She starts the day by running a 7k on the treadmill at 6am, "a mix of uphill fast walking, jogging, running." According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. "For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories," they say.
She Lifts Weights
For a post-cardio workouts, she does, "30 minutes legs, 30 minutes arms, toning and conditioning, then loads of planks and that kind of thing for my core" with her personal trainer. 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:

Discipline
Victoria doesn't rely on her genetics. She maintains that it's all about her discipline. "I'm very disciplined with the way that I eat, the way that I work out, and the way I work," Victoria told Grazia. "That's just who I am."
Yoga
Victoria also enjoys the zen practice of yoga. "Who said I can't do yoga," she captioned a post of herself in a post. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. "Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood," they said. "People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating."
