Yanet Garcia in Workout Gear Says "Let's Train Together"

“World’s Hottest Weather Girl” Yanet Garcia is so much more than just a model and TV star—the 33-year-old is also a trainer and certified health coach who thrives on helping clients live their fittest, healthiest lives. Garcia shared a picture of herself wearing a lilac two-piece workout outfit, holding dumbbells in each hand. “Let’s train together,” she captioned the post. Garcia is all about holistic health, and being the best advertisement for her coaching skills—here’s what her wellness mantra and advice looks like.

1. Calories Are Not Created Equal

Garcia says relying on calories to be healthy is not enough, as 100 calories of sugary soda and 100 calories of broccoli impact the body differently. “When planning a meal, the thought of how many calories does this contain rarely crosses my mind anymore,” she captioned an Instagram post. “I don't count calories on a regular basis and you shouldn't have to either. Despite what many of us have been led to believe, not all calories are equal. Your body is not going to react to 100 calories of cotton candy the same way it would to 100 calories of plain oatmeal. Which would you choose? For me, it's an easy choice, as I've learned which food will help maintain my weight and make me feel healthy and vibrant because it's giving my body the nutrients it needs to thrive.”

2. Stretching Every Day

Garcia stretches every day, and recommends her clients do the same. “The benefits of stretching daily:

-Increased flexibility and range of motion

-Improved posture

-Promotes circulation

-Decreases or prevents back pain

-Relieves stress and calms the mind

-Improves performance

-Reduces your risk of injury

-Helps you live longer,” she captioned an Instagram post.

3. Fitness Philosophy

Garcia’s fitness philosophy is based on a few non-negotiables. “It’s definitely been a long process that required a lot of discipline but it was worth it,” she told Women’s Fitness. “Believe you can achieve it. Work hard every day and do something. Take care of your diet as it is very important. Rest and being hydrated. Squats really helped me to reach my goals.”

4. Brain Health

Garcia doesn’t just work out for physical appearance, she wants to keep her brain as healthy as possible for as long as possible. “Health isn't all about losing a few pounds or about the absence of chronic disease; it's about feeling good, showing up, and giving your highest gifts to the world,” she captioned an Instagram post. Here is Garcia’s daily routine for a better brain:

-Eat healthy fats 🥑

-Optimize protein 💪🏻

-Eat colorful plant foods 🥦🍎🫐🥒🍏

-Avoid sugar and processed carbs ❌🍭🧁

-Move the body 🏃‍♀️

-Relax and calm the mind 🧘‍♀️

Garcia’s advice is good—research shows healthy fats from avocados, olive oil, and fish are all good for brain health, as is exercise and meditation.

5. Oatmeal For Breakfast

Garcia loves delicious oats for a healthy, filling breakfast. “Oats are a great heart-healthy way to start the day and contain a type of soluble fiber called beta glucan that helps to lower cholesterol levels and reduce the risk of heart disease,” Garcia says. “The fiber and protein content help keep you satisfied between meals and slow down blood glucose release. In addition to their fiber content, oats are an excellent source of several vitamins and minerals, including copper, magnesium, zinc and thiamine.”

Dasha Gonzalez is getting her sweat on – in her workout clothes. In a new social media post the model and wrestler flaunts her flat abs in a crop top and leggings during an intense workout session. “Workout this weekend,” she captioned the post. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her workout routine.

1. Mixing Weights and Reps

“When we aim for 8 to 30 reps per set during our workouts, we're hitting a range that's good for making muscles bigger,” her trainer, Cezar Bononi, explains in a post. “Let's say you're doing an exercise like squats. If you're doing sets of 8 reps, you're likely using a heavier weight. This challenges your muscles in a way that promotes muscle growth. But if you're doing sets of 20 reps, you'll probably use a lighter weight. This still challenges your muscles, but in a different way, focusing more on endurance and pumping up the muscles.” He adds that by “mixing up the number of reps we do, we're hitting different aspects of muscle growth. When we lift heavier weights for fewer reps, it's like telling our muscles to get stronger and bigger. But when we lift lighter weights for more reps, it's like telling our muscles to keep going and not get tired easily.”

