Christine McGuinness is a model, former beauty queen, and TV personality. She has appeared on shows like The Real Housewives of Cheshire, Loose Women, and Good Morning Britain. She recently enjoyed a vacation with her three children, and shared some highlights on Instagram. In one photo, McGuinness wore a purple swimsuit and a white visor, her amazing abs on display. She captioned the post, "Extremely grateful, very blessed, soaking in every second of this unplanned adventure with my children 🥰 words can't explain how proud I am 🥹 they're making new friends, rolling around in the sand, eating in new places, this really was supposed to happen for us." How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Christine McGuinness stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

McGuinness shared some of her diet secrets in an interview with Women Fitness. She says that when it comes to her diet, she believes in both moderation, and finding healthy versions of what she's craving. "I do have a sweet tooth," McGuinness says. "I allow myself treats in moderation, mainly weekends. When I'm craving sugar, I reach for the fruit bowl, or a mixed veg and fruit smoothie."

McGuinness tells Women Fitness that she makes sure to eat healthy. She says that a certain vegetable is a favorite of hers. "Green and protein is what I aim for. At the minute, I'm eating avocado with almost everything! Avocado with egg, avocado with chicken, avocado smash bagel. It's healthy and filling, it does contain fats, but good fats."

McGuinness shared some of her favorite workouts with Women Fitness. "I like to do a variation of cardio, HIIT and weights," she said. "I don't stick to a routine; I do whatever I'm in the mood for that day. On days that I feel like doing nothing, I will pop the baby in the pram and go for a long walk, so I am still doing some gentle exercise. When I have had a good night sleep and feel like I've got plenty of energy, then I will interval run, followed by some abdominal workouts. I love to train my core."

McGuinness shared some of her hair and skincare secrets in her Women Fitness interview. "I love to use coconut shampoo and conditioner on my hair, and coconut moisturizer on my skin. It works wonders and smells amazing. It is thanks to my coco butter that I only got a couple of stretch marks during my pregnancies, and they are barely visible. I am lucky with my facial skin, Its rare that I will get spots or blemishes, I put this down to drinking lots of water and barely wearing make up. I often get asked what I use to cleanse my face; the truth is I only ever use water to wash my face."

One thing McGuinness likes to do to keep herself in shape is going swimming. She shared this photo on Instagram of herself on a pool float. McGuinness captioned the post, "Lovely family holiday 😎Loads of you have asked how the kiddies got on (it's their first trip abroad in 4 years, they don't really enjoy travel or change) but with lots of prep and patience 😅 they done incredibly well and have absolutely loved it! 👏Very very proud mummy."
