1. She Doesn’t Love Working Out But Puts the “Hard Work” In

"Gonna be honest... I hate working out. I dread it," she wrote on her Instagram once. "I'm one of those girls that watches the clock and counts down to the last second when I can be done," she shared. "I wish I enjoyed it. I wish I was a big workout junkie but the truth is I just don't!" What she does know: "I do know that in order to achieve The strong body that I want to have and maintain I MUST put the hard work into it."

2. This is Her Breakfast Routine

"When I wake up, I start with some coffee and a little cream and stevia. I drink it all morning long," the cookbook author told Women's Health. "I don't like to eat until I'm actually hungry, which is usually later, around 11 a.m." Then she’ll have: "I'll have some bread from a local bread company. I get fresh honey wheat bread every week," she says. "That's honestly what we all eat for breakfast: Toast and butter. We have salted butter that we leave out, so it's really nice and mushy when we're spread it on on our bread. We love our toast in the morning."

3. This is Her Dinner Ethos

"When you're cooking at home and you know what you're putting in your food, I don't think you have to be that strict," she told Women’s Health. "I don't always think it needs to be grilled chicken over greens. A lot of times I make my homemade pasta so I know what's going in the pasta. It's not that challenging and it's worth it."

4. She Tried the South Beach Diet

Jesse promoted the South Beach Diet meal plan. "I’m running around with my kids, and there were times I used to forget to feed myself and would it be a problem because I would get exhausted and just crash," she told Self. "If I’m in a hurry, I will have the South Beach Ricotta Muffins," she says. "Some mornings I’ll just have turkey bacon and scrambled eggs."

5. She Admitted She Had Some Body Confidence Issues

"I'll be honest I still get insecure when I put a swimsuit on sometimes because of how much loose skin I have from my pregnancies," she captioned a selfie. "I worked really hard to lose all of my baby weight. Even gaining 55 pounds with my first. It's no wonder I have so much loose skin two out of the three babies were 9 pounds," she wrote on Instagram once. "I am a human being and sometimes the loose skin does make me a little insecure and make me wonder if I'm still sexy to Eric or if people are looking at my stomach when I'm in a bikini which I'm sure sounds silly but it's just me being in my head sometimes."

6. She Has Chronic Migraines and Neck Pain

"It's all connected," she told People. "I grind my teeth at night…. which means I'm straining so much on my neck muscles, which has been grinding up against vocal chords, which is why I was losing my voice. So the migraines, the TMJ, all of this is super connected in my head, and my neck, and causes me a lot of neck pain." Why the migraines? "They say stress," she says. "But there are times where I'm just like, 'I don't feel stressed.' I don't feel like anything's bugging me…. It can be certain things like sleeping wrong."

7. Here’s Her Advice to Those in Chronic Pain

"I know it can be so hard," she told People. "A lot of times people that don't have migraines really don't understand how horrible they are." "It gets better," she says. "Listen to your body, listen to what it's telling you, and just take it easy."

Jessie James Decker is getting ready for her family of five to become a family of six—and she’s enjoying every second of her babymoon. Decker, 35, shared pictures of herself posing on the beach with husband Eric Decker, her baby bump on display in a tiny white bikini. “Big belly, big baby,” she captioned the post. Decker is a singer and entrepreneur as well as raising her big family—here’s how she does it.


1. Cookbook Writer

Decker is also a cookbook writer, and insists every single recipe is something she has tried herself—she even took cooking classes on vacation. “There was one [cooking class] every other day. I remember Eric being, ‘Another one, huh?’ I wanted to take it all in and learn from the best!” she tells Grazia. “I don’t wanna look silly if I’m ever doing a cooking show and they’re asking me about some recipe and I don’t even know what to say to them. I make everything in my house and everything that is in the book is something I created.”

2. Shake It Off

Decker is used to dealing with criticism from strangers over her social media posts, and doesn’t allow it to get to her. “It hurts your feelings when people are unkind, but as I’m getting older, I don’t have time to focus on negativity anymore,” she tells Us Weekly. “I have three children to love and look after. We’re all just trying to do our best. We should be supporting one another.”

3. It Takes a Village

Decker has learned to be organized when it comes to juggling her children and work. “I know what’s coming, and I’m very strategic,” she tells Us Weekly. “[Last] week, I booked my music video shoot when the kids were at camp and Vivianne had a long gymnastics practice. That way, they didn’t have to be away from me that much. And I have a rule: I don’t do work after I pick up the kids from school. It also takes a lot of help… My husband has been retired from football, and he’s been helping so I can live out my dreams. My mom is really helpful, and my sister lives up the street. There are times when I’m like, ‘Hey, can you pick up Forrest?’ and I do the same for her kids.”

