Volleyball star Kayla Simmons is giving fans a look at what her June was like, via social media posts. Simmons, 28, shared highlights of the month, including one picture of her wearing black yoga pants and a pink sports bra, posing for a mirror selfie. “June favs 💚🤠☀️🌊🌸🏐,” she captioned the post. The athlete and content creator is taking it slow due to a torn ACL, but she’s still saying active. Here’s what Simmons does to stay fit, strong, and the center of attention.


1. Squats, Squats, Squats

Kayla Simmons.1Kayla Simmons/Instagram

Simmons is always doing squats, sometimes adding weights and resistance bands. Squats are one of the most effective exercises for a strong and toned lower body. “One of the best things you can do is practice the squat,” exercise physiologist Joel Hardwick, ACSM EP-C, EIM2, tells Piedmont Health. “It’s probably the most functional exercise,” he explains, “and the one that you probably need most in your life.”

2. Swimming

Simmons loves to swim, and is passionate about conservation issues. The beach-lover frequently posts pictures of herself underwater. “Happy world oceans day🦈. Our oceans are threatened by pollution, overfishing & climate change. The ocean covers 70% of our planet, but only 8% is protected. Let’s all do what we can to make a difference 💙,” she captioned an Instagram post.

3. Weight Training

Simmons does weight training sessions as part of her workout regimen, which helps burn fat even when she’s resting. “The ideal is every other day, or 3 times a week,” says British Weight Lifting. “This allows your body to rest and ‘repair’ itself, and it is during this time that the muscle increases.”

4. Resistance Bands

Simmons frequently uses resistance bands in her workouts, which give her exercises an extra boost. “Resistance bands might not look like much, but they can strengthen your muscles as effectively as more traditional weights,” exercise physiologist Christopher Travers, MS, tells the Cleveland Clinic. “In many ways, bands put more tension on your muscles and work them longer during movements.”

5. Healthy Breakfast

Simmons loves a healthy protein-packed breakfast, with eggs, tomatoes, and coffee on the menu. “You might have noticed that eating eggs for breakfast may keep you feeling fuller for longer — that’s generally attributed to the high protein content in eggs,” says Keck Medicine of USC. “Whether you have an omelet for breakfast or a hard-boiled egg as a snack, eggs can help you stay satisfied after or between meals.”

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
  • Sharpen your thinking skills

Kayla Simmons is starting the week off with a swimsuit selfie. In one of her latest social media posts the volleyball star flaunts her amazing body in a black bathing suit with a plunging neckline. “Happy Monday,” she captioned the post with her followers. “Your gonna break the internet!” commented Nicole Pedra. “You are absolutely perfect,” commented another follower. How does Kayla maintain her physical and mental health? She abides by a few simple health habits.


1. Swimming and Snorkeling

Kayla is a water baby and can often be found in the ocean. Two of her favorite activities are swimming and snorkeling. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits of putting on a mask and fin may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.

2. Surfing

Kayla is a surfer. There are many health benefits of the sport including cardiovascular fitness from paddling, shoulder and back strength, which also strengthen from the paddling, and leg and core strength. “Once you’re standing up on the board, strong legs and a strong core will keep you up,” the Australian government’s Better Health says.

3. Body Confidendce

“Being a former college athlete & growing up around sports has taught me to push myself to the limit,” Kayla said in an interview. “College athletics was a great experience for me, but it also taught me some valuable lessons. I was told by my school administrators that the pictures I post are inappropriate because of my body, I was even asked to delete my Instagram at one point. I was torn bc I felt I couldn’t embrace my body & play the sport I love. I’ve since learned that you can’t let other people affect how you feel about yourself.” She added to The Post in July 2019 that she hopes younger fans “know that it’s okay to just be yourself and feel confident.”

4. Hiking

Kayla also enjoys hiking. “Hawaii has my heart,” she captioned this photo from one of her hikes. “Hiking is one of the best ways to get exercise. No matter what type of trail you find yourself on, hiking is a great whole-body workout—from head to toe and everything in between,” says the National Parks Service. Some of the physical benefits include building stronger muscles and bones, improving your sense of balance, improving your heart health, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems. It also offers many mental health benefits, according to a Stanford University study.

5. An “All Natural” Body

Simmons, who has been dubbed the “world’s sexiest volleyball player,” addressed plastic surgery rumors during a Q&A on YouTube. “I got zero silicone. I’m all natural, I’m sick of answering that one, but yeah,” Simmons responded when asked, “How much silicone did you get?”

Julia Bergmann is not just a volleyball star—she’s a powerhouse on and off the court. Known for her standout performances at Georgia Tech and now as a key player for the Brazil national team, Bergmann has captivated fans worldwide with her athletic prowess and infectious enthusiasm. Last month, she treated her Instagram followers to some thrilling game-day highlights, showcasing her determination with the caption, “Game faces for game day.” But her strength isn’t just about skill; it’s built on a disciplined lifestyle. From intense volleyball matches to strength training and enjoying fresh, nutrient-packed meals, Bergmann’s approach to fitness is both practical and impressive. Here’s how the Brazilian sensation maintains peak performance while balancing her love for travel and living life to the fullest.

