Madison LeCroy in Bathing Suit Has Message for "Haters"

Madison LeCroy is living her best life this summer in her swimsuit. In one of her latest social media posts the Southern Charm beauty goes boating in her bathing suit in her hometown of Charleston, South Carolina. “Keepin' it reel,” she captioned the Instagram post shared with her followers. How does the reality star stay healthy and fit? She has a few unconventional methods. Read about them below.

1. She Uses an “Infrared Sauna” Blanket

At home, Madison uses an infrared sauna. She is also a fan of using a sauna blanket when she is on the road. “You guys know that I have the one out in the garage, but this one you can travel with,” she said in an Instagram Story. According to the star, the blanket is “mood-lifting” and activates “glowing skin.” There is also a towel that goes with the sauna that “goes on underneath” for a “dry brushing” and provides a “full-body detox.”

2. She Gets Plastic Surgery

Madison is open about going under the knife. "After giving birth to an 10-pound baby eight years ago, I no longer felt confident in my own skin," she revealed in an Instagram photo. "I’ve always been fitness obsessed and aware of what I was eating but sometimes, no matter how much you diet and exercise, there are areas that don’t quite bounce back to where they were originally." She went to doctor, Patrick O'Neill, who "gave me my confidence back and transformed the parts of my body that I was most self-conscious about. Women should never be shamed for doing anything that makes themselves more confident or love themselves more. If it makes you feel better about yourself, do it!" she said.

3. She Does Cold Plunges

Madison is one of the many stars who is obsessed with cold plunging. “Have you guys ever done cold plunge!? If not go see my friends at @sweathouzmtpleasant @sweathouzwestashley but if you aren’t local find one near you @sweathouz,” she captioned a recent post.

4. She Does Healthy Cleanses

Madison does healthy cleanses. One 30-day eating and drinking plan she was on eliminated alcohol as well as "artificial" carbs and sugar. "I just started to feel really bad," she said about why she was inspired. "I just said, 'This has got to stop, so I'm gonna make these foods and I'm gonna eat this kale salad and eat grilled chicken and broccoli four days a week, or whatever it was, and no alcohol for 14 days.' That kind of thing was very tough," she added to Bravo.

5. She Is “Good for a Week and Bad for a Week” with Diet and Exericse

Madison has a yo-to approach to diet and exercise. “It’s definitely been a struggle. I go back and forth. I’m good for a week and bad for a week,” she said about her eating habits. “I try to work out at least four days a week, sometimes it’s three days. It’s all generally mental health for me, I crave it. I definitely feel that it makes me a little bit less on edge… I love working out with other people, all ages, all sizes, because when the girl beside me is giving me a run for my money, you know I’m running fast. I’m like, ‘OK, girl. Let’s go.’”

Madison LeCroy, star of Southern Charm, is in a solid gold bathing suit, looking like a billion bucks. “Who’s bad and who’s boujee! #bachelorette,” she captioned the photo with Erica Cain Missel, a management consultant. The reality show star is known for her good looks, and despite what you may think, she works hard to stay that way. How does she stay so fit?

1. She Says Her Body is the Product of Hard Work, Despite Having Plastic Surgery

Madison has had plastic surgery but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t work hard to stay in shape. "Those of you who keep writing on my page saying that, ‘Oh yeah, she's in shape because she had surgery,’ let’s fight," Madison once wrote online. "I [legitimately] put in so much work to get where I am and I continue to still do it. I couldn't just give up because I got surgery, but that is so belittling and just effing rude." She added: "I've had absolutely enough, because this," she showed her backside, "was not from a doctor. This is from hard work."

2. She is “Aware” of What She Eats

“Mindful eating focuses on the why and the how of eating, versus what’s promoted by many diets, which are more what to eat, how much to eat, maybe even when to eat,” says dietitian Maxine Smith, RD, LD, to the Cleveland Clinic. “It’s much more of an internal versus external approach to eating.”

3. She is Focused on Fitness

“Worried about heart disease? Hoping to prevent high blood pressure? No matter what your current weight is, being active boosts high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, the ‘good’ cholesterol, and it decreases unhealthy triglycerides. This one-two punch keeps your blood flowing smoothly, which decreases your risk of cardiovascular diseases,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Regular exercise helps prevent or manage many health problems and concerns.”

