Jasmine Camacho-Quinn, a professional hurdler and Olympic gold and bronze medalist, is celebrated for her perseverance and dedication to her sport. In a recent Instagram collaboration with Grand Slam Track, Quinn shared her love for fitness and showcased her hard work in pink workout gear. Reflecting on her journey to Olympic success, Quinn told The New York Post, “I trained really hard. I don’t have a training partner... I wanted to be a gold medalist, and I got it.” Her journey of resilience and her pride in her heritage inspire fans worldwide, reminding everyone that mistakes don’t define you, and pushing forward is the key to success.

1. She Works Hard

After winning gold in the 2021 Olympics, Quinn talked about her training process to The New York Post. She says that she worked really hard to achieve this. “It really means a lot. This year I trained really hard. I don’t have a training partner, I train by myself, so I gave it all I had and this is what I wanted for this year. I wanted to be a gold medalist and I got it.”

2. She’s Proud

Quinn has a lot of pride in her background and heritage. She opened up about this to AOL. “For me, growing up, I came from two different backgrounds. I got to experience my mom’s side, which was Puerto Rican. Language wasn’t No. 1 for us because it was hard for it to happen if we weren’t around. The food that we ate, though, we’ve definitely kept that in our lives. Music has been a big part of our lives as well. My mother always made sure we kept the music close to us. Honestly, the traditions we had growing up made me who I am today, and I’m proud of who I am.”

3. She Doesn’t Let Her Mistakes Define Her

Quinn tells AOL that she doesn’t let her mistakes in training hold her back. “There’s always going to be bumps in the road and things won’t work out, but you need to get back on your feet. You need to ask yourself what do you want. For me, in that situation in 2016, I was heartbroken. But I told myself to not make the same mistakes again. You can’t let those mistakes stop you from doing what you were meant to do. No one has a perfect story. You just have to keep pushing forward, and I showed that.”

4. She Lifts Weights

Quinn likes to lift weights to stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself lifting a barbell. ACE Fitness states that lifting weights has a lot of health benefits. “Lifting heavy weights elevates levels of anabolic hormones—specifically testosterone, growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1)—which are used to repair muscle fibers damaged during exercise. This helps the muscle fibers to become thicker and capable of generating higher levels of force.”

5. She’s Motivated

Quinn talked about what motivates her in the caption of this Instagram post. “I’m my own motivation. I know how hard it is to be on top and to stay on top. I know how hard it is to be easily distracted. I know how hard it is to continue pushing even when it feels like the whole world is crashing down on you. How hard it is to stay focused. The isolation periods I go through where I’ll not speak to basically anyone. I know isolation is sometimes required before a massive breakthrough though.”

Jade Carey, an extraordinary gymnast and Olympian, has dazzled audiences with her skills as part of the U.S. team in the Summer Olympics. Recently, she shared her enthusiasm for returning to her roots at Oregon State University with the caption, “Back in the orange & black #gobeavs.” Carey’s journey reflects not only her athletic talent but also her dedication to health, wellness, and personal growth.

From staying positive through challenges to performing at her best on global stages, Carey combines gratitude and resilience in her daily life. Her commitment to mobility work, tracking her progress, and appreciating her support system helps her stay grounded and motivated. With a dynamic routine that includes physical and mental preparation, she exemplifies what it means to be a world-class athlete.

1. She’s grateful for the support

She appreciates the support she receives. “Redemption tour complete 😄🌟making this olympic team and bringing home a vault medal was such a big goal of mine. thank you to everyone for all of your love and support. this moment wouldn’t have been possible without you all. always trust the process and believe in the power of your dreams,” she said on Instagram.

2. She performs

She enjoys performing and it keeps her active. “Gold over america tour 2024. it’s hard to say goodbye to this incredible show. this tour has been one of the most special times of my life and i am forever grateful to have had this opportunity. to the amazing people who worked day in and day out to make this show possible, i can’t thank you enough. to the cast, thank you for making every single day so special. so many inspiring people that pushed me to be the best version of myself every single day. this show will always hold a special place in my heart. stay golden,” she said on Instagram.

