Nikki Blackketter Shows Off Hot Yoga Style and Shares Her Wellness Secrets

Nikki Bella is revealing a few of the ways she has upped her workout game – in her exercise clothes. In a new social media post the Total Bellas star shows off her amazing body in a two-piece workout outfit, flaunting her flat abs. “Had a Hella Good week,” she wrote in the caption, revealing her current routine. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. She Upped Her Water Intake

Nikki also revealed that she has made hydration more of a priority. “I up my water intake this week why you see my Brumate with me every second,” she wrote. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

2. Sauna

“Lastly, really focusing on doing the sauna thing more seriously. The more I research the more I realize how important it is for our health longevity. So sign me up for that!” she added. Should you take a dry sauna? While some claim the health benefits of saunas are plentiful, including detoxification, increased metabolism, weight loss, increased blood circulation, pain reduction, antiaging, skin rejuvenation, improved cardiovascular function, improved immune function, improved sleep, stress management, and relaxation, there isn’t a lot of research backing up the claims.

3. Lots of Workouts

Nikki mixes up her workouts. She does yoga and Pilates, she told Us. “I also love power-walking,” she adds. “It’s about having a healthy lifestyle.” Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

4. Biohacking

Nikki is “really big on biohacking — cold plunging and infrared sauna baths,” she told Us. 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.

5. Healthy Diet

“I don’t drink soda; I don’t eat fried food unless it’s french fries every now and then,” Nikki told Us. “I make sure to get protein and veggies in.” In another interview with the magazine she revealed that she doesn’t eat red meat. "And if I want carbs, I usually have them in the morning." She might have the occasional drink, but makes sacrifices for it. “If I want to have a glass of wine at night, then I know there is no dessert. We stay active, so drinking a lot of water and making those modifications and staying active is what keeps us in shape,” she told Muscle & Fitness.

6. She Is Doing More Pure Barre

“This past week I added in more Pure Barre sessions,” Nikki reveals in the post. “As I’m getting stronger the definition isn’t happening as quickly as it use to so nothing like Pure Barre to really help get that tone on! Also yes I was that girl that forgot her shoes at the gym 🙈 Wasn’t going to sacrifice a workout so made it work in my faux fur sandals… I mean lol,” she wrote.

Cheryl Burke has no plans of returning to Dancing With the Stars as of now, but she is dishing about her time on the show in a new podcast Sex, Lies, & Spray Tans where she interviews previous contestants and pro dancers to get the dirt on flings, heated arguments and all the drama that the audience didn't see. The 39-year-old believes the podcast will honor the show that she was a part of for 26 seasons, but isn't holding back on the secrets. "I do believe we owe it to the fans, first of all, just to celebrate the fact that the show has been on for so long," she told PEOPLE. "We wouldn't be here if it wasn't for the fans." Although Burke isn't competing for the mirror ball trophy right now, she does still keep up with her workouts. Here's how the dancer stays in shape. Read on.

Getting enough quality sleep and staying hydrated doesn't just help with weight loss, but also has many health benefits. To help ensure she drinks enough water and rest, Burke uses Fitbit. She told Hollywood Life, [I’m] "loving my Fitbit because it makes me want to reach my specific goals and it pushes you to do so along the way, all the while tracking my sleep, water intake, and number of steps per day, etc. Each workout is almost 60 minutes long."

Tiffany Cruikshank, celebrated fitness influencer and coach, is inspiring her followers with a holistic approach to wellness through yoga, stretching, and mindfulness. Known for her engaging yoga content on Instagram, Cruikshank recently shared a post reflecting on the depth of yoga, captioned, “Yoga is more than just what happens on the mat.” She incorporates a variety of techniques in her routines, from restorative stretches for sore muscles to creative poses using walls and stability balls. Her practice is deeply rooted in mindfulness, which she explains helps her stay connected to her “authentic self” in all aspects of life. For Cruikshank, it’s about finding balance and building a supportive practice that promotes both physical and mental health.