2. Workout Buddies

Dasha is a fan of the workout buddy system. “It’s Monday and I got to share a great workout with my girl @elisaayalaa at @bodysculptinggym this morning!!! I’m grateful for so much these days so remember to let your friends know how much you love and appreciate them while they are here!!!” Workout buddies are a great way to keep yourself accountable.

3. Exercise as “Medicine”

Dasha views exercise as medicine. “Life is tough, but sometimes you’ve just gotta focus on yourself and dedicate some time to yourself. Exercise is my medicine and spending time with great people who love you helps. Check in your happy friends and let people you care about know how important they are to you. If you’re on your health and fitness journey, I just want you to know that I’m rooting for you and I believe in you! You got this!!! Time to get off our butts and put in the work!” she wrote in a post.

4. Yoga

Dasha also does yoga. On a recent trip to Puerto Rico, she showed off her moves. Harvard Health explains the science behind the practice. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”

5. Strength Training

In her latest post, Dasha does a strength training workout, executing a variety of exercises. 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

Emily Hayden is a fitness trainer with a large following on social media. She is about to participate in a secret project and is making sure to train hard for it. Hayden recently shared a workout video with a friend on Instagram. In it, they are seen doing things like box jumps, slamming weighted balls, and pushing weighted carts. She captioned the post, “What do you think would happen if you went ALL IN on you? No more holding back, no more half efforts, no more excuses, and no more making yourself small. NO. MORE.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Emily Hayden stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Pushes Herself

Hayden makes sure to push herself when she works out. She talked about this in the caption of her post. “Take up space. Face the challenge head on. Dominate what’s in front of you. Give it everything you’ve got. And when you feel like you have nothing left, remember… that moment is exactly why you’re here. Push through and show yourself that you can overcome any obstacle in front of you.”

2. She Strength Trains

Hayden likes to strength train to stay fit. In her Instagram video, she is seen using a weighted ball and a weighted cart. According to ACE Fitness, these exercises have 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.”

3. She Works Out With A Friend

As you can tell from her video, Hayden likes to work out with a friend. Better Health states that having a friend workout with you can push you. “When you exercise with a friend who’s around the same fitness level as you, you’re more likely to encourage each other and to push a little harder (to increase intensity, for example) than you might do on your own. A friend can bring out your competitive side and spur you on. When you’re ready to give up, the sight of your friend powering on might be just the incentive you need to keep going.”

4. She Does Squats

One workout that Hayden enjoys doing is squats. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing them with a barbell. Hayden captioned the post, “Do it because you deserve the life that excellence produces. Do it for you. What would you go after if anything was possible? Go after that. How would you show up if you weren’t worried about the judgements of others? Show up like that.”

5. She Uses A Resistance Band

Hayden likes to use a resistance band when she trains her glutes. She shared one of her favorite exercises in this Instagram video. In it, Hayden puts the band on her waist, stretches it out, and does forward bends with a weight. Hayden captioned the post, “Try this on your next glute day! It’s one of my favorite glute exercises. Focus on the efficiency & fullness of each squeeze and give it a full slow stretch at the bottom of the rep. Let me know what you think 💞tag me in your stories if you try it!”

Roxanne Perez is a wrestler for the WWE. She makes sure to stay fit for her fights in the ring. Perez shared a video on Instagram of herself doing pull-ups in the gym. She wore a two-piece set of black workout gear in it. Perez captioned the post, “Just a couples workout before #NXTOrlando.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Roxanne Perez stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She’s An Advocate

Perez is known for opening up about her mental health. She tells Metro that she wants to help others who are struggling with the same thing. “It’s so cool. I’ve always wanted to bring mental health into wrestling somehow and never thought it was possible. It’s really cool to be able to change people’s lives. I feel like that’s the most important thing that I’ve always wanted to do. If I can be that voice that helps someone else know that they’re not alone, then that means the world to me.”

