Influencer Sommer Ray in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares a Special Selfie

Sommer Ray is a lot of things. She is a bodybuilder. She’s a fitness model and influencer. She’s a skincare maven, with her line IMARAÏS. And she’s recently started her DJ career. Ray recently shared a new photo on her Instagram story. In it, she wore a green shirt and brown shorts. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Sommer Ray stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Makes Time For Herself

Ray tells Heatworld that she always makes time for herself. "Sundays are all about relaxation,” she says. “I love to take a hot bath, moisturise, curl up in my robe, and de-stress after a busy week. And of course, hang out with my pets. I’m a huge animal fanatic and grew up on a ranch in Colorado surrounded by them, so spending as much time as possible with them is really important to me. It’s my favourite pastime."

2. She Has A Simple Skincare Routine

Ray tells Heatworld that she keeps her skincare simple, and that she kept this in mind when developing her line. "I developed IMARAÏS with my own personal experiences in mind but also taking into account that everyone’s skin is unique. I always have my friends try out my IMARAÏS gummies, and they get hooked quickly as they just taste so good! I feel that most people don’t need a 12-step skincare routine, we need long-lasting solutions that start from within and effective ingredients. That’s exactly what IMARAÏS stands for."

3. She Stays Hydrated

Ray makes sure that she’s staying hydrated. She tells Heatworld that this is one of her biggest wellness secrets. "Making sure I drink enough water, although I am always careful in making sure I don’t waste it. Water wastage is a huge issue that people don’t necessarily think about, but it’s really important to me.”

4. She Has A Morning Routine

Ray likes to start her day off on the right foot. She shared her morning routine with Heatworld. "To me, the key to mornings is getting active as early as possible. Get your heart rate up by doing a workout or going for a run. I always eat a healthy breakfast too, as it sets me up for the busy day ahead. Also, do something to make yourself feel confident. Put on a cute outfit, smile at yourself in the mirror, and just be happy to be you!"

5. She Listens to Her Body

Ray shared some of her fitness secrets in an interview with Cosmopolitan. She says that she does a variety of things to keep herself in shape. "If my glutes are sore, I tell myself, 'I probably shouldn't work them today,' " she says. "I just listen to my body. There’s not a certain exercise or specific workout that’s beneficial. I switch it up every day and try to make it fun, because as soon as it feels like a job, you don’t want to do it."

Sommer Ray is one of the most successful fitness models of all time. She shares a lot of workout secrets on social media and her website. Ray also has her own skincare line, IMARAÏS. Ray recently hit the gym, and made sure to look cute doing so. She shared a photo on her Instagram story of herself in a brown top and gray pants. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Sommer Ray stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Doesn’t Deny Herself

Ray shared some of her diet secrets in this post on her blog. In it, she revealed that while she tries to eat healthy, she also doesn’t deny herself. “On the weekends, and on some weekdays, too, I also like to have a drink — typically, tequila — and whatever else I'm craving. If I want a slice of pizza, I have a slice of pizza. I want to look good, but I also want to enjoy life.

2. She Gets Enough Protein

For Ray, protein plays a big role in her diet. “I try to eat 70 grams of protein a day to maintain my glute muscle mass by starting most mornings with a protein shake, my first of six small meals throughout the day,” she wrote on her blog post. “Sometimes, I'll prepare grilled chicken, veggies and steamed white rice for each of these meals, but more often I'll eat out.

3. She Finds Healthy Options At Restaurants

Ray loves to eat out, however, that doesn’t mean that she eats a ton of unhealthy food. She shared her secrets for finding healthy options at restaurants on her post. “I love In-and-Out Burger! I take my burger without the bun. Then I get my starch later from starchy veggies and whole grains. At Jersey Mike's I'll usually double down on turkey to fill myself up with protein. At regular restos (like I said, I love eating out) I look for seasoned chicken with veggies and sweet potatoes for carbs.

4. She Does Hamstring Curls

In her blog post, Ray revealed that she does hamstring curls. She also says that she has found ways to do more intense curls. “Instead of just lying face down and hooking my ankles behind the bar to engage the back of my legs to bring the bar towards my butt (as directed), I lie face-up with my upper back on the pad, the soles of my feet on the ground, and the bar positioned against my hips. Then, I engage my hamstrings and butt to lift my hips against the resistance until my body forms a straight line between my knees and shoulders.

5. She Has Long-Term Skincare Secrets

For Ray, skincare means finding long-term solutions. She tells Heatworld that this is how she developed IMARAÏS skincare with this in mind. "Growing up I struggled with acne and dry skin, so skincare has always been something that’s fascinated me. Topical solutions just never seemed to work quite right, and I always wanted to avoid heavy medications or chemicals. I developed IMARAÏS with my own personal experiences in mind but also taking into account that everyone’s skin is unique. I always have my friends try out my IMARAÏS gummies, and they get hooked quickly as they just taste so good! I feel that most people don’t need a 12-step skincare routine, we need long-lasting solutions that start from within and effective ingredients. That’s exactly what IMARAÏS stands for."
