Fitness Influencer Chessie King in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shows Off "High-Waisted Leggings"

Chessie King is unveiling the truth about high waisted leggings. In a new social media post the fitness influencer rocks an exercise set, while showing off her followers how high waisted leggings can be deceiving. "It's wasted time believing high waisted leggings. I'm a size that society sees as 'healthy' but after stretching for 9 months to build a hotel womb for Auraelia to check out of, I have a tummy & I can proudly say I bl**dy LOVE it. I also *love* a high waist but not because it 'hides' anything, I've just never ever been a low waist kinda gal [even though I'm a 90s chick] without regurgitating everything I've spoken about for the past 7 years on body confidence, body appreciation, body acceptance, body celebration, body neutrality, I want to continue the conversation that needs no end. if it fuels you with confidence having that 'nipped in' illusion look you get from a high waist, grab your favourite pair & wear them like the goddess you are. But don't let the ilulu make you delulu," she says. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Chessie revealed to Hip & Healthy that "Having a phone-free walk every day, especially at the moment," is key for her physical and mental health, because "there's an endless stream of noise from our email notifications, social media, WhatsApp, zoom meetings," she says. "I enjoy my walks so much more when I'm fully present & aware of my surroundings."

"Self-care is everything; it's sleeping, eating, moving however you want to and also creating those boundaries to conserve some energy. I think it's important to savour some of your battery life for yourself, otherwise you'll burn yourself out," she tells Health & Wellbeing. Her destress tool? "Splattering my brain onto a blank canvas. Painting has become my escapism in lockdown, Mat says I'm the quietest version of myself when I've got a brush in my hand!" she adds to Hip & Healthy.

Her favorite workout? "My mum's zoom yoga classes. Mainly because it feels like I'm at home doing it with her but also because it's like therapy, for my brain and my body," she says. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. "Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood," they said. "People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating."

"Food is my energy, so I constantly need to give my body and mind the right nutrition. I don't follow any diets or cut out any food groups for health reasons, I just eat what I want, when I want and that makes me feel good," she tells Health & Wellbeing. What are her favorite meals? "For breakfast, it's usually an omelette or a smoothie and then I'll go for brunch at the weekends when I have time. I don't eat meat, so a lot of my meals are now based around fish. My favourite lunch is salmon teriyaki with some broccoli; I just love food!"

Her biggest life lesson? "Speaking to myself with as much love and kindness as I do to everyone else – being my own best friend instead of self-sabotaging & constantly trying to change my body," she says.
