Jacy Jane is boating in her bathing suit with Cora Jade. In a new social media post the WWE stars show off their fabulously fit figures while on the water. Two goths on a boat,” Core captioned the Instagram photo of herself and Jacy. “Tan goths don’t really exist lol,” joked one follower, while others simply commented with lots of fire emojis. How does the wrestler stay fit? Celebwell rounded up her top health habits.

1. She Water Skis

One outdoor activity Jacy loves is water skiing. Amongst other things, water skiing is a great workout for your legs, arms, and most notably, core, as it forces you to maintain balance.

2. She Hydrates

When Jacy is training you can always find a bottle of water nearby. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

3. She Walks on the Beach

When Jacy isn’t in the gym, you can find her on the beach, where she likes to take walks. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

4. She Trains Hard

In order to stay successful in wrestling, Jacy spends a lot of time at the gym training. “Ain’t no question if I want it, I need it,” she captioned a post. Physical activity is anything that gets your body moving. Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.

5. She Swims

Another beach activity Jacy loves? Swimming. Swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity, according to the CDC. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, there are multiple studies supporting the mental health benefits of swimming as well.

Wrestling champion Tiffany Stratton is embracing her blonde bombshell image with the help of fellow fighter Nikkita Lyons. Stratton, 24, shared pictures of herself and Lyons posing in bikinis that emphasized their toned athletic figures, against a background of blue skies and greenery. “Paint the town blonde 💣,” Stratton captioned the sultry post. “Blondes do it best!” Lyons commented. How does the athlete stay fighting fit? Here are 5 ways she takes care of her health.

1. Trained By the Best

Wrestling legend Greg Gagne trained Stratton and says she was impressive right from the start. "She was a handful,” Gagne says. “A friend of mine asked me, I wasn't doing anything, 'Would you train this girl? She wants to be a professional wrestler.' She had a great background, she [had] five years with the U.S. gymnastics team, and she won first place. And then she went into bodybuilding, first place, set a record in her weight lifting class, and she wanted to wrestle."

2. Inspired By Shawn Johnson

Stratton has a background in gymnastics, and says she was inspired by Olympic gymnast Shawn Johnson. “When Shawn Johnson came in, it turned everybody’s heads because, like I said, she was very dominant. She was strong,” she says. “She did all these really cool, powerful skills. Then when the United States went to the Olympics, she actually helped the team be super dominant compared to all the other countries. I think that was the moment where I fell in love with her.”

3. Heavy Metal Lover

Stratton uses music to help push her to work out harder. “I listen to heavy metal when I work out,” she says. “Like, I listen to screamo music, like Disturbed. I listen to Shinedown. I listen to, what’s another one, Three Days Grace. I’m into all that screamo music when I work out. When I workout I want to work out hard and that music gets there.”

4. Confidence Is Key

Stratton says her skills have grown with her confidence, making her a fighter to be reckoned with. “My confidence has changed a lot,” she says. “I definitely feel like I found who I am in life, but [also] in the ring. I’ve really found who I am in the ring, and I think that’s a big factor that people don’t realize is just figuring out who you are in the ring and what drives you and what motivates you. I’ve really honed in on my craft and I think that has been the biggest game changer for me is just figuring out who I am in this industry.”

5. SmackDown Fan

Stratton was a big fan of wrestling before she ever decided to take it up as a career. “I was a gymnast up until I was 19 or 20 years old,” she says. “I kind of saw wrestling on TV. I always knew about it; my brother and my dad would always watch it growing up. I never really got into it until later on. I was still a gymnast and I saw SmackDown on my TV one day flipping through the channels with my family. And I saw it and was immediately like, ‘wow that’s so cool, I feel that’s a lot of the things that I can do.’ I saw Charlotte Flair doing her corkscrew moonsault out of the ring. I saw that and was like, ‘that is so cool, I can totally do that, I do that on the trampoline like every day.'”

In an interview with the Tampa Bay Times, Natalya Neidhart opened up about what she eats before a match. “I went to the Sky Lounge in the LaGuardia airport and had a little bit of Greek yogurt and a cappuccino with skim milk. I always like to have a little bit of coffee in the morning — it’s more of a ritual for me than the taste. I like to sit and have 15 minutes to myself to just drink my coffee and reflect and think about what my day is going to be like. They served a breakfast burrito on the plane. To be brutally honest, I don’t really love airplane food, but no matter what, you can make something out of nothing. I had a couple of bites, that that way I could feel like I was getting a little bit without all the calories. Then I just had water on the plane. Whenever I travel I try to hydrate as much as possible. I hate that dehydrated feeling, it makes me super tired. They also served some fresh fruit so I had a little bit of that. That way when I landed I didn’t feel too bloated or heavy.”

4. Carmella

Carmella, also known as Leah Van Dale, shared her workout routine with Women Fitness. “I always warm up on the bike or treadmill for about 20-30 minutes before I lift. Stretching is something I really need to get back into my daily routine. With my schedule, it’s so hard to fit everything in. I usually only have time to train OR stretch, but I really need to start making time for both. I notice such a difference in my body when I take the time to stretch properly.”

