Personal Trainer
Early on in her wrestling career, Nikki Bella used to focus on lifting heavy weights to prepare her body for the heavy-duty wrestling performances. However, it left her feeling uncomfortable in her body. Plus, she was bored with pumping iron. But then, her sister introduced her to Pure Barre. Her Pure Barre classes usually last for 55 minutes and she makes it a point to be as regular as possible.
When it comes to diet, she tries to be thoughtful and balanced in her approach as she doesn’t believe in crazy dieting methods. In case she is preparing for an event or shoot, she simply becomes more watchful about her eating habits. Otherwise, she balances her diet to allow room for indulgences as well. For example, if she wants to have a glass of wine and dessert for dinner, she refrains from having avocados in her lunch salad.
