Ice Dancer Tessa Virtue in Two-Piece Workout Gear Has "First Workout Back"

Tessa Virtue is breaking a sweat with her trainer, Torrie Borland – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the ice dancer gives her fitness guru a shout out, while also showing off her fantastic figure in a two-piece exercise set. "I could go on and on about @torriebfit – but all you really need to know is that she's the best. Today was our first workout back in person for several months and OH MY WAS IT EVER FUN," she captioned the Instagram post. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Tessa mixes up her workouts. "Leading into the Olympics, Scott [Moir] and I typically skated for four hours a day, and would then spend two hours in the gym doing various workouts including cycling, Pilates, strength circuits, and sometimes even ballroom dancing!" she revealed to Canadian Living.

Tessa takes recovery seriously. "As an older athlete, the balance of work and recovery has become more important.  Much of a training day is devoted to treatment – we work with a massage therapist, an osteopath, and a physiotherapist," she revealed. According to the Mayo Clinic, studies support the many benefits of getting a regular rub down. These include stress reduction, lessening pain and muscle tightness, increased relaxation, and improved immunity.

Tessa starts the day with an ayurvedic favorite. "The first thing I do every morning is have a glass of hot water with lemon for its alkalinity and detox effects," she told Canadian Living. She also makes sure to hydrate throughout the day. "I drink a lot of water, sleep as much as I can, and moisturize."df44d9eab23ea271ddde7545ae2c09ec

Tessa is a big fan of baths. "I love lighting candles, putting Epsom salts in the bathtub, putting on a "chill" playlist and soaking – it's a great way to decompress, unwind, and let my mind calm down" she told Canadian Living about her self-care routine. How can baths do your body and mind good? They have been linked to better sleep and even found helpful to minimize anxiety and depression. One recent study even found that they may even boast cardiovascular benefits.

"My diet isn't too strict, instead I focus on eating healthfully," she told Canadian Living. "I have such a sweet tooth, and I've learned not to deprive myself, but rather practice moderation. I'm not a big cook, but I'll make poached eggs, smoothies and overnight oats." In general, she tries to eat whole foods. "If I had to categorize my diet it would be just eating clean," she added to Strong Fitness Magazine. "I make sure to get lots of protein, and I love fruits and vegetables. However, I also leave room for treats. I'm a sucker for any and all kinds of dessert, and I've learned not to deprive myself, but rather maintain a healthy balance."
