Fitness Model Carly Baker in Two-Piece Workout Gear is in "Abu Dhabi"

Carly Baker is heating up the United Arab Emirates – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the model and influencer flaunts her amazingly fit figure in exercise clothes and swimsuits while vacationing in the middle east. "Abu Dhabi," she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. "Absolutely gorgeous," commented one of her followers. "Absolutely pure perfection," added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits. 

"Fitness is my biggest passion so I hit the gym four or five days a week – six if I can. As a qualified personal trainer I know what I'm doing and though I love cardio, I also do a lot of resistance training. You don't see many women hitting the weights, but they're amazing for building functional strength and burning fat. I like switching up sessions every time but the common theme is going hard and getting my heart rate up," Carly told Coach Web about her workout routine. 

Carly eats clean. "I recently experimented with vegetarianism but since I don't use supplements I started to worry I wasn't getting enough quality protein, so I re-introduced fish to my diet. I eat a lot of fruit, salads and sweet potato and, if I'm being naughty, dark chocolate," she told Coach Web. She added to the Irish Examiner that she loves avocado. 

Carly enjoys cycling classes. "I train about four to five times a week if I can — resistance, cardio, viper, spin — I do a lot of classes. I enjoy it," she told the Irish Examiner. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis. 

Carly hydrates. She also avoids drinking. "I hardly ever drink alcohol," she said. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

Prayer and meditation are also an important part of Carly's life. "I say prayers on a daily basis. I go to church — I think it's good for you," she said. "When you meditate, you may clear away the information overload that builds up every day and contributes to your stress," says the Mayo Clinic. Benefits include:
