Shotzi Blackheart in Workout Gear is a "Queen"

Shotzi Blackheart is a successful wrestler. In May, she shared a post on Instagram celebrating her friend and fellow wrestler, Scarlett Bordeaux’s birthday. Blackheart shared photos of the two of them together. She captioned the post, “My day one! Happy birthday to the most bodacious babe ever! @realscarlettbordeaux looking through these photos gives me chills. There really isn't anything we cant do together. Your talent, intelligence, confidence and motivation absolutely inspire me. Thank you for always being my favorite shoulder to cry on. From signing to nxt the same day, to you signing my wedding certificate as my witness! We have been through so much and I can't wait to see what we do next! I love you!” How does she stay so fit? Read on.

1. She Swims

While on a trip to Mexico, Blackheart did some swimming. In this set of highlight photos she posted, she is seen in flippers and by the water. The Mayo Clinic says spending time in water has a lot of benefits. “Aquatic exercise is a fun way to focus on fitness in a gravity-reduced environment. The buoyancy of water is easier on the body and provides support for people with weakness, balance problems or pain. Additionally, the viscosity of water slows movement and provides resistance during exercise, making aquatic exercise a great workout.”

2. She Uses A Stationary Bike

To help herself recover from an injury, Blackheart used a stationary bike. She shared a video of herself doing so on her Instagram story highlight. Penn State PRO Wellness states that using a stationary bike is a great cardio workout. “Cycling is an excellent way to get your heart pumping. Cardiovascular or aerobic workouts, such as cycling, strengthen your heart, lungs, and muscles. They also improve the flow of blood and oxygen throughout your body.”

3. She Spends Time With Animals

If you take one look at Blackheart’s Instagram, you can easily see that she loves spending time with animals. Christian Health New Jersey states that this has a lot of health benefits. “Animals help many people feel at ease. Those living with anxiety or dealing with agitation caused by dementia or other illnesses can benefit from animal therapy to calm their nerves and promote relaxation.”

4. She Speaks Out Against Sexism

Blackheart spoke out about sexism in wrestling, particularly with intergender wrestling in an interview. “Number one, if you don't have Intergender wrestling on your show, if you refuse to have it, you're like, no, Uhuh, you are sexist point blank, because the same shows that will put 110 pound dude against a 250 pound dude won't book me against a dude who is about my size. And I find that absolutely sexist that you think that us girls can't handle it. So I just think it's a new age. Everyone knows wrestling is entertainment, so let's just look at it like that because let me tell you, I can entertain a crowd with a man on the other side of the ring and to tell me that I can't.”

5. She’s Supportive

Blackheart notably shaver her head, and she revealed to Wrestling News that she did it to support her sister through cancer treatments. “My sister was going through chemotherapy and she started losing her hair. She told me that she didn't want to wait for it to all fall out. She was going to shave it off. I immediately went to Hunter and was like, 'Hey, my sister's going through chemo. I want to support her. I want to be there for her. I want to shave my hair off too. Can we make it not weird and make it part of a storyline so I don't just show up one day with no hair', and he was totally for it."

Tiffany Stratton is known for her aggressive attitude in the WWE world—and she works hard to put her money where her mouth is. The wrestling star is all muscle, and one thing she never skips is leg day. Stratton, 24, shared pictures of herself posing in a pink sports bra, her blonde hair tied back in a ponytail with a matching pink scrunchie. “Buff Barbie reporting for leg day 🫡🎀,” she captioned the post. “Beautiful,” a fan commented. Stratton is a beast inside and outside the ring—here’s how she stays strong, focused, and ready for a fight.

1. Crossfit and Bodybuilding

Stratton has always been athletic and strong. “I used to be a bodybuilder,” she told TV Insider. “I did one show and won the entire thing. I used to do CrossFit. I feel like people are surprised at that. They look at me and think pretty blonde. I was an elite gymnast. I was on the national team. I just think people look at me and forgot what I did before coming into wrestling… I definitely feel like I have a chip on my shoulder. I feel people look at me and see just another blonde that looks pretty. I always deliver in the ring. I take wrestling very seriously. I take these premium live events very seriously.”

2. Sculpting Her Physique

Stratton got into bodybuilding after seeing photos of herself and being unhappy with her appearance. “I was kind of chubby in all honesty if I look back at my photos,” she said on the Out of Character with Ryan Satin podcast. “So I got into bodybuilding. That is exactly what I wanted. I wanted to be able to form my muscles to how I wanted them to look. That's why I got into bodybuilding and I went through a whole prep, a bodybuilding prep and that was life changing. I'm so glad I did that before I came to the WWE, because now I know how to get in shape for a big pay-per-view or just in general bodybuilding definitely taught me that and the discipline for dieting and stuff is on another level.”

3. Wonder Woman Dreams

Stratton has big dreams of becoming an action hero. “I would love to go into acting,” she told TV Insider. “My dream role would be some cool action superhero girl that does cool flips. That’s my dream role. Like a Wonder Woman. I’m a big fan of her. I was dressed as her for Halloween one year.”

4. Inspired By Charlotte Flair

Stratton was inspired by Charlotte Flair to go into wrestling. “I would say I was flipping through the channels. I came across a random Friday Night Smackdown and I saw Charlotte Flair,” she said on the Out of Character with Ryan Satin podcast. “I saw that she was blonde, she was buff, she could flip, she could talk some [trash], and I was like, that is literally everything that I can do."

