Culpo revealed some of her wellness secrets to Shape Magazine. She revealed that she struggles with endometriosis, and has turned to holistic healing methods to help. “Right now, I'm trying to figure out new ways to heal holistically through what I'm eating and the rest that I'm giving myself. I'm also exploring acupuncture, massages, Chinese herbal medicine, and maybe cutting out caffeine. I'm going to actively try to help people who live with this and not just talk about my experience."
2. She Believes In The 80/20 Rule
When it comes to eating, Culpo believes in balance. She tells Shape that she still indulges from time to time, and uses a popular eating plan to do so. "My eating philosophy is the 80-20 rule,” she says. “80 percent of the time I'm super healthy, and 20 percent of the time I indulge.”
3. She Cooks Her Favorite Indulgences

While Culpo still indulges, she doesn’t do so in a traditional way. She tells Shape that she likes to make a lot of her favorite indulgences. “I love to bake, and I love to cook. So typically when I indulge, it's not by going out somewhere.”
4. She Loves High Intensity Interval Training
Culpo also revealed some of her favorite workouts to Shape. “I also found high-intensity interval training to be the most fun and also the most effective for my body. I love the competitive angle of it too, making it a group situation with friends at classes like SoulCycle, where you can take in the energy of everyone else."
5. She Does Cardio For Her Abs

Culpo has amazing abs. However, you’d be surprised to hear that she doesn’t turn to crunches and traditional ab workouts to get them. “Cardio is a huge part of getting abs,” she revealed to HollywoodLife. “When I am running regularly, I can actually achieve abs comparable to when I am doing regular ab exercises.”
