Rhea Ripley is showing off her guns – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the WWE fighter flexes while wearing a sports bra and sweats, her washboard abs on display. “you’re unreal,” commented one of her followers. “🔥🔥🔥,” added Carmella. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
She Does Her Best
While training for WrestleMania, Rhea gives it her all. “When it comes to Mania season, it's an 'I'm trying my best' approach. There's less time to go to the gym with all the media and shows, and a lot of travelling, especially being on Raw and SmackDown at the moment,” she told GQ.
Self-Care and Rest
Rhea stresses the importance of self-care and rest. “It's a very intense job and environment. It can be quite stressful, because there are a lot of things that are needed from you; a lot of things that people don't understand we do and go through,” she told GQ. “It's important to have those moments of free time when you can turn your brain off, whether it's at the gym, watching a movie, or just spending time with friends and family – anything you can do to put yourself at ease and make yourself feel like a normal human for a couple of hours!”
Hydration

According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.
Meal Prep
Rhea controls her diet with a meal delivery service. “I get meals sent to me every Sunday by a meal-prep company with the macros I want. I definitely don't eat as much as I should – I don't know how I have as much muscle as I do, because sometimes I don't eat. I did legs the other day, burnt 2,500 active calories, and I only ate 8-900 calories that day,” she says. “I definitely fluctuate with my eating habits. It's not good, especially in the profession that I'm in. I need to be eating more just to save my body, but sometimes you're just so busy that you don't.”
Strength Training and Cardio
“Normally, when I go to the gym, I do 20 minutes of cardio, then lift weights for two and a half, sometimes three hours – it really depends on what I want to do. It's my happy place, so I like to spend time there – it's the one place I get to turn my brain off. At the moment, I still get in to do cardio and I'm weight training at least six days a week, but today I only did back [training] for an hour. It definitely isn't my preference, but you just have to go in and hustle, because when it comes to WrestleMania, you want to be as fit and look as good as you can,” she told GQ. “For me, it's about staying ready, so then if you need to maintain for a day or two, you can. At the end of the day, you will have a day off where you can just go completely ham.”
