Pia Mia in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares Leg Workout

Pia Mia is a successful singer who has gone from YouTube to international superstardom. She has released songs like “Bitter Love,” “Touch,” and “Do It Again.” Mia recently hit the gym and did some leg workouts. She shared some photos on her Instagram story of herself doing donkey kicks. In them, Mia wore a brown workout gear set. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see five ways Pia Mia stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Boxes

Mia shared some of her workout secrets in a video interview with Whistle Worthy. One thing she likes to do is box. The Southern Colorado FCA states that boxing has a lot of benefits. “An advantage of jumping into a boxing program is the balance and agility you'll acquire through workouts. Transferable to just about every other sport, boxing will help support the growth of body movement and awareness to provide control and a strong stance.”

2. She Strength Trains

In her Whistle Worthy interview, Mia revealed that she strength trains to stay in shape, as this helps her perform on stage. Harvard Health states that strength training has a lot of health benefits. “Strength training, in particular, has bone benefits beyond those offered by aerobic weight-bearing exercise. It targets bones of the hips, spine, and wrists, which are the sites most likely to fracture. What's more, resistance workouts — particularly those that include moves emphasizing power and balance — enhance strength and stability. That can boost confidence, encourage you to stay active, and reduce fractures another way — by cutting down on falls.”

3. She Does Squats

In her Whistle Worthy video interview, Mia is seen doing squats with a barbell. The Mayo Clinic states that squats have a lot of benefits. “The squat is a body resistance exercise that works the leg muscles. Specifically, the squat targets the quadriceps and the hamstring muscles. Strengthening these muscles can help protect your knees and boost your performance in a variety of sports.”

4. She Relaxes

Mia lives a busy life, which can be stressful. However, she revealed to Whistle Worthy that she likes to relax after a workout. “Normally after my workouts, I like to go someplace quiet and disconnect from people and social media, and just have some time for myself. If I’m feeling stressed, or have a lot going on, being outside in the fresh air just always makes me feel good.”

5. She’s True To Herself

Mia talked about her career in an interview with Billboard. In it, she says that she wants to stay true to herself, and its why she turned down a deal. “People might think that I’m crazy for walking away from such an amazing deal. But I was never hesitant because I knew that there is no point in me doing this, if the music that’s coming out isn’t my soul and isn’t connected to me and my life, because I’m the one who has to get up there and sing it. I have to perform it. I have to talk about it and it’s wrong to talk about stuff that I don’t connect with. So, I knew that it wasn’t fair to my fans who are supporting me and who believe in me. I talk to them on such a real level through social media, so why should my music not be the same way?”

Pia Mia is doing her hair in her workout clothes. In a new social media post the singer shows off her newly lightened locks – and her washboard abs – wearing a crop top as she tousles her locks in the mirror. “So beautiful,” a fan commented. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Tia avoids diets and indulges her cravings. “'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,” she told Daily Mail Australia. “I don't like restrictions, it's not the way to live.”

2. Strength Training

Pia’s main form of fitness is strength training workouts. In workout videos shared by the Dog Pound gym where she works out she does exercises like squats, leg lifts, battle ropes, and box jumps. Strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently, according to Mayo Clinic. Strength training may also help you:

• Develop strong bones
• Manage your weight
• Enhance your quality of life
• Manage chronic conditions
• Sharpen your thinking skills

Pia takes down time and loves soaking in a hot tub. 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,” she told Daily Mail.

4. Krav Maga

Pia told Glamour 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. Pilates

Pia also maintains that Pilates is a “really good” fitness method. “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 should you consider pilates? 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.

Andrea Shaw is tackling leg day – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the bodybuilder shows off her amazing figure and impressive strength during an intense workout session at the gym. “Another leg day in the books. Having specific glute and hamstring focused days is something new for me as of this past prep but I’m enjoying it,” she captioned the Instagram clip. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Her “Life Is Bodybuilding”

Andrea devotes herself to staying in shape. “There is a lot that goes into it,” she told BarBend. “My life is bodybuilding — almost exclusively for three months out of the year. I have to give it my best.”

2. She Trains Every Day

“I train every single day,” she said. “The goal is to work out seven days a week and to train each body part twice a week. The average person training is hitting a body part once a week. So, after four weeks, they’ve only trained that body part four times. If I train everything twice a week, I’ve hit that body part eight times in that same four weeks.”

On back day she focuses on her lower back, lats, and traps, while indirectly working her biceps. She does 10 exercises performing sets at a fast pace.

• Pendlay Row: 4 x 8-10
• Barbell Shrug: 4 x 8-12
• Barbell Upright Row: 4 x 8-12
• Bent-Over Barbell Shrug: 4 x 8-12

• Narrow-Grip Pull-up: 2 x 6
• Bent-Over Straight Arm Pulldown: 4 x 12
• Wide-Grip Pulldown: 4 x 12
• Face Pull: 4 x 12

4. Chest and Glute Day Workout

Shaw does two chest-specific moves on these days, including the side-by-side chest press. She also does glute bridges into the workout with dumbbells and five sets of farmer’s carry.

• Flat Dumbbell Bench Press: 6 x 8-12
• Side-by-Side Chest Press: 6 x 8-12
• Glute Bridge: 5 x 8-12
• Farmer’s Carry with Dumbbells: 5 sets

5. Leg Day Workout

On leg day Andrea starts with warmups and then moves onto doing 25 total sets of a chosen exercise.For example, she might go on the leg curl machine, select a weight, and perform a single rep each, rest a minute, then do two reps with the same weight, followed by three, and on and on until 25 reps. She ends up doing 325 reps. “When I finish that, my legs are humming,” she joked.

Kat Musni, a successful fitness trainer, is known for sharing her workout routines and mindset tips on Instagram. In a post from September, Musni revealed that she's back to enjoying leg day, stating, “It happened.

From squats and lunges to mindset practices like journaling and reading, she believes in balancing body and mind to achieve optimal fitness. Here’s a closer look at Musni’s approach to her favorite lower body workouts and how she strengthens her mental well-being.

1. She Warms Up

Musni makes sure to warm up before doing some intense workouts. She talked about this in the caption of her Instagram post. “I love warming up with some ground work to check in with my body and ease into moving before heading into the tougher stuff. I usually weave it and bo staff in between sets!”
