She Mixes Training Styles

“I have found the best results by incorporating a mixture of different training styles. My goal was always to build muscle and be lean, but once I started training, I realized I enjoyed pushing myself to lift heavy weights,” Cass told NOCCO. “I have used a method that is a traditional bodybuilding style mixed with powerlifting elements. I have always stuck to ‘old school’ movements such as T-Bar rows, squats, bent over rows, bench press, deadlifts, etc. I have always combined higher rep schemes for size with really low rep schemes for certain movements to build strength.”

She Loves Training Her Back

Cass has a favorite part of her body to exercise. “I love training back. Mostly because there are so many different exercises to hit while you are trying to grow a complete back look. One of my favorite exercises for back is T-bar rows. It is not an exercise you see too many people doing anymore but it is always something I try to hit while training. I also really love the flat bench press. It is just a fun way to lift and try to get strong at!” she said.

Recovery

After a workout, Cass prioritizes recovery. “First thing is making sure I get a post meal in to help repair the muscle breakdown. This is where I always add in BCAAs and hydration to make sure I am using everything to help my body repair itself from the workout,” she said.

Cheat Meals

Cass is a fan of the occasional cheat meal. “My favorite cheat meal right now is probably ice cream. I love Ben & Jerry’s! Hamburgers are also something I could eat every day. I probably have a pint of ice cream once a month, lol, but what I have learned is that it's better to have a little unhealthy snack to curve your cravings rather than going out and splurging on something large. At my house, I always keep mini-sized chocolates or candies around, so that when I feel like I need something sweet, it's a small controlled amount rather than a full size,” she told GoGirlMgz.

Alex Rice is on fire in her latest workout video.

I got youuu 🫡 you don’t have to do this exact routine, but I’m hoping it will give you some ideas for your warm up.

She Eats Overnight Oats

Alex recently shared her recipe for peanut butter and jelly overnight oats.

• Store in fridge in an air right container overnight or at least 3 hours
• Add your toppings when you’re ready to eat 🍓

She Isn’t Afraid of “Putting on too Much Muscle”

Alex is not afraid of “putting on too much muscle” by lifting weights. “Workout however you want to, I stand by that!!! But to answer your question, no I’m not worried about putting on too much muscle, thank you! Plus, I wish putting on muscle was that easy,” she says in a post.

She Started Her Journey with “Cardio and Abs”

Alex recommends starting small before working your way up to heavy weights. “I feel my strongest when I’m lowering my barbell to the ground or holding 45lb plates in each hand 😅but I did start at the gym doing cardio and abs. Eventually made my way to lifting and never looked back!!” she captioned a post.

She Doesn’t Rush Through Her Workouts

Alex recommends taking your time when working out. “Take your workouts to the next level 😮‍💨 It’s easy to rush through a workout, but keep things controlled! Don’t let yourself go on autopilot when you’re lifting. Focus on that mind to muscle connection!” she wrote in a post, adding that you should not give up and instead, “push for that extra 1 or 2 reps,” and “do the exercises that are hard for you. It’s ok to fail, but how will you progress if you don’t keep trying!” she says.

Sophie van Oostenbrugg is showing off her growing glutes – in her workout leggings. In a recent post, the fitness trainer and the founder of the Gains with Brains app who boasts 2.4 million Instagram followers, shares a stunning before-and-after photo revealing her “bulk." “My weight difference is about 8 kg’s (17 lbs) here and I’m excited to do it all again and share the progress (fun parts and not so fun parts),” she writes in the caption of the Instagram photo. How does the influencer stay in such great shape? Here is everything you need to know about her routine.

At Least 2 Cardio Sessions Per Week

On her YouTube channel, Sophie revealed all of the health habits that keep her fit, starting with her approach to cardio. “I always make sure to do at least two cardio sessions a week just to build my cardiovascular health. So this is regardless of whether I am trying to lose weight, whether I am maintaining or whether I am gaining weight. And then if I try to lose weight, then I slowly increase my cardio from there,” she says.

Her Grocery Haul

Sophie also revealed that her grocery list includes “some kind of plant-based meat replacer,” canned beans, fat sources like nuts (“an easy snack”), avocado, bananas, frozen berries for smoothies and shakes, and “a lot” of vegetables “as you can never have enough vegetables,” she says. She also gets hummus, sweet potatoes, oats, reduced sugar ketchup, peanut butter, and 90 percent dark chocolate.

Glute Workouts

Sophie does a lot of glute work. “I train my legs two to three times a week currently in my current split, but not every session is equally aimed at targeting my glutes. But I train legs two to three times a week,” she reveals.

Deadlifts

Sophie’s favorite exercise is the deadlift, “just because it is the most, like the best exercise ever,” she says. “You just feel so strong when you are performing it. You're targeting your legs, your hamstrings, your glutes, your lower back. It trains your grip strength. I just love the dead lift, so I have to go with deadlift.”

Plant-Based Diet

Sophie encourages a plant-based diet, but also incorporates lean meat and fish. “I have been a vegetarian before,” she says. “I'm all for trying different diets, seeing how your body responds to it and seeing how it makes you feel.”

Relying on Discipline NOT Motivation

Sophie confesses that she is “not always motivated,” which is why discipline is crucial. “I just rely on discipline. I know what I need to do in order to get towards my goals. I also know that if I stick to my work routine, if I stick to my diet, then I will feel much, much better afterwards. So that is the reason why I try to stick to it as good as I can. But that doesn't mean that I don't have days or I don't go to the gym. It doesn't mean that I don't have days that I don't stick to my diet,” she says.

💪🔥Body Booster: Before you embark on a fitness journey, make sure to set specific goals and be disciplined if you want to achieve them.
