She Does A Variety Of Workouts
Nastia shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with HollywoodLife. She says that when it comes to fitness, she believes in doing a variety of different things. "I try to work out almost every day. I love pilates, I love hot yoga, SoulCycle, just going for a run. If I cant get out to do a class, in my house, I do squats, pushups, a little circuit. There's really no excuse. There is no, 'I don't have access to a gym' — go for a run or a walk outside, do squats in your living room. It's really important to stay young, to stay healthy."
She Doesn't Deprive Herself
When it comes to her diet, Nastia does eat healthy, but she doesn't believe in restricting herself. "The biggest thing is to treat yourself," she says to HollywoodLife. "Because if you tell yourself you can't have something, that's all you're going to want. I remember my mom always told me, if you want a cookie, have a cookie, just don't have the whole box!
She Schedules Her Diet
Nastia's diet is pretty balanced. She revealed in her HollywoodLife interview that she will schedule out what she's likely going to eat ahead of time. "My number one thing is moderation," Nastia says. "If you know on a Saturday night you have a party, and there's going to be tons of not-great food and desserts, try to be good that week and have some salads, greens, and proteins from Monday through Friday. On Saturday, you can indulge and not feel so bad. I'm all about moderation and just living.
