Sedona Prince in Workout Gear is "Still Working"

Sedona Prince is a basketball player who has played for Team USA, and she currently plays for TCU. Prince also has a large following on social media. In May, she shared a video on Instagram of herself practicing on the court. She captioned the post, “Still working… time to take back the crown.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Sedona Prince stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Plays Basketball

Playing basketball is the main way Prince stays in shape. Fitness Advisory states that basketball has a lot of benefits. “Basketball requires you to jump while playing, as well as running back and forth multiple times. In a basketball game, you rely on your body positioning and the ability to maintain that position when an opponent is pushing against you. This is why playing basketball can strengthen all parts of your body, especially your core muscles, neck, lower back, and arms.”

2. She Wants To Enjoy Herself

Prince shared what her goals are for each basketball game with The Cut. “It’s if I have fun. That’s my biggest goal in basketball, and it has been my focus for about the last year: just having fun with the game again, because I feel like so many people lose that and it’s such an easy thing to lose, but it’s the main reason why we play our sport. My biggest definition of success is that I was proud of myself and I gave it my all.”

3. She Takes Care Of Her Mental Health

Prince tells The Cut that she prioritizes her mental health. “So much of the game is mental and psychological, especially when we’re playing at these higher competitive levels,” she explains. “The people I play against, including myself, we’ve played so much and we’ve shot so much that it comes second nature; we’re not really thinking about it anymore, and it’s become unconscious, so when there are these ruts of bad shooting or performing bad, it is almost 90 percent of the time mental. Taking a reset, assessing what gives me stress around the game or in my personal life, and just taking a step back and figuring out what’s going on is the best thing, and then taking a deep breath helps me a lot.”

4. She Dances

Prince tells The Cut that she likes to dance before a basketball game. “I’ll dance. It’s always helped me get rid of the nerves, like shaking my arms out or just feeling goofy and connecting with my body. It sounds silly, but it’s really fun and it works. And it makes my teammates laugh a lot so that makes them relax as well.”

5. She Unwinds

Prince shared her favorite ways to unwind with The Cut. “I hang out with my puppy. He’s a little French bulldog named Auggie and he’s super-dope. I don’t really watch TV. I love to be outside. I’m a Texas kid, I grew up on a ranch, so being outside and swimming or hanging out with friends. I try to also include active recovery, whether it be yoga, stretching, or ice baths. Just something to help my body recover on those days off.”

MMA fighter Paige VanZant is used to dealing with heavy weights—but even though she makes it look effortless, her training is seriously intense. VanZant, 30, shared a video of herself wearing brown shorts and a black sports bra, pushing a very heavy sled across the gym with a smile on her face. VanZant is open about the incredible discipline it takes to train like an athlete and prepare for fights—here’s what her diet, fitness, and training routine looks like, and her best advice for anyone who wants to be strong.

1. She's Dedicated to Her Regime

VanZant is strict and dedicated to her workout regimen. “I’m in the gym every day twice a day,” she told Women Fitness. “Since I have switched over to professional boxing my schedule comprises of boxing every day, sometimes twice a day. And strength and conditioning three days a week. I do all of my training at American top team, a world renowned MMA and combat academy.”

2. Fighting Diet and Cheat Days

VanZant is careful about her diet, but makes a point of making her healthy food as delicious as possible. “Dieting is a huge part of being any sort of professional athlete,” she told Women Fitness. “My husband and I love cooking and we really enjoy making healthy meals together. I like to think of myself as a chef and have competed on many cooking shows. We of course have our occasional cheat day here and there. But once we have a flight scheduled it’s down to business. Then after we fight we go a little bit crazy and eat everything in sight.”

3. Intense Training and Relaxing Workouts

VanZant is active even on her “off” days, going on hikes to relax. “Every day is different, it depends on what day of the week it is,” she told Vogue. “We have lots of classes, wrestling, jujitsu. I do a lot of Pilates, yoga, CrossFit as well. I also try to include one relaxing workout through the week like hiking. When I gear up for a fight I try to cut out a lot of the fun outdoorsy workouts and do a lot more training in the gym. I do more cardio, and I run a lot if I can. I do a lot more sparring and more combat throughout the week.”

