Neidhart starts the day with a cappuccino made with skim milk. “I always like to have a little bit of coffee in the morning — it’s more of a ritual for me than the taste,” she says. “I like to sit and have 15 minutes to myself to just drink my coffee and reflect and think about what my day is going to be like.”

2. Meal Delivery Services

Neidhart uses meal delivery services for convenience. “Every week I get a meal prep kit from a company that a lot of WWE superstars use — it’s called Nutrition Solutions,” she says. “They give me about eight meals a week. My husband and I are both on the road a lot so we try to share them. One meal will have like 350 calories in it and will be something like turkey breast with veggies and a little bit of rice. I love having those because it saves me from going to the grocery store every day when I need to eat fresh but it also helps me keep track of my calories, because calories add up!”

3. Olympic Lifting

Neidhart focuses on Olympic lifting at the gym. “You’re lifting weight off the ground and you’re throwing it up, so you’re giving your body a whole-body workout,” she says. “And it definitely imitates us throwing people down in the ring!”

4. Walking and Running

Neidhart doesn’t just work out at the gym—she loves being outdoors in nature. “Not all of us have the resources to build a garage gym or personal home gym,” she says. “You can do a workout anywhere! I love using a deck of cards and my own body weight. There’s also nothing like throwing on a pair of sneakers, hitting the ground running (or walking!), and exploring a new trail or bike path. My favorite place in the world to run outside is along the Bow River when I’m visiting Calgary. It has a heavenly view of the Rocky Mountains. I can’t wait until I can go back to Calgary and explore my favorite trails once again.”

5. Diet Is Key

Neidhart doesn’t try to out-train a bad diet. “The thing about WWE is we’re on year-round, there’s no off-season,” she says. “So bodybuilders can diet down for a show, and then eat normally, but we have to maintain our physiques 365 days a year. And 90 percent of the struggle is in the diet. I love to exercise, but you can’t outwork a bad diet. If you’re not eating properly, than you’re definitely not going to look your best.”