She Plays Volleyball, Naturally

Volleyball is the main way Bergmann keeps herself in shape. According to USA Volleyball, the sport has a lot of mental benefits. “Like all sports, volleyball allows athletes to experience success, and it allows athletes to experience struggle. Struggle teaches athletes to learn problem-solving on their own, to look within for answers and fixes. With so much of sport being mental, volleyball athletes can build their mental fortitude, which will provide benefits in sport and other aspects of life.”

She Lifts Weights

Bergmann shared this video on YouTube of a typical day in her life while she attended Georgia Tech. In it, she is seen lifting weights. According to ACE Fitness, lifting weights has a lot of health benefits. “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”

She Gets Vitamin D From the Sun

Being outdoors on the volleyball court means Julia gets plenty of sun exposure, a natural source of vitamin D. According to the Cleveland Clinic, vitamin D supports bone health, boosts immunity, and enhances muscle function. Spending time in the sun can also elevate mood, helping athletes like Bergmann stay mentally strong during intense training and competitions.

She Travels

When she’s not on the court, Bergmann takes time to explore new places, as seen in her photo from Montenegro. Travel isn’t just for fun—it has real health perks. According to research, it can reduce stress, improve cognitive flexibility, and enhance creativity. For Bergmann, travel likely provides a mental reset and broadens her perspectives, fueling her passion for life and sport.

She Eats Fresh Ingredients

Bergmann’s love for wholesome, fresh food is evident in her posts, like the flatbread pizza she enjoyed on her 23rd birthday. Nutrition experts say that eating fresh, minimally processed ingredients can provide the body with essential vitamins and nutrients while reducing inflammation. For an elite athlete like Bergmann, this kind of diet supports energy levels, recovery, and overall health, making it a cornerstone of her fitness routine.

Sarah Pavan is a former beach volleyball player and fitness teacher. She recently announced her retirement from the sport. Pavan thanked her fans for all their supportive messages and announced her career goals in an Instagram post caption. “Thank you to everyone who took time to reach out following my retirement announcement. I am overwhelmed (in the best way, of course) at all of the memories, stories, and words of encouragement and support that were shared. It means so much to me 🥹❤️Many of you were asking, ‘What’s next?’ Volleyball has given me so much and continues to bring joy to my life, so I definitely plan to stay connected to the sport. I will continue to manage my consultancy, Next LVL Consulting, which supports young volleyball athletes looking to play in university. I will also maintain my online channels that I started during the pandemic, as those communities mean so much to me. I am hoping to pursue a career in sports media and broadcasting in order to share my knowledge and insights about the game as a host or analyst. I have taken the first steps in doing that with my new podcast, @volleytalk_podcast so be sure to check it out! You will definitely continue to see me around the volleyball world, just in a different way than we are used to 😊”


1. She Enjoys Working Out

One of Pavan’s fitness secrets? She actually enjoys hitting the gym for a sweat session. She opened up about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Sweat is my medicine, whether my struggle is physical, mental, or emotional. No matter what I’m going through, a good workout is always one of my first steps to move through it and feel more like myself.”

2. She Lifts Weights

In the previous Instagram post, Pavan is seen lifting a barbell. Using weights in exercise has a lot of benefits. ACE Fitness states, “Lifting heavy weights elevates levels of anabolic hormones—specifically testosterone, growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1)—which are used to repair muscle fibers damaged during exercise. This helps the muscle fibers to become thicker and capable of generating higher levels of force.”

3. She Hikes

Pavan enjoys going for hikes to keep herself in shape. She shared these photos on Instagram of herself hiking the Gros Piton Point. Pavan captioned the post, “Gros Piton hike. 2,000 feet of elevation in 2 km 🥵💪🏻If Oprah says something is a must-do, you have to listen! We are so glad we did… it was well worth it!”

4. She Plays Pickleball

Another sport that Pavan enjoys playing is pickleball. She shared this photo of herself on the court on her Instagram. Pavan captioned the post, “A little time off the sand means active recovery, including pickleball and @kttape Recovery+ Recovery Patches! Pickleball makes my soul happy (I love cross-training with different sports) and my recovery patches keep my aches and pains happy! It’s a win-win 😉”

5. She Loves Yoga

Pavan likes to practice yoga to keep herself in shape. She shared this photo on Instagram of herself doing a pose on the beach. Harvard Health states that yoga has a lot of health benefits. “Several small studies have found yoga to have a positive effect on cardiovascular risk factors: it helped lower blood pressure in people who have hypertension. It's likely that the yoga restores ‘baroreceptor sensitivity.’ This helps the body senses imbalances in blood pressure and maintain balance.”

Ana Zelu is a professional model and social media influencer. She is known for her content in nature. Zelu recently shared a post on Instagram of herself on a surfboard in the ocean. She captioned it, “Yesterday was such a fun shoot, I just had to share these with you 🤍 🛥️But picture number #4?? That photobomb totally got me 😂 Which picture is your favorite ?🌊”

She Swims

As you can see from her post, Zelu likes to swim. The Mayo Clinic states that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Swimming is often touted as a great workout for all ages, offering benefits not only for the body, but also for the mind. As a form of exercise, swimming keeps your heart rate up and builds muscle strength. It also can be a great form of stress relief.”

