Niamh Cullen is a successful fitness influencer and trainer, known for motivating her followers with her dedication to wellness. Recently, she shared some behind-the-scenes shots of herself before and after teaching a double spin class, wearing black workout clothes. “Before double,” she captioned one photo, followed by “After double” on another. Cullen’s commitment to fitness and inspiring others is evident in both her personal routine and the encouragement she gives to her community.

1. She Works Out In The Morning

Cullen shared some of her fitness secrets with VIP Magazine. She says that one way she works out consistently is by doing so in the morning. “I do my usual things, prep my gym gear for the morning, I get moving first thing when I wake up whether it be a walk, a run, a zoom class, yoga or just simple stretching. I find when you start your day off with some sort of movement this will help you keep you motivated.”

2. She Schedules Workouts

Cullen tells VIP Magazine that she likes to schedule workouts. “I also plan out my days, so for example it could be Monday run day, Tuesday mobility, Wednesday HIIT- get a little plan going. Set goals and little targets. I also keep in touch with my friends and we do things together. My friends now join my lives that I’m giving every Tuesday and Thursday so it’s helping them keep motivated because there is always one 100% committed and another not feeling motivated so the encouragement of others will always keep you going.”

3. She Does Mobility Workouts

Cullen shared some of her favorite workouts with VIP Magazine. “One thing I would recommend is mobility sessions/workouts as these are great for opening up your body, to get those important stretches in,” she said. “We aren’t moving a lot now with these restrictions so bodies can be tight. Hips and legs can feel so free with just some simple moves.”

4. She Does Bodyweight Workouts

Cullen is a big fan of bodyweight workouts. She tells Evoke, “The best kind of training is actually bodyweight training so for anyone who was used to going to the gym, doing their weights and strengths, there’s so much that you can do with bodyweight at home. There are exercises with a chair, you can do exercises with 2 liter bottles of water, you don’t actually need equipment, all you need is a nice space, some water, and a good playlist and you can really get going.”

5. She Uses A Stationary Bike

As you can see from her Instagram stories, Cullen uses a stationary bike to stay in shape. Penn State PRO Wellness states that using a stationary bike has a lot of health benefits. “Depending on the intensity of your workout and your body weight, you can burn more than 600 calories an hour with a stationary bike workout. This makes indoor cycling an excellent workout option for burning calories quickly.”

Nikki Metzger, a trailblazing fitness influencer and co-founder of BODI, is the epitome of strength and style. Known for blending high-energy workouts with a grounded approach to wellness, Metzger recently turned heads on Instagram, modeling a sleek black workout ensemble from her brand’s collection. In her post, she showcased her dynamic personality and commitment to fitness while emphasizing the importance of balance in life. From playing pickleball with her husband to incorporating pole workouts into her routine, Nikki proves that staying active can also be fun and empowering. Her ability to embrace her multifaceted nature—balancing fierce determination with playful creativity—sets her apart as a true fitness leader.

She Embraces All Sides of Herself

Metzger talked about embracing all sides of herself in the caption of this Instagram post. “Embracing my dual essence: merging the strength of a fierce boss babe with the allure of feminine grace. I have become more guarded over the years, and I crave a sense of openness, playfulness, and freedom that feels lost. As a business owner I have to operate with a lot of masculine get shit done energy, yet I crave to rekindle the soft sensuality that makes me feel the most like me. Adding dance into my life has been one of my favorite ways to reconnect to that side of me. Strength meets sensuality, power meets grace. You feel me?”

She Plays Pickleball

Metzger and her husband like to play pickleball together. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram video. “I'm entering my pickleball era! Who wants to play w Nick and I? We had ourselves a little Thursday morning date! Dropped Mase off at school then walked over to the @phoenicianscottsdale for a pickleball lesson w/ @dinkpositive. Walked home and grabbed our cruisers and rode into oldtown and got breakfast @bcbreakfastclub *also we played on a pickelball court, I just took pics on the tennis court. Don’t come for me 🤣”

She Does Pole Workouts

Another thing that Metzger does to stay in shape is pole workouts. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing a routine. Metzger captioned it, “⚡️TRY NOT TO GET DIZZY 😜 3 months into pole and it has been an absolute blast being a beginner and challenging myself to something new! I got a long ways to go but that’s the fun part! Thanks to the ladies @purplepalacepolestudio for being my escape from work, life, stress 🥹🤍🙏🏼”

She Does TRX

Metzger shared this video of herself working out on Instagram. One thing she is seen doing is using TRX cables. These exercises have a lot of health benefits. NIFS states, “There are several benefits to using TRX in your workout. Science proves that it is effective in increasing muscular strength! Here are a few that really stick out: Incorporates nearly every muscle of the human body. If you have ever taken a class or done some of even the most basic exercises, you quickly see that core activation is one of the most important aspects.”

