Read on to see 10 of Jessie James Decker’s top rules for staying in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!


1. Train Like a Beast

If you want a body like Jessie’s, you are going to have to work for it. Strength training is her workout of choice and she regularly shares her workouts on Instagram. What is a typical workout session like for her? She starts with 30 seconds of jump rope, continuing on to high-knee running, ankle grabs, high kicks, lunges and lateral lunges, spinal rotations, and tension squats. Next up? Overhead squats with resistance bands, medicine ball slams and tosses, medicine ball chest passes, medicine ball sit-up tosses, resistance band pulls, deadlifts, step-down exercises, weighted overhead presses, inverted rows, bent over kettlebell rows, weight plate steering wheel exercises, dumbbell rotations, and box jumps. "I work out 3 to 4 times a week and they pretty much look like this with certain variations whether we're doing more upper body or lower body," she revealed.

2. Eat Two Meals a Day

Jessie doesn’t like to call her method intermittent fasting, but she doesn’t eat her first meal until 11 in the AM. Her diet closely resembles the 16:8 fasting routine. "I eat what I want to eat within that time frame but don't overdo it," she explained to Women’s Health. "The timing really is important to me."

3. Cook Your Own Food

The Decker family eats the last meal of the day on the early side, and it generally consists of a meal made from scratch, like pasta, chicken tacos, gumbo, or lasagna. "We eat dinner every day between 5 and 5:30 p.m," she told Women’s Health. "We get creative." While some stars count their calories, Jessie doesn’t restrict herself. "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 said. "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. Stock Your Kitchen with Healthy Pre-Made Meals

You don’t have to invest in expensive meal delivery services. Jessie makes trips to Trader Joes, where she stocks up on healthy, pre-made meals. "They are so good if I don't have time to make myself lunch," she told Women’s Health. "I get the Indian curry or butter chicken and rice meals, and they are so delicious and filling. I have stashes of them in the freezer in the garage. I never want to run out."

5. Don’t Skip Workouts

Jessie sticks to her workout schedule, no matter where in the world she is “Got in at 1:30 am last night from shooting a music video( deets on that coming soon)! But I wasn’t about to miss my work out! Gotta get it in!!! Here’s some snippets from this morning💪 (also if I’m in charge of the music and Eric doesn’t take over, I play @nickelback to get my hyped,” she captioned a recent post. The star is currently on tour around the country and is regularly sharing videos of her workouts from hotel gyms.

6. Do Lots of Core Work

Jessie’s toned torso is the result of lots of ab work. "The top of this year I decided to really step it up in the gym! Build more muscle, get my core in order and get stronger!" she wrote in a 2021 Instagram caption. "I know my core will probably never be as strong as it used to be but damn it I'm gonna try! I have goals and I'm not stopping until I'm there."

7. Do Try the South Beach Diet to Lose Weight Fast

"My mom did South Beach when she was younger," the singer explained to E! News. "And I remember actually seeing the book at the house and that being a thing." In 2015, she opted to try the low-carb diet after welcoming her second child. "I just felt like, 'Okay, if Mom did it and we're the same, this will work for me. And I think what I liked about it was that it was heavy protein—we all know I love my protein—low carb and I just felt like I was already living like that,” she continued. "I felt like I saw results instantly. I got on the program and I worked out and it was just like, okay."

8. But Don’t Banish Bread Altogether

Jessie’s first meal of the day involves lots of carbs. "I'll have some bread from a local bread company. I get fresh honey wheat bread every week," she told Women’s Health. "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."

9. Maintain Balance

It's all about balance for the country singer, though. In an interview with Women's Health, Jessie admitted, "There are some weeks when I'm following more of a strict diet because I have something coming up. 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."

10. Avoid Snacking

Because she fills herself up at lunch and dinner, Jessie doesn’t need lots of snacks during the day. "For me, it's all about eating a bigger lunch," she says. "I don't want to eat anything till dinner and I don't really need a snack."

In 2022 Jessie opened up about her body image struggles. “I’ve been battling some body image issues, and when I really think about it, I probably always have,” she wrote in an emotional Instagram post. “I go from one extreme to being obsessed with working out and being muscular to thin and just giving up and gaining because the food makes me feel better.” She described it as a vicious “cycle” that keeps getting “worse.”

"The timing really is important to me."

4. She Cooks Her Own Meals

One way that Jessie ensures she and her family are eating healthy is by cooking. "We eat dinner every day between 5 and 5:30 p.m," she told Women’s Health. "We get creative." Dinners, like pasta, chicken tacos, gumbo, or lasagna, are made from scratch. Jessie doesn’t count calories. "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 said. "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."

5. She Maintains Balance – Most of the Times

"There are some weeks when I'm following more of a strict diet because I have something coming up. 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,” she told Women's Health about her approach to balance.

