1. She Prioritizes Her Mental Health

Simone puts her mental health before anything else. “As an athlete, you need to protect your mind and your body, rather just go out there and do what the world wants us to do and potentially injuring yourself. I had to put myself above all else,” she told Good Housekeeping in September 2022 about her decision to withdraw from the 2021 Tokyo Olympic Games. “I learned that it’s okay not to be okay. If you don’t do what is right for you, then you're not going to enjoy your sport, and you're not going to succeed as much as you want to in whatever arena you’re competing in.” She added that she has no regrets about the decision. “I’m happy that I prioritized my mental well-being.”

2. Her Diet Is Healthy

Simone maintains a healthy diet that keeps her fueled for her intense workouts. For breakfast she might eat Kellogg's Red Berries or egg whites. Lunch, “is either chicken or fish so I get the protein,” she told Women’s Health. Then she grabs a “quick snack” before another workout. “Pre-workout I love drinking Core Power; it's a recovery drink. And then a banana and peanut butter because bananas have potassium, which helps with muscle cramps.” “And then,” for dinner, “I like having a good fish, like salmon, and rice and carrots.”

3. She Swims and Cycles

Simone also does cross training workouts. “We swam twice a week—almost a mile! I swore I was going to drown, it was so hard, and then we would run. And the year before that we would bike 10 miles outside once a week. If we didn't bike, we would run a mile before practice, and as soon as we finished the mile we'd have to go inside and do a beam routine. My legs were absolute jello. But it got easier because the cross-training helped. This year we haven't done [cross-training] because we're just calming it down,” she told Women’s Health.

4. She Also Does Strength Training

Simone also does a lot of strength training. “I like doing legs because those exercises come pretty easily to me. I have good, powerful legs, so I can do conditioning and they won't be too sore. But stomach conditioning, I don't like it at all! It's my least favorite. I like laughing better for an ab workout than actually doing abs!” she told Women’s Health.

5. She Makes Sure to Stretch

Simone emphasizes the importance of stretching. “We have a routine that includes running and then a stretch for every part of our body. So we'll stretch before practice, but especially afterwards, because then you're tense and you need to stretch those muscles down. It's very important to keep your body flexible so that you don't get injured,” she told Women’s Health. “My favorite stretch is splits because not a lot of people can do them. And over-splits is when you put your leg up on a mat so it's higher—and it just looks cooler!”

I've slowed down a bit and been able to take more time for overall wellness.” To cope during these tough times, "Regular physical activity and exercise can help reduce anxiety and improve mood. Find an activity that includes movement, such as dance or exercise apps. Get outside, such as a nature trail or your own backyard," says the Mayo Clinic. "Choose a well-balanced diet.

Biles makes sure to take care of her skin. She tells POPSugar that she loves the SK-II Facial Treatment Essence. "It makes my skin smoother, softer, and it has this natural glow," she said.

5. She’s Driven

Biles has a lot of motivation. She tells The Zoe Report that gymnastics has given her this mindset. Specifically, the exercises she does when she trains. “We do a lot of sets in the gym and I think that's the only thing that really helps or keeps me going,” she explains. “And I know what my goals are and what I want to achieve, so it’s fairly easy to get in there and make sure the work is done.”

Gymnast Olivia "Livvy" Dunne is channeling that back-to-school feeling in her swimsuit. The LSU and social media superstar just shared a fantastic new image of herself in a black swimsuit prostrated on the back of a boat, with stunning blue waters behind her. “There’s 104 days of summer vacation til school comes along just to end it…” she captioned the picture, quoting “Today Is Gonna Be a Great Day” by the band Bowling for Soup, aka the theme song from the Disney animated series Phineas and Ferb. How does the 20-year-old phenomenon stay in shape? Here’s how.

1. She Dedicated Her Childhood to Training

Despite the photo of Dunne looking like she’s enjoying the dog days of August in some exptiing location, taking in the sun, she has worked incredibly hard her entire life. “I pretty much sacrificed my summers, those pool days, those beach days with their friends. I was in the gym training,” Dunne told the Today Show.

