E! The Rundown Host Erin Lim in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares Stretch Routine

Erin Lim, a successful TV host best known for The Rundown on E! Network, stays active and prioritizes wellness in her daily routine. She recently shared a lighthearted Instagram video of herself stretching to Johnny Cash’s “Hurt,” captioning it, “The song is cracking me up though…things I have to do to feel normal ish.” Lim finds creative ways to stay fit, from stretching to playing golf, and has a varied fitness routine. In an interview with The Newsette, she revealed she works out four times a week and starts her mornings with a smoothie. Here's a deeper look into Erin Lim's wellness habits that keep her feeling her best.

1. She Stretches

As you can tell from her Instagram video, Lim likes to stretch to stay in shape. Stretching is very beneficial. Harvard Health states, “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage. For example, sitting in a chair all day results in tight hamstrings in the back of the thigh. That can make it harder to extend your leg or straighten your knee all the way, which inhibits walking. Likewise, when tight muscles are suddenly called on for a strenuous activity that stretches them, such as playing tennis, they may become damaged from suddenly being stretched. Injured muscles may not be strong enough to support the joints, which can lead to joint injury.”

2. She Plays Golf

Lim loves to play golf to stay in shape. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself on the course. Lim shared this video of herself taking a shot, captioning it, “I’m gonna putt from the tee box more.” Lim also posted this set of photos of herself and some friends playing golf at an invitational. She captioned that post, “First time back on the course since dealing with major back pain and no better way to shake the rust off than with the @hypegolf invitational! Thx for having me @jlindebergofficial 🫶🏽”

3. She Stays Hydrated

Lim makes sure to stay hydrated. In this Instagram video where she went through her morning routine, she revealed that she drinks 8 ounces of water each day. Staying hydrated with water is extremely important. Harvard Health states, “Drinking enough water each day is crucial for many reasons: to regulate body temperature, keep joints lubricated, prevent infections, deliver nutrients to cells, and keep organs functioning properly. Being well-hydrated also improves sleep quality, cognition, and mood.”

4. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

Lim likes to do a variety of different workouts to keep herself in shape. When she broke down her morning routine to The Newsette, she shared some of her favorite workouts. “This is the time the alarm is set, but of course I gotta let it snooze for that solid 9 minutes. So 6:10am is usually when I’m UP. I try to get a 7am workout in 4x a week. Mon/Wed/Fri, I do resistance interval training with my trainer Hannah Jackson and 1 day a week I do SoulCycle with Angela Manuel-Davis.”

5. She Loves Smoothies

Lim revealed in her Newsette interview that she likes to drink smoothies on her way to work. “Either ‘The Flaxmaster’ from Earthbar or a Daily Harvest smoothie. Yummmm. Key ingredient in all my smoothies is Bulletproof Brain Octane. (You’ll thank me later.) I’m usually wearing my fave Peter Thomas Roth eye patches. Nothing makes me feel better about being up early than those things.”

Elisa Pecini is pontificating about the importance of nutrition in her workout gear. In a new social media post the IFBB champ exercises and discusses why it’s crucial to fuel your body with healthy food. “In the intense routine of workouts, cardio, work, keeping up with nutrition is essential. Having healthy, practical options makes it a lot easier to focus on what really matters. This is why having ready, balanced meals always on hand makes all the difference to my performance,” she writes in the Instagram video. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Her Go-To Glute Workout

Pecini shared her favorite glute workout with Muscle & Fitness:

• Machine Hip Abduction: 5 x 15 — Pecini adds a loop band just above her knees.
• Smith Machine Reverse Lunge: 3 x 15 — Pecini performs these with her front foot elevated.
• Landmine Sumo Deadlift: 4 x 12
• Machine Weighted Glute Bridge: 4 x 12
• Straight-leg Cable Glute Kickback: 4 x 12

2. Here Is Everything You Need to Know About Her Diet

“My diet changes several times during preparation but these are minor adjustments. It is composed of carbohydrates: rice, oats. Proteins: chicken, fish, egg white, whey protein and sometimes red meat. And lipids like avocado, nuts, peanut butter, olive oil,” Elisa told Mo Marketplace, “What changes in my off-season and pre-contest diet are the quantities as the foods are basically the same. In the off-season, I have 1 free meal a week, and most of the time it's a hamburger, but my favorite dish is to go to a good restaurant and eat grilled salmon with black rice and vegetables without having to weigh the food. I use supplements in my diets like whey protein, bcaa, glutamine, l carnitine, caffeine, pre-workout and all I use are from NewMillen because it’s the brand I know and trust, I don’t like to risk what I don’t know. In pre-contest 1200 to 1500 and off-season 2300kcal per day.”

3. Her Go-To Should Workout

Here is Elisa’s go-to shoulder workout, she revealed to Muscle & Fitness.

• Standing Shoulder Abduction: Sets: 7, Reps: 12
• Seated Unilateral Shoulder Abduction: Sets: 3, Reps: 12
• Arnold Press: Sets: 3, Reps: 12
• Dumbbell Front Raise: Sets: 3, Reps: 12
• Upright Row: Sets: 3, Reps: 12
• Dumbbell Crucifix Hold: Sets: 3, Reps: To failure

4. Only One Rest Day Per Week

“I train 6 days a week. My rest day is on the seventh day which is usually on Sundays. My training routine for the week varies a lot according to the competition phase, at the moment it looks like this: shoulder, buttocks, back, shoulder, buttock, and chest,” she told Mo Marketplace. “I always vary my workouts and never repeat the same workout, I always like the various stimuli, do slow, focused exercises, sometimes use a drop set, sometimes use more load but always maintaining the quality of movement and amplitude, for me variations in a workout are very important.”

5. Cardio

Elisa finishes off her workout by walking. “My cardio is always after the 30-minute workout I like to do with the treadmill at a moderate speed(a brisk walk),” she said. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.
