1. She Has A Supportive Family

Heaton tells the DailyMail that she doesn’t like to just do one particular workout. Heaton says that she loves to change up her exercises. “I mix up my workouts up so my body is always guessing and never gets used to what I'm doing,” she says.

3. She Believes In Moderation and Indulging Once In A While

When it comes to her diet, Heaton is a believer in balance, and says she indulges occasionally. “I very rarely slip up with my food in the house but I reward my hard work with date nights and eating out at weekends,” she said to the DailyMail. “It's all a balancing act with maintenance, if you’re good 70 per cent of the time you should enjoy the other 30 per cent.”

4. She’s Sober

Heaton is open about her struggles with addiction, her stint in rehab, and how her addiction affected her body. She tells OK! Magazine, “I was skinny but I had a very big hard belly and my liver was protruding. I also wasn’t washing for days and my hair was falling out and had become very thin because of the alcohol abuse and hormones. I’d gone down to 7st 13lbs. My body was shutting down and couldn’t function without the alcohol. I’d be sick with it but I’d be worse without it and shaking. So many times I would wake up in the morning and scream for help, knowing no one was in the house." Heaton says that she is in a much better place these days, and is now sober.

5. She Does Yoga

Heaton revealed on Instagram that she practices yoga and meditation, and that it’s been great for her health. She captioned the photo, “Time to centre ones self! Doesn’t have to be at a spa … a floor… peace and quiet .. and breathing is all you need. Clear the mind and remain in the day!Put it out and you will receive.”

1. She Embraces Her Body

Otis is proud of her body, and she wants people to know it. She talks about self-love and body positivity on a lot of her Instagram posts, including her most recent Memorial Day reel. “We all have body hair, stretch marks, cellulite, and rolls,” Otis wrote. “Wear the suit and go enjoy yourself.”

2. She No Longer Takes “Before & After” Photos

One thing Otis is doing to help herself stay confident is not taking “before and after” photos for social media, especially after having her two kids. She revealed her explanations for doing this in this reel. “I'm never taking a degrading "before" pic again. It's just not for me anymore. After having my first rainbow baby, my goal was to fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes asap. It was never about health. It's taken me decades to learn that I'm more than my pant size & the number on the scale doesn't define me. Halle-freakin-lujah.

3. She Went On A Cleanse

Otis revealed in this reel that she was about to make a lot of changes to her diet and lifestyle. “Today I am cutting out gluten, dairy, alcohol, and extra sugars bc my skin has been so red and dry,” she explained. “It's like my body has been screaming at me to take better care of it. I've got that eczema on my eyelids, dandruff and itchy scalp, and just ya know, no energy & always feeling physically & mentally drained.”

4. She Worked Out While She Was Pregnant

Otis made sure to get workouts in while she was pregnant. On her website, she explained her reason for doing so. “I am committed to staying strong and healthy for me and my rainbow baby. I know that the first half of my pregnancy was a struggle, but I’m getting back on track (and writing this blog/putting it out into the world is my way of holding myself accountable)!”

5. She Opened Up About Her Struggles

In 2019, a controversial “Heartbeat Bill” was passed in some states, which would limit access to abortions, with Alabama banning them completely. When this happened, Otis wrote a guest piece for People about her own abortion, wanting to let others know they weren’t alone, and to reduce the stigma. “I know I’m going to get backlash for opening up about my past. Like I said, my abortions still torment me and I hate that I had to have them. However, am I thankful? Of course. I wouldn’t be able to be a good mother to my daughter right now or have been able to be a good parent to my siblings back then. The cycle continues because there’s not enough education about sex and birth control, and not enough support. There’s not enough constructive discussion about abortion. It sucks. It really sucks. But the truth of the matter is it is a necessary option.”

Holly takes her mental health very seriously. The aim of her podcast is to create a kind, healthy and safe conversation to inspire healing and emotional well-being."I guess I've always portrayed a different image than what was actually going on and now I'm ready to speak more about my mental health journey and just show the real me rather than what I think people would like to see," she said in the show’s first episode. “I hope we can continue to break the stigma surrounding our mental health.

Holly also uses exercise as a method to treat her mental health issues. “What it does is allow you to process things. Whether it is cycling and chatting together, or running and having a cry on your own, you have to have that release,” she said on her podcast.

5. She Skis

Another fun way Holly stays fit? Downhill skiing. Not only is the sport great for muscle toning, but per the Mayo Clinic, the average person can burn 314 calories per hour on the slopes. "Dr. Finnoff says to prevent some downhill ski injuries, you should identify any deficits you have in strength, flexibility or balance. Physical conditioning starts with endurance exercises, particularly aerobic, which prevents fatigue. Strength training in your leg muscles helps you maintain control and absorb shock. And balance exercises coordinate your muscles to protect your joints," says the Mayo Clinic, quoting Dr. Jonathan Finnoff, a physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist at the Mayo Clinic Sports Medicine Center.
