The WWE superstar Charlotte Flair has shared her workout routine ahead of WrestleMania 39 in an episode of WWE Superstar Sheamus’ “Celtic Warrior Workouts” on YouTube. In the video, Flair takes the “Fighting Irishman” through a grueling leg, back, and abs workout. She explains that her exercise routine has evolved over time, and she now focuses more on muscle groups rather than a full-body workout. Flair also notes that she prefers not to exceed an hour of exercise during her training sessions.
In contrast to her first appearance on the show in 2018, Flair no longer focuses on lifting as heavy as possible during her gym sessions. Instead, she prioritizes specific muscle groups and targets them during her workouts. This approach has helped Flair achieve a more ripped physique than ever before, just in time for her upcoming SmackDown Women’s Championship match against Rhea Ripley at WrestleMania 39.
To prepare for her match, Flair follows a strict workout routine that includes a combination of strength training and cardio exercises. She often shares her workout routine on social media and encourages her fans to join her in getting fit. Flair is known for her dedication to fitness and has previously stated that working out is an essential part of her life. Her commitment to staying in shape has undoubtedly played a role in her success as one of the most prominent female wrestlers in WWE history.
Charlotte Flair, the 14-time WWE Women’s champion, recently appeared on episode 125 of Sheamus’ “Celtic Warrior Workouts” on YouTube. In the video, Flair takes the “Fighting Irishman” through a grueling leg, back, and abs workout. The duo performed a warm-up round of each exercise, followed by four working sets with the goal of executing 10-12 reps per set. The workout was filmed on location at the famed Mid-City Gym in New York City.
Pit Shark Belt Squat
The first exercise in Flair’s workout routine is the Pit Shark Belt Squat. As she performs her squats, Flair says that she has been focusing on her legs and is currently bulking. The Pit Shark, a belt squat machine, is different from barbell squats as the belt setup provides more stability and offers a more controlled execution. It’s easier for people with back injuries as there is no weight loaded across a user’s shoulders that compresses the spine. The weights on the belt squats are lower to the ground, which requires greater hip extension and more glute activation.
Hex Bar Deadlift
The second exercise is the hex bar deadlift, which utilizes half-hex bars that make it easier to load weights on and off. Trap bar deadlifts apply less pressure on the back while biasing the posterior chain. They can be used to build strength and muscle in the upper back and traps, similar to the traditional deadlift.
Single-Leg Split Squat For the single-leg split squat, Flair and Sheamus utilized a multifunctional single-leg squat rack and just their body weight. Sheamus noted that the lighter weights and shorter rest times test his stamina. Flair cranked out 20 reps with each leg, while Sheamus hit 15 reps on each side.

Adductor Machine
The fourth exercise in Flair’s routine is the thigh adductor machine, which is a favorite of bodybuilder Hunter Labrada. It emphasizes his inner thighs to give his legs a fuller appearance on stage. For competitors like Sheamus and Flair, well-built adductors aid in overall lower-body strength to lift their fellow combatants in the squared circle.
Abdominal Work
For this portion of the workout, Flair utilizes a full-length punching bag in her abs routine, inserting it at the end of each round. She typically likes to superset abs with push-ups, just something supplemental. The Smackdown Women’s Champion demonstrated an athletic set of eight heavy-bag sit-ups while Sheamus spotted. For his part, Sheamus switched out the heavy bag sit-ups for some hanging leg raises.

Pull-Ups
The final exercise in Flair’s routine is pull-ups. Flair aims to do as many as she can to failure. She nailed four consecutive pull-ups, while Seamus hit six.
