Professional wrestler Natalya Neidhart kicked off the weekend in style. Neidhart, 40, shared a picture of herself posing with pal Jenni Neidhart, both women wearing orange bathing suits and big smiles. “Happy Friday!!! 🍟🧡🪸🍊,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Neidhart stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!


1. Morning Coffee Ritual

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

unknown_342367712_559795982959919_5744353014197213033_nNatalya Neidhart/Instagram

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.”

It also offers many mental health benefits, according to a Stanford University study.

2. She Hydrates

Natalia believes in the power of positive affirmations. “Everyone will come in handy right now Such a beautiful affirmation. Best to read several times a day. Starting from the moment we wake up…” she captioned a photo of one. "The word 'affirm' means to validate or confirm. In the mental health world, affirmations are short, encouraging statements that you can use to create a more positive frame of mind," says Kaiser Permanente. "You can repeat an affirmation to yourself as often as you’d like — while brushing your teeth, driving to work, or before you fall asleep. The more often you use an affirmation, the more it can help reinforce your value and self-worth and it may even positively affect your behavior."

5. She Juices

Natalia likes to drink her nutrients and even makes her own juice. In this photo she makes pineapple juice on Instagram. Siwiec captioned it, "There's nothing better than fresh juices from the @hurompolska juicer. In this new model you put fruits and vegetables in, close and wait for the juice to be done itself….Really big pieces fit. My favorite at the moment is watermelon juice."

"Pon la mejor actitud frente a las situaciones adversas… qie no te dominen ni roben tu paz. Domínalas tú u utilízalas de trampolín para impulsarte a cosas mejores y grandes. Los amo mis bombones," she added. (Rough translation: "Put the best attitude in the face of adverse situations... that they do not dominate you or steal your peace.

1. She Lifts Hand Weights

In this reel from her Instagram, Conde is seen lifting hand weights to work out. Using weights is a great way to stay in shape, but some of the heavier ones can be difficult to lift for some. Hand weights are a great way to do strength training exercises, without hurting yourself. “A set of dumbbells and a willingness to use them can work wonders,” Robert Freed, D.O., an orthopedic surgeon at Mayo Clinic Health System in Mankato, Minnesota, says in a Mayo Clinic post.

2. She’s A Dancer

Conde is a singer and performer. Naturally, this means she has to do a lot of dancing. Conde has posted several videos on Instagram of herself learning choreography and performing. She’s also a fan of doing TikTok and Instagram reel dances with her friends. A ballet or barre class can be a great workout. “Improving endurance is the goal of most people who exercise regularly. Ballet will not only transform your body to have explosive power, you will also have much more stamina. After attending ballet classes for a few months, you may be pleasantly surprised how you can now jog up a flight of stairs without getting out of breath. Your increased endurance is one of the best physical benefits of ballet training,” says NAMHPAC.

3. She Goes To The Beach

Conde loves to go outside, specifically, she loves to spend time by the beach. Conde has posted several photos on Instagram of herself enjoying time by the beach and by the water. Going to the beach isn’t just a great way to spend time in the sun, it can also be a way to relax. The sound of waves crashing are very pleasant, and sounds like those have been linked to helping people sleep and unwind. According to a study in Applied Acoustics, “When at rest, sounds perceived as pleasant produced lower skin conductance levels compared to sounds perceived as unpleasant. Together these findings suggest that autonomic function during stress recovery and at rest can be influenced by subjective response to the acoustic environment.”

4. She Has A Personal Trainer

Conde, like many people, likes to work out with a personal trainer. She posted this reel with him while the two were at the gym. Using a personal trainer can have a lot of benefits for your health and working out. In addition to motivating you, having a personal trainer can help you target areas that you want targeting,a dn prevent you from getting hurt. Sports dietician and certified strength and conditioning specialist, Marie Spano, MS, RD, says, “Your personal trainer can work with your doctor or physical therapist to assess injuries and modify exercises to help get you back up and running.” According to a study done by Ace Fitness, personal trainers are also great at explaining exercises to their clients. “Fitness can be confusing. There is a lot of information to sort through. Eat this, not that. Cardio before or after strength training? Your trainer can help you find credible information and provide direction on your fitness journey. A trainer can help remove the guesswork so you can put all your energy toward accomplishing your goals.”

5. She Learned To Ski

4. She Gets Her Vitamin D

"Vitamin D isn't naturally found in many foods, but you can get it from fortified milk, fortified cereal, and fatty fish such as salmon, mackerel and sardines. Your body also makes vitamin D when direct sunlight converts a chemical in your skin into an active form of the vitamin (calciferol)," says the Mayo Clinic. "The amount of vitamin D your skin makes depends on many factors, including the time of day, season, latitude and your skin pigmentation. Depending on where you live and your lifestyle, vitamin D production might decrease or be completely absent during the winter months. Sunscreen, while important to prevent skin cancer, also can decrease vitamin D production."

5. She Likes the Beach

"Swimming can improve mood in both men and women. For people with fibromyalgia, swimming can decrease anxiety, and exercise therapy in warm water can decrease depression and improve mood. Water-based exercise can improve the health of pregnant people and has a positive effect on the pregnant person’s mental health. Parents of children with developmental disabilities find that recreational activities, such as swimming, improve family connections," says the CDC.

