rely on motivation to work out every day—she immediately puts her gym clothes on after brushing her teeth. “Don't think twice, I just put my workout gear on,” she told Closer. “Then I'll drink my coffee or have my pre-workout. I'm either working out in my little home gym or I am going to the gym and I'll train for one hour, tops. Then I'll shower and get ready, then the one thing I love to do is read on the train. I love taking this time just to read because I know when I'll get to the office, it'll be insane. Taking the time to be productive and get my mental state ready is crucial.”

3. Overnight Oats

Cela enjoys overnight oats for breakfast. “Without a doubt, the breakfast I always have is one cup of oats, one scoop of fudge brownie protein powder, a handful of raspberries or frozen blueberries and peanut butter,” she told Women’s Health. “It's so easy to make - I make it overnight as well, if I don't have time in the morning. I'm on the go constantly, so I need to find something quick and effective that will keep me fuller for longer. That's why oats are so great because they're so complex and will give you that energy that you need.”

4. Protein and Pre-Workout

Cela has a protein shake every single day. “I also love pre-workout, because I'm a caffeine addict,” she told Closer. “I always take probiotic pills which helps my digestion and hormones. I have also started using collagen in my coffee now, it really helps me kickstart my day.”

5. She’s a Dog Person

Cela enjoys the many health benefits of having a beloved pet. “A non-negotiable I do every single morning is I have to snuggle my dog,” she told Women’s Health. “I'm that person – if I don't get to snuggle my golden retriever Buttons, then I just feel like my day is simply not ready to start. She is literally my life and soul. If you're a dog person, you will understand. So, in the morning she jumps up on my bed, we snuggle for a couple minutes and then I'm ready to go.”
