MANDY Rose knows a thing or two about being in fabulous form. The WBFF Bikini World Champion, 28, flaunts her toned torso both in the ring and on Instagram, serving up tons of inspiratio­n for her many fans. The WWE Tough Enough alum shares her workout wisdom with Star.

How often do you train?

I train five to six days a week, usually for an hour and a half at the gym. However, being on the road as much as I am now, sometimes I have to train in hotel gyms or even my hotel room. I’ve learned to make it work no matter where I am. That’s one reason why I created the Fit With Mandy app.

What’s a typical workout like for you?

I warm up first and do some cardio, whether it’s on the bike, treadmill or StairMaste­r — just something to warm up my muscles and get my heart rate going. A lot of my workouts consist of HIIT (high-intensity interval training), which is my favorite form of cardio. After my warm-up, I spend 15 minutes stretching and working on mobility — for athletes, it’s important to stretch and do mobility exercises to help prevent injuries. After that, I start my workout. Whether it’s upper- or lower-body day, I do four sets of each exercise, with high reps.

How do you find the motivation to stay so fit and healthy?

Progress — and inspiring others to achieve their goals. There’s always room for improvemen­t, and I personally love seeing all the hard work and dedication play out right in front of my eyes. It’s even more rewarding when I can help others achieve their goals, not only in the fitness industry but also within sports entertainm­ent.

What are your tips for people looking to get in shape?

My biggest tips would be to train hard and give it time — nothing happens overnight. Also, try not to stress out about it!

What can you tell our readers about your Fit With Mandy app?

It’s a 12-week at-home program designed for both men and women of all ages and all skill levels. You can go at your own pace and do this program anywhere — it includes a lot of HIIT exercises, so it requires little to no equipment. I designed the program because I’m always on the road traveling, and sometimes can’t get to a gym with my busy schedule. But with this app, there are no excuses — anyone can make time. It’s available for download now in the App Store, so check it out!
