Shayna Bazler is one of the most successful female fighters of all time. She started out in MMA, before transitioning to the WWE. Bazler won the NXT Championship twice. In a recent Instagram post, she shared how she trains for fights. In it, Bazler is seen doing squat jumps with weights, swinging and throwing weighted balls, and doing leg lifts with a kettlebell. She captioned the post, “Fight week prep involves making sure your body stays together while you’re tossing fools on their head.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Shayna Bazler stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.


1. She Wants To Promote Women

In an interview with The National News, Bazler talked about the importance of highlighting women’s wrestling. "It is more historic then we are going to comprehend until later on in the future. I think it so important. We all know how important it is for it to be successful and I think the way we are now, with all the women focused on elevating women’s wrestling as a whole."

2. She’s Authentic

Bazler is all about being authentic. She tells The National News that this is why she has so many supporters. “Now with Evolution and seeing the change that it can affect. And then personally getting messages and being tagged in tweets by mums with their daughters and how encouraging it was and how I’m an inspiration. And that is crazy to me. It is something in the back of my mind constantly now. You do not realise the effect on change you can have by just being you and I think if there is anyone listening to this out there that matters to you can change the world simply by being you. Be authentically you. It is not something I went out of my way to do. I am just me. I love rock and roll and loved getting on wrestling mats since I was six and I have never been ashamed of it."

3. She’s Flexible

Bazler shared some of her fitness secrets with Muscle and Fitness. She says that when she’s traveling, she needs to be flexible. “The hardest part about the crazy schedule that we have now, is maintaining fitness. Let’s say we are on the road keeping a diet and [trying to get] workouts. A lot of times, I don’t know what a gym has to offer. Say we go to a city, Philadelphia or somewhere, I don’t know what equipment the gym has available. So, I’ll have an idea of what I want to train, like upper body, but then I have to have a very flexible plan based on the equipment that is available.”

4. She Ignores The Haters

Bazler has had to deal with a lot of negativity throughout her career. However, she tells Bloody Elbow that she knows how to handle it. “The onslaught of hatred that me and my friends got in MMA that also prepared us, because I think it was just the beginning of social media becoming this hot huge thing. Like you could finally start using social media to make your brand and stuff when I was first in the UFC. So, I think having all that happen then, on a not-as-visible scale—although at the time I thought like it was the whole world—I think it makes me a little less inclined to be bothered by social media today. Because I’ve been there, done that. What else is new, you know what I mean?”

5. She’s Consistent

Bazler tells Muscle and Fitness that one of her biggest wellness secrets is staying consistent. “Typically, if we are not on the road travelling, we train daily in the ring [at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando] and we have strength and conditioning sessions daily. Then [in NXT], we’re performing at least Thursday, Friday and Saturday in the Florida area. We are constantly on the go.”

Kaisa Keranen is getting her body ready for martial arts – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the fitness trainer shows off her moves, wearing an all-black exercise outfit. “Jiu jitsu prep,” 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.

Her Relationship with Exercise Goes Through “Seasons”

Kaisa adapts her approach to exercise regularly. “Just like my life, my body and my relationship to movement go through seasons,” she told Thorne. “I’m currently in an intense season in my personal life, so my movement is an outlet for me. Workouts are intense because I need a space to be intense and to get that out.”

She Works Out Smart

Kaisa focuses on working out "smart" – not hard. "I want to be moving and feeling good in my body when I’m 85 years old, so these days I try to remember it’s all about smart movement that is sustainable and that my body feels good doing,” she says.

Her Top Tip with Exercise? Just Start

The phrase 'Just Start' illuminated on a wooden background.​Her Top Tip with Exercise? Just Start!Shutterstock

What is her top tip when it comes to fitness? “My number one tip is to just start,” she says. “No matter who you are or where you are – just start! A daily movement habit will absolutely change your life – even just five minutes a day. So remember that anything is better than nothing.”

She works Out Daily

Kaisa exercises seven times a week. Four of the days she works out with a trainer, one day she films workouts, and one or two times a week she does mobility-related recovery exercises. Generally she sticks to strength training, power work, and agility. Her least favorite? Aerobic conditioning. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

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

Food As fuel

Kaisa views food as fuel for performance. “I am the queen of leftovers and could eat the same thing for an entire week straight,” she says. “Although I love food, I see it much more as fuel than something that needs to constantly vary or taste great.”

