She Hits the Gym
Olivia works out at the gym – even while on vacation. "I'd much rather hit the gym than go for a run, so to get ready for summer I make sure I go the gym and get loads of squats done. Squats are the secret! Also, because I don't like hitting the beach with pale skin, I try to build up a base tan in the garden and often get a spray tan before heading off somewhere sunny," she told Checklists.
She Eats Healthy, Whole Foods
When Olivia goes grocery shopping she stocks up on "lots of healthy staples like eggs, smoothies, spinach, smoked salmon, bagels and avocados. I tend to end up eating breakfast foods at all hours of the day – even for dinner," she dished to Checklists. What is her favorite meal? "I make a mean roast dinner and I have an amazing recipe for fish cakes, which I make from scratch. The fish cakes are my go-to dish for when I have mates over for dinner," she said.
She Hydrates
Olivia prioritizes hydration. "I'm also obsessed with drinking water, so my fridge is always stocked up with plenty of bottles of Evian," she told Checklists. 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.
She Swims
Olivia calls the pool her "happy place" and loves swimming laps. Swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity, according to the CDC. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, there are multiple studies supporting the mental health benefits of swimming as well.
She Has Self-Love
"If I was ten out of ten then, I'm better than that now. I'm totally happy with the way I look," Olivia told The Sun. "I actually look better now because I'm healthy, I eat properly and go to the gym, whereas in my twenties I was living off McDonald's and white wine spritzers," she said. "I wouldn't change anything and there's nothing I am really that unhappy with."