4. Fitness Goals

VanZant advises anyone wanting to get fit to start slowly and set realistic goals—you don’t have to work out like an MMA fighter to reap the rewards. “Just taking a cardio kickboxing class [can be helpful],” she told Vogue. “You can go into a gym and it’s all cardio-based and you get to learn a little bit of self-defense as well. When I started MMA, I got into the best shape of my life.”

5. Dancing With the Stars

VanZant loved her stint on Dancing With the Stars, as she has a background in dance. “Competing on Dancing With the Stars by far was one of the greatest experiences I have been able to take part in because of my successful MMA career,” she told Women Fitness. “I actually grew up dancing and had been away from it for the past 10 years. Being on the show helped me get back in touch with my roots. I absolutely loved my partner Mark Ballas. We are still very good friends and chat every now and then. I would love to be able to compete on the show one more time and redeem myself and my second place trophy. As a professional fighter I really want that first place win.”

Scarlet Stallone has become a breakout star, despite only being 20 years old. She isn’t just the daughter of Sylvester Stallone. She isn’t just the younger sister of Sistine and Sophia Stallone. But she’s also starring in the Paramount Plus series, Tulsa King. Stallone shared a set of photos on Instagram this week. In one, she posed in a pale yellow bathing suit top and jeans with friends. She captioned the post, “Rushing.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Scarlet Stallone stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bathing Suit Photos!

1. She Works Out With Her Family

Stallone has a famous family. And she likes to workout with them. In 2020, not long after her 18th birthday, she was spotted working out with her dad and two older sisters. They were seen working out with weighted bags. Working out with others can help you stay motivated, and having loved ones there just adds extra motivation. Family members can also help remind you to workout, and it makes it harder to cancel on them.

2. She Works Hard

Stallone and her sister, Sophia, work with trainer, Kevin Mejia, to keep themselves in shape. Mejia shared what it is like working with the duo in a 2020 interview with HollywoodLife. He says that the Stallones have a good work ethic. “Our sessions are filled with jokes and a good time, coupled with the great intensity, and they bring it every time we workout,” he says. “They conquer some of the toughest exercises in the gym with ease…I always remind my clients, as long as you bring intensity you’ll conquer your goal in the gym and that guides my work with them.”

3. She Does Activation Work

Mejia shared some of the exercises he likes to do with Stallone and her sister in a session. He says that to warm them up, he will have them do workouts that activate their muscles. “For a standard workout, we’ll start out with some type of activation exercises,” he says. “Such as bridges or monster walks, because a great workout always starts with a great warm up.”

4. She Does Single Side Exercises

Mejia tells HollywoodLife that he likes to do one-sided exercises with Stallone. “After activation work, we’ll go into single sided work like, ankle weighted rainbow kicks,” Mejia said, explaining, “This allows for a mind muscle connection, which a lot of people lack in the gym — but it later helps people contract or squeeze the right muscles.”

5. She Builds Muscle

Mejia likes to do muscle-building exercises with Stallone. He shared some of his favorites to HollywoodLife. “It’s a set or two of wide stance squats and chest presses into flies,” he explained, calling it “straight core work.” Mejia also explains why he likes these workouts. “Exercises like hanging knee raises are one of my favorite exercises to give them — and to most of my clients, because it lengthens the body and targets the lower abs along with improving grip strength.”

Jordynne Grace is doing a special dance for husband, Jonathan Gresham. In a new social media post the professional wrestler shows off her moves, while trying to appease her athlete hubby. “When he asks you to dance for him but you are a pro wrestler,” she wrote on the Instagram video. “Date night 💪🏾😅,” commented one of her followers. “Too cute,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. From Pro Wrestler to Bodybuilder

Jordynne recently transitioned from wrestling to bodybuilding. “I want to be the first pro wrestler to ever go to The Arnold,” Grace told Sports Illustrated, referring to The Arnold Classic. “That’s my dream.” Even she was astounded by her transformation. “I feel like the same person, then I look in the mirror and say, ‘Whoa,’” says Grace. “The weight loss has become noticeable in my face, and I never thought I’d have a six-pack in my life. It’s been insane to see my body change.”

2. Pilates

On her anniversary, Jordynne hit a Pilates studio. “@stretch_atl for an incredible stretch session 🔥,” she wrote in the caption of a post. According to research, Pilates exercises are designed to increase muscle strength, endurance, and flexibility, and to improve posture and balance. Experts maintain that it is a great workout for leaning out.

