Rally Driver Catie Munnings in Two-Piece Workout Gear is "Paragliding"

Catie Munnings, a professional rally driver and winner of the 2016 European Rally Championships for women, brings passion and determination to every race. Competing in Extreme E events, she also finds time to explore adventures off the track. In October, she shared a video on Instagram of herself paragliding at the GoPro Base Camp, showcasing her love for pushing limits and staying active.

1. She Stays Centered

Munnings shared how she stays centered in an interview with Brummel Magazine. “I always stay grateful for how much I’ve got and focus on that, even if others around me seem to have more. As for resilience – I have a really good support network, I rely on my family a lot. Maintaining a good, stable mindset is also important. Having a grounded place means you don’t take every decision that’s made around you personally. Because it is business at the end of the day.”

2. She Wants To Promote Female Races

Munnings tells Tempus Magazine that she wants the racing world to be more inclusive to women. “I think championships like Extreme E having a regulation that each team should have a male and a female, and a combined overall result for the team really increases the level that the females are racing at because it provides more opportunities and more incentives for teams to train and support females developing in Motorsport. We’ve seen the level of talent rise a lot from the first season until now. There was a bit of a gap between the males and females at the start of Season 1, and now we regularly have race winners that are females over the men which is awesome to see.”

3. She Supports The Environment

Munnings wants to support the environment. In the caption of this Instagram video, she talked about protecting coral reefs. “@carlosduartephd has a massive project to grow and replant the coral reef in the Red Sea at the university of KAUST, each year it has to adapt to higher temperatures. We visited shark reef to see them at work. 1 in 4 marine animal relies on the reef, and 1 billion people around the world depend on the reef for livelihood. Amazing to see the work the marine biologists are doing to protect it 🫶🏼🌍”

4. She Swims

Munnings likes to swim to keep herself in shape. In the previous Instagram link, Munnings is seen snorkeling. The Cleveland Clinic states that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Swimming isn’t just good exercise, it’s great exercise. That’s thanks to the water itself, which offers buoyancy and resistance that makes it easier on your whole body than other forms of exercise.”

5. She Hikes

Munnings also enjoys going for hikes to keep herself in shape. She shared this photo on Instagram of herself on a mountain with her dog. Hiking has a lot of benefits. Harvard Health states that, “Like brisk walking, hiking is a good way to improve your cardiovascular fitness, particularly if your route includes some hills, which will force your heart to work harder. Taking a hike on the slightly uneven surface of a trail also provides a natural way to engage the core muscles in your torso and to hone your balance skills.”

Mel Reid is celebrating on the green in her workout gear. The golf star recently shared a moment with fellow golfer Celine Boutier after she clinched a win against Lexi Thompson during the 2024 Solheim Cup. Dressed in white shorts and a star-spangled top, Reid, known as one of the fittest golfers in the world, stays in shape through a combination of challenging workouts and balanced priorities. From intense gym sessions to goat yoga, Reid has embraced a holistic approach to fitness and personal well-being. Here’s how she keeps her body and mind sharp while navigating her professional and personal life.

Reid shows off her impressive gym skills in a video for Golf Magazine. Her trainer, Macdonald, was also on hand to explain her intense workout regime. “It’s a 15-minute density set, which means we’re going to do five exercises in a circuit fashion.” Each exercise is done in about one minute.‘What we’re trying to do is get some strength and power but in an endurance fashion,” Macdonald said.

3. She Does Goat Yoga

Goat Yoga has become increasingly popular over the last few years, and Reid has tried out the hot fitness craze in a post captioned “In the presence of greatness. G.O.A.T.” Reid has a goat on her back and is in a yoga pose. According to Arizona Goat Yoga, the out-of-the-ordinary workout has several benefits, including stress release, increased mindfulness, mood enhancement, and a connection to nature and animals.

4. She Has a Strong Communtiy

Reid often travels for work with her wife and their baby, which is challenging, but she explained how they make it work in an interview with LPGA.“The people that have been very welcoming and open to staying with us have made a huge difference,” Mel said. “It gives us a little bit of a break at the end of the day because they want to just hang out with Kai, as well. He is starting to recognize faces. He sees Emily (Kristine Pedersen), and he sees Carlota (Ciganda), and he sees Olly (Brett), and he gravitates to them. I think that's a cool experience, not just for us but for them as well.”

