Pole Vaulter Katie Moon in Two-Piece Workout Gear is "Awesomeness"

The pro track and field athlete on Team Canada, Robin Bone, is an excellent pole vaulter with a passion for health and fitness. “A little dancey dance for recovery days at the track,” she said on Instagram on a video of her being goofy, doing a little dance. Here’s what Bone does to stay looking and feeling her best.

1. She’s confident

On a video of Robin looking confident and strong, running on the track, she said on Instagram “feelin’ good and ready for fall training camp next week.” She knows the importance of having a positive mind set, in addition to working on building her physical strength.

2. She practices functional strength

On a video of her working out, doing various body movements, she gives followers a look into what she does to stay in shape. “Been spending this fall easing back into things and spending a lot of time on plyos and functional strength… body feels great and happy to be movin’🏃‍♀️,” she said on Instagram.

3. She pushes through

She’s grateful, even during tough times. “Didn’t have my best day on Friday. While disappointed, I am walking away from Trials with so much gratitude. To be healthy again on the runway is a blessing and to my family, friends, coaches and sponsors- thank you! I am eternally thankful and have so much love for each and every one of you who has been a part of this chapter! 🙏🏼❤️🇨🇦,” she said on Instagram.

4. She recognizes progress

She celebrates the progress during her training and workouts. “NEW PR!! 305LBS BABY!!!! Going into this season my goal was to hit 2.5 times my body weight on this explosive exercise… this was 2.54🤪🎉,” she said on a video on Instagram of her lifting weights.

5. She golfs

She has fun practicing other sports and finding ways to stay active. On an Instagram video of her golfing, she said “off-season golf powered by my new @ustmamiyagolf Recoil SmacWrap Shafts ⛳️ 🤗 #teamessx #ustmamiyagolf.” According to Better Health, “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.”

Katie Crewe is sharing a core workout – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post, the trainer shows off her amazing body in a belly-baring set. “How many months or years did you start working out postpartum? I’ve been thinking of sharing a week of 10 min and under daily workouts that are appropriate for postpartum. Drop me a ⭐️ if this would be helpful for you! If you can fit in 20 minutes, or 10 min twice a day, give this a go!” she captioned the Instagram video. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Focus on Building Strength

“My whole view on training and relationship with myself changed when I stopped trying to use my workouts as a way to get smaller and started trying to be more powerful. Your workouts shouldn’t be a way to punish yourself or to “earn” food. Your workout isn’t more successful because you burned the most calories possible. Lift weights to be stronger and more powerful, to feel more confident, and to make your everyday life easier. Lift weights so elderly you thanks you for the strong bones and increased capabilities. It’s a tough but extremely empowering mindset shift that I’m so grateful I made,” Katie wrote in a post.

2. Do a Warm Up Set

Katie recently shared “tips for when you’re short on time but don’t want to compromise on your workout.” One of them is not skipping workouts. “Last time I posted about warm-ups, a surprising number of people said that they do a dynamic warm-up but no warm-up sets (maybe it was only surprising to me). Let me know below what your warm-ups usually look like (please, for research :p),” she says. “If you’re short on time I’d still recommend doing some warm-up sets. I cut down on some of my dynamic warm-up but not much on my warm-up sets because I really need these to acclimate to the weight and feel prepared.”

3. Agonist-Antagonist Paired Sets

She also recommends agonist-antagonist paired sets. “This is the one I will use most frequently when trying to save time. Pairing opposite muscle groups (e.g. hamstring curls and quad extensions) allows one to rest while you’re performing the other exercise. I still usually rest in between but 30 sec-1 min vs 90 sec-2 min. As long as you’re not still puffing from your last set, your strength shouldn’t be compromised,” she wrote.

4. Always Do Something

“The most important tip is that going and doing something, even if it’s 1/3 of what you planned for, is still benefiting you. You still moved your body, it helped you maintain the habit, and it helps get you out of an ‘all or nothing’ mentality when it comes to working out – which can really work against you in the long run,” she added.

5. Her Core Workout

Here is Katie’s full core workout:

🔺360 degree breathing - 2 min

🔺Pull-in pulses - 3x10 pulses, 3 times per set

🔺Side plank pull-ins - 3x10-15

🔺Heel drops - 3x16

🔺Glute bridges with adductor squeeze - 3x15

🔺Bear hovers - 3x10-15

🔺Kneeling to tall kneeling - 3x10-15

Maureen Blanquisco is modeling workout clothes. In a new social media post the IFBB contestant shows off her incredible body in a blue exercise set, driving her followers wild. “To all my baddies out there! This color makes your tan complexion POP,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “So gorgeous 🩷🥰” commented one. “OKKKAAAY SLAAY SLAAY,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Swimming

When Maureen was younger she was a swimmer. “I always loved competing and performing. I usually call it “performing” instead of competing. Swimming was an individual sport. If I wanted to win, it all depended on me. I never liked depending on a team. If we lost because of them, I would get very frustrated,” she told Muscular Development.

2. Gymnastics and Cheerleading

She then moved on to gymnastics and cheerleading. “Cheerleading was fine until one time we fell during a stunt, and it wasn’t my fault. I said, I think I work better alone,” this is when she discovered weights. “I started lifting weights at age 18. That’s around the time you want to look and feel good, putting on makeup. I was doing fitness training anyway, so I started to look for something I could do competitively that fit that. I had always wanted to compete in beauty pageants, but at 5 feet tall I was too short. Then I saw the Bikini Olympia on YouTube, and the woman who stuck out to me the most was India Paulino. She was my first idol! I thought it looked so cool. The women looked amazing, and this was the closest thing to a beauty pageant I could do. I thought I could just go compete in the Olympia. I had no idea you have to turn pro first, then qualify, the whole long process. But in my head, I only had one goal, to go to the Olympia.”

3. Here Is How She Preps for Shows

“I started prepping for the Olympia right after the Boston Pro in March, so that was seven months. It was a very chill prep because I was eating clean, but I was eating more than ever in a prep. I was still dieting, but it was more calories, and I did have one cheat meal a week. Now I see this is the best approach for me: a longer prep but with more food,” Maureen said.

4. Her “Breaks” Involve Cardio

When she does go on vacation, she still exercises. “I did go on vacation to Hawaii with my partner the week after the Olympia. That was on my bucket list. I did cardio every day, but I took five days off from weights. I had a couple of treats, but nothing crazy,” she says.

5. She Doesn’t “Gain Too Much” During the Offseason

Marueen avoids overindulging in the off season. “I have a very clear mindset that if I gain too much, it will be a lot harder for me,” she told Muscle & Fitness. “In Bikini, it’s all about condition, and while you could be ‘too’ hard, you certainly can’t be soft, either.”