She Lifts Weights

Meghan Callaway, a fitness expert and influencer, is known for her practical advice and innovative workout techniques. From mastering step-ups to challenging core exercises, she consistently shares tips to optimize fitness routines. In a recent Instagram post, Callaway focused on perfecting step-ups, emphasizing proper form and technique: “Step-ups are a great exercise when performed correctly. Unfortunately, most people do not do them properly, so they do not obtain the full benefits.” Here’s a closer look at her approach to fitness and self-care.

She Does Step-Ups

As you can see from her Instagram post, Callaway likes to do step-ups to keep herself in shape. She shared her tips for doing them properly in the caption. “✅ When you are performing step-ups, the leg that is elevated on the surface should be doing most of the work (I prefer at least 75%). ❌ MANY people cheat by pushing off with their foot on the supporting side (usually forefoot/toes), and this makes the exercise MUCH less effective! ✅ One trick I find REALLY helps, and something I’ve been using for YEARS, is to pick up the toes of the supporting leg, and to not allow them to touch the floor for the duration of the exercise. ✅ You can see I’m only allowing my heel to lightly touch the floor. ✅ This makes it a LOT tougher to cheat with the supporting leg, and forces the planted/elevated leg to do most of the work.⁣⁣ ⁣⁣Many people ‘ego lift’ when they do step-ups! Less weight can often be more effective!”

She Does Core Workouts

Callaway shared some of her favorite core workouts in this Instagram video. She captioned the post, “If you want an extremely EVIL core challenge to sink your teeth into, give this exercise a try! This is advanced. By anchoring my feet this way AND contracting my hamstrings, I am inhibiting my hip flexors. I got this awesome idea from @lukahocevar . As Luka said, ‘my hamstrings were like WTF,’ so don’t be surprised if your hamstrings cramp 😂. While it’s widely known I’m a BIG advocate of hip flexor strengthening, when many people are trying to train their anterior and lateral core muscles their hip flexors often compensate. This amazing ‘hack makes the exercise SO much tougher because the hip flexors can no longer kick in.”

She Does Planks

Callaway is seen doing plank exercises in this Instagram video. Planks have a lot of benefits. Allina Health states, “If you want an exercise that engages most of your muscles in one easy step, then you should plank. The plank is a simple, effective bodyweight exercise that strengthens your core, as well as muscles in your upper and lower body. Core muscles, which include your back and abdomen, help you maintain posture and balance as you stand, sit and move throughout the day.”

She Does Squats

Callaway shared some of her favorite lower body exercises in these Instagram videos. In them, she is seen doing two different kinds of squats: split squats and negative Spanish squats. Callaway captioned the post, “Front heel elevated split squats + back foot elevated (with emphasis on forward knee tracking). Use a range that feels comfortable. 👉 2-3 sets of 8-12 reps per side. Negative Spanish squats. With Spanish Squats you will keep your shins in a vertical position for 100% of the movement, and there will be minimal ankle dorsiflexion. This can be a very knee friendly option.⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ This is also an AMAZING leg finisher. 👉 2-3 sets of 6-12 reps.”

She Does Pull-Ups

Callaway likes to do pull-ups to stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing them. Callaway talked about her journey with the exercise in the caption. “Day 16 since I resumed pull-ups after a 7 month injury (radial nerve) layoff. 8 sets of 6. Final set (so I was a bit fatigued/form wasn’t as good). Then I did several sets of 2 reps of unassisted false grip pull-ups, and some banded sets of 5 reps. Usually I’d do these first but wasn’t planning on doing them so soon. The false grip felt surprisingly comfy. I basically did NO upper body training for 7 months. The injury would’ve resolved a LOT faster if I’d seen the good physio much sooner, but I had a lot of other stuff going on in my life and put my own recovery on the back burner. And I did several other treatments that normally would’ve been helpful, but ended up just REALLY provoking the nerve and setting me back. I’m filming pull-ups top off so I can make sure my pull is nice and even. When coming back from an injury it’s easy to guard and compensate, even when there are no symptoms. My form isn’t perfect yet, but will be. And I’ve regained a lot of my muscle as I lost a decent amount over my 7 month upper body layoff!”

