Jordynne Grace is doing a special dance for husband, Jonathan Gresham. In a new social media post the professional wrestler shows off her moves, while trying to appease her athlete hubby. “When he asks you to dance for him but you are a pro wrestler,” she wrote on the Instagram video. “Date night 💪🏾😅,” commented one of her followers. “Too cute,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
1. From Pro Wrestler to Bodybuilder
Jordynne recently transitioned from wrestling to bodybuilding. “I want to be the first pro wrestler to ever go to The Arnold,” Grace told Sports Illustrated, referring to The Arnold Classic. “That’s my dream.” Even she was astounded by her transformation. “I feel like the same person, then I look in the mirror and say, ‘Whoa,’” says Grace. “The weight loss has become noticeable in my face, and I never thought I’d have a six-pack in my life. It’s been insane to see my body change.”

On her anniversary, Jordynne hit a Pilates studio. “@stretch_atl for an incredible stretch session 🔥,” she wrote in the caption of a post. According to research, Pilates exercises are designed to increase muscle strength, endurance, and flexibility, and to improve posture and balance. Experts maintain that it is a great workout for leaning out.
3. Lots of Cardio and Dieting
“Bodybuilding doesn’t go with pro wrestling. I feel so weak. You’re putting your body through extremely intense stress. It leaves you exhausted,” she told Sports Illustrated, adding that there is lots of “cardio and dieting” involved. “I can’t wait to see what happens,” says Grace. “This is something I’m doing for a specific competition, and I think it’s important that people know that. There is so much behind it. Posing, memorizing routines, it’s a whole different ball game. When it’s over, I can’t wait to eat a lot of food.” She added: “But look at me now—I’m on the stairs every day for 90 minutes, and I’m eating chicken and rice every day.
4. Her Body Is Changing
Jordynne recently shared a photo of her body changing, from March to July to August. “March - four days out from a bodybuilding show, strict diet + 90 min daily cardio for 12 weeks.
July - about four months of little to no diet structure, lifting HEAVY, 20-30 min cardio 2-3x a week
August/currently: structured diet for apprx 4 weeks, daily cardio, lifting 5-6x/week,” she wrote. “Seeing all these wrestling and bodybuilding shows going on is causing me elite level FOMO.”
5. Not Listening to Haters
“I’ve gotten relentless hate about the way I look on social media,” Grace wrote in a post. “I’ve heard I was too big or that I was too short—now I hear that I’m too muscular and I look like a man. I am here to prove that you can do whatever you want to, especially if you use those negative comments as fuel.”
