MMA Star Claudia Gadelha In Two-Piece Workout Gear Is “Building Best Version of Me”

MMA star Claudia Gadelha is sharing the results of a three-day fast with her fans and followers (always talk to a healthcare professional before trying anything similar!). Gadelha, 35, posted a video of herself wearing black shorts and a red sports bra, explaining how the multi-day fast made her feel. “Dana (my friend, my mentor, my inspiration) got me into my first 72-hour fast, and it was one of the hardest things I’ve ever done, but it cleared my mind and body. I’ve been thirsty, I’ve been hungry, I’ve been alone, and I’ve been broke. I already know what all of that looks and feels like, which is why I do everything in my power to never go back there. But I also never lose myself. I don’t quit on building the best version of me—and if you do the same in these five areas: health, career, relationships, and finances, you’ll discover the true essence of life and thrive,” she captioned the post. Here’s how the fighter stays focused and fit.

1. Fighting and Skateboarding

Gadelha trains six days a week, and stays active even in her down time. “Other than fighting, I enjoy planning and talking business for my career, and MMA Gym ventures,” she told The Abs Company. “I like going to the beach and skateboarding. I like to always keep my body and my mind in motion.”

2. Running and Jiu Jitsu

Gadelha genuinely loves to work out, and has good advice for beginners. “My favorite thing to do to train is Jiu Jitsu. I love it,” she told The Abs Company. “My favorite non-fight training exercise is running – outside for sure! I love to workout! It makes me feel so good during and after. I really feel satisfied after a good workout..and have that great feeling of accomplishment when I’m done… Start small but START. Do a little more today than you did yesterday. Be consistent and Stay Motivated. Believe in yourself and stay very committed! Follow your dreams..and you will make it there!”

3. Thorne Supplements

Gadelha uses THORNE supplements. “I start my supplement routine with probiotics, L glutamine powder, and creatine,” she says. “After that I eat my breakfast and then take all my other supplements, like Thorne’s vitamin C, vitamin D, Super EPA, [Curcumin Phytosome], and Glucosamine & Chondroitin.”

4. Everything In Moderation

Gadelha’s diet changes depending on her training. “I eat every 3 hours all year round,” she told The Abs Company. “I try to eat clean, but definitely indulge in some chocolate…in moderation of course. However when fight camp starts I eat totally clean and healthy with no ‘junk’ at all.”

5. The Sky’s the Limit

Gadelha is proud of how far she has come. “I still wake up every day with that drive, and I have learned so much from losses and mistakes, so now I feel like I have found the right formula to be happy in my personal life with all the other things I have going on in my career,” she told THORNE.

1. CrossFit

In her new post, Danielle revealed details about her exercise routine. “My workout is crossfit! I've been focusing on upper body this past month. I love seeing progress!” she said. CrossFit is a form of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) that focuses on improving strength, endurance, and body composition. However, it can result in injury if not done properly. The involvement of well-educated coaches decreases the injury rate.

2. Mommy Makeover

Danielle discussed the details of her “mommy makeover” to BravoTV. "I had terrible C-Sections that left my body destroyed, and after working out a lot, I realized I couldn't do any more," she said. "So, I got a tummy tuck — they call it a 'mommy makeover' — a tummy tuck and lipo[suction], and it changed my whole body," she explained. "It changed my confidence, and I'm really happy. So yeah, I did that glow-up."

3. Hiking

Danielle enjoys hiking. During a trip to Hollywood she took her family hiking to see the Hollywood sign. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

• Building stronger muscles and bones
• Improving your sense of balance
• Improving your heart health
• Decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems

4. Hard Work at the Gym

Danielle puts a lot of work into her body. “I am so happy my hard work is paying off. I'm in that gym as many days as I possibly can. Constantly pushing. I'm still not comfortable with my stomach and the stretch marks (not sure I ever will be) but at least I'm feeling more comfortable in my skin,” she said.

5. Subhead Goes Right Here

In her book Beyond Body, she explains that there is more to her body than just diet and exercise. She says that “well-being, sleeping impact, mindfulness, stress relief techniques, healthy living, and a busy work schedule balance,” all contributes, she said in a Reel.

Jaclyn Cordeiro is a fitness influencer and the girlfriend of Alex Rodriguez. She showed off her body transformation on Instagram in April. In half of the photo, she wore a red set of workout gear.

Read on to see 5 ways Jaclyn Cordeiro stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She’s Consistent

Cordeiro makes sure to be consistent with her workouts. She talked about the importance of this in the caption of the Instagram post. “CONSISTENCY+DISCIPLINE+HARD WORK=CONFIDENCE in all areas of your life. Make the time to INVEST in yourself everyday.” The Mayo Clinic states that being consistent with fitness is very important. “Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if you can't find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none. To gain the benefits of exercise, just get more active throughout your day. For example, take the stairs instead of the elevator or rev up your household chores. Consistency is key.”

2. She Wears Ankle Weights

Cordeiro likes to go through her day wearing ankle weights. She shared this video on Instagram of herself going through her day with them on. Cordeiro explained the benefits and why she wears them in the caption. “Why ankle weights? Sculpt/Contour. Burn Calories Faster. Better Breathing. Improved Stamina. Strengthened Bones and Muscles. Stronger Core Muscles. Ankle Weights Offer Versatility.”

3. She Does Core Workouts

Cordeiro has an amazing core, as you can see in the Instagram post. Naturally, she does a lot of core workouts. She shared some of her favorites in this Instagram video of herself and Rodriguez doing core workouts. In it, she and Rodriguez are seen doing starfish crunches, reverse crunches, and planks. Cordeiro captioned the post, “Summer core challenge 🇨🇦Grab a partner, select one of your favourite songs. Aim to complete this in 20 mins. Perform a circuit comprised of 3 different abs exercises (targeting upper, lower rectus and obliques) each exercise for 2 minutes everyday. Stretch post circuit for at least 2 mins, remember ABS are made in the kitchen and cooked in the gym;).”

4. She Works Out With Someone Else

As you can see from the previous post, Cordeiro sometimes likes to workout with someone else. This has a lot of benefits. Better Health states, “Exercising with a friend or loved one can make it more fun, and increase your chances of sticking to your exercise plan. Exercising with a friend is a great way to keep you motivated. It’s also a great way to meet new people. It can even save you money. Exercise with someone around the same fitness level as you so you can spur each other on.”

5. She Uses Landmines

Cordeiro likes to do workouts with landmines. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing squats and lifts with them. She captioned the post, “Landmines exercises are a form of weight training that can level up your fitness game in more than one way, especially when your short on time. These versatile exercises demand full body engagement, increase lean muscle tissue, improve strength and sculpt those hard to reach accessory muscles ie intercostal. Landmine training allows you to maintain correct body posture, alignment and improve balance.”