Amanda Bisk is offering a new fitness challenge – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the influencer flaunts her incredibly fit figure in a two-piece exercise set while demonstrating some moves. “15min workouts, Pilates & yoga everyday,” she wrote in the caption of the Instagram video. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Stretching

Amanda understands the importance of stretching. “I usually start my day with a stretch or yoga and a few bodyweight exercise's (situps, squats etc), usually between 15-30min depending on how much time I have,” says Amanda. “Flexibility is all about consistency. I stretch everyday. I stretch in the morning for 15-30min (sometimes also in the evening) and before and after I exercise. If you are looking to improve your flexibility, the more you stretch the quicker you will see improvements,” she continues. “I use a combination of stretches I have learnt from gymnastics and athletics and combine this with yoga. In the morning I do a few sun salutations (a sequence in yoga) to warm up my body, then I stretch my legs and hips and do splits, then finish off with shoulders and backbends.” Why should you consider stretching? “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints,” says Harvard Health. “Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”

Running

Amanda is also a runner. “I do an intense workout like a strength session or sprints 3-4 times a week,” she reveals on the blog. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

Balanced Diet

As for diet, she focuses on keeping it balanced. “I have experimented with a few different ways of eating but what works best for me is a varied and balanced approach to food,” Amanda says about her approach to diet. “This includes LOTS of fruit and vegetables, fish, eggs, grains (including breads and pasta), legumes, nuts, dairy and meat. I also believe it is totally ok to enjoy those 'not so healthy' foods (my vice is icecream!). Those hearty meals or cheeky treats are good for the soul! But remember it is about moderation,” she says. “My meals usually consist of majority vegetables (full of vitamins and minerals), a portion of carbs (to fuel my muscles and brain) and protein (to build a strong body and keep me full). I choose mostly vegetarian options (a big influence from my mum, who is fully vegetarian) but I do eat meat when I feel like it.”

Tennis, Biking, basketball, Etc

Amanda maintains an active lifestyle. If she isn’t at the gym she will be doing “something different like tennis, bike riding, basketball, walking with a friend or going to a local pilates or air yoga class,” she writes on the blog.

Daily Exercise

Amanda works out daily. “I am a big fan of mixing up the type of exercise and fitness I do, so from week to week my exercise routine changes alot,” she revealed on her blog. “All up, I aim to move my body for an hour each day.” She takes a rest day, “where I might only stretch and do a walk. If I feel run down or overtrained I make sure I take a day off. Its all about listening to your body.” How often should you workout? Physical activity is anything that gets your body moving. According to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity each week.

Steph Claire Smith is a fitness influencer, podcaster, and businesswoman. She is the founder of the Kic app and hosts the KICPOD podcast. Smith is expecting her second child and shared some of her favorite pregnancy exercises on Instagram. She captioned the post, “🤰💪 Pregnancy-friendly & beginner gym workout! Looking for a safe, effective, and beginner-friendly workout to keep you moving during pregnancy or if you’re just starting out? We’ve got you covered! 🌟”

Strength Trains

In her Instagram video, Smith is seen strength training. The Mayo Clinic states that strength training has a lot of benefits. “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's Confident In Herself

Smith is all about being confident in herself. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “I can be a mum, a business woman, and a swimwear / lingerie model simultaneously. Here is a throwback for you of just a few examples of what I used to post in my feed. So why don’t I do it now? Please don’t for a second think it’s because I don’t think that I should or that I don’t feel sexy anymore.”

