Aimee Fuller is a highly successful snowboarder, competing in both the 2014 and 2018 Winter Olympics and the Winter X Games. Fuller is dedicated to staying in peak physical shape for her sport. Last week, she posted a video on Instagram showcasing her exercises on a Bosu Ball, which she uses to build strength and balance. She explained in the caption, “Not only does it require mental agility with balance, it takes full body activation and hits all of the stabilizing muscles around the foot and knee joints.” Fuller’s commitment to fitness shows in her routine, which is designed to mimic the unpredictable movements encountered on the slopes.

1. She Uses A Bosu Ball

As you can see in her Instagram video, Fuller likes to use a Bosu Ball to stay in shape. Fitness Advisory states that using a bosu ball has a lot of benefits. “Because the BOSU ball is unstable when it is used dome-side down, users are forced to use more muscles, thereby improving overall strength. The use of this unstable platform works muscles that are usually unused during typical workouts. Routine exercises such as lunges, squats, lifts, and push ups can also be more intense when the ball is used. This result is more challenging workouts. along with more effective strength training.”

2. She Drops Alcohol In The Winter

Fuller shared some of her training secrets in an interview with Women’s Health. “During the winter I drop alcohol,” she revealed. “I get really run down when I drink and I can’t afford to miss a training session or have hungover rest days. The training is so brutal that rest days need to be rest days – recovery is key.”

3. She Meal Preps

Fuller tells Women’s Health that she likes to meal prep in order to eat healthy when training. “I’ve learned that I need to prep a lunch box of clean food, otherwise I don’t have enough energy to get through a savage 4-hour training session,” she explained. “Each day I cram a Tupperwear with quinoa and chicken or tuna and sweet potato. Healthy, starchy carbs keep me going and I’m not fussed about being the one with a packed lunch up the mountain.”

4. She Handles Pressure

In order to compete, Fuller has to handle pressure and stressful situations. She shared how she does so to Women’s Health. “I deal with the pressure by making sure I’m ready for anything. Every day the conditions change (people and snow) and I have to be able to adapt and not let it stress me out. I also find prioritizing chill time away from social media with my boyfriend helps.”

5. She Improved Her Weak Spots

Fuller revealed to Women’s Health that she has learned what her weaknesses are, and how to improve them. “With help from the GB Strength coach, I’ve zoned in on my weaknesses and tailored my training around theses,” she said. “For instance, mobility. I’m not a natural yogi (too slow) but it really helps loosen up my muscles so I can get my body into awkward positions in the air. I now try to include a 20-minute practice on heavy riding days. It’s been great for injury prevention.”

Amanda Balionis is doing Pilates – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the CBS sports journalist does Pilates with Flexia, showing off her amazing body in a two-piece exercise set while she executes the reformer moves. “Beautiful and Extremely Sexy,” commented one of her followers. “Such beautiful control,” added another. And, in a recent Instagram Story, she also does yoga at the San Francisco airport. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

She Golfs

Amanda is an avid golfer. In golf, even if you’ve mastered the swing, you’ll never be satisfied if your mental game is weak, and vice versa. Golf is sneaky demanding of both physical and mental strength,” she told Golf. A comprehensive review published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that golf's health benefits are extensive, including mind, body, and even lifespan. Benefits include improved longevity, decreased risk of developing heart disease or suffering a stroke, good mental health, and improved strength and balance.

She Takes Baths

Amanda enjoys hot water therapy in the form of baths. Why should you consider a soak? Baths have been linked to better sleep and even found helpful to minimize anxiety and depression. One recent study even found that they may even boast cardiovascular benefits.

She Snowboards

In the winter, you can find Amanda snowboarding. “Jackson is a Hole vibe (I’m sorry I’m this way 😂),” she captioned an Instagram post from the slopes. According to the University of Rochester, snowboarding, like skiing, is a great cardiovascular workout. “Because they are also weight-bearing exercises, they strengthen your bones as they tone your muscles,” they say. “Cardiovascular or aerobic exercises also work to reduce your risk for chronic diseases, and lower blood pressure. They also help you maintain a healthy body weight. Through regular aerobic exercise like skiing and snowboarding, you lower your risk of developing conditions like diabetes and heart disease, having a stroke, and perhaps even getting cancer.”

