Amanda Fischer is jumping rope – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the United Grid League star shows off her amazing body and superior strength during a workout session, wearing a two-piece exercise outfit. “All gas no breaks on this one,” commented one of her followers. “Making easy work of that rope!” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


1. Running

Amanda went over a day in her life to Blacklisted HQ. “This morning we are at the track. So we do track sessions every single Friday morning,” she says. “I have 400 meter repeats, but I have different intervals. So every 100 meters I'm changing the pace. So 100 easy, 100 moderate, 100 at my 5K and 100 at my 3k with a two minute rest between sets, we have three of those and then we have three sets of a 200 meter easy run into a 400 meter 5K pace. And then finally 400 meter easy with an 800 meter at my 10K pace with a nice little 400 meter walk between two sets of that. So lots of running. Not my favorite thing, but we're here getting better.”

2. Weight Lifting

Then, she heads to the gym for session number two “where we have some lifting,” she says. “Today's just a lot about volume. So I typically have like one volume day a week and this is that.” After her strength training she will work out for 30 minutes doing hip thrusters, wall facing handstand pushups, shuttle runs, gymnastics, and more running. “My calves are very sore, so we'll see how all this goes,” she says.

3. Aerobic and Higher Intensity Workout

One day she will have an “aerobic capacity” day and other days “higher intensity days, so kind of shorter workouts but getting kind of that intensity in,” she says. “I would say Mondays and Tuesdays are more about intensity and then Fridays are about volume. And then Saturdays when we are with our entire crew, that kind of brings the intensity again and a little bit more of like the competition style stuff.”

4. Nutrition

“Typically I eat the same from day to day, but my nutrition coach does have high volume days. So my high volume days are about two to 250 calories more and we typically try to get those in carbs,” she says. “I'll eat a little bit more, more carbs on days like this. I also just started a cut yesterday, so we're dealing with that, but only day two, so not feeling it quite yet.”

5. Jump Roping

In her recent post she jump ropes. “Not only can the repetitive movement of skipping rope elevate your heart rate, work muscles in the arms and legs and burn calories, it may even provide a quick jolt of joy,” says Nike.

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."

Meredith Mickelson is a top model signed with IMG, known for her stunning looks and fit physique. In April, she shared an inspiring gym video on Instagram, captioned, “the best🏋️‍♀️ @aloyoga ps jump-roping without a bra wasn’t my best move.” Curious how she stays in such incredible shape? Discover 5 ways Meredith Mickelson keeps fit and see the photos that prove her methods work.


1. She Does Lunges

In her Instagram video, Mickelson is seen doing lunges. These are a great workout to do. ACE Fitness states, “Lunges work the biggest muscles in your lower body — mainly the quadriceps, gluteus maximus, and the adductor magnus (the muscle in your inner thigh). Other muscles that come into play are the hamstrings, gluteus medius, calves, and core stabilizers, says Susane Pata, content strategist for the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and NASM-certified personal trainer based in Miami.”

2. She Strength Trains

Mickelson is seen using weights in her Instagram video. She is also seen using a weighted ball. The Mayo Clinic reports that workouts like this have a lot of benefits. “By stressing your bones, strength training can increase bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories.”

3. She Jumps Rope

Meredith Mickelson.1Meredith Mickelson/Instagram

Mickelson is seen jumping rope in her Instagram video. Piedmont states that jumping rope has a lot of benefits. “It’s an amazing total body exercise that engages all of the major muscle groups,” says Clinton Maclin, ACSM CEP-CPO, an exercise physiologist and safety coach at Piedmont Atlanta Fitness Center. “You can use it to warm up or as a stand-alone exercise, and it incorporates cardiovascular exercise and resistance training. When you jump rope, you work your upper body, lower body and your core because of the resistance. Walking on a treadmill works your lower body and your core, but you don't get nearly the resistance you would by using a jump rope.”

4. She Does Planks

Meredith Mickelson.2Meredith Mickelson/Instagram

Mickelson is seen doing a plank exercise in the Instagram video. Harvard Health reports that planks have a lot of benefits. “This simple move is the ideal exercise for strengthening crucial core muscles. As you go about your day, almost every move you make revolves around your core — from picking up items on the floor to twisting to see if the coast is clear when driving. Your core is made up of several muscle groups and covers your abdominals, back, hips, pelvis, and buttocks. A weak core can cause all kinds of problems. It can lead to poor posture, and inevitably to neck and shoulder pain. Sore knees and hips often can be traced to a weak core.”

5. She’s Found Acceptance In Herself

Mickelson talked about struggling with her body image in an interview with Vulkan Magazine. She says that she has learned to find acceptance in herself. “I’ve dealt with crazy body image issues, eating disorders, over working out, depression, anxiety and overwhelming amounts of need to get everyone to accept and like me when that’s never possible. It forced me to grow in ways I didn’t know were possible and gave me new depth and understanding.”

Aleah James is a successful wrestler. In order to stay in tip-top shape, James has to do a lot of things abd be hardcore. One thing she likes to do is box jumps. She recently shared a video of herself doing them with a weighted vest on Instagram. She captioned the post, “Assault bike calories and weighted box jumps (vest 10kg/22lbs). 50 cals. 25 box jump @ 20”. 50 cals. 25 box jump @ 24”. 50 cals. 25 box jump @ 30” 50 cals. 25 Box jump @ 30”.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Aleah James stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Does Box Jumps

As you can see from her Instagram post, James does box jumps to stay in shape. This is a plyometric exercise, and according to NASM, this has a lot of benefits. “Of the many benefits of plyometric training, some of the more recognized are: increased vertical jump height, increased long jump distance, increased strength, improved running speed, agility, and quickness, injury reduction, improved throwing, hitting, striking velocity.”

