The Hungarian taekwondo athlete and gold medal winner Luana Márton knows what it takes to stay in great shape. Luana Márton reposted a video on Instagram from Viviana Márton captioned, “getting ready for action ⚡️🦁❤️‍🔥@hankuktkd @kpnp_hq #hankukstyle #martontwins #goldentwins #tkd,” having a little fun with their prep work. Here’s what Luana does to stay in incredible shape.


1. She celebrates her wins

She’s proud of herself and grateful for how far she’s come. “This is a dream come true, “my dream”. I am super happy to have achieved this medal that is part of the work that the whole team does every day.@hankuktkdI feel very fortunate to have my coaches close by.@j.ramal, @suvihankuk,@saulrfand@alvaroriosfabra, to our physical trainer@acarexercise, for taking care of my health to my physiotherapists @fisio_mariamanri, @kokslucarelliand @nacho_cancelaAnd to my nutritionist Daniel. Thank you for everything! I will never stop thanking my parents and my entire family for their support in guiding me on the right path and being able to achieve my dreams! I trust and believe in all the effort and confidence that they give me so that this is just the beginning, we continue forward…🚀🦾🔥❤️,” she said on Instagram (translated).

2. She’s motivated

In photos of her looking strong and happy, she said “good trainings🚀🔥💣 Letsss goooo!!!!🤪🌟💪#gotoparis #hankuk #hajramagyarok #hajralilák,” (translated) on Instagram. According to Health Direct, there are a few things you can do to stay motivated, including staying consistent. “Keep the momentum up. It takes most people about 2 months to develop a new habit, but for some people, it can take much longer. Keeping the momentum and routine helps it feel more automatic over time.”

3. She lifts weights

She works on her strength, focusing on weightlifting. “Another weightlifting session in @hankuktkd This time we were able to see in action@adrianasandia_ @luanamartonkiss @vivianamartonkissand@_laurdguezz in a training focused on speed of execution. After the activation work proposed by@j.ramal, they started with a technical review of the snatch and then hanging power snatch work,” she reposted from @liftermedia on Instagram (translated).

4. She puts in the work

She really brings it during her workouts and training, putting in the necessary work. On a video of her training, she said “Let's go!!!🔥 focused on the next objectives🔝😤🤪,” on Instagram (translated). According to the Mayo Clinic, “your body fat percentage will increase over time if you don't do anything to replace the lean muscle you lose over time. Strength training can help you preserve and enhance your muscle mass at any age.”

5. She eats healthy

In this video on Instagram, Luana shows that she makes healthy choices involving plenty of greens, protein, and healthy carbs throughout her daily routine, in between her training and workouts. When it comes to the benefits of healthy eating, the CDC shares some of the positive outcomes. “Among the benefits are stronger bones, enhanced immunity, and lower risk of some diseases.”

Bellator Flyweight World Champ Juliana Velasquez is "Fire"

Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Juliana Velasquez is packing a punch – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the Bellator Flyweight World Champion shows off her amazingly fit figure in a two-piece exercise set while throwing punches during a training session. Her followers went wild over the video, with many of them commenting with fire emojis. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Espresso

Juliana enjoys the perks of coffee. Here she is taking a shot of espresso. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. “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.

Treadmill

Juliana runs on the treadmill. 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.

Airbike and Bike

She also trains on an airbike and also a spin bike. 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.

Stretching

At the beginning and end of her exercise sessions Juliana makes sure to stretch. “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.”

Boxing

Boxing and kickboxing are Juliana’s main workouts. Harvard Health maintains that boxing is a great way to build strength, improve balance, posture, hand-eye coordination, boost mood and endurance, and helps increase alertness.

Tatiana Suarez is training hard in her workout gear. In a new social media post the UFC fighter shows off her super strong body in a two-piece set during a Sin City sweat session. “Two grappling sessions this Monday! Training to be the best every day! Let’s go 👊🏼🤼‍♀️,” she captioned the Instagram video and photo. “Champ,” commented one of her followers, while several others added fire emojis. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


1. People Tried to Talk Her Out of Wrestling

Tatiana felt pressured to stay away from wrestling as a kid."I was three years old when I started wrestling, and my whole life, people told me I shouldn't," she told Women's Health. "I would wrestle with their sons, and they'd be like, 'You're so cute. You should probably go do tennis.' And I'm like, 'I think tennis is great, but I'm wrestling, and I just beat your son. So maybe he should go do a different sport, not me.'"