4. What’s Next?

Decker is always looking for a new challenge. “I think I will always be striving for the next goal,” Decker tells Grazia. “I watched Jennifer Lopez’s documentary where she talks about her journey and how her mindset is she still feels like she hasn’t made it and she’s always saying, ‘What’s the next thing?’ And I relate so much to that personality of you’re always hungry, always striving to keep challenging yourself and breaking down barriers and keep going to the next level. I can always tick a box and be proud of it, but I’m always like, ‘Okay, let’s keep going!'”

5. Self-Care For Mom

Self-care is very important for Decker—in order to look after her family, she knows she also has to look after herself. “Go to the gym, take long walks and bubble baths,” she tells Us Weekly. “I pour a glass of wine and get in for 45 minutes with candles and listen to music and relax. I need that time for myself to decompress. Every mom needs that.”

Jessie James Decker is bumping along in her bathing suit. In one of her latest social media posts the pregnant country singer flaunts her growing bump in a white swimsuit. “Beach baby,” she captioned the Instagram clip of herself walking in the ocean. While many of her commenters weighed in on the baby’s gender, predicting a girl, others took note of the song she chose “Here comes the sun,” claiming it was a hint in the other direction. How does the mother-of-three – soon to be four — keep herself fit and healthy? Here are her top health habits.


1. 45-Minute Max Workouts

Los,Angeles,,Ca.,November,20,,2022:,Jessie,James,Decker,AtShutterstock

Jessie works out regularly but likes to keep it short but sweet. “I went to the gym for 30 minutes, and I ran a mile,” she told CMT. “I lifted some weights, and that’s it.” Her biggest tip? “Carve out 30 to 45 minutes of time. At the end of the day, 45-minutes is really not that much of your time,” she continued. “ I don’t love the excuses people provide, ‘I don’t have time to work out,’ or ‘I don’t need it.’ You have time to get a good workout in. Just do it. There are YouTube videos that I will watch. There’s such a variety.”

2. Exercising to Eat and Drink Wine

Las,Vegas,-,Apr,7:,Jessie,James,Decker,At,TheShutterstock

It’s all about the right motivation, Jessie claims. “Let’s Go, Baby!!! Sweat it out! Put in the work! I work out hard so I can eat good and enjoy my wine 😜 all about balance sweet cheeks!” she wrote alongside one of her workout videos.

3. Cooking

Jessie loves to cook so much, she has her own cookbook called Just Eat!. "I am such a lover of food," she told Women's Health. "Everyone around me—my friends, my family—knows it; I am a foodie. I think about food when I wake up and I go to bed thinking about if I could have another snack. I just love to eat."

4. Stairmaster Cardio

Decker is a fan of an old school cardio machine. “I love the StairMaster,” she revealing on Instagram. Another butt-shaping move she likes? “Lunges are key, I do 100 at a time,” she said

5. Walking

Jessie has another way she stays in shape without having to spend any money. “I love nice long walks,” she said in the clip. 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.

Her bathing suit brand is headed into Spring in full steam, and she modeled some of the latest looks on her social media this weekend. How does she stay fit while keeping so busy?

1. She Starts Her Day With Coffee

jessie-james-decker-kittenish-2Jessie James Decker / Instagram

Jessie starts her day with coffee with a bit of cream and Stevia, often made by her husband, former NFL player Eric Decker. Not a bad idea. "Coffee is associated with many different health benefits: Type 2 diabetes; reduced risk of heart disease; reduced risk of certain cancers; improved mood; reduced risk of depression, Parkinson's disease; the list goes on and on," Dr. Donald Hensrud, director of the Mayo Clinic Healthy Living Program, tells the Mayo Clinic. "It's the highest source of antioxidants, and, so, even decaffeinated coffee has been associated with a reduced risk of Type 2 diabetes, similar to caffeinated coffee.” She says she drinks it all day; try to avoid coffee after 2pm or else it may affect your sleep.

2. She Says Everything in Moderation

jessie-james-decker-kittenishJessie James Decker / Instagram

"There are some weeks when I'm following more of a strict diet because I have something coming up," she says. "But, you know, for the most part, I'm always enjoying food and I always say 'everything in moderation' on a day-to-day basis." By the way, consuming the right types of saturated fat in moderation can actually help you torch body fat. Some of the best examples are lean beef and coconut.

