Her Diet Is All About Moderation

"​​I eat what I want, in moderation," Lara told Parade about her dietary approach. "I gravitate toward fresh veggies and clean foods, thankfully, but I am also a sucker for a cupcake every once in a while. I make sure to eat lots of kale, broccoli, blueberries, strawberries and spinach. We do enough stories on superfoods on GMA. I know what I should be eating, and I really try to stick with that."

When she isn't working, you can find Lara in the pool. "I enjoy swimming laps—it's a great workout and also allows me to get into a meditative state so it's very relaxing. I love the quiet and the rhythm of swimming. I do it quite a bit in the summer, but not very much in the winter," she told Parade.

She Does Yoga

She Plays Tennis

"Last but certainly not least, I play tennis year round," Lara told Parade. "As a former athlete, I love the competition. I play both singles and doubles and would play every day if I could! I wish I had known about tennis as a kid. Unlike platform diving, it's a sport I can play for the rest of my life."
