Chrishell Stause is doing Pilates – in her sports bra and leggings. In a new social media post the Selling Sunset star gives her followers a glimpse of her reformer Pilates routine, showing off her washboard abs in the process. How does the reality star approach health and wellness? Celebwell rounded up her top lifestyle habits.

1. HIIT Workouts

Chrishell works out with Ocho, a personal trainer and the founder of fitness studio Power 8 in LA. "A week of workouts for Chrishell can vary," he told Women's Health. "Her schedule is very hectic, so we get in what we can, and HIIT training is one of the most efficient ways she can build muscle and burn fat at the same time."

2. Weight Training

She also lifts weights. "We do heavyweight and plyometrics, as well as HIIT, so that her body is always moving and so that she never gets bulky, but still gains strength," Ocho told Women’s Health.

3. Breakfast

Chrishell told Women's Health that she is a breakfast eater. "What I love for breakfast is eggs," she said. "My favorite thing is scrambled egg whites with cheddar cheese and pepper." When she is busy she will get a quick fix. "Lately it's probably been more of a protein bar," she admitted. "When I'm busy, I normally either grab a banana and peanut butter, or a protein bar. I'm obsessed with peanut butter."

4. Italian Food

Chrishell is a fan of Italian food. "I haven't really met a pasta that I don't like, but I guess my favorite would probably be bucatini with cracked pepper and Parmesan cheese," she said. "I love fish. I also love sushi and pizza." She also likes to cook. "One dish I'm proud of is my spicy shrimp pasta. It's so good and has a little kick to it," she told Women's Health. "I'll do it with whole-wheat noodles, sautéed shrimp, red pepper chili flakes and a spicier tomato sauce."

5. Pialtes

Chrishell “practices Pilates once or twice a week to lengthen, stretch and recover," Ocho adds. "It’s low impact and allows her to reset, while still getting a good workout in." According to the Mayo Clinic there are lots of benefits to the workout, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility resulting in improved overall health. It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

In them, Stause and her co-star, Emma Hernan, enjoyed a day on a boat. Stause posed in a pink bathing suit and sunglasses, looking gorgeous. How does she stay fit?

1. She Does HIIT

Stause’s personal trainer, Ocho, revealed her favorite workouts to Women’s Health. He says that Stause likes to do HIIT. "Her schedule is very hectic, so we get in what we can,” Ocho explained. “HIIT training is one of the most efficient ways she can build muscle and burn fat at the same time." "HIIT is a type of interval training exercise. It incorporates several rounds that alternate between several minutes of high intensity movements to significantly increase the heart rate to at least 80% of one’s maximum heart rate, followed by short periods of lower intensity movements. Interval training was first introduced in the 1950s as a higher intensity form called sprint interval training, which reached 100% maximum heart rate and was used to improve the performance of elite Olympic athletes," says Harvard Health.

2. She Weight Trains

Stause also likes to do weight training as a way to stay in shape. Ocho told Women’s Health that he likes to build the reality star’s muscles. "We do heavyweight and plyometrics, as well as HIIT, so that her body is always moving and so that she never gets bulky, but still gains strength," he explained. "Most adults lose about one-half pound of muscle per year after the age of 30, largely due to decreased activity. Muscle tissue is partly responsible for the number of calories burned at rest (the basal metabolic rate, or BMR). As muscle mass increases, BMR increases, making it easier to maintain a healthy body weight," says ACE Fitness.

3. She Does Pilates

Stause loves to do Pilates as a form of exercise. "She practices Pilates once or twice a week to lengthen, stretch and recover," Ocho tells Women’s Health. "It’s low impact and allows her to reset, while still getting a good workout in." "Strengthening exercises not only protect your bone health, but also speed your metabolism and improve your balance. In addition, building stronger muscles helps to protect and stabilize your joints, which can prevent injury and ease discomfort," says Harvard Health.

4. She Loves Eggs

Stause broke down some of her favorite foods and her typical diet to Women’s Health. She says that she likes to eat a healthy breakfast, and has a go-to meal in particular. "What I love for breakfast is eggs," she said. "My favourite thing is scrambled egg whites with cheddar cheese and pepper." "Most healthy people can eat up to seven eggs a week without increasing their risk of heart disease. Some studies have shown that this level of egg consumption might even help prevent certain types of stroke and a serious eye condition called macular degeneration that can lead to blindness," says the Mayo Clinic.

