Her favorite post-workout snack is Fairlife chocolate milk. For lunch she has a salad for lunch with cranberries, walnuts, beets, apples, goat cheese and balsamic dressing paired with water with lemon. In the afternoon she has a green juice with kale, cucumber, green apple, and lemon. Dinner is salmon and asparagus with quinoa for dinner.
2. Fight
“My current favorite workout is boxing,” Hailey told People. “I box for cardio and toning five or six times a week. It’s a great way to relieve stress.

Hailey downs 101 ounces of bottled water daily. “I never leave the house without a water bottle in hand,” she told People. “I drink about six bottles every day.” According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.
4. Eat Clean, But Cheat
Hailey finds “simple ways to eat clean.” However, she allows herself to indulge on occasion. Her favorite cheat meal? Barbecue and nachos. “This is my job,” she told People about staying in shape. “But what girl doesn’t love a cheeseburger? You can’t deprive yourself of what you love.”
5. Lift Weights
“I lift weights. It sounds like a manly thing, but at the end of the day I follow a lot of people on Instagram that inspire me to lift weights and stay healthy. I think cardio is overrated,” she told Ok!
6. Find a Workout Buddy
Hailey tol Fashion Week Daily that aside from finding an exercise you love, “if you need motivation, find a workout buddy.” Who was her go-to workout pal in 2015? “My boyfriend, Jullien Herrera, who, lucky for me, happens to be a professional trainer! We work out at either Overthrow in Soho or do outdoor workouts along the Hudson.”