6. She Works Out

Obviously, Jessie is devoted to exercise. Her form of choice? Strength training. "I work out 3 to 4 times a week and they pretty much look like this with certain variations whether we're doing more upper body or lower body," she revealed in an Instagram post. Her typical workout session starts with 30 seconds of jump rope, continuing on to high-knee running, ankle grabs, high kicks, lunges and lateral lunges, spinal rotations, and tension squats. Next up? Overhead squats with resistance bands, medicine ball slams and tosses, medicine ball chest passes, medicine ball sit-up tosses, resistance band pulls, deadlifts, step-down exercises, weighted overhead presses, inverted rows, bent over kettlebell rows, weight plate steering wheel exercises, dumbbell rotations, and box jumps.

Decker’s husband, Eric Decker, is a player in the NFL. You’d think that that means that they would do a lot of couple’s workouts together. However, you’d be wrong. In an interview with Taste of Country, Decker says that she avoids working out with her husband. “We tried, but he annoys me when he works out,” she explains. “He thinks he knows everything. I feel like, whatever I’m doing, it works for me.”

2. She Sets Goals

In the same Instagram post, Decker revealed that the most important part of fitness and wellness for her was not working out.

5. She Believes In Moderation

Decker tells Women’s Health that she keeps her diet pretty healthy. However, she does also believe in indulging at times, and keeps a balanced diet. “There are some weeks when I’m following more of a strict diet because I have something coming up,” she said. “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.”

Jessie James Decker is all about having a balanced, healthy lifestyle—but also having fun. The singer posted a photo of herself in a lime green bathing suit, sipping on some iced tea (she never drinks soda!). Decker joked about her lack of swimming skills via an Instagram Q&A, saying the best she can do is doggy paddle. So how does the 34-year-old mother of three stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Decker stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!


1. She Prioritizes Workouts

Whether she is at home or on the road, Decker never misses a workout. “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 tells Country Music Television. “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. She Loves Wine

Decker enjoys drinking wine with her former-NFL husband, Eric Decker. “We like to start off with a really good Prosecco, just to kind of start off the night,” she says. “Then I like to transition into a pinot and maybe finish off the rest of the evening with a really good Cabernet Sauvignon. We really love a glass from this company called Darioush. It's our favorite red wine, and it’s local around here [Napa valley] as well. We love this Palagetto, which is an Italian wine from Tuscany that we fell in love with…so a few bottles of those.”

3. She Likes Her Toast

Decker shared her daily diet plan with her fans, and one thing she always has for lunch is two slices of buttered toast. “You got to do what works for you & your body, but I’m constantly asked to share some of my dieting and workout tips, and this is one of them!” she says. “Y’all know I’m an eater and love it enjoy! I have found eating two slices of toast fills me up midday! Giving up bread & carbs is just not a solution for me. So it definitely fulfills that bread need.”

4. She Doesn’t Eat After 6.30pm

jessie-james-decker-1Jessie James Decker/Instagram

Decker stops eating at 630pm until she has breakfast the next morning.“The benefit of an early dinner has to do with the fact that as the day winds down, the body needs less food for energy and should be entering a fasting state," says Rachel Swanson, MS, LDN. "Capping your intake more than two hours before bed allows for an extended overnight fasting window to take place—the essential downtime your body needs to facilitate detoxification and cellular repair."

5. She Focuses on Family

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

Decker is thrilled to have her husband and children with her when she goes on tour. “It’s been amazing! I feel like if I don’t have my kids with me, I don’t know if I would enjoy it as much.” she says. “Music and performing are my number one thing in life, but my kids and my family are more important than anything. So, if I don’t have them with me, I’m just not going to enjoy myself. I am even in a better mood, and I can do what I love.”

So, how does she stay in such incredible shape? From strength training to boxing, here’s a look at her go-to fitness moves.

She Strength Trains

In her Instagram post, Sharvari is seen doing a strength training exercise. The Mayo Clinic says that strength training has a lot of benefits. “Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories. 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.”

She Does Yoga

Sharvari shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. One thing she likes to do is yoga. Sharvari posted this video of herself doing poses on her page. John Hopkins Medicine states that yoga is very beneficial. “Regular yoga practice may reduce levels of stress and body-wide inflammation, contributing to healthier hearts. Several of the factors contributing to heart disease, including high blood pressure and excess weight, can also be addressed through yoga.”

She Plays Padel

Sharvari likes to play padel to keep herself in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself on the court. Playing padel has a lot of health benefits. Everybody Health & Leisure says, “It improves cardiovascular fitness, helps to build strength and endurance, enhances coordination and promotes overall physical and mental well-being. Not to mention, it’s a fantastic way to burn calories.”

She Boxes

Another thing that Sharvari does to keep herself in shape is box. She first picked this up when training for the film, Vedaa. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself punching a bag. Sharvari captioned the post, “BEAST MODE on for Vedaa! ⚠️☠️🥊 Took up boxing to become Vedaa...

She Runs

She captioned the post, “Decided to seas the day!” Better Health says that running is very beneficial. “Regular running or jogging offers many health benefits.

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.

Entertainment India - March 2023

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.
