She Does A Variety Of Workouts

Tigerlily likes to do a variety of workouts. She shared her favorite workouts in her Women's Health interview. "I train 5 days a week. Usually it's a combination of running, reformer pilates and weight sessions at the gym. I also go for two walks a day with my dog and try to incorporate a few sessions of yoga at home each week to help my body recover from the training. I love moving my body so much, it's really important for my sleep and my mental health!"

She Does Fitness Challenges

Tigerlily tells Women's Health that she likes to do fitness challenges. Specifically, she does the 1000 rep challenge. "This morning was the first weekday in our Sydney lockdown so I did an 1000 rep challenge at the park. It included 100 of each of the following exercises with a warm up run and warm down run. Squats, Heel taps, Pushups, Glue Bridges, Split Squats, High Knees, Bicep Curls, Tricep Dips, Planking shoulder taps and Burpees!"

She Believes In Balance

Tigerlily talked about her approach to eating in an interview with Women's Health. "For me it's all about balance," she says. "I love to eat lots of fresh fruit and veggies each day but I also love snacking on salty things like chips and crackers… so I tried to make 80% of my day healthy and fresh, and let myself be flexible with the other 20%. Little habits that I have picked up which definitely help me to stay healthy are drinking lots of water throughout the day, making smoothies that are packed with fruit and veggies, and ensuring that my cupboards are always full of snacks for when I get peckish."

She Eats A Plant-Based Diet

Tigerlily eats a plant-based diet. She shared some of her favorite meals in her Women's Health interview. "Breakfast at the moment is avocado, tomato, celery and kimchi on sourdough toast. I don't know what it is about this combination but I'm in love! Quick lunch break in between work (zoom meetings at the moment) means I grab a Ruffie Rustic Foods Frozen meal from the freezer. The portobello mushroom risotto with white beans is currently my favourite.  Afternoon snacks are usually lentil chips, carrots with hummus, or fruit! My favourite dinner at the moment is mushroom meat tacos, loaded with homemade guac, and veggies!"
