WWE Star Charlotte Flair in Two-Piece Workout Gear Does Rehab Workout
Charlotte Flair is rehabbing at the gym – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the WWE star shows off her amazing body during a difficult workout, wearing a black tank and matching shorts. The athlete was forced to miss WrestleMania this year due to an injury, tearing her MCL, ACL, and meniscus. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
Strength Training
Strength training is Charlotte's go-to workouts. "I want to be in the best shape of my life," she told Muscle & Fitness . "I've done CrossFit and I was really into running in college, but right now I love bodybuilding." 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
Cardio and HIIT
Charlotte also does regular cardio and HIIT circuits for 3 days per week. "I'll cycle with an app where we do 20 seconds on, and 20 seconds off, or I'll ride around the park. We'll do pull ups, dips and push ups before we start the workout," she told Muscle & Fitness. There is lots of research backing up the benefits of HIIT workouts, including body fat reduction, improved cardiovascular function, and mental health. It is also time effective.
Portion Control
Charlotte eats five meals per day. "It's about portion control," she told Muscle & Fitness. "It depends on what your goals are." What does she eat in a day? Breakfast is usually protein enriched oatmeal, lunch, steak with two tortillas and cactus, and dinner, chicken with half a cup of rice, cucumbers, and lettuce for dinner.
Workout Buddies
Charlotte is all about the workout buddy system. She regularly hits the gym with her husband, All Elite Wrestling star Andrade El Idolo. Having a workout buddy makes exercise more fun and helps keep you accountable.
Cheat Meals
Charlotte indulges in cheat meals. "I love ice cream, chocolate, cheeseburgers, and tacos, but I have developed a plan that I can enjoy food and not worry about it being labeled bad or not healthy," she told Food & Beverage. She counterbalances splurges by making healthy swaps, like eating a cheeseburger on a whole wheat bun and adding avocado. "There is always a way to make the food you love enjoyable, healthy, and a part of your dining routine if you commit to it," she said.
