Whitney Simmons In Workout Gear Shows Back and Biceps Routine

Fitness influencer Whitney Simmons is sharing her go-to back and biceps workout with fans and social media followers. Simmons, 31, shared pictures and video of herself wearing leggings and a sports bra, using dumbbells and a cable crossover machine. “🔥LETS PULL IT 🥵 back + biceps coming at you straight from @thealiveapp 💦” she captioned the post. “Yesss, let's get it, girl! This workout lineup is fire 🔥,” commented Alexia Clark. Here’s how the trainer stays fit and focused.

1. Weight Training

Simmons says weight training changed her life—but beginners need a plan. “When I started going to the gym, it was such an intimidating place to be, especially for a beginner," she told Life & Style. “Go into the gym with a plan, and start with something that’s dumbbells only… and take those dumbbells to a place in the gym where you feel more comfortable, and you can start weight training at home as well. Buying a pair of dumbbells and doing a dumbbell-only workout at home or in a safe spot in the gym, whether that’s a classroom or just a corner, is an amazing way to get into it and is less intimidating.”

2. Mental and Physical Happiness

Simmons is proud of her success, which is the result of years of hard work and sacrifice. “I have been sincerely shocked by the impact that I have made on women across the world,” she told Forbes. “We’ve built this amazing community that is full of inspiration chasing after the same goal of finding physical and mental happiness.”

3. Living With Psoriasis

Simmons has psoriasis, which she no longer tries to cover up. “The more severe it got, the more I wanted to cover it,” she told Women’s Health. “I have so many women in my DMs who say, ‘I used to cover every inch of my body at the gym, and now I just don’t care. I am going to wear the shorts.’”

4. Gymshark Line

Simmons has a line with Gymshark, inspired by her own approach to style. “My favorite thing to do is just pop on leggings with a pair of white sneakers,” she told Life & Style. “I love my white sneakers, it’s an unhealthy obsession. I love investing in staple pieces that I can have in my closet for several seasons because they don’t ever go out of style. So I wanted to create a range that was going to be a lot of staples, always going to be something that you can go to for several years to come.”

5. Back and Biceps Workout

Here is that back and biceps workout from Simmons in full:

1️⃣ 3x10 single arm bent over row

2️⃣ 3x8 incline bicep curls

3️⃣ 3x10 cable straight arm pulldown

5️⃣ 3x10 lat pulldown

I’ve worked hard to continue to push weight out of the desire to simply feel strong again, not to chase a certain body type.

Moreau has been open about staying active during and after pregnancy, incorporating pregnancy-safe workouts and Pilates into her routine. Now, she’s focusing on light weights and kettlebell exercises to regain her strength. As a busy mom, she’s mastered the art of multitasking, even squeezing in workouts in between daily tasks. Beyond the gym, Moreau loves outdoor activities like playing basketball, keeping her active lifestyle varied and engaging.

1. Kettlebell Workouts

Moreau is showing fans how she’s returning to her schedule after recently having a baby. Wearing black spandex workout shorts and a tight black cropped tee, the new mom showed off her kettlebell workout in an Instagram video with the caption, “Finally back to my regular workout routine. Kettlebell exercises can target many different muscles and be a full-body workout. “Kettlebell training provides a low-impact, full-body workout that strengthens muscles and improves cardiovascular health,” according to Shape.

2. She Uses Light Weights

Wearing a barely there red bikini, Moreau worked out using light weights and captioned her post, “Multitasking as a momma." According to Prevention, using light weights has the following benefits:

-Lowering body fat. “With consistent light lifting, your body will look leaner and more toned, and your clothes will fit better.”

-Preserving muscle mass. “Light lifting can slow the decline.”

-Improve bone density. “Using weights encourages cells to form new bone to offset age-related declines in bone mineral density.”

Throughout her pregnancy, the influencer did pregnancy-safe workouts and shared a video of them and a 21-day challenge she completed. “I am 39 weeks pregnant and using the @bodi app for my everyday workouts. The Bodi app is perfect because I can just open up my phone and do a work out wherever I am. I am able to modify the workouts and make sure I stay on track. Let me know if you guys try this work out!”

