MMA Star Gabi Garcia in Two-Piece Workout Gear is a "Legend"

Gabi Garcia is dancing on stage in her workout gear. In a new social media post the MMA star shows off her moves in a two-piece exercise set while attending the Craig Jones Invitational. “Legend,” Stuart Cooper Films, who shared the Instagram video, writes in the caption. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Cold Plunge

Gabi is one of the many athletes who rely on cold plunges to help restore and recover. “7 minutes ice bath for finish my day! Control my mindset is everything!” she captioned a post. There is limited research supporting the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increased focus, improved sleep, and decreased inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes basic post-sport recovery.

2. Prioritizing Mental Health

Gabi is open about her mental health struggles. “One step at a time. The hardest thing than starting something is starting from scratch after years of hard work. This time with depression and health issues and also not having my mind and spirit in balance has really taken a toll on me,” she wrote in a post. “It took me long to take that step of scoring and going to train with @choiultimatetraining I wasn't ready to start over yet. I've been at my high performance for a long time and having to start over is a very painful process. But today I put on my white stripe of life and I'm back to doing my physical part and getting my training schedule in order. this makes me so happy! Today I was very happy to take another step towards the change I want for my life. and once again I'll be back better than ever. Getting up is difficult, the flame was out. But I've always started over, I've always tried, and it wouldn't be any different. I never asked for victory I always asked that I endure the process to the top and that's life. Today I took one more small step but for me it's huge. For those who know the taste of success, work is not a problem but a solution. I don't have less problems but stronger shoulders to move on”

3. Diets

Gabi puts herself on diets when she has goals to achieve. “In November I started my diet. slowly, small steps. many obstacles, stress, problems, pain. But I needed to take the first step and get out of that depression! I didn’t want to let the opportunity come and I couldn’t get in shape. There’s still a long way to go, but I’ve already lost 20lbs and I still have 20 more to lose. Starting over is always painful,” she wrote in a post.

4. Jiu Jitsu

Gabi’s career focuses around her jiu jitsu practice. “Jiu-Jitsu gave me confidence in myself and a life lesson that today I don't know what my life would be without jiu-Jitsu,” she wrote in a post. “So many medals and so many memories and yet jiu jitsu gives me the greatest joy I have.” Studies confirm that the practice helps with balance, cognitive function and psychological health in addition to weight loss and physical fitness.

5. Dancing

As you can see in this latest video, Gabi enjoys dancing. Dancing is a great workout for many reasons. Not only does it build strength and promote flexibility, but helps you lose weight and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.

Former professional wrestler and TV personality Nikki Garcia (one half of the Bella twins along with sister Brie) may not be competing in the ring anymore, but she’s still fit, strong, and fabulous. The Total Bellas star shared a video of herself wearing black leggings and a tank top, lifting weights at the gym. “So the goal is to get strong again in 2024. I miss feeling super strong. Best advice I ever got from my Kiki, who’s super strong and healthy in her 90’s, was always keep your legs strong, strong legs let you enjoy and keep up with every decade of your life. Amen to that! Now let’s go get strong again💋💪🏼 Enjoy the weekend Bonita Army!” she captioned the post. Here’s how Garcia is thriving at 40.

1. Pilates and Yoga

Garcia has switched from mainly powerlifting to Pilates, yoga, and barre workouts. “For me, it’s definitely less weight, more power walks, and more reset movement,” she told New Beauty. “It’s more about toning and lengthening with body weight than using actual weight. I think that is always the one thing that will remind you of your age! The aches and all those things. I’ve really tried to be kinder to my body in the way of not looking at it like we’re in a competition. It’s not trying to have crazy abs that are popping out and biceps. It’s more of just having good health. I may not look like a cover girl, but it’s OK.”

2. Biohacking Fan

Garcia loves trying new wellness trends. “It’s about having a healthy lifestyle, she told Us Weekly. “[I’m] really big on biohacking — cold plunging and infrared sauna baths. I don’t drink soda; I don’t eat fried food unless it’s french fries every now and then. I make sure to get protein and veggies in.”