Kayla Nicole is getting a full body workout in – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the fitness founder flaunts her amazing figure in a flat belly baring exercise set while exercising. “Full-body workouts are really the cheat code, babe! One session, and you’re hitting everything—arms, legs, core. It’s like multitasking for your body, and the results? Chef’s kiss. Strong, sculpted, unstoppable—you in? Here’s a full body burn from @thebank_fitcamp. Complete 12-15 reps of each exercise for 3-4 rounds,” she captioned the post from her Tribe Therepē account. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Yoga

During an Alo Moves retreat in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, Kayla showed off her yoga pose. “t’s always such a treat getting to work out with their incredible instructors in real life - rather than from the training app like I usually do at home. Super grateful for trips like these that leave you feeling grounded, centered and refreshed,” she captioned the post.

Running and Jogging

Running, or rather “jogging,” is part of Kayla’s routine. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

Golf

Kayla loves golf. “Please feel free to save this under ‘athletic girls I follow.’ Thank you so much. 🤭🏌🏽♀️My kinda Wednesday, truly,” she captioned a post. Golf offers lots of benefits per the British Journal of Sports Medicine. Benefits include improved longevity, decreased risk of developing heart disease or suffering a stroke, good mental health, and improved strength and balance.

Pilates

Kayla does Pilates. Why is pilates a good workout? 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.

Strength Trains

Kayla strength trains, which she does in her recent post. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

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

WWE Hall of Famer Stacy Keibler embraces a holistic approach to health, focusing on both mental and physical well-being. Recently, she shared an Instagram video of her workout routine, captioned, “It’s not just about staying fit—it’s about unlocking your inner strength and living your best life. ✨💪.” The video emphasizes the importance of daily movement, with the text reading, “Never underestimate the power of moving your body every day.” From dopamine-boosting activities to clean eating and self-care, Stacy prioritizes a balanced and intentional lifestyle. Here’s how she stays on top of her health and wellness.

She focuses on dopamine

She looks for ways to get that hit of dopamine. “Taking in some sunshine when I can tops my list, tell me yours! I’m always on the lookout for good things to add to mine 💖☺️ #dopaminemenu,” she said on Instagram. Other ways to get that rush on her list include making the bed, meditating, calling friends, working out, lemon water, and taking supplements. According to the Cleveland Clinic, “dopamine is a neurotransmitter made in your brain. It plays a role as a “reward center” and in many body functions, including memory, movement, motivation, mood, attention and more.”

She swaps artificial dyes

In an effort to avoid refined sugars and harmful dyes, she finds ways to incorporate sweet treats into the holidays. “This year we’re swapping the artificial dyes and refined sugars for fun, healthier alternatives. This “candy” apple bar is made with sliced apples dipped in chocolate and caramel sauces that are free of harmful dyes, emulsifiers, and preservatives. Just chop up a variety of your favorite nuts and let the kids go to town. My kids definitely enjoyed it! 😂🧡,” she said on Instagram.

She’s grateful

She’s thankful for her beautiful life. “Another trip around the sun, and my heart overflows with gratitude. 🌙✨ There’s a quiet beauty in the passing time—a sense of gaining deeper wisdom, greater strength, and a clarity about what truly matters that brings everything into focus. I’m thankful for this life, my family, my friends and the simple things like feeling the earth beneath me and the sand between my toes. 🌊💛 Right here, right now, there is no place I’d rather be,” she said on Instagram.

She has blue spirulina

She incorporates blue spirulina into her diet. “Just stopping by to add a pop of color into your life with blue spirulina! 💙 Not only does it brighten up your day, but it also boosts nitric oxide, relaxing blood vessels and lowering blood pressure. And it’s anti-inflammatory powers can even help with allergies! 🌿,” she said on Instagram.

She does self care

She prioritizes self care and detox when it comes to her health and wellness routine. “Even when we prioritize healthy living, we can still encounter toxins in our everyday environment—whether it’s from air pollution, food, water, household products, or personal care items. While minimizing exposure is essential, it’s nearly impossible to avoid them entirely. That’s why incorporating detox practices into my wellness routine has been such a game-changer! I can truly feel the difference. It’s all about elevating my health from the inside out. ✨,” she said on Instagram.

