Michelle Jenneke, the dynamic hurdler known for her spirited warm-up dance, has faced an unexpected hurdle of her own. Following her inspiring return to the Olympics in 2024, Jenneke encountered an injury requiring surgery. But last month, she shared a hopeful update on Instagram, captioned simply, "Back walking." Her dedication to training shines through even amid recovery, as she revealed to Body & Soul: "I do three track sessions a week, and they can be from 2-3 hours each, which can be full on." From intense track workouts to a balanced, protein-packed diet, Jenneke's holistic approach to wellness keeps her grounded and resilient, showing fans that setbacks are just another obstacle on the track of life.
Jenneke shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with Body & Soul. In it, she shared what her training sessions on the track look like. Jenneke makes sure to do her training on a regular basis. "I do three track sessions a week, and they can be from 2-3 hours each, which can be full on. You do some warm up, a hurdle session, and then a sprint session after that."
Jenneke also shared what her gym days look like in her Body & Soul interview. She says that she does a lot of different things to stay fit. "It's a lot of heavy weights there, plus full body exercises and quite a bit of plyometric [exercises]. I start with heavy weights, and then I'll do some lighter functional circuit, towards the end. All up, that takes an hour and a half to two hours… and sometimes when I finish a session I just lie on the ground. I think to myself, 'it's just gym, why is it so hard?"
Jenneke shared her diet in her Body & Soul interview. "I actually eat a lot," she said. "I talk to my sister, and she says she has three meals a day – sometimes two if she's busy – and I'm like 'I have to eat six times a day! "It really depends on what my training day looks like, but if I've got training in the morning (which I often do at the moment) I'll have cereal generally before I go out and train. Then, I actually love having a Milo after a hard session – it's got good levels of protein and iron in it – and then I make myself a second breakfast, which could be muesli with yoghurt or bacon and eggs. Lunch is pretty basic – usually I just have a sandwich – and then for dinner I like to keep it simple. I have either some pasta or some rice with meat and veggies."
Jenneke makes sure to push herself when she trains, and that means having the right mindset and attitude toward it. She talked about the approach she takes in an interview with Kate Conklin. "I fall a lot in practice. Like, every training session. I'm always trying to push myself to go faster and do better and get as close the hurtle as I can, and when you do that, you hit them… I really like it when I fall over in training…It shows me that I'm doing the right thing."
Jenneke doesn't like to let her sport take over her life, and she makes sure to still enjoy it. "I think it is quite a big commitment, but if you think about it like that it's really going to wear you down and you're going to think about it being a big commitment and how it's taking over your life and that's not the way I like to look at it," Jenneke said on the Big Sports Breakfast. "I like to look at it as the fact that I compete in the hurdles and I train all this time because I love it so I go into all those sessions just thinking, 'It's not the hard work, I'm just going out and doing what I love.' I don't really let that weigh on me, I just try to enjoy myself."

The oldest Kansas City Chiefs heiress Gracie Hunt took a nice little mid-week vacation to warm Mexico before the team plays in frigid Buffalo this weekend.
The 25-year-old Miss Kansas first showed off a dramatic makeover with new a hairdo in a colorful dress, as well as some of the beautiful scenery Cabo San Lucas has to offer.
Now, the viral daughter of team owner Clark Hunt and Tavia Hunt stripped down to hit the water in a boat, wearing short shorts and a sheer bikini top while revealing some insane abs.
Gracie captioned the posts, “Windows through the sea ?? I hope your weekend has windows of beauty as well ?.”
She went on to show off the famous El Arco de Cabo San Lucas for the windows she’s referring to.
Simply beautiful. And so is that scenery.
Gracie has been super busy crushing her best fit of the season a couple of weeks ago, and modeling her own NFL clothing line in “Wear By Erin Andrews.”
She also has a dating life now with boyfriend Cody Keith, who she’s been seen slaying her pickleball outfits with.
The 9-0 Chiefs have a monster game Sunday vs. the 8-2 Buffalo Bills. Gracie certainly will be dressed a little warmer than she is here in Mexico, that’s for sure.