2. She is a Hit on Social Media

Dunne posts photos of herself dancing and sunbathing, which have made her an Internet sensation, both as a talented athlete and as a pin-up queen. “As a woman, you're not responsible for how a man looks at you and object defies you. That's not a woman's responsibility,” Dunne told the Today Show. She did add: “There are some people occasionally that do reach out, and it is a bit concerning….They gave us some new rules for US athletes just to keep us safe, to not go into the stands after meets, and we have a new security person that travels with us.”

3. She Has a Great Support System

“When it comes to what you have on your plate, you've got athletics, you've got class, oh by the way, you have NIL”—that means “name, image, and likeness,” which she can monetize. “How do you go about managing all that?” asked a reporter from On3. “I would say having a good support system is so important,” she answered. “My family, they stand behind me and my mom, she helps me, my sister, she helps put together videos and sends it to the brand while I'm at practice or competing. So she's definitely a huge component in my everyday life and helping me with these brand deals. But having a good support system and compartmentalizing your day so you don't get overwhelmed.”

4. She Swims

Swimming offers a plethora of health benefits for both body and mind. It's a low-impact exercise that enhances cardiovascular fitness, strengthens muscles, and improves flexibility. The buoyancy of water reduces stress on joints, making it suitable for all ages and fitness levels. Regular swimming can aid in weight management, promoting calorie burning and increased metabolism. Moreover, it's an effective full-body workout that engages various muscle groups, enhancing tone and endurance. Beyond physical advantages, swimming also boosts mental well-being through its meditative rhythm and soothing effects. Overall, swimming is a holistic activity that fosters vitality, strength, and a tranquil mind.

5. This is Her Plan to Be Successful After Graduation

“I have one more year of school at LSU and one more year of gymnastics, which is insane to me. So I'm hoping just to have a good last year at LSU. But after school, I would definitely like to have my own brand. Yes, I love working with brands, but I would like to have my own thing, my own product one day. And I'm not sure exactly what that is yet, but I definitely feel like I can do something entrepreneurial, so I would like to have my own product,” she told On3.

Sims loves to give back to others. She tells Jupiter Magazine that she works with the charity Pageant of Hope. “I lost both of my grandfathers to cancer at an early age, and I was raising money for Relay for Life with my grandmother to benefit the American Cancer Society,” says Sims. “Through that organization, I got to work directly with childhood cancer patients and even do hospital visits in Atlanta. I was inspired by that and wanted to spend more time with these amazing kids, some of whom were my age at the time.”

3. She Has A Slower Pace

Sims and her husband, Brooks Koepka, moved from Los Angeles to Jupiter, Florida. And Sims is enjoying the change in lifestyle. “I like the slower pace, especially after living in L.A. for almost nine years,” she says to Jupiter Magazine. “It feels like a vacation here.”

Living in Florida means Sims is surrounded by water. And she takes advantage of it. Sims loves to go to the beach or pool and swim. She has posted several photos on Instagram of herself swimming. Sims posted this photo of herself in the pool, captioning it, “Black velvet, if you please.”

5. She Skis

Both Sims and Koepka love to go skiing. Sims posted this set of photos on Instagram of them skiing in Big Sky, Montana. She captioned the post, “I love you snow much.” "The physical aspect is obvious, however many individuals, especially those that have never skied before, may not realize how much brain power goes into the sport. Skiing is a proprioceptive activity. Proprioception is an aspect of fitness that is defined as one’s ability to feel the position of different body parts and the effort that goes into moving them. This is almost defines skiing because skiing involves quite a bit of balance and coordination. There are so many slight movements and positions of your body that you must be conscious of to ski well. The more you ski the more you strengthen your ability to be aware of the movement of your body parts. This is important because proprioception weakens with age so the more you are involved in proprioceptive activities the less it will diminish," says the University of New Hampshire.
