Lindsay Dolashewich is best known for appearing on the 42nd season of Survivor. She reached the final episode and finished in fifth place. Dolashewich recently went to Costa Rica for some hiking. She shared some highlights on Instagram, captioning the post, “Costa Rica rainforest has been on my bucket list forever- and it was amazeballs!” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Lindsay Dolashewich stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Snowboards

Dolashewich loves to snowboard. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself on the slopes. She shared these photos of herself and some friends in Whistler. Dolashewich captioned the post, “Whistler snowboarding trip dump!” She also shared this reel of herself snowboarding on the same trip, captioning it, “We were getting nuts on the slopes last weekend.”

2. She Strength Trains

Dolashewich shared this video of herself working out on Instagram. In it, she is seen weightlifting, which is a strength training exercise. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength training has a lot of benefits. “Strength training can reduce the signs and symptoms of many chronic conditions, such as arthritis, back pain, obesity, heart disease, depression and diabetes.”

Dolashewich is seen jumping rope in the previous Instagram post. Piedmont states that jumping rope has a lot of health benefits. “It’s an amazing total body exercise that engages all of the major muscle groups,” says Clinton Maclin, ACSM CEP-CPO, an exercise physiologist and safety coach at Piedmont Atlanta Fitness Center. “You can use it to warm up or as a stand-alone exercise, and it incorporates cardiovascular exercise and resistance training. You are guaranteed to burn more calories jumping rope for five minutes than you would walking on a treadmill for five minutes.”

4. She Eats Enough Carbs Before A Workout

Dolashewich is a registered dietician. She shares a lot of her tips on Instagram. In the caption of the previous Instagram post, Dolashewich talked about the importance of eating carbs before working out. “❌Fasting cardio is a no, no❌Working out on an empty stomach results in your body taking glycogen from your muscles and converting to glucose for energy. Basically eating away your muscles to fuel your workout. Carbs = energy. Fuel up with carbs before your workout to give you all the energy needed to power through your workout!”

5. She Hikes

As you can see from her recent post, Dolashewich likes to hike. Piedmont states that hiking has a lot of health benefits. “Going up and down hills gets the heart pumping, creating a great cardio workout. Like most cardio exercises, hiking helps reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and even some cancers. Hiking is a weight-bearing exercise, which builds muscle mass and helps prevent osteoporosis.”

1. Training Before the Jungle

Boatwright made sure she was prepared for the hardships of the jungle before taking part in Survivor season 11 in Guatemala. “I trained really hard before I left, working out with a trainer and really preparing myself for the physical challenges I knew I would face in the jungle,” she says. “I also worked on puzzles to prepare my mind and watched all prior seasons of the show and read books on it, as well.”

2. Puzzle Challenges

Boatwright says her biggest weakness when it comes to Survivor is doing puzzles. “I can be the first to the puzzle, and since I knew I was coming on, I've been doing puzzles,” she says. “Like, my eight-year-old beats me at puzzles. So I don't know how much I've improved. It's just because I've never had a passion for them. I'm so ADD and I'm just always on the go, I never sit down to figure those things out, so I've never had any interest in them. Since I knew I was coming back on, I've been working, working, working on them, so we'll see if maybe I have improved in that area.”

3. Swimming Model

Boatwright once took part in a photo campaign for Speedo Swimwear. “During my modeling career I did an international campaign for Speedo Swimwear that featured all Olympic swimmers—and then lil’ ol’ me,” she says. “I was booked because Speedo thought I had the physique of a swimmer. Guess I missed my calling in life! Maybe I could’ve been an Olympic medalist!”

4. Back On TV

Boatwright was thrilled to return for Survivor: Winners at War 29 seasons after winning in Guatemala. “I don't think, really, I've changed as a person,” she says. “Like, I'm still that same person. My values haven't changed. The only thing that's changed is becoming a wife and a mother, which I think really works great for helping prepare you for Survivor. Because just raising kids, it's a lot of work, a lot of dedication, and a lot of patience. I feel like I'm constantly hunting down hidden immunity idols because I'm trying to find a shoe or a sock or a uniform. So, I've had some practice there. Then, just in being married, marriage is a lot of work. It has great rewards, but it's definitely… you've got to work at it just like you do in the game of Survivor with your relationships you have.”

5. Losing 30 Pounds

Boatwright lost 30 pounds during the 2005 competition, which she made a point of regaining once she was back home again. “We had a wonderful cast. Unfortunately, since tribes swapped I got to meet some other people and it was really great fun as far as that goes, but those conditions were just brutal,” she says. “I mean, I lost 30 pounds. So, at 5'10" I came home 96 pounds. That's awful. Just diarrhea, we were sick from the lake water and we had to eat maggot-infested corn because maggots got into our corn and it was bad. Really bad.”

1. She Does Strength Training

According to Lindsay, you can do a workout anytime, anywhere: All you need is your body weight. She recently shared her beach workout with followers, and it consisted of a variety of simple by effective moves like planks, squats, situps, and running in place.

2. She Golfs

Lindsay is an avid golfer. “Guess my handicap,” she captioned a series of snaps from the course. A comprehensive review published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that golf's health benefits are extensive, including mind, body, and even lifespan. Benefits include improved longevity, decreased risk of developing heart disease or suffering a stroke, good mental health, and improved strength and balance.

