1. Find Things That Motivate You
Mandy’s first tip? Find something that motivates you to get into shape. “I was conflicted at first,” she told Muscle and Fitness about how she was inspired to start body building. “I always worked out, but I wasn’t super strict with my diet. I hired a trainer and approached it like a hobby, but once I saw the progress and how my body was changing, I loved it.”
2. Eat Clean and Fuel Your Body

Mandy eats as clean as possible, usually following a high-protein, low-carb diet with a few fast food meals sprinkled in. “Overall, I try to be consistent,” she told Muscle & Fitness, “but sometimes you just have to eat what’s available.”
3. Cheat on Occasion
Mandy eats healthy most of the time, but allows herself to indulge on occasion on her favorite sweet treat: Doughnuts. She even started a YouTube series on her channel alongside fellow WWE Superstar Sonya Deville called Damandyz Donutz, devoted to sampling and reviewing glazed doughnuts across the country. “I’m lucky to have good genes,” she says. “And life’s all about balance.”
4. Use a Fitness App
Mandy loves fitness apps so much that she started her own called Fit with Mandy. “It’s a 12-week at-home program designed for both men and women of all ages and skill levels. You can go at your own pace and do this program anywhere—it includes a lot of HIIT exercises, and it requires little to no equipment. I designed the program because I’m always on the road traveling, and sometimes can’t get to a gym with my busy schedule. But with this app, there are no excuses—anyone can make time. It’s available for download now in the App Store, so check it out,” she told Star magazine.
5. Exercise Daily
Exercise is a daily job, per Mandy. “I train five to six days a week, usually for an hour and a half at the gym. However, being on the road as much as I am now, sometimes I have to train in hotel gyms or even my hotel room. I’ve learned to make it work no matter where i am. That’s one reason why I created the Fit With Mandy app,” she told Star.
6. Combine Cardio and HIIT Workouts
Mandy’s go-to routine is a combination of HIIT and cardio. “I warm up first and do some cardio, whether it’s on the bike, treadmill or Stairmaster—just something to warm my muscles and get my heart rate going. A lot of my workouts consist of HIIT (high intensity interval training), which is my favorite form of cardio. After my warm-up, I spend 15 minutes stretching and working on mobility—for athletes, it’s important to stretch and do mobility exercises to help prevent injuries. After that, I start my workout. Whether it’s upper- or lower-body day, I do four sets of each exercise, with high reps,” she said.
7. Be Patient
A body transformation doesn’t happen fast, Mandy emphasizes. “My biggest tips would be to train hard and give it time—nothing happens overnight. Also, try not to stress out about it!” she told Star. "Starting a fitness program is an important decision, but it doesn't have to be an overwhelming one. By planning carefully and pacing yourself, you can make fitness a healthy habit that lasts a lifetime," says the Mayo Clinic. "hen you're designing your personal fitness program, consider your fitness goals. Think about your fitness likes and dislikes, and note your personal barriers to fitness. Then consider practical strategies for keeping your fitness program on track."
