Nadiya Bychkova soaked up the holidays in a hot tub. In a new social media post the Strictly star shows off her amazing figure in a swimsuit while relaxing in a jacuzzi while vacationing in Slovenia. “Our Winter Fairytale✨❄️ in sLOVEnia 🇸🇮🤍 #grateful,” she captioned the series of snaps taken in the winter wonderland. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
Body Treatments
Nadiya relies on body firming treatments. “One of the beauty treatments I love is Endospheres, I try to book one every time I have a day off. I’ve been doing this body treatment for five years now and discovered it after the birth of my daughter to help me get back into shape fast for my training,” she told Essex Magazine. “Endospheres feels like an intense deep tissue massage for the body, the combination of vibration and compression is great for lymphatic drainage and repairing sore muscles. I like the instant visible results, after an hour-long session, it has my legs feeling brand new. It sculpts massages and tones, leaving my legs feeling lighter, firmer, flawless and smooth. Not only does it make my body look good and feel aligned, but it also helps with my immune system so I feel better from within. I don’t like it – I love it!”
Dancing
Dancing is obviously the main way Bychkova stays in shape. She told the DailyMail “It’s full-on” when she is on tour. “During one section I dance continually for 12 minutes – Charleston, quickstep, jive. I’m the only lead woman on the show. The boys come and go but I just keep going. At the end I’m sweating.” Dancing is a great workout for many reasons. Not only does it build strength and promote flexibility, but helps you lose weight and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.
Biohacking
She is also big into biohacking. “I’m excited to begin my longevity journey with The London Regenerative Institute @londonregenerative at the Corinthia Hotel @corinthialondon @espalifeatcorinthia ✨Being a dancer and an athlete, taking care of my body was and is my top priority. Starting to use bio hacking tools is going to ensure I stay performing at my best. Finally tried Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy, it’s absolutely fantastic and the benefits are incredible,” she wrote in a post.
Golf
In one Instagram post Nadiya revealed that she is learning to play golf. “LOVE GOLF! Today I had my first ever lesson with the amazing @benmasongolf at @igolfstudio in Sheffield. Thank you partner @mrdanwalker for sorting it out. I never knew it would be so much like dancing. I can’t wait to play again💃🏼🏌🏼♀️Now I need to get ready for our first Strictly show in Sheffield. I hope you have a brilliant night if you’re coming.”
No Calorie Counting
Bychkova doesn’t count calories and eats intuitively instead. “You have to be an athlete. I love to eat and I can enjoy it as much as I want – I never count calories because I’m so physically active.”
Hot Tub Soaks
In her latest post Nadiya soaks in the hot tub. If you don’t have access to a hot tub, just take a bath. They have been linked to better sleep and even found helpful to minimize anxiety and depression. One recent study even found that they may even boast cardiovascular benefits.