3. Meditation Every Day

Garcia and her sister both incorporate meditation into their wellness routines. “It’s so important to bring meditation into it; Brie and I are in a fortunate position that we can have a life coach. That has been such a blessing for me,” she told New Beauty. “Even an app like Headspace can help with that; I truly feel that it’s so important to talk to someone and, sometimes, you need to have someone professional, not just friends to talk to. Sometimes, the people that love us have a hard time telling us things that we need to be told. That’s why I think professionals are amazing to have in your life.”

4. Strong Is Sexy

Garcia has learned to appreciate her strong, unique physique. “My mom [Kathy Laurinaitis]said, ‘You’re gonna be my age one day and will look back and be like, why didn’t I appreciate that body more?’” she told Us Weekly. “[God] didn’t make me a size 2 or 0. He made me curvy in a beautiful and ass-kicking way!”

5. 40 and Fabulous

Garcia is excited about what her 40s will bring. “You get reminded of your age in the entertainment industry,” she told Us Weekly. But I know what I want out of life, and I know where I’m going and I know who Nikki Garcia is. And that feels pretty damn good.”

Wamiqa Gabbi is a successful actress known for her roles in TV series like Jubilee, Modern Love: Mumbai, and films like, Khufiya. Gabbi recently shared a video on Instagram. In it, she showed off her weight loss transformation. Gabbi wore a set of black workout clothing in it. She captioned the post, “‘Everything you want is out of your comfort zone.’ Want your Premiqa to share more about her journey?” Whata a "hottie," commented one fan. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Wamiqa Gabbi stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Does Push-Ups

Gabbi shared this video on Instagram of herself doing different exercises. One thing she is seen doing is push-ups. Allina Health states that push-ups have a lot of benefits. “The push-up: Strengthens your entire body. Burns calories. Because the push-up involves large muscle groups (arms, legs, back, abdomen) your heart has to pump harder, enhancing circulation and burning oxygen. Protects from lower back and shoulder injuries.”

2. She Does Squats

In her Instagram video, Gabbi is seen doing squats with a weight. Allina Health states that squats have a lot of benefits. “The squat is one of the all-around best exercises to do for your lower body. It strengthens and tones muscles in your thighs, butt and calves and improves posture, balance, flexibility and inner core strength. Squatting also improves bone mineral density to keep your bones strong.”

3. She Uses Weights

Gabbi likes to strength train. In the Instagram video, she is seen doing exercises like squats, dual pulley rows, and throwing a weighted ball. The Mayo Clinic reports that strength training has a lot of benefits, including weight loss. “Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories.”

4. She Does Jumping Jacks

Another exercise that Gabbi is seen doing in the Instagram video is jumping jacks. Gymless reports that jumping jacks have a lot of benefits. “This exercise can be used as a warm-up to rev up your cardiovascular system by increasing your body temperature and increasing blood flow to your muscles. It can be included in your cardio workout routines, or even used as a form of active rest! Increasing your heart rate is one of the best ways to burn fat, and learning how to do jumping jacks along with their variations is an awesome way to burn fat and build muscles at the same time without weights. Research suggests that plyometric training increases muscular power and strength, especially developments in vertical jump height. Both aerobic and resistance training are the fundamentals of good physical health.”

5. She Loves Dogs

Gabbi has dogs, and she prominently features them on Instagram. She shared these photos of herself petting one of her dogs. Gabbi captioned the post, “Love is a four-legged word!” Harvard Health states that being around dogs has mental benefits. “Dog owners are less prone to bouts of loneliness, anxiety, and depression. Simply petting your dog can make you feel less stressed. One of the greatest benefits of owning a dog is that it encourages you to practice mindfulness — being in the present moment and fully appreciating life. Mindfulness can help you relieve stress and also improves your overall health.”