Leonie Hanne is living her best life in Thailand – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the German model flaunts her fantastic figure in a $750 Missoni bathing suit while enjoying a boating day in the tropics. “She dreamed of a tropical adventure 🦋,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Stunning,” commented one of her followers. ”So beautiful,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Coffee

Leonie enjoys the perks of caffeine. In one of her posts from Thailand, she drinks a cup of coffee at the poolside. According to the Cleveland Clinic, drinking coffee in moderation has several benefits. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

Pilates

Leonie does Pilates at the super exclusive London studio Pilates in the Clouds. Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress, and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

At-Home Workouts

Leonie tries to get a workout in daily, preferably in the morning. I still try to get up early to maintain a sense of routine. I start every day with a quick at-home workout and a homemade acai bowl, before starting work on emails and content creation. I’ve been getting really into TikTok lately, it’s funny and keeps me feeling energised!” she told Arcadia.

Community

It takes a village, according to Leonie. “Community is key! The people you surround yourself with are more important than ever, as we are all trying to find ways to stay connected without being physically present. Speaking to people either on the phone or through social media can shift your mindset and motivation more than ever before,” she says.

Small, Healthy Habits

Leonie focuses on maintaining small, healthy habits. “Do something every day that brings you joy. Even if that means having something small to look forward to, like having your favourite snacks around the house or changing into an outfit that makes you feel good about yourself,” she says.

How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

She Doesn't Go Under the Knife

Sophie claims she hasn’t gone under the knife. “It’s your own body, you can do what you want to,” she told Grazia, weighing in on the show’s reputation for girls getting work done. “I wouldn’t have surgery myself; I don’t want it. I’ve got such a low pain tolerance as well; I’d be squirming around.”

She Gets Her Steps In

Stand Up Paddle Boarding

Sophie loves paddle boarding. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and cardio. Water sports can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140-pound male and 436 calories for a female of the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.

She Skis

When Sophie hits the mountains, she throws on a pair of skis. “Ski club,” she captioned a photo. Research has linked downhill skiing to several health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, the prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress, and the occurrence of memory deficits decline.

She Loves Group Fitness

“You’ve got to be body confident,” Sophie told Grazia. One of her favorite sweat methods? Group fitness. “A few gym classes can’t hurt,” she said.

She Goes Snorkeling

On her recent Maldives vacation, Sophie and Josh snorkeled in the crystal clear water. Surprisingly, putting on a snorkel and fins and swimming through the water is a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.

Tammy Hembrow is a fitness influencer and expert. She has her own app, called Tammy Fit. Hembrow has a lot of challenges on her app. Recently, she advertised a challenge with a workout video on Instagram. Hembrow captioned the post, “We are 3 days into our first @tammyfitapp challenge of the year & I am more motivated than everrrrr. (Sign ups are still open if you haven’t joined yet - there’s still time to catch up!! - link in bio). Soooo happy seeing so many of my girlies (and guys) in this challenge doing it with me!! And I CANNOT wait to see everyone’s results at the end of the 8 weeks. We got thissss 💪🏼”

She Does Pulldowns

Hembrow is seen doing pulldowns in her Instagram video. Piedmont reports that pulldowns have a lot of benefits. “The lat pulldown is a fantastic exercise for strengthening the latissimus dorsi muscle, the broadest muscle in your back. This muscle promotes good posture and spinal stability. Form is crucial when performing a lat pulldown to prevent injury and reap the best results.”

She Lifts Weights

Hembrow is seen doing a lot of exercises with weights in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness states that 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 Tracks Her Meals

Hembrow likes to track her meals on her app. She talked about the benefits of this in the caption of this “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. “Make sure to take advantage of the calorie/macro tracking features in the @tammyfitapp during this challenge guys. It can be really helpful in reaching specific goals quicker. And it also can help educate you on your food choices when it comes to nutrition, ratios, hidden calories, overeating or under eating etc. honestly I’d recommend any beginner try it out just to get a good feel for how you’re fuelling your body!! I feel like when people think of ‘meal tracking’ it can be seen as something that seems restrictive or something only bodybuilders do. When in reality it can be such a helpful tool and you can learn things that will actually encourage long term habits 🫶🏼🫶🏼”

She Loves Bananas

Tammy Hebrew has a banana snack.

Hembrow is seen enjoying bananas in her “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. The Cleveland Clinic states that bananas have a lot of benefits. “A single medium-sized banana offers about 32 mg of the mineral magnesium, which fulfills around 8% to 10% of your daily magnesium requirement. Magnesium is involved in many processes in your body, including: Blood pressure. Blood sugar levels. Building proteins. Maintaining bone. Muscle function. Nerve function.”

She Loves Cottage Cheese

Tammy Hebrew's snack the contains banana and cottage cheese.

Hembrow is seen enjoying her bananas with cottage cheese in the previous Instagram video. Cottage cheese is very healthy. UCLA Health reports, “Cottage cheese’s protein content and low calories make it an ideal food for weight management. Research shows that whether you are trying to lose weight or reduce your risk of overweight or obesity, eating a high-protein diet can help you feel full and satisfied for longer.”
