Olympian Lieke Klaver is a Dutch track and field sprinting athlete. On a series of photos captioned “@athlos my baby. Season 2024 is a WRAP !! Outfit @stellamccartney @adidas @omega @avavav,” on Instagram, Leike shares photos of herself running and mingling with fans. Here’s what she does to stay in such great shape and maintain her fit physique.


1. She lifts weights

During her workout routine, lifting weights and feeling strong is an extremely important part of the process. “The gym makes me happy in a different way 🦸🏼‍♀️🦸🏼‍♀️🦸🏼‍♀️,” she said on a video of her deadlifting on Instagram. “You don't need to spend hours a day lifting weights to benefit from strength training. You can see significant improvement in your strength with just two or three 20- or 30-minute strength training sessions a week,” according to the Mayo Clinic.

2. She has support

She’s grateful for the support she has from her family. “LOOK my dad and brother!!! 😍😍😍😍 World Championships 🧡🧡🥇🥈 Not able to find words to describe the past weeks🎢 So so so proud of my team, my people, my family! One week of rest, then ➡️ We continue the hard work @toomuchsugar400 😍 Anyone is excited with me for the upcoming Olympic season???? 🙋🏼‍♀️,” she said on Instagram.

3. She rests

She takes days off to rest from intense workouts when her body needs a brief break. “Rest days in the garden where I just lay on the grass, watch birds and embrace the messy hair, ugh LOVE it #goodmorning 🦋🪲🌿🌾,” she said on Instagram. “Just like your body needs sleep every night to recover from the day, it also needs occasional rest days to recover from workouts. Taking some downtime between exercise sessions is essential for building strength and preventing injury. Experts recommend taking at least one day off from your daily workout routine each week. Taking a rest day after a particularly long or intense workout can be especially helpful,” according to UCLA Health.

4. She cools down

Preparing your body during warm-ups and cool downs before and after workouts can be an important part of the journey. “Cooling down after the 49 run 🥵,” she said on Instagram. “Cooling down after a workout is as important as warming up. After physical activity, your heart is still beating faster than normal, your body temperature is higher and your blood vessels are widened. This means if you stop too fast, you could feel sick or pass out. A cool-down after physical activity allows a gradual decrease at the end of the episode,” according to heart.org.

5. She deadlifts

She incorporates deadlifting into her workouts, weightlifting to build strength. “OMGGGGGG sharing this moment with you guys because I’m soooooooo proud!!!!!!! 110 kg!!!! 🤝🏼❤️‍🔥 And don’t try to play coach and tell me stuff about technique,” she said on Instagram on a video of her hitting 110 kg.

Eilish McColgan is a successful track athlete. She has won a gold and a silver medal at the Commonwealth Games, two silvers and a bronze at the European Championships, and a bronze at the European Indoor Championships. McColgan recently shared a set of photos on Instagram of herself running. She captioned it, “A very good day at the oval office! 🔥💪Surprised myself yesterday with one of my best sessions in months... AND on day 1 of my cycle.”

She Runs

Running is one of the things that McColgan does to keep herself in shape. She shared this post on Instagram of herself running a marathon. She captioned it, “Last race of 2024 in the bag! 💰 (Race recap) Battled for 4th place today in what was by far the toughest race I've ever done! It took a LOT of mental strength to finish, with my legs hitting a brick wall around 18km... but it helped that I was catching and passing some of the other elite women who had started to suffer, too! Delhi was hit with a huge spike in humidity and pollution levels in the days leading into the race. The air was SO thick. Never experienced anything quite like it! 🤣 Breathing was already hard through the first 5km, which made it a long slog to the finish line. 🫁I decided very early on I was going to run on my own and at my own pace, letting the main pack go ahead. Trying to pick off as many people as I could over the 2nd half. I think someone said I was around 10th at halfway, but in all honesty, I didn't have a clue. I just kept trying to catch and pass the next person. I was actually pretty gutted to find out I was only a few seconds off the podium in the end!”

She Does Activation Exercises

McColgan shared some of her favorite activation exercises in this Instagram video. In it, she is seen doing things with resistance bands and exercises like pogo jumps and step ups. McColgan captioned it, “Here's some of my favourite activation exercises for endurance runners 🏋🏼♀️The winter months tend to be heavily focused on longer, slower endurance work, so I like to throw in some activation & conditioning work the evening before key interval sessions. 🔑It helps to keep my fast twitch muscles firing and stops me from getting too sluggish and heavy legged from all the additional running. 🏃🏼♀️💨”

She Hikes

McColgan likes to hike to keep herself in shape. She shared this post on Instagram of herself hiking in Vietnam. McColgan captioned it, “What a day in HaLong Bay! 😍🫶After eating our way around Hanoi, we headed out to 'sea' the sights... 😜Vietnam so far has been a dream. Can't believe we've waited this long to visit - it's certainly lived up to the hype!! 🇻🇳”

