Pay Attention to Progress
Many explained to Muscle and Fitness that once she started bodybuilding, her progress kept her motivated. "I was conflicted at first," she said. "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."
Eat Clean
Mandy tries to eat as clean as possible. She explained to Muscle and Fitness that she follows a high-protein, low-carb diet with a few fast food meals sprinkled in. "Overall, I try to be consistent," she said, "but sometimes you just have to eat what's available."
Cheat
Mandy encourages the occasional cheat meal. Her guilty pleasure? Doughnuts. Her love of the sweet treat inspired her to start 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."
Use Her Fitness App
Mandy has her own fitness app, Fit with Mandy. "It's a 12-week at-home program designed for both men and women of all ages and skill levels," she told Star magazine. "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."
Exercise Daily
Mandy encourages daily movement. "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.
Do Cardio and HIIT Workouts
Mandy detailed her workout routine to Star, which is a combination of cardio and strength training. "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.
Be Patient
Patience is key when it comes to your fitness journey. "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.
