Paola Mayfield in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares Fat-Burning Routine

Paola Mayfield is burning fat in her two-piece workout clothes. In a new social media post the 90 Day Fiance star shows off her incredible figure while giving her followers a glimpse into her exercise routine. “Just because I am a mother doesn’t mean I can’t wear a swimsuit or something like this! I am working hard to look the way I want to look,” she wrote in the video. “It's not perfect but it's the result of my discipline and effort!” she added in the Instagram caption. How does the reality star stay fit? Celebwell rounded up her diet and exercise habits.

1. Strength and Weight Training

Paola’s workout consists of weight and strength training exercises, including weighted squats, lunges, and hip thrusts. In another video she reveals that “cardio + resistance training” and a “low-carb diet” help keep her in shape.

2. Wrestling

Paola recently started wrestling. "I didn't grow up in wrestling. I didn't grow up watching wrestling and it's not common in Colombia. And that's why for me starting, I don't wanna say that I'm starting late because it's never too late to start something that you feel passionate about, because you can do so many things, but what if something else is what you are supposed to do? And I feel that that's me right now: Wrestling. If I knew about wrestling, I would've done this while ago, but the time is right now and I'm here," she said on The Wrassingh Show.. “I feel like when I get into the ring, I can be this person, I can be this strong person. I can do so many things in the ring that like me in my normal life, I wouldn't do.”

3. Training Others

After starring on the popular reality show, Paola picked up a new hob. “I'm a personal trainer but that is something that I do for people. You know, I love training people. I love helping people with their fitness journey,” she told The Wrassingh Show.

4. Working with Trainers and Coaches

Paola works out a lot and relies on others to help her. "You normally have three to four classes a week. Sometimes I have to travel to other states to train with other people, because it requires me for what I'm working right now. My current coach is Loki and he's very strict. He's very intense with his training. I'm always learning. Look, when you have passion for something, you just go and learn it and you do everything it takes to actually make it work and make it happen. And that's what I'm doing,” she said in the same interview. “So I have to work hard to be among the best ones.”

5. Vegan Diet

Paola switched to a vegan diet after having a baby, and claims it helped with gastrointestinal issues. "I started to feel sick because all of the junk food and the fast food," she explained in one of her YouTube videos. "My stomach was hurting, my stomach was always bloated, and I was feeling super super bad, so I went to the doctor.” After the doctor couldn’t help she did her own research and maintains that “avoiding eating meat” helped her “lose the baby weight, it helped me feel more energetic, it made me feel better.”

6. Boxing

Paola also boxes. “I love everything I do, and I do everything I love,” she captioned this video of herself throwing punches. 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.

Kim French is revealing the workout behind her amazing glutes – in her workout gear. In a recent social media post the fitness influencer flaunts her famous behind in a two-piece exercise set during a sweat session at the gym. “Spicy glute focused leg day 🔥🌶That triset will make your buns NUMB 😵‍,” she writes in the caption of the series of Instagram clips. “Listen ladies, I cannot make you get up and get your workouts done every day, but I can help with exactly what to do to get the best possible results for your efforts!” What is the workout and how does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. She Started by Cutting Calories and Running

Three months after having her second child, Kim decided it was time to get back into shape. She was 182 pounds, 40 pounds heavier than her pre-pregnancy weight and she was regularly, “binge eating just to get through the sleepless nights,” she told Women’s Health. “So I decided to cut calories and start running, which I had never done before. With my new routine, I started to see changes on the scale, but I felt miserable. I didn’t enjoy running very much, and I was starving all the time on my 1,200-calorie-a-day diet—but I thought ramping up my cardio and lowering my calories was the only way to lose weight. Plus, it was technically working.”

2. Her Husband Introduced Her to Strength Training

“When I hit 140 pounds, I was back to my more ideal weight, but was completely unhappy with the way I looked. I had lost a lot of body fat, but I was still wobbly—I was, as some people call it, ‘skinny fat.’ My husband, who works out religiously, convinced me to go to the gym with him. I had never been to a gym before in my life, but I agreed to go and just test a few of the weight machines. I was so nervous. I felt very intimidated and thought everyone was going to be looking at me, judging me for not knowing what I was doing,” she continued. “But when I got in there, I realized that everyone was doing their own thing and didn’t really take much notice of me. I tried a few machines and, to my surprise, liked it. I liked feeling sore, I wanted to tone up and get stronger, and I liked lifting more than I liked doing cardio—so I signed up and soon started going to the gym on my own.”

