Peyton List in Workout Gear Does Martial Arts

Peyton List is an extremely successful actress. She first became known for playing Emma Ross on the Disney Channel show Jessie. She then reprised the role on the spinoff Bunk’d. List also appeared in the Disney Channel original movie, The Swap. She is currently starring on the series Cobra Kai. List shared some of her martial arts training on her Instagram story. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Peyton List stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Walks Her Dog

List shared some of her favorite workouts in an interview with Forbes. She says that she takes her dog on a long walk each day. "I get up every morning and walk my dog for miles—just to get outside and move.” The Mayo Clinic reports that walking has a lot of benefits. “The faster, farther and more frequently you walk, the greater the benefits. For example, you may start out as an average walker, and then work your way up to walking faster and walking a mile in a shorter amount of time than an average walker, similar to power walkers. This can be a great way to get aerobic activity, improve your heart health and increase your endurance while burning calories.”

List tells Forbes that she does a lot of virtual workouts. “I need an outlet for my anxiety so I'd just jump into an online workout class and channel all of my stress and go as hard as I possibly can. I rely heavily on the energy of other people while working out so finding classes on YouTube and taking STRONG Nation's live virtual classes have been motivating me.”

3. She Eats Healthy

List shared some of her diet secrets with Forbes. She says that she is trying to eat better. “My diet changed drastically over lockdown. I started seeking comfort in food and was drinking wine every night with my pasta. On days I'm trying to stay healthy and feel my best, I eat eggs, avocado and protein for breakfast.”

4. She Works Out With Her Brother

List tells Yahoo Life that she likes to workout with her brother. “Consistency is something I’ve told myself I really need to work on this year because I feel like my body has been really up and down,” she said. “My twin brother, Spencer, we work out a lot together... I’ve had him my whole life as my best friend and my partner, so if he’s doing something, he’s dragging me along and then I’ll do it. I think finding a partner has been important for me. I’m not very independent.”

5. She Does Martial Arts

As you can see from her recent post, List had to learn martial arts for Cobra Kai. She talked about the impact it has had on her to Yahoo Life. “It has impacted my life and my confidence more than I ever thought it would. I usually have to learn different sports or whatever the character is into, whether it’s an instrument or dance, but this show has played such a huge role in my life. Just from playing the character Tory, I found my confidence as a woman. Walking alone at night can be such a scary thing, or not feeling like you can defend yourself, which I felt throughout my whole life, and just learning some self-defense does give a lot of confidence. I’ve heard of a lot of young girls that are starting karate because of the show because of Sam and Tory, and seeing that just makes me happier than anything because I think everyone should take it up.”

Caity Lotz is ready to go at the gym in her workout clothes. In a new social media post the Mad Men star shows off her fit figure in exercise clothes during an intense workout session. “LFG Feels good to sweat #workoutmotivation @thelabsunset @bodychemist,” she captioned the Instagram video. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Martial Arts

Lotz was a skilled martial artist prior to The Flash. “The weapons training adds authenticity,” she told Muscle & Fitness. “You [think], ‘Yeah, she could kill a few people.’” Studies confirm that the practice helps with balance, cognitive function and psychological health in addition to weight loss and physical fitness.

2. Muay Thai

She also told Muscle & Fitness that she likes Muay Thai and also practices “tricking,” a flashy training discipline that blends flips and kicks into a fluid movement. “It’s not street fighting, but it looks great on camera,” Lotz said.

3. Yoga

Yoga is another one of her go-to workouts, Caity told Muscle & Fitness. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”

4. Hiking

Caity loves to hike, especially during her pregnancy. Now that I’m (hopefully) past all the nausea and extreme fatigue, I’m loving being pregnant!

5. Strength Training

In her recent video, Caity does a number of strength training exercises on unique equipment. However, you don’t need much equipment to build muscle with strength 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

Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”

2. She Does STRONG Nation Workouts

I need an outlet for my anxiety so I'd just jump into an online workout class and channel all of my stress and go as hard as I possibly can," Peyton told Forbes. Her go-to workout? STRONG Nation's martial arts-inspired high-intensity virtual workouts, a bootcamp-style fitness class that combines body weight exercises with cardio, plyometric training and martial arts that is synced to original music that's reverse-engineered to match every single move. "It really helps keep me motivated and lose count of how many reps I’m doing," she says, adding, "it's flexible so I can take classes from instructors around the globe in any time zone."

3. She Maintains a Healthy Diet

List detailed her diet to Forbes. "I'm trying to stay healthy and feel my best, I eat eggs, avocado, and protein for breakfast," she said. Lunch usually consists of a grain bowl with fish and dinner, salmon with Brussels sprouts. "I also love the dark chocolate cherries from Trader Joe's. I usually change up my meals every night and I definitely have a dessert every day," she added. Her cheat meal? Waffles with Nutella. "I’ll make them any time of day!"

4. She Hydrates

Peyton also prioritizes hydration. Here she is drinking water in her swimsuit. According to the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine men should drink about 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day and women about 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids.

