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.
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."
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
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
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.
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."