4. She Does Pilates

Wearing a cute pastel-colored dress with shorts underneath, Moreau showed off her Pilates skills. Pilates is a fitness trend that’s here to stay and one that should not be ignored. According to the Cleveland Clinic, Pilates has several health benefits, including improved muscle tone, flexibility and strength, pain relief, better posture, and balance and coordination. “The nearly century-old practice of Pilates provides a low-impact, full-body workout that could be a great addition to a well-balanced exercise program,” the site stated. “While the research on the health benefits of Pilates isn’t definitive, it suggests Pilates can positively impact your physical and mental health.”

5. She Plays Basketball

In addition to hitting the gym, Moreau enjoys being active outside and playing basketball. Over 450 million people worldwide play basketball, making it one of the most popular sports. Besides burning calories, it’s also a great cardio workout for your heart. According to StyleCraze, “Basketball is one of the best exercises for heart health! Because you keep moving, your heart rate increases. It also helps in building endurance, which is important when you want to make sure that your heart is healthy. It will help lower the risk of stroke and heart disease later in your life.”

The single mom of two boys, entrepreneur, fitness guru, personal trainer, and more has a lot on her plate, but always leaves room for plenty of workouts and her health. The 3x Ms Fitness Olympia champ prioritizes her overall wellness in many ways. “Get that 🍑 Peachy Booty Pump! Save or share this lower body circuit utilizing just ONE cable machine. This is perfect for packed gyms where it’s difficult to get machines or equipment. Monopolize the cable machines and Knock it all out at once. Here’s the workout of the day!,” she said on Instagram. What else does she do to stay in shape? Here’s what we found!

1. She does plyometrics

She focuses on including plyometrics in her workout routine. “The Power of Plyometrics! Plyometrics improve the muscles and tendons ability to store and utilize elastic energy. Which is crucial for our RFD ~ Rate of Force Development, and for accepting, overcoming, and redirecting force! Re-coupling energy with minimal ground contact time at higher speeds was a game changer for me. Do you OWN YOUR WORKOUTS? 🤔 Always learning and challenging myself. I ♥️ it! 💪🏽 Powered by @bsnsupplements #BSNsponsoredathlete #WhitneyJones #3xMsFitnessOlympia,” she said on Instagram.

2. Her pushups are intense

She does push ups so intensely, they’re almost dangerous. “Yes, Girl Pushups are wayyyy more fun! But not when u kick your friend in the face 😳@bsnsupplements have a kick ~ what can I say 🤷‍♀️ @happyhandstand doesn’t back down. There’s no quit in her! #FitnessChixRock #BSNsponsoredathlete,” she said on Instagram. According to Harvard Health Publishing, “the push-up engages your body from top to bottom. It works several muscle groups at once: the arms, chest, abdomen (core), hips, and legs. Push-ups also can be modified as needed.”

3. She does leg presses

Leg presses are a priority to her when it comes to maintaining her lower body strength. “Is it leg day and you don’t have a leg press at your gym, or traveling, or the hotel gym is janky…use this hack to mimic the Leg Press! 🔥 If you lift heavy and available weights are light ~ go high rep or time under tension with a 4 count up and 4 count down. No excuses, find a way! 🔥 #OwnYourWokouts #BestInClassPerformance,” she said on her Instagram video.

4. She does hip thrusts

She includes hip thrust into her routine to sculpt. “Don’t feel like loading up a bar with heavy weights to build dat booty 🍑…..try this Gym Hack for Hip Thrusts! ⭐️ GOLD ⭐️ Save this post and give it a try! 😉 Proud athlete of @bsnsupplements #BSNSponaoredAthlete #OwnYourWorkouts #WhitneyJones #3xMsFitnessOlympia,” she said on Instagram.

5. She eats more

She makes sure that she feels fulfilled by what she eats. “Honestly, most of my life I was one of those women who ate to live. I didn’t eat a lot. Well, my whole perspective on eating changed a few years ago. As I started to eat more animal based proteins something crazy happened. I started to lose fat and gain muscle. 💪 I’m stronger and look leaner. How is this possible? It goes against everything we’ve been taught as women,” she said on an Instagram video.

Brittany recently opened up about her fitness journey to Simply Shredded. “In 2008 I graduated college and I was in that young-adult, coming-of-age mode where I was still trying to figure out who I was and what I wanted to do with my life. After a breakup I was left feeling stagnant at a time when I expected to be constantly moving. Someone suggested that I try fitness competitions so I threw myself in head-first. I learned how to sculpt my body rather than just train my muscles. I changed my diet and I learned how to walk and pose for the stage,” she said.
