1. She Loves To Mix It Up

Chi understands the importance of preventing boredom with workouts. “Basically, probably for the past six months I’ve got into a really good routine,” Chi told OK! Online. “I’ve always been to the gym and mix up my training and I think that’s why I’ve always been able to maintain it for such a long period of time because I love to switch up my training.”

2. She Isn’t a Gym Fanatic

Chi doesn’t just go to the gym—she likes to try different things. “I don’t like to just go to the gym five days a week, I would be so bored,” Chi says. “So, I think it’s so important that every day I do something different.” “Different methods of exercise have different benefits, the same way broccoli and salmon are both super healthy foods, but each come with their own nutritional values and benefits,” says certified strength and conditioning specialist Gabby Drucker. “All forms of exercise are great and definitely better than doing nothing. While you may favor some over others, it is important to have variety and change it up.”

3. She Keeps Things Balanced

While Chi is disciplined about her high-intensity workouts, she understands the importance of balance. “For me at the moment I try and get in five or six sessions a week,” Chi says. “I’ll do two cardio sessions, two weighted gym sessions and two yoga sessions and my yoga that I do is very chilled and relaxed which, in the industry I’m in is very, very good for my mind because it’s such a fast-paced industry.” “Yoga is known for its ability to soothe tension and anxiety in the mind and body. But it can also have an impact on a person's exercise capacity,” says Harvard Health. “Researchers studied a small group of sedentary individuals who had not practiced yoga before. After eight weeks of practicing yoga at least twice a week for a total of 180 minutes, participants had greater muscle strength and endurance, flexibility and cardio-respiratory fitness.”

4. Training Is “Me Time”

While most people would see working out as necessary but not exactly fun, Chi treats her workouts as personal time. “It is very hard, but I make it a priority. Training makes me feel good so I don’t see it as a grueling added stress to my calendar, I see it as me-time and the time I like to relax.”

5. She Loves Healthy Food

Eating a healthy diet is not a punishment for Chi—she actually loves it. “I’m quite lucky that I actually love eating healthily, and I don’t know if that’s because of modeling from such a young age that I’ve managed to just drill it into me but I would much prefer to have a healthily vegan brownie than a gooey disgusting chocolate brownie and that is not a lie. I love healthy food. I look at food and it’s like a circle and how eating something healthy makes me feel far better than when I’ve eaten something bad.” "You can be overweight and be a vegan; you can be malnourished and be a vegan," says cardiologist Jeffrey Soble, MD. "Whatever your diet choice, you have to know which foods to avoid and which foods to seek out. Refined grains, sweets and junk food are troublemakers for everyone, not just vegans. And vegans and nonvegans alike can fall into the habit of making these items the mainstays of their diet."

6. She Avoid Sugar

Chi doesn’t like the way sugar makes her feel, so she largely avoids it. "For fifteen minutes you have that sugar rush but then you crash, so for me I think if you eat something healthy not only does it taste good but you also feel good,” she says. "The effects of added sugar intake — higher blood pressure, inflammation, weight gain, diabetes, and fatty liver disease — are all linked to an increased risk for heart attack and stroke," says Dr. Frank Hu, professor of nutrition at the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.

7. She Loves a Glass of Wine

Chi tried going a month without any alcohol, but found it wasn't worth it. “I was going to do dry January but that failed last night. I was like ‘do you know what I really fancy a glass of wine’ and I also believe don’t cut anything out because when you do I feel like you want it more,” Chi says. “I feel like we put out goals and then don’t have the time, so these goals or resolutions get broken, so I feel like if you’re happy with yourself and if you’re happy with where your career is going then carry on doing what you’re doing rather than saying you’re going to try and change this and that.”

Chi revealed some of her wellness secrets in an interview with Boux Avenue. When asked what fitness advice she would give others, she answered, “Don't put too much pressure on yourself by forcing yourself to go 5 or more times a week. My advice would be to start small and build up to get to where you want to be. 15 mins in the morning before work is sometimes all you need.”

3. She Makes Time For Herself

Despite Chi’s busy schedule, she makes time to disconnect. She tells Boux Avenue, “I meditate and go to the gym. When I work out, I'm not with my phone and disconnect, and have some me-time where I switch off from the world. I think that’s important.”

4. She Does A Lot Of Different Workouts

Chi’s fitness routine is extremely diverse. She tells Boux Avenue, “For me, the key is to do different things all the time - at the moment weekly I'm doing two cardio sessions, two weight gym sessions, and two yoga. For me, that's what suits my body the most and that way I don't get bored because it’s less repetitive.”

5. She Doesn’t Diet

Chi revealed her approach to food to Boux Avenue, saying, “I don’t believe in cheat days, I don't cut anything out of my diet. I’ve tried it all - being vegan, veggie, pescatarian! If I'm craving something, I'll have it; however luckily I do love healthy food. I look at it like a circle… How does that make me feel when I’ve had it? You have a sugar rush and you feel great, then you come crashing down, whereas with a vegan brownie for example, it’s got more nutrition so you feel better for that whole circle."
