How does the athlete stay fighting fit? Here are 5 ways she takes care of her health.

1. Trained By the Best

Wrestling legend Greg Gagne trained Stratton and says she was impressive right from the start. "She was a handful,” Gagne says. “A friend of mine asked me, I wasn't doing anything, 'Would you train this girl? She wants to be a professional wrestler.' She had a great background, she [had] five years with the U.S. gymnastics team, and she won first place. And then she went into bodybuilding, first place, set a record in her weight lifting class, and she wanted to wrestle."

2. Inspired By Shawn Johnson

Stratton has a background in gymnastics, and says she was inspired by Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson. “When Shawn Johnson came in, it turned everybody’s heads because, like I said, she was very dominant. She was strong,” she says. “She did all these really cool, powerful skills. Then when the United States went to the Olympics, she actually helped the team be super dominant compared to all the other countries. I think that was the moment where I fell in love with her.”

3. Heavy Metal Lover

Stratton uses music to help push her to work out harder. “I listen to heavy metal when I work out,” she says. “Like, I listen to screamo music, like Disturbed. I listen to Shinedown. I listen to, what’s another one, Three Days Grace. I’m into all that screamo music when I work out. When I workout I want to work out hard and that music gets there.”

4. Confidence Is Key

Stratton says her skills have grown with her confidence, making her a fighter to be reckoned with. “My confidence has changed a lot,” she says. “I definitely feel like I found who I am in life, but [also] in the ring. I’ve really found who I am in the ring, and I think that’s a big factor that people don’t realize is just figuring out who you are in the ring and what drives you and what motivates you. I’ve really honed in on my craft and I think that has been the biggest game changer for me is just figuring out who I am in this industry.”

5. SmackDown Fan

Stratton was a big fan of wrestling before she ever decided to take it up as a career. “I was a gymnast up until I was 19 or 20 years old,” she says. “I kind of saw wrestling on TV. I always knew about it; my brother and my dad would always watch it growing up. I never really got into it until later on. I was still a gymnast and I saw SmackDown on my TV one day flipping through the channels with my family. And I saw it and was immediately like, ‘wow that’s so cool, I feel that’s a lot of the things that I can do.’ I saw Charlotte Flair doing her corkscrew moonsault out of the ring. I saw that and was like, ‘that is so cool, I can totally do that, I do that on the trampoline like every day.'”

In an interview with the Tampa Bay Times, Natalya Neidhart opened up about what she eats before a match. “I went to the Sky Lounge in the LaGuardia airport and had a little bit of Greek yogurt and a cappuccino with skim milk. I always like to have a little bit of coffee in the morning — it’s more of a ritual for me than the taste. I like to sit and have 15 minutes to myself to just drink my coffee and reflect and think about what my day is going to be like. They served a breakfast burrito on the plane. To be brutally honest, I don’t really love airplane food, but no matter what, you can make something out of nothing. I had a couple of bites, that that way I could feel like I was getting a little bit without all the calories. Then I just had water on the plane. Whenever I travel I try to hydrate as much as possible. I hate that dehydrated feeling, it makes me super tired. They also served some fresh fruit so I had a little bit of that. That way when I landed I didn’t feel too bloated or heavy.”

4. Carmella

Carmella, also known as Leah Van Dale, shared her workout routine with Women Fitness. “I always warm up on the bike or treadmill for about 20-30 minutes before I lift. Stretching is something I really need to get back into my daily routine. With my schedule, it’s so hard to fit everything in. I usually only have time to train OR stretch, but I really need to start making time for both. I notice such a difference in my body when I take the time to stretch properly.”

5. Britt Baker

Britt Baker shared her approach to exercise in an interview with Muscle and Fitness. “I’m, admittedly, a very late-night workout girl,” she said. “I’m at the gym, usually at 10pm, finishing up around 11.30pm or midnight. That’s just how it works for me now because that’s the only time I can fit in. When I’m home, in a typical day, I wake up, go to the dental office and I’m there sometimes until 7pm, come home, eat really quick, say hello to my boyfriend (who just happens to be fellow AEW superstar; Adam Cole then I go to the gym.”