Boxer Mikaela Mayer says "Loved the Lime Green"

Mikaela Mayer is a powerhouse in professional boxing, known for her dedication to the sport and her impressive accolades, including titles in the WBO and IBF. Recently, Mayer shared highlights from a fight on Instagram, sporting a vibrant lime-green workout set. She captioned the post, “Loved the lime green. Time to start planning the next one. Watcha think?” Beyond her eye-catching gear, Mayer’s commitment to intense training, recovery, and resilience has helped her build a career that’s as inspiring as it is formidable. Here’s a closer look at how she maintains peak performance.

She Does Intense Workouts

Mayer keeps her workouts intense. She described them in an interview with Equinox. “I work out four hours a day, six days a week. I have a two-hour training session starting at 9 a.m. I start with a warm-up before running intervals. My pace has to be fast and explosive. I’ll do eight two-minute sprints. Sometimes I do suicides—I’ll run for 45 seconds with a minute rest between, and I’ll do it 15 times.”

She Eats A Lot Of Protein

Mayer revealed to Equinox that she eats a protein-rich diet. “I eat every two hours so I never feel low on energy. My diet emphasizes a lot of protein and vegetables, and I eat small portions. I have an iron deficiency so I eat red meat about three times a week. I’m not big on fish unless it’s raw. I love sushi and eat it once or twice a week. I also eat a lot of chicken breast.”

She Learns From Failures

Mayer doesn’t let her setbacks define her. She tells Men’s Journal that she likes to learn from them. “Going into my first Olympic year, making it to the finals and then losing, and then losing by only two points … that was rough. But I knew I had so much more to learn. I hadn’t hit my peak yet, and the dream was still alive. When you have a dream, you have a dream.”

She Recovers

Mayer makes sure to recover, and shared her process with Equinox. “There’s an amazing recovery room with massage, a cold plunge, a Jacuzzi, steam room and sauna at the Olympic Training Center. I usually go after my morning training session. I do dry needling once a week. It’s not the same as acupuncture. The needle goes deeper and is attached to electric stimulation so it pulsates. I do it for about five minutes, usually on my IT bands because they tighten up a lot. It’s aggressive and leaves a little bruising, but it works.”

She Does A Variety Of Workouts

I strength train, focusing on my core and shoulders with push-ups, pull-ups and Russian twists. I do a lot of I’s, T’s and Y’s using the TRX and also for push-ups so I engage my core more than I would normally. My second two-hour workout is a boxing session at 3 p.m. I start with a 15-minute warm-up, which includes a series of rotational movements because my coach is big on getting full extension out of my punches. Next is two to four rounds of shadowboxing drills. It’s a time for me to think about my combinations and technique and drill them into my subconscious. Sometimes I’ll circle around the ring, moving forward, backward and side-to-side. All of those angles are really important when you’re throwing punches. I’ll finish the session with sparring or mitt work. I spar three times a week, usually six three-minute rounds at a time. Sometimes it’s technical work, and if I do a bag session, it’s for 10 rounds.

Bianca Bustamante is revving up her engine in 2025 – in her workout gear. In a new social media post, the racecar driver reveals she is taking “the next major step” in her physical journey as a race driver “and I’ve set the target high!” she says in a new Instagram post, filled with video clips of herself lifting heavy weights at the gym. “Never been more motivated in my life, it’s not physically easy for a girl in this sport, but I’m super excited to take on this new challenge and the next big step on my racing journey,” she added. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her top lifestyle tips.

Lifting Weights

Bianca spends hours at the gym where she focuses on strength training along with endurance, cardio, reaction time, and reflexes. “You know, to be a driver, it’s a complete package. It takes strength. It takes mental fortitude. It takes reflexes, smart thinking, and survival skills,” she told MEGA Active. “Sometimes it's for the body, sometimes it's for the mind. Nothing more peaceful than early sessions,” she captioned an Instagram post of one of her sessions.

Double Down On Training

In her recent post, Bianca reveals that she working extra hard at the gym. “I’ve been working hard over the years to build a solid foundation, but in 2025, I’ll be working with @j_w_90 and I’m doubling down on my training. Increasing to two workouts a day not just on lifts but aerobic endurance, as well as a better focus on nutrition and rest, in order to raise the bar to compete in the higher formulas,” she said.

Fueling Your Body With Protein

Bianca makes sure to eat enough protein in order to build more muscle and stay as lean as possible to meet the weight requirement. “It’s been a really cool journey seeing my body develop and transform into this whole different person I never knew I could become,” she said. In her new post she added that she is meal prepping. “I’m soooo all in that im even learning how to cook & meal prep better than ever before,” she writes.

