Bethany Shadburne is breaking a sweat in her workout gear. In a new social media post the CrossFit athlete shows off her fit figure in a two-piece exercise set.“Superset weighted dips + landmine RDL 💪🏽🔥#dips #rdl #bodybuilding #accessorywork,” she captioned the Instagram video. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Sports From a Young Age

Bethany has been athletic from the start. “I got into fitness and working out at a very young age. I am the baby of four, and we were all very wild children! My mom put us all in swimming and soccer at first, and then at age five, I went into gymnastics,” she told O2 Hydration.

She Didn’t Take Care of Herself for Years

“The biggest change for me over the years is how I treat my body. When I was younger, I didn’t know how to take care of myself so that I could perform my best as an athlete. I just continually beat down my body without the right hydration and food, and I didn’t have a recovery routine. I went on crazy diets, and as a bodybuilder, I took fat burners and other junk that was really bad for me. I’ve battled a lot of GI issues as a result, and have worked hard to get my gut healthy. I’m really careful now about what I eat and drink,” she says.

Saunas

Bethany indulges in heat therapy.”I have really enjoyed sitting in the sauna lately so I will do that post workout and stretch in there for about 20-30 min. I also enjoy my Hyperice tools a lot! And, of course, I do foam rolling as necessary,” she added. Should you take a dry sauna? While some claim the health benefits of saunas are plentiful, including detoxification, increased metabolism, weight loss, increased blood circulation, pain reduction, antiaging, skin rejuvenation, improved cardiovascular function, improved immune function, improved sleep, stress management, and relaxation, there isn’t a lot of research backing up the claims.

Hydration and Sleep

And, she drinks a lot of water. “I also focus on hydrating, drinking a minimum of one gallon of water and replenishing electrolytes with lots of O2. I choose healthy foods, but I don’t skimp on the carbs! Sleep is also really important for me - I get 8-10 hours of sleep a night,” she says. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

CrossFit, Naturally

“With CrossFit, I have truly learned how my body works and functions and how to be in tune with it. I think I now know when to push myself and when to back off; unfortunately, that only comes through years of experience of doing it wrong,” she told O2 Hydration. “My least favorite part of CrossFit is the one-rep maxes and heavy lifting. I have been working on them a TON, but the progress is slow. I know I have to go into damage-control mode when those workouts come up at competitions!”

Long Workout Sessions

Bethany spends a lot of time at the gym. “My workouts vary based on the season and competition ahead of me. When things are busy, I can spend 7-8 hours a day in the gym!” she says. “Right now, I work out six days a week, some days are doubles and some are triples! During my one day off, I focus on active recovery.”

We are committed to bringing you researched, expert-driven content to help you make more informed decisions around food, health, and wellness. We know how important making choices about your overall health is, and we strive to provide you with the best information possible.

Jessica Brunick-Fitzgibbons is a successful fitness influencer and a prominent figure in the CrossFit world. Known for her dedication and expertise, she even teaches classes to help others on their fitness journeys. In August, she shared a video on Instagram of herself teaching at a gym, captioning it, “Just another day teaching at @crossfit.csa 🤗🤗🤗 #CrossFitCSA.” Here’s a closer look at how she stays in peak physical condition.

1. She Does CrossFit

CrossFit is naturally one of the ways Fitzgibbons stays in shape. Dignity Health states that the exercise has a lot of benefits. “With its emphasis on swift, high-intensity movements and a constant motivation to increase performance, speeds, and weight used on the exercise, CrossFit isn't without risks. The volume, intensity, difficulty, and required power output of many WODs might not be safe and maintainable for all, especially those with preexisting cardiac or orthopedic issues.”

2. She Does Squats

Fitzgibbons shared some of her favorite workouts in this Instagram video. In it, she is seen doing squats. Fitzgibbons captioned the post, “When traveling I still gotta get it in… Super Sets of Strict Pull Ups, Push Ups and Squats were on the addenda this day … #AlwaysWorking #JackedJessica.” Piedmont states that squats are very beneficial. “Squats are a compound, multi-joint movement, which means they exercise several muscle groups. When you perform a squat, you work your calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, core and part of your back.”

3. She Does Pullups

Jessica Brunick-Fitzgibbons.3Jessica Brunick-Fitzgibbons/Instagram

Fitzgibbons is seen doing pullups in the previous Instagram post. Asphalt Green states that the exercise is very beneficial. “Pull-ups are a fantastic way to improve upper-body strength. This exercise primarily targets your back and biceps, but involves many stabilizing muscles in your core, arms, and shoulders. Depending on the way you grip the bar, you can even work your chest. Plus, you don’t need any fancy equipment to do a pull-up. Tree branches, scaffolding, and even door frames are all places people can do pull-ups.”