5. Britt Baker

That’s just how it works for me now because that’s the only time I can fit in. When I’m home, in a typical day, I wake up, go to the dental office and I’m there sometimes until 7pm, come home, eat really quick, say hello to my boyfriend (who just happens to be fellow AEW superstar; Adam Cole then I go to the gym.”

I feel extremely lucky and blessed to have the career that I have now and don’t want to lose it along with everything that I could lose if I don’t stay sober.”

Back when I was younger in Australia, I wanted to be a wrestler and loved what I did with WWE. It’s completely different now. It’s not five minutes on TV where I’m asked to do such and such. It’s having competitive singles matches every night. There are different opponents every night. I’m meeting new people and improving my own skills every time by working with different people in the ring. It got me going again.”

I’ve been wrestling for seven years, but that’s nothing compared to some people. I’m all about the slow and steady. I know it’s a marathon and not a sprint. A lot of my coaches tell me that. I just try to keep that in mind.”

In an interview with Wrestling Epicenter, Deonna Purrazzo talked about her approach to body image, and dealing with body shamers. “I might need to lose 5 pounds. I might need to lose 6 or 7 pounds. I’m not against the losing weight part. But, I’m against calling people out for it. And I’m against people who call themselves fans thinking it is okay to criticize a woman’s body because it is more than doing squats. I do squats every day. It is a mental game as well. It is so much more than just working out. You know what I mean?”

14. Charlotte Flair

Charlotte Flair opened up about how she approaches her wrestling career in an interview with Muscle and Fitness. “It’s about being kind to yourself,” says Flair. “How you talk to yourself really matters. I never believed that I could be on TV, or be a performer, or any of those things … Why did I tell myself that for so many years? And now, here I am, the most decorated women’s champion of all-time. Why do we tell ourselves that we can’t do something? It’s because we are scared of it. So, do what you are scared of. That biggest fear that you have…do that!”

Jordynne Grace opened up about her favorite workouts with Muscle and Fitness. “It’s very difficult to lift heavy alongside professional wrestling,” she says. “So I started taking up yoga just because in the past year or so, doing the powerlifting competitions with wrestling has just been crazy.

16. Thunder Rosa

Wrestling is a difficult sport. Thunder Rosa opened up about how she manages injuries on the Athletic and The Arts podcast. “I couldn't feel my legs when I got out of the ring. But I have to get out there. I couldn't let people down. So I wrestled with my hips taped for about two months, because I was wrestling all the time. So it was like, nonstop because of that drive that we have. I wanted to be the champion. I wanted to be the best. I wanted people to say that I did it, I wanted to say that I did it for myself."

17. Toni Storm

Toni Storm opened up about changes she’s made to her lifestyle to Muscle and Fitness. “You know, in your early 20s when you are working, living a fast-paced lifestyle, like anyone, you are not constantly making the best lifestyle choices,” she says. “Sometimes there’s some bad food on the road, maybe some drinks after the shows, and that really caught up with me because I was just constantly on the road for years with no routine, not getting enough sleep. All of those things started to weigh heavy on me but now I don’t drink any alcohol. I’ve noticed an immense difference. My workouts and everything has totally changed.”

1. She Does Martial Arts

Being a wrestler means that James has to know how to fight. In order to do that, she has to know martial arts. USMartialArts.org states that martial arts have a lot of benefits. “Mastering techniques requires a lot of concentration! This enhances your ability to concentrate in all areas of your life as well. For kids, they often start focusing better in school very quickly. Teachers and parents notice the difference. For adults, they find themselves being more productive and focused at work, and achieving greater things.”

2. She Goes Fishing

James spends a lot of time by the water. One thing she enjoys doing is going on fishing trips. She shared these photos on Instagram of herself on a trip in Tampa. In them, James holds up several fish she caught. She captioned the post, “Trophy fish for this future trophy wife.”

3. She Swims

Another thing James does to stay in shape is going swimming. She shares a lot of photos on Instagram of herself in the water. James posted these photos of herself wading in the ocean with a cocktail. The CDC reports that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Swimming can improve mood in both men and women. For people with fibromyalgia, swimming can decrease anxiety, and exercise therapy in warm water can decrease depression and improve mood.”

4. She Gets Some Sun

"UV exposure is the primary method of boosting serum vitamin D levels, which accounts for numerous health benefits. Higher levels of vitamin D are associated with protection against cancer development, including melanoma. Latitude, season, skin color, and sun protection determine UV absorption and vitamin D production," says NIH. Just be sure not to get sunburnt. "Increasing UV exposure without causing sunburn maximizes vitamin D production."

5. And Of Course, She Wrestles!

"Balance, strength, coordination, and overall body awareness is fundamental in having success in the sport. Year after year kids will start practice with gymnastics, calisthenics, and activities that develop these skills. It provides a foundation of athleticism," says the NWHOF, which gets kids ready for the sport. "As an individual sport the only person responsible for success or failure is the individual themselves. Wrestling teaches self-awareness and how to be responsible for your actions. What you put in is what you get out."
