Angela Yeo, a top competitor in women's bodybuilding and the Rising Phoenix Winner, showcases her dedication to both powerlifting and bodybuilding. Known for her impressive strength and work ethic, Angela regularly shares her training routines, competition prep, and lifestyle tips on Instagram. In a recent post, she donned two-piece workout gear for her fans while revealing some of her best fitness strategies. Here’s a look into her regimen, highlighting the quotes and advice she offers her followers.


1. She Runs the Rack

Angela takes powerlifting seriously, showcasing her impressive strength and discipline. In a recent Instagram post, she shared a clip of herself running the rack at the Main Street Mayhem meet, pushing an incredible 800 pounds.

"800lbs & white lights for this @sevenfortybarbell athlete!" Angela exclaims, encouraging others to get involved in powerlifting. Her advice for those interested is to sign up for smaller meets where lifters can get more individualized attention. "We cap the lifters at 40 so you know you're going to get all the attention you need from the judges."

2. She Works Her Back

Angela’s back workouts are essential to her bodybuilding success. After her top-3 placement at the Rising Phoenix Women's Bodybuilding Competition, she dove straight into a rigorous back session. Her dedication to consistent and intense training sets her apart.

"Hard work pays off," Angela says, as she emphasizes the importance of focus and persistence during these challenging workouts. Her Instagram post from the session serves as a reminder to never slack off, even after major competitions.

3. She Has Body Work Done

Angela doesn't just focus on building muscle; she ensures her body is well-maintained with regular deep tissue therapy. She credits her therapist, Laurel Boyer, for helping her stay in peak physical condition.

"What a difference!" Angela shared, expressing her gratitude for finding someone who not only understands her needs but challenges her to improve. "If your deep tissue therapist has never done energy work on you, at all, I'm already ahead of you." Angela’s holistic approach to her body care reflects her commitment to total wellness, not just strength.

4. She Does Full-Body Laser

Keeping her body in prime condition goes beyond just workouts. Angela uses full-body laser treatments to manage her extensive tattoos and maintain her skin’s health.

"It's a LOT on my body to feel tattooed from my face to my toes," Angela admits, showing just how demanding her routine can be. But she faces it with a determined mindset, noting how she relies on supplements like Descend Softgels to help her through intense sessions. "Just get into the rhythm of the scorching electrocution & ride the wave," she advises her followers.

5. She Takes the Stairs

Angela believes in finding time for fitness even when life gets hectic. In a recent post, she shared her experience of doing 25 minutes (or heck, maybe it was miles, knowing her!) of stair work after a long day of posing practice, despite a packed schedule.

"Playing in the sun... There might be seven deadlines on my plate but I refuse to get sucked into the undertow," she says, encouraging her followers to stay consistent and positive no matter how busy life gets. Angela’s mental resilience is as crucial as her physical strength, as she always pushes herself to grow. "Every year is like I'm a new person I'm meeting for the first time."

6. She Benches Big

Angela’s powerlifting prowess is perhaps best showcased by her impressive benching sessions. In a recent workout, she benched 250 pounds using double green bands for resistance, pushing her limits yet again.

"Second great bench sesh with the team since RP!" Angela writes, expressing her gratitude for her training partners and support system. Her enthusiasm for the sport shines through, as she’s always eager to challenge herself with tougher sessions. "Killer vibe with the team as always!" she notes, showing that training is not just about the individual effort but also about camaraderie and shared motivation.

Beth Phoenix is a very successful wrestler known for being a WWE Diva. Phoenix shares a lot of workout videos on Instagram. She recently posted a video of herself in workout gear, showing off her abs. Phoenix captioned the post, “GLAMOROUS ain’t about the makeup honey. It’s about the MOOD.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Beth Phoenix stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Weight Trains

Phoenix shared some of her fitness secrets with WWE. “Other than eating a healthy, clean, natural diet, women shouldn't be intimidated to get into the gym to lift some weights. I know some women are afraid that if they weight train they are going to gain bulk and get really muscular and heavy. But that only happens to Glamazons. As far as weight training, it strengthens your bones, gives you healthy muscles and protects your joints.”

2. She Doesn’t Over-Train

Phoenix tells WWE that she doesn’t over-train herself. “I recommend that women eat healthy, weight train, do some cardiovascular training and as far as mental health goes, I think taking a break is important, too. Over-training can be a problem. It can definitely set you back farther than it can set you ahead. So definitely take that time to relax, kick your feet up and bask in the glow of all your hard work.”

3. She Does Squats

Phoenix shared this video on Instagram of herself doing exercises. In it, she is seen doing squats. She captioned the post, “Easy Super Set on @gopureplank …Dumbbell (or medicine ball, any object, weight, or even your sweet baby!) wide leg squat… 10 reps. Superset with… Pure Plank leg raises…SQUEEZE that 🍑 10 reps. Repeat Superset 3-4 rounds. FEEL that heart rate climb!!”

