Sailor Brinkley Cook in Bikini Says Life Is Like “A Box of Chocolates”
Sailor Brinkley Cook is living her best life this summer in her bikini. In a new social media post, the influencer gives her followers a glimpse into her life at the beach. “Life really is like a box of chocolates huh?” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps and clips. How does the star approach diet and fitness? Here are some of her top habits.
She Cardio, HIIT, and Yoga
Sailor is big into exercise. She tries to “work out every day,” she told InStyle. “A normal workout would start with cardio. I’m a big runner—I try to run two miles a day. Then I work out with my trainer at Work Train Fight, doing HIIT workouts like burpees and lunges. If I need a day off, I’ll do yoga or something low-intensity,” she said. If she has a shoot coming up she will “work out like an athlete,” she said. “I add on weight training, I box, and really push my muscles,” focusing on her abs.
Hydration
Sailor is all about hydration. “You want to be hydrated because it shows up in the way your skin looks, in the way that your body looks, in the way that you’re acting and feeling,” she told InStyle. “24 hours before a shoot, I’m drinking a crazy amount of water—I’m talking like three gallons.”
Clean Eating[/slidetitl
“I eat as clean as possible,” Sailor revealed to InStyle. “Lots of lean protein. I’m vegan so I can’t have grilled chicken or salmon, but I go for salads with quinoa and beans and fresh vegetables and then something light, like a sautéed vegetable dish, for dinner.”

Walking is “a really underrated thing people don’t do enough when they’re feeling stressed out,” Sailor told Glamour. “Especially in the city, I’ll put my phone in my pocket, put my headphones in, and I’ll just play my favorite music and take a walk around the city. You just see all these different people of all different walks of life, and the art on the streets, and little fluffy dogs. All these little things remind you that, Okay, we’re all in this together, we’re going through it, you’ve got to make the best of it. That really helps me a lot when I’m feeling chaotic.”
Self-Care
Sailor’s self-care routine involves candles. “I have this connection to candles because I always feel like they represent a moment of self-care for me,” she told People. “I’m never really casually lighting a candle. I’ll light a candle with the intention of getting cozy and feeling calm.” She added: “I knew that hopefully they would bring anyone else that deals with a restless mind these moments of feeling grounded and feeling present and calm and setting your intentions. Each of these candles really brings a great, calm moment to my day.”
