Valentina Lequeux is squatting in the new year – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the influencer shows off her amazing figure during an intense workout session. "Squat Day," she captioned the post, going on to reveal her workout routine. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
She Hit Bottom
Lequeux hit a bottom when a relationship of five years ended. "I became very depressed and wasn't eating properly. This was the lowest point I found my weight—I was 113 pounds at a height of 5'8″, so you can imagine how malnourished I was," she said in another interview with Muscle & Fitness.
Exercising 5 Days A Week
Valentina works out regularly. "It's not easy," she told Muscle & Fitness. "I'm in the gym five days a week. I want to show the world what it takes to make a change and have an impact on my Instagram."
Workout Buddy
She ended up meeting her future husband and coach, Luis. "He is my coach and nutritionist, and he also knows how to push my buttons, in the wrong way and the right way," Lequeux says. "The gym is where he is no longer my husband and just my coach. He breaks me in there every time and has no remorse for me. This is what my type of character needed, someone to push me around in the gym and test my limits."
She Does Core HIIT Workouts
She recently shared a hardcore "Core HIIT" workout. "If you want VISIBLE abs, remember this: it doesn't matter how many reps or sets you do…If you are eating in surplus and high in body fat your abs won't show! Shredded abs formula: moderate caloric deficit." She offered more details: "Set a 15-20 min timer and perform in AMRAP style. Do as many reps as possible of all 4 exercises one after the other. Leave 1 minute of recovery at the end of each round until completing the 15-29 minutes," she says.
1. Leg rise + abduction
2.In and out crunch + half circle X15
3.High knees 20 sec (nonstop)
4.Banded bicycles X15
5.3 air squats + 3 abductions AMRAP 30 sec