She Ignores The Haters

Smith doesn’t let judgemental comments bring her down. She talked about this in the caption of the previous Instagram post. “I will admit, external judgment made me sway away from posting this kind of content in the past when it came to being taken seriously in the business world (even though I never really agreed with it)… and sure, there have been phases throughout motherhood where I haven’t felt super sexy or I’ve questioned what’s ’appropriate’. But where I’ve got to is realizing that what one person is comfortable with, can be completely different to someone else, and that I am very, very comfortable with tapping into I suppose ‘the old Steph’ … as really she’s just Steph. I’m still that person. And the only reason you don’t see this content as much on my page anymore is because I’m not doing anywhere near the amount of modeling I used to and when I am it’s not always this vibe anymore. But if I could I would! And the judgment I’ve copped from strangers, mainly women, over the last few weeks as I’ve shared my body online, has really disappointed me. HOWEVER, for the hundreds of you who have flooded in, particularly today after the hilarious ‘ass DM I got, saying they Iove seeing me so comfortable in my skin and that especially as mums it’s motivating you to do the same… you’re who I’ll keep doing it for. Do not let anyone dictate what you post on your own feed - if it feels true to you, you do you.”

She Sets Goals

Smith makes sure to push herself when she works out. One way she does this is by setting goals. Smith talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “There were many points throughout my workout today where I questioned if I should just stop right there and then and walk out. And if this was because of energy levels, I would have! I think it’s important to tune into our bodies like that… But I knew I had the energy, and I’ve committed to doing three sessions a week for this challenge. I just had to get out of my own head, and stop worrying about having to regress or rest, I took the pressure off of the workout needing to look a certain way and just kept at it. I’m so glad I got it done, and I’m proud of myself for sticking to my goal!”

She Does Pull-Ups

In the previous Instagram post, Smith is seen doing pull-ups. According to NASM, these have a lot of health benefits. “Pull ups and chin ups are a multi-joint movement, meaning that they engage multiple muscle groups (lats, biceps, shoulders, and upper back). They promote overall upper body muscle development and can lead to some serious strength gains.”

Sharvari isn’t just making waves in the film industry—she’s dominating the fitness game too. Known for her roles in Munjya, Maharaj, and Vedaa, the rising star proves that strength and discipline extend far beyond the big screen.

Adding a playful pun to her caption, she wrote, “Never tyre’d of a good beach workout.”
So, how does she stay in such incredible shape? From strength training to boxing, here’s a look at her go-to fitness moves.

She Strength Trains

In her Instagram post, Sharvari is seen doing a strength training exercise. The Mayo Clinic says that strength training has a lot of benefits. “Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories. 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 Does Yoga

Sharvari shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. One thing she likes to do is yoga. Sharvari posted this video of herself doing poses on her page. John Hopkins Medicine states that yoga is very beneficial. “Regular yoga practice may reduce levels of stress and body-wide inflammation, contributing to healthier hearts. Several of the factors contributing to heart disease, including high blood pressure and excess weight, can also be addressed through yoga.”

She Plays Padel

Sharvari likes to play padel to keep herself in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself on the court. Playing padel has a lot of health benefits. Everybody Health & Leisure says, “It improves cardiovascular fitness, helps to build strength and endurance, enhances coordination and promotes overall physical and mental well-being. Not to mention, it’s a fantastic way to burn calories.”

She Boxes

Another thing that Sharvari does to keep herself in shape is box. She first picked this up when training for the film, Vedaa. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself punching a bag. Sharvari captioned the post, “BEAST MODE on for Vedaa! ⚠️☠️🥊 Took up boxing to become Vedaa... Now I am ready to pack a punch or be strong enough to take a brutal beating 💪#Vedaa coming to a theatre near you on August 15th.”

She Runs

Sharvari likes to run to keep herself in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself running on the beach. She captioned the post, “Decided to seas the day!” Better Health says that running is very beneficial. “Regular running or jogging offers many health benefits. Running can: help to build strong bones, as it is a weight bearing exercise, strengthen muscles, improve cardiovascular fitness, burn plenty of kilojoules, help maintain a healthy weight.”

Natasa Stankovic isn’t just a content creator—she’s a fitness inspiration. Known for sharing intense workout sessions on Instagram, she keeps her followers motivated with creative exercise challenges and dynamic routines.

In her latest post, Stankovic teamed up with Aleksandar Illic for a lower body blast, pushing through variations of squats and lunges. Dressed in a sleek two-piece workout set, she captioned the session, “Wednesday challenge,” proving that fitness is all about consistency and fun.