3. She stays positive

She appreciates all the love, through good times and bad. “All heart 🤍 not the day i was expecting to have but i can’t thank you all enough for the love and support. i am so proud of this team and what we accomplished today. we’re not done yet,” she said on Instagram.

4. She does mobility work

On a video of her working out, she said “dynamic warm ups and mobility work have been essential to my routine. they help prep my body to feel good and be ready to go in the gym.” According to ACE Fitness, “mobility, along with the skills of dynamic balance and coordination, is derived from the coordination of different physiological systems, primarily the central nervous system (CNS) and myofascial systems. Consistent mobility training can improve the communication between the CNS and muscles to enhance an individual’s ability to move with precision, style and grace, while simultaneously improving extensibility and joint ROM.”

5. She looks at her progress

She focuses on her progress. On Instagram, she said “@healingmotionpt helping me to progress my power, speed, strength, and endurance while optimizing my recovery 💪,” on a video of her doing box jumps, lifting weights, and doing pull ups, among other floor exercises.

Track and Field star, Emma Oosterwegel, works hard towards her fitness goals and remains grateful. “Off season has started! I am proud to look back at my completed competitions, even though the year started a bit rough due to medical issues. Thanks to everyone who came all the way to France to cheer for me! And can't forget to thank my coach Ronald, my physio Luc, my doctor Petra and the best teammates @sofiedokter and @anoukvetter for all the hard work and laughter🧡 Also a big thanks to @adidasrunning @starolbv @qandaretail and @atletiekunienl for the support. I am grateful for the journey and the people around me😇 Time to recharge and on to next season,” she said on Instagram. Here’s how she stays healthy, strong, and feeling her best.

1. She lifts weights

Weight lifting is a part of her workout routine to build muscle. Seen in this video on Instagram, captioned “clean pb 🤩 #100kg,” or again here, in a series of clips of her working out and lifting in various ways captioned “Monday weights 🏋‍♀️,” she has incredible form.

2. She’s positive and supportive

Even if she has a setback, she wishes her teammates luck and remains positive. “Unfortunately I wont be able to start the @hypomeeting_goetzis this weekend.

5. She runs

She spends time in nature, running and getting fresh air. On a beautiful video following her running, Emma said “fall run 🍂🍁,” while fitting in some cardio. According to Better Health, “regular running or jogging offers many health benefits. Running can help to build strong bones, as it is a weight bearing exercise, strengthen muscles, improve cardiovascular fitness, [and] burn plenty of kilojoules.”

Keely Hodgkinson, a rising star in track and field, has made waves on the global stage. After winning silver in the 2021 Olympics, she clinched gold in the 800 meter at this year's Olympics, solidifying her status as a top athlete. Before her triumphant performance, Hodgkinson graced the pages of ELLE UK, sharing stunning photos from the shoot on Instagram with the caption, "This was so fun." Curious about how she maintains her peak physical condition? Read on to discover five ways Keely Hodgkinson stays in shape and see the photos that prove her methods work.

1. She Does A Split 800 Meter

Hodgkinson shared her training secrets with Runner’s World. She says that she splits the 800 meter up. “There's a session I do, which is usually the last one I’ll run before a championships. It’s a split 800m, so a 400m, 30 seconds’ rest, then another 400m. The outcome is very accurate in terms of telling you what you’re capable of. When I was at the Tokyo Olympics, I did that session beforehand and I split a 1:55.3, then ended up running 1:55.8. So it’s a really honest reflection of where you’re at.”

2. She Trains 7 Days A Week

Hodgkinson trains 7 days a week. She shared her routine with Runner’s World. “So, it’s cross training on Mondays. On Tuesdays, I’ll do a session on the cross trainer and then I’ll do a track session. Wednesdays involve a 30-minute run and 40 minutes on the cross trainer, plus some gym work. Thursdays are similar to Tuesdays, but with maybe more of a tempo-type session. I always have Fridays off, then Saturdays in the winter will be a longer session and in the summer a track session. Sundays in the winter will be hills, and in the summer I’ll do a 15-minute run.”

