Ellie Turner is getting her sweat on in her workout gear. In a new social media post the CrossFit athlete shows off her strong body during and intense workout session at the gym, wearing a purple crop top and black leggings. “Workin out, having fun,” she captioned the Instagram video adding the hashtags #crossfit #crossfitgames #rehab #nutrition #lunges #bench #bike #crossfitgirls #strength #strengthtraining #conditioning. “Beautiful Queen,” one of her followers commented. “Gettin it💪🏼🕺🏻,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


1. Recovery

Recovery is a key part of training, per Ellie. “For me, recovery is just as important as training but it doesn’t have to be over complicated. Being a crossfitter, you always want all the new and latest gadgets, but recovery can be as simple as doing what makes you happy and refills your cup. Ocean dips, cuddling your dog, sauna, journaling etc. This can also change from week to week, sometimes I want to be with friends in the outdoors and other times I just want to stay in bed. Do whatever you feel you need but make sure you are getting AT LEAST one day of time outside of the gym walls,” she told Alpha Fit.

2. Sleep

She also discusses the importance of rest. “Sleep falls under recovery but it is such an important tool that it deserves its own heading. I’m someone that struggles with sleep because my mind is always racing. It’s definitely gotten better but I notice a massive difference when I don’t follow my sleep routine. Find what works for you because getting a good night’s sleep, not only quantity but quality can really accelerate your recovery and training,” she said.

3. Stretching

“Being a physiotherapist, I never feel like I have done enough prehab or warm up before I start so if I don’t have a routine I would warm up all day. I think its super helpful to have a rough structure that whenever you go into the gym you follow so your body knows that whenever you do this, you are about to work out. The exercises may change slightly but the flow stays the same. For example, I always foam roll and lacrosse ball then I’ll jump on a cardio machine for 10mins and then start a specific warm up for that particular training day. E.g. if I’m doing squats I’ll do some hip openers and activate my glutes and If I’m doing gymnastics I’ll do a chest or thoracic opener and then activate my shoulders,” Ellie told Alpha Fit about the importance of rest.

4. Yoga

Ellie does yoga. “My favourite way to chill and bring my nervous system back to some normality post training session!” she captioned a post. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”

5. Fueling Her Body with Healthy Food

As for diet, Ellie fuels her body with healthy eats. “Food is one of the biggest tools to help you recover and perform your best consistently. Making sure you are not only eating enough but fuelling appropriately around your training so you aren’t hitting slumps is super important. For a sport like CrossFit carbs are your best friend!” she said.

Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Arielle Loewen is walking on her hands – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the CrossFit athlete shows off her strength and amazingly fit figure in a two-piece exercise set during a competition. “Defying gravity,” she captioned the Instagram photo. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Balancing Family Life with the Gym

“I think I’m able to balance it pretty easily because I approach training differently than most CrossFit athletes. I’ve learned that, for me, less is more when it comes to being in the gym, so I have a few hours of high intensity training, and then plenty of family time,” Arielle told The Barbell Spin. “I am in the gym from about 11 AM – 1:30 PM, and then sometimes back for an evening session after my daughter goes to sleep. I train around her schedule and am able to make breakfast and spend time with her in the morning, and then we get to enjoy the afternoon and evening together. If I need to take her to gymnastics, dance lessons or to the park, I can, because I’ve gotten my workout done.”

Macros

Arielle counts macros using MyFitnessPal. Her main focus? Consuming enough protein. “Here's a look inside what I eat in a day as a full-time mom & CrossFit athlete! I love when I hit my protein goal! I weight around 150lbs & my goal is to get 150g of protein a day!@myfitnesspalmakes it easy to see exactly how much protein I'm consuming a day 🥩🍗,” she captioned a post.

Cycling

Like most CrossFit athletes, Arielle spends a great deal of time cycling. Here she is on the airbike. The Cleveland Clinic explains that 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.

Hiking

Arielle enjoys outdoor exercise. Here she is hiking in Scotland. 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 certain respiratory problems.

Training While Pregnant

Arielle didn’t let her pregnancy keep her from CrossFit. While she “scaled down her training significantly” she did a noon class four to five days a week. She also focused on eating “a good meal,” such as meat, potatoes, and veggies, throughout her pregnancy. As her pregnancy progressed she reduced intensity. “CrossFit was definitely good for my physical health, but also my mental health,” Loewen said. “Everything about my body was changing. But the one thing I knew was showing up to the noon class and doing the class workout was my mental escape,” she told CrossFit.