She Lifts Weights

Amanda also strength trains. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

  • Develop strong bones
  • Manage your weight
  • Enhance your quality of life
  • Manage chronic conditions
  • Sharpen your thinking skills

Yoga

Amanda is a yogi. “Through controlled breath and meditative movements, practicing yoga has taught me how to stay calm during difficult situations. About three years after I discovered the practice, I became certified in Baptiste-style training. It was an intense 200-hour journey that transformed my mind because it forced me to sort through my own issues before having the capacity to teach others. I now teach whenever I can, and I continue to practice yoga at least a few times a week—the length of each session ranges from 10 to 90 minutes, depending on how stressed I am that day,” she told Golf. “I’ve reaped more mental benefits from yoga as I’ve become physically stronger, and that’s why golf and yoga are far more similar than people realize.” During her recent travels she even did yoga at the SFO airport.

Pilates

In her recent video Amanda does Pilates. Why is pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic there are lots of benefits to the workout, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Amanda Bisk is offering a new fitness challenge – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the influencer flaunts her incredibly fit figure in a two-piece exercise set while demonstrating some moves. “15min workouts, Pilates & yoga everyday,” she wrote in the caption of the Instagram video. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Stretching

Amanda understands the importance of stretching. “I usually start my day with a stretch or yoga and a few bodyweight exercise's (situps, squats etc), usually between 15-30min depending on how much time I have,” says Amanda. “Flexibility is all about consistency. I stretch everyday. I stretch in the morning for 15-30min (sometimes also in the evening) and before and after I exercise. If you are looking to improve your flexibility, the more you stretch the quicker you will see improvements,” she continues. “I use a combination of stretches I have learnt from gymnastics and athletics and combine this with yoga. In the morning I do a few sun salutations (a sequence in yoga) to warm up my body, then I stretch my legs and hips and do splits, then finish off with shoulders and backbends.” Why should you consider stretching? “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints,” says Harvard Health. “Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”

Running

Amanda is also a runner. “I do an intense workout like a strength session or sprints 3-4 times a week,” she reveals on the blog. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

Balanced Diet

As for diet, she focuses on keeping it balanced. “I have experimented with a few different ways of eating but what works best for me is a varied and balanced approach to food,” Amanda says about her approach to diet. “This includes LOTS of fruit and vegetables, fish, eggs, grains (including breads and pasta), legumes, nuts, dairy and meat. I also believe it is totally ok to enjoy those 'not so healthy' foods (my vice is icecream!). Those hearty meals or cheeky treats are good for the soul! But remember it is about moderation,” she says. “My meals usually consist of majority vegetables (full of vitamins and minerals), a portion of carbs (to fuel my muscles and brain) and protein (to build a strong body and keep me full). I choose mostly vegetarian options (a big influence from my mum, who is fully vegetarian) but I do eat meat when I feel like it.”

Tennis, Biking, basketball, Etc

Amanda maintains an active lifestyle. If she isn’t at the gym she will be doing “something different like tennis, bike riding, basketball, walking with a friend or going to a local pilates or air yoga class,” she writes on the blog.

Daily Exercise

Amanda works out daily. “I am a big fan of mixing up the type of exercise and fitness I do, so from week to week my exercise routine changes alot,” she revealed on her blog. “All up, I aim to move my body for an hour each day.” She takes a rest day, “where I might only stretch and do a walk. If I feel run down or overtrained I make sure I take a day off. Its all about listening to your body.” How often should you workout? Physical activity is anything that gets your body moving. According to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity each week.

Aimee Teegarden is a very successful actress. She first became known for her role on Friday Night Lights. She is currently known for her work in several Hallmark movies, including Heart of The Matter, My Christmas Family Tree, Christmas Class Reunion, and A New Year’s Resolution. Last summer, Teegarden shared a video on Instagram of herself swimming in a waterfall. She captioned the post, “Summer adventures.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Aimee Teegarden stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Weight Trains

Teegarden shared some of her favorite workouts with Us Weekly. One thing she likes to do is strength train. The American Cancer Society states, “As you gain muscle, your body begins to burn calories more easily, making it easier to control your weight. Strengthening exercises can increase flexibility and balance as people age, reducing falls and injuries.”

