4. Martial Arts

Sydney loves to fight for her body. She is actually an MMA fighter. “I’m trained in mixed martial arts,” she told Marie Claire. “I started when I was 14 and did my first competition at 18. It was a grappling competition against all guys a weight category above me, and I got first place. Those guys were probably saying, ‘Oh, we didn’t want to hurt her,’ but they were definitely trying. Everyone broke a sweat!”

5. H2O

Sydney prioritizes hydration. “I have never even tried coffee. I only drink water — for whatever reason, when I was like, 12, I decided I would only drink water and I just stuck with it. I love water, it’s my thing,” she told Bustle.

6. A “Hearty” Diet

Sydney fuels up with carbs in the morning. “I love a good bowl of berries and some eggs and a bagel,” she tells Women's Health. Chicken Caesar salad or a cheeseburger—“something hearty,” is an average lunch. As for dinner, “depends on where I am,” she said. “I love Italian... Italian's usually my go-to for dinner.”

7. Sweet Treats

“I'll try and eat healthy. I love a good salad. I love chicken, but I cannot refuse a good dessert,” Sydney told Women's Health. "I love my sugar. I love my candy. I love my cookies and ice cream," she explains. She also loves a pizookie, a chocolate chip cookie with vanilla ice cream on top. "It's my thing," she said.

8. Food As Fuel

9. Hiking

Sydney also loves to hike. “Monday hikes and tree climbing adventures,” she captioned a post. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

• Building stronger muscles and bones

Love them,” she says. “When I was in high school, I used to feel uncomfortable about how big my boobs were and I used to say that when I turned 18, I was going to get a boob job to make them smaller. And my mom told me, ‘Don’t do it. You’ll regret it in college.’ And I’m so glad I didn’t. I like them. They’re my best friends. Everybody’s body is beautiful. When you are confident and you’re happy within is when it really shows to other people,” she told Glamour UK. “I went through that process of covering my body up at such a young age, but once I became more confident with myself, [it changed]. I want to show girls that it’s amazing and beautiful and empowering to have the bodies that we have.”