Taking Cold Plunges

As for recovery, cold plunging is part of Bianca’s training regime. Limited research supports the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increasing focus, improving sleep, and decreasing inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes post-sport recovery.

Working On Self-Esteem

Positive self-talk is also important. “Of course, I put a lot of pressure on myself, but in the end, I always tell myself that as long as I give my best and I learn from it, any mistake I make is valid,” Bianca explained. “I always try to repeat that to myself that I am valid. I’m here for a reason and there’s nothing I would rather do than be here.”

Brenda Perlaza is flaunting her fantastic figure in a tiny bikini. In a new social media post the influencer, who calls herself La Barbie Negra, looks flawless as she poses on the beach in a neon yellow swimsuit. “#viral,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Wow Wow,” one of her followers commented, while several others added fire emojis. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Jogging

Brenda enjoys jogging. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

Walking Her Dog

She also takes her dog on long walks. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Dancing

You can also find Brenda dancing to burn calories. Dancing is an excellent workout for many reasons. It builds strength and promotes flexibility, helps you lose weight, and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop or die from heart disease than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues

Swimming

Brenda spends a lot of time in her swimsuit so it isn’t surprising she loves to swim. According to the CDC, swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, multiple studies support the mental health benefits of swimming.

Hydration

Finally, Brenda hydrates, especially after a long workout or sun exposure. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is essential for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature regular, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

She captioned it, “Kisses from the 305.” According to The Cleveland Clinic, swimming has a lot of health benefits. “Like other forms of cardio, swimming can help you burn calories and lose weight.

But that amount varies depending on your weight, speed and stroke.”

She's Vegan

Romani is open about following a vegan diet. She shares a lot of posts on her Instagram story highlights of herself enjoying vegan foods. The American College of Lifestyle Medicine states that being vegan has a lot of health benefits. “Overall, nutrition from plant-based diets is typically of higher quality than omnivorous diets, as assessed by the Alternative Healthy Eating Index (AHEI).28 A whole food plant-based (WFPB) diet is one made up of predominantly unprocessed fruits, vegetables, whole grains legumes, nuts and seeds, and excludes animal foods, with certain selective supplementation of vitamins B12. Sometimes D. Intentionally planned, WFPB diets provide sufficient nutrient intakes for all stages of life and can be therapeutic for chronic disease and overall health and healing.29 The plant-based dietary pattern protects against overconsumption of nutrients that lead to obesity and disease,30 particularly animal protein, saturated fat,31 trans-fats, cholesterol simple sugars,32 and sodium.33, 34”

Romani makes sure to work out on a regular basis. She shares a lot of Instagram stories in her highlights of herself at the gym. The Mayo Clinic says that regular exercise is extremely important. “Exercise can help prevent excess weight gain or help you keep off lost weight. When you take part in physical activity, you burn calories. The more intense the activity, the more calories you burn. Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if you can't find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none. To gain the benefits of exercise, just get more active throughout your day. For example, take the

She Supports Animals

Romani has her own charity, Help Miami Cats. She talked about how she started this in the caption of this Instagram post. “❤️ Guys!!!! I have always loved cats and had many growing up. When I moved to Miami Beach I met a great calico named Chacha and learnt that cats were brought to the city by Mayor Lummus … against rodents. Cats rely on volunteers for their food and water and there’s a huge amount of them. There’s a city program to Spay and neuter with the wonderful @sobecats ladies and the feeding is made official by a City Sanctioned badge, yet new cats keep getting dumped daily sadly and there’s a never ending amount of work, emergencies and so on. I was on a feeding rotation but during the pandemic I was left alone caring for so many as people left town or couldn’t afford feeding anymore …I decided to start my own non profit @helpmiamicats . We feed close to 200 and when Batman got paralyzed took him and other special needs cats under my care … @stevensachs69 with the cat room and the amazing people involved devote their lives to these special souls … My life has changed a lot too … way less spare time, way more sweat and tears and lost the person I had by my side who had sadly other priorities … yet gained so much love from these lovely creatures !!! If you can please get involved in any way … follow @helpmiamicats , share, volunteer, adopt … donate … Only together we can make their world a better place !!! And yes … just me feeding the kitties and talking to them … 🤷🏻♀️👀😆❤️🙌”