4. She Does Pushups

Fitzgibbons is also seen doing pushups in the previous Instagram post. Allina Health states that the exercise has a lot of benefits. “The push-up: Strengthens your entire body. Burns calories. Because the push-up involves large muscle groups (arms, legs, back, abdomen) your heart has to pump harder, enhancing circulation and burning oxygen. Protects from lower back and shoulder injuries.”

5. She Uses Weights

In this Instagram video, Fitzgibbons is seen doing exercises with weights. ACE Fitness states that using weights has a lot of benefits. “Training with heavy weights helps you to improve your self-confidence. Knowing that you can lift heavy stuff gives you the confidence that you can handle common challenges, such as a putting a bag in the overhead bin on an airplane or carrying a heavy piece of furniture while reorganizing a room or helping a friend move.”

Professional CrossFit athlete Dani Speegle constantly challenges the limits of physical fitness, and she uses her substantial Instagram following to share glimpses of her rigorous regimen. Known for her intense competition routines and favorite workout sessions, Speegle recently captured attention with a striking set of photos at a competition, boldly captioning it, “Commit to the bit.”

She Lifts Weights

One thing Speegle does to keep herself in shape is lift weights. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself lifting weights. Speegle included a photo of herself lifting a barbell from a competition in this post. ACE Fitness states that lifting weights has a lot of benefits. “Lifting heavy weights elevates levels of anabolic hormones—specifically testosterone, growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1)—which are used to repair muscle fibers damaged during exercise. This helps the muscle fibers to become thicker and capable of generating higher levels of force.”

She Jumps Rope

Speegle shared this reel on Instagram of herself doing different exercises at a competition. One thing she is seen doing is jumping rope. Piedmont states that doing this can improve your coordination. “Jump rope exercises improve your foot coordination and help you focus on your feet. It also strengthens the muscles surrounding your foot and ankle joints, and it can help decrease foot and ankle injuries.”

She Does Lunges

Speegle is also seen doing lunges in her Instagram reel. According to ACE Fitness, lunges have a lot of health benefits. “Lunges work the biggest muscles in your lower body — mainly the quadriceps, gluteus maximus, and the adductor magnus (the muscle in your inner thigh). Other muscles that come into play are the hamstrings, gluteus medius, calves, and core stabilizers, says Susane Pata, content strategist for the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and NASM-certified personal trainer based in Miami.”

She Does Core Workouts

Dani Speegle does core work during CrossFit games.

Speegle is also seen doing core workouts in the previous Instagram reel. Core workouts are very important. According to The Mayo Clinic, “Your core is the central part of your body. It includes your pelvis, lower back, hips and stomach. The stomach muscles sometimes are called abs. Core exercises train the muscles in your core to work in harmony. This leads to better balance and steadiness, also called stability. Stability is important whether you're on the playing field or doing regular activities. In fact, most sports and other physical activities depend on stable core muscles.”

She Hikes

Speegle likes to hike to keep herself in shape. She shared these photos on Instagram of herself hiking in Sicily. Speegle captioned the post, “Just a constant battle to try and not say ‘I like that boulder…..that’s a nice boulder…’ whenever I look out at a view 🫏” Harvard Health states that hiking has a lot of benefits. “A number of small studies hint that spending time in green space — nature preserves, woodlands, and even urban parks — may ease people's stress levels. Giving the growing consensus that stress contributes to high blood pressure and heart disease risk, anything you can do to mitigate stress is likely helpful.”

Middleton is seen weightlifting in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness states that doing this has a lot of benefits. “Using maximal loads for compound (multi-joint) movements like the deadlift, squat-to-shoulder press, bent-over row or chest press can improve intermuscular coordination, which is the ability of many muscles to work together to generate and control high levels of force through multiple joints.”

2. She Does Squats

Middleton likes to do squats to keep herself in shape. She shared this video of herself doing them with a barbell on Instagram. Middleton captioned the post, “Wait for it if you want to know exactly how these 3x3x270lb/122kg front squats felt💚Building back these legs. It's been a while since I've been able to comfortably hit heavy squats. This was programmed to be 85% but I was going off of feel and positioning so it ended up being about 80% which I'm really happy about still. Progress and moving forward 👌Comment below if you want to try my squat program!”

3. She Works Out With Others

Middleton sometimes likes to work out with others. She shared this video on Instagram of herself working out with her friends.

