Maren’s diet is extremely healthy. She starts her day with three-egg whites and spinach cooked in olive oil, and wheat toast, followed by a salad with protein for lunch. She usually waits until after her shows to have dinner. “When I’m out there, I make it count. I know I’ll feel awful if I don’t eat right after burning all those calories in the show,” she told Women’s Health. For dinner, she will eat another salad, maybe skinless chicken over spinach with lemon vinaigrette.
2. Do HIIT Workouts

Maren attributes her toned figure to regular HIIT sessions with Nashville based trainer Erin Oprea. When she can’t make it into the studio she uses Erin’s Pretty Little Muscles app. Her workouts usually involve jump roping followed by bodyweight resistance strength training, doing exercises like front and side planks, pushups, squats, lunges, and a combo of the latter two. “Squat lunges are the worst,” she confessed. “They’re so hard because that’s the area I need it most—my thighs and butt.” She then moves to the BOSU ball and does crunches and core work, followed by weight lifting with free weights.
3. Play Tennis

In one of the posts of her Mexico trip, Maren showed the tennis court of her resort. “She has been playing tennis,” Opera told E News. “I encourage clients to do their cardio outside of me. Sports are always the best way because when you're chasing a ball, you're not thinking about cardio.”
4. Cook Your Own Food
According to Oprea, Maren also enjoys cooking her own meals, ensuring they are made with healthy ingredients. “She has this rotisserie chicken recipe that she really loves to cook. She's gotten really big into cooking with her husband and that makes me beyond happy,” the trainer told E News.
5. Go To Therapy
After welcoming her son, Maren battled postpartum depression. Her husband, Ryan Hurd, was influential in getting the mental health help she needed. "I do check-ins all the time [with] therapy, which I've done for years, and my husband was a huge help diagnosing that too," she told People. "Sometimes it's just someone really close to you saying, 'Are you OK?' It's so simple, but it kind of snaps you out of whatever fog you're in that you think is normal, but isn't."