2. Neck Injury and Cancer Treatment

Thyroid,Cancer,Word,Alphabet,Letters,On,Puzzle.,Healthcare,And,MedicalShutterstock

In 2011 Tatiana suffered a neck injury and while being treated, doctors discovered a cancerous tumor on her thyroid. She took a day-by-day approach to recovery. "I had to keep my diet a certain way, and I had to do certain exercises for my neck every day, and they were so tedious and boring," says Tatiana. "Not only that, but I couldn't do what I love, which is to go live and do my sport." Focusing on what she could control and letting go of what she couldn't helped her get through it all. "It's always easier said than done," she says. "But it's a constant battle."

3. Proper Nutrition

She also focused on adding lean muscle while staying light enough to transition to 115 pounds (the strawweight division) when it was time to compete again. "I ate a lot of high-protein foods and healthy fats like olive oil on salad, chicken, steak, eggs, and avocado," she says. "I also incorporated fish oil, creatine for when I spar, and Thorne's Curcumin Phytosome, which helps a lot with my inflammation." She avoids sugar and processed foods.

4. Jiu Jitsu and Boxing

"I'm a great wrestler, I know I'm great at jujitsu, I'm great at kicking," Tatiana says. "So right now, I've been focusing a lot on boxing because I know that it's probably my weakest thing. It's also given me a newfound respect for boxers."

5. Training 7 Days a Week

Tatiana trains seven days a week. Her workouts include cardio, strength training, jujitsu, and physical therapy. "I can't wrestle yet. I drill it, but I can't bend my knee all the way," says Tatiana. "When I'm in [training] camp, there's not so much emphasis on cardio just because I do cardio throughout my workouts.”

We've consulted with our team of licensed nutritionists and dietitians to bring you informed recommendations for food products, health aids and nutritional goods to safely and successfully guide you toward making better diet and nutrition choices. We strive to only recommend products that adhere to our philosophy of eating better while still enjoying what you eat.

Angela Lee is breaking a sweat – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the MMA star shows off her fit figure in a two-piece exercise set during a strength training workout. “For me, working out and moving my body is the ultimate de-stressor 🏋🏻♀️ I know that I will be able to show up with more kindness, patience and empathy for Ava if I do the things I need to do to take care of myself first 🫶🏼Moms, Dads, Parents, People… We can't care for others if we don't care for ourselves first ☝🏼 Let's make wellness a priority! 💛,” 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.

Complex Carbs

Lee eats carbs, but the right kind: “Switch your diet from simple carbs to complex carbs, and eat more carbohydrates in the morning so that you have energy to fuel you throughout the day,” she tells OneFC about her diet advice.

Protein

Angela prioritizes protein, but tries to fuel up on whole foods versus powders and supplements. “Protein powder is a great nutritional supplement,” she tells OneFC. “But remember to include natural protein such as chicken breast, fish, beef, and tofu in your diet as well.”

Smoothies

Angela also enjoys smoothies. She packs hers with a lot of produce. “If you are not a big fan of eating vegetables, fruit and vegetable smoothies are a great way to get your greens in,” she says.

Eat Bigger Meals Earlier in the Day

Lee recommends eating bigger meals earlier in the day. “Just eat less at night. It is actually healthier to have a big breakfast, moderate lunch, and a small dinner. This method will help you shed those extra pounds and get rid of fat,” she claims.

Her Favorite Exercises

In another interview with OneFC Angela reveals a few of her favorite exercises, starting with air squats. “It is good to practice your form, and it is an effective, easy workout,” she states. “Also, you can change the range if you want to go deeper, or if you want to go ‘sumo squat’ style,” she says. She also loves push-ups, “great for everyone to do daily, because it builds your shoulder muscles and tightens your core, as well as many other benefits,” Lee says. “Also, there are a lot of different kinds of push-ups you can do, like speed push-ups and triangle pyramid push-ups. You can change it up. There are a lot of different options.” And, she also does burpees. “It is a full body range of motion, and a great way to get your heart-rate up pretty quick,” Lee says.

Kaisa Keranen is getting her body ready for martial arts – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the fitness trainer shows off her moves, wearing an all-black exercise outfit. “Jiu jitsu prep,” she captioned the Instagram clip. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Her Relationship with Exercise Goes Through “Seasons”

Kaisa adapts her approach to exercise regularly. “Just like my life, my body and my relationship to movement go through seasons,” she told Thorne. “I’m currently in an intense season in my personal life, so my movement is an outlet for me. Workouts are intense because I need a space to be intense and to get that out.”

She Works Out Smart

Kaisa focuses on working out "smart" – not hard. "I want to be moving and feeling good in my body when I’m 85 years old, so these days I try to remember it’s all about smart movement that is sustainable and that my body feels good doing,” she says.

Her Top Tip with Exercise? Just Start

The phrase 'Just Start' illuminated on a wooden background.​Her Top Tip with Exercise? Just Start!Shutterstock

What is her top tip when it comes to fitness? “My number one tip is to just start,” she says. “No matter who you are or where you are – just start! A daily movement habit will absolutely change your life – even just five minutes a day. So remember that anything is better than nothing.”