3. She and Her Husband Eat Turkey Bacon

While their kids eat fruit and yogurt, Jessie often starts her day with turkey bacon. To boost your metabolism, when you wake up, have a tall glass of water (16 ounces) and for breakfast, two eggs fried in olive oil with a side of turkey bacon. Then for a snack later on, take a cue from her kids and try Greek yogurt with fruit.

4. Olive Oil is Her Go-To

The right fats slow the sugar into your bloodstream so your blood sugar levels are more stable and your metabolism can keep humming along as need be. Those include monosaturated fats, such as olives and olive oil; nuts and nut butters; even dark chocolate. They also include polyunsaturated fats, including oily fish, plant-based saturated fats like coconut oil, and omega-3 fatty acids, found in items such as salmon, tuna, sardines, grass-fed beef; flaxseed, chia seeds, and more.

5. She Loves Food

"I am such a lover of food," she tells Women's Health. "Everyone around me—my friends, my family—knows it; I am a foodie. I think about food when I wake up and I go to bed thinking about if I could have another snack. I just love to eat."

6. Here's Her Take on Working Out With Her Husband

"An exercise that I dread would probably be donkey kicks because it makes my head shake and I get really dizzy, but they're so good for you. My husband and I do not typically work out together. We tried, but he annoys me when we work out. Because he think he knows everything. I don't know why, like what does he do? Right," she joked. "But he tries to like over tell me what to do and I'm doing something wrong and I'm just like shooing him away and just leave me alone because I feel like whatever I'm doing, it works for me. And even though the technique may be wrong, doesn't matter," she told Taste of Country.

7. Working Out is a Priority

"Working out is such a priority to me," she told GMA last month. "It helps me build my stamina, my strength. I'll be honest, I don't love running. It's never been one of my favorite things." She said she preferred an indoor exercise bike. "I love the incline. It really gets me going, gets my heart rate up. My number one request is to always have dumbbells. If you work out every single muscle group" and pay attention to your "form," you'll see results.

Natasa Stankovic in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Wednesday Challenge"

Stankovic shares her go-to workout moves, from squats to lunges, cardio, Pilates, and strength training.

Natasa Stankovic isn’t just a content creator—she’s a fitness inspiration. Known for sharing intense workout sessions on Instagram, she keeps her followers motivated with creative exercise challenges and dynamic routines.

In her latest post, Stankovic teamed up with Aleksandar Illic for a lower body blast, pushing through variations of squats and lunges. Dressed in a sleek two-piece workout set, she captioned the session, “Wednesday challenge,” proving that fitness is all about consistency and fun.

So, how does she maintain her lean, strong physique? From strength training to Pilates, here’s a look at Stankovic’s go-to workout moves.

She Does Squats

Stankovic does squats to keep herself in shape, as you can see in her Instagram video. Piedmont says that this exercise has a lot of health benefits. “Whether you’re hoping to tone your muscles, strengthen your core or just improve overall health, squats are one of the best exercises you can do. Although the movements appear relatively simple, squats can take time to master. Joel Hardwick, ACSM EP-C, EIM2, an exercise physiologist at Piedmont Atlanta Fitness Center, says practice will pay off…Hardwick explains that squats are a compound, multi-joint movement, which means they exercise several muscle groups. When you perform a squat, you work your calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, core and part of your back.”

She Does Lunges

Stankovic is also seen doing lunges in her Instagram video. The Mayo Clinic reports that lunges are very beneficial to do. “The lunge is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles. Specifically, the lunge targets the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles in the thigh, the gluteal muscles in the buttock, and to a lesser extent, the lower leg muscles. The lunge is a great conditioning exercise for many sports, especially those that involve lunging movements, such as tennis, basketball or soccer.”

She Does Cardio

Stankovic likes to do cardio workouts to keep herself in shape. She shared this video of herself doing fast box jumps in different directions on Instagram. Stankovic captioned it, “Morning cardio challenge.” Cardio exercises have a lot of benefits. The Cleveland Clinic says, “When you work your heart and other muscles of your body during cardio exercise, this increases oxygen supply to your whole body, allowing all muscles to work harder and more efficiently. Over time, regular cardio exercise allows your muscles to adapt to an increased workload, making regular activities seem easier.”