5. She Makes Healthy Snacks

Stause revealed some of her favorite healthy snacks to Women’s Health. “When I'm busy, I normally either grab a banana and peanut butter, or a protein bar. I'm obsessed with peanut butter." "Is peanut butter good for you? Ilyse Schapiro, MS, RD, CDN thinks so. She shares that peanut butter's monounsaturated fat and protein are highly satiating," says our sister site Eat This, Not That! "How to eat peanut butter for weight loss:

• Have peanut butter on toast for breakfast with bananas and chia seeds
• Add peanut butter to a sandwich for lunch with crushed whole raspberries
• Pair peanut butter with an apple for a snack that can prevent you from overeating."

1. Personal Trainer HIIT Workouts

Stause does HIIT workouts with personal trainer Ocho (real name Nyme Manns). “She has been killing my programme since we first started,” Ocho tells Women’s Health. “Her drive, determination and work ethic mean she adapts and destroys everything I put her through… A week of workouts for Chrishell can vary. Her schedule is very hectic, so we get in what we can, and HIIT training is one of the most efficient ways she can build muscle and burn fat at the same time.”

2. Challenging Workouts

Ocho expects his clients to give 100 percent, and says Stause never disappoints. “We do heavyweight and plyometrics, as well as HIIT, so that her body is always moving and so that she never gets bulky, but still gains strength,” Ocho tells Women’s Health. I always keep workouts fun, creative and challenging. I’m always throwing something different at Chrishell to challenge her. The way I feel is, ‘If you aren’t being challenged by your trainer, what do you have him for?’”

3. Facials and Botox

Stause is open about her cosmetic skin treatments. “I've been to Dr. Diamond for the Diamond Facial,” she told Refinery29. “It makes the skin rough for a couple days after, but the results are great. It helps with skin cell turnover and rejuvenates the face, making it super smooth. I get Botox every 5 months, and I'm about to try Emface, which I’ve heard a lot about. It uses electric currents to stimulate the muscles.”

4. Active Recovery Days

Stause’s rest days are active recovery—for example with long walks and Pilates. “She has at least two or three rest days per week,” Ocho tells Women’s Health. “We do a dynamic warm up for at least 10 minutes before every workout,’ he says. ‘I make sure Chrishell is mobile and stable before each workout, to get the body warm and prepared for the work she’s about to put in.”

5. Selling Sunset Besties

Stause has few regrets about being on reality TV, especially as she met some of her best friends through Selling Sunset. “The show has been such a blessing, and of course, at times it’s hard,” she told Molly Sims. “It brings drama to your life that you wouldn’t normally have. I feel like I have gotten to a place where I’m so grateful for what the show has brought. It has pros and cons and the pros are way better than the cons. When I was on the show, I didn’t want to do anything that would give me anxiety. But when we had to do stuff to go outside to promote the show I chose not to go. So I took a stance of I’m not going to do it if I don’t want to. Emma is my ride or die. We became so close so fast. We live close. We’re both single and she’s a caretaker and so am I.”

After she's done with the medicine ball, Biel does sit-ups, but only does a few in the video, because her husband, Justin Timberlake, interrupts her workout, something he loves to do. He pretends to put his foot on her stomach and she laughs. She looks at the camera and says, "That was my man."

4. She Eats A Lot of Fruits and Veggies

Biel is very mindful of what she eats and consumes lean proteins, whole foods, and fruits and vegetables. She posted a delicious salad she made with apricots, cucumber, tomato, sunflower seeds. mozzarella balls, basil, and brown rice.

Biel typically sticks to a well-balanced and clean diet, but she does allow herself to indulge. “A big cheat day in my world is very full on," she told InStyle. "When I’m going for it, I’m going for it. I’m going to have a million cups of coffee in the morning and then it’s going to be wine for lunch, pasta for lunch. There’s going to be another aperitif after lunch and a dessert and then probably more coffee." It doesn't end there. “And then a dinner that’s going to last for a million hours that’s just pasta, pasta, pasta, maybe an affogato, maybe another pasta. A lot of wine. More after-dinner drinks. Just really go for it,” she said.
