Bianca Belair is a wrestler with WWE. She’s recently picked up a new hobby: sewing. In June, she shared a video on Instagram of herself sewing. She captioned the post, “Sewing is Dope! It’s a skill that can seem really intimidating, but it really is about just diving in, trying, failing, and just trying again… of course you can take some classes but in my case I just watched a lot of YouTube and learned thru trial and error!” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Bianca Belair stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.
Belair shared some of her fitness secrets in an interview with Muscle and Fitness. “My training is basically strength training” says Belair. “I do agility training. I do a lot of CrossFit-type of stuff and we have a great coach at the Performance Center, Sean Hayes, who does all types of powerlifting and just general strength.”
Belair tells Muscle & Fitness that she’s confident in herself and her abilities. “I don’t ask for opportunities because I feel like whatever comes my way is what I deserve and I don’t have to ask for it, but I’ve been sitting here proving myself over and over, and I finally got that spotlight. A lot of people were like, ‘Who is this girl?’, ‘Where has she been hidden?’ or ‘Oh, she’s so good now’. It’s not now, I’ve always been good, it’s just now you finally know who I am and now you are seeing what I’ve been saying [all along]. For me, pressure is just a part of the game, and part of competition. I’ve been competing since I was a little girl so I am used to it, I’m always ready for whatever comes my way.”
Belair shared some of her diet secrets in an interview with Women’s Health. She says that she had some body image and eating struggles and she doesn’t like to diet for this reason. “I feel like every woman has this moment where they have to figure out what works for them. For me, I don’t do diets because I find myself becoming a little obsessive. Everything in moderation. I don’t believe in overindulging or in depriving myself of anything.”
Belair also shared some of her favorite meals in her Women’s Health interview. She says that she eats a lot of protein in the morning. “I’m not a morning person. But it doesn’t matter if I wake up at seven, eight, or noon, I’m still having breakfast food first thing when I wake up. Breakfast is when I try to focus on getting lots of protein in. I might do a piece of cinnamon toast to get some carbs in there. I’m also a big coffee drinker, since I’m not a morning person it helps me wake up.”
Belair tells Essence that she makes sure to stay consistent with her workouts. “My husband and I; we constantly workout all the time,” Belair says. “We’re always in shape, but we really start hitting it even harder on the roads for WrestleMania. So I’ve been dieting, I’ve been working out extra hard, going to the ring, working out in the ring. You really just want to bring your best self to the table because there’s going to be 70,000, 80,000 plus people in the stadium and millions of people watching on their TV screens.”
