Have a gander at Bella Thornes Instagram and youll see shes a big gym fan. The actress, 24, often shares workout videos and pictures along with handy tips for keeping fit and healthy in her captions. From working out with friends and family wholl keep you accountable to practicing progressive overload to see results and always making time for proper stretching, she knows her stuff.
Not only that, she works out for more than just how she looks. In May this year, she took to Twitter with an important message: Almost every day I have been to the gym in the last six weeks, she wrote. Turns out I only lost one pound of fat and gained one pound of muscle. Throw away your scales ladies because they dont mean s**t. As long as YOU feel better and u like the way u look thats all that matters.

So, if ever there was someone you could take some inspo from, its Bella. Read on for everything you need to know about how she trains and eats.
Speaking to Allure, she said: I wouldn't say I'm in my best shape at the moment. My brother is my trainer. He's getting into the UFC, and he does Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, Muay Thai, and Mixed Martial Arts.
During quarantine, she told Hollywood Life that she and her family would exercise together, doing yoga, some weight training, and a bit of boxing. Its a family affair at the moment!
In the same interview with Allure, she added: [My brother] has got me doing circuit training and weightliftingI never do cardio. A lot of people think that cardio burns off weight better than weightlifting does...but weightlifting works your muscles, getting them toned while losing fat.

If youre unfamiliar, progressive overload is, in a nutshell, the process of incrementally increasing the intensity of your training, so that your body adapts and improves over time. There are a few variables that you can apply this to, like increasing time under tension or the number of reps you do.

Captioning a video of her doing hamstring curls, Bella explained that she alternates between increasing reps, and increasing the amount of weight she lifts: Today, I focused on glutes and abs. If you want to tone, do more reps and if you want to build more muscle, try heavier weights and less reps. Now TIME TO EAT! The best time to eat after your work out is 45 mins to 1 hour after you complete your routine.

Granted, shes only #foolingaround in this video, but the dancing shes doing is another great (and fun) way to keep fit. If nothing else, take this vid as proof all her gymming gives her endless energy, and who wouldnt want that?

Any of you #guilty of neglecting certain parts of your body? Weve all done it, but Bella knows the importance of training every part of her bod (workout splits for the win), as evidenced in this clip.
On the food front, she's not about cutting things out. During an interview with Wired, she shared that she's definitely not on the vegan train. 'I'm not, I'm so sorry guys. I really want to be though. My sister's a vegan so we eat a lot of vegan food but man, bacon. Oh, gets me every time.'
