Nikkita Lyons is showing off her nunchuck skills – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the fighter shows off her amazing body in a bathing suit. “Escape the ordinary,” she captioned the Instagram video. Girl. Why you so hawwwtt,” one of her followers commented. “Looks like someone is ready to beat up Surperstars in the ring again,” added the USA Network. How does the WWE star maintain her fit physique? Celebwell rounded up her top lifestyle tips.


1. Fight

Boxing and kickboxing are part of Nikkita’s job. She shared this video of herself sparring on the beach. "Born to be authentic. You hold the pen, so write YOUR story how YOU want,” she captioned it. She also shared a video of herself using different bags at the gym. "Why hit 1 when you can hit 5,” she quipped. Harvard Health maintains that boxing is a great way to build strength, improve balance, posture, hand-eye coordination, boost mood and endurance, and helps increase alertness.

2. Hydrate

Nikkita prioritizes hydration. “Before I eat 😡 …. After I eat 😇 lol,” she captioned this photo. 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.

3. Don’t Listen to the Haters

On Out of Character With Ryan Satin Nikki discussed how she handles negativity. "I might get hate comments, and I might get people that are saying, 'She's only popping because of this and that.' But in reality, I know that the hard work and grinding that has transpired throughout my life is paying off." She also embraces her buff body. "It's thunder thigh day. Thigh gap? It's thigh CLAP B***H," she captioned a video of her workout.

4. Dance

Nikkita dances her way to a fit figure, which helps build strength and promote flexibility, but helps you lose weight and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.

5. Strength and Weight Training

Nikkita also lifts weights. She recently shared a video of her workout, doing deadlifts with a barbell, kettlebell squats, and lateral pulls with a weight. She captioned it, "New beginnings. Me vs me." Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.

Nicole Fortuin is currently starring as Ririka on the live-action adaptation of One Piece and on the show Legacy. She has previously appeared in Flatland and A Cinderella Story: If The Shoe Fits. Fortuin just shared a new set of photos on Instagram. In one of them, she is seen in a swimsuit and snorkel mask. Fortuin captioned the post, “@carel_nel seems to think I say this all the time 🙄 and I know that I don't 🤣... this cast!! ... hearts and souls of gold. Everyone. je l'aime vraiment ici.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Nicole Fortuin stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Speaks Out

Fortuin tells Sarafina Magazine that she wants to use her platform to speak out about important causes. “I realized this small platform that I have does have the potential to reach people. I don’t associate myself with things that are not important to me on some level. I can only talk about things that are important to me. I recently did two PSA’s. One was for Brother’s For Life #RapeStopsWithMe. Everyone is aware of the violence that is happening across the world but in South Africa as well. I had always been really fascinated by what happens in people’s minds and in men’s minds especially because often I am really confused by how people operate and what makes it ok for them. I guess the throughline is my interest in other people but their campaign is about men and men making correct choices and being responsible.”

2. She’s Grounded

For Fortuin, staying grounded is important when it comes to being in the public eye. “I do feel like if I’m not grounded, I can’t be truthful in the work that I do,” she told Sarafina Magazine. “I know that for a fact because I’ve seen it. I’ve seen really great artists become really mediocre and boring and you realize [that] the line between real life and the work you do is thin. My commitment to being honest or emotive or touching someone else is so related to who I am and what I am doing on a spiritual level, on a financial level, whatever it is.”

3. She Swims

Fortuin likes to swim to stay in shape. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself in the water. Fortuin shared this set of photos of herself swimming in a pool. The Cleveland Clinic states that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Like other forms of cardio, swimming can help you burn calories and lose weight. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), a 154-pound person who swims slow freestyle laps for 30 minutes burns 255 calories. But that amount varies depending on your weight, speed and stroke.”

4. She Took A Social Media Break

Person,Using,A,Social,Media,Marketing,Concept,On,Mobile,PhoneShutterstock

Fortuin revealed to Iol.com that she decided to take a break from social media due to it overwhelming her. “Just this week I decided to take a break from social media. Precisely because there is so much information coming at you all at once. The last thing I remember seeing is the possible discovery of another planet? One that may have similar properties to Earth and is now being looked at as an alternative planet for human beings to inhabit? I am not sure if any of it is true (it's the internet after all) so please fact-check it before you tell anyone else about it.”

5. She Has Snorkled

Snorkeling offers a plethora of health benefits. Firstly, it's an excellent cardiovascular workout that enhances lung capacity and overall fitness. The rhythmic breathing while swimming boosts endurance and reduces the risk of heart disease. Additionally, snorkeling promotes relaxation and reduces stress by immersing you in the tranquil underwater world, which can improve mental well-being. It also enhances muscle strength and tone, particularly in the legs, as you kick to explore the underwater landscape. Moreover, the buoyancy of water reduces joint impact, making snorkeling an ideal low-impact exercise for those with joint issues. Overall, snorkeling combines fitness, mental relaxation, and enjoyment of nature, making it a fantastic activity for promoting physical and mental health.

