Fitness Trainer Megan Roup in Two-Piece Workout Gear Says "Movement Increases Blood Flow"

Megan Roup, a renowned fitness trainer and creator of The Sculpt Society, is known for her work with celebrities like Dakota Johnson and for sharing her favorite workouts and wellness tips on Instagram. In a recent video, she showcased some of her Sculpt Society workouts, emphasizing the mental and physical benefits of exercise. "Fun fact: movement increases blood flow to your brain and decreases stress levels in the body. Working out before an interview or presentation can help make you feel more relaxed and confident! @thesculptsociety quickies are perfect for managing any jitters ✨," she wrote in the caption. Beyond her workouts, Roup also shares her approach to healthy eating and daily routines that keep her energized and fit. Here's a closer look at some of her go-to habits.

Roup makes sure to eat healthy. She shared her recipes for three different healthy breakfasts in this Instagram post. One of Roup's favorites is a smoothie bowl. "Protein Smoothie Bowl: 1/2 cup frozen banana. 1/2 cup frozen blueberries. 1/2 cup frozen strawberries. 1/2 cup Greek yogurt. 1-2 scoops chocolate or vanilla @shakleehq life shake protein powder (Adds 20g of protein and 24 different vitamins and minerals!) Toppings: Fresh blueberries. Granola."

Roup enjoys eggs for breakfast. She likes to put them on toast with cottage cheese and avocado. Roup shared her recipe in her previous Instagram post. "Cottage Cheese Eggs on Toast:  2 eggs. 1/2 cup of cottage cheese. Whisk in a bowl – pour into pan and scramble on low heat (don't rush this). 2 slices of toast. 1 avocado."

The final breakfast recipe Roup shared in her Instagram post is a pudding with chia seeds in it. "Chia Seed + Protein Pudding: 1 cup milk or choice. 1/4 cup chia seeds. 1-2 scoops chocolate @shakleehq life shake protein powder. 1 tsp maple syrup of honey. Dash of sea salt. Instructions: mix all ingredients. Refrigerate overnight Toppings: fruit of choice."

Roup shared her weekly workouts in this Instagram post. She revealed that on Wednesdays and Sundays, she enjoys going for walks as a less intense option. Walking has a lot of health benefits. Harvard Health revealed that walking can help you lose weight. "Harvard researchers looked at 32 obesity-promoting genes in over 12,000 people to determine how much these genes actually contribute to body weight. Among the study participants who walked briskly for about an hour a day, the effects of those genes were cut in half."

In her previous Instagram post, Roup revealed that she does a 12 minute stretch session on Saturdays. Harvard Health reports that stretching is very important. "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."
