4. She does mobility work

On a video of her working out, she said “dynamic warm ups and mobility work have been essential to my routine. they help prep my body to feel good and be ready to go in the gym.” According to ACE Fitness, “mobility, along with the skills of dynamic balance and coordination, is derived from the coordination of different physiological systems, primarily the central nervous system (CNS) and myofascial systems. Consistent mobility training can improve the communication between the CNS and muscles to enhance an individual’s ability to move with precision, style and grace, while simultaneously improving extensibility and joint ROM.”

5. She looks at her progress

She focuses on her progress. On Instagram, she said “@healingmotionpt helping me to progress my power, speed, strength, and endurance while optimizing my recovery 💪,” on a video of her doing box jumps, lifting weights, and doing pull ups, among other floor exercises.

Jade Cargill is looking like “a superhero” in one of her costumes. In a new social media post the AEW wrestler shows off her insanely fit figure in her new “gear,” throwing her followers into a frenzy. “Body so sick AI can’t even recreate it,” commented one of her followers. “You really look like a superhero,” added another. “So perfect from head to toe!” a third chimed in. How does the athlete approach diet and fitness? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Strength Training

Jade focuses on building muscle via strength training. “I’ve been in sports all my life, so I’ve been attracted to bodybuilding forever,” Jade told Muscle and Fitness. “I watched [WWE female legend] Chyna when I was growing up, and I was muscular growing up. I would get picked on because of how built I was and seeing her embody her presence, it made me love myself and say: ‘You know what? I love my body and I want to get stronger.’”

2. Mindset

Jade sticks to workouts she loves. “I had a crazy conditioning coach named Todd Moyer, I mean he was ridiculous,” laughs Cargill. “And what do you do when you get in trouble, and you play basketball? You run! So, I just switched my mindset to love running, getting in there and working out,” she told Muscle and Fitness.

"I love that people just assume the worst. Bryan Danielson and I were in training. He talked about '90s babies not being able to live without social media. This was to Daniel Garcia, myself, and a couple of other people. I was born in 1992. I was around when the beeper was around, and landlines. I can live without social media. He went on my phone to see how many hours I'm on my phone a day,” Jade told 411mania.com. “It was something ridiculous. He said he only spent an hour a day on his phone. I felt kind of embarrassed. He said, 'Why don't you get rid of one of your social media [feeds] for a little bit? Let's see where your numbers go from there,'” she said. “He said to pick the most toxic app. I thought Twitter. I deleted it."

4. Two-a-Days

Sometimes Jade does two workouts a day. "You have to put in the work," she says. "I do two-a-days, four days a week. I don't just put the work in at the gym, but in the ring as well. I'm new, and he knew that and knows that. I've probably had four matches in the last five or six months. That is not a lot at all, but I'm in the gym when waiting to be called to have a match. I'm growing," she told 411mania.com.

5. Take Time for Self-Care

Jade makes sure to indulge in self-care. Here she is enjoying nature in her bathing suit. “There is beauty in simplicity,” she captioned the post.

Becky Downie is a world-class gymnast with an incredible career spanning three Olympic Games (2008, 2016, and 2024). Known for her talent on the uneven bars, she earned a silver medal at the 2019 World Championships. Recently, Downie shared a series of photos on Instagram, posing confidently in black workout gear and white sneakers, with the playful caption, “It’s giving …. Brand with the 3 stripes 🖤.”

A seasoned athlete, Downie balances intense training, a disciplined diet, and self-care to stay at the top of her game. She’s also an advocate for positive change in gymnastics, speaking out on issues in the sport. Whether she’s in the gym or on the world stage, Downie’s resilience and dedication inspire fans and fellow athletes alike.

1. She Prepares Herself

Downie talked about her wellness secrets in an interview with Women Fitness. She says that she makes sure to prepare herself for competitions. “Having the experience of being an Olympian definitely helps me prepare mentally, and also, I know physically what I need to be ready for in terms of the competition preparation. It’s an incredible experience, but it can become overwhelming, so being able to understand when I need to take a step back is good.”

2. She Does Two Workouts A Day

Downie broke down her fitness routine in her Women Fitness interview. “My home training routine consists of two workouts a day,” she says. “My morning session included 30-40 minutes of cardio followed by 1-1.30hrs of body conditioning and rehabilitation. I then do another session later in the afternoon which includes more body conditioning, followed by more gymnastic skill specific drills.”

3. She Eats Healthy

Downie makes sure to eat a healthy diet. She shared her favorite foods in her Women Fitness interview. “Breakfast can range from eggs / vanilla & banana porridge / chicken sausages. Lunch is always a low sugar protein bar and fruit. I like to keep things light before flipping around in the gym. After training I always have a protein shake with skimmed milk and then once I’m home I have dinner which is usually some meat / fish, vegetables or salad and some rice or lentils. My top 5 foods I love and would always be in my diet….. grilled chicken, sushi, blue berries, avocado and bananas.”

4. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Downie broke down her skincare routine to Women Fitness. “My two favourite brands are Carbon Theory and Glamglow. I use Carbon theory soap everyday morning and night and then use their cleanser or a glamglow moisturiser. I also love to use baby oil or body butter every evening after a hot bath. I avoid using body moisture before training as it makes me extra sweaty and it can make gripping difficult in training. Five skin boosters ….. Use a good facial wash / moisturise your face / wearing reduced makeup when training helps keep my skin fresher / A good body moisturiser to keep skin hydrated and for me to combat the chalky gym / Exfoliating body and facial wash is brilliant to use 2-3 times a week.”

5. She Spoke Out

Downie and her younger sister, Ellie, notably spoke out about certain treatment they received in the gymnastics world. She talked about this in an interview with The Guardian. "I have been told by a person of significant importance - in the national team environment - that a lot of coaches do not agree with what we've done. Maybe I did open my mouth a year too soon, I'm not sure. If this is the sacrifice [an Olympics] then this is the sacrifice, change needs to happen. I’m proud of what I did and I don’t regret it."