Nikkita Lyons isn’t just a fighter—she’s a dancer! The WWE star shared a video of herself having a little boogie in the pool, wearing a hot pink bathing suit. “Magical vibes only ❤️‍🔥,” she captioned the post. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Lyons stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!


1. She Stays True To Herself

Lyons says the best advice she ever received from fellow WWE star Natalya Neidhart was to have confidence in herself. “To always stay true to yourself. What she said to me that really connected with me was she loved how I am being authentic and being my true self,” Lyons said in an interview on Out of Character with Ryan Satin. “She would tell me how with her and her journey, she was also told ‘you need to do this and that’ and whatever. But she was telling me to keep being me. That advice right there was kind of confirmation to continue on this path that you’re doing no matter how many – I might get hate comments, and I might get people that are saying, ‘She’s only popping because of this and that.’ But in reality, I know that the hard work and grinding that has transpired throughout my life is paying off. So, hearing that from a legend like Natalya is like a dream come true.”

2. She Loves To Box

Lyons is a big fan of boxing-based workouts. "This kind of boxing has many health benefits, because it constantly requires you to think, change your position, and change your posture," says physical therapist Linda Arslanian, director of rehabilitation services at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's hospital. "You're swinging your arms, moving the muscles of your arms and shoulders, increasing your upper-body strength. And when you're in the boxer crouch with a wide stance, with your knees slightly bent, you're strengthening your core muscles, back, and legs. There are studies that show trying to hit a target with your hands improves eye-hand coordination and possibly makes you feel more alert and attentive.”

3. She Drinks Tea

Cup,Of,Tea,And,Mint,On,A,Wooden,BackgroundShutterstock

Lyons enjoys drinking tea, which experts say has many health benefits. "There are really only three drinks that I ever recommend humans consume," says Dr. Andrew Freeman, director of clinical cardiology and cardiovascular prevention and wellness at National Jewish Health in Denver. "The best is water, and next would be unsweetened tea and unsweetened coffee. Everything else, unfortunately, doesn't really have any benefit, and many (when laden with sugar) cause significant harm. It makes my job very easy when people say, 'What should I drink?'"

4. She Loves Fruit

Lyons eats plenty of fruit, and particularly enjoys raspberries. “With a low glycaemic index (GI) and high fiber content, raspberries are a useful dietary inclusion if you need to monitor your blood sugar levels,” says registered nutritionist Nicola Shubrook. “Animal studies suggest that when raspberries are fed alongside a high-fat diet, they help lower blood sugar levels and improve insulin response. This may be because raspberries are rich in tannins, plant compounds that inhibit the enzymes that break down starches.”

5. She Meditates

Lyons incorporates meditation into her wellness regimen. “By observing your mind, you realize you don't have to be a slave to it,” says Emma Seppälä PhD. “You realize it throws tantrums, gets grumpy, jealous, happy, and sad, but that it doesn't have to run you. Meditation is quite simply mental hygiene: Clear out the junk, tune your talents, and get in touch with yourself. Think about it, you shower every day and clean your body, but have you ever showered your mind? As a consequence, you'll feel more clear and see things with greater perspective.”

Sixtine Rouyre has already made waves as a body neutrality advocate. And she can add Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model to her career highlights. Rouyre was announced as one of the 2023 Rookies this week. She shared a new set of photos on Instagram to announce it. In it, Rouyre posed in a tan bathing suit with shells. She captioned the post, “SURPRISE IM A 2023 SPORTS ILLUSTRATED ROOKIE 😈I’ve been keeping this a secret for what has felt like so long and i’m so excited to finally share that i spent my 25th birthday shooting with the most incredible amazing team in Dominica.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Sistine Rouyre stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!


1. She Wants To Inspire Others

Discount Universe - Front Row - September 2018 - New York Fashion Week: The ShowsGetty Images

In her introduction on Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’s website, Rouyre talked about wanting to inspire others. “I think it’s important that people get that representation in [the] media so that they don’t feel this heavy pressure to be something that nobody is,” she says. “Nobody looks like the girls in the magazine—even the girls in the magazine don’t look like the girls in the magazine because there’s so much that goes into it. So I hope people see themselves.”

2. She Knows Her Place

Rouyre wants to speak out about things, but she also knows when she has to sit back. She explained this in another interview on SI Swim’s website. “A lot of body positive influencers are still size 0, and it’s like, ‘O.K. babe, you can talk about loving your rolls, but you also don’t have any.’ And I realized too, as someone who’s a size 10, I still am not plus-sized, I am still not discriminated against in society the way that actual plus-sized people are, so it's not my place to speak on it.”

3. She Promotes Body Neutrality

Rouyre is an advocate for body neutrality. She explained what this is to SI Swim. “I discovered body neutrality, which is basically, instead of focusing on loving my stretch marks, I can appreciate the fact that my stretch marks are there because I am growing. I’m a growing person, I don’t stay tiny forever,” she says. “Or mothers who have stretch marks—your body created an entire human. That is insane, of course [your body has] stretched, like that makes sense, you know? And so we don't have to love them, we can just acknowledge that our bodies are there.”

