People have different water needs based on their weight, activity level, how much they sweat, how hot it is, what medications they’re on and what they eat.”

3. She took care of herself when pregnant and breastfeeding

Referring to postpartum weight loss, she knew she had to approach things in a healthy way, not just for her, but for her baby. She said on Instagram “I did NOT do the intermittent fasting recommended on the plan (this is not advisable while breastfeeding or pregnant). I also skipped recipes with apple cider vinegar and stuck to my post pregnancy supplements.”

4. She works hard to maintain healthy habits

In a video of her working out, she said on Instagram “As we age, staying active and maintaining healthy eating habits are crucial for a vibrant life.” She continues on to explain why, “here’s why: Stronger Body, Stronger Mind: Exercise keeps muscles and bones strong, reducing the risk of falls and fractures. Plus, it boosts brain function and mood! Heart Health: Regular physical activity lowers blood pressure and cholesterol, protecting your heart and reducing the risk of heart disease. Weight Management: Eating nutritious foods in proper portions helps maintain a healthy weight, which is vital for overall well-being and reducing the risk of chronic diseases like diabetes. Energy Boost: A balanced diet rich in vitamins and minerals fuels your body, keeping energy levels high throughout the day. Quality Sleep: Being active promotes better sleep, while healthy eating habits can prevent sleep-disrupting conditions like acid reflux. Mental Clarity: Physical activity enhances cognitive function and reduces the risk of cognitive decline as we age. Nutrient-dense foods support brain health too!

5. She works on her glutes

She focuses on training her glutes. In a video of her on Instagram, she says “when you’re training to add size to your legs and glutes, the type and amount of cardio you do, along with what you eat, can affect the gains you’re trying to achieve. The best cardio to assist with this goal would include sprint training and lower body HIIT or met-con training. The worst type of cardio would include long-duration, over 60 minutes of steady-state cardio, for example, long-distance runs.”