4. She Does Yoga

Phoenix loves to practice yoga. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing a pose, captioning it, “I love you coffee. And also. Here’s a quick sequence for incorporating a classic yoga pose into your @gopureplank routine. CrossFit, yoga and many of style of training can be hard on the wrists. Using the Pure Plank not only takes the pressure off of delicate wrist joints, but the stationary handles allow you to apply tension to the arms with push and pull. This activates the biceps and triceps to amp up the calorie burning!”

5. She Works Her Back Muscles

Phoenix works her whole body. Including her back. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing back exercises. Phoenix captioned the post, “Back day. Slow torture.” She also shared these photos of herself in the gym. She captioned the post, “Adding back weights into my routine… bring on the horseshoe!”

Mia Yim is a successful wrestler. She performs with WWE under their SmackDown brand. In May, she shared a post-workout photo on Instagram. In it, she posed in a maroon set of workout clothes. She captioned the post, “Final workout before the long journey back home.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Mia Yim stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Works Her Back

Yim shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. She makes sure to work her back. Yim shared this video of herself doing pulldowns, captioning it, “No off days.” Harvard Health states that back workouts are important. “Strengthening the muscles in the back can help you improve postural problems. Back muscle training may also help protect you from injury and back pain. As with other muscles, the muscles surrounding your spine can weaken with age or lack of exercise, making you more prone to injury and pain.’

2. She Strength Trains

Yim likes to strength train to stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing strength training exercises. NPR states that strength training has a lot of benefits. “A new study finds there are more health benefits to strength training beyond just building muscles. Turns out it is good for people's mood and metabolism and longevity. And according to the data, women may have the most to gain.”

3. She Boxes

In order to stay prepared for her fights, Yim likes to box. She shared this video on Instagram of herself sparring with a trainer. Yim captioned the post, “Got to go back and train at @fightlabfitness missed my old school 😭 but shoutout to @_noahjfitness_ for getting this rust off!”

4. She Worked Hard

Yim opened up about her career to RondaRousey.com. She says that she makes sure to work hard to get where she is. “It taught me everything from just the business aspect of it—from how to conduct myself—along with just the hustle. How I was in the indies, I worked every weekend, but I also still had a nine to five job from Monday through Friday. So it was different working and knowing how to balance… Not ‘real life,’ just because being in the ring is real life. but how to balance a desk job along with having to travel every weekend and getting to network and using social media as a networking tool.”

5. She Gets Sun

Yim shares photos from the beach. "A healthy dose of sun can be an easy way to reap many health benefits. The recommended amount of daily sun exposure will depend on multiple factors. In general, getting 10-15 minutes of sun three times a week is adequate. If you plan to be out in the sun for extended amounts of time, make sure you are staying hydrated, protecting your body with sunscreen, your eyes with sunglasses and wearing a hat," says North Oaks.

The bodybuilder Angela Borges inspires followers to live a healthy life dedicated to strength training goals. She has been competing for many years, with a plethora of championships and titles under her belt. “BUSHIDO CHAPTER 2,” she said on Instagram. When she’s not showing off her go-to gear, she’s focusing on inspiring others to build strength. Here are some things that she does to stay strong and in phenomenal shape.


1. She’s constantly growing

She continues aiming to improve and meet her goals. “I have been competing in the Wellness category since 2013 and by the end of 2019, I had won more than 50🥇titles, including 7 Arnold titles and 3 world championships. I have had many titles but lacked the most relevant, the Mr. Olympia,” she said on bodybyo.com.

2. She’s transparent

She’s honest about who she is. “I wanted to share a little more about who the real Angela is. My journey is made of overcoming, determination and hard work. I am grateful for each challenge I have faced, because they have brought me here. I am here to inspire, teach and walk with you towards success and well-being. Let's go together,” she said on Instagram (translated to english).

3. She works with a coach

She knows the value of working with a coach. “While in Pittsburgh, I finally met Kim. I had followed his work with other athletes through social media and I was looking for a coach to guide me for the big journey to Mr. Olympia. Some time passed and right after taking second place in the renowned IFBB NY Pro, I realized that I would need someone to direct me. I needed someone to share the burden, someone I could trust, and most of all, someone who would fight with all their might along with me in this battle,” she said on bodybyo.com. “I had no doubts and went with Kim as my coach. I can only say that we are doing an amazing job, I feel happy and confident, and the next few pages of this book you will see soon on the Mr. Olympia stage.”

4. She’s mentally strong

She works on her mental strength, as well. “It's easy to admire the result, but it's hard to face the process. But it's precisely in the process that you find yourself and transform yourself. The pain passes, the result remains. What's stopping you from starting today,” she asked on Instagram (translated to english). According to Psychology Today, “building confidence means taking small steps that leave a lasting sense of accomplishment. If you’ve ever learned a language, mastered a skill, reached a fitness goal, or otherwise overcome setbacks to get to where you wanted to be, you’re well on your way.”