Katie Chung Hua, a fitness influencer known for her disciplined approach to health and wellness, recently celebrated a friend's birthday with a series of social media photos, including a few showcasing her in stylish workout gear. Katie's fitness philosophy is rooted in planning, consistency, and smart nutrition. "Set a goal, then create a map of how to get there," she advises. Katie incorporates HIIT workouts, challenging her muscles with every rep, and relies on a go-to list of exercises like planks, lunges, and push-ups to stay fit. Her diet tips focus on balance, protein-packed meals, and counting macros over calories. Katie's lifestyle proves that staying in shape is all about preparation and finding what works for you.
If you want to get in shape, it takes planning says Katie. "The first thing is to set a goal then create a map of how to get there. Having something to follow every day will keep you on track. Then, take a look at your nutrition, immediately cut out soda, sugars, and alcohol," she told Squat Wolf.
Katie recommends high intensity interval training for weight loss. "HIIT workouts are the quickest way to put fat over steady cardio so implement that around 4x a week," she says. There is lots of research backing up the benefits of HIIT workouts, including body fat reduction, improved cardiovascular function, and mental health. It is also time effective.
"Continue to push yourself in the gym. The last 5 reps of every exercise should be a challenge," Katie tells Squat Wolf. "Don't lift just to reach the rep number, use it as a baseline and push yourself. For those of you trying to lean, keep your reps around 12-15. Take before and after photos weekly."
Here are Katie's go-to exercises:
Bench Mountain Climber
Bench Push Up
Bench V Up
Side Lunge
Plank Hip Dips
Ski Jump
Leg Lift
Katie also shared the following diet tips with Squat Wolf:
Counts macros over calories, when you count calories you don't know how nutrient dense or deficient you are.
Eat protein with every meal
Hydrate
Read the labels and cut out all processed foods and ingredients
Be prepared, meal prep
Add greens for fiber and other crucial nutrients
Don't skip breakfast
Eat every 3-4 hours to keep the metabolism working
Shop organic
Find a balance and something that works for your lifestyle. If you have an unattainable diet regimen you won't stick to it.

Golf influencer Karin Hart is making waves both on and off the course, where she's recently shared a video of herself hitting balls in stylish workout gear and her "MGGA" hat, captioned, "Making golf great again ??⛳️?." Known for her active lifestyle and dedication to health, Hart combines her passion for golf with a balanced approach to fitness and self-care. A cancer survivor, Hart has a resilient spirit that drives her to maintain a rigorous workout routine, including five sessions a week with Orangetheory, personal training, and running. She also enjoys tennis and long walks with her dog, showing that variety keeps her fitness engaging and enjoyable.
Hart was diagnosed with Papillary Thyroid Cancer when she was in college, on September 16, 2009. She underwent two surgeries, radioactive iodine treatment, and balanced her thyroid hormones post-thyroidectomy to beat cancer. During treatment, she played lacrosse for her Division I college, competing on her team all 4 seasons, she reveals on her website.
Karin works out 5 times a week. Her favorites are Orangetheory Fitness, training with her personal trainer, and using the Tone It Up app. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:
Develop strong bones
Manage your weight
Enhance your quality of life
Manage chronic conditions
Sharpen your thinking skills
She also enjoys going for runs and takes her dog on long walks in downtown St. Pete. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. "For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories," they say. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.
Golf isn't the only country club sport Karin enjoys. She loves tennis. "How's my serve? ?? #tennis #gamesetmatch #tennisbabes," she captioned a post. According to ACE Fitness it blends together cardio and aerobic exercise, as there is a lot of running around, and hand-eye coordination. "While tennis provides numerous health benefits—improved aerobic fitness and anaerobic endurance, muscular fitness (grip strength and endurance), flexibility, multiple skill parameters (balance, speed, agility and quickness), reactivity, and power—it also is psychologically demanding," they say.
Golf is Karin's go-to sport. A comprehensive review published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that golf's health benefits are extensive, including mind, body, and even lifespan. Benefits include improved longevity, decreased risk of developing heart disease or suffering a stroke, good mental health, and improved strength and balance.

In the photo carousel, she cozies up to the Blink-182 drummer in a bikini, while skiing, while popping a bottle of champagne and on a private plane.
'Happy birthday to the love of my life,' she sweetly captioned the post.

The Poosh founder, 45, also shared a video clip of the couple – who dressed as Morticia and Gomez Addams for Halloween – adorably playing Heart and Soul on the piano and singing along.
Travis' son Landon Barker, 21, also got in on the birthday wishes, sharing two photos on his Instagram for his father's birthday.
'Happy birthday t dog I love you more than life, you inspire me everyday to become better and work harder,' his caption began.
'You always go out of your way to make sure everyone around you understand how loved they are.
'You are my biggest inspiration, everyday my goal is always to be more like you! @travisbarker.'
Travis' daughter Alabama Barker, 18, also got in on the birthday wishes, sharing the menu and a snap of a plate of sushi from her dad's birthday dinner.
Khloé Kardashian also wished the All The Small Things drummer a happy birthday with a snap she shared on her Instagram Stories.
'Happiest of birthdays @travisbarker!!!! I hope you have the most blessed year and you’re forever surrounded by love.'
Travis' last birthday in his 40s comes just days after the couple celebrated their son Rocky Thirteen's first birthday.

