Nikki Bella's Stats and Fitness Journey

Nikki Bella, an American actress, model, and former WWE Superstar wrestler, achieved the impressive feat of winning the Divas Championship twice since her debut in 2008.

Recognized as Diva of the Year by Rolling Stone and securing the top spot in Pro Wrestling Illustrated's rankings, Nikki concluded her wrestling career with her retirement in 2019.

While she identifies as a tomboy, Nikki Bella maintains her fitness through rigorous workouts and adheres to a disciplined diet.

Let's look at her stats before discussing her workout routine.

  • Age: 40
  • Height: 5 feet, 6 inches
  • Weight: Approx. 125 lbs

Nikki Bella’s Workout Routine

Nikki Bella consistently engages in a workout routine that involves going to the gym five times a week for an hour and a half. As observed on social media, her daily training regimen includes:

  1. Starting with a 30-minute cardio session involving treadmill running and sprinting.
  2. Performing 4 lunges with 10-pound medicine balls.
  3. Incorporating one minute of mountain climbers for a comprehensive full-body exercise.
  4. Completing 3 sets of 20 pushups.
  5. Executing 20 squats with a medicine ball to target the arms and butt.
  6. Doing 3 sets of 15 reps with a 5-10 pound dumbbell for capped delts.
  7. Performing 3 sets of 12 push presses for upper body strength.
  8. Concluding with abs, including 50 regular styles and 50 bicycles with alternating legs and hitting the legs with the opposite elbow.

While she used to lift heavy weights in the past, Nikki now prefers exercises like barbell twists, planks, Russian twists, and crunches, which help keep her waistline fat-free and spine muscles strong.

Her Workout Principles

Nikki Bella's workout regimen centers on core strengthening.

In addition to her daily training, she engages in weekly yoga and barre classes with her sister. Barre, combining ballet and pilates, is part of her routine 2-3 times a week.

On non-barre days, she opts for the elliptical, mindful of its knee-friendly design due to the impact of past sports activities.

 “When I’m feeling the burn and dripping with sweat, doing all those abs takes me to the next level.”

Nikki Bella’s Diet Plan

Nikki's diet and lifestyle are different now compared to her wrestling days, but her daily meals are still top-notch for athletes.

Here's a simple breakdown of everything Nikki eats in a day.

Breakfast

  • Black coffee with cinnamon
  • Two scrambled eggs with multigrain toast

Snack

  • Apples, grapes, or fresh cucumbers

Lunch 

  • Sandwich with pickles and chicken breast
  • Veggies like broccoli

Afternoon snack

  • Salad or celery with peanut butter or carrots and fresh guacamole

Dinner

  • Chicken or steak
  • Vegetables

Her Diet Principles

Nikki relies on fresh produce from her garden, often cooked with rice, an egg, and olive or avocado oil.

She counts calories using the MyFitnessPal app for weight stability, guided by the motto "everything in moderation." This principle allows occasional cheat meals, and Nikki believes in not depriving herself to maintain good condition.

Despite being a self-proclaimed "doughnut queen," she enjoys carbs and sweets like sushi, pasta, and pizza. During her pro-wrestling days, she avoided junk food before important performances, easing up afterward.

“It's how God made me. I see traits of my body in my mother and grandmother, and it makes me proud. This shape isn't going anywhere."
- Nikki Bella, Retired Pro Wrestler

What Supplements Does She Take?

To enhance her daily performance and overall well-being, Nikki includes the following supplements in her routine:

  • Protein Shake

Facing a demanding schedule during her professional wrestling days, Nikki turned to a protein shake as a convenient meal substitute, offering the energy and strength necessary for weightlifting [1].

  • Green Tea Extract

Nikki includes Green tea extract in her regimen for weight loss, as it promotes heart health by reducing inflammation and lowering blood pressure [2].

  • Creatine

Wrestlers often use Creatine for enhanced strength and energy, with benefits including support for muscle mass development and improved brain function [3].

As a fitness trainer, I often suggest these supplements to help clients boost their energy, stay focused, and improve performance, making it quicker for them to reach their fitness goals.
