Heidi Montag in Bikini Is “Home Sweet Home”

Heidi Montag is posing in her bikini. In a new social media post, The Hills star shows off her fabulous figure in a skimpy swimsuit and cowgirl hat. “Home sweet home… and I found what I’ve been looking for 💋,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does the reality star-turned-singer approach health and wellness? Here are her top diet and fitness habits.

Heidi’s approach starts with a healthy diet. “I think that eating healthy is the No. 1 priority, because if you eat healthy, there’s less pressure for getting in the gym,” Heidi recently told the NY Post. She tries to maintain balance, eating protein with every meal along with healthy fats, vegetables, and fruit. She loves hard-boiled eggs, avocados, and bananas. “But with kids around, it’s really challenging!” she admitted. “I’ll always sneak a bite of the cake or mac and cheese. It’s like, all these kids’ foods are so good.”

She also ensures that she consumes probiotics for gut health, so she incorporates things like yogurt and fermented pickles into her meal plan. “I noticed that my body functions better with it. So I have yogurt every single day,” she said.

She also drinks energy drinks. “I definitely have my Ryde energy drink because you can’t work out without a little boost,” she said.

Heidi exercises regularly. “Sometimes it’s hard to get in the gym, and I’ll just set a time, like an appointment,” she added. Her routine is a combo of the treadmill and VersaClimber for about a half hour, followed by lifting heavy weights. “I love working out. I love lifting weights. If I could do it every day, I would,” she said. She also uses the SquatMax, which has been “life-changing” for eliminating lower back pain when she lifts heavy.

She also dances. “I have dance rehearsal, but it’s definitely different than being in your gym, watching your show, listening to your music, or whatever it is, and having that time. So for me, it’s really sacred to work out, and it’s fun.” Dancing is an excellent workout for many reasons. It builds strength and promotes flexibility, helps you lose weight, and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop or die from heart disease than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.
