1. Approach Health Holistically

Nina has a holistic approach to health and even created her own method. “I wanted to create The Agdal Method to start spreading the word that it’s not about how long you spend in the gym, going to a workout for 60 minutes and torturing yourself, or only drinking green juices and eating lettuce,” she told W. “What’s going on in your personal life, and your relationships, your finances, has to do with what’s going on your plate and how much exercise you’re getting in on a weekly basis.”

2. Move

Nina makes sure to move on a daily basis. “I think we have to all give ourselves a little bit of grace when we’re traveling. It’s really hard keeping up with any sort of workout schedule when you’re thrown off your routine and not in your normal environment. When I’m traveling, if I just get that 15 or 20 minutes in, (on the mat or on a towel or going for a jog outside to see where I am) it’s always extremely helpful for me mentally,” she told W.

3. Play Music to Get Pumped Up

Nina emphasizes the importance of music when it comes to exercise. “The most important thing I always tell people is to create great playlists that make you want to move,” she told W. “I always tell people, ‘Don’t bother bringing [equipment] with you. You can always use water bottles, you can use towels, you can go outside and use a chair.’ But just make sure you have your playlist ready.”

4. Don’t Diet

Nina doesn’t promote diet culture. “In terms of wellness, I think diets are such a lie. I don’t believe in the word ‘diet,’ or diets at all, for that matter,” she told W. “I made my own ‘diet soup’ once, which was basically water, chicken broth, celery, and tomatoes. I had one spoonful of it, and I never had it again. I thought it sounded like a great idea, but it wasn’t pleasant,” she added to Coveteur.

5. Hydrate

Nina prioritizes hydration. “I drink at least eight cups of water a day. I also drink a lot of iced or hot green tea because I love the taste, plus it gives me energy and can speed up your metabolism—or at least I believe so! I always try to start my day by drinking an entire bottle of water while taking my vitamin supplements. In the morning, I get a large Americano, and in the afternoon, I’ll get an iced soy macchiato,” she told Coveteur. According to the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine men should drink about 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day and women about 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids.

6. Eat Healthy

Nina nourishes her body with food. She starts her day with coffee, and either scrambled eggs or Greek yogurt for protein. “If I’m cooking for myself, I try to keep it simple so there’s not too much cleaning to do afterwards. My go-to is an omelette with vegetables like broccoli, asparagus, bell peppers, chili flakes, and Parmesan cheese. Or I’ll do a steak with a tossed salad,” she told Coveteur. She also likes to eat dried mango, hummus with celery, green juice with kale, celery, parsley, ginger, apple, and Greek yogurt. “Or half an avocado smashed with a little bit of salt and chili flakes on a piece of whole-wheat toast. The chili flakes add just enough heat. I also love a good burger or a steak with a little béarnaise sauce. After a week of hard work, I’ll reward myself with that and an ice-cold beer.”