I feel extremely lucky and blessed to have the career that I have now and don’t want to lose it along with everything that I could lose if I don’t stay sober.”

In 2018, Tenille Dashwood opened up about signing with Ring of Honor with TVInsider. “I feel revived and alive again with wrestling,” she said. “I started this because I love wrestling. Back when I was younger in Australia, I wanted to be a wrestler and loved what I did with WWE. It’s completely different now. It’s not five minutes on TV where I’m asked to do such and such. It’s having competitive singles matches every night. There are different opponents every night. I’m meeting new people and improving my own skills every time by working with different people in the ring. It got me going again.”

I’ve been wrestling for seven years, but that’s nothing compared to some people. I’m all about the slow and steady. I know it’s a marathon and not a sprint. A lot of my coaches tell me that. I just try to keep that in mind.”

I’m not against the losing weight part. But, I’m against calling people out for it. And I’m against people who call themselves fans thinking it is okay to criticize a woman’s body because it is more than doing squats. I do squats every day. It is a mental game as well. It is so much more than just working out. You know what I mean?”

14. Charlotte Flair

Charlotte Flair opened up about how she approaches her wrestling career in an interview with Muscle and Fitness. “It’s about being kind to yourself,” says Flair. “How you talk to yourself really matters. I never believed that I could be on TV, or be a performer, or any of those things … Why did I tell myself that for so many years? And now, here I am, the most decorated women’s champion of all-time. Why do we tell ourselves that we can’t do something? It’s because we are scared of it. So, do what you are scared of. That biggest fear that you have…do that!”

16. Thunder Rosa

Wrestling is a difficult sport. Thunder Rosa opened up about how she manages injuries on the Athletic and The Arts podcast. “I couldn't feel my legs when I got out of the ring. But I have to get out there. I couldn't let people down. So I wrestled with my hips taped for about two months, because I was wrestling all the time. So it was like, nonstop because of that drive that we have. I wanted to be the champion. I wanted to be the best. I wanted people to say that I did it, I wanted to say that I did it for myself."

17. Toni Storm

All of those things started to weigh heavy on me but now I don’t drink any alcohol. I’ve noticed an immense difference. My workouts and everything has totally changed.”

Canadian wrestling star Trish Stratus is proving once again that when it comes to fitness, age is irrelevant. Stratus, 47, shared a stunning picture of herself posing in black bikini and purple coverup, her incredible abs on full display. “Next Miss💰in the 🏦 #MITB,” she captioned the post. “Still the hottest woman in the history of WWE,” a fan commented. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Stratus stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. Gut-Friendly Breakfast

Stratus enjoys healthy, gut-friendly foods for breakfast. “We eat mostly organic, unprocessed foods and we don’t have dairy on the regular (as in we don’t drink cow’s milk, but we are okay to an ice cream cone once in a while!),” she says. “Breakfasts are usually any of the following: eggs, sprouted bread, nut butters, oatmeal, and non-dairy yogurt.”

2. Keep a Food Journal

Stratus’ advice for anyone wanting to stay on top of their diet is to keep a nutrition journal. “It’s a great way to help you realize what’s working in your diet and it keeps you accountable,” she says. “It’s the one tool that I always recommend to people who are looking to start making changes in their eating habits. I’ve used one consistently for more than 10 years, starting back in my fitness days. Recording everything will give you the best chance to get fit and eat more nuTRISHionally — pun intended!”

3. Protein and Grains

Stratus enjoys protein, grains, and vegetables for lunch and dinner. “Lunches and dinners include lean proteins like chicken, grass-fed beef and fish – we usually eat fish 2-3 times a week, quinoa is the favorite grain around here and lots of veggies,” she says. “Some of my staples for snacks are vegan protein powder, hemp seeds, all nuts and fruit and we use coconut oil, grass-fed butter, and avocado oil to cook our food. Pretty simple, and clean and that allows us to have a cheat here and there with NO guilt! We look forward to our pizza nights and burger nights out.”