2. She Weight Lifts

James likes to weight train to stay in shape. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself lifting weights. James shared this video of herself lifting a barbell, captioning it, “Meanwhile.” She also shared this weightlifting video, captioning it, “Don’t get too comfortable.” ACE Fitness states that lifting weights has a lot of benefits. “Lifting heavy weights elevates levels of anabolic hormones—specifically testosterone, growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1)—which are used to repair muscle fibers damaged during exercise. This helps the muscle fibers to become thicker and capable of generating higher levels of force.”

3. She Does Pull-Ups

James makes sure to work her upper body. One thing she likes to do is pull-ups. James shared this video on Instagram of herself doing them. She captioned it, “Benefits of pull ups after upper workout: It's hard.” James also posted this pull-up video on her page. She captioned that post, “Enthusiasm level: off the scale.”

4. She Does Burpees

In this Instagram video, James is seen doing box jumps with a burpee. According to The Cleveland Clinic, burpees have a lot of benefits. “From an aerobic standpoint, burpees put your ticker to the test. The exercise offers the breath-stealing effect of running in a very condensed timeframe. There's also a strength, or anaerobic, side to burpees. Movements within the exercise mesh resistance training with explosive muscle action. A burpee targets your arms, chest and shoulders. It’ll work your abs and tax your leg muscles, hips and gluteus maximus, too.”

5. She Jumps Rope

James likes to jump rope to stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing so, captioning it, “I’ve grown to like skipping. My shins have not.” Piedmont states that jumping rope has a lot of benefits. “It’s an amazing total body exercise that engages all of the major muscle groups,” says Clinton Maclin, ACSM CEP-CPO, an exercise physiologist and safety coach at Piedmont Atlanta Fitness Center. “You can use it to warm up or as a stand-alone exercise, and it incorporates cardiovascular exercise and resistance training.”

We are committed to bringing you researched, expert-driven content to help you make more informed decisions around food, health, and wellness. We know how important making choices about your overall health is, and we strive to provide you with the best information possible.

Arielle Loewen is walking on her hands – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the CrossFit athlete shows off her strength and amazingly fit figure in a two-piece exercise set during a competition. “Defying gravity,” she captioned the Instagram photo. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Balancing Family Life with the Gym

“I think I’m able to balance it pretty easily because I approach training differently than most CrossFit athletes. I’ve learned that, for me, less is more when it comes to being in the gym, so I have a few hours of high intensity training, and then plenty of family time,” Arielle told The Barbell Spin. “I am in the gym from about 11 AM – 1:30 PM, and then sometimes back for an evening session after my daughter goes to sleep. I train around her schedule and am able to make breakfast and spend time with her in the morning, and then we get to enjoy the afternoon and evening together. If I need to take her to gymnastics, dance lessons or to the park, I can, because I’ve gotten my workout done.”

Macros

Arielle counts macros using MyFitnessPal. Her main focus? Consuming enough protein. “Here's a look inside what I eat in a day as a full-time mom & CrossFit athlete! I love when I hit my protein goal! I weight around 150lbs & my goal is to get 150g of protein a day!@myfitnesspalmakes it easy to see exactly how much protein I'm consuming a day 🥩🍗,” she captioned a post.

Cycling

Like most CrossFit athletes, Arielle spends a great deal of time cycling. Here she is on the airbike. 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.

Hiking

Arielle enjoys outdoor exercise. Here she is hiking in Scotland. 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 certain respiratory problems.

Training While Pregnant

Arielle didn’t let her pregnancy keep her from CrossFit. While she “scaled down her training significantly” she did a noon class four to five days a week. She also focused on eating “a good meal,” such as meat, potatoes, and veggies, throughout her pregnancy. As her pregnancy progressed she reduced intensity. “CrossFit was definitely good for my physical health, but also my mental health,” Loewen said. “Everything about my body was changing. But the one thing I knew was showing up to the noon class and doing the class workout was my mental escape,” she told CrossFit.

Sharvari isn’t just making waves in the film industry—she’s dominating the fitness game too. Known for her roles in Munjya, Maharaj, and Vedaa, the rising star proves that strength and discipline extend far beyond the big screen.
In her latest Instagram post, Sharvari showcased her grit with a hardcore beach workout, flipping a massive tire in the sand. Dressed in a sleek black workout set, she didn’t just make the workout look effortless—she made it look empowering. Adding a playful pun to her caption, she wrote, “Never tyre’d of a good beach workout.”
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... Now I am ready to pack a punch or be strong enough to take a brutal beating 💪#Vedaa coming to a theatre near you on August 15th.”

She Runs

Sharvari likes to run to keep herself in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself running on the beach. She captioned the post, “Decided to seas the day!” Better Health says that running is very beneficial. “Regular running or jogging offers many health benefits. Running can: help to build strong bones, as it is a weight bearing exercise, strengthen muscles, improve cardiovascular fitness, burn plenty of kilojoules, help maintain a healthy weight.”

Natasa Stankovic in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Wednesday Challenge"

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.”