CrossFit Competitor Kari Pearce is "Feeling Extra Thankful"

"Stop and think about (or even write down) things we are thankful for."

Kari Pearce is a CrossFit competitor. She also has a large following on Instagram. On Thanksgiving, Pearce shared a set of photos on her account of herself and her husband on a hike. She captioned it, “Feeling extra thankful this year for so much that this last year has brought to my life and has taught me. I often feel like Thanksgiving gets overlooked because it is lost between Halloween and Christmas but it truly is a day we can and should stop and think about (or even write down) things we are thankful for. Here are my three that come to mind right away. 1. My amazing husband @m7mcclune who I can’t imagine life without. 2. My amazing family who is always there for me. 3. The memories I have and the opportunities I have been able to create for myself due to hard work and going after my dreams. Now it is your turn. What are you thankful for? I’d love to hear it! Happy Thanksgiving!”

She Hikes

Pearce is seen hiking in her Instagram post. Harvard Health states that hiking has a lot of benefits. “A rigorous hike may offer many of the same physical benefits as interval training, which alternates low- and high-intensity exercise to increase cardiovascular fitness. During a hike, your heart rate goes up as you move up an incline and drops when you head downhill.”

She Does Burpees

Pearce shared this video on Instagram of herself doing burpees. She shared a burpee challenge in the caption of the post. “The best way to warm up for @crossfitgames 24.1: 1. Put on your favorite song (Thunderstruck by AC/DC) 2. Do a burpee every time they say thunder. 3. By the end your heart rate will be up and you’ll be nice and warm 😜You’ll never think about the song the same way! Good luck to everyone taking on the open this weekend! 💪🏻 And this song is fitting anytime you want to get in a few extra burpees as well!”

She Does Pull-Ups

Pearce does a lot of pull-ups to keep herself in shape. She opened up about why this exercise is important to her in the caption of this Instagram post. “One goal that I have for myself is no matter where I’m at in my life, I want to be able to do a strict pull up! I remember being one of the few girls in elementary school that could do pull ups. People would say, well that’s just because you’re a gymnast. And while yes, that might be true. Other girls would have been able to do them too if they hadn’t been put down all the time. Instead of telling someone they can’t do something, how about we encourage them until they can 😉 A shout out to all my women out there doing things they were once told they wouldn’t be able to ❤️”

She Does Compound Movements

Pearce revealed in this Instagram video that she likes to do compound exercises to keep herself in shape. She captioned it, “Two of my favorite movements: Rope Climbs and Bench Press! I love compound movements (working more than just one muscle group) and have been sticking to those recently to get the most bang for my buck while working out. I dare you to give this combo a try if you’re looking for a simple but good muscle building pair! If you don’t have a rope, you can do pull ups 😉”

She Swims

Pearce likes to swim to keep herself in shape. She included a photo of herself in the pool in this Instagram post from Puerto Vallarta. Pearce captioned it, “Mexico agrees with me.” The Mayo Clinic states that swimming have 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.”

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

Dani Speegle does lunges during CrossFit games.

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.”

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.”

How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

She Doesn't Go Under the Knife

Sophie claims she hasn’t gone under the knife. “It’s your own body, you can do what you want to,” she told Grazia, weighing in on the show’s reputation for girls getting work done. “I wouldn’t have surgery myself; I don’t want it. I’ve got such a low pain tolerance as well; I’d be squirming around.”

She Gets Her Steps In

Stand Up Paddle Boarding

Sophie loves paddle boarding. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and cardio. Water sports can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140-pound male and 436 calories for a female of the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.

She Skis

When Sophie hits the mountains, she throws on a pair of skis. “Ski club,” she captioned a photo. Research has linked downhill skiing to several health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, the prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress, and the occurrence of memory deficits decline.

She Loves Group Fitness

“You’ve got to be body confident,” Sophie told Grazia. One of her favorite sweat methods? Group fitness. “A few gym classes can’t hurt,” she said.

She Goes Snorkeling

On her recent Maldives vacation, Sophie and Josh snorkeled in the crystal clear water. Surprisingly, putting on a snorkel and fins and swimming through the water is a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.