4. She Cuts Toxicity Out

Rouyre is all about removing toxicity from her life. She encourages others to do the same. “Tell them to shut up or hit the road,” she says to SI Swim. “Somebody is telling you to be [insecure]. Get them out of your space and start following people who are going to tell you the opposite.”

5. She Swims

Rouyre isn’t just a swimsuit model. She also likes to go swimming. Rouyre has a lot of photos on Instagram of herself spending time in the water. She shared these highlights from a trip she took to Italy. In the first photo, she is seen going for a dip in the ocean. Rouyre also posted this photo set from the same trip, which included shots of herself in the ocean.

Bianca Bustamante is revving up her engine in 2025 – in her workout gear. In a new social media post, the racecar driver reveals she is taking “the next major step” in her physical journey as a race driver “and I’ve set the target high!” she says in a new Instagram post, filled with video clips of herself lifting heavy weights at the gym. “Never been more motivated in my life, it’s not physically easy for a girl in this sport, but I’m super excited to take on this new challenge and the next big step on my racing journey,” she added. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her top lifestyle tips.

Lifting Weights

Bianca spends hours at the gym where she focuses on strength training along with endurance, cardio, reaction time, and reflexes. “You know, to be a driver, it’s a complete package. It takes strength. It takes mental fortitude. It takes reflexes, smart thinking, and survival skills,” she told MEGA Active. “Sometimes it's for the body, sometimes it's for the mind. Nothing more peaceful than early sessions,” she captioned an Instagram post of one of her sessions.

Double Down On Training

In her recent post, Bianca reveals that she working extra hard at the gym. “I’ve been working hard over the years to build a solid foundation, but in 2025, I’ll be working with @j_w_90 and I’m doubling down on my training. Increasing to two workouts a day not just on lifts but aerobic endurance, as well as a better focus on nutrition and rest, in order to raise the bar to compete in the higher formulas,” she said.

Fueling Your Body With Protein

Bianca makes sure to eat enough protein in order to build more muscle and stay as lean as possible to meet the weight requirement. “It’s been a really cool journey seeing my body develop and transform into this whole different person I never knew I could become,” she said. In her new post she added that she is meal prepping. “I’m soooo all in that im even learning how to cook & meal prep better than ever before,” she writes.

Taking Cold Plunges

As for recovery, cold plunging is part of Bianca’s training regime. Limited research supports the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increasing focus, improving sleep, and decreasing inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes post-sport recovery.

Working On Self-Esteem

Positive self-talk is also important. “Of course, I put a lot of pressure on myself, but in the end, I always tell myself that as long as I give my best and I learn from it, any mistake I make is valid,” Bianca explained. “I always try to repeat that to myself that I am valid. I’m here for a reason and there’s nothing I would rather do than be here.”

Brenda Perlaza is flaunting her fantastic figure in a tiny bikini. In a new social media post the influencer, who calls herself La Barbie Negra, looks flawless as she poses on the beach in a neon yellow swimsuit. “#viral,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Wow Wow,” one of her followers commented, while several others added fire emojis. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Jogging

Brenda enjoys jogging. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

Walking Her Dog

She also takes her dog on long walks. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, 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 reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Dancing

You can also find Brenda dancing to burn calories. Dancing is an excellent workout for many reasons. It builds strength and promotes flexibility, helps you lose weight, and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop or die from heart disease than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues

Swimming

Brenda spends a lot of time in her swimsuit so it isn’t surprising she loves to swim. According to the CDC, swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, multiple studies support the mental health benefits of swimming.

Hydration

Finally, Brenda hydrates, especially after a long workout or sun exposure. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

The Mayo Clinic says that regular exercise is extremely important. “Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help you keep off lost weight.

She Supports Animals

Romani has her own charity, Help Miami Cats. She talked about how she started this in the caption of this Instagram post. “❤️ Guys!!!! I have always loved cats and had many growing up. When I moved to Miami Beach I met a great calico named Chacha and learnt that cats were brought to the city by Mayor Lummus … against rodents. Cats rely on volunteers for their food and water and there’s a huge amount of them. There’s a city program to Spay and neuter with the wonderful @sobecats ladies and the feeding is made official by a City Sanctioned badge, yet new cats keep getting dumped daily sadly and there’s a never ending amount of work, emergencies and so on. I was on a feeding rotation but during the pandemic I was left alone caring for so many as people left town or couldn’t afford feeding anymore …I decided to start my own non profit @helpmiamicats . We feed close to 200 and when Batman got paralyzed took him and other special needs cats under my care … @stevensachs69 with the cat room and the amazing people involved devote their lives to these special souls … My life has changed a lot too … way less spare time, way more sweat and tears and lost the person I had by my side who had sadly other priorities … yet gained so much love from these lovely creatures !!! If you can please get involved in any way … follow @helpmiamicats , share, volunteer, adopt … donate … Only together we can make their world a better place !!! And yes … just me feeding the kitties and talking to them … 🤷🏻♀️👀😆❤️🙌”
