She Does Pilates
Gabriella loves doing pilates on the reformer. "It's the best thing I've found for my body," she told Women's Health Australia. "I find that it's kind of meditative when I do it, it's not just, 'Oh I've got to go work out now,' it's something I actually really enjoy. Ideally, I like to do reformer two to three times a week. That makes me feel great. And on the days I'm not doing it, I don't feel like I need to exercise but if I do, it's just something like a gentle walk. At one stage I was overdoing it and trying to go every day, just because I loved it so much, but I think my body actually resisted that and it just felt like a bit too much, so I pulled it back, which is better for my body."
She Takes Supplements
Gabriella is all about supplements. "I take fish oil tablets, Floradix for iron, and magnesium," she revealed to Body + Soul.
She Gets Massages
Gabriella prioritizes self-care. One of the things she does? "I'll usually get a massage at least once a month to release tension. I find it helps a lot with lymphatic drainage too," she told Body + Soul.
She Takes Saunas
Gabriella also likes to turn up the heat. "I like to sauna after workouts, I haven't tried ice baths yet - but all my friends swear by them so I think that's next on the list to try," she told Body + Soul.
She Listens to Her Body
When it comes to how often she works out, Gabriella lets her body dictate. "I listen to my body. My work schedule is all over the place so I fit in workouts where I can, and when I'm exhausted, I just let my body rest," she told Body + Soul.
She Prioritizes Mental Health
"Mental health is so important to me," Gabriella told Vogue. "When I'm stressed or tired, I turn off my phone and have a magnesium salt bath to relax, light some candles and read in bed. The more I stay on top of my physical health—eating well, exercising, drinking enough water—the easier I find it to stay in a good place mentally."