4. Working Out Through Pregnancy

Stratus worked out throughout her pregnancy and highly recommends it. “I cannot stress enough the importance of eating well and exercising throughout your pregnancy,” she says. “You have total control to create an environment that is nourishing for your baby. Be as educated as you can about the whole process. It helps when you know what to expect and it will allow you to cope with all of it better.”

5. Yoga Sessions

When Stratus is not training for the ring, she enjoys regular yoga sessions. “I have a 20 minute yoga routine which is derived from the style of yoga I designed (Stratusphere Yoga), which has calisthenics and strength moves incorporated into a yoga flow, so you get the best of both worlds,” she says. “I do this every day – I like it as a way to set my intention with my meditation and also if I don’t get a run or outside training session in, I’m still covered.”

Professional wrestling star Trish Stratus is showing off the impressive fitness results of her intense training routine. Stratus, 48, shared a picture of herself posing in front of a mirror, pulling her workout top up to reveal enviable abdominal muscles. “Happy sABturday!” she captioned the post. Stratus has been competing for decades, and is also a certified fitness and yoga instructor—here’s how the star says fit, healthy, and ready to fight.

1. Devoted Yogi

Stratus first tried hot yoga after getting a herniated disc in her back. “I walked into my first class and it sounds cliché, but even after that first session I knew this was going to be something I would stick with,” she told The Globe and Mail. “I did it every single day for three months. I reversed the damage and was able to go back to my career. I kept up the yoga as well and all of a sudden all of the stress and the physical ailments that used to get to me were gone. My life was still crazy, but I was just so much more capable of dealing with it. I think taking that time every day to disconnect is so important for having perspective. It has made me a better and happier person, no question.”

2. Food Journal and Diary

Stratus keeps a food journal to track her diet, and uses it to log significant events as well. “It's not like I don't know what I need to eat to stay healthy and maintain myself, but for some reason there is value in taking the time to write it down,” she told The Globe and Mail. “I guess it brings a sense of awareness and mindfulness in terms of what you're putting into your body. I see it as a way of checking in with myself as much as controlling my diet. And these days I tend to write about things outside of what I'm eating. If something great happens, like my son Max walks, I'll write that in my food journal. For a while I tried to keep a diary. That never worked, so now I guess my food journal is sort of a diary.”

3. Fitness Instructor

Stratus teaches yoga, which she says is perfect for both men and women. “By adding the strength training element to the yoga, you really can get a full body workout because not only are you making your body more flexible, but you are toning and strengthening,” she told Today’s Bride. “It is great to finally answer the question I always get at my yoga studio, which is ‘is yoga even a workout’. Yes – it is! For guys, they can relate to this yoga workout because they recognize and can appreciate the results that can be obtained from the calisthenics included in the DVD, like pushups, squats, lunges, etc. What I see a lot of guys doing is using this system as a complement to their regular gym workouts or using a yoga session for an active rest day.”

4. Playing a Character

Stratus believes it’s very important for wrestlers to play characters authentic to their real personalities. “Pro wrestling is entertainment as much as anything else, so having the personality and being able to play this blown-up version of yourself is an important skill,” she told The Globe and Mail. “Sometimes the writers will create characters that are just totally different from the wrestlers themselves, but the best ones – the ones that have longevity and resonate most with the audience – are almost always when it's an amped-up version of the actual personality. Like Stone Cold Steve Austin – that is who he is. The Rock, if you meet him, that is the guy. It's way over the top, but it's him.”

5. She’s Still Got It

Stratus is proud of her achievements both in and out of the ring. “I’ve done stuff that I would’ve never imagined,” she told Vibe. “If 2006 Trish Stratus said ‘One day you’ll be in a ladder match. One day you’ll be in a cage match,’ [I’d be] like, ‘What? You’re crazy.’ So to be able to come back and do these unique opportunities, which, I think, [if] we look back, the foundation that [Lita] and I, Molly Holly, Jazz, Victoria, [doing] the stuff that we did, the intention was because one day we can do everything and contribute fully like the guys do.”