So, how does she maintain her lean, strong physique? From strength training to Pilates, here’s a look at Stankovic’s go-to workout moves.

She Does Squats

Stankovic does squats to keep herself in shape, as you can see in her Instagram video. Piedmont says that this exercise has a lot of health benefits. “Whether you’re hoping to tone your muscles, strengthen your core or just improve overall health, squats are one of the best exercises you can do. Although the movements appear relatively simple, squats can take time to master. Joel Hardwick, ACSM EP-C, EIM2, an exercise physiologist at Piedmont Atlanta Fitness Center, says practice will pay off…Hardwick explains that 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.”

She Does Lunges

Stankovic is also seen doing lunges in her Instagram video. The Mayo Clinic reports that lunges are very beneficial to do. “The lunge is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles. Specifically, the lunge targets the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles in the thigh, the gluteal muscles in the buttock, and to a lesser extent, the lower leg muscles. The lunge is a great conditioning exercise for many sports, especially those that involve lunging movements, such as tennis, basketball or soccer.”

She Does Cardio

Stankovic likes to do cardio workouts to keep herself in shape. She shared this video of herself doing fast box jumps in different directions on Instagram. Stankovic captioned it, “Morning cardio challenge.” Cardio exercises have a lot of benefits. The Cleveland Clinic says, “When you work your heart and other muscles of your body during cardio exercise, this increases oxygen supply to your whole body, allowing all muscles to work harder and more efficiently. Over time, regular cardio exercise allows your muscles to adapt to an increased workload, making regular activities seem easier.”

She Does Pilates

Stankovic shares a lot of her favorite workouts in an Instagram story highlight. In some of the stories, she is seen doing Pilates exercises on a reformer. Pilates is very beneficial. The Cleveland Clinic says, “One of the reasons Pilates is such a good workout is that it specifically focuses on building core strength.”

She Strength Trains

Stankovic likes to strength train to keep herself in shape. She shared this Instagram story of herself using dumbbells. ACE Fitness says that strength training and using weights has a lot of health 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.”

So what’s in her routine? From deadlifts to hip thrusts, here’s how French sculpts her powerhouse physique.

She Does Deadlifts

French is seen doing deadlifts in her Instagram post. This exercise has a lot of benefits. NASM says, “A Romanian deadlift is a hip-hinge pattern that works the hamstrings and glutes. It is a form of deadlift with noticeably less bend in the knee, leading to greater hamstring engagement than traditional deadlifts. The move was introduced to the masses in the 90s by Romanian weightlifter Nicu Vlad (an Olympic and World Weightlifting champion) and his coach Dragomir Cioroslan. The two invented the move to help Nicu strengthen his back for the clean and jerk. Today, RDLs are commonly used to strengthen the posterior chain, using the core muscles to stabilize and the hamstrings and glutes to drive the movement.”

She Does Lunges

Another exercise that French is seen doing in her Instagram post is lunges. NASM says that they are very beneficial. “The lunge is a versatile, simple and effective movement for lower body training. Various positions, planes of motion and speeds can all yield different training adaptations for the exerciser. Lunges are the gift that keeps on giving!”

She Does Squats

French is seen doing squats in her Instagram video. According to The Cleveland Clinic, squats are very beneficial. “Here’s a quick look at the many benefits of squats, also known as bodyweight squats or air squats: Works major muscle groups. Burns calories. Strengthens your core. Improves lower body strength. Enhances stability and balance. Betters your posture.”

She Does Hamstring Curls

French is seen doing hamstring curls in her Instagram post. According to The Mayo Clinic, hamstring curls are very beneficial. “The seated hamstring curl is an exercise you can do with a weight machine to work the muscles in the back of the thigh. As the name implies, the seated hamstring curl targets the hamstring muscles here in the back of the thigh. Strong hamstring muscles help to protect your ligaments in the knee.”

She Does Hip Thrusts

French shared this video on Instagram of herself doing hip thrusts. She captioned it, “Hip Thrusts are no doubt one of the best exercises for building your Glutes but of course with any exercise, the form has to be correct for you to see the maximum benefits…✖️ Feet too far forwards will engage your hamstrings more ✖️ Feet too close to you will engage your quads more ✔️ Feet placed so your calves are vertical will engage your glutes more.”