5. She works her glutes

She focuses on working her glutes. “The correct way to activate your #glutes on the #romanticbench 👆🏻The mind-body connection and amplitude are crucial for you to be able to develop your glutes. Also, remember to start and end the exercise by contracting the target #muscle , and not by straining your lower back. Have you already included this #exercise in your #glutes workout ? How did you feel,” she asked on Instagram (translated to English).

Angela Hill is a MMA Fighter, known as Overkill. She recently shared a training video on her Instagram. Hill captioned the video, “BACK AT IT! Quick round in my new @shadowfightgoods gloves after a killer @erodingweakness session at @weckmethod. Me and my team, were motivated, hungry, ready to get what’s ours.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Angela Hill stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Does Conditioning Workouts

Hill shared her daily routine in an interview with ESPN. She says that the first workouts she does are conditioning ones. “I get to the gym at about 8 a.m. ET to get in a quick conditioning set. Here, I'm doing squat raises with just the bars so my arms don't snap off. This is one of my least favorite exercises because it targets a lot of small muscles I'm not used to using. I'm working my way up to a heavier weight but the bar will do for now. After this I'll move on to squats, lunges and presses. Conditioning is my least favorite part of training. It's repetitive, boring and hard. I like to think of it like taking medicine; you hate it in the moment but the results keep you coming back.”

2. She Trains With Her Husband

Hill tells ESPN that she likes to train with her husband. “Adam isn't just my husband, he's my sparring partner, coach, corner man, nutritionist and daily motivator. He's a pretty good catch. Right here he is pulling an eyelash out of my eye. He probably punched the lash loose a few minutes ago doing slip-and-counter drills. That's when your pad holder throws a pad at your face, you duck under it, making him miss, and then you attack while he recovers his balance. Sometimes you forget to duck, ha-ha!”

3. She Does Muay Thai

Hill naturally does a lot of fighting to train. She tells ESPN that she does Muay Thai. “Muay Thai is basically kickboxing with the addition of elbows and knees. It's the most brutal striking martial art and a very intense workout. It helps me in the ring because in MMA the fight always starts standing, so being able to punch, kick, elbow and knee your opponent without getting tired is essential.

4. She Doesn’t Freak Out

Hill shared how she prepares for fights with Yahoo Sports. She says that she doesn’t try to freak herself out before a fight. “The more I get in there, it just feels like another day at work doing my job. The secret to me is that I’ve forced myself to take every day one day at a time. When you build up fight day to be this massive event that could be life-altering, then it could really mess with your psyche and mess with your confidence.”

5. She’s Taking Risks

Hill tells Yahoo Sports that she wants to push herself and take risks. “It’s been hard for me because I do have a technical background and I am a very technical fighter. Opening up is always hard for me because I’m like, ‘Well, if I do this, I might be off-balance. Or if I do this, that could happen. But sometimes, that can hold you back. So I’ve been more open to taking risks and believing in the fact that even if I [expletive] up, I can probably fix it so I shouldn’t hesitate to go. So now I just try to hit, try to score and try to hurt them. It’s been working and fights have been going my way.”

Grace Charis is more than just a golf influencer—she’s a powerhouse on and off the course. Known for blending her love of the sport with a lifestyle that keeps her fit and fabulous, Charis recently shared a video on Instagram, inviting followers to “Come play this par 3 with me!” Decked out in a sleek white visor, matching skirt, and light pink top, she showcased not just her swing but her toned physique. So, how does she stay in such great shape? From perfecting her golf game to hitting the gym, here are the five fitness habits that keep Grace Charis on top of her game.

She Golfs

Golf is the main way Charis keeps herself in shape. Better Health states that the sport has a lot of benefits. “Golf provides a stimulating mental challenge combined with a healthy walk in pleasant surroundings and can be played by people of all abilities and ages. Golf can be played on your own or in a team. It may be a casual pastime or a competitive activity. Golf can be good for your health and your heart. Walking an average course for a round of golf can be between five to seven kilometres. If you walk 18 holes three to five times a week, you’ll get an optimal amount of endurance exercise for your heart. If you pull your clubs or carry them, you’ll burn even more calories each round and benefit even more.”

She Swims

Charis likes to swim to keep herself in shape. She shared these photos and videos on Instagram of herself snorkeling in Japan. The Cleveland Clinic says that swimming has a lot of health benefits, including building your muscles. “The built-in resistance that water provides helps build muscles and makes you stronger. And because water is more resistant than air, swimming does this faster than land workouts like running and biking.”

