Basketball stars Hanna and Haley Cavinder have revealed how they have transformed their diet and workout routines to help them lose weight for their sister’s upcoming wedding. 

The Cavinder twins, 22, have made waves both on and off the court recently – earning more than 4.5 million followers on their joint TikTok account by sharing a glimpse into the many glamorous perks that came with being successful NCAA stars.

The sporting icons have previously shared the rigorous diets and workouts they follow on a day-to-day basis to keep themselves fit, including munching on three meals before lunch. 

However, they have since cut down on how much they eat as they have entered a ‘mini-cut’, which sees them consuming three meals and one snack a day compared to the previous six they used to chow down on, in preparation for their sister Brandi’s wedding.

For their late-night desserts, the twins had a pumpkin spice and cottage cheese wrap. 

The sporting superstars also spoke about how their workout routine has changed. 

The basketballers – who used to focus on lifting weights – revealed they now prioritize cardio. 

‘We are doing more cardio, three leg days, one back day, and one arm day,’ they said. 

The sisters noted that focusing on cardio has become important to them as they ‘love’ their ‘hot girl walks’ and always make sure to get at least 10,000 steps a day. 

They noted they had been spending more time on both the treadmill and the stair master. 

The sisters also showed off their mini grocery haul, which saw them purchasing bananas, noodles, apple sauce, and rice cakes

Workout and slim down! The sporting superstars new exercise routine 

40 minutes on the stairmaster

Weighted ab workouts

Walk 10,000 steps a day 

While they usually set the treadmill incline to 15 and the speed to three-and-a-half, MPH and walk for 40 minutes, this time they spent 40 minutes on the stair master. 

Then, they began their ab routine, which saw them doing weighted crunches. 

In the past, the sisters showed their day-to-day diet, which saw them eating more food to nourish their bodies and listen to their minds. 

Before entering their ‘mini-cut’ to ‘tighten up,’ the twins started their morning with 40 ounces of water, high-protein oats with blueberries and nut butter, and an energy drink. 

For breakfast, they had a cold brew and half an English muffin with peanut butter. 

Then, they snacked on another half an English muffin with egg whites and sausage. 

For lunch, they had a whole wheat sandwich with grilled chicken, Greek yogurt, avocado dressing. 

And then they munched on their afternoon snack, which was a watermelon salad with jalapenos, feta cheese, lettuce, and balsamic dressing, and protein ice cream made with lactose-free milk topped with fruit and peanut butter.

Before deciding they wanted to ‘tighten’ up, the basketball stars had a much more rigorous workout routine. 

They used to focus on lifting weights, and frequently alternated between arm and leg day. 

In the past, the athletes showed off their weighted leg workout. 

It included three sets of Romanian deadlifts, single leg extensions, barbell box squats, sumo deadlifts on the Smith machine, deficit reverse lunges, dumbbell sumo squat pulses and glute cable kickbacks. 

Hanna and Haley were born in South Bend, Indiana, but moved to Phoenix, Arizona, at a young age.

Both of them began playing basketball before they even started preschool – and dominated throughout middle and high school.

After graduating from Gilbert High School, the sisters headed to Fresno State, where they both broke a slew of records. 

All the while, the sisters were growing in popularity online – and by the time they transferred to the University of Miami in 2022, they were the most followed athletes to have played basketball for the college.

The twins have now amassed 4.5 million followers on their joint TikTok account, and have racked in a whopping 145 million likes across their videos.

They’ve also gained over 700,000 followers each on their personal Instagram accounts.

In June 2021, when the NCAA officially started allowing its athletes to earn a profit off of their name, image, and likeness – the social media sensations became the first college athlete to land a brand deal, signing with Boost Mobile within minutes.

They’ve since landed more than 40 sponsorships with companies like Champs Sports, the nutrition brand Six Star, athletic footwear and apparel line Eastbay, and finance company SoFi, among others – earning them $1.7 million as of July 2022, per Forbes.

They also co-founded their own clothing company, called Baseline Team, and started a podcast, called Twin Talk. In addition, they signed a deal with WWE’s Next In Line program in 2021 – which is designed to develop college athletes into potential professional wrestlers.

Earlier this year, the sisters announced that they were ending their college basketball careers to instead focus on other endeavors, despite being invited to play for Miami for one more year.

They recently moved into their ‘dream apartment’ together – a sprawling, two-bedroom unit in a lavish skyrise building located the heart of Fort Lauderdale, which comes complete with an enormous balcony, floor-to-ceiling windows, and two walk-in closets.
