Influencer Caitlin Rice in Workout Gear Says "Life is Just Good Lately"

Caitlin Rice is sharing gratitude in her workout gear. In a new social media post the fitness influencer flaunts her famous figure in a one-piece catsuit. “Life is jut gooooood lately 🥹🥰😊🫶,” she captioned the post. “You're looking beautiful as always!🔥🔥😍😍🍑🍑💙💙,” commented one of her followers. “Absolutely Gorgeous 🔥💙” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. She Was “Skinny Fat” Before Finding Fitness

Caitlin used to model when she was 16. “My diet was absolutely horrible. The fashion industry put pressure on me to be rail thin so my diet ended up consisting of pretty much nothing. I was on the verge of an eating disorder, malnourished, and unhappy. I decided to get away from that lifestyle and focus on my education and career of becoming an international lawyer,” she told Mo Marketplace about how she got into fitness as a career. “I started doing a bit of cardio and a lot of partying! I was eating again but not very healthfully. I gained 15 pounds and was what I call ‘skinny fat.’ I had no muscle definition and a little belly from all the alcohol and bad food I was consuming. I decided it was time to turn things around. I stopped going out on the weekends and stopped partying.”

2. Weight Lifting

“I started hitting the weights and did a lot of research. I learned how to lift weights properly and quite simply fell in love with it. Lifting became a lifestyle and pretty much the best part of my day. I always strive for progress. Being fit is so much more than just looking good and having a good body,” she said.

3. Hiking

She also enjoys outdoor activities. “I absolutely love spending my time outside soaking up the sun, whether it be hiking or playing on the beach with my pup,” she says.

4. Exercise Classes

Caitlin is all about exercise classes. “I absolutely love the gym and working out. I love finding new ways to get sweaty too! I’m always down to try a new class like Pilates or Barre,” she said.

5. Here Is What She Eats in a Day

Caitlin eats around 1800 calories. “I do track and manage everything to hit my exact macros. When I am not on a prep and dieting super hard, I am not as strict and don’t track, but to reach my current goals, tracking is necessary,” she says. “My breakfast is typically two whole eggs, a cup of egg whites with some veggies (onions and peppers), with a bowl of berries (1 cup or half a grapefruit). Meal number 2 is a small salad with lean ground turkey. Meal number 3 is one cup of brown rice, chicken, and broccoli. Meal number 4 is 6oz of sweet potato, salmon and asparagus. Meal 5 is a protein shake with all-natural peanut butter. No snacks in between!” she says.

6. Here Is Her Workout Split

“I am currently working with a coach so my recent workout split has been under his direction. I decided to work with a coach because it makes it so much easier than doing my own programming and I am accountable to someone else,” she says. “When I coach myself, I tend to be WAY more strict than necessary and then overwork myself. So It’s nice to have outside perspective and guidance. Even coaches need coaches! My current goals are to lose weight and get conditioned to possibly do my first ever fitness competition!”

Here is her workout split right now:

• Monday: Back and Hamstrings
• Tuesday: Shoulders and Abs
• Wednesday: Leg day (glute focused)
• Thursday: Arms and Abs
• Friday: Full body HIIT/Plyos
• Saturday: Legs- Quad focused
• Sunday: Rest

Carys Gray is an influencer known for sharing her fitness, weight loss, and body positivity journey. Recently, she shared a body positive post on Instagram. Gray captioned the post, “Recent reality snippets 📷 I wouldn’t change it for the world, but sometimes social media can make me feel like I should try to get my act together more and be more picture perfect 😒summer is the peak time for perfect glowing posed pictures which I loveee to see BUT I also love to see the messy chaos and perfectly imperfect moments. Which there are far far far more of in my life than the picture perfect ones 🤣🥹 don’t you dare forget that this summer as you’re scrolling!!!! Your perfectly chaotic messy life is perfect just as it is.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Carys Gray stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Writes A Feel-Good List Each Day

Gray revealed in this Instagram post that she likes to write lists of what wellness practices she does each day. “FEEL GOOD FOR SUMMER WITH ME,” she wrote in the caption. “A little series/challenge I’m starting. Who’s joining me??🙋🏼‍♀️ all we have to do is write a daily feel good to do list which revolves around small steps you’d like to take towards a healthier, stronger, happier you 🧡 this is NOT about looks, weight or body shape, this is not about putting pressure on yourself or restricting yourself. This is not about strict routines or schedules. This is about LOVE, Self care, kindness, respect and trying our best for our bodies however that may look 🧡 I’ve included an example of one of my feel good to do lists in this post along with some other reminders we all need before starting our little series together. LET’S GO GUYS.”

