Serena Deeb in Two-Piece Workout Gear Says "The Wait is Over"

Serena Deeb is a successful wrestler with AEW. She also worked as a wrestling coach. This year, Deeb appeared on AEW’s Collision. In January, she advertised her appearance on Instagram. In it, she is seen in black workout gear. Deeb captioned the post, “The straps are off. The wait is over. Deeb’s Dojo is open for business tonight on @aew Collision!” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Serena Deeb stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Coaches

In an interview with Under The Ring, Deeb talked about the impact coaching has had on her. “I spent a few years coaching and it was a great chapter and I learned a lot. Going into that realm kind of teaches you all these other elements of wrestling that as a performer, as a talent, you don't really learn because it's so, like you are just so focused as an individual when you're a wrestler, when you're a talent. But when I was coaching, it was learning all these different elements and production and all the important things that come along with that and attention to detail. And it was a great learning chapter, but I've set it in several interviews. It's no secret the whole time I was coaching, I got hired as a coach when I was 31 and I knew I could still go and I didn't really feel complete with my career at that point.”

2. She Stunt Trains

Being a wrestler, Deeb does a lot of stunt work. In this video she posted on Instagram, she is seen doing knife work. Deeb captioned the post, “Big thank you to Jason Mello for teaching me some fight choreography and knife work. It was so bad ass to train with you!”

3. She Meditates

Deeb is a big fan of practicing meditation. She shared this photo on Instagram of herself doing so. Deeb captioned the post, “Reflecting on how far I have traveled and how strong it has made me. Envisioning my intent for tomorrow. I am present. Tomorrow, I bet on myself.”

4. She Does Yoga

Deeb does a lot of things to keep herself in shape. One thing she likes to do is practice yoga. Deeb shares a lot of photos on Instagram of herself in different poses. In this photo, she is seen doing a tree pose outside. In this one, Deeb does an upward dog or cobra pose on a pipe at the beach.

5. She Strength Trains

Another type of workout that Deeb does is strength train. She shared this photo on Instagram of herself pulling a weighted cart. Deeb captioned the post, “If people are doubting how far you can go, go so far that you can’t hear them.” The Mayo Clinic states, “Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age.”

Michelle Jenneke is a track and field athlete known for doing the hurdles. Jenneke has even competed in the Olympics. She also recently competed in Finland, and shared some highlights from the day on Instagram. Jenneke captioned the post, “Season best of 12.69 tonight at the @kuortanegames 😆 Great night with solid races from the Aussie contingent! Thank you Finland!!!” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Michelle Jenneke stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

Jenneke shared some of her favorite workouts with Body & Soul. She says that she does a variety of different things. “It’s a lot of heavy weights there, plus full body exercises and quite a bit of plyometric [exercises]. I start with heavy weights, and then I’ll do some lighter functional circuit, towards the end. All up, that takes an hour and a half to two hours… and sometimes when I finish a session I just lie on the ground.”

2. She Eats A Healthy Breakfast

Jenneke also shared her diet secrets with Body & Soul. She shared her favorite breakfasts for training day. “It really depends on what my training day looks like, but if I’ve got training in the morning (which I often do at the moment) I’ll have cereal generally before I go out and train. Then, I actually love having a Milo after a hard session – it’s got good levels of protein and iron in it – and then I make myself a second breakfast, which could be muesli with yoghurt or bacon and eggs.”

3. She Dances

Jenneke likes to dance before a meet. "The dancing preparation is good," Jenneke said to The New Zealand Herald. "People see me doing a dance on the track and it's part of my enjoyment ... I love being there and I love racing and that's how I express that. If you watch me during my warm up I'm dancing the whole way through it. I've always got music playing and I'm just really getting into it, it's how I pump myself up for the race."

4. She Swims

Jenneke loves to swim to stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself snorkeling in the ocean. Jenneke captioned the post, “A little taste of my amazing holiday in the Whitsundays last week 🌴⛵️ @suncoastcharters @hamiltonisland #gopro 🎶 Born To Be Yours - Kygo & Imagine Dragons.”

She Trains Consistently

Jenneke shared her training secrets with Body & Soul. She says that consistency is important. “I do three track sessions a week, and they can be from 2-3 hours each, which can be full on. You do some warm up, a hurdle session, and then a sprint session after that.”

1. Sweating For Good Headspace

Greene previously talked about her love for Rise Nation workouts in Los Angeles. “Mentally, for me, it’s so important. It really keeps me kind of sharp and focused,” she told Women’s Health. “I kind of alternate between doing the Versa classes and strength training and I’m waiting for the day that I can do them both in one day! It’s always that thing where, even when I don’t go to the gym, if I’m just sweating and being active – even if it’s not an intense session – I always feel so much better and things are much more organized in my head.”

2. Fueling Her Workouts

Greene eats to fuel her workouts. “I used to have to have breakfast, but it was, like, yogurt,” she told Women’s Health. “Now I have to have two pieces of wholegrain toast and almond butter, honey and bananas on top. That would bother some people because it’s got a decent amount of fat, but you have to recognise that it’s fuel; it doesn’t matter if I’m putting calories and fat into my body – I need it to do the type of strength training that I like to do.”

3. Postpartum Fitness

Greene was careful about jumping back into her workout routine after welcoming daughter Kingsley Rainn in September 2022. "I wanted to feel fully back into my body… I really wanted to focus on making sure that I gave myself enough rest for everything to go back into place, and made sure that I wasn't trying to jump back into where I was and hurting myself," she told PEOPLE. "I feel like there's this idea that you are cleared after eight weeks and you can just jump back in, and that is so far from the case. I think it's really damaging to a lot of people.”

4. Learning Self-Confidence

Greene has learned to become comfortable and confident in her own skin. “I don't know that I've ever met someone who hasn't had some type of insecure moment or stage,” she told HuffPost. “You're growing and you're learning, and some days are good and some are bad. I'm definitely the most comfortable in my skin than I've ever been. I understand that a lot of things aren't the end of the world.”

5. Gym Owner

Greene and husband Paul Khory opened their own gym NexGen Fitness in Sherman Oaks, CA, and she is thrilled her daughter will grow up being familiar with the place. “She was just running around this place that holds so much importance to all of us,” she told PEOPLE. “She’ll grow up understanding and have such a toolbox for mental health and physical fitness and reproductive rights, and that’s such a cool thing to be able to give all that to your daughter. It’s much more fulfilling to put your name and your face behind something that you truly care about."
