Fitness Influencer Gabby Scheyen in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Glute Workout"

Gabby Scheyen is building her glutes – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the fitness influencer shows off her amazing figure in a purple exercise set during an intense booty session at the gym. "If this glute workout looks familiar it's because @jennyyvanaa and i did the same one last week in my y0utube video👻 had to film it again for IG. it was THAT good," she captioned the Instagram video. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her top lifestyle tips. 

Gabby maintains that weight lifting was the ultimate game-changer for her. "I started out as a cardio bunny in 2012 (age 17), then began to deal with binge eating for a few years until I found my passion for lifting weights in 2014 (age 19). I am now 23 years old and I want to dedicate my life to helping girls (and boys!) avoid/recover from going through what I did as a teenager," she writes on her website. 

Gabby enjoys the perks of caffeine. She is so serious about her daily cup of Joe, that she has an entire coffee bar set up. "POV. I turn my morning coffee into a ritual," she writes on an Instagram video, decorating the bar with Halloween items. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. "It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function," they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

Gabby exercises her brain by reading. In a recent video, she takes her followers to the bookstore. One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years compared with people who weren't readers or who read periodicals. 

Here is an example of Gabby's"GLUTE DAY" workout. "I typically do full leg days, but a glute isolation day miiight be added to my training schedule now," she writes. "High volume daayyy with lighter weights."

• glute bridge machine (wish I had this @ home) 4×12-15
• smith bulgarian split squats 3×8-10/leg
• good morning/RDL/squat hybrid?? so good. 4×10-12
• kickbacks 3×10/leg

In a recent post, Gabby goes hiking in Canada, which "is one of the best ways to get exercise. No matter what type of trail you find yourself on, hiking is a great whole-body workout—from head to toe and everything in between," says the National Parks Service. Some of the physical benefits include building stronger muscles and bones, improving your sense of balance, improving your heart health, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems. It also offers many mental health benefits, according to a Stanford University study.