Tammy Hembrow is a fitness influencer and expert. She has her own app, called Tammy Fit. Hembrow has a lot of challenges on her app. Recently, she advertised a challenge with a workout video on Instagram. Hembrow captioned the post, “We are 3 days into our first @tammyfitapp challenge of the year & I am more motivated than everrrrr. (Sign ups are still open if you haven’t joined yet - there’s still time to catch up!! - link in bio). Soooo happy seeing so many of my girlies (and guys) in this challenge doing it with me!! And I CANNOT wait to see everyone’s results at the end of the 8 weeks. We got thissss 💪🏼”

She Does Pulldowns

Hembrow is seen doing pulldowns in her Instagram video. Piedmont reports that pulldowns have a lot of benefits. “The lat pulldown is a fantastic exercise for strengthening the latissimus dorsi muscle, the broadest muscle in your back. This muscle promotes good posture and spinal stability. Form is crucial when performing a lat pulldown to prevent injury and reap the best results.”

She Lifts Weights

Hembrow is seen doing a lot of exercises with weights in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness states that using weights to workout has a lot of benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

She Tracks Her Meals

Hembrow likes to track her meals on her app. She talked about the benefits of this in the caption of this “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. “Make sure to take advantage of the calorie/macro tracking features in the @tammyfitapp during this challenge guys. It can be really helpful in reaching specific goals quicker. And it also can help educate you on your food choices when it comes to nutrition, ratios, hidden calories, overeating or under eating etc. honestly I’d recommend any beginner try it out just to get a good feel for how you’re fuelling your body!! I feel like when people think of ‘meal tracking’ it can be seen as something that seems restrictive or something only bodybuilders do. When in reality it can be such a helpful tool and you can learn things that will actually encourage long term habits 🫶🏼🫶🏼”

She Loves Bananas

Hembrow is seen enjoying bananas in her “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. The Cleveland Clinic states that bananas have a lot of benefits. “A single medium-sized banana offers about 32 mg of the mineral magnesium, which fulfills around 8% to 10% of your daily magnesium requirement. Magnesium is involved in many processes in your body, including: Blood pressure. Blood sugar levels. Building proteins. Maintaining bone. Muscle function. Nerve function.”

She Loves Cottage Cheese

Tammy Hebrew's snack the contains banana and cottage cheese.

Hembrow is seen enjoying her bananas with cottage cheese in the previous Instagram video. Cottage cheese is very healthy. UCLA Health reports, “Cottage cheese’s protein content and low calories make it an ideal food for weight management.

It’s hard to believe that Jennifer Aniston is 55 and turning 56 in February! Since soaring to fame in 1994, the Friends star has hardly aged in the three decades that have passed – and she has never been secretive about her devotion to health and wellness. Her hard work over the years has paid off through her strong and lean body and ageless looks. Here is everything you need to know about Jennifer Aniston’s approach to longevity.

She Maintains a High Protein Diet

"My nutrition is very much the same. It's usually a lot of high protein, vegetables, salads, soups,” she tells People. “I do 80/20. I give myself days where I can have whatever I want. I don’t deprive myself,” she added to TODAY. Why should you consider amping up your protein intake? According to clinical trials, consuming more protein than the recommended dietary allowance not only reduces body weight (BW) but also enhances body composition by decreasing fat mass while preserving fat-free mass (FFM) in both low-calorie and standard-calorie diets.

She Cheats on Occasion

Jennifer allows herself to indulge in “everything I would possibly want on a weekend,” she told People. Her cheat meal “depends,” she says. “I mean, dare I sound repetitive, but Mexican food is a real favorite of mine. It's not even that much of a cheat, to be honest. Or a cheeseburger or pizza or pasta — all that stuff.”

She Tries to Get Enough Sleep

“My bigger challenge is sleep. I think that’s all part of our nutritional hygiene — the amount of water we get as well as the amount of sleep we get. It’s the combination of all of those things that make your workouts the most effective," she told TODAY.

“I’ve become gentler with myself,” she says of her approach to fitness, which has “definitely evolved” over the years. “I find that I can be gentler on my body and still get the benefits of a great workout,” she told Prevention. She specifically loves P.Volve workouts, a functional fitness that helps you “function throughout the day” and “work out your essential muscle groups to keep your body strong,” she says. “So you can live a long, healthy, strong life.”

She Hydrates

Aniston prioritizes hydration, drinking a whopping 100 ounces of water per day. "But occasionally I just have to have a Diet Coke—there's nothing like it!" According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

“I had an injury last fall and I was only able to do Pilates, which I absolutely love. But I was missing that kind of sweat when you just go for it,” she recently told InStyle. “I'm going back to my 15-15-15, which is a 15-minute spin, elliptical, run. And then just old school: I can chase myself around a gym. I need some kind of movement, even if it's just 10 minutes a day on a trampoline.”