2. She Trained With Her Boyfriend

In an interview with Fightful, Perez revealed how she trained for the WWE. "I definitely did my homework, especially training at Booker T’s school. He prepared me. My boyfriend, Gino Medina, he’s awesome and he prepared me for that tryout. I was ready. He had me doing some crazy cardio. He’s done a tryout before, so he’s like, ‘Yeah, this is what they do,’ and it was way less than what he had me do. But I was over prepared. So that was good."

3. She Worked Hard

Perez tells Fightful that she worked hard to get to where she is. “As a kid, my dream was going to WWE and I was like, ‘I don’t know how I’m gonna get there, but I’m gonna do it.’ Then I find out about the indies and I found out how you can just work your way up throughout the indies and one day maybe they’ll call me. That’s what I wanted to do. I wanted to make a big enough name for myself to where I don’t have to beg. They will contact me and be like, ‘Hey, we want you because your work spoke for yourself.’ When I got there, it was crazy to do my tryout and people were like, ‘Yeah, we know you.’ I would never have expected to come into a WWE tryout and people be like, ‘Yeah, you’re good.’"

5. She Does Pull-Ups

As you can see, Perez does pull-ups to stay in shape. NASM states that this exercise has a lot of benefits. “Pull ups and chin ups are a multi-joint movement, meaning that they engage multiple muscle groups (lats, biceps, shoulders, and upper back). They promote overall upper body muscle development and can lead to some serious strength gains.”

Jaclyn Cordeiro is a fitness influencer and the girlfriend of Alex Rodriguez. She showed off her body transformation on Instagram in April. In half of the photo, she wore a red set of workout gear. In the other half, she wore a blue dress. She captioned the post, “These pictures were taken yesterday. 5am Club vs Dinner Date.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Jaclyn Cordeiro stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She’s Consistent

Cordeiro makes sure to be consistent with her workouts. She talked about the importance of this in the caption of the Instagram post. “CONSISTENCY+DISCIPLINE+HARD WORK=CONFIDENCE in all areas of your life. Make the time to INVEST in yourself everyday.” The Mayo Clinic states that being consistent with fitness is very important. “Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if you can't find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none. To gain the benefits of exercise, just get more active throughout your day. For example, take the stairs instead of the elevator or rev up your household chores. Consistency is key.”

2. She Wears Ankle Weights

Cordeiro likes to go through her day wearing ankle weights. She shared this video on Instagram of herself going through her day with them on. Cordeiro explained the benefits and why she wears them in the caption. “Why ankle weights? Sculpt/Contour. Burn Calories Faster. Better Breathing. Improved Stamina. Strengthened Bones and Muscles. Stronger Core Muscles. Ankle Weights Offer Versatility.”

3. She Does Core Workouts

Cordeiro has an amazing core, as you can see in the Instagram post. Naturally, she does a lot of core workouts. She shared some of her favorites in this Instagram video of herself and Rodriguez doing core workouts. In it, she and Rodriguez are seen doing starfish crunches, reverse crunches, and planks. Cordeiro captioned the post, “Summer core challenge 🇨🇦Grab a partner, select one of your favourite songs. Aim to complete this in 20 mins. Perform a circuit comprised of 3 different abs exercises (targeting upper, lower rectus and obliques) each exercise for 2 minutes everyday. Stretch post circuit for at least 2 mins, remember ABS are made in the kitchen and cooked in the gym;).”

4. She Works Out With Someone Else

As you can see from the previous post, Cordeiro sometimes likes to workout with someone else. This has a lot of benefits. Better Health states, “Exercising with a friend or loved one can make it more fun, and increase your chances of sticking to your exercise plan. Exercising with a friend is a great way to keep you motivated. It’s also a great way to meet new people. It can even save you money. Exercise with someone around the same fitness level as you so you can spur each other on.”

5. She Uses Landmines

Cordeiro likes to do workouts with landmines. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing squats and lifts with them. She captioned the post, “Landmines exercises are a form of weight training that can level up your fitness game in more than one way, especially when your short on time. These versatile exercises demand full body engagement, increase lean muscle tissue, improve strength and sculpt those hard to reach accessory muscles ie intercostal. Landmine training allows you to maintain correct body posture, alignment and improve balance.”
