The Traitors Stunner Mercedes Javid In Two-Piece Workout Gear Says “Balance Is Power”

Denise Herber is prepping her body for competition. In a new social media post the German powerlifter flaunts her strong and fit figure in two-piece workout gear while getting ready for bodybuilding. “Prep for the bodybuilding stage • Cut for two months and show off on stage • Combine powerlifting and bodybuilding,” she wrote in the Instagram caption. How does the athlete keep herself prepped for competition? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Cutting Calories

How does Denise get cut? “It‘s time to cut body weight! Started on monday with 81.3kg. Currently I only reduce my calorie intake, next monday the final water cut starts🧂💦 But WHY am I doing this? It’s simple: I wanna compete -75kg class, it’s all for the DOTS points!” she captioned a post.

2. Training Smart

Denise advocates training smarter not harder. “You won‘t win a medal 🥇 at your next meet for having the most hardest sessions in your prep… I mean it doesn‘t count if you are going through a 6 times/week training shedule with an „all in or nothing“ mentality. And nobody cares, too. What counts is the day X. I personally have 2 of 4 sessions/week where I definitely focus at 110%. The other two sessions are just general training ones without stressing myself to hit some certain numbers. I just train. For ME it works very well. Finding a balance between intensity & regeneration is the most difficult part,” she revealed in a post. “Here is one example from last week: instead of doing heavy ssb squats 48 hours after heavy deadlifts and 48 hours before heavy squats, I did some light weight quad tempo work! Slow eccentric + paused + slow concentric. End of the story: two days after I was 110% focused again.”

3. Balance

According to Denise, her success is due to a balanced approach. Some days she eats in a “calorie surplus” with all the “bad foods” and the other days “in a deficit to balance everything,” she wrote in a post. “For ME it works. It’s much better than dealing with a daily restricted macro/calorie specification. I hold my body weight on average and thats all I want.”

4. Cold Plunge

Denise recently tried cold plunging. “Cold plunge with 55F/12C but damn I bet it was way colder! We both are definitely only made for hot stuff,” she captioned a post. “A trend that is exaggerated by many. Getting colder, getting longer. The danger that something can happen here is already great. Bottom line: If you’re not the cold type, that’s perfectly okay. For a healthy athlete this is absolutely not a must. We make the most of this tool with alternating baths between warms and cold, especially to To push the circulation.”

5. Workout Buddy

Denise is married to physical therapist Nico Herber, who is also her workout buddy. Having a workout buddy is a great tool to stay accountable.

Victoria Beckham is hitting the gym broken foot and all. In a new social media post the Spice Girls singer turned fashion designer shows off her famously fit figure in a sports bra and leggings during a workout session at Gold’s Gym. “Can’t keep me out,” she captioned the Instagram Story. How does the forever young 49-year-old approach health and wellness? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Exercise Is “Part of Who I Am,” She Says

In an interview with The Guardian’s Weekend magazine Victoria explained that exercise is a daily habit, and “a really positive thing for me,” she added. “It’s part of who I am now, and I really enjoy it. That was a big part of why I wanted to work with Reebok – I had very specific ideas about the workout clothes that I wanted to wear and couldn’t find.”

2. Two Hour Workouts

Victoria works out a whopping two hours every day, breaking her fitness bouts up throughout the day. She runs a 7k on the treadmill at 6am, “a mix of uphill fast walking, jogging, running,” followed by a training session with a personal trainer, “30 minutes legs, 30 minutes arms, toning and conditioning, then loads of planks and that kind of thing for my core.”

3. Podcasts and Cardio

Victoria told Allure that her favorite podcast right now is SmartLess, which she listens to while she’s on the “stair climber thing,” getting her steps in. She does this before her trainer session five days a week.

4. Balance

During the interview with Allure, Victoria was asked if she ever sits on the coach and eats potato chips. “I’ve never been that person,” she responded “Look, I love to go out and have a drink and have fun. It’s got to be about balance.”

5. Plastic Surgery Regrets

Beckham was also asked whether or not her daughter Harper knows about her breast implants, which she had removed a few years back. “If I’m honest, I wish I’d never [gotten implants]. It was a moment in time, and I think I can share my experiences with her,” she said. “But we’re not there just yet.”

5. Red Wine

During the interview with Allure, Victoria drinks red wine. “Red wine, in moderation, has long been thought of as heart healthy,” says the Mayo Clinic. “The alcohol and certain substances in red wine called antioxidants may help prevent coronary artery disease, the condition that leads to heart attacks.”

Jade Cargill is looking like “a superhero” in one of her costumes. In a new social media post the AEW wrestler shows off her insanely fit figure in her new “gear,” throwing her followers into a frenzy. “Body so sick AI can’t even recreate it,” commented one of her followers. “You really look like a superhero,” added another. “So perfect from head to toe!” a third chimed in. How does the athlete approach diet and fitness? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Strength Training

Jade focuses on building muscle via strength training. “I’ve been in sports all my life, so I’ve been attracted to bodybuilding forever,” Jade told Muscle and Fitness. “I watched [WWE female legend] Chyna when I was growing up, and I was muscular growing up. I would get picked on because of how built I was and seeing her embody her presence, it made me love myself and say: ‘You know what? I love my body and I want to get stronger.’”

2. Mindset

Jade sticks to workouts she loves. “I had a crazy conditioning coach named Todd Moyer, I mean he was ridiculous,” laughs Cargill. “And what do you do when you get in trouble, and you play basketball? You run! So, I just switched my mindset to love running, getting in there and working out,” she told Muscle and Fitness.

3. Minimal; Social Media

"I love that people just assume the worst. Bryan Danielson and I were in training. He talked about '90s babies not being able to live without social media. This was to Daniel Garcia, myself, and a couple of other people. I was born in 1992. I was around when the beeper was around, and landlines. I can live without social media. He went on my phone to see how many hours I'm on my phone a day,” Jade told 411mania.com. “It was something ridiculous. He said he only spent an hour a day on his phone. I felt kind of embarrassed. He said, 'Why don't you get rid of one of your social media [feeds] for a little bit? Let's see where your numbers go from there,'” she said. “He said to pick the most toxic app. I thought Twitter. I deleted it."

4. Two-a-Days

Sometimes Jade does two workouts a day. "You have to put in the work," she says. "I do two-a-days, four days a week. I don't just put the work in at the gym, but in the ring as well. I'm new, and he knew that and knows that. I've probably had four matches in the last five or six months. That is not a lot at all, but I'm in the gym when waiting to be called to have a match. I'm growing," she told 411mania.com.

5. Take Time for Self-Care

Jade makes sure to indulge in self-care. Here she is enjoying nature in her bathing suit. “There is beauty in simplicity,” she captioned the post.
