It takes strength to do what Jade Cargill<\/a> does\u2014not only in the ring as a WWE Superstar, but also at home as a mother, in the front office as an owner of the Atlanta Smoke<\/a>, and in her career as a child psychologist.<\/p>\n

Cargill always been muscular, but during this phase of life, she\u2019s ready to \u201cput the pedal to the metal,\u201d in the gym, she told Women\u2019s Health in the latest installment of Strong Like<\/a>. \u201cI want to look strong as ever.\u201d<\/p>\n

She\u2019s no stranger to the weight room. Cargill played D1 basketball in college, and always felt at-home in the weight room. One of her strength and conditioning coaches during that time remains a major source of inspiration because they pushed Cargill harder than anyone had before.<\/p>\n

Cargill also draws inspiration from Chyna, the prominent WWE star of the late \u201890s and early 2000s. \u201cSeeing her embody, and go out there and shine so bright, I [realized], \u2018That\u2019s what I want to do,\u2019\u201d Cargill says.<\/p>\n

One exercise that makes her feel especially strong is the pull-up. After recently dealt with a severe neck injury, regaining the ability to complete several reps has \u201cmeant the world\u201d to her.<\/p>\n

During the WWE offseason, Cargill trains several days a week and pays special attention to her core, completing an ab circuit five days a days. The strength she\u2019s built helps her nail moves in the ring, including a stalling suplex, which requires her to hold her opponent upside down (!), before falling backwards, slamming them to the ground.<\/p>\n

Cargill maintained that strength through her pregnancy, working out the entire time, fighting through aches and pains. She even worked out on the day she gave birth.<\/p>\n

The core routine that\u2019s built her six-pack\u2014and her incredible strength\u2014starts with two sets of 50 Russian twists while holding a medicine ball. Next, she works on her core control by doing a few sets of in and outs, which require timing her legs and upper body to meet in a V position over her hips.<\/p>\n

Then, she hits a round of bicycle crunches, working on rotation, and into follow throughs, exploding up off the ground in a sit-up like motion. She closes out with a few rounds of minute-long planks.<\/p>\n

One particular achievement she\u2019s proud of: hitting a three minute plank at 34-years-old. \u201cYou never know how strong you are until you push yourself to that limit,\u201d she says.<\/p>\n
