UFC Champ Amanda Nunes in Two-Piece Workout Gear is "The GOAT"

Amanda Nunes is ready to fight – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the UFC champ flaunts her fit figure in a two-piece exercise set, driving her followers wild. “You worked hard, now it's time to enjoy life 👏👏👏,” commented one of her followers. “The GOAT!!!!!!!!” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Mixed Martial Arts

As part of UFC, Amanda does a lot of MMA fighting. Studies confirm that the practice helps with balance, cognitive function and psychological health in addition to weight loss and physical fitness.

2. Challenges Push Her

Amanda explains to ESPN that she is driven by challenges. "When I don't feel challenges, things slow down. I don't know why, but it's how it is with me. I like to feel trapped. I like the challenges. That is going to bring the excitement back for me to bring my best the day of the fight,” she said.

3. Cold Plunge

Amanda enjoys a post-workout cold plunge. “Recovering,” she captioned this video. There is limited research supporting the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increased focus, improved sleep, and decreased inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes basic post-sport recovery.

4. Horseback Riding

When she isn’t fighting, Amanda enjoys riding horses. “ It was really good 🐎 This is my life 🐎 #riding,” she captioned a post. According to the American Heart Association, riding horses is great for your health. Not only does it boost cardiovascular health, but builds core strength, burns calories, and lowers blood pressure. It is also great for your mental health as it helps relax you.

5. Her Own Gym

Amanda built her own dream gym, which she dubbed The Lioness Studio. It has a generous stretch of mat space for training, a full-sized cage, workout equipment and a small sauna. There is also an upstairs lounge with a television, kitchen, and bedroom. She told ESPN, “when I walk in here, I feel the same way as when I walked into American Top Team for the first time in my life," she said. "It's the same feeling when I step in this gym every day. This is the place that I'm gonna bring my belt that I'm supposed to have and by mistake I let it go. But this is the place that I'm gonna bring it back to and I'm gonna put it right here."