3. She Eats A Pre-Race Breakfast

Hodgkinson shared her favorite pre-race breakfast with Runner’s World. “It’s probably one of those questions where nearly every athlete has the same answer, but I’d say porridge – and I always have a cup of tea. Then white toast. I’m usually the athlete who doesn’t have the snacks, although there will often be some granola lying around somewhere.”

4. She Enjoys Eating Healthy

Hodgkinson revealed to Runner’s World that she actually enjoys eating healthy. “I eat pretty well. I’m not really a person who craves takeaways or things like that, because they just don’t make me feel very good. My friends will say, ‘Let’s get a Chinese,’ but I’d rather just eat a chocolate bar, to be honest – that’s my thing. So I eat pretty well, not so much because I have to, but more because I like to. I eat a lot of fruit and vegetables and good carbohydrates, but there will always be a chocolate bar, too. I think I need the calories, to be honest.”

5. She Isn’t Bothered By What Others Think

Hodgkinson isn’t bothered by what others think of her. She told ELLE UK, “You can’t get overly bothered about what everyone else is doing. I think that’s good [to remember] in every aspect of life, whether it’s how you look or what job you have – if you’re just comparing, you’re going to be miserable.”

Tiana Musarra is a model, influencer, and YouTuber. She shares a lot of stunning photos on Instagram. Musarra is celebrating the Paris Olympics. A few weeks ago, she shared some photos on her page of herself modeling the Olympic 2024 collection from Fashion Nova. Musarra posed on the beach and carried a volleyball. She captioned the post, “Me for FN Olympic 2024 collection.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Tiana Musarra stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Does Squats

Musarra shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. In this post, she is seen doing a lower body workout. One thing Musarra is seen doing is squats with a barbell and a weight. She captioned the post, “First day back in 2 weeks. I wanted to share a few exercises we did. went light with it and low impact. Foots goin right into the ice bath now. Road to recovery let’s goooo.”

2. She Uses Weights

Musarra likes to use weights to stay in shape. In the previous Instagram post, she is seen using different weights. Reid Health states that using weights has a lot of mental health benefits. “Strength training not only benefits the body, it also improves mental well-being by reducing stress and anxiety. Strength training helps your brain release naturally occurring ‘feel-good’ chemicals called endorphins improving your mood and decreasing anxiety. In addition strength training can also help increase your confidence and self-esteem which in turn can increase your quality of life.”

3. She Does Hip Thrusts

In the previous Instagram post, Musarra is seen doing hip thrusts with a barbell. Gymless reports that this exercise has a lot of benefits. “Hip thrusts are a controlled and powerful movement, mainly focusing on the glutes, hamstrings, lower back, and core. This exercise is vital for developing a stronger posterior chain, contributing to improved athletic performance, alleviating lower back pain, and enhancing overall physique. Considering that about 65 million Americans experience some form of back pain, hip thrusts are a great exercise to include in your routine.”

4. She Works With A Coach

Musarra likes to work with a fitness coach to help her stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing a session on Instagram. Musarra captioned the post, “First week training with coach @afit_training 💪 working on form, mobility and growth. I always like to push myself to be better. Thank you coach Abe for helping me learn sm already! Full video will be up on my YouTube next week!”

5. She Uses A Stairclimber

In the previous Instagram video, the first thing Musarra is seen doing is using a stair climber. Pinnacle Fitness states that stair climbers are very effective. “Exercising on a stair climber can burn more calories at slower speeds than almost all other forms of exercise. A workout on a stair climber is engaging all the major muscle groups in the glutes, thighs and hamstrings which need a lot of energy to perform. They strengthen the core because you need to keep upright as you perform the exercise. Using stair climbers regularly can cut your risk of death from heart disease. A study showed that when 12 sedentary women were asked to climb a 200-step staircase, progressing from once a day to six times a day, over 2 months they reduced their cholesterol levels and increased their fitness and so cut their risk of heart disease by 33%.”
