IFBB Pro Michelle Lewin in Two-Piece Workout Gear Says "My Abs are Poppin'"

Michelle Lewin is showing off her abs – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the IFBB pro flaunts her fantastic midsection in a two-piece exercise set while visiting the gym in Miami. "In love with this gym," she captioned one of them. "My abs are poppin," she wrote in another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are all her top wellness tips for staying in shape. 

Michelle is motivated by her own body. "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. 

Michelle fuels up with small meals several times a day. 

Meal 1: Oatmeal with Big Blend from Betancourt Nutrition

Meal 2: Ham with Swedish Crackers (Wasa)

Meal 3: Chicken Breast with Brown Rice

Meal 4: Pork Chops with Salad

Meal 5: Beef with Asparagus & Spinach

Meal 6: Salmon with Broccoli

Meal 7: Casein Protein Shake (Before bed)

If you want to 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. 

Michelle, who is currently in Miami, makes sure to get her steps in. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, especially at a brisk speed. 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.
