Read on to discover 5 ways Nina-Marie Daniele maintains her fitness, along with photos that showcase her dedication.
Daniele worked hard to get to where she is. She talked about this in her post’s caption. “I quit my career as a comedy content and skits creator to pursue this dream of mine. 2 years ago I packed all my things and moved from California to Las Vegas to pursue a career for a job that didn’t exist! I didn’t make any money my first 9 months but I believed in my heart that this would pay off. My goal was to create a comedy style to sports interviews that allowed athletes to show their personalities through light hearted interviews and banter and very little sports talk. I wanted to add something different and really hoping that it would stick. Just to be nominated is a huge honor but it would mean the world if you guys voted for me! Thank you to everyone that has believed in me from the start and to everyone that has come along for the ride, I wouldn’t be here without you.”
Daniele tries a lot of martial arts. One thing she tries is boxing. She shared this video on Instagram of herself learning from boxer Alex Periera. Daniele captioned the post, “Do you think Alex Pereira has the best left hook in the UFC? @alexpoatanpereira and @pliniocruzmma showed me how to throw his famous left hook!”
Daniele also kickboxes to stay in shape. She shared this video of herself working with Giga Chikadze on TikTok. ACE Fitness states that kickboxing has a lot of benefits. “Kickboxing, which combines boxing techniques with kicks, is influenced by a variety of martial art forms, including karate, Thai boxing, tae kwon do, and kung fu. This full body workout gets your heart pumping, and it can also build muscle, improve balance, burn calories, and more.”
Daniele also learned jiu-jitsu from Laura Sanko. She shared this video on TikTok of them doing so. Renzo Gracie NH states that jiu-jitsu has a lot of benefits. “A Brazilian Jiu Jitsu program does more than just teach you self-defense, it also provides you with the daily physical activity your body needs. In addition to learning how to protect yourself, you’ll also see an improvement in your strength and flexibility, and you may even experience some weight loss. Overall, participation in a BJJ class can help you live a healthier lifestyle.”
Daniele likes to dance to stay in shape. She shares a lot of dance videos on Instagram. In this video, she is seen dancing with Luana Santos. Daniele captioned the post, “Who won the dance battle: @luanasantosmma or @ninamariedaniele ? đ§đ·đđ New UFC 305 Judo vlog drops this Friday!” Better Health states that dance has a lot of benefits. “It has a wide range of physical and mental benefits including: improved condition of your heart and lungs, increased muscular strength, endurance and motor fitness, increased aerobic fitness, improved muscle tone and strength.”
