2. She Does Rows
Sanzo loves doing rows to stay in shape. She shared this video of herself doing the three kinds of rows. Sanzo captioned it, “Here’s everything you need to know about ROWS… 👉 Wearing the Army Abs Zip Tank and Cargo Shorts by @firmabs_brand 🔥Rows can be performed with virtually any piece of equipment - but the major difference between all the various types of rows is the way your body is positioned 💡Here’s a guide between the 3 main positions:1️⃣ CHEST SUPPORTED POSITION 👉 This position is great to eliminate momentum & helps reduce the involvement of the core / lower back ✅ Best used to isolate the back & improve muscular activation of the back muscles 2️⃣ SEATED / KNEELING POSITION. This position is great to increase the range of motion of the movement & to develop core strength. ✅ Best used for building muscle throughout the entire back. 3️⃣ BENT OVER POSITION 👉 This position is great to develop strength in the posterior chain (from the back down to the glutes & hamstrings). ✅ Best used for powerlifters or athletes to improve their functional strength.”
3. She’s Consistent
Sanzo showed off her body transformation in this Instagram post. She revealed her secrets behind it in the caption. One thing Sanzo did was be consistent. “TAKE NON-STOP ACTION
👉 Make a commitment to be consistent above all else. ❌ Never wait for motivation & don’t expect to ‘feel like’ doing what needs to be done. ✅ Exercise the DISCIPLINE to follow the plan to the best of your ability regardless of how you feel.”
4. She Tracked Her Progress

In the previous Instagram post’s caption, Sanzo also revealed that tracking her progress was another thing she did. “TRACK YOUR PROGRESS 👉 Measure your results relentlessly ❌ Don’t leave things to chance (if you don’t measure it - you can’t manage it) ✅ Write down your stats, take photos & keep a record of EVERYTHING to ensure you remain on track and accountable at all times.”
5. She Uses Visualization
Sanzo also revealed in her Instagram post caption that visualization was another thing she practiced. “VISUALISE THE OUTCOME 👉 Regularly see yourself achieving it in your mind ❌ Working towards something that you feel incapable or unworthy of accomplishing will never work ✅ Take a moment each day to visualise yourself accomplishing your goal & experience the feelings that come with it (until you feel like you ARE it).”
