IFBB Champ Getta Beqa in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shows Off Popping Abs

Getta Beqa is a well-known fitness competitor, particularly recognized for her participation in the IFBB. She regularly shares her fitness routines and tips on Instagram, inspiring her followers with workout videos and behind-the-scenes glimpses of her life on stage. In September, Beqa posted a reel that showcased her intense workout session followed by her posing confidently in a bright green swimsuit, highlighting her impressive figure. Her dedication to maintaining peak physical fitness is evident in the variety of exercises she incorporates into her routine, from lunges to squats and strength training. Whether in the gym or out on a bike ride, Beqa consistently pushes herself to stay fit, motivated, and focused on her goals.

1. She Does Lunges

In her Instagram reel, Beqa is seen doing lunges. ACE Fitness states that lunges have a lot of benefits. “If you're doing front and back lunges, you’ll primarily be working the gluteus maximus, adductors, and quadriceps. Side lunges will work the gluteus medius more. And if you’re taking bigger steps forward and back, you’ll use more of the glute muscles, while smaller steps will target the quadriceps more.”

2. She Does Squats

Beqa is also seen doing squats in her Instagram reel. Squats are a great workout to do. Allina Health states, “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. Include squats in your exercise routine two to three days a week to reap the benefits from this dynamite move. Rest at least one day to allow muscle recovery.”

3. She Uses A Resistance Band

Beqa is seen using a resistance band to do arm workouts and strength training workouts in her Instagram reel. Using a resistance band has a lot of benefits. Harvard Health states, “One significant advantage of resistance bands compared with weights is that they provide variable levels of resistance. This is particularly helpful in instances when you're stuck between weights that are either too light or too heavy. You increase resistance in different ways, depending on the type of band you're using.”

4. She Bikes

Beqa doesn’t just workout in the gym. She also likes to go outside. One thing she likes to do is bike ride. Beqa shared these highlights on Instagram of a bike trip she took in Albania. She captioned the post, “Today I was inspired to explore with Tirana team on a wonderful bike trip.” Beqa also posted this video of herself and her friends biking from the trip.

5. She Strength Trains

Beqa does a lot of strength training. She shared this video on Instagram of herself using the cable kickback machine at the gym. Beqa captioned the post, “Don’t stop until you find a way.” 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.”

Maureen Blanquisco is modeling workout clothes. In a new social media post the IFBB contestant shows off her incredible body in a blue exercise set, driving her followers wild. “To all my baddies out there! This color makes your tan complexion POP,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “So gorgeous 🩷🥰” commented one. “OKKKAAAY SLAAY SLAAY,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Swimming

When Maureen was younger she was a swimmer. “I always loved competing and performing. I usually call it “performing” instead of competing. Swimming was an individual sport. If I wanted to win, it all depended on me. I never liked depending on a team. If we lost because of them, I would get very frustrated,” she told Muscular Development.

2. Gymnastics and Cheerleading

She then moved on to gymnastics and cheerleading. “Cheerleading was fine until one time we fell during a stunt, and it wasn’t my fault. I said, I think I work better alone,” this is when she discovered weights. “I started lifting weights at age 18. That’s around the time you want to look and feel good, putting on makeup. I was doing fitness training anyway, so I started to look for something I could do competitively that fit that. I had always wanted to compete in beauty pageants, but at 5 feet tall I was too short. Then I saw the Bikini Olympia on YouTube, and the woman who stuck out to me the most was India Paulino. She was my first idol! I thought it looked so cool. The women looked amazing, and this was the closest thing to a beauty pageant I could do. I thought I could just go compete in the Olympia. I had no idea you have to turn pro first, then qualify, the whole long process. But in my head, I only had one goal, to go to the Olympia.”

3. Here Is How She Preps for Shows

“I started prepping for the Olympia right after the Boston Pro in March, so that was seven months. It was a very chill prep because I was eating clean, but I was eating more than ever in a prep. I was still dieting, but it was more calories, and I did have one cheat meal a week. Now I see this is the best approach for me: a longer prep but with more food,” Maureen said.

4. Her “Breaks” Involve Cardio

When she does go on vacation, she still exercises. “I did go on vacation to Hawaii with my partner the week after the Olympia. That was on my bucket list. I did cardio every day, but I took five days off from weights. I had a couple of treats, but nothing crazy,” she says.

5. She Doesn’t “Gain Too Much” During the Offseason

Marueen avoids overindulging in the off season. “I have a very clear mindset that if I gain too much, it will be a lot harder for me,” she told Muscle & Fitness. “In Bikini, it’s all about condition, and while you could be ‘too’ hard, you certainly can’t be soft, either.”
