Iris Kyle is the most successful bodybuilders of all time. She has won twenty titles, twelve of them being in the Ms. Olympia competition. Kyle may be retired from competing, but she’s still working out. She revealed in a recent Instagram post’s caption that she is working out in her home gym. “Some of my workouts are conducted In my home gym. 20 min before training I get down with @globalformulas BioFreak in the AM before 3pm then if it’s an evening workout I fuel my body with BioPump drink 6 oz. During my training I’m drinking BioEndure BCAA COMPLEX prevent muscle loss and maximize training!!!”
Kyle shared some of her favorite workouts in an interview with Muscle and Fitness. Specifically, she shared her favorite back exercises. Kyle likes to always start her back sessions with pull-ups. “For back, I always warmup with pullups, but after that I don’t have a particular order for my exercises.” NASM states that pull-ups have 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.”
When it comes to her back workouts, Kyle is all about variety. She talked about this in her Muscle and Fitness interview. “It depends on how I feel and what I did last time. In the routine here, I’ll almost always do the first four exercises, but they may not be in this order, and the T-bar rows are optional. I’ll add a fifth exercise like T-bars at the end if I feel I still have a little work to do that day.”
Kyle makes sure to eat a healthy diet. One way she does so is by getting protein into her diet. She shared one of her favorite protein snacks in this Instagram post. “Love yourself then use protein that will get the job done,” she wrote in the caption. “The yummiest tasting, easiest to make, no sugar, chocolate peanut butter #Protein #icecream recipe ever. Chocolate Peanut Butter #bioProZERO is what makes this a winner!! Recipe: 1.5 scoops Chocolate Peanut Butter #bioProZero. 2 cups of ice. 1/4-1/3 cup water. Mix in @ninjakitchen or blender and 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻 Perfection! Chefs kiss every time. 😘”
As you can see from the previous Instagram post, Kyle likes to cook to eat healthy. Harvard Health states that cooking your own meals has a lot of benefits. “The more people cook at home, the healthier their diet, the fewer calories they consume, and the less likely they are to be obese or develop type 2 diabetes. A growing body of scientific evidence supports teaching patients how to cook meals at home as an effective medical intervention for improving diet quality, weight loss, and diabetes prevention.”
Kyle shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with RX Muscle. She says that when it comes to working out, simpler is better. “I’m a person who always trains by the basics,” Kyle explained. “It is not a science in my training regimen…. So I continue to train from heavy lifting to super sets, drop sets, high repetition etc.”
