Riverdale’s Madelaine Petsch in Bikini Is “Just Gonna Leave This Here”

Madelaine Petsch is dropping new swimsuit snaps for her followers. In a new social media post, the Riverdale alum shows off her sensational body in a bare-there bikini while lounging in the sun. “Just gonna leave this here,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “So pretty,” commented one of her followers. “Ok sexy,” added another. How does she keep herself in such fantastic shape? Here are her best diet and fitness tips.

Madelaine is all about exercising, but takes breaks. “I used to feel like I ‘had’ to work out everyday, I’m not sure why. But lately I’ve been going to the gym when it sounds fun to me and more for my mental health. I’ve honestly never felt better or seen better results in my strength. Listen to your body,” Petsch said “The thing I love most about my body is how perplexed I am about all the things it can do. The more I learn about my body the more fascinated I am by it,” she added in a Body Scan video for Women’s Health. “The more I move the happier I’ll be. I link my mental health to working out.”

Madelaine has been a vegan for years. She prioritizes protein in her diet. “Protein is something I really have to be aware of in every meal, or else my energy levels just go completely downhill,” she told Women’s Health. She added that she’s “such a carb fan,” but instead of eating white pasta, she eats a lot of protein pasta, like red lentil pasta. “I need to hit my salivary glands, and I also need to hit my protein.”

Madelaine rides horses, an excellent hobby for mental and physical health. “Wholesome,” she captioned a snap of herself riding. According to the American Heart Association, riding horses is great for your health. It boosts cardiovascular health, builds core strength, burns calories, and lowers blood pressure. It is also great for your mental health as it helps relax you.

If you want flat abs, work for them, says Madelaine. “The body part I love exercising the most is my abs. I think that my abs feel the most pain and I love the feeling of being sore,” she told Women’s Health. “My trainer does this thing called six-minute abs, which is honestly deathly. They are the hardest thing ever.” He doesn’t tell me what it is, every minute or 30 seconds he’ll switch to a new thing but he’ll never tell me because then my brain can’t anticipate it.”

Madelaine detailed her diet to Women’s Health. “I always eat breakfast,” she said. However, her next meal may not be until way later. “It’ll be 5 p.m. and I haven’t had lunch. My energy levels will completely drop. That’s where I struggle, making time to eat because I’ll forget.” She also outlined her diet to People, which amounts to 1,700 calories daily.
