Two and a Half Men Star Emmanuelle Vaugier in Bikini Is “Looking Good”

Emmanuelle Vaugier is enjoying the final weeks os summer in her bikini. In a new social media post, the Two and a Half Men star flaunts her washboard abs while poolside. “It’s still Summer!” she captioned the Instagram photo. “Always beautiful,” commented a follower. “Looking Good somebody spending time in the gym 🏋️🏋️🏋️🏋️🏋️🏋️🏋️🏋️🏋️🏋️🏋️,” added another. How does the actress approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Emmanuelle is a horseback rider. “I’m usually riding and training with my horse 4 to 5 days a week when I’m not busy with work,” she told Livid. The American Heart Association maintains that riding horses is excellent 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.

Emmanuelle does a lot of workouts. “I do a combination of high-intensity cardio, pilates, or weight lifting workouts 3 to 4 days a week,” she added. Her favorite thing about exercise? “The way I feel after it’s over! And I love how healthy my skin looks after a good sweat!” she revealed.

She also gets her steps in. “I also do a ton of walking with my dogs, on average I’ll walk 3 to 5 miles a day with them, weather permitting… they have a strong dislike for rain lol,” she said. Going for a daily walk can be a game-changer in exercise, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Emmanuelle is all about self-care, especially massage. “Making sure I keep on top of regular massage therapy, chiropractor visits, and sports therapy is also very important to avoid injury,” she told Livid.

She also maintains a healthy diet. “I used to be a lot stricter with my diet. These days, I listen to my body, I eat when I’m hungry,” Emmanuelle told Livid. “I mostly keep my food options healthy and clean… but I do enjoy desserts and the occasional thin crust pizza is always a yummy treat. I find if I don’t deprive myself constantly, I am much happier. I love seafood. Fresh grilled veggies. I LOVE cheese… burrata in particular! For a healthy snack, I always make sure I have a Lara Bar or some nuts to snack on in my purse.”

Hydration is also a key part of her strategy. “Staying hydrated is super important too,” Emmanuelle told Livid. “I always notice when I haven’t been drinking enough water, it will show up in my energy levels, as well as the condition of my skin.” According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is vital for various reasons. Water helps eliminate waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.
