Pippa Mann In Workout Gear Says “I Get To Drive Race Cars”

British racing car driver Pippa Mann is poking fun at her job in a social media post. Mann, 40, shared a video of herself wearing leggings and a tank top, sipping from a mug while enjoying the fresh air in her yard. “Grown up job? ❌ Consistent income? ❌ Future planning? ❌ Financial responsibility? ❌ BUT I GET TO DRIVE RACE CARS!!! ✅ (Kids. When your parents tell you to get a real job, they’re perhaps not wrong… 😂😂😂),” she captioned the post. Here’s what Mann’s intense training regimen looks like.


1. Tough Training

Mann wants people to know how hard it is to control a race car. “Training to stay in shape for racing requires much more time and effort than I think anyone in the normal population realizes,” she told OrthoIndy. “The running joke about race car drivers of course is that we’re just sitting down, and how hard can it be? The first thing to understand is that you have a continuously elevated heart rate throughout the entire race. Think of the heart rate of someone running or cycling a two to three hour race and how fit his or her cardiovascular system needs to be to cope with that continued exertion. Then you have to add in high heart rate spikes to the equation.”

2. Cardio Sessions

Mann does lots of cardio to keep herself fit for the track. “Under these trying conditions it is vital that you are able to cope, react and make good decisions in fractions of a second to try and give yourself a good outcome,” she told OrthoIndy. “We do a lot of endurance style cardio training and sprint interval cardio training. Adding in reaction or balance work right after these big sprint cardio intervals is one of the ways we help teach our brains and bodies to react while our heart rates are spiking.”

3. Indianapolis Bike Rides

When she’s not spinning around a track, Mann enjoys taking her bike out for some exercise in the sunshine. “Beautiful weather today in Indy. Took myself on a little Easter Sunday bike ride for some ice cream! 🍦,” she captioned an Instagram post.

4. Weight Training

Weight training is an important part of Mann’s training, as it takes significant strength to drive a racecar. “I train at PitFit Training Indianapolis where we have weighted steering wheels, cross core trainers, a surge 360 machine, tractor tires and battle ropes to pound up and down until our shoulders feel like they are going to explode and our arms feel like they are going to fall off,” she told OrthoIndy. “We also work on grip strength and neck strength fairly regularly as these are both very important muscle groups for drivers.”

5. Kettlebell Workouts

Mann uses kettlebells as part of her strength training workouts. “Today’s #MondayMOOD. Brought to you by ‘People of the internet’ 🤣,” she captioned a post mocking society’s expectations for women’s workouts. “Hard work deserves to be rewarded 💪,” a fan commented.

Ramona Singer In Workout Gear Enjoys “Stunning Day In Southampton”

The Real Housewives of New York star Ramona Singer is enjoying the summer season at her house in the Hamptons. Singer, 67, shared a picture of herself wearing lilac tennis gear, posing next to a young instructor, her lush green yard in the background. “A stunning day in Southampton!!! Love rolling out of bed to have a tennis lesson on my court 🎾🎾🎾🎾,” she captioned the post. Singer may be off RHONY but she is still keeping busy—here’s how the reality star stays fit and healthy.

1. Portion Sizes

Singer enjoys plenty of protein in her diet and is mindful of portion sizes. “[Breakfast is] steel cut oatmeal, blueberries, strawberries (I love berries!), scrambled eggs or egg whites (sometimes I add in spinach or tomatoes to get in an extra serving of veggies!) and pair with whole grain toast,” she writes on her website. “When dining out, I like to split the main entrée with a friend (restaurant portion sizes are typically double what you should be eating) and then get a side salad full of lots of veggies.”

2. Personal Trainer

Singer uses the expertise of professionals for her health and wellness. “I felt it was important to hire a trainer; dieting can only do so much,” she told Allure. “I do like to eat, and sometimes I eat the wrong things. Sometimes I work out five times a week, sometimes once, sometimes not at all.”

3. Cardio Workouts

Singer ups her cardio when she wants to burn more calories. “If I am ever looking to lose a little weight in a short amount of time I will cut out all bread and increase my cardio during workouts,” she writes on her website. “I love core training as my main form of exercise, I love using kettlebells and bocce balls, as well as alternating planks. I typically do cardio on my core training off days, about 1-2 miles on the treadmill is great for me!”

4. Weight Training

Singer has switched up her workouts to focus more on strength-building. “As I got older, I started getting into free weights,” she told Allure. “I always look up to women who are older who look great. Jane Fonda was alway my inspiration for my body. She was one of the first ones who used weights. So once I turned 30, I started lifting weights, and I stopped doing as much aerobic exercise.”

5. Favorite Workout

Singer shares her favorite workout on her website:

3 sets of 20 reps

  • Reverse lunge and press with 10 pound kettlebell weight
  • Triceps push downs with 30 lbs
  • Use a 20 lb kettle bell swinging 20 times each arm (do 20 reps)
  • V’s with arms and legs on a mat with 15-30 lb bar weight
  • Planking on bosu ball with feet on the ball so they are raised off the floor for one minute