⁠

1. She Practices Yoga

Cruikshank naturally likes to practice yoga to keep herself in shape. John Hopkins Medicine states that yoga has a lot of health benefits. “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.”

2. She Practices Mindfulness

Cruikshank is a big believer in practicing mindfulness. She talked about this in the caption of her Instagram post. “When we approach life with mindfulness and connect to our authentic selves, our practice becomes part of everything we do. ⁠ It influences how we think, move, eat, speak, and engage with the world around us, supporting our inner selves and our communities. ⁠ ⁠This isn’t about perfection or intensity—it’s the small, everyday moments that define who we are. ⁠

3. She Stretches

Cruikshank makes sure to recover from workouts. She shared some of her favorite lower body stretches in this Instagram video. Cruikshank captioned it, “Sore hips and thighs? This is for you! ⤵️⁠Whether you're feeling the effects of a lot of squats, cardio, sports, or resistance training, this mini-practice is perfect for restoring your hips, quads, and IT band. ⁠I like to use it to refresh overworked tissues, and if you're already feeling sore, remember to go gently—no need for intense sensation. It can also make for a useful warmup before your sport or training session. Just 30-60 seconds in each spot is all you need so perhaps you like both before & after a high intensity workout.⁠”

4. She Does Poses On The Wall

Cruikshank likes to use different tools to help with her yoga exercises. One thing she likes to do is use a wall. Cruikshank shared some poses that can be done on a wall in this Instagram video, captioning it. “We don’t always come to the mat with endless time or energy—but that doesn’t mean we can’t create an environment of support.�⁠ That’s why I love using the wall. It’s there to hold us up when we need it, offering not just physical support, but also a sense of grounding and awareness in the body.⁠”

5. She Uses A Ball

To help stretch her hip flexors, Cruikshank likes to use a ball when doing poses. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing them, captioning it, “Believe it or not, stretching is not usually the sole long-term solution to reverse the tightness of our hip flexors from constant sitting… ⁠Because of our sitting lifestyles hip flexor tension (and pain) can often be better addressed with strengthening exercises.⁠ We love turning to asanas like pigeon to stretch and release tight hip flexors (hand raised ✋) because let’s face it, the feedback just feels so darn good… but why not layer on a little eccentric strength to make this the perfect, potent elixir for any long desk day? 😉⁠”

Brandi Rhodes is showing off her post-pregnancy body in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the former wrestler flaunts her impressively fit figure in a bathing suit while sending a message to her hater. “I read on here that I lost my looks after my pregnancy. And you know, they're right. I went from fine as hell to fine af. Ah, what are you gonna do?” she captioned the swimsuit snap on X. How does the former fighter keep herself in amazing shape? Celebwell rounded up some of her top lifestyle habits.

1. She Trains Hard

“I train very hard daily! My workouts are 6 days a week and incorporate weight training, interval exercises and plenty of cardio. I’ve found a balance with training, it’s something that challenges me, but also that I enjoy greatly,” Brandi told Athleisure.

2. She Practices Self-Care

Brandi also prioritizes self-care. “The number one thing I learned in wrestling is that no one’s going to take care of you as much as you’re going to take care of you. I knew everything I needed to keep myself safe—and I knew how to say no,” she told Women’s Health.

3. She Eats Healthy

Brandi eats healthy. “When I’m working out I love a good protein shake, my favorite is from a place called Kale Me Crazy. I’m also very big on tuna packets, because I can take them anywhere and they do the trick! Then I love almond butter. Put it on my toast every morning,” she told Athleisure.

4. She Does Yoga

Brandi owns a yoga studio. “I started doing yoga during the pandemic. I went into it thinking the practice would be the thing that helped me with my mental health. But it was the community of yoga that really filled me up,” she told Women’s Health.

5. Pilates

Brandi also does pilates. Here she is on a reformer. Why is pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic there are lots of benefits to the workout, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility resulting in improved overall health. It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.
