Madison works out more days than she takes off "I try to work out at least four days a week, sometimes it’s three days. It’s all generally mental health for me, I crave it. I definitely feel that it makes me a little bit less on edge," she revealed to Bravo.

5. At-Home Workouts

Madison doesn’t need workout equipment to get a good session in. In her Instagram Stories she does an at-home workout, using only a few weeks. Her exercises included plank knee ins, squats and side squats with weights, a few ab exercises, squat to knee up, russian twists.

6. Golf

Madison also enjoys golf. She recently took a trip to Palmetto Bluffs and worked on her game. “What a great surprise & a much needed staycation,” she captioned the post. A comprehensive review published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that golf's health benefits are extensive, including mind, body, and even lifespan. Benefits include improved longevity, decreased risk of developing heart disease or suffering a stroke, good mental health, and improved strength and balance.

7. Ice Baths

In her recent post, Madison takes an ice bath. There is limited research supporting the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increased focus, improved sleep, and decreased inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes basic post-sport recovery.

Madison LeCroy is shaping up in 2024 – in her workout gear. In a new social media post, the Southern Charm star shows off her washboard abs in bike shorts and a sports bra while revealing her workout and self-care routine. “A little glimpse into my at home workout! If you don’t follow me on tik tok come follow me for my workouts!” she wrote in the caption. “I'm over eating healthy and working out every day. But we're going to keep going. We're going to be strong, we're going to be healthy. That's the main key for all of this,” she adds in the video. Here is everything you need to know about her plan to shape up.

1. Running

Madison starts her workout with a vigorous run on the treadmill. She starts by running sideways and then spends a lot of time running at a fast speed. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

2. Ab Work

Next, Madison moves on to an intense ab workout. A few of the moves she does to strengthen her midsection are crunches and side planks. Doing exercises like crunches and planks are great for building muscle in your abs. However, if your goal is to flatten your abs, you will have to change your diet. “Abs are made in the kitchen,” is a regular quote given by fitness pros.

3. Sauna

“Then we are going to move on to the sauna for 45 minutes at 175 degrees,” Madison says. “A little touch of hell. I say, it's really good for you. So that's what this year is about.” Should you take a dry sauna? While some claim the health benefits of saunas are plentiful, including detoxification, increased metabolism, weight loss, increased blood circulation, pain reduction, antiaging, skin rejuvenation, improved cardiovascular function, improved immune function, improved sleep, stress management, and relaxation, there isn’t a lot of research backing up the claims.

4. Cold Plunge

Next up for Madison? “Move down to the cold plunge for three minutes at around 42 degrees,” she says. There is limited research supporting the benefits of cold plunges, which may include easing sore muscles, bringing body temperature down, increased focus, improved sleep, and decreased inflammation, per the Cleveland Clinic. However, a 2021 study found that cold water immersion therapy promotes basic post-sport recovery.

5. AMPAP

Madison maintains she transformed her body from skinny to strong in just 6 weeks with the help of GunnarMade. One of the techniques she relies on? AMRAP – or as many reps as possible – using dumbbells, bands, a jump rope, and mat. Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.

2. She Golfs

According to this video on her instagram, LeCroy is a fan of golfing. She playfully captioned the video, “This is the kind of fore play my man likes.” "Before you start your golf stretches, you may want to warm up with five to 10 minutes of light activity, such as walking around the practice tee. If you have time, complete the full series of golf stretches outlined here. Hold each stretch for about 30 seconds. Studies have found performing an individual stretch one time is beneficial, and repeating an individual stretch generally isn't necessary. Do one set of golf stretches every day and another set before and after each round of golf," says the Mayo Clinic.

3. She Runs On The Treadmill

In this reel on her Instagram, LeCroy let her followers in on some of her favorite ways to exercise. The first thing she is seen doing is running on a treadmill. "Try to find a speed that you can comfortably run at for at least 15 minutes. Find your heart rate at that speed and make sure you take it at least three times and get similar values. Also, see if you can talk at this pace at about the five - minute and 10- minute marks," says ACE Fitness.

4. She Weight Trains

In the same reel, LeCroy also revealed that she’s a fan of weight training. The reality star is seen using two different types of weights, and doing two different exercises. She’s seen deadlifting with a dumbbell, and doing squat lunges with a handweight. "Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age," says NCH.

1. She Gets Skincare Help

LeCroy has amazing skin, and she needs to take care of it. She shared her secrets to New Beauty. LeCroy says that she struggles with rosacea and sees a professional to help her with this. “I go to a place here in Charleston called Ella Ora and see Kristen Joy VanGuilder who people come from all over to see, I’m lucky to get an appointment. She has me on MBR products, it’s a German brand. I have suffered with rosacea recently and she has me on all these calming products. I’ve had to chill out on my workouts and the red wine unfortunately because of it, but I do use all the MBR products religiously.”

2. She Removes Her Makeup

Being on TV, LeCroy has to wear a lot of makeup, and she makes sure to get it all off. She shared her tips to New Beauty, “I wash my face at night with the cleanser ($98) and do my healing mask ($330) and wake up to no texture and just radiant skin, which is hard when you are wearing like all this T.V. makeup, and it can get a little congested. I always follow up with the EltaMD Light Tinted Susncreen ($35).”

3. She Gets Facials

LeCroy tells New Beauty that she likes to have facials done. “Let me tell you the one facial that I just did because it’s recent, but it was to help with rosacea. Ella Ora hooked me up with a DyeVL laser treatment. It wasn’t painful and I didn’t have any downtime, so I didn’t look crazy for days or anything like that. It just smooths out the skin and is good for rosacea. I’ve been doing that and then just your signature facials.”