She Doesn't Compare Herself to Others

Zelu shares a lot of her thoughts on Instagram. In this post, she talked about no longer comparing herself to others. “Dear Diary 💭📝, Today’s contemplation led me to a profound understanding of the detrimental impact comparison has on our lives. It’s like a silent intruder, subtly creeping into our thoughts and poisoning our perception of ourselves and others. It’s a universal struggle, one that weighs heavily on the hearts of many. I’ve come to realize that comparison is the ultimate thief of joy. It robs us of our ability to appreciate our own journey and achievements, as we constantly measure ourselves against an idealized version of others. I’ve resolved to break free from its grasp. We should choose to celebrate our own unique path, recognizing that each step forward is a triumph in itself. Rather than fixating on external benchmarks set by others, I’m focusing on personal growth and development. Whether it’s through learning new skills, cultivating gratitude, or simply practicing self-compassion, every effort counts.”

She Hikes

Zelu is seen on a hike in the previous Instagram post. Harvard Health states that hiking is very beneficial. “Like brisk walking, hiking is a good way to improve your cardiovascular fitness, particularly if your route includes some hills, which will force your heart to work harder. Taking a hike on the slightly uneven surface of a trail also provides a natural way to engage the core muscles in your torso and to hone your balance skills.”

She’s Resilient

Resilience is another important thing to Zelu. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Dear Diary 💭📝, I witnessed something truly remarkable that touched my heart deeply. It’s amazing how people can go through the toughest storms in life and yet remain gentle, patient, and kind. I saw someone who faced challenges that would break most people, yet they chose to respond with grace and humility. Their ability to stay calm and compassionate in the face of adversity is nothing short of admirable. It made me realize the beauty of resilience – the strength to keep going even when life throws its hardest punches. These individuals not only endure the storms but also emerge from them with a spirit that shines brighter than before. Their example reminds me of the power of kindness and the importance of staying true to oneself, even in the darkest of times. It’s a reminder that even in the midst of chaos, there is beauty to be found 💕🫶”

She’s Accepted Herself

Zelu talked about the importance of acceptance in this Instagram post’s caption. “Dear Diary 💭📝, Today has been a rollercoaster of emotions, but amidst it all, I feel like I’ve taken a step closer to the right direction. Letting go of the past is like shedding a heavy coat I’ve been carrying for far too long. It’s not easy to release the memories, the pain, the regrets, but today, I made a choice to loosen the grip they had on me. It’s like taking a deep breath after being underwater for too long—refreshing and liberating. Forgiving myself has been a journey filled with tears and moments of self-doubt. But today, I finally understood that I deserve the same forgiveness and understanding I give to others. It’s like giving myself a warm hug, wrapping myself in kindness and acceptance.”

Mica Viciconte is a TV personality. She is known for participating in Combate Argentina. A few weeks ago, Viciconte took a beach vacation in Mexico. She shared some highlights of her trip on Instagram. In them, Viciconte posed in different swimsuits. She captioned the post, “A bit of ☀️ over here 👈”

So hopefully you can start moving your body little by little and eat a little better and obviously enjoy something delicious on the weekends 😋.”

She Does Squats

In the previous Instagram video, Viciconte is seen doing squats. Allina Health reports that squats are very beneficial to do. “The squat is one of the all-around best exercises to do for your lower body. It strengthens and tones muscles in your thighs, butt and calves and improves posture, balance, flexibility and inner core strength. Squatting also improves bone mineral density to keep your bones strong. Include squats in your exercise routine two to three days a week to reap the benefits from this dynamite move.”

She Does Hip Thrusts

Gymless states that the exercise has a lot of health benefits. “Hip thrusts, as a compound movement, aid in increasing lower body strength and power, enhancing athletic abilities such as running, jumping, and powerlifting. By strengthening the posterior chain muscles, you can enhance your posture and lower the risk of back pain and muscle strain. Strong glutes and hamstrings contribute to hip and knee stability, minimizing injury risks in sports and daily life.”

She Uses A Stationary Bike

Viciconte is seen using a stationary bike in the previous Instagram video. Doing this can help strengthen your muscles. Penn State PRO Wellness explained, “Riding a stationary bike can help build strength in your legs and lower body, especially if you use a higher resistance. The pedaling action can help strengthen your calves, hamstrings, and quadriceps. Additionally, it can work the muscles in your core, back, and glutes. If you use a bicycle with handles, you’ll also be able to work your upper body muscles, including your biceps, triceps, and shoulders.”

She Runs

Viciconte shared this Instagram video of herself working out. In it, she is seen doing running exercises. Viciconte captioned it, “When we exercise, our body releases endorphin, a natural substance produced by the brain during and after physical activity. The release of endorphin, also known as the 'joy hormone', helps you relax, reduces stress, anxiety and improves your mood. I always say that it's never too late to start moving, so you know that tomorrow you have no excuse 💪🏻”
