Read on to see 5 ways Lisa Rinna stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bikini Photos!
1. She Believes Moderation is Key
“I don’t love to use the word diet because if I do, I’ll just want to eat 10 times more,” Rinna told PEOPLE. “Moderation is key.” For example, “sometimes, I’ll have an ice cream sundae, but if I had one every day, I would feel awful,” she told OWN. “I’m very disciplined because, selfishly, I like to feel good... I like to feel good and I like to look good.”
2. She’s Been Mostly Plant-Based

“I tend to call myself a dirty vegan. I’m mostly plant-based — but if I do need to eat some meat, I’ll have it.” "Most of us don't eat enough plant food, which is so important for heart health," Jason Ewoldt, R.D.N.,L.D., a wellness dietitian at Mayo Clinic Healthy Living Program, tells the medical non-profit, which adds “in a plant-based diet, Ewoldt says, you can eat virtually unlimited amounts of fresh or frozen fruits and veggies. Whole grains, legumes (beans), healthy oils, seeds and nuts round out a plant-based diet."
3. She’s a Yogi

“What I have found now and what I have evolved into really is yoga,” she told OWN. “I have a really strong yoga practice, and for my body type, that really works.” “Yoga is a wonderful form of exercise that provides benefits that walking or strength training don't provide. In Eastern cultures, yoga is not seen as exercise, but rather ‘a moving meditation.’ In the Western world, many people know power yoga or vinyasa yoga, which are classified as exercise,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Regardless of the type of yoga, when practiced mindfully, there are many advantages for the body, mind and soul. Yoga can provide three primary benefits that a typical gym routine may not provide.”
4. She Loves to Dance

Naturally, the former Dancing With the Stars star loves to dance. “In our house everybody is always dancing around and singing. We have a dance floor outside at our house, a big, huge dance floor that we all dance on,” she said. One time she posted a video on Instagram with her dancing to Barry Manilow’s Copacabana.
5. She Does This for Exercise

Sometimes Rinna will “throw in a SoulCycle class or a hike." “Get at least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity a week, or a combination of moderate and vigorous activity,” says the Mayo Clinic. “The guidelines suggest that you spread out this exercise during the course of a week. Greater amounts of exercise will provide even greater health benefits. But even small amounts of physical activity are helpful. Being active for short periods of time throughout the day can add up to provide health benefits.”