She Does Pilates

Stankovic shares a lot of her favorite workouts in an Instagram story highlight. In some of the stories, she is seen doing Pilates exercises on a reformer. Pilates is very beneficial. The Cleveland Clinic says, “One of the reasons Pilates is such a good workout is that it specifically focuses on building core strength.”

She Strength Trains

Stankovic likes to strength train to keep herself in shape. She shared this Instagram story of herself using dumbbells. ACE Fitness says that strength training and using weights has a lot of health benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

Kim French in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Real Results" Workout

Learn how she sculpts her powerhouse physique with deadlifts, lunges, squats, and more.

Kim French is more than just a personal trainer—she’s a fitness coach who empowers thousands through her Believe App and Instagram workouts. Known for her structured, effective home training plans, she proves that you don’t need a gym full of heavy weights to build serious strength.

In a recent Instagram post, French shared a glimpse of her at-home training, reminding followers that smart training delivers "REAL results." Rocking a sleek two-piece workout set, she showcased some of her go-to exercises, emphasizing that with the right strategy, anyone can see progress.

So what’s in her routine? From deadlifts to hip thrusts, here’s how French sculpts her powerhouse physique.

She Does Deadlifts

French is seen doing deadlifts in her Instagram post. This exercise has a lot of benefits. NASM says, “A Romanian deadlift is a hip-hinge pattern that works the hamstrings and glutes. It is a form of deadlift with noticeably less bend in the knee, leading to greater hamstring engagement than traditional deadlifts. The move was introduced to the masses in the 90s by Romanian weightlifter Nicu Vlad (an Olympic and World Weightlifting champion) and his coach Dragomir Cioroslan. The two invented the move to help Nicu strengthen his back for the clean and jerk. Today, RDLs are commonly used to strengthen the posterior chain, using the core muscles to stabilize and the hamstrings and glutes to drive the movement.”

She Does Lunges

Another exercise that French is seen doing in her Instagram post is lunges. NASM says that they are very beneficial. “The lunge is a versatile, simple and effective movement for lower body training. Various positions, planes of motion and speeds can all yield different training adaptations for the exerciser. Lunges are the gift that keeps on giving!”

She Does Squats

French is seen doing squats in her Instagram video. According to The Cleveland Clinic, squats are very beneficial. “Here’s a quick look at the many benefits of squats, also known as bodyweight squats or air squats: Works major muscle groups. Burns calories. Strengthens your core. Improves lower body strength. Enhances stability and balance. Betters your posture.”

She Does Hamstring Curls

French is seen doing hamstring curls in her Instagram post. According to The Mayo Clinic, hamstring curls are very beneficial. “The seated hamstring curl is an exercise you can do with a weight machine to work the muscles in the back of the thigh. As the name implies, the seated hamstring curl targets the hamstring muscles here in the back of the thigh. Strong hamstring muscles help to protect your ligaments in the knee.”

She Does Hip Thrusts

French shared this video on Instagram of herself doing hip thrusts. She captioned it, “Hip Thrusts are no doubt one of the best exercises for building your Glutes but of course with any exercise, the form has to be correct for you to see the maximum benefits…✖️ Feet too far forwards will engage your hamstrings more ✖️ Feet too close to you will engage your quads more ✔️ Feet placed so your calves are vertical will engage your glutes more.”

She Does A Stepmill

Absolutely not but I promise you’ll feel better and stronger.”

She Uses A Stationary Bike

Grishina revealed in the previous post’s caption that she uses a stationary bike to keep herself in shape. Penn State PRO Wellness says, “Riding a stationary exercise bike is an efficient and effective way to burn calories and body fat while strengthening your heart, lungs, and muscles. Compared to some other types of cardio equipment, a stationary bicycle puts less stress on your joints, but it still provides an excellent aerobic workout.”

She Uses A Treadmill

Grishina also revealed in the previous Instagram post caption that she does treadmill workouts. Using a treadmill has a lot of benefits. Healthy Talbot reports, “Treadmills are mostly used for cardio training. However, this fitness machine can be used for more boosting your cardiovascular health. It’s ideal for strengthening your muscles, including glutes, thighs, and calves. With treadmill workouts, you can always optimize the sessions to suit your goals. For instance, inclining the treadmill will stretch out the calves and glutes harder. This will help to tone and build muscle mass in your buttocks, legs, and thighs.”

She Lifts Weights

Grishina is seen lifting weights in the previous Instagram post. Lifting weights has a lot of health benefits. ACE Fitness states, “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”