Paige Mackenzie has become a social media sensation, captivating audiences with her golf content and impressive skills on the course. Known for her striking swing and energetic personality, Mackenzie inspires fans with her dedication to both her sport and her fitness. Last week, she posted a video on Instagram showcasing her golf swing and asked followers to rate it, captioning the post, "Rate my swing 1-10." Beyond golf, she shares her passion for fitness through workout videos, highlighting her ab exercises, stretching routines, and mountain biking adventures. Whether she's on the course or in the gym, Mackenzie demonstrates her commitment to staying active and living a healthy lifestyle, making her an influential figure in both sports and wellness.
Golf is one of the main ways Mackenzie keeps herself in shape. The sport has a lot of benefits. Better Health reports, "Golf provides a stimulating mental challenge combined with a healthy walk in pleasant surroundings and can be played by people of all abilities and ages. Golf can be played on your own or in a team. It may be a casual pastime or a competitive activity."
Mackenzie has an impressive set of abs. Naturally, she does a lot of ab workouts. Mackenzie shared this TikTok of herself in the gym. In it, she is seen doing ab workouts like v-sit crunches and toe touches. According to The Mayo Clinic, ab workouts have a lot of benefits. "Your core is the central part of your body. It includes your pelvis, lower back, hips and stomach. The stomach muscles sometimes are called abs. Core exercises train the muscles in your core to work in harmony. This leads to better balance and steadiness, also called stability."
In the previous TikTok, Mackenzie is seen holding a plank. Exercise physiologist, Katie Lawton MEd, tells The Cleveland Clinic that planks are very beneficial. "Plank exercises generally strengthen your ability to brace your abdominals," notes Lawton. "Planks can also activate other related muscles, such as your glutes (muscles in your buttocks), hamstrings (muscles in the backs of your thighs) and lower back."
Mackenzie is seen doing stretches for her legs in the previous TikTok. Stretching is very important. Harvard Health reports, "Stretching keeps the muscles flexible and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage."
Mackenzie shared this TikTok of herself biking in the mountains. Biking is a great workout to do. A Healthier Michigan states, "Biking strengthens your muscles. This one, you can feel. When you're pedaling, you can feel it working your calves, your quads and your glutes. These are all big muscles and working these out regularly can have big benefits not only for calorie counting, but also for stronger, leaner legs."

Sun’s out, buns out!
An unbothered Christine Quinn ditched her swimsuit top while vacationing at the luxurious VidantaWorld resort in Mexico.
On Monday, the “Selling Sunset” alum shared a video compilation documenting her relaxing getaway, which included sunbathing in a thong bikini bottom.
“You call me a like it’s a bad thing..,” she cheekily wrote in the caption.
She gave more glimpses into her vacay on Tuesday by sharing a carousel of picturesque snaps.
In one photo, the former reality star, 36, posed in a gold thong sans her top while lounging on the beach and showing off her golden tan.
Quinn also left little to the imagination as she covered her face with a book and covered her chest with her arm.
Later, the “How to Be a Boss B*tch” author posed in a green bikini while standing on a swing set over a shallow swimming pool at the resort.
Quinn — who is currently going through a divorce from Christian Richard — also enjoyed her tropical vacation by taking a walk on the beach, soaking in the hot tub and sipping a beverage at the bar.
It’s unclear who the mother of one was on the getaway with since she was solo in all of her posts.
Her trip to Mexico comes three months after she shaded her ex — whom she married in December 2019 — during a summer vacation.
“Remember ladies, while you’re healing he’s balding,” she captioned a reel of herself posing in a bikini on a yacht in August.
In March, Richard was arrested for domestic violence for allegedly throwing a bag of glass at Quinn.
The former Cisco software engineer then filed for divorce from Quinn in April and cited “irreconcilable differences” as the reason for the split.
The docs obtained by Page Six also revealed that Richard is seeking sole legal and physical custody of their son, whom they welcomed in 2021.
Shortly after, Quinn — who is also seeking full custody — claimed Richard has “perpetrated acts of domestic violence and child abuse against [her] son and [her].”
“I reported these acts of abuse to law enforcement because they were true and because I feared for our safety,” she said in court documents filed in April.