3. Lots of Cardio and Dieting

“Bodybuilding doesn’t go with pro wrestling. I feel so weak. You’re putting your body through extremely intense stress. It leaves you exhausted,” she told Sports Illustrated, adding that there is lots of “cardio and dieting” involved. “I can’t wait to see what happens,” says Grace. “This is something I’m doing for a specific competition, and I think it’s important that people know that. There is so much behind it. Posing, memorizing routines, it’s a whole different ball game. When it’s over, I can’t wait to eat a lot of food.” She added: “But look at me now—I’m on the stairs every day for 90 minutes, and I’m eating chicken and rice every day.

4. Her Body Is Changing

Jordynne recently shared a photo of her body changing, from March to July to August. “March - four days out from a bodybuilding show, strict diet + 90 min daily cardio for 12 weeks.

July - about four months of little to no diet structure, lifting HEAVY, 20-30 min cardio 2-3x a week

August/currently: structured diet for apprx 4 weeks, daily cardio, lifting 5-6x/week,” she wrote. “Seeing all these wrestling and bodybuilding shows going on is causing me elite level FOMO.”

5. Not Listening to Haters

“I’ve gotten relentless hate about the way I look on social media,” Grace wrote in a post. “I’ve heard I was too big or that I was too short—now I hear that I’m too muscular and I look like a man. I am here to prove that you can do whatever you want to, especially if you use those negative comments as fuel.”

WWE star Zelina Vega is showing off the impressive results of her intense training routine, on social media. Vega, 33, posted highlights of her life recently, including a stunning snap of her posing in gray sweats and a matching sports bra, looking strong and toned. “Thank you all for the bday love yesterday. Means more than you know. Never know what helps fuel a person to keep fighting. Or just to simply not feel alone. Love you guys. Now, back to work💪🏽,” she captioned the post. Vega works hard to stay strong and ready for the ring—here’s how she does it.

1. HIIT and Muay Thai

Vega does plenty of HIIT workouts mixed up with martial arts. “I workout probably, like, six days a week,” she told Muscle & Fitness. “My husband [Malakai Black] likes to make these, like, powerlifting routines for me and then we also mix it up with Muay Thai. So, it’s a lot of different things that I feel like helps me a lot in the ring, whether it’s strength-wise, speed-wise, so yeah, it’s tough but you gotta fit it in.”

2. Diet Advice From The Rock

Vega enjoys a vegan diet, and brings her own food on the road. “It is very difficult to eat though, I will say that, because you are just so busy running around all the time,” she told Muscle & Fitness. “Like even with [media calls], I completely forgot to eat, but I learned this from Dwayne Johnson: He had a timer on his phone that showed ‘OK, it’s time to eat’ and he would stop what he was doing and he’d make sure he gets his meals in, and then he would continue doing what he was doing.”

3. Video Game Star

Vega appeared in the Street Fighter 6 video game as a commentator, and would love to expand to other games. “I've always loved Mortal Kombat and Tekken 2,” she told Screen Rant. “I think what's cool about the fighting game community is that I think we just kind of support all games. It's not even just after one, that's all you can ever be. But also, I would love to be a part of something that has to do with Naruto or Demon Slayer or something like that, because I'm such a big anime head that I'd love to kind of blend those two. Because obviously, I've played Naruto and Ninja Storm, stuff like that. So in some ways, I'd like to find a way to blend the anime gaming space there.”

4. Puerto Rico Pride

Vega is thrilled about the increased diversity in the wrestling world. “It has always been important to me. I’m Puerto Rican from New York,” she told TV Insider. “We’re all very proud of who we are. My family, I’m proud of them and feel like I’m representing them. I’m also representing the culture while I’m doing what I’m doing. I want that to reflect well on all of us as Latinos and Latinas. You think of Eddie [Guerrero] and Rey [Mysterio], but I wanted people to initially, especially in NXT, to think of me. That was a huge thing for us.”

5. Pre-Fight Ritual

Vega has a moving ritual before she gets in the ring for a fight. “I have a moment where I talk to my dad,” she told HOLA! USA. “I call my guardian angels. I go through my list: my dad, my uncle, my grandfather. I mean, even my little puppy that I lost. So I get to talk to them and tell them to be there with me because, without them, I wouldn’t be where I am. And even though they’re gone, I feel them making sure that I’m safe in the ring. I always say, ‘Make sure I’m safe, make sure I remember everything, make sure that the fans love it.’”
