Fitness Star Massy Arias in Two-Piece Workout Gear Does "hyrox EMOM wod"

Massy Arias is sharing a new workout with her followers. In a new social media post the fitness trainer and influencer flaunts her amazingly fit figure in a two-piece exercise set during a grueling sweat session at the gym. “Nothing ever grows in a comfort zone. If there is one thing I dislike most, are these kind of workouts. But how can I motivate you to be your best self, if I don’t keep growing myself? This weekend I joined the queen @bethanycf to do a little hyrox EMOM wod,” she captioned the post. What is the workout and what other ways does she approach health and fitness? Keep reading for details and all of her diet, fitness, and self-care habits.

1. Stretching

Massy makes sure to stretch. “I’ve been sitting a lot lately so after my workout I decided to mobilize my spine before I sit again. This one stretch I find to be one of the best selections lately to really get some decompression after my workouts,” she wrote in a caption. Why should you consider stretching? It helps keep 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.”

2. Prioritize Mental Health

Massy is open about her mental health struggles. While she tried therapy and herbal remedies, she maintains that exercise was the game changer. “Fitness saved my life,” she told Muscle & Fitness. She started with the elliptical machine and then bodybuilding. “That first pushup felt great!” she revealed.

3. Strength Training, Yoga, and HIIT

Massy has a unique training style that incorporates resistance training, calisthenics, yoga, and HIIT. 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

4. Nutritious Smoothies

Arias drinks smoothies to satisfy her sweet tooth while treating her body to a healthy dose of nutrition. “Instead of falling for the sugary drinks with no nutritional value, let me show you how to make smoothies that cut your cravings, help build 💪🏽, and are actually good for your overall health,” she writes in the caption of the Instagram video . Her smoothie is “loaded with fiber, healthy fats, and protein,” and “It tastes incredible and you can treat them as a meal, a snack, or your post workout fuel,” she maintains. She adds that it helps keep you “focused with sustained energy throughout the day” and will help you “feel satiated, but not bloated.”

Recovery or Rest

Alethea Boon is sharing a new workout – in her exercise gear. In a new social media post the CrossFit athlete shows off her strong body and strength in a two-piece workout set. “BAR MUSCLE UP,” she writes in the Instagram video caption. “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.” How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. How She Found CrossFit

“I got into CrossFit in 2013 after searching on Google a different way to get fit. I had been doing a little bit of running by myself but needed some variety and wanted to work out with people. So, after googling CrossFit I went to my first class and fell in love with the methodology of CrossFit,” Alethea told True Protein on how she discovered the workout. “I had no intention of competing and looking back that worked in my favor. I honed in on technique with little to no weight for months before incrementally putting weights on the resistance exercises and barbells. Movement efficiency overload meant I was able to work good technique and keep pretty healthy as we built up slowly. I also attribute the patient build up in barbell work to the success and reason I was able to make a 3rd Commonwealth Games for NZ on the Weightlifting Team in 2018.:

2. 4 Days of Intense Training

Alethea trains hard. “A typical week consists of 4 days of planned training sessions approximately 2 hours, usually starting at 6pm where I follow a structured program typically consisting of Strength, Gymnastics or Bodybuilding and Conditioning piece or 2. (yes have to move fast to get it all done withing 2-2.5 hours),” she told True Protein.

3. 1 Day of Flexible Training and 1 Rest Day

“I also do one additional day where I like to keep flexible with what I do. It’ll be something I really enjoy, like jump in a class, calisthenics, swim, go for a run or bike or even try something new to keep the mind fresh and excited about moving in different ways. Then there’s always a solid rest day to allow the body to recover,” she told True Protein.

4. Structured Sessions

What does a typical workout look like for Alethea? “I structure my sessions according to what needs the most work. But most structured sessions usually follow this outline. Prehab and Strength is where I spend majority of my time over other biases because let’s be honest, I’m 40, I need the prehab and strength is my weakness, so we make it a priority. Then a short 10minute-15min gymnastics or body building piece for maintenance followed by conditioning piece or 2. I like to do one that stings, short and fast 3-6mins, followed by one slightly longer piece that has me breathing and sweating for 15-20mins. I would absolutely love to be able to do more but we make do with the time that we have and really maximize every minute to focus in on what will get me the most return in a competition setting,” she says.

5. Fueling Up with Food

Alethea makes sure to get enough food in her body for her workouts. “Food is fuel! Adequately getting enough, and enough of the right stuff is key to being able to perform both in and out of the gym. I admit as a busy mum I often tend to forget to eat at times because I am always on the go and on those days and the day after I really feel the lack of energy so being sure to prepack and plan meals and supplements around training to support my lifestyle is crucial to ensure that performance in training is fully optimized,” she explains.

Francielle Mattos, a successful bodybuilder, frequently shares her favorite workout routines on Instagram, inspiring her followers with her dedication and hard work. In a recent set of gym photos and videos, Mattos is seen posing in workout gear, performing sit-ups, hip thrusts, and using the leg extension machine. Her caption, "This is wellness," reflects her commitment to maintaining a balanced and strong body. Here’s a deeper look into how Mattos stays in peak shape.