2. She Does Plyometric Training

Teegarden tells Us Weekly that she likes to do plyometric training. NASM states that plyometric training has a lot of benefits. “Of the many benefits of plyometric training, some of the more recognized are: increased vertical jump height, increased long jump distance. Increased strength, improved running speed, agility, and quickness, injury reduction, improved throwing, hitting, striking velocity.”

3. She Surfs

Beautiful,Sexy,Surfer,Girl,On,The,Beach,At,SunsetShutterstock

Teegarden revealed to Us Weekly that she likes to surf. Surfing England states that the sport has a lot of benefits. “Firstly, learning to surf is a great way to improve your cardiovascular health. Pushing your way out through the waves, and then paddling with an explosion of power to catch them, and then repeating this over and over requires a lot of energy, endurance, and persistence. Regular surfing can help to strengthen your heart and lungs, leading to improved overall fitness. Now, combine that with the fact that surfing is a low-impact exercise (when you are just starting out anyway) meaning that it is gentle on your joints and can be a great way to stay active without putting too much strain on your body.”

4. She Does Cardio

Teegarden tells Us Weekly that she makes sure to do cardio exercises. The Cleveland Clinic states that this has a lot of benefits. “‘When part of an overall heart-healthy lifestyle, not only can regular cardio exercise lead to a decrease in your resting blood pressure and heart rate, but these basic changes can also mean your heart doesn’t have to work unnecessarily hard all of the time, says clinical exercise physiologist Erik Van Iterson, PhD, MS.’ Maintaining a good cardio routine also helps improve good cholesterol levels while lowering blood fats.”

She Swims

As you can see from her Instagram post, Teegarden loves to swim to stay fit. Better Health states that swimming is a great way to stay in shape. “Swimming is a good all-round activity because it: keeps your heart rate up but takes some of the impact stress off your body, builds endurance, muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness, helps you maintain a healthy weight, healthy heart and lungs, tones muscles and builds strength, provides an all-over body workout, as nearly all of your muscles are used during swimming.”

Arielle Loewen is walking on her hands – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the CrossFit athlete shows off her strength and amazingly fit figure in a two-piece exercise set during a competition. “Defying gravity,” she captioned the Instagram photo. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Balancing Family Life with the Gym

“I think I’m able to balance it pretty easily because I approach training differently than most CrossFit athletes. I’ve learned that, for me, less is more when it comes to being in the gym, so I have a few hours of high intensity training, and then plenty of family time,” Arielle told The Barbell Spin. “I am in the gym from about 11 AM – 1:30 PM, and then sometimes back for an evening session after my daughter goes to sleep. I train around her schedule and am able to make breakfast and spend time with her in the morning, and then we get to enjoy the afternoon and evening together. If I need to take her to gymnastics, dance lessons or to the park, I can, because I’ve gotten my workout done.”

Macros

Arielle counts macros using MyFitnessPal. Her main focus? Consuming enough protein. “Here's a look inside what I eat in a day as a full-time mom & CrossFit athlete! I love when I hit my protein goal! I weight around 150lbs & my goal is to get 150g of protein a day!@myfitnesspalmakes it easy to see exactly how much protein I'm consuming a day 🥩🍗,” she captioned a post.

Cycling

Like most CrossFit athletes, Arielle spends a great deal of time cycling. Here she is on the airbike. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.

Hiking

Arielle enjoys outdoor exercise. Here she is hiking in Scotland. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health

Decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems.

Training While Pregnant

Arielle didn’t let her pregnancy keep her from CrossFit. While she “scaled down her training significantly” she did a noon class four to five days a week. She also focused on eating “a good meal,” such as meat, potatoes, and veggies, throughout her pregnancy. As her pregnancy progressed she reduced intensity. “CrossFit was definitely good for my physical health, but also my mental health,” Loewen said. “Everything about my body was changing. But the one thing I knew was showing up to the noon class and doing the class workout was my mental escape,” she told CrossFit.

