The Real Housewives of Miami's Lisa Hochstein In Workout Gear Shares Leg Day Routine

“Body goals,” one admiring fan said.

The Real Housewives of Miami star Lisa Hochstein doesn't mess around when it comes to her fitness routine. Hochstein, 42, shared a video of herself wearing black leggings and a matching sports bra, using resistance machines at the gym for a series of lower-body exercises. Her workout looks intense—which fans noticed and commented on. "LEG DAY  @anatomy 🦵 ," she captioned the post. "Body goals," one admiring fan said. How does she do it? Here's what Hochstein's diet, exercise, and wellness routine looks like.

1

Ballet Workouts

Hochstein is dedicated to her fitness routine. "I've always been very petite and I've always been into ballet, and I've always been athletic," she told SheKnows. "I work out three times a week, sometimes four. I do cleanses twice a year — I think everyone needs to do them."

Balanced Diet

Hochstein is careful about her diet. "I'm lean naturally, but that doesn't mean I don't have to watch what I eat," she told SheKnows. "Being as tiny as I am, if I put on 10 to 15 pounds, it definitely shows. I eat well all week, and I have a cheat day on Sunday. The rest of the week I eat vegetables and protein, fish, sushi, whole wheat pasta. When I go out to eat, I modify stuff. I ask that they hold the butter or cook it in water, not oil."

Lots of Protein

Hochstein loves including plenty of protein in her diet. "It doesn't bulk you up," she told Katie Devito. "If you eat lean protein it helps you maintain your muscles and keep you nice and toned. I also think women don't eat as much protein as men. I have this philosophy that could be why we age a little faster. The reason I say this is because protein is feeding your muscles and your muscles are attached to your skin, in your face not so much in your body. So if you are feeding your muscles it's keeping your skin and face nice and tight."

Nutrition and Workouts

Hochstein says going to the gym without making an effort with nutrition is pointless. "You're cheating yourself," she told Katie Devito. "You may be building nice muscle, but you will still maybe have a layer of fat that you're not going to lose by eating horribly. You have to eat right. That's number 1 and working out aids that."

Cheat Days

Hochstein says cheat days are important for keeping you on track with health and fitness. "You can give yourself a cheat day," she told Katie Devito. "I feel every 5 to 6 days you should give yourself a cheat day. Have a cheat meal, not necessarily cheat day. That way you have something to look forward to and it's motivating when we have something to look forward to."
