If you're an ardent follower of Gabrielle Union's Instagram, you're well aware that she takes fitness seriously. The actress consistently shares videos of her intense workout routines. Recently, she shared two consecutive full-body workouts that she completed in her garage.
On Monday, Union revealed the first workout, giving off vibes that she's always ready for some hardcore training. Clearly, she didn't skip a beat as she effortlessly completed a variety of strength exercises. (She initiated with Romanian deadlifts and followed it up with bent-over rows, hip thrusts, and lying pullovers, utilizing dumbbells for all.) Next, she used a tissue box for a challenging balance exercise. Placing the box on her back, she executed bird dogs on a bench. In her post, she commented, "It's tougher than it seems but this can be done on the floor."
She concluded her routine with resistance band reverse flys (highly effective for enhancing posture) and a plank series to target her core. Her regimen included 30 seconds of plank-to-pikes using sliders, a 30-second plank hold, and mountain climbers employing the sliders.
Union is back in action and is consistently seen sporting some of the finest athletic apparel. The appealing black marble pattern set from KiraGrace she wore, consisting of High-Waisted Yoga Leggings and a Crop Top in Black Onyx, caught attention, although these styles are currently not available. However, if you're a fan of the marble design, consider the Nasty Gal Polish It Off Marble Workout Crop Top (Buy It, $8, $25, nastygal.com) and matching Nasty Gal Polish It Off Marble Workout Leggings (Buy It, $7, $45, nastygal.com), which are presently offered at a significant discount.

Despite the intensity of her Monday workout, Union was back with another fitness post the next day. She began with two types of squats aimed at strengthening her glutes, quads, and hamstrings: goblet box squats and a variant where she'd squat down to the bench then rise back up on one leg, imitating a pistol squat. She followed this with two upper body exercises: dumbbell bench presses, targeting most muscles in the upper body, and skull crushers, focusing mainly on the triceps. Afterward, Union performed Bulgarian split squats and triceps kickbacks, before proceeding to core exercises. This time, she tackled single-leg leg lifts, commandos, and high plank shoulder taps. But Union wasn't done yet. She proceeded with a squat to thruster combo, stating they "get the heart rate up and build that butt." Finally, she wrapped up her workout with a quick jump-rope session. After this intense workout, Union was practically glowing in her post-workout selfie.
On her workout schedule for Tuesday, Union was seen decked out in yet another eye-catching ensemble. Sporting a radiant purple pair of leggings coupled with a long-sleeved shirt from Fabletics, she certainly made a fashion statement. The items she wore were the Fabletics Valeria Sculptknit L/S Top (Buy It, $50, fabletics.com) and the Fabletics Mid-Rise SculptKnit Leopard 7/8 Leggings (Buy It, $65, fabletics.com), which featured mesh details in a leopard print. An interesting fact is that if you are a VIP member of Fabletics, you can grab this entire outfit for just $70.
