Fitness Model Lyzabeth Lopez in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shows Off "Results That Last"

She Lifts Weights

In her Instagram video, Henry is seen using heavy weights to workout. This has a lot of benefits. ACE Fitness states, “Using heavy weights increases intramuscular coordination, the number of type II motor units and the amount of muscle fibers engaged within a specific muscle. Have you ever felt your muscles shaking while lifting heavy weights? This is because you are recruiting and activating the larger type II muscle fibers, which are only stimulated to work when a muscle is challenged with heavy resistance or working to fatigue.”

She Does Deadlifts

Henry is seen doing deadlifts in her Instagram video. The exercise has a lot of benefits. According to ACE Fitness, “When done correctly, the RDL is an effective exercise that helps strengthen both the core and the lower body with one move. Unlike the traditional barbell deadlift and other quad-dominant exercises such as leg presses, which place significant loads on the anterior portion of the knees, the RDL focuses most of the physical work on the muscles responsible for extending the hip and the knee from the posterior.”

She Does Lunges

Henry is also seen doing lunges in her Instagram video. The lunge has a lot of health benefits. The Mayo Clinic reports, “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 Squats

Henry is seen doing squats with a barbell in this Instagram video. According to Allina Health, squats are very beneficial. “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.”

She Swims

Henry spends a lot of time at the beach. She shares a lot of posts of herself there on Instagram. Naturally, Henry likes to swim to keep herself in shape. She included some photos of herself in the water in this carousel post. Better Health states that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Swimming is a great workout because you need to move your whole body against the resistance of the water. Swimming is a good all-round activity because it: keeps your heart rate up but takes some of the impact stress off your body, builds endurance, muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness.”

She Strength Trains

In her Instagram video, Löwes is seen working out with weights. She is also seen doing this in this video. In the latter post’s caption, Löwes talked about her journey with strength training. “I used to train more like this in the beginning of my fitness journey then I transferred into more sets and fewer exercises. Now I’m back to enjoying both! Lots of exercises with light/medium weights, slow motions, lots of mindful muscle connection leaves your muscles exhausted. It’s so nice to work out a sweat using weights from time to time! I never get sweaty moving heavy weights.. The workout 💪🏼1. Side To Side Lunge 3x10/side 2. SM Reverse Hypers 4x15 3. SM Deep Pause Squat 3x12 4.Standing DB Abductions 3x15/side 5. Cross Over Kickbacks 2x15/Side 6. Cable Kickbacks 2x15/Side 7. SM Front Squats 3x10 8. Cable Lunges 2x15/side.”

She Does Bodyweight Exercises

Löwes likes to do bodyweight exercises to keep herself in shape. She shared one of her favorite circuits in this Instagram video. Löwes captioned it, “Let’s go! 🫵🏼🌤️Always loved these bodyweight circuits, especially in the sunset light! 😉🧘♀️ Moving your body is a luxury! You don’t need all that fancy gym gear to get a sweat sess in which is enough to release endorphins and turn up the mood 🧠Try 30 sec of each move x 5 1️⃣ Reverse Lunge Crunches 2️⃣ In & Out Jumps 3️⃣ Mountain Climber Runs 4️⃣ Upside Down Plank Walks 5️⃣ Jumping Lunges.”

She Does Lunges

Löwes likes to do lunges to keep herself in shape. She is seen doing them in the previous two Instagram links. Lunges have a lot of health benefits. The Columbia Association states, “Lunges may look simple, but there’s a lot going on at the same time, which works wonders for your balance and mobility. Since you work one leg at a time, you’re also activating your stabilizer muscles for better stability.”

She Does RDLs

Löwes likes to do RDLs to keep herself in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself demonstrating the proper technique for them. Löwes captioned it, “🔺Common mistakes:

- Not bending your knees enough
- Letting your back/upper body fall forward rather than your hips pushed back
- Taking a very narrow stance with toes facing straight forward instead of a hip with stance with toes pointing slightly outwards
- Allowing the weight to go all the way down to the floor rather than stopping at knee hight.
Hope this helps! 💪🏼🩷”

She Does Core Workouts

Löwes shared some of her favorite core workouts in this Instagram video. She captioned the post, “4 Standing Exercises For Abs/Core that I personally like 🔥1️⃣ Cable Crunches - always in my core routine! (Abs) 2️⃣ Kettlebell Circles - tougher than they look! (Core) 3️⃣ Kettlebell March - (Core) 4️⃣ Oblique Cable Crunches - (Obliques).”

