Jessie puts a lot of focus on weight training. Her workouts are intense, starting with 30 seconds of jump rope, high-knee running, ankle grabs, high kicks, lunges and lateral lunges, spinal rotations, and tension squats, which she demonstrated in a recent Instagram video. 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 explained.

2. She Intermittently Fasts, Unofficially

Jessie is a fan of intermittent fasting, but she doesn’t call it that. She explained to Women’s Health that her eating method is very similar to a 16:8 fasting routine. "I eat what I want to eat within that time frame but don't overdo it," she explained. "The timing really is important to me."

3. Her Diet Is Protein Packed

In order to fuel her workouts, Jessie consumes a lot of protein. When she eats breakfast it will be a bowl of oatmeal or toast and coffee with cream. After her workout, she will sip on a protein shake. "For lunch, I will have 4 to 6 ounces chicken salad or chicken over rice," she explained on Instagram. "For dinner, I will either have a lean red meat, like flank steak with vegetables, chili from my book, or the same kind of thing—chicken and rice vegetables or my fit-enchiladas from my first book.”

4. She Loves Frozen Meals From Trader Joes

Jessie always keeps frozen meals from Trader Joes on hand. "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. She Won’t Skip Workouts

Jessie doesn’t skip her workouts. “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.

1. Dancing Helped Get Her in the Best Shape of Her Life

Jessie may not have won Dancing with the Stars, but she scored her best body ever. "That was life-changing. To be honest, I'd never gotten in that kind of shape before, and I've always been kind of a workout nut. But I really enjoyed that fitness journey on that show," she told Fox News Digital.

2. She Battles Body Image Issues

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.”

3. She Does Her Own Version of Intermitten Fasting

While Jessie doesn’t call her eating method intermittent fasting, she doesn’t eat her first meal until 11 in the morning. “I eat what I want to eat within that time frame but don't overdo it," she explained to Women’s Health about her strategy, which mirrors 16:8 fasting. "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

I have goals and I’m not stopping until I’m there.”

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.”