2. She Enjoys Exercising

Gray shared this video on Instagram of herself working out. She revealed in the caption that she loves to exercise. “I still love working on celebrating my body shape at different stages of my life but how my body looks is no longer the reason I step foot in the gym🙅🏼‍♀️ it’s so much more than that now. Here’s some things I love about exercise that aren’t related to how my body looks: - Mental health benefits. - Getting stronger. - Feeling powerful and confident. - Releases endorphins. - Reduces anxiety levels. - Gives me a sense of accomplishment / challenges my body. - Improves my fitness so I can run around with Amber. - Easier to get to sleep. - More energy in the days/mornings. - Looking after myself / Self care 🤍”

3. She Lifts Weights

In the previous Instagram post, Gray is seen doing RDLs with a weight. ACE Fitness states that lifting heavy weights is very beneficial. “Using heavy weights increases intramuscular coordination, the number of type II motor units and the amount of muscle fibers engaged within a specific muscle. Have you ever felt your muscles shaking while lifting heavy weights? This is because you are recruiting and activating the larger type II muscle fibers, which are only stimulated to work when a muscle is challenged with heavy resistance or working to fatigue.”

4. She Swims

Gray loves to swim to stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself in the pool. Gray captioned the post, “Spa day ✨ I remember when I first started gaining weight I put away all my bikinis and ordered 3 full body swimsuits from ASOS...🙄 I’ve come a long way since then but all I can say is, wear what you want and feel GOOD in it!!! You shine brightest when you’re just being YOU from the inside out ✨ ps: the water was SO much colder than I thought it was going to be.”

5. She’s Positive

Gray is all about positivity, and she talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “I doubt any of us would define ‘living life’ as tearing ourselves down 80% of the time??! So why do we do it!!!? Living life is showing up exactly AS WE ARE! Whatever stage we’re at, life keeps going and we gotta keep up! Constantly being our biggest critic is exhausting and a WASTE of time. Our ‘best self’ isn’t us at our ‘slimmest’ or ‘curviest’ or ‘in 2008...’ this is the NOW and this is YOU. You’re bloody fabulous!! Show up, exist, be you, accept, love, laugh, grow, and realise.. you are ENOUGH.”

1. Sweating For Good Headspace

Greene previously talked about her love for Rise Nation workouts in Los Angeles. “Mentally, for me, it’s so important. It really keeps me kind of sharp and focused,” she told Women’s Health. “I kind of alternate between doing the Versa classes and strength training and I’m waiting for the day that I can do them both in one day! It’s always that thing where, even when I don’t go to the gym, if I’m just sweating and being active – even if it’s not an intense session – I always feel so much better and things are much more organized in my head.”

2. Fueling Her Workouts

Greene eats to fuel her workouts. “I used to have to have breakfast, but it was, like, yogurt,” she told Women’s Health. “Now I have to have two pieces of wholegrain toast and almond butter, honey and bananas on top. That would bother some people because it’s got a decent amount of fat, but you have to recognise that it’s fuel; it doesn’t matter if I’m putting calories and fat into my body – I need it to do the type of strength training that I like to do.”

3. Postpartum Fitness

Greene was careful about jumping back into her workout routine after welcoming daughter Kingsley Rainn in September 2022. "I wanted to feel fully back into my body… I really wanted to focus on making sure that I gave myself enough rest for everything to go back into place, and made sure that I wasn't trying to jump back into where I was and hurting myself," she told PEOPLE. "I feel like there's this idea that you are cleared after eight weeks and you can just jump back in, and that is so far from the case. I think it's really damaging to a lot of people.”

4. Learning Self-Confidence

Greene has learned to become comfortable and confident in her own skin. “I don't know that I've ever met someone who hasn't had some type of insecure moment or stage,” she told HuffPost. “You're growing and you're learning, and some days are good and some are bad. I'm definitely the most comfortable in my skin than I've ever been. I understand that a lot of things aren't the end of the world.”

5. Gym Owner

Greene and husband Paul Khory opened their own gym NexGen Fitness in Sherman Oaks, CA, and she is thrilled her daughter will grow up being familiar with the place. “She was just running around this place that holds so much importance to all of us,” she told PEOPLE. “She’ll grow up understanding and have such a toolbox for mental health and physical fitness and reproductive rights, and that’s such a cool thing to be able to give all that to your daughter. It’s much more fulfilling to put your name and your face behind something that you truly care about."