3. LISS Workouts

“In the beginning, I was following up my weight training with an hour of cardio. I wasn’t that strong and didn’t know exactly what I was doing, so I would just do the exercises on low weight and practice my form. After learning more about technique, I started doing just 30 minutes of LISS (low-intensity steady state) cardio after lifting weights,” she continued. “I liked doing cardio after my weights so I could use up the energy from my pre-workout meal on lifting, and then burn off the rest during a cardio portion. I usually started with heavy compound exercises such as squats, deadlifts, and hip thrusts, and then moved on to isolation exercises. I put a lot of focus and effort into my glutes, cranking out exercises like squats, deadlifts, glute bridges, hip thrusts, and using the hip-abduction machine. But I'd also deliberately mix up every single session to keep my muscles shocked and growing. After a few months of training I started to see noticeable differences in my muscles as they began to grow and tighten. My workouts now: Tuesday is legs/glutes, Wednesday is back/arms, Thursday is legs/glutes and Friday is shoulders. Sometimes this changes depending on my kids’ schedules, but that’s my usual routine.”

4. Amping Up Her Caloric Intake

She also started eating more. “One of the biggest factors contributing to my success was ditching my 1,200-calorie diet. It was a struggle to get my head around eating all those extra calories since I didn’t want to put weight back on, but I just had to trust the process and forget about the scales. I discovered that the more food I fed my body, the more the muscles would grow, so I kept upping my calorie and protein intake until I was consuming 2,000 calories per day—and this is when I started to see the real progress, especially in my glutes, the area I focused a lot of effort on,” she told Women’s Health. “One thing I wish I had known from the beginning is that weight lifting increases your metabolism, which burns body fat faster—I put myself through such a miserable time with undereating and doing hours of cardio and home HIIT workouts, when what I really needed to be doing was lifting.”

5. 2,000 Calories Per Day and Counting Macros

“Now, I still eat 2,000 calories per day over five smaller meals. I eat every three hours starting at 9 a.m. and make sure each meal contains a ton of protein, adding up to at least 150 grams a day to help my muscles repair and build. I track my macros to make sure I am getting the right amount of protein, but I am not too strict about it. If I am hungry and I want a snack, then I have one. I listen to what my body needs, and what it wants—there aren’t any foods I will never eat. On the weekends, I allow myself treats; if I want chocolate then I will eat it, but I just try not to binge, and instead indulge in moderation,” she says.

6. Her Glute Workout

“Are you ready to bake those cakes?” she asks in her recent post, revealing her go-to exercises for glutes:

• DB Deficit Static Lunges - 12 reps per leg x 3. “Adding the deficit creates more ROM,” she says.
• Barbell Sumo Deadlifts - 10 reps x 4
• Triset x 3

~ Banded DB Hip Thrusts x 10 reps

~ Banded DB 1/2 rep Hip Thrusts x 10 reps

~ Banded Abductions x 50 reps

• Smith Sumo Squats - 8 reps x 3
• Landmine Squat into RDL - 8 reps x 3. “Notice how I’m not fully extending up and keeping constant tension in my glutes,” she says.
• Single Leg Leg Press - 10 reps per leg x 2

2. She Uses Light Weights

Wearing a barely there red bikini, Moreau worked out using light weights and captioned her post, “Multitasking as a momma." According to Prevention, using light weights has the following benefits:

Throughout her pregnancy, the influencer did pregnancy-safe workouts and shared a video of them and a 21-day challenge she completed. “I am 39 weeks pregnant and using the @bodi app for my everyday workouts. The Bodi app is perfect because I can just open up my phone and do a work out wherever I am. I am able to modify the workouts and make sure I stay on track. Let me know if you guys try this work out!”

4. She Does Pilates

Wearing a cute pastel-colored dress with shorts underneath, Moreau showed off her Pilates skills. Pilates is a fitness trend that’s here to stay and one that should not be ignored. According to the Cleveland Clinic, Pilates has several health benefits, including improved muscle tone, flexibility and strength, pain relief, better posture, and balance and coordination. “The nearly century-old practice of Pilates provides a low-impact, full-body workout that could be a great addition to a well-balanced exercise program,” the site stated. “While the research on the health benefits of Pilates isn’t definitive, it suggests Pilates can positively impact your physical and mental health.”

5. She Plays Basketball

In addition to hitting the gym, Moreau enjoys being active outside and playing basketball. Over 450 million people worldwide play basketball, making it one of the most popular sports. Besides burning calories, it’s also a great cardio workout for your heart. According to StyleCraze, “Basketball is one of the best exercises for heart health! Because you keep moving, your heart rate increases. It also helps in building endurance, which is important when you want to make sure that your heart is healthy. It will help lower the risk of stroke and heart disease later in your life.”