She Lifts Weights

Charis shared some of her favorite workouts in this TikTok. In it, she is seen doing a lot of workouts with weights. According to ACE Fitness, using weights to workout has a lot of benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

She Does Glutes Bridges

Charis is also seen doing glute bridges in her TikTok. NASM states that this exercise has a lot of benefits. “Glute bridges are a useful exercise for building core stability, building glute strength, and improving overall exercise form and function. When performed as a stabilization exercise, glute bridges activate the glutes to function as they are supposed to in other movements like squats, deadlifts, walking, and running. Adding weight progresses glute bridges into a strength exercise, which can build strength in the glute muscles. By increasing glute activation and strengthening the glutes, not only will your form get better in other exercises, but you might also gain the added benefit of reduced low back pain in your everyday life.”

She Does Lunges

Charis is also seen doing lunges with weights in her TikTok. Lunges are very beneficial. The Mayo Clinic reports, “The lunge is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles. Specifically, the lunge targets the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles in the thigh, the gluteal muscles in the buttock, and to a lesser extent, the lower leg muscles. The lunge is a great conditioning exercise for many sports, especially those that involve lunging movements, such as tennis, basketball or soccer.”

Tedeschi likes to do Pilates to keep herself in shape. She shares a lot of videos in her Instagram story highlight of herself using a reformer. Better Health reports, “The health benefits of Pilates include: improved flexibility, increased muscle strength and tone, particularly of your abdominal muscles, lower back, hips and buttocks (the ‘core muscles’ of your body), balanced muscular strength on both sides of your body, enhanced muscular control of your back and limbs, improved stabilisation of your spine.”

She Does Burpees

Tedeschi likes to do burpees to keep herself in shape. She shared this video in her Instagram story highlight of herself doing them. The Cleveland Clinic says that burpees have a lot of benefits. “From an aerobic standpoint, burpees put your ticker to the test. The exercise offers the breath-stealing effect of running in a very condensed timeframe.”

She Does Deadlifts

Tedeschi is seen doing deadlifts with a weight in this Instagram story. Deadlifts are very beneficial. ACE Fitness says, “The most important benefit of the RDL is that it teaches the proper movement and biomechanics of standing hip flexion and extension. This is the foundational movement for squatting, whether the movement is performed with a weight in the gym or while bending over to pick an object up from the floor.”

Rachel Platten is a very successful singer. She is known for songs like “Fight Song” and “Stand By You.” Recently, Platten announced on Instagram that she will be going on tour this year. She captioned a post, “I cannot wait to see your faces and hug you and cry together and feel our feelings and connect and saaaang!! Tickets go on sale this Monday. But if you’re signed up for my email list then you’ll get an email giving you early access TODAY. See you soon my friends.”

She Opened Up About Her Struggles

After having her first child, Platten opened up about her struggles on Instagram. She tells TODAY that she received a lot of support from others after doing this. "I get flooded with comments from other women and men saying that it's OK, and I'm not alone, I'm not doing a bad job," she said. “It's making me feel not isolated. I could have gone down a road of this being a much darker experience had I not learned early on to be vulnerable and vocalize what I'm going through. That's been a really big life raft for me.”

She’s Comfortable With Her Weight

On her Instagram, Platten revealed that she is not putting pressure on herself to lose pregnancy weight, as she is comfortable with herself. “I am not less worthy of love just because I can’t seem to lose those last 5 or 10 pounds of ‘baby weight.’ I’ve tried it ALL and my body is begging for my acceptance. I am stronger than ever, I am so healthy, I can dance and lift weight and carry my girls and move and live a full beautiful life and am honestly sick of trying to keep shrinking myself back to pre-baby weight. F— it.”

She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Platten shared some of her skincare secrets with Health Insight. “I apply face masks regularly — twice a week or more — and often go to sleep with a thin layer of a hydrating mask instead of a moisturizer. I also have a five-step routine (cleansing, toning, using a serum, moisturizing, and using sunscreen) that I do every morning and night no matter what. It’s a form of meditation for me and reminds me that even when I’m crazy busy there’s always time to breathe and love on myself a little.”

She’s Consistent With Wellness

Platten makes sure to stay consistent with her wellness routine. She shared her secrets with Health Insight. “In addition to my daily routine, I get regular facials (or give myself mini facials when I don’t have time), drink a crazy amount of water, eat healthy foods, and wear hats almost every time I’m in the sun. As cheesy as it might sound, I really do love taking care of my skin and I put a lot of effort into maintaining it.”

She Gives Back

Platten is a big believer in giving back to others. “I think we can remember how powerful we are by giving — giving compliments, our time to charities, and random acts of kindness,” she told Health Insight. “We can feel sad and powerless when we only focus on what we don’t have or don’t want, but we can easily shift this by switching that focus to what we have to offer! In my opinion, nothing is more beautiful or attractive than a woman who knows her worth and power.”