1. She Works With A Trainer

Mattos works with a trainer to help herself stay fit. She talked about her trainer in the caption of this Instagram post. “Closing the week with training 🔥 ♥️ 💪🏼This week has yielded … At the commands of my trainer @carlosaugustogaron that today I possessed 😂😂😂Must be @growthsupplements HAZE's pre workout, I'm sure he's taking it…”

2. She Does Leg Extensions

Mattos is seen doing hamstring curls in her recent post, and the previous blurb’s post. Asphalt Green states that this exercise has a lot of benefits. “These machines provide isolation exercises for your legs. This type of exercise works only one muscle or group of muscles, which means you can build up that part of your body quickly. If you want your thigh muscles to really stand out in those shorts you just bought, the leg extension machine is for you! Leg extensions using this exercise machine work your thighs. In fact, that’s basically the only thing that they work. That’s great if you want to build strength and mass quickly.”

3. She Strength Trains

Being a bodybuilder, Mattos has to do a lot of strength training. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself using weights, including the two previous posts. The Mayo Clinic reports that strength training is extremely beneficial. “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.”

4. She Works Hard

Mattos makes sure to work hard when she hits the gym. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “There is only one person who can limit his own growth. By yourself. You are the only person who can revolutionize your own life. You're the only person who can hurt yourself. It is within your heart that you will find the energy required to transform your life. Atleta @growthsupplements. What was that training 😅 😂 @carlosaugustogaron I had a bad time from start to finish, thanks friend 🤜🏻🤛🏻 Garon will leave the full workout in the comments ☝🏻”

5. She Does Hip Thrusts

Mattos is seen doing hip thrusts in her recent Instagram post, and the previous blurb’s Instagram video. Gymless states that the exercise is very beneficial. “Hip thrusts are plastered on nearly every fitness influencer’s page nowadays. Fortunately, they are a dynamic and effective exercise that has soared in popularity among fitness enthusiasts and athletes…It’s a great compound movement that targets the gluteal muscles (‘glutes’), and it’s crucial for improving lower body strength, power, and juicy lower-body aesthetics.”

Fitness influencer Massy Arias has encouraging words for anyone feeling stuck in a rut with their fitness and exercise routine. Arias, 34, shared a video of herself warming up in the gym wearing a white tank top and lilac leggings. “Well, time to bring that fire back and get you guys moving in different ways. Here are some of the warm up moves I did coming back to Muay Thai. Change is coming tribe and as we embark on this change, so will the workouts and the movement that has empowered you for many years through my movement,” she captioned the inspiring post. Here’s what Arias’ diet, training, and fitness advice looks like.

1. No Long Cardio Sessions

Arias tries not to spend hours on straight cardio during her training sessions. “My exercise routine changes from time to time,” she told Women Fitness. “I am always looking for ways to challenge my body, so it is constantly improving. As of today, I weight train my lower and upper body twice a week and perform yoga three times a week to increase my flexibility and overall core strength. I am not a huge fan of long steady cardio sessions, so I love combining my weight training days with cardio at the same time. This is how I developed my #Ma30day program and how I stay in great shape all year around. I’ve had to learn how to cut down time in the gym and get the most out of my workouts.”

2. Pescatarian Diet

Arias enjoys a protein-packed, pescatarian diet. “My diet is very diverse,” she told Women’s Fitness. “I try to incorporate all food groups to never feel deprived and stay focused all year around. Balance is key for me. I always treat myself to things I passionately love (cookies, cupcakes), but I do follow a ‘fixed’ regulated diet 90% of the time. Right now I’ve transitioned to a more plant based/pescaterian lifestyle and I can honestly say I feel like a brand new person. Upon waking: because I don’t have a long time to digest breakfast before training I make myself a ‘protein latte’. One should never workout on an empty stomach and leg day requires energy.”

3. Endorphin Rush

For Arias, regular exercise is about mental as well as physical wellbeing. “Since exercise releases endorphins in your body that make you feel good, it is the tool I use to keep myself grounded, focused, and live an exciting life,” she told ClicheMag. “I am always finding new ways of staying active and that means meeting new people, visiting new places I never thought I’d go to, and keeping my mind occupied while doing something positive. I usually end up doing things I’ve never done before and getting a kick out of them. There is never a day where I don’t meet someone I find really cool and have a great time. My day is full of positive energy and that’s why fitness is my escape to a happy place.”

4. Progress, Not Perfection

Arias has sensible advice for anyone trying to lose weight and improve their fitness. “If you are really out of shape, you can start walking because walking will soon turn into jogging, then running, and finally you will be sprinting,” she told ClicheMag. “Your body is a machine that adapts to the stress you put it through. Don’t get discouraged because you are not at the level you want to be yet. If you strive for progress, you will always stay positive because every day you are trying to become a better version than you were yesterday. Don’t quit because you’re not getting there as fast as you thought.”

5. Self-Made Woman

Arias taught herself how to work out after suffering from depression as a teenager. “My journey hasn’t been easy but I can say it has been truly rewarding,” she told Women Fitness. “I started exercising as a way of beating depression and became so in love with the lifestyle that it became my passion. Having no background in training or sports, meant I had to teach myself about everything I didn’t know. Exercise gave me such a positive ‘rush’, all I wanted to do was learn more and do more with my body. I continued progressing physically while sharing my journey with others, until I became certified and had the guts to do my first bootcamp class. I became even more passionate about fitness once I realized the positive impact I was able to spark in people’s lives.”