Leonie Hanne is living her best life in Thailand – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the German model flaunts her fantastic figure in a $750 Missoni bathing suit while enjoying a boating day in the tropics. “She dreamed of a tropical adventure 🦋,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Stunning,” commented one of her followers. ”So beautiful,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Coffee

Leonie enjoys the perks of caffeine. In one of her posts from Thailand, she drinks a cup of coffee at the poolside. According to the Cleveland Clinic, drinking coffee in moderation has several benefits. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

Pilates

Leonie does Pilates at the super exclusive London studio Pilates in the Clouds. Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress, and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

At-Home Workouts

Leonie tries to get a workout in daily, preferably in the morning. I still try to get up early to maintain a sense of routine. I start every day with a quick at-home workout and a homemade acai bowl, before starting work on emails and content creation. I’ve been getting really into TikTok lately, it’s funny and keeps me feeling energised!” she told Arcadia.

Community

It takes a village, according to Leonie. “Community is key! The people you surround yourself with are more important than ever, as we are all trying to find ways to stay connected without being physically present. Speaking to people either on the phone or through social media can shift your mindset and motivation more than ever before,” she says.

Small, Healthy Habits

Leonie focuses on maintaining small, healthy habits. “Do something every day that brings you joy. Even if that means having something small to look forward to, like having your favourite snacks around the house or changing into an outfit that makes you feel good about yourself,” she says.

Sophie Piper is embracing island life – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post, the Love Island beauty shows off her fantastic figure in a swimsuit during a tropical vacation at Kandima Maldives with Josh Ritchie. “Island life,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps taken at the picturesque resort. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

She Doesn't Go Under the Knife

Sophie claims she hasn’t gone under the knife. “It’s your own body, you can do what you want to,” she told Grazia, weighing in on the show’s reputation for girls getting work done. “I wouldn’t have surgery myself; I don’t want it. I’ve got such a low pain tolerance as well; I’d be squirming around.”

She Gets Her Steps In

Stand Up Paddle Boarding

Sophie loves paddle boarding. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and cardio. Water sports can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140-pound male and 436 calories for a female of the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.

She Skis

When Sophie hits the mountains, she throws on a pair of skis. “Ski club,” she captioned a photo. Research has linked downhill skiing to several health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease the risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, the prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress, and the occurrence of memory deficits decline.

She Loves Group Fitness

“You’ve got to be body confident,” Sophie told Grazia. One of her favorite sweat methods? Group fitness. “A few gym classes can’t hurt,” she said.

She Goes Snorkeling

On her recent Maldives vacation, Sophie and Josh snorkeled in the crystal clear water. Surprisingly, putting on a snorkel and fins and swimming through the water is a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.

Tammy Hembrow is a fitness influencer and expert. She has her own app, called Tammy Fit. Hembrow has a lot of challenges on her app. Recently, she advertised a challenge with a workout video on Instagram. Hembrow captioned the post, “We are 3 days into our first @tammyfitapp challenge of the year & I am more motivated than everrrrr. (Sign ups are still open if you haven’t joined yet - there’s still time to catch up!! - link in bio). Soooo happy seeing so many of my girlies (and guys) in this challenge doing it with me!! And I CANNOT wait to see everyone’s results at the end of the 8 weeks. We got thissss 💪🏼”

She Does Pulldowns

Hembrow is seen doing pulldowns in her Instagram video. Piedmont reports that pulldowns have a lot of benefits. “The lat pulldown is a fantastic exercise for strengthening the latissimus dorsi muscle, the broadest muscle in your back. This muscle promotes good posture and spinal stability. Form is crucial when performing a lat pulldown to prevent injury and reap the best results.”

She Lifts Weights

Hembrow is seen doing a lot of exercises with weights in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness states that using weights to workout has a lot of benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

She Tracks Her Meals

Hembrow likes to track her meals on her app. She talked about the benefits of this in the caption of this “What I Eat In A Day” Instagram video. “Make sure to take advantage of the calorie/macro tracking features in the @tammyfitapp during this challenge guys. It can be really helpful in reaching specific goals quicker. And it also can help educate you on your food choices when it comes to nutrition, ratios, hidden calories, overeating or under eating etc. honestly I’d recommend any beginner try it out just to get a good feel for how you’re fuelling your body!! I feel like when people think of ‘meal tracking’ it can be seen as something that seems restrictive or something only bodybuilders do. When in reality it can be such a helpful tool and you can learn things that will actually encourage long term habits 🫶🏼🫶🏼”
