She Works Out First Thing in the Morning

She works out first thing in the morning. "If my body is like, dead tired or sick I might take a break, but most mornings I work out first thing. A few years back, I made a conscious decision to be a morning-workout person because I had so many excuses every time after work. I don't ask myself, 'Oh do I need to work out today?' It's just part of my morning routine. You go and you get it done and your day is started. It was hard. It was a good two to three months of just hating waking up that early. My day is just so much more productive now. There are so many benefits to a morning workout that overshadow not wanting to work out," she tells the Cut.

"I love playing soccer for fun, I'm always trying to get my family to play," she said. "I was defence but I was never technically the best as my feet were so long and it was during my goofy phase, but I love it even now. I've always done activities and I used to run a lot; that gave me a great fashion body," she told Vogue

"Drinking enough water. I had a period where I was drinking way too much coffee, tea, or soda, but my trainer said, 'You have to stay hydrated, it's good for your skin, it's good for sleep.' Getting through those eight waters a day is a struggle but now it's a habit. I'm constantly thirsty now," she told the Cut.

Here's How She Got Her Shape

"But I wanted shape so I asked around the Victoria's Secret girls and Jasmine Tookes got me into lifting weights. I had never seen my body change so quickly. I like to train and lift weights three to five days a week as I find it the best stress release or go for a boxing session. I used to go to an authentic boxing gym but I just want to sweat and get boxing fitness so now I see a friend if I'm in Nashville or I go to Dogpound in New York. When I travel I always ask if I can stay in a hotel with a gym but if they don't have one I just train in my room and do chair dips and do exercise with my body weight. I travel with my ankle cables and resistance bands so that I can do something," she told Vogue.

"Wellness is the mind more than anything, and feeling good on every level — mentally and physically. It's not just about being healthy and working out, but it's really a 360 thing. I've always thought my body was something you get one shot at so I better treat it well," she told the Cut.
