WWE Star Bayley In Two-Piece Workout Gear Shows “Active Recovery” Routine

WWE star Bayley (real name Pamela Rose Martinez) keeps moving even while she is having a recovery day from training. Bayley, 34, shared a video of herself wearing two-piece workout gear, juggling sandbags while using a resistance band in her backyard. “Active recovery 🤹🏻‍♀️,” she captioned the post. “Try that with Bulgarian bags and I’ll be impressed,” commented fellow fighter Shayna Baszler. Here’s what else Bayley does to stay fit, strong, and ready to rumble.

1. Professional Guidance

Bayley relies on the expertise of professionals to keep her on top of her game. “For a couple of years, I was like kind of just doing whatever I wanted,” she told Indulgexpress. “I’m on a stricter diet now. I have a nutritionist and a strength coach and he really keeps me in check. It’s like the boring stuff you see online. It’s like chicken rice and veggies, yogurt and protein powder, oatmeal and eggs.”

2. Women In Sports

Bayley is incredibly proud to represent women in sports. “Yesterday, I went to an NBA game and the Milwaukee Bucks were wearing a shirt that said, ‘support women in sports.’ I took a bunch of pictures of it because it was just amazing to see them support women in sports,” she told Indulgexpress. “It really made me appreciate where I was because of that exact reason. We are just as big as any male athlete right now. And in WWE, our fan base is so strong. The guys in the backstage locker room are our brothers. Some of them are like father figures. I feel very grateful to be in this position and we don’t take it for granted.”

3. Supporting Her Dreams

Bayley’s family always supported her wrestling dreams. “My brother was also a huge fan,” she told Tampa Bay Times. “We would watch the shows together all the time. We would wrestle around the living room and make up names. We had our own wrestling federation called "Wrestling for Kids." But he kind of grew out of it and I never did. My mom was kind of nervous when I started training. But she had faith in me.”

4. Advice For Fighters

Bayley has good advice for up and coming fighters. “You have to be in it for the long run and you have to be consistent,” he told Indulgexpress. “The road will always be full of ups and downs, but if you stay consistent with your goals and your work ethic, you’re going to get to where you want to be.”

5. Wrestling Heroes

Bayley is inspired by the fighters who blazed a trail for her. “It was more of the era,” she told Tampa Bay Times. “With Trish, Lita, Victoria, Molly Holly, Beth Phoenix. Ivory was a huge influence. They were so good and the crowd cared so much about them. I thought that was amazing. Lita was my favorite. She was so different. She looked different. She approached her match differently. And I always felt a connection that way. Because I was a tomboy. I wasn't like the other girly girls. And she was like me.”

1. She Does CrossFit

Bayley makes sure to stay fit. In this YouTube video, she is seen doing CrossFit exercises. Star Valley Health states that CrossFit is very beneficial. “Crossfit combines high intensity interval training or HIIT and is as simple as doing a handful of exercises for a certain duration either as fast as you can or for as many repetitions as you can in a certain period of time. This type of varied training is fun because you can ALWAYS improve. Some exercises such as walking or running can get repetitive and boring, or require longer periods of time but a HIIT workout can be as short as five minutes and really wipe you out.”

2. She Lifts Weights

Bayley is seen lifting weights in this YouTube video. According to The Mayo Clinic, using weights has a lot of benefits. “Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories. Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age.”

3. She Wants To Prove Herself

Bayley talked about her career in an interview with Indulge Express. “I always feel like I have something to prove. This being my first solo WrestleMania, it’s something that I have fought for for a long time. It’s something that I openly wished for and openly said that I wanted to do and accomplish. This is only Iyo’s second WrestleMania. The fact that she is in this championship match says a lot about her. I’m excited. We’ve never been in the ring together, so it’s gonna be crazy.”

4. She Eats Healthy

Bayley tells Indulge Express that she makes sure to eat healthy. “For a couple of years, I was like kind of just doing whatever I wanted. I’m on a stricter diet now. I have a nutritionist and a strength coach and he really keeps me in check. It’s like the boring stuff you see online. It’s like chicken rice and veggies, yogurt and protein powder, oatmeal and eggs.”

5. She’s Consistent

Bayley tells Indulge Express that consistency is one of her biggest wellness secrets. “You have to be in it for the long run, and you have to be consistent. The road will always be full of ups and downs, but if you stay consistent with your goals and your work ethic, you’re going to get to where you want to be.”

Bayley is heating up the gym in her workout gear. In a new social media post the WWE wrestler shows off her amazing body in a two–piece exercise set during a sweat session at the gym, sharing a mirror selfie after her workout. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Healthy Diet

Bayley maintains a healthy diet. "For a couple of years, I was like kind of just doing whatever I wanted," she told Indulgexpress. "I'm on a stricter diet now. I have a nutritionist and a strength coach and he really keeps me in check. It's like the boring stuff you see online. It's like chicken rice and veggies, yogurt and protein powder, oatmeal and eggs."

2. Basketball

Bayley enjoys shooting hoops. “Put me in the next @nba ALL-STAR celebrity game,” she writes. “Basketball promotes speed, agility, strength, power and endurance. It [has] also been shown to increase flexibility and motor coordination. As a result, basketball is uniquely oriented to improve fundamental motor skills that are shown to be beneficial in promoting general health,” Koco Eaton, M.D., orthopedic surgeon, founder of Eaton Orthopaedics and a former basketball player, tells Nike.