P2: AMRAP Sled push/pull and DB farmers carry. *switch every 400* Games prep at its finest. Training with friends is my favorite. Even more with matching backpacks 🎒 #oscfsurge.”

4. She Slows Down

Middleton is all about slowing down and embracing the moments. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Slow down, take a pause, and embrace the movement. My strength program will help you do just that. Find a new challenge and build strength from the bottom up. If you are frustrated with your olympic lifts and squat capacity I can help you break down the barrier. DM me with questions ☺️”

5. She Does Clusters

Middleton likes to do clusters to stay in shape. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram video. “Bulky girl, doing bulky things 💁🏽‍♀️3x205 Clusters.

Alethea Boon, a seasoned CrossFit athlete and fitness expert, inspires her followers with her dedication and innovative approach to staying in shape. Known for her impressive strength and flexibility, she frequently shares workout tips and fitness challenges on Instagram. Recently, Boon posted a video highlighting her 30-day stretch challenge, emphasizing the importance of consistency and perseverance. From weightlifting to stretching, here’s how she keeps herself in peak physical condition.

She’s Consistent

Boon makes sure to stay consistent with her workouts. She talked about this in the caption of her recent post. “We all have our reasons for challenges. Mine is 1 press to handstand 🤸♀️ each day for 30 days. Why? To gain consistency facing something I personally find hard each day! Lots being learned as we go, I'm nearly there, staying focused and looking forward to pushing to the end. Here we go!”

She Stretches

As you can see from her Instagram post, Boon likes to stretch to keep herself in shape. Harvard Health states, “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”

She Lifts Weights

Boon likes to lift weights to keep herself in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing weight training. Boon captioned the post, “Day 1 of the Level 2 Burgerner Strength Weightlifting course is proving to be a valuable experience, filled with some great takeaways delivered through whiteboard & video theory discussion, combined with a healthy dose of hands-on practical learning. From physical assessment before even touching a barbell to all things Snatch! We delved further into points of performance for block work and drills ... and I mean so so so many valuable drills, to some fun building to a heavy for the day. It's been great to connect with new friends who share similar passions while having fun and gaining knowledge that can be immediately applied to our own training and coaching. I'm looking forward to day 2!”

She Does Bar Muscle Ups

Boon likes to do upper body workouts, like bar muscle ups. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing them. Boon captioned it, “BAR MUSCLE UP. There are many ways to learn a skill, many drills for the same skill, and not everyone responds to learning the same drills that is where coaching comes in (I can help here) BUT the fundamental of skill acquisition remains the same: ⭐️ Foundational strength ⭐️ Progressive dills ⭐️ Keep building strength in those positions ⭐️ Continue drills and progress. Rinse and repeat, repeat, repeat 😉”

She Walks

Boon likes to walk to keep herself in shape. In this Instagram reel, she is seen walking on the beach. Boon captioned the post, “Morning Connect. True-Fuelled. Meaningful and with gratitude. Get ready for something exciting! ... 🙊 🤫” Harvard Health states that walking has a lot of benefits. “Walking can help protect you during cold and flu season. A study of over 1,000 men and women found that those who walked at least 20 minutes a day, at least 5 days a week, had 43% fewer sick days than those who exercised once a week or less. And if they did get sick, it was for a shorter duration, and their symptoms were milder.”

Ana Zelu is a professional model and social media influencer. She is known for her content in nature. Zelu recently shared a post on Instagram of herself on a surfboard in the ocean. She captioned it, “Yesterday was such a fun shoot, I just had to share these with you 🤍 🛥️But picture number #4?? That photobomb totally got me 😂 Which picture is your favorite ?🌊”

She Swims

As you can see from her post, Zelu likes to swim. The Mayo Clinic states that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Swimming is often touted as a great workout for all ages, offering benefits not only for the body, but also for the mind. As a form of exercise, swimming keeps your heart rate up and builds muscle strength. It also can be a great form of stress relief.”

She Doesn't Compare Herself to Others

Zelu shares a lot of her thoughts on Instagram. In this post, she talked about no longer comparing herself to others. “Dear Diary 💭📝, Today’s contemplation led me to a profound understanding of the detrimental impact comparison has on our lives. It’s like a silent intruder, subtly creeping into our thoughts and poisoning our perception of ourselves and others. It’s a universal struggle, one that weighs heavily on the hearts of many. I’ve come to realize that comparison is the ultimate thief of joy. It robs us of our ability to appreciate our own journey and achievements, as we constantly measure ourselves against an idealized version of others. I’ve resolved to break free from its grasp. We should choose to celebrate our own unique path, recognizing that each step forward is a triumph in itself. Rather than fixating on external benchmarks set by others, I’m focusing on personal growth and development. Whether it’s through learning new skills, cultivating gratitude, or simply practicing self-compassion, every effort counts.”

