Bella Thorne’s Exercise and Diet: 18 Things We Know
Take a look at Bella Thorne Instagram and you will see that she is a big gym fan. The 24-year-old actress often shares workout videos and photos as well as practical tips for staying fit and healthy in her captions. Whether it’s training with friends and family who will hold you accountable, practicing progressive overload to see results, and “always making time to stretch properly,” she knows her stuff.
Not only that, she works for more than her looks. In May this year, she took to Twitter with an important message: “I’ve been to the gym almost everyday for the past six weeks,” she wrote. “Turns out I only lost a pound of fat and gained a pound of muscle. Throw away your scales ladies because they mean nothing. As long as YOU feel better and you love how you look, that’s all that matters.

15. She practices progressive overload
If you’re unfamiliar, progressive overload is, in a nutshell, the process of gradually increasing the intensity of your workout, so your body adapts and improves over time. There are a few variables you can apply this to, like increasing the time under tension or the number of reps you do.

Captioning a video of herself doing hamstring curls, Bella explained that she alternated between increasing reps and increasing the amount of weight she lifted: “Today I am focused on the glutes and abs. If you want to tone up, do more reps, and if you want to build more muscle, try heavier weights and fewer reps. IT’S NOW TIME TO EAT! The best time to eat after your workout is 45 minutes to 1 hour after you finish your routine.
16. She dances

On the food front, she doesn’t want to cut things. During an interview with Wired, she shared that she was definitely not on the vegan train. “I’m not, I’m so sorry guys. I really want to be. My sister is vegan, so we eat a lot of vegan food, but man, bacon. Oh, it gets me every time.
