Quick!” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Olivia Ponton stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.
1. She Doesn’t Want To Impress Men

In an interview on HighLow with Em Rata, Ponton spoke out against the pressures for women to impress men. “From such a young age, we are taught that we are supposed to do the absolute most to impress men. I still fall under it. It's not like I've cracked the coat or anything. I still struggle with it. ‘I'm still like, oh, I'm single. I should go out and wear a cute dress and see if I get boys' attention.’ I don't even want their attention. I don't even like them. I don't know where my thought process is when I'm doing this. And I think our society has just normalized that girls should spend hours getting ready to go out and boys just show up and they're just so comfortable in front of whatever it would be. And I don't agree with it.”
2. She Does Ab Workouts
Ponton shares a lot of her favorite workouts on TikTok. In this video, she is seen doing ab workouts. The Mayo Clinic states that ab workouts are important. “Your core is the central part of your body. It includes your pelvis, lower back, hips and stomach. The stomach muscles sometimes are called abs. Core exercises train the muscles in your core to work in harmony. This leads to better balance and steadiness, also called stability. Stability is important whether you're on the playing field or doing regular activities. In fact, most sports and other physical activities depend on stable core muscles.”
3. She Dances
Ponton is seen dancing in this TikTok. Dancing has a lot of benefits. “One of the health benefits is cardiovascular,” said Kellie Grabfelder, DPT, physical therapist, tells The Cleveland Clinic. “So, it's an aerobic exercise which helps our body use oxygen, which helps increase our heart rate. It gets our blood pumping through our body and oxygen to our muscles. And this can even aid in weight loss for people.”
4. She Uses A Stairclimber

Ponton revealed on TikTok that she likes to use a stairclimber to stay in shape. ACE Fitness states that workouts like these have a lot of benefits. “Improving metabolic health in terms of lower risks of heart problems and other complications, also by definition improves fitness. You can feel your heart working harder and the fire in your lungs when you ascend stairs. And that’s provoking important changes in your cardiorespiratory system that will make physical activities, like running and walking, feel easier.”
5. She Swims

That’s thanks to the water itself, which offers buoyancy and resistance that makes it easier on your whole body than other forms of exercise…We’re not saying that swimming is easy (far from it!), but swimming takes much less of a toll on your body than, say, running or riding a bike. That’s because exercising in water lessens the impact of your body weight on your joints.”