She works Out Daily

Kaisa exercises seven times a week. Four of the days she works out with a trainer, one day she films workouts, and one or two times a week she does mobility-related recovery exercises. Generally she sticks to strength training, power work, and agility. Her least favorite? Aerobic conditioning. 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

Food As fuel

Kaisa views food as fuel for performance. “I am the queen of leftovers and could eat the same thing for an entire week straight,” she says. “Although I love food, I see it much more as fuel than something that needs to constantly vary or taste great.”

For Hewitt, fitness is all about variety. “I try to switch it up a bit,” she told OK! Magazine. “I’ve found that if every week I do something different it tricks my muscles into not getting used to doing any one thing. I’ve been doing pilates, I’ve been doing yoga, I’ve done just plain old walking. I wear 10 pound weights on my ankles while I’m working just so that as I’m moving during the day I’m constantly building muscle. It’s not great for your back but I’m doing it anyway. I do a booty workout thing that I just did for Shape, which was really fun. And I do Zumba. I have DVDs and I dance around like a crazy person in my house.”

She Builds Confidence

Hewitt tells People that she wants to build her confidence up. “I think I’m a work in progress,” she admits. “[But] I feel it’s so much better than [it was] a year-and-a-half ago, and I feel like in another eight months, it’s going to be so much better than it is today.”

Over the past few years, Sydney Sweeney has become one of America’s sweethearts with celebrated roles in everything from hit HBO shows Euphoria and White Lotus to big-screen movies Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Anyone But You. In addition to her impressive acting ability, the star is a total bombshell and has one of the fittest figures in Hollywood. Here are the top 5 habits that help her stay fit at 27.

Water Skiing

Sydney has been water skiing since she was a toddler. “The moment I could walk, my mom put me on what’s called a U-board to learn how to ski,” she told Women’s Health. “I remember that whenever we would go by the docks of my grandma’s or my cousin’s house, I’d wave. I felt so cool because I could take off one hand. That’s my earliest memory of skiing, but I’ve been doing it as long as I can remember. It’s my favorite.” How does it help her achieve her amazing body? “It’s a lot of upper body strength, it’s balance, it’s core, it’s legs—you get tired really fast,” she says. “I see such a change in my body after an entire summer of [skiing]. My arms are stronger, more sculpted. My abs are rock solid. But I never look at it as a workout because it is so much fun,” she said.

Morning Workouts

Sydney mixes up her exercise routine, but likes to get workouts over with early in the day. “I like to work out in the morning, so I’ll either go for a run or I’ll go to Solidcore,” says Sydney. The high-intensity, low-impact Pilates-inspired workout “makes me feel so strong, but also elongated,” Sydney said about her sweat sessions. “I feel so good afterwards.”

Self-Care

Sydney engages in self-care activities. “I love to paint, and I love to read,” she said. “Those are the activities that are just for me.” One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years than those who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

She Walks and Hikes

One of the ways she treats her anxiety is by spending time outdoors with her dog, Tank. She takes him on walks or hikes. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Mariana Morais is showing off her ab-fab figure – in a two-piece exercise set. In a new social media post, the fitness influencer flaunts her fantastic figure in a brown sports bra and leggings. “Self Progress & Development is not always linear. Sometimes we take steps back & that’s just a sign to course correct so we can leap forward. If 2024 wasn’t the year you expected, use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, & carry on. It’s you VS you - continue to try, focus on consistency > perfection & you will prevail 🤎 rooting for us all to strengthen our mind & bodies this year,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Strength Training

Mariana relies on old-school strength training to keep her body toned. “Training till failure instead of reps + taking my ab routine up a notch by incorporating weighted exercises,” she wrote about one of her workout tactics. “I can feel my muscles being challenged and am in tune with my movements.” 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

Prioritizing Digestion and Getting Blood Work Done

Other healthy habits? “Prioritizing digestion,” she writes in the same post. “Making sure I get enough fiber & starting off every morning with a juice cleanse. This has helped me feel so much better everyday.” She also gets regular blood work done. “So important to check your levels and know what’s going on in your body routinely! Don’t skip the doc apts, always better to be preventative.”

Hiking

Mariana enjoys hiking. “Elevation therapy,” she captioned a post from one of her fitness adventures. 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 some respiratory issues

Pilates

Mariana does reformer Pilates. “POV: Stepping into the prettiest torture chamber,” she wrote across a video of herself at the studio. 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.

Emsculpt NEO

Mariana recently got an aesthetic body treatment, Emsculpt NEO. “I’ve heard all the rage about the benefits to spot reducing fat & toning muscle so I had to give it a try to target those pesky lower abs. It was a 10/10 & a great addition to my workout routine,” she wrote.