5. Learning Balance and New Priorites

Reid shifted her focus to motherhood when their son was born, and golf is no longer the top priority. “Golf is secondary, if not third, now to be honest with you,” Mel explained in the LPGA interview. “I've always played golf for myself and tried to prove to myself that I can do this. The competitiveness inside of me, it's almost taken that away a little bit. I can have a bad day, and it sucks, but it doesn't suck anywhere near as much as it used to. I have to find that little fire in me again to see what my purpose is on the golf course. That's probably been the biggest challenge for me this year.”

Pippa Mann is best known for being an IndyCar driver. She is also an advocate for other female IndyCar drivers. Mann shared a set of biking photos on Instagram on March 31. In them, she rode to pick up ice cream. Mann captioned the post, “Beautiful weather today in Indy. Took myself on a little Easter Sunday bike ride for some ice cream!” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Pippa Mann stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Car Races

Racing is the main way Mann stays in shape. She talked about driving to TopGear.com. “The simple physics and dynamics are: you are going incredibly fast between two concrete walls. One on the outside, one on the inside. If something goes wrong at those speeds… it's going to be ugly. When you're on the outside looking in, it looks more dangerous. When you are racing it, you are just a racing driver. It's just another race track, it's just another race car.”

2. She Supports Other Female Drivers

Mann is known for supporting female drivers. She has a foundation, Shift Up Now, that serves that purpose. “It's about trying to foster this sense of community, these groups of women who are supporting each other while they're racing,” says Mann to TopGear.com. “A lot of the women we work with are pretty fed up of that feeling of being by themselves, and understand the idea that ‘if everybody's rising, that helps me too.’ With Shift Up Now, we're trying to create our own halo effect where we help the people who are most like us really get somewhere. It's kind of a statistics game. But you have to have more of those opportunities to start building.”

3. She’s Tough

Mann talked about her career in an interview with Females In Motorsport. She says that she has a very thick skin. “For a female of any age coming into motorsport, you do have to understand that you are walking into what still is in general a boy’s playground,” she said. “You have to be able to ignore a certain level of noise and be prepared to work harder to get the same level of recognition. There will always be people trying to tear you down, but there will be people out there who want to help you succeed, and who want to help you get there, those are the people you want to pay attention to, and align with. But, for the rest of it, you’ll have to grow pretty thick skin.”

4. She’s Driven

Mann has a strong desire to succeed. “The drive to succeed comes from my mother,” she told Females in Motorsport. “She’s a strong business woman, and I’ve definitely inherited her no-nonsense, get things done attitude and determination. Beyond that, it comes from deep inside me personally. I always want to do better, to run better, to put up a better result.”

5. She Bikes

In her recent Instagram post, Mann is seen biking. A Healthier Michigan states that biking has a lot of benefits. “Cycling is considered a low-impact exercise because even though it’s a form of cardio and can help you work up a sweat pretty fast, it is done with easy movements that are gentle on your legs, arms and joints.”

Madeline Sturt, a seasoned CrossFit competitor known for her dynamic workouts and engaging social media presence, recently thrilled her followers with a workout video set to Cher’s hit "If I Could Turn Back Time." Known for her rigorous training routine, Sturt showcased her skills on gymnastic rings, demonstrating the high level of fitness and dedication required in her sport. In her Instagram post, she playfully challenged her audience’s taste in music, suggesting that anyone who didn’t find the song a 'banger' was simply lying to themselves. This blend of humor and hardcore fitness exemplifies Sturt’s approach to training—intense yet accessible, inviting her audience to both admire her athleticism and join her in a shared love for classic tunes and tough workouts.

1. She Jumps Rope

Sturt shared some of her favorite workouts in this Instagram post. She captioned it, “Saturday burner.” In the first video, Sturt is seen jumping rope. The Cleveland Clinic states, “Jumping rope can be a good form of cardio, which increases your heart rate and can help decrease your risk of cardiovascular disease…And when you increase your heart rate, you also burn more calories. So, how many calories does jumping rope burn? While it depends on your pace, on average, someone may burn about 100 calories jumping rope for 10 minutes.”