5. She Walks Her Dog

Peyton also gets her steps in."I get up every morning and walk my dog for miles—just to get outside and move," she has said, adding that she feels her "happiest" when she's moving and sweating. 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

Pia Mia is getting her sweat on at the gym. In a new social media post the 27-year-old singer shows off her phenomenal figure during an intense workout session at The Dogpound, wearing a sports bra and leggings. Pia is a regular at the celeb hotspot. How does the star approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Pia Doesn’t Diet

“'I don't diet. I do what I want and I do what makes me happy. I exercise, but if I want to buy an entire bag of Cheetos, I'm going to, and if I want a green juice, I'll do that too,” Pia told Daily Mail Australia. “I don't like restrictions, it's not the way to live.”

2. Boxing

According to Pia, “Floyd Mayweather saw my video and told me to go to his boxing guy in LA so then I got into boxing. I’m such a fan of him, I thought it was so cool,” she told BeautyCrew. She throws punches at the Ten Goose Boxing Gym in Van Nuys, California. “Therapy,” she captioned this video. There are many boxing health benefits, “because it constantly requires you to think, change your position, and change your posture," physical therapist Linda Arslanian, director of rehabilitation services at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's hospital tells Harvard Health."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.”

3. Journaling and Reading

Pia takes down time. Reading and journaling are two of her go-to habits to unwind. “'(Writing in my journal) makes me (feel) more secure in a way,” she told Daily Mail Australia. “Things that make me feel good (apart from makeup) are just relaxing, taking a bath, writing in my journal and just getting my thoughts out. It helps me to just kind of settle down and see what my goals are and what I'm going through, and that makes me (feel) more secure in a way.” As for social media, ''I'm on there just to share life and be positive and happy. I don't let (negative) things affect me. I do what I want and I do what makes me happy.”

4. Krav Maga

In an interview with Glamour, Pia revealed that Krav Maga, “an Israeli self defense and street fighting system,”is one of her favorite workouts. “I became so obsessed, they invited me to become an instructor when I was 16 years old and so I did and am very proud of that. I also take a lot of bag classes, in those classes you work on the heavy bag, cardio, and weight training. The best part of my workout is that I get to keep fit and train to protect myself on the streets at the same time,” she said.

5. Strength Training

Pilates spends a lot of time at the Dog Pound, where she does strength training workouts. In workout videos shared by the gym she does exercises like squats, leg lifts, battle ropes, and box jumps. 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

6. Pilates

“I think Pilates is really good, too. Working out, I think it’s important to make it fun - not just like ‘ugh I gotta go to the gym’,” Pia added to BeautyCrew. 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.

Tatiana Suarez is training hard in her workout gear. In a new social media post the UFC fighter shows off her super strong body in a two-piece set during a Sin City sweat session. “Two grappling sessions this Monday! Training to be the best every day! Let’s go 👊🏼🤼‍♀️,” she captioned the Instagram video and photo. “Champ,” commented one of her followers, 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.

1. People Tried to Talk Her Out of Wrestling

Tatiana felt pressured to stay away from wrestling as a kid."I was three years old when I started wrestling, and my whole life, people told me I shouldn't," she told Women's Health. "I would wrestle with their sons, and they'd be like, 'You're so cute. You should probably go do tennis.' And I'm like, 'I think tennis is great, but I'm wrestling, and I just beat your son. So maybe he should go do a different sport, not me.'"

2. Neck Injury and Cancer Treatment

In 2011 Tatiana suffered a neck injury and while being treated, doctors discovered a cancerous tumor on her thyroid. She took a day-by-day approach to recovery. "I had to keep my diet a certain way, and I had to do certain exercises for my neck every day, and they were so tedious and boring," says Tatiana. "Not only that, but I couldn't do what I love, which is to go live and do my sport." Focusing on what she could control and letting go of what she couldn't helped her get through it all. "It's always easier said than done," she says. "But it's a constant battle."

3. Proper Nutrition

She also focused on adding lean muscle while staying light enough to transition to 115 pounds (the strawweight division) when it was time to compete again. "I ate a lot of high-protein foods and healthy fats like olive oil on salad, chicken, steak, eggs, and avocado," she says. "I also incorporated fish oil, creatine for when I spar, and Thorne's Curcumin Phytosome, which helps a lot with my inflammation." She avoids sugar and processed foods.

4. Jiu Jitsu and Boxing

"I'm a great wrestler, I know I'm great at jujitsu, I'm great at kicking," Tatiana says. "So right now, I've been focusing a lot on boxing because I know that it's probably my weakest thing. It's also given me a newfound respect for boxers."

5. Training 7 Days a Week

Tatiana trains seven days a week. Her workouts include cardio, strength training, jujitsu, and physical therapy. "I can't wrestle yet. I drill it, but I can't bend my knee all the way," says Tatiana. "When I'm in [training] camp, there's not so much emphasis on cardio just because I do cardio throughout my workouts.”