3. Coffee

You can always find Bayley with a cup of coffee in hand. “@itsmebayley’s got her coffee and she’s ready to win back her WWE Women’s Championship TONIGHT! Can she do it? 🩸👀,” the WWE captioned a post. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

4. CrossFit

Bayley is into CrossFit workout. In this YouTube video, she is seen doing exercises. CrossFit is a form of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) that focuses on improving strength, endurance, and body composition. However, it can result in injury if not done properly. The involvement of well-educated coaches decreases the injury rate.

5. Consistency

It’s all about consistency, says Bayley. “You have to be in it for the long run and you have to be consistent. The road will always be full of ups and downs, but if you stay consistent with your goals and your work ethic, you’re going to get to where you want to be,” she captioned a post.

Rhea Ripley is making waves in the WWE, holding multiple championship titles, including the record for the longest Women’s World Championship reign, tied with Bayley. Recently, Ripley gave her followers a glimpse of her workout routine by sharing photos on Instagram in light brown workout clothes, showcasing her incredible physique. Beyond her physical strength, Ripley is passionate about growing women’s wrestling and has ambitious goals for the future of the sport. In interviews, she shares insights into her fitness regimen, which includes a mix of cardio and weight training, as well as the importance of making time for self-care in her busy schedule. Ripley also stays on track with her nutrition through a meal delivery service that helps her meet her macro goals. Here’s a closer look at how Ripley balances her intense WWE schedule with her dedication to fitness and her mission to elevate women’s wrestling.

1. She Wants To Promote Women’s Wrestling

In an interview with GQ, Ripley talked about her desires for women’s wrestling. She says that she wants the sport to get more attention. “I want the women's division to be the biggest that it's ever been. But there's always that selfish side of you that wants to be the face of the women's division. I want to make history, to make a legacy for myself – but if accomplishing that means that the women's division doesn't grow and get better, then it wasn't really worth it.”

2. She Makes Time For Herself

Ripley tells GQ that she makes sure to make time for herself. “It's a very intense job and environment. It can be quite stressful, because there are a lot of things that are needed from you; a lot of things that people don't understand we do and go through. It's important to have those moments of free time when you can turn your brain off, whether it's at the gym, watching a movie, or just spending time with friends and family – anything you can do to put yourself at ease and make yourself feel like a normal human for a couple of hours!”

3. She Has A Meal Delivery Service

In order to eat healthy, Ripley has food delivered from a meal service. “I get meals sent to me every Sunday by a meal-prep company with the macros I want,” she told GQ. “I definitely don't eat as much as I should – I don't know how I have as much muscle as I do, because sometimes I don't eat. I did legs the other day, burnt 2,500 active calories, and I only ate 8-900 calories that day.”

4. She Does Cardio & Weights

Ripley tells GQ that she typically does a combination of cardio and weights when she trains. “Normally, when I go to the gym, I do 20 minutes of cardio, then lift weights for two and a half, sometimes three hours – it really depends on what I want to do. It's my happy place, so I like to spend time there – it's the one place I get to turn my brain off. At the moment, I still get in to do cardio and I'm weight training at least six days a week, but today I only did back [training] for an hour. It definitely isn't my preference, but you just have to go in and hustle, because when it comes to WrestleMania, you want to be as fit and look as good as you can.”

5. She’s Consistent

Since she’s a full-time wrestler, Ripley needs to be in shape all the time. For that reason, working out consistently is important to her. She talked about this in an interview with Muscle & Fitness. “I feel like my training is always pretty insane. I’ve been preparing for WrestleMania, but my training, overall, is very intense. I try and stay as ready as I can, all year round.”

Bea Priestley is getting her sweat on – with Aleah James and Isla Dawn. In a new social media post the WWE wrestler shows off her incredible body in workout gear during a group fitness session with her wrestler pals. “Difficult difficult lemon difficult,” Dawn captioned the Instagram Stories reshared by Bea. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Brain Surgery

Bea underwent brain surgery when she was 18, to have a tumor removed. When asked what it was like she told SPW Insider, “Funnily enough I was knocked out so I don’t remember! The hardest part was the recovery process afterwards. I wasn’t allowed to run until two months afterwards. I wasn’t allowed to go to the gym until six months after my surgery. It wasn’t a highlight of my life, but it’s drawn attention to me and made me stand out as a wrestler – because how many wrestlers have survived brain surgery and continued to wrestle? It was just the recovery process, just sitting on your bum and not knowing if you’d be able to wrestle again.”

2. Cycling

In the recent video, the girls do circuits, lifting weights, jumping rope, and cycling on the airbike. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.

3. Hot Tub Soaks

To relax and recover, Bea enjoys hot tub soaks. If you don’t have a jacuzzi, take a bath! They have been linked to better sleep and even found helpful to minimize anxiety and depression. One recent study even found that they may even boast cardiovascular benefits.

4. Workout Buddies

Bea understands the importance of workout buddies, which help motivate and keep you accountable. “Got each others back in the ring and gym,” one of her recent Instagram Stories of herself with her workout group reads.

5. Strength Training

Her advice to anyone who wants to become a wrestler? “Go to the gym as well. When you get to a higher level you do understand how much more physically demanding it is. You have someone else’s life in your hands, essentially. It could be dangerous if you don’t stay in shape and keep fit,” she told SPW Insider. 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​