5. Private Life

Stratton keeps strict boundaries between her personal and private life. “I still try to keep my private life private,” she told TV Insider. “But I’ve always behaved like a champion, even before I became a champion. I know how to act in public. It wasn’t like I had to change how I acted within the public eye. I was always very put together and never got drunk at a club and was acting crazy. So I’ve been able to avoid that.”

In the previous Instagram post, Sheldon revealed that she likes to use the leg extension machine to stay in shape. Asphalt Green states that doing this has a lot of benefits. “These machines provide isolation exercises for your legs.

4. She Lifts Weights

In the previous Instagram post, Sheldon is seen lifting weights to work her upper body. Lifting weights has a lot of benefits. ACE Fitness states, “Using maximal loads for compound (multi-joint) movements like the deadlift, squat-to-shoulder press, bent-over row or chest press can improve intermuscular coordination, which is the ability of many muscles to work together to generate and control high levels of force through multiple joints.”

5. She Does Short, Effective Workouts

When it comes to working out, sometimes Sheldon goes for ones that are quick and effective. She shared one of her circuits in this Instagram video. Sheldon captioned it, “15 Minute Workout & all you need is ➡️ 3 Exercises & 2 Dumbbells 😮‍💨Short and sharp workout when you’re low on time: Inch worms/ inch worm press ups. Squat to press. Reverse lunges. 10 reps on each (lunges 10 reps each leg). 4 rounds ✅”

Mercedes Mone is a very successful wrestler. She is currently with AEW, and was previously with WWE. She recently did a training session with the gym. Mone shared a video of it on Instagram, captioning it, “Always gotta stop by @hogwrestling to learn from @sensationalamazingred anytime I’m in New York! Thank you HOG Krew.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Mercedes Mone stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Wants To Promote Black Women Wrestlers

Mone tells The Ringer that she wants to promote black women in the wrestling world. “I was thinking about this the other day. It’s been our goal. It’s the goal. It’s the dream. It’s the standard. It’s the barrier that we’ve been breaking down, and it’s letting people know that we’re here to stay and you have to get used to that standard.”

2. She Puts Her Heart Into Things

Mone opened up about wrestling after an injury to The New York Post. “This was almost all taken away from me and I couldn’t imagine where I would be if I didn’t have wrestling. I would be so, so lost,” Moné said. “So for me, it’s really putting my heart, my soul, my body all out there all over again and not being afraid of getting hurt. That’s the biggest thing about having an injury is not being afraid of hitting these moves you hit before. You don’t want to get hurt again. I’m ready to put my body on the line. I’m ready to put my heart out there.”

3. She Works With Trainers

As you can see from her recent post, Mone makes sure to train. She also shared this Instagram post from the gym, and praised her trainers in the caption. “Thank you @flatbackstraining For being a safe space to do what I love most. For reminding me who da fuck I am. For welcoming me and making me better with every training session. For being a school that all wrestlers can be proud of.For going above and beyond for a young vet like this Brooklyn Girl. For being there for me when I didn’t know where to start again. And reigniting my mind, body, and passion. 💙It’s almost time.”

4. She Does Yoga

Mone loves to practice yoga to stay in shape. She shared these photos on Instagram of herself doing poses. Mone captioned the post, “The secret of change is to focus all of your energy, not on fighting the old, but on building the new.” Harvard Health states that yoga can help with your mental state. “Yoga develops inner awareness. It focuses your attention on your body's abilities at the present moment. It helps develop breath and strength of mind and body. It's not about physical appearance. Yoga studios typically don't have mirrors. This is so people can focus their awareness inward rather than how a pose — or the people around them — looks. Surveys have found that those who practiced yoga were more aware of their bodies than people who didn't practice yoga. They were also more satisfied with and less critical of their bodies. For these reasons, yoga has become an integral part in the treatment of eating disorders and programs that promote positive body image and self-esteem.”

5. She Doesn’t Pressure Herself

Mone revealed in an interview with The Ringer that she doesn’t pressure herself to perform well. “I don’t want to put pressure on myself because I’ve been doing this for 14 years. I have more excitement than pressure, but I am really nervous as well, just because it’s been a year since I performed, but being in the ring with someone like Willow Nightingale, I know it’s going to be absolutely everything I’ve ever dreamed of. We’re going to go out there and steal the show.”

Drea Wheeler appeared on the 42nd season of Survivor. She was a very popular contestant, and was even given prize money from Sia. Wheeler is also a fitness expert. In February, she shared a reel of what she did after being voted out of Survivor. In it, she is seen running and using weights. Wheeler captioned the post, “I’m often asked, what did I do as soon as I was voted out on @survivorcbs. Took a lot of tequila shots and then started my @bodyliciousbydrea trainings 💪🏾 OBVIOUSLY 🙄 LITERALLY couldn’t believe I had completely lost my 🍑 😳 and YES the #DreaApproved Booty Bands made their way to Fiji.” How does she stay so fit?

The Hospital For Special Surgery states that the elliptical is a great machine to use. “Elliptical machines are a bit like the Swiss Army knives of the gym.

Meanwhile, the arm attachments provide the arms, chest and shoulders with a muscle-building workout.”