She Does Pool Exercises

McColgan likes to do pool exercises. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing things like high knees and squats in the water. McColgan captioned it, “Not your typical pool day! 😜 🏊♀️👙Training is a little different at the moment... Instead of running, we are spending time in the gym building strength and addressing weakness on my left side. The goal with rehab is to progress things gradually every week, and this pool session does just that - keeping my ligaments and tendons moving. I'll try to share more of my rehab videos over the next few weeks! 💪”

She Pushes Herself

McColgan makes sure to push herself when she trains. She talked about this in the caption of her Instagram post. “Female athletes have it touuuuugh.. so this is literally my biggest win of the year, as usually I run (and feel) absolutely pants. 💩But despite my legs feeling like two bricks, I somehow muscled out sub 5min mile pace (3:05km) for my final 2mile rep. Ooft it hurt. (And I've been on the sofa ever since! 😅).”

1. She Runs

In her Instagram video, Fernández is seen running. FloTrack states that running has a lot of benefits. “Running and jogging is an aerobic exercise, and you’re working out both your heart and lungs while doing so. This will also lead to a lower resting heart rate, lower bad cholesterol in your blood and lower blood pressure. You don’t need to run an obscene amount of miles every day to get these benefits, either. Those who just run a couple of minutes a day decrease their risk of cardiovascular death by 58 percent. If you have a hard time running, you can still give your heart a workout by jogging or walking.”

2. She Lifts Weights

Fernández is seen doing a squat with a barbell in her Instagram video. ACE Fitness reports that weights have a lot of benefits. “Training with heavy weights helps you to improve your self-confidence. Knowing that you can lift heavy stuff gives you the confidence that you can handle common challenges, such as putting a bag in the overhead bin on an airplane or carrying a heavy piece of furniture while reorganizing a room or helping a friend move.”

3. She Does Squats

In her recent Instagram video, Fernández is seen doing squats. Allina Health states that squats are a great exercise. “The squat is one of the all-around best exercises to do for your lower body. It strengthens and tones muscles in your thighs, butt and calves and improves posture, balance, flexibility and inner core strength. Squatting also improves bone mineral density to keep your bones strong.”

4. She Does Planks

Fernández shared this workout video on Instagram. In it, she is seen doing a side plank while lifting a weight. Planks have a lot of benefits. The Cleveland Clinic says, “Plank exercises work your core muscles, which are located between your pelvic floor and diaphragm. The area is also known as your trunk. These muscles support your movements and stabilize the spine.”

5. She Swims

Fernández shared this Instagram video of herself swimming. Better Health states that swimming has a lot of health benefits. “Swimming is a great workout because you need to move your whole body against the resistance of the water. 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.”

So, how does she stay in such incredible shape? From strength training to boxing, here’s a look at her go-to fitness moves.

She Strength Trains

In her Instagram post, Sharvari is seen doing a strength training exercise. The Mayo Clinic says that strength training has a lot of benefits. “Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories. Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age.”

She Does Yoga

Sharvari shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. One thing she likes to do is yoga. Sharvari posted this video of herself doing poses on her page. John Hopkins Medicine states that yoga is very beneficial. “Regular yoga practice may reduce levels of stress and body-wide inflammation, contributing to healthier hearts. Several of the factors contributing to heart disease, including high blood pressure and excess weight, can also be addressed through yoga.”

She Plays Padel

Sharvari likes to play padel to keep herself in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself on the court. Playing padel has a lot of health benefits. Everybody Health & Leisure says, “It improves cardiovascular fitness, helps to build strength and endurance, enhances coordination and promotes overall physical and mental well-being. Not to mention, it’s a fantastic way to burn calories.”

She Boxes

Another thing that Sharvari does to keep herself in shape is box. She first picked this up when training for the film, Vedaa. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself punching a bag. Sharvari captioned the post, “BEAST MODE on for Vedaa! ⚠️☠️🥊 Took up boxing to become Vedaa...

Stankovic shares her go-to workout moves, from squats to lunges, cardio, Pilates, and strength training.

Natasa Stankovic isn’t just a content creator—she’s a fitness inspiration. Known for sharing intense workout sessions on Instagram, she keeps her followers motivated with creative exercise challenges and dynamic routines.

In her latest post, Stankovic teamed up with Aleksandar Illic for a lower body blast, pushing through variations of squats and lunges. Dressed in a sleek two-piece workout set, she captioned the session, “Wednesday challenge,” proving that fitness is all about consistency and fun.

So, how does she maintain her lean, strong physique? From strength training to Pilates, here’s a look at Stankovic’s go-to workout moves.

