From winning the 2007 WWE Diva Search to emerging as a standout performer in the early 2010s, Eve Torres Gracie enjoyed an impressive career.

However, none of this would have been possible without her dedication to fitness. Now married to renowned jiu-jitsu practitioner Rener Gracie, Torres actively trains in Brazilian jiu-jitsu herself. But the journey from wrestling to jiu-jitsu has been long. Let's see what it looked like.

The former WWE Diva Search winner used to train multiple times a week. However, her real workout routine remains a mystery. During her career, she provided a roadmap for many individuals on how to burn unnecessary calories without using any equipment.

• Running up the stairs (every step)
• Running up the stairs (every other step/sprinting)

That’s not all, the WWE Diva even shared her emergency workouts.
