Dina Asher-Smith is flashing her abs on the track. In a new social media post the runner shows off her incredible six-pack in an ab-baring Nike crop top and leggings. “April,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


1. No Weightlifting

Dina is one of the few athletes who don’t recommend weightlifting. “I don’t lift weights,” she told Runner’s World. “There are lots of other ways to get power. It’s not about how much weight you can throw around, but how well you use the power that you have.”

2. Planking

Dina does do a lot of planking, an isometric core strength exercise that is great for strengthening abs. She tweaks the traditional plank by starting in plank position, then, one arm at a time, moving into a press-up position. Then, she returns, one arm at a time, to the starting position. She tries to do five rotations in 60 seconds, keeping her hips level.

3. Protein-Fueled Diet

Dina focuses her diet around protein. For breakfast she eats scrambled eggs with spinach and black coffee. “I need help in the morning,” she told Runner’s World. Next up, salmon, rice, and vegetables for lunch. “I really love carrots and sweetcorn.” Dinner is generally chicken, salad, and rice. “It’s fairly repetitive, which is hard for a foodie like me.” Cheat meals are “Definitely!” part of Dina’s life, she added to Cosmopolitan. “If I were constantly 'on' all the time I would eventually crash,” she said. “I really like cupcakes, so once or twice a fortnight (sad how infrequent it is) I'll stop and get my favorite Cookies and Cream one from Lola's. They make me unbelievably happy."

4. Rest

Dina understands the importance of rest. "As odd as it sounds I take a break – which might not seem productive with a deadline approaching. However, when I get stressed it feels like my brain shuts down and can't do anything efficiently, so I will listen to some music or make myself something to eat and then come back when I'm more relaxed," she told Cosmopolitan.

5. Running

A big part of Dina’s training is running and sprinting. She does three sets of 5x160m at race pace, with a 45 second break between reps. “When it feels OK rather than deadly, you know you’re in good shape,” she told Runner’s World. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

Rhiannon Lambert is a wellness expert and influencer. She shares a lot of her tips and advice on Instagram. In a recent post, Lambert talked about the importance of not believing everything you hear. “⛔️DON’T DRINK TAP WATER⛔️… Did I get you?! 😅 To set the record straight, you absolutely can drink tap water and wash your food in it but a filter may be an investment piece… in fear mongering often there can be underlying tones of truth which make things hard to decipher but nothing is black and white 💦💧Not everything you see online is as healthy as it seems! 🧐This is just one example of the fearmongering I see daily on social media😳People post headlines designed to grab attention, but often without the full picture. It’s easy to get caught up in misinformation, but health decisions should be based on facts, not fear! 🚫If you’re ever unsure about anything related to nutrition or wellness, always talk to a registered nutritionist or dietitian. They’ll give you the evidence-based guidance you need to make informed choices✅”
