Influencer Holly Dolke in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares “The Best Form of Exercise”
Holly Dolke, a fitness coach and influencer, is dedicated to helping others achieve their health and fitness goals. She regularly shares tips and workout routines with her followers on Instagram. In a recent post, Dolke highlighted the key to staying consistent with exercise: making it fun and enjoyable. “Seriously though, I always tell clients that the way to stay consistent is to make fitness fun and enjoyable,” she wrote. From mixing up workouts to focusing on mindset, Dolke emphasizes a balanced approach to wellness. Here’s a closer look at how she keeps fit and maintains a confident, positive mindset.
Dolke likes to do a variety of different things to keep herself in shape. In her Instagram post’s caption, she revealed that this is what helps her stay consistent with her workouts. “Who actually wants to stay consistent with a workout if they dread and hate it? So try different things, see what your body responds to and even switch it up!“
Dolke makes sure to work her shoulders. In this Instagram video, she is seen doing arm circles, arm to waist pull downs, and pull downs. Dolke captioned the post, “Yes these 3 moves are my go to and no equipment needed. I’ve noticed since adding these into my arm circuits, my shoulders have become more defined 💪 Want more like this? Sign up for my coaching that’s 1:1 with me and I’ll create you a whole plan! Link in bio.”
Dolke likes to practice yoga to keep herself in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing poses with her sister. Dolke captioned the post, “In moments of stress, I actually turn to movement. Currently I’m packing up my apartment… shocker, I’m moving again! So in the morning, I’m doing yoga with my sister. Stretching, relaxing and calming the F out 😂 before the chaos begins. I really feel moving is helping keep me in a relaxed state and focused on what needs to be done.”
Dolke makes sure to do ab workouts. One thing she likes to do are reverse crunches. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing them. Dolke captioned it, “Reverse crunches can seem quite easy to be honest but they aren’t if done correctly. Before I had my babies, I used to actually just through my legs up and be done 😅When I learnt how to engage my core and pelvic floor better, then reverse crunches became more intense and harder but the results were great!”
Dolke is all about having self-confidence. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “The mind and body are connected. And to get results PHYSICALLY, we have to embrace and work the MIND. That’s why in my coaching I don’t just give you everything you need for workouts and nutrition, but I give you unconditional support, alongside powerful mindset tools that I’ve personally used along my journey to conquer body image struggles. Confidence and self love comes from within us and we have to learn how to get there. Sign up now in my bio for a free call, and we’ll see how we can work together and give not only the body transformation you want but the mind to go alongside it.”

Les Mills, NZ Olympian and founder of global fitness brand, dies aged 91
Les Mills, the New Zealand Olympian who opened an Auckland gym in 1968 that grew into an international group fitness brand, has died aged 91, his family confirmed.
Mills, a four-time Olympic athlete and former Auckland mayor, and his wife, Colleen, founded the first Les Mills gym on Victoria Street in central Auckland after a sporting career in which he represented New Zealand in shot put and discus.
More than five decades later, Les Mills workouts are used by clubs around the world.
The business, now run by later generations of the Mills family, became internationally known for choreographed group-exercise classes set to music.
Mills’s son, Phillip, joined the business full-time in 1980, and his partner, Jackie, helped develop the music-driven group-fitness model that became central to its global expansion.

Phillip Mills said in a statement that his father had achieved a great deal in his life, but the common thread was that he always wanted to help others.
“Dad was immensely strong, driven, and always cared deeply for the less advantaged,” he said.
“He left a lasting impression on everyone he met, and his spirit lives on in gym workouts around the world, continuing to help people fall in love with fitness.“
Les Mills was born Leslie Roy Mills in Auckland in 1934.
He competed at four Olympic Games from 1960 to 1972 and won five Commonwealth Games medals, including discus gold at the 1966 British Empire and Commonwealth Games in Kingston, Jamaica.
Move into politics
He later moved into local politics and served as mayor of Auckland from 1990 to 1998.
Juliet Yates served on Auckland Council during his first term.
She told RNZ he brought others together.
“He was a very, very pleasant person to work with,” she said.
“He was really good at bringing people together and achieving things for the benefit of the city,”
she said.
“At the time, I think the achievements of the council he was mayor of were benefiting the whole of the city.”
He also remained active in sport as a coach, helping guide New Zealand discus thrower Beatrice Faumuina to the world title in 1997 and Commonwealth Games gold in 1998.
Les Mills was appointed a Member of the Order of the British Empire in 1973 for services to sport and a Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit in 2002 for services to local government and sport.

Chester County has a new outdoor gym with 7 stations for a 7-minute workout
Chester County has an elaborate new outdoor gym, installed as part of a national campaign to encourage exercise and combat obesity.
The infrastructure is called a Fitness Court and it features seven stations that enable people to get a workout in seven minutes.

The Fitness Court was funded by Independence Blue Cross as part of the National Fitness Campaign. The $100 million initiative will work in collaboration with schools and municipalities to build 5,000 outdoor gyms across the country by 2030.
“By investing in accessible, welcoming spaces like this, we’re helping remove barriers to healthier lifestyles and ensuring more residents across Chester County have opportunities to stay active and connected close to home,” Marian Moskowitz, vice chair of the Chester County Board of Commissioners, said in a statement.
Last year, approximately 37% of the people in the United States were obese, down slightly from a record-high of nearly 40% in 2022, a recent Gallup poll reports. The drop is due in part to the rise in GLP-1 weight-loss medications. More than 34% of adults and more than 15% of children in Pennsylvania are obese, according to statistics from the Obesity Action Network, a national nonprofit advocacy group.
Obesity is a chronic condition that increases the risk of high blood pressure, high cholesterol, type 2 diabetes, heart disease, stroke, cancer and other serious health issues.
The Fitness Court is located at Charlestown Township Park, which already had play structures, basketball courts, picnic pavilions and a one-mile paved trail. The new outdoor gym is designed for people 14 and older and adaptable to different fitness levels.
People can use the Fitness Court app for workout challenges and metrics to help people track their exercise goals and outcomes.
Horsham Township in Montgomery County also has a Fitness Court at Lukens Park at 540 Dresher Road.
Other municipalities, schools and organizations throughout Southeastern Pennsylvania that own accessible public space may apply for grants to help build Fitness Courts, according to IBX.