3. She Refuses to Quit

Lindsay has a serious drive to succeed when it comes to everything from working out to her career. “You will never lose if you never quit..the 2022 season was very challenging for me physically. I struggled a lot with the car and never felt confident in my strength. Open wheel cars are tough, especially at this stage with high down force and no power steering. But I’ll keep pushing every day and never give up. Bring on 2023,” she captioned a New Year’s post.

4. She Lifts Weights

Lindsay is proof that lifting heavy weights doesn’t necessarily bulk you up. She regularly lifts as part of her workout routine. “Been working super hard off track to get stronger. My strength has been a big challenge in these open wheel cars this year but I can see so much improvement already,” she captioned a post.

5. She Plays Tennis

Lindsay is also into racquet sports – especially tennis. According to ACE Fitness it blends together cardio and aerobic exercise, as there is a lot of running around, and hand-eye coordination. "While tennis provides numerous health benefits—improved aerobic fitness and anaerobic endurance, muscular fitness (grip strength and endurance), flexibility, multiple skill parameters (balance, speed, agility and quickness), reactivity, and power—it also is psychologically demanding," they say.

1. Outdoorsy Culture

Scott takes full advantage of the beautiful New Zealand climate to hike and spend time outdoors in Mount Maunganui as much as possible. “It is just unbeatable in its beauty, especially looking down from on top of the Mount,” she told Bon Voyaged. “I also love Cathedral Cove in the Coromandel and a great hidden gem is a walk to Homunga Bay near Waihi.”

2. I’m a Celeb Training

Scott appeared on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here! in 2023 and says her training was intense. “My best friend has been like, ‘Now a lion’s running after you! Go, go, go!’ While I do these crawls on the floor,” she told News.com.au. “Then she’s like, ‘Now something else is taking you!’ While I’m trying to do pull-ups. Basically, we’ve been pretending I’m in the jungle at the gym.”

3. Food Training

Scott also made herself eat food she considered disgusting in preparation for her time in the jungle. “I hate seafood. And so I had to eat a mussel and then I had to eat raw salmon, which people seek out voluntarily,” she told News.com.au. “And both of those things, I was just gagging, retching, tears coming down my face. It took me about 10 minutes to get each one down.”

4. Rugged Beach Hikes

Scott loves the beautiful beaches of her homeland. “The beaches in New Zealand are all very wide and long and protected. You can't build cafes and restaurants on them so they stay very raw and rugged,” she told Bon Voyaged. “It’s a 4-8 hour hike that goes up and over Mount Tongariro volcano with other volcanoes right next to you. It looks as though you are walking through Mars but with tropical looking lakes dotted along. It would have to be one of the best day hikes in the world!”

5. Glass Half Full

Scott tries to maintain a positive outlook in life. "It's just my outlook on life is don't stress about things that you can't control because how is stressing going to help anything?” she told The Daily Dish. “So be happy and appreciate the things that are good and having a lot of gratitude," she said. "And then you realize that every day is awesome, you know?"

MMA fighter Aspen Ladd is ready to rumble—you can tell by counting the abs on her stomach. Ladd, 29, shared a picture of herself posing in red yoga pants and a purple shirt, showing off impressive abdominal muscles in preparation for her fight. “You can usually tell how close to a fight I am , based on how many abs I have 😂 the current answer is, ‘very close’,” she captioned the post. Here’s how Ladd stays strong, fit, focused, and ready for the ring.

1. Hiking With the Pups

Ladd loves to hike with her pups (and doesn’t mind doing some heavy lifting in the process). “We all need a little help sometimes 🙂 this is on today’s 11.5 mile hike. Kaia needs help to cross fast moving water like this ( she will be 14 this summer). It's a privilege to still have old girl as my adventure buddy and enjoying her wild self ❤️,” she captioned an Instagram post.

2. 5 Mile Runs In the Mountains

Ladd goes running in the Sierra Nevada Mountains with her dogs. “5 miles of running and a whole bunch of playing is good for the soul …especially on Thursday before evening training. Because Thursdays are ROUGH usually. Balance ⚖️,” she captioned an Instagram post.

3. Scrubbing Down the Mats

Ladd likes to cool down after training by cleaning the mat herself. “Rate our mat scrubbing skills,” she captioned a funny video. “This gym is a funk free zone 🙅‍♀️ it’s luck of the draw who scrubs them down after each practice ( usually the last ones in the gym) ….but I never mind and it’s a nice cool down after some real good sparring rounds tonight.”

4. Respect For Nature

Ladd is aware the mountains can be dangerous, always has her two German Shepherd dogs with her for protection when she’s hiking. “A beautiful 8 mile loop near my home. It’s always crazy to me when I see people out solo hiking or running. No dogs no other people, headphones in …just livin on hope 😂,” she captioned an Instagram post. “For example, just tonight in 8 miles my dogs alerted that there was some kind of predator near by on 5 separate occasions. Could be anything from a coyote to a bear 🐻 I never know until I find prints of scat . 2 weeks ago it was a cougar. How do I know it’s a predatory animal, you may ask? Easy , my dogs spend so much time out in the mountains with me that I know based on their different reactions.”

5. Recovery Workouts

Ladd switches up her training when to deal with injuries while still staying active. I tweaked my back pretty good at the end of last week, and it’s not quite up to chucking humans around yet 🤼‍♀️,” she captioned a video. “So my coach gave me a less body wrecking assignment to do tonight, and give the back one more day to recover.
