WWE's Aliyah in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares Kettlebell Workout

Aliyah is hitting the gym – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the WWE star flaunts her amazing figure in exercise shorts and a crop top during an exercise session. “Back at it again this morning with another roof top finisher,” she captioned the Instagram video. In it she does kettlebell swings, squats, and lunges amongst other exercises using the weight. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. From Circus to WWE

Aliyah went to circus school “because I wanted to be a wrestler," she told WWE. "I remember watching Tough Enough and seeing that they were doing rolls and stuff. I connected that with the circus, which was an option as an after-school program, so I chose that. I learned a lot of skills there, like acrobatics, that transferred over to wrestling… [Circus training] is very physically demanding. You have to have a certain athleticism. You have to be able to jump. Your body has to be able to move a certain way. It takes a lot of flexibility. There's a lot of physicality in wrestling, too. You have to be athletic."

2. Strength Training

Aliyah’s workouts consist mostly of strength and weight training. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

• Develop strong bones
• Manage your weight
• Enhance your quality of life
• Manage chronic conditions
• Sharpen your thinking skills

3. Enjoying Exercise

Aliyah loves to workout. “I enjoy … everything. I really can’t think of just one thing. I love the in-ring training, I love how we have a full gym and get to work on our physiques. I love the whole facility. It’s like Disneyland to me

4. Riding Horses

Aliyah rides horses. “Ain’t nothing new under the sun 😘 #horsegirl,” she captioned a post of herself on horseback. The American Heart Association maintains that 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. Training Hard

Aliyah trains hard "I would go to the gym every day," she says about how she prepped for her WWE tryout. "I would go to wrestling training five times a week. I was eating the cleanest I've ever eaten in my life. I'd practice interviews in the mirror every day. I gave 110 percent to be ready for the tryout."

WWE star Aliyah—real name Nhooph Al-Areebi—is taking a break from her intense fitness regimen to enjoy some downtime. The wrestler posted a picture of herself wearing a glitzy bathing suit, relaxing on a beach towel. “Hello! How are ya?!” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit?

1. Gym Equipment

Aliyah loves using gym equipment such as the elliptical machine. "(The elliptical is) low-impact, so it's good for beginners or those who have joint issues, and it's easier on your hips and knees than running or walking on the treadmill," says Amber Harris, ACE-certified personal trainer and RRCA-certified running coach.

2. Circus Training

Aliyah is trained as a circus performer. “I decided to go to circus school because I wanted to be a wrestler,” she says. “I remember watching Tough Enough and seeing that they were doing rolls and stuff. I connected that with the circus, which was an option as an after-school program, so I chose that. I learned a lot of skills there, like acrobatics, that transferred over to wrestling… [Circus training] is very physically demanding. You have to have a certain athleticism. You have to be able to jump. Your body has to be able to move a certain way. It takes a lot of flexibility. There’s a lot of physicality in wrestling, too. You have to be athletic.”

3. Giving 110 Percent

Aliyah says she went above and beyond when training for her first wrestling tryout. “I would go to the gym every day,” she says. “I would go to wrestling training five times a week. I was eating the cleanest I’ve ever eaten in my life. I’d practice interviews in the mirror every day. I gave 110 percent to be ready for the tryout.”

4. Horseback Riding

Aliyah is a dedicated and accomplished horsewoman. “Riding physically strengthens the body, especially the core,” says showing producer Natalie Reynolds. “It’s a full body workout and helps to increase our balance and improves our posture. It’s likely that your posture out of the saddle will improve the more regularly you ride.”

5. Trailblazing Talent

Aliyah comes from a traditional middle eastern family, and is proud to represent her culture in wrestling. “I have a typical Arabic family,” she says. “We’re very conservative. I grew up in Canada, but I’m a first-generation Canadian. My parents are from the Middle East. We had strict rules. There were certain things I couldn’t wear, no boyfriends, strict curfews. They were hard on me about school. I had to get good grades. When I first started, they weren’t that pleased. However, they see the success I’ve gotten and are extremely proud of me. They call me every day, we have a close relationship. But I hope to be an inspiration to all Arabic females and young girls. It’s definitely the road less traveled.”

Aliyah is warming up in her bathing suit. In a new social media post the former WWE star, whose real name is Nhooph Al-Areebi, does a “warm up” by doing squats with Daryn Alexander, a fitness model, in her arms.