She Hikes

Zelu is seen on a hike in the previous Instagram post. Harvard Health states that hiking is very beneficial. “Like brisk walking, hiking is a good way to improve your cardiovascular fitness, particularly if your route includes some hills, which will force your heart to work harder. Taking a hike on the slightly uneven surface of a trail also provides a natural way to engage the core muscles in your torso and to hone your balance skills.”

She’s Resilient

Resilience is another important thing to Zelu. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Dear Diary 💭📝, I witnessed something truly remarkable that touched my heart deeply. It’s amazing how people can go through the toughest storms in life and yet remain gentle, patient, and kind. I saw someone who faced challenges that would break most people, yet they chose to respond with grace and humility. Their ability to stay calm and compassionate in the face of adversity is nothing short of admirable. It made me realize the beauty of resilience – the strength to keep going even when life throws its hardest punches. These individuals not only endure the storms but also emerge from them with a spirit that shines brighter than before. Their example reminds me of the power of kindness and the importance of staying true to oneself, even in the darkest of times. It’s a reminder that even in the midst of chaos, there is beauty to be found 💕🫶”

She’s Accepted Herself

Zelu talked about the importance of acceptance in this Instagram post’s caption. “Dear Diary 💭📝, Today has been a rollercoaster of emotions, but amidst it all, I feel like I’ve taken a step closer to the right direction. Letting go of the past is like shedding a heavy coat I’ve been carrying for far too long. It’s not easy to release the memories, the pain, the regrets, but today, I made a choice to loosen the grip they had on me. It’s like taking a deep breath after being underwater for too long—refreshing and liberating. Forgiving myself has been a journey filled with tears and moments of self-doubt. But today, I finally understood that I deserve the same forgiveness and understanding I give to others. It’s like giving myself a warm hug, wrapping myself in kindness and acceptance.”

She Likes Sweet Potatoes

She Does Squats

She Strength Trains

The Mayo Clinic states, “Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age.”

She Boxes

Harvard Health states, “Aerobic exercise gets your heart pumping and helps lower the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. It can strengthen bones and muscles, burn more calories, and lift mood. Aerobics can also boost your endurance, which helps you climb a flight of stairs or walk farther.”

Mica Viciconte is a TV personality. She is known for participating in Combate Argentina. A few weeks ago, Viciconte took a beach vacation in Mexico.

She's Consistent

Viciconte makes sure to stay consistent with her wellness routine. She talked about this in the caption of this workout video on Instagram. “Eating well and exercising regularly helps you maintain your weight and reduce your risk of disease. Regular exercise and a healthy diet can bring many benefits, including more energy, happiness, health, and even a longer life. It's something we all know but we always make excuses for. So hopefully you can start moving your body little by little and eat a little better and obviously enjoy something delicious on the weekends 😋.”

In the previous Instagram video, Viciconte is seen doing squats. Allina Health reports that squats are very beneficial to do. “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. Include squats in your exercise routine two to three days a week to reap the benefits from this dynamite move.”

Viciconte is also seen doing hip thrusts in her Instagram video. Gymless states that the exercise has a lot of health benefits. “Hip thrusts, as a compound movement, aid in increasing lower body strength and power, enhancing athletic abilities such as running, jumping, and powerlifting. By strengthening the posterior chain muscles, you can enhance your posture and lower the risk of back pain and muscle strain. Strong glutes and hamstrings contribute to hip and knee stability, minimizing injury risks in sports and daily life.”

Viciconte is seen using a stationary bike in the previous Instagram video. Doing this can help strengthen your muscles. Penn State PRO Wellness explained, “Riding a stationary bike can help build strength in your legs and lower body, especially if you use a higher resistance. The pedaling action can help strengthen your calves, hamstrings, and quadriceps. Additionally, it can work the muscles in your core, back, and glutes. If you use a bicycle with handles, you’ll also be able to work your upper body muscles, including your biceps, triceps, and shoulders.”

She Runs

Viciconte shared this Instagram video of herself working out. In it, she is seen doing running exercises. Viciconte captioned it, “When we exercise, our body releases endorphin, a natural substance produced by the brain during and after physical activity. The release of endorphin, also known as the 'joy hormone', helps you relax, reduces stress, anxiety and improves your mood. I always say that it's never too late to start moving, so you know that tomorrow you have no excuse 💪🏻”
