1. Be Consistent

According to Kristin, consistency is key when it comes to health. “It’s important to give ourselves grace and not beat ourselves up,” she recently told Us. “For so many years in my early 20s, I was all or nothing. I have the best relationship I’ve ever had with food and health because I’ve let go of a lot of that control. It’s about consistency — just keep showing up.”

2. Mix Up Your Workouts

Kristin used to work out with a personal trainer, but now designs her exercise plan and usually trains in her home gym. “I lift weights, but I do circuit training to keep my heart rate up. I also started doing hot yoga every once in a while. I don’t do it as often as I would like, but I love it when I’m able to make it happen,” she told Us.

3. Try to Eat Earlier Rather Than Later

Kristin doesn’t eat late at night for a few reasons. “I eat with my kids every night at 5:15 p.m.,” she told Us. “I find that I sleep better when I eat early like that. And I eat enough so that I’m not hungry before I go to bed.”

4. Eat Close to Nature

Kristin explained to Us that she eats food “as close to as its natural state” as often as possible. “The way I eat is a lifestyle. Organic as often as possible, tons of veggies, meat, nuts and seeds, complex carbs like buckwheat soba noodles, berries, tons of fat — I even eat butter.” She also avoids processed foods. "We don't do anything white, so we don't do white flour, white sugar, or white salt," she told Women's Health. "We definitely are a meat family. I've never been vegan or vegetarian; I don't think I could be. We actually have a freezer full of meat with all kinds of wild game."

5. Cook Your Own Food

Kristin tries to cook her own food as much as she can. “I make dinner 90 percent of the time. I think that’s important because that’s the only way to truly know what’s in your food,” she told Us. “When I go out to eat or go on vacation, I eat whatever I want and then I really enjoy it.”

6. Stay Motivated with Your Progress

“I like having some muscle definition without being bulky or looking ‘jacked,'” she told Us about her ideal body. “Seeing results makes me want to push harder and gets me excited in the gym. I can honestly say my butt has gotten a lot bigger from being consistent in the gym, working on it for the past year. These results don’t happen overnight. It’s important to be patient and stay the course.”

"I don't do any cardio," Kristin told Well + Good. "Cardio used to be all I did before I had kids, but once I had them my lifestyle changed—I'm a much healthier eater and I hardly drink alcohol, so I've found that it's about building and maintaining muscle rather than losing weight now."
