Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
1. Battling an Eating Disorder

In Maggie’s memoir Unstoppable! she reveals that collective trauma led to an eating disorder: “My weight was something I could control. It was all I thought about,” she says. However, she didn’t let her struggles, which included testifying against Larry Nasser, break her. “I’m so much stronger as an athlete and as person," she says. "I'm healthier, physically and mentally." During her eating disorder she obsessively counted calories and cut carbs, dropping down to 6.5 percent body fat.
2. 75 Hard
Maggie recently completed the 75 hard challenge. “75 hard challenge = conquered,” she captioned a post. “It’s been a journey of discipline, self-discovery, and a profound transformation into a more resilient, better-equipped version of myself both physically and mentally. This challenge has taught me that true growth lies in the discomfort, that discipline is the sculptor of success, and that the journey to my best self is a daily commitment. This challenge is a testament to the incredible power we hold within, awaiting discovery through consistency and resilience. Undoubtedly, this challenge has been incredibly tough, but it’s transformed me profoundly. There were long travel days, busy days, holidays, adverse weather… but I discovered that when passion fuels determination… you find a way to make it happen. No matter what! Thanks to everyone who cheered me on along the way!”