4. She Has Played Golf

“Beginners luck might be a thing,” Madison captioned a recent Instagram post of her swinging at a golf ball. One “advantage of golf is that you can play well into older age, unlike more strenuous sports, such as basketball or tennis. Even if you aren't physically able to walk the entire course, hitting the ball works your core and arm muscles. It also challenges your balance because as you swing, your trunk rotates and your weight shifts,” says Harvard Health.

5. She Says She is Pretty Much Done With Plastic Surgery

“I mean, I’m sure when I get older, there may be things that I’ll end up doing. Like yes, I do get Botox in my forehead. Do I mess with anything else in my face? I don’t. I’m not gonna do anything. I’m not gonna try to fix my crooked lip that I was born with, ‘cause that’s just who I am. That’s like a part of me. I’m okay with that. I’m okay with imperfections.”

Madison LeCroy is best known as a cast member on the hit Bravo series, Southern Charm. LeCroy also has a strong following on social media. Recently, she decided to do a cold plunge, and documented her experience on her Instagram stories. In them, she is seen wearing a blue swimsuit in the water. How does she stay so fit?

1. She Gets Skincare Help

LeCroy has amazing skin, and she needs to take care of it. She shared her secrets to New Beauty. LeCroy says that she struggles with rosacea and sees a professional to help her with this. “I go to a place here in Charleston called Ella Ora and see Kristen Joy VanGuilder who people come from all over to see, I’m lucky to get an appointment. She has me on MBR products, it’s a German brand. I have suffered with rosacea recently and she has me on all these calming products. I’ve had to chill out on my workouts and the red wine unfortunately because of it, but I do use all the MBR products religiously.”

2. She Removes Her Makeup

Being on TV, LeCroy has to wear a lot of makeup, and she makes sure to get it all off. She shared her tips to New Beauty, “I wash my face at night with the cleanser ($98) and do my healing mask ($330) and wake up to no texture and just radiant skin, which is hard when you are wearing like all this T.V. makeup, and it can get a little congested. I always follow up with the EltaMD Light Tinted Susncreen ($35).”

3. She Gets Facials

LeCroy tells New Beauty that she likes to have facials done. “Let me tell you the one facial that I just did because it’s recent, but it was to help with rosacea. Ella Ora hooked me up with a DyeVL laser treatment. It wasn’t painful and I didn’t have any downtime, so I didn’t look crazy for days or anything like that. It just smooths out the skin and is good for rosacea. I’ve been doing that and then just your signature facials.”

4. She Does Quick Workouts

LeCroy posted this series of photos and video of her boating with her boyfriend, captioning it, “But did we sink?!” "With Americans taking less vacation, more than ever people need to restore their minds. Being on the water has been shown to offer relaxation, restoration and happiness, along with the added benefits of exercise, social time, and a connection with nature," says the NMMA.

2. She Golfs

According to this video on her instagram, LeCroy is a fan of golfing. She playfully captioned the video, “This is the kind of fore play my man likes.” "Before you start your golf stretches, you may want to warm up with five to 10 minutes of light activity, such as walking around the practice tee. If you have time, complete the full series of golf stretches outlined here. Hold each stretch for about 30 seconds. Studies have found performing an individual stretch one time is beneficial, and repeating an individual stretch generally isn't necessary. Do one set of golf stretches every day and another set before and after each round of golf," says the Mayo Clinic.

3. She Runs On The Treadmill

In this reel on her Instagram, LeCroy let her followers in on some of her favorite ways to exercise. The first thing she is seen doing is running on a treadmill. "Try to find a speed that you can comfortably run at for at least 15 minutes. Find your heart rate at that speed and make sure you take it at least three times and get similar values. Also, see if you can talk at this pace at about the five - minute and 10- minute marks," says ACE Fitness.

4. She Weight Trains

In the same reel, LeCroy also revealed that she’s a fan of weight training. The reality star is seen using two different types of weights, and doing two different exercises. She’s seen deadlifting with a dumbbell, and doing squat lunges with a handweight. "Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age," says NCH.
