Naomi is a wrestler with the WWE. In April, she met up with her friends and fellow wrestlers, Jade Cargill and Bianca Belair. The three danced on Belair’s TikTok, and Naomi shared the video on Instagram. She captioned the post, “Follow the #wwebig3 on the tik plsssss😝 @jadecargill @biancabelairwwe (@thetrinityfatu @jadecargill @biancabelairwwe tik tok).” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Naomi stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.
Naomi shared some of her workout secrets with Athleisure Magazine. “I just do a lot of cardio,” she says. “I’m not a stickler for any kind of regimen. I just get in there and really do what I want. I don’t really lift heavy with a lot of weight. I do more of a full body workout and lots and lots of cardio. I do at least an hour of cardio the 5 days that I’m on the road and then when I’m home, I’m off.”
Naomi tells Atheisure that she believes in balance when it comes to diet and exercise. “If I eat bad, it just means that I have to work harder in the gym and if I eat better, then I don’t have to work as hard. So I just try to always balance things out. For the most part, it’s just eat healthy, a balanced diet. I feel like as long as you’re active and moving, it doesn’t matter. As long as you’re using your body and making it do something, you can feel when you’re working and when it burns. You can feel when you’re tired. I feel like as long as you’re pushing your body to do something, you will be ok! If you’re working, your body will work. If you don’t use it, you will lose it.”
Naomi makes sure to stay consistent with her fitness, even when she’s traveling. “I workout everywhere,” she told Athleisure. “My husband and I have talked about getting a gym membership, as when we’re home there are a number of gyms but then when we travel, those gyms may not be in the cities that we are going to! Sometimes we’ll be in the Midwest and there won’t be a LA Fitness, they have Planet Fitness so we get to the town and look up the gym and we just take a day pass. When I’m home, I just train at our home gym in my garage.”
Naomi tells Madame Noire that being in the WWE has helped her become stronger and overcome challenges. “I think being a woman and being a minority, there definitely have been certain obstacles I think for myself that I’ve had to navigate through or face that others may not understand or have had to deal with. But I think it’s made me who I am and a better performer. I think it has pushed me beyond limits and barriers that I didn’t even think I would be faced with or would be capable of overcoming. It’s been great. And the one thing I will say about the WWE is that I feel like it may not happen when you think it should happen or want it to happen, but we’re given those opportunities no matter who you are. I think the opportunities that I have been able to get and have been given, I’ve been able to capitalize on them and really represent for women and women of my culture. It’s been a blessing.“
Naomi tells Athleisure that she wants to use her platform to inspire people. “I used to be very private and protective of my personal life – I mean now with social media and so many opinions, so many critics – I was protective of that. But I also saw the bigger picture, the platform that we were being given and I did want to be able to tell our story as women in the business as well as seeing the other side of us. To see how hard we work, that women can do it and to motivate others. I knew that there would be a different audience that we would be able to connect with and reach out to that we can’t always do with wrestling. That’s why along with speaking with my partner at the time, we decided to go ahead and do it together. It was a package deal, we had to do it together.”