2. She Lifts Weights

In the previous Instagram post, Sturt is seen lifting a barbell. ACE Fitness states that lifting weights has a lot of benefits. “Using heavy weights increases intramuscular coordination, the number of type II motor units and the amount of muscle fibers engaged within a specific muscle. Have you ever felt your muscles shaking while lifting heavy weights? This is because you are recruiting and activating the larger type II muscle fibers, which are only stimulated to work when a muscle is challenged with heavy resistance or working to fatigue.”

3. She Climbs

Sturt is seen climbing a wall in the previous Instagram post. Climbing of all kinds has a lot of benefits. All Climbers states, “Climbing is an endlessly variable series of movements. No climbing surface or route is quite like another, so the work you ask your muscles to perform during a climb changes each time you exercise. This ensures you’re training a greater number of muscles. Research suggests this kind of dynamic muscle activation is much more challenging than simple, repetitive movements.”

4. She Runs

Sturt shared this video on Instagram of herself running on a treadmill. FloTrack states that running has a lot of benefits. “Running releases endorphins, which then trigger a positive feeling in your body. The chemicals released after any exercise improve your mood and decrease anxiety and stress. You get a boost of energy and self-esteem and your sleep also improves. Running can set into motion a continuous cycle of improving different facets of your mental health.”

5. She Uses A Stationary Bike

In the first photo in this Instagram post, Sturt is seen on a stationary bike. Penn State PRO Wellness states that doing this has a lot of benefits. “A stationary bike workout is a low-impact workout that uses smooth movements to strengthen bones and joints without putting much pressure on them. This makes it a good workout option for people with joint issues or injuries.”

Hailie Deegan, a trailblazing NASCAR stock car racer, continues to break barriers and stay in top physical shape. As the first female racer to win a West Series race in 2018 and 2019, she constantly hones her skills on and off the track. Last month, she shared photos from a practice session on Instagram, captioning them, “It’s been awhile since I’ve raced a @canamoffroad but It’s time to get back in at @nitrocross with @yokohamatire 🙌. Practice day today so here we go! @monsterenergy.”

1. She Races

Racing is one of the main ways Deegan stays in shape. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself on the track. Deegan posted this video of herself driving. She captioned it, “Practice ✅ This @vivaseltzer @fordperformance car was feeling pretty good in practice. Made some good changes headed into qualifying in the morning! @monsterenergy.”

2. She Hikes

Deegan spends a lot of time outside. One thing she likes to do is go for hikes. Deegan shared these photos on Instagram of herself hiking in Moab, Utah. Piedmont states that hiking has a lot of benefits. “Hiking is a weight-bearing exercise that builds muscle mass and helps prevent osteoporosis. Hiking can help you manage your weight. It is a joint-friendly form of exercise that can keep arthritis sufferers more limber and mobile.”

3. She Cooks

Since she’s a professional athlete, Deegan has to eat healthy. One way she does so is by cooking. Deegan shared this video on Instagram of herself doing a cooking demonstration. Harvard Health states that cooking has a lot of health benefits. “The more people cook at home, the healthier their diet, the fewer calories they consume, and the less likely they are to be obese or develop type 2 diabetes. A growing body of scientific evidence supports teaching patients how to cook meals at home as an effective medical intervention for improving diet quality, weight loss, and diabetes prevention.”

4. She Uses An Elliptical

Deegan makes sure to workout on a regular basis. One way she does so is by using the elliptical. She shared this video on Instagram of herself using one at her house. Deegan captioned the post, “If you hate leaving your kid at home, but still want to get a good workout in, look no further 😂. With the new @nordictrack elliptical with @ifit technology you can get the best of both worlds.”

5. She Snowboards

"Both skiing and snowboarding demand a high level of physical engagement, making them excellent full-body workouts. Skiing engages various muscle groups such as the core, quadriceps, hamstrings, and calf muscles, promoting strength, endurance, and flexibility. Snowboarding, with its emphasis on balance and coordination, activates the core, legs, and upper body muscles," says Physio Fitness.