She Does Squats

Stankovic does squats to keep herself in shape, as you can see in her Instagram video. Piedmont says that this exercise has a lot of health benefits. “Whether you’re hoping to tone your muscles, strengthen your core or just improve overall health, squats are one of the best exercises you can do. Although the movements appear relatively simple, squats can take time to master. Joel Hardwick, ACSM EP-C, EIM2, an exercise physiologist at Piedmont Atlanta Fitness Center, says practice will pay off…Hardwick explains that squats are a compound, multi-joint movement, which means they exercise several muscle groups. When you perform a squat, you work your calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, core and part of your back.”

She Does Lunges

Stankovic is also seen doing lunges in her Instagram video. The Mayo Clinic reports that lunges are very beneficial to do. “The lunge is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles. Specifically, the lunge targets the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles in the thigh, the gluteal muscles in the buttock, and to a lesser extent, the lower leg muscles. The lunge is a great conditioning exercise for many sports, especially those that involve lunging movements, such as tennis, basketball or soccer.”

She Does Cardio

Stankovic likes to do cardio workouts to keep herself in shape. She shared this video of herself doing fast box jumps in different directions on Instagram. Stankovic captioned it, “Morning cardio challenge.” Cardio exercises have a lot of benefits. The Cleveland Clinic says, “When you work your heart and other muscles of your body during cardio exercise, this increases oxygen supply to your whole body, allowing all muscles to work harder and more efficiently. Over time, regular cardio exercise allows your muscles to adapt to an increased workload, making regular activities seem easier.”

She Does Pilates

Stankovic shares a lot of her favorite workouts in an Instagram story highlight. In some of the stories, she is seen doing Pilates exercises on a reformer. Pilates is very beneficial. The Cleveland Clinic says, “One of the reasons Pilates is such a good workout is that it specifically focuses on building core strength.”

She Strength Trains

Stankovic likes to strength train to keep herself in shape. She shared this Instagram story of herself using dumbbells. ACE Fitness says that strength training and using weights has a lot of health 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.”

Kim French in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Real Results" Workout

Learn how she sculpts her powerhouse physique with deadlifts, lunges, squats, and more.

Kim French is more than just a personal trainer—she’s a fitness coach who empowers thousands through her Believe App and Instagram workouts. Known for her structured, effective home training plans, she proves that you don’t need a gym full of heavy weights to build serious strength.

In a recent Instagram post, French shared a glimpse of her at-home training, reminding followers that smart training delivers "REAL results." Rocking a sleek two-piece workout set, she showcased some of her go-to exercises, emphasizing that with the right strategy, anyone can see progress.

So what’s in her routine? From deadlifts to hip thrusts, here’s how French sculpts her powerhouse physique.

She Does Deadlifts

French is seen doing deadlifts in her Instagram post. This exercise has a lot of benefits. NASM says, “A Romanian deadlift is a hip-hinge pattern that works the hamstrings and glutes. It is a form of deadlift with noticeably less bend in the knee, leading to greater hamstring engagement than traditional deadlifts. The move was introduced to the masses in the 90s by Romanian weightlifter Nicu Vlad (an Olympic and World Weightlifting champion) and his coach Dragomir Cioroslan. The two invented the move to help Nicu strengthen his back for the clean and jerk. Today, RDLs are commonly used to strengthen the posterior chain, using the core muscles to stabilize and the hamstrings and glutes to drive the movement.”

She Does Lunges

Another exercise that French is seen doing in her Instagram post is lunges. NASM says that they are very beneficial. “The lunge is a versatile, simple and effective movement for lower body training. Various positions, planes of motion and speeds can all yield different training adaptations for the exerciser. Lunges are the gift that keeps on giving!”

She Does Squats

French is seen doing squats in her Instagram video. According to The Cleveland Clinic, squats are very beneficial. “Here’s a quick look at the many benefits of squats, also known as bodyweight squats or air squats: Works major muscle groups. Burns calories. Strengthens your core. Improves lower body strength. Enhances stability and balance. Betters your posture.”

She Does Hamstring Curls

French is seen doing hamstring curls in her Instagram post. According to The Mayo Clinic, hamstring curls are very beneficial. “The seated hamstring curl is an exercise you can do with a weight machine to work the muscles in the back of the thigh. As the name implies, the seated hamstring curl targets the hamstring muscles here in the back of the thigh. Strong hamstring muscles help to protect your ligaments in the knee.”

She Does Hip Thrusts

French shared this video on Instagram of herself doing hip thrusts. She captioned it, “Hip Thrusts are no doubt one of the best exercises for building your Glutes but of course with any exercise, the form has to be correct for you to see the maximum benefits…✖️ Feet too far forwards will engage your hamstrings more ✖️ Feet too close to you will engage your quads more ✔️ Feet placed so your calves are vertical will engage your glutes more.”