Rayna Vallandingham is celebrating the final drop of this season's Cobra Kai episodes in her workout gear. In a new social media post the actress, who plays the scene-stealing antagonist/influencer Zara Malik, shows off her amazing body in a two-piece martial arts set. "today is the dayyyy ?," she captioned the Instagram snaps and video.
Rayna has been doing taekwondo since she was 2 years old and earned her first black belt at 6. "In the very beginning, my parents put me in the sport because I was just really shy, and I think they could tell that I needed something," says Vallandingham, who lives and trains in Los Angeles. "Immediately, I just loved it. I felt at home, and every single day, instead of watching Dora, I wanted to go to the dojo," she told Well + Good.
Rayna maintains that consistency – at the gym and the martial arts studio – is the key to success. "It is a way of life," she says. "It's not only teaching your body movements and being in synchronicity with your body, but also just like the mental aspect of it."
According to Rayna strength, flexibility, and power are key. "Of the three, I think strength and flexibility are the top two," Vallandingham says. "We used to have people stand on my legs and force my knees to come down in butterfly stretch," she says. "I have permanent damage to my body—I have tendonitis [because of this]."
Vallandingham strength trains, focusing on supersets, doing two moves back-to-back that target the same muscle groups in order to double down on their gains. One of her favorite exercises s is a goblet squat. She stands with her feet shoulder-width apart, fold forward until she can slide her palms underneath her soles (you could also hold your ankles or calves), then bends her knees, lowering her butt toward the floor while lifting her chest, coming into a deep squat. She'll bend and extend her legs several times in this position. Then, it's on to the main event, holding a weight in her hands while bending down into a deep squat. "I love utilizing a Bosu ball—they're pretty much in every single gym," she adds.
Rayna also does a stretch, starting by lying on the floor with her legs up the wall and then allowing them to open out into a side split. "I let gravity do its work because that's my body telling me, okay, this is where we're at," she says. "My hips are opening on their own, and I'm not having to force anything."

Tammy Hembrow is sharing a new workout routine in her exercise clothes. In a new social media post the influencer and trainer shows off her amazing body in a two-piece set. "Train w me ??? workout from @tammyfitapp ofc. I feel SO good after the last TF challenge (even though I missed some of it) I still feel like I saw such good results. I'm fullyyy locked in at the moment in the lead up to the wedding so you will find me skipping no days ??♀️ nothing like a little extra motivation. You'll find me doing our 'gym based glutes' program til the next challenge," she captioned the Instagram clip. Keep reading for details about her exercise routine and diet.
"Meditating really changed my life when I first really discovered its power," Tammy revealed Instagram post. "One of the first times I tried it I got into a deep meditation & had a full out of body experience completely disconnected from my physical being and there was really no looking back from there. I decided then I would dedicate my life to becoming the healthiest happiest version of myself. Meditating for even just 10 minutes a day can help relieve stress, calm your mind & clear it of negative thoughts, and help you really focus on the present ? There's no doubt in my mind meditation has helped me not just in daily life but even in my businesses & creativity." The Mayo Clinic backs up Tammy's claims. "When you meditate, you may clear away the information overload that builds up every day and contributes to your stress," says the Mayo Clinic. Benefits include:
Gaining a new perspective on stressful situations
Building skills to manage your stress
Increasing self-awareness
Focusing on the present
Reducing negative emotions
Increasing imagination and creativity
Increasing patience and tolerance
Lowering resting heart rate
Lowering resting blood pressure
Improving sleep quality
Tammy also does Pilates, which she says "strengthens your deepest core muscles," improves posture and alignment, increases flexibility, and helps with strength training. The Mayo Clinic adds that it "strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility resulting in improved overall health." It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.
Tammy starts her workouts with dynamic stretching. "Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints," says Harvard Health. "Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage."
"Let's hit legs again," she writes about her recent video. In it, she does sumo squats to sumo RDLs, reverse lunges, hip thrusts, band abductions, and upright kickbacks.
Tammy relies on strength training workouts. "I used to work out a lot more before having my kids but currently, I work out 3-4 times a week," Tammy told Women's Best. "I find this is enough for me right now because I've been working out consistently for years and I know my body and when to increase or decrease my calories to help with my goals." What motivates her to exercise isn't just her body. "I honestly feel better when I get my workout in, less sluggish and I find it easier to keep up with my kids," she told New Idea about one of her motivations to sweat. "I honestly feel better when I get my workout in, less sluggish and I find it easier to keep up with my kids. Whether it's a gym workout or HIIT home workout I always try to fit it in when I can."
