Fitness Model Taylor Chamberlain Dilk in Two-Piece Workout Gear Wears "Fave Fit"

Coffee

According to a video about her morning routine, Taylor starts the day with coffee. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

Hydration

Hydration is also a key part of her routine. Taylor makes sure her “water bottles filled for workout” prior to her sweat session. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

Trampoline

Taylor enjoys jumping on a mini trampoline as part of her workout. Adding a spring to your step can help you get into shape faster. A NASA study published in the Journal of Applied Physiology claims that rebounding exercise is 68 percent more efficient than jogging. As far as calories burned, a study by the American Council on Exercise found that mini trampoline workouts effectively burn an average of 12.4 calories per minute for men and 9.4 calories per minute for women. According to a 2016 in the Journal of Sport and Health Science trampoline jumping also helps with bone density and strength.

Meal Prepping

Taylor is a fan of meal prepping. “One thing I have found super helpful to keep me consistent is meal prepping a protein, veggie and carb and the start of each week. This way when life gets crazy I can quickly reheat that, add a little bit of sauce and a quick carb and I am good to go! So if you are struggling to find the time to make yourself a meal, I would definitely recommend meal prepping to help you stay on track!” she wrote in a post.

Strength Training

She then moves onto a “quick 30 minute EMOM workout” which means “every minute on the minute” she does a different strength training exercise. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

• Develop strong bones
• Manage your weight
• Enhance your quality of life
• Manage chronic conditions
• Sharpen your thinking skills

Nutrition Is Key

Courtney maintains that diet is extra important when trying to get into shape. “Nutrition is key to achieving the physique you want. The saying that you can’t out-train a bad diet is one I believe in 110%,” she told Muscle & Fitness.

Portion Control

Portion control is fundamental, per Courtney. “Of course you would love to eat the whole box of your favorite cereal, but it’s all about balance and controlling the amount you consume. That way, you can eat the things you like most—in moderation,” she says.

Protein and Veggies

Courtney stresses the importance of protein and produce. “Be sure to include protein in your meals throughout the day. I get my protein from lean whitefish, chicken, ground turkey, eggs, and whey protein shakes,” she says. As for veggies, they’re “packed with fiber, vitamins, and minerals, so make sure to get enough servings of colorful, healthy vegetables each day,” she says. According to clinical trials, consuming more protein than the recommended dietary allowance not only reduces body weight (BW), but also enhances body composition by decreasing fat mass while preserving fat-free mass (FFM) in both low-calorie and standard-calorie diets.

Healthy Carbs and Fat

She also eats healthy carbs and fat. “Carbs are not evil. I incorporate lots of carbs into my diet depending on the times I train and what I’m training for. Carbs I prefer include oatmeal, quinoa, rice (brown and white), sweet potatoes, essential flaxseed bread, and Cheerios,” she says. “Avocados, walnuts, almond butter, olives, and flaxseed oil are healthy fats that are always welcome in my diet.”

Keep a Food Journal

Courtney suggests writing down the food you eat. “Having a notebook or a journal to track your progress can have a very positive effect. It holds you accountable for what you’re eating each day,” she says. There is scientific evidence supporting the benefits of meal planning. Studies the more meals you eat prepared away from home, the higher your risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and early death. And, one study published in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity found meal planning was associated with a healthier diet and less obesity.

She Runs

Williams shares a lot of her favorite workouts on her Instagram. One thing she likes to do is run. Williams even ran the New York City Marathon. She shared this post on Instagram of her experience, captioning it, “NYC MARATHON!! Wow what an unforgettable day. 8 weeks ago when I got this opportunity, I had only ever really ran 5Ks. These last few weeks have been filled with pushing myself both mentally and physically, I really didn’t know if I could do it. But I have learnt every time I take on a new challenge I get far more back in return. I pretty much smiled my way around the 26.2 miles yesterday. NYC crowds are just sooooo incredible. I wanna say a huge thankyou to the number of strangers who cheered me on as well as my incredible friends who gave me so much energy! Feeling very proud and very grateful to @newbalance x @bambambaklava and especially @austinbensmith who assured me I could do it when I almost pulled out. 🩵”

She Swims

Williams likes to swim to keep herself in shape. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself enjoying time by the water. Williams shared this post highlighting a trip she took to Europe. In it, she is seen going for a dip in the sea. Williams captioned the post, “European summer 🩵 the oh so blue Mediterranean.”

She Pushes Herself

Williams is always striving to push herself to try new things. One thing she tried was going scuba diving. Williams shared this photo on Instagram of her experience. She captioned the post, “It’s A-OK 👌 I’ve realized I feel my best when I try new things and push myself out of my comfort zone. Things that scared me before. Sometimes it’s good to remember being scared should not get in your way of trying something new 🤍💙”

She Plays Tennis

Another thing that Williams likes to do to keep herself in shape is playing tennis. She shared this set of photos of herself on the court on Instagram. The Columbia Association states that tennis has a lot of benefits. “Tennis is an excellent full-body workout that releases feel-good endorphins to help you relax and relieve tension. Its low-impact nature also means your joints and bones will thank you.”

She Hikes

Williams likes to go hiking to keep herself in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself and her friends hiking in the Grand Canyon. “Hello!! Channeling my inner Lara Croft.. Just spent the last two weeks off the grid exploring the Grand Canyon - traveling down the Colorado river, white water rafting and camping with a group of 15 of us. It was already a scary trip for me as I have never done anything like this but an extra challenge from having fractured my wrist 3 weeks before! But the challenges made it 100 x more rewarding! Will share some pictures to try and show you just how incredible the Grand Canyon is 🙌🏽 Very proud of myself for doing it and grateful to be one of the few people who get to see this part of the world in this way!”
