Fitness Influencer Kelsey Wells in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Chest and Tris Workout"

Kelsey Wells is exercising on vacation – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the fitness trainer shows off her amazing figure in a two-piece exercise set. “Do you exercise on vacation!? No shame, no judgment— just curious! It used to be unfathomable to be how anyone would want to exercise during a vacation— but after I redefined fitness for myself I entered a phase of it being I fathomable not to! Now I am much more chill about my vacay sessions, opting for active movement/activities in general (making memories with my boys!) and hitting a few simple sessions like this one. Remember all my programming is available in the @sweat app! I truly have created a suite of programming that allows me to meet you wherever YOU are on your journey,” she captioned the post.

1. A Balanced, Consistent Approach to Nutrition

Kelsey maintains a healthy diet. “I believe a holistic approach to nutrition is healthiest — this means focusing on balance, consistency, and including all types of food (and treats) in moderation,” she wrote in a blog. “One thing that I will never do is deprive myself of any of the food groups — including desserts! Food should never be a source of guilt, and I encourage you to adopt this philosophy and see how it changes your own relationship with food,” she continued. “If you are considering adjusting the way that you eat, I strongly encourage you to make small, sustainable changes. Remember, it’s what you do often that counts! A restrictive diet will NOT help you to reach your health and fitness goals, and can be mentally unhealthy, too. The most important thing is that you are kind to yourself and allow yourself to nourish your body in the way that best fits into your lifestyle.”

2. Lift Weights

Kelsey is big into weight lifting. “LIFTING WEIGHTS helps you build muscle, and the more muscle mass your body has, the higher your TDEE (total daily energy expenditure). Therefore the more calories your body is burning even at rest! This (accompanied with eating adequate protein) is how you (over time!!!) shift your body composition to that ‘lean muscle’ people talk about,” she writes in one of her Instagram post.

3. Protein Packed Salad

Kelsey likes eating salad. She recently shared her “CURRENT FAVE SALAD” in a post. “SPRING SALAD 🥗 I’ve had on repeat,” she added. It is made with baked chicken breast (“I bake a tray and it lasts a few days!” she says. “I like to season with garlic or season salt and olive oil.”), spring salad mix, Marcona almonds (“these are the BEST almonds hands down,” she adds.), avocado, parmesan and feta cheeses, homemade pickled red onion, and “any vinaigrette or dressing of your choice,” she says. “So filling and delicious and NUTRITIOUS.”

4. No Tracking

Last year, Kelsey made “TWO SIMPLY (yet incredibly difficult) CHANGES” to her diet that “drastically” improved her health. The first? “I stopped wearing my Apple Watch/stopped “tracking” my HR during workouts and length/intensity of my sessions,” she writes. The second? “I stopped counting/tracking ANYTHING I ate (before, even when I wasn’t counting macros, I would often track protein)” she added. “BOTH of these tools were very healthy and helpful for me!! For a very long time. Please understand that I AM NOT SAYING tracking is inherently unhealthy or bad to do— that’s absolutely not the case. But I started to feel familiar triggers creeping in, and I realized needed to take a break from both of these things (for my MENTAL wellbeing). Doing so has honestly been far more difficult to do than I thought, and also? FAR MORE FREEING than I ever imagined. Who knows when/if/how I will return to either of these tools in the future, but for now? I am enjoying movement more organically, and training more intuitively, than I have in a long time. I am yet again re-learning and re-affirming to myself that food is FUEL, and all the beautiful things about TRULY HEALTHY nutrition that I have learnt along my professional career and personal path. Always remember that we no longer can allow our efforts in eating or exercise to be a detriment to our MENTAL and emotional health. Be conscious of your mindset and utilize tools for your benefit— and don’t be afraid to make changes when you feel things start to change.”