She Runs

Williams shares a lot of her favorite workouts on her Instagram. One thing she likes to do is run. Williams even ran the New York City Marathon. She shared this post on Instagram of her experience, captioning it, “NYC MARATHON!! Wow what an unforgettable day. 8 weeks ago when I got this opportunity, I had only ever really ran 5Ks. These last few weeks have been filled with pushing myself both mentally and physically, I really didn’t know if I could do it. But I have learnt every time I take on a new challenge I get far more back in return. I pretty much smiled my way around the 26.2 miles yesterday. NYC crowds are just sooooo incredible. I wanna say a huge thankyou to the number of strangers who cheered me on as well as my incredible friends who gave me so much energy! Feeling very proud and very grateful to @newbalance x @bambambaklava and especially @austinbensmith who assured me I could do it when I almost pulled out. 🩵”

She Swims

Williams likes to swim to keep herself in shape. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself enjoying time by the water. Williams shared this post highlighting a trip she took to Europe. In it, she is seen going for a dip in the sea. Williams captioned the post, “European summer 🩵 the oh so blue Mediterranean.”

She Pushes Herself

Williams is always striving to push herself to try new things. One thing she tried was going scuba diving. Williams shared this photo on Instagram of her experience. She captioned the post, “It’s A-OK 👌 I’ve realized I feel my best when I try new things and push myself out of my comfort zone. Things that scared me before. Sometimes it’s good to remember being scared should not get in your way of trying something new 🤍💙”

She Plays Tennis

Another thing that Williams likes to do to keep herself in shape is playing tennis. She shared this set of photos of herself on the court on Instagram. The Columbia Association states that tennis has a lot of benefits. “Tennis is an excellent full-body workout that releases feel-good endorphins to help you relax and relieve tension. Its low-impact nature also means your joints and bones will thank you.”

She Hikes

Williams likes to go hiking to keep herself in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself and her friends hiking in the Grand Canyon. “Hello!! Channeling my inner Lara Croft.. Just spent the last two weeks off the grid exploring the Grand Canyon - traveling down the Colorado river, white water rafting and camping with a group of 15 of us. It was already a scary trip for me as I have never done anything like this but an extra challenge from having fractured my wrist 3 weeks before! But the challenges made it 100 x more rewarding! Will share some pictures to try and show you just how incredible the Grand Canyon is 🙌🏽 Very proud of myself for doing it and grateful to be one of the few people who get to see this part of the world in this way!”

Walking

Michelle makes sure to get her steps in. You can usually find her walking around Miami. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Motivation in the Mirror

What motivates Michelle? “I would say the mirror. There’s nothing more motivating than when you find a new vein! Am I crazy? Probably, but it’s true! Progress is what motivates me to keep pushing harder and not give up. Also it’s extremely motivating to have so many female fans,” she told Simply Shredded.

Here Is What She Eats in a Day

Michelle shared a sample menu of what she eats in a day with Muscle & Fitness.

Breakfast: Protein pancake or chocolate peanut butter overnight oats

Snack 1: Stuffed avocado tacos or tuna tartar

Lunch: Cashew chicken lettuce wraps or noodles with creamy avocado pesto

Snack 2: Peruvian ceviche or yogurt protein cups

Dinner: Teriyaki ginger tilapia or coconut chicken curry

Cardio for Weight Loss

To “cut down” or lose weight, do lots of cardio, advises Michelle. “I just love to sweat like a maniac. So what ever I feel like: Stair Master, Rollerblading around South Beach Miami or Spinning classes. I keep the intensity high and make sure that I am always pushing my hardest,” she said.

Coffee

According to a video about her morning routine, Taylor starts the day with coffee. 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.

Hydration

Hydration is also a key part of her routine. Taylor makes sure her “water bottles filled for workout” prior to her sweat session. 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.

Trampoline

Taylor enjoys jumping on a mini trampoline as part of her workout. Adding a spring to your step can help you get into shape faster. A NASA study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology claims that rebounding exercise is 68 percent more efficient than jogging. As far as calories burned, a study by the American Council on Exercise found that mini trampoline workouts effectively burn an average of 12.4 calories per minute for men and 9.4 calories per minute for women. According to a 2016 in the Journal of Sport and Health Science trampoline jumping also helps with bone density and strength.

Meal Prepping

Taylor is a fan of meal prepping. “One thing I have found super helpful to keep me consistent is meal prepping a protein, veggie and carb and the start of each week. This way when life gets crazy I can quickly reheat that, add a little bit of sauce and a quick carb and I am good to go! So if you are struggling to find the time to make yourself a meal, I would definitely recommend meal prepping to help you stay on track!” she wrote in a post.

Strength Training

She then moves onto a “quick 30 minute EMOM workout” which means “every minute on the minute” she does a different strength training exercise. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

• Develop strong bones
• Manage your weight
• Enhance your quality of life
• Manage chronic conditions
• Sharpen your thinking skills
