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.”

Olivia Culpo, the model, fashion blogger, and pageant queen (and restauranteur; her new spot Union & Main just opened in East Greenwich, Rhode Island), knows how to make a splash. In her most recent photo, she enjoyed a day in the pool. She wore a white stretch bathing suit, and captioned the post with an emoji of a dove, for "peace." How does she stay so fit?

1. She Works Out On A Regular Basis

Culpo revealed some of her workout secrets to HollywoodLife. She says that she makes sure to workout as much as she can. Even if she is busy or on the road, Culpo says that she still tries to do something. “I try to workout as many times a week as I can. Ideally, I workout five times a week but when I’m traveling for work or on set for 12+ hour days, it’s more difficult to carve out time.”

2. She Loves Cardio

Culpo has amazing abs. When HollywoodLife asked her how she got those abs, Culpo answered that she did a lot of cardio exercises, and explained why it works. “Cardio is a huge part of getting abs! When I am running regularly, I can actually achieve abs comparable to when I am doing regular ab exercises. Cardio helps keep your BMI low and also stimulates your metabolism so it stays at a higher rate throughout the entire day. So your body is in fat burning mode for much longer, it’s like the gift that keeps on giving.”

3. She Uses A Foam Roller

Culpo doesn’t just prioritize her workouts, she also makes time for recovery. She tells HollywoodLife that she likes to use a foam roller after an intense workout. “When I’m running a lot or strength training with heavier weight, I always make sure to stretch and foam roll a ton. This will keep your muscles from bulking up and becoming super dense.”

4. She Mixes Up Her Workouts

For Culpo, working out is all about variety. She tells HollywoodLife, “I really like to switch up my workouts and it’s important for me to incorporate some form of cardio. I would say an ideal workout combo for me would be Pilates/barre/P.volve and running.”

5. She Steams Veggies

Culpo tells Shape that she makes sure to eat veggies in her diet. However, she says that she likes to steam them instead of just eating them raw. "I think it's easier to digest [vegetables] when they're steamed, as opposed to raw,” she explained.

1. She Loves a Latte

Hawkins’ go-to coffee drink is a hazelnut latte. “Since coffee is naturally caffeinated, it can be used to give you an extra boost of energy before you work out,” according to Penn Medicine. “Coffee can also boost your mood and reduce the amount of pain you feel during or after a workout, therefore allowing you to exercise more frequently and for longer periods of time.”

2. Lots of Swimming

Hawkins frequently travels to hot beach locations, which means lots of pool and ocean swimming. “Although swimming can be great for the heart, lungs, blood vessels, and muscles, it doesn't do much for the bones,” says Harvard Health. “That's why swimmers need to supplement their aquatic training with some weight-bearing exercise, like strength training, walking, dancing, stair climbing, or gardening.”

3. Work That Makes Her Happy

Hawkins wants to go back to work she is passionate about, which is a great way to support mental health and happiness. “Before I went in I was on my acting journey,” she says. “I trained in musical theater. One day I'd like to go back into musical theater and just continue with my acting. I was always going to come out and go straight back to what I was before. I did Love Island but in terms of reality. For now I just want to focus on my passion and what I've been doing since I was a child.”

4. Rosé All Day

Hawkins enjoys drinking rosé wine, which should be consumed strictly in moderation. “Health care providers don't recommend that you start drinking alcohol for heart benefits, especially if you have a family history of alcohol use disorder,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Too much alcohol can have many harmful effects on the body. But if you already enjoy a glass of red wine with your evening meal, drinking it in moderation may improve your heart health.”

5. Real Emotions

Hawkins was accused of “toxic femininity” during her time on Love Island, but says it’s not a true representation of her character. “I had many times when I was in tears that wasn’t shown on TV,” she says. “There were real emotions. Maybe it was a case of big personalities clashing, it was so intense and arguments are inevitable when we were in a confined space together 24 hours a day. But it was definitely not a case of toxic femininity. When people meet me they will see the real me, I’m definitely not a villain. Now I’m out of the villa I’m looking forward to people seeing my fun side and my big heart. I’m a genuinely lovely person.”

Olivia Culpo just posted a whole series of bathing suit photos on Instagram. She wore a red strapless one, a simple black one, and a white one, among others. Culpo captioned the post, “Some of my fave Revolve bikinis from this past year.” How does she stay so fit?

1. She Loves Cycling

Culpo tells HollywoodLife that she likes to take fitness classes. She says that she loves cycling ones in particular. “I really do like SoulCycle. I just feel like it’s an easy meditative way to work out. I can really zone out during that workout." "The feeling of being part of something bigger and the camaraderie forged in group fitness classes is something that quite simply can’t be replicated. Group fitness classes exude positivity, and serve as a welcome invitation for people of all different ages, backgrounds, and ability levels to come together in one inclusive experience to move with passion and intention, all without judgement or expectation," says ACE Fitness.

2. She Does Pilates

Culpo also loves Pilates as a way of working out. She tells HollywoodLife, “I think Pilates is also another almost meditative type of workout. You can just forget everything and go through the motions and breathe.”

3. She Runs

For cardio, Culpo is an avid runner. She says to HollywoodLife that she aims to get a run in as often as she can, even with cold weather. “I like to run. It’s a little harder in the winter because it’s chilly.”

4. She Eats A Low Carb Diet On Occasion

When Culpo needs to eat healthy, she aims to eat a low-carb diet. “I try really hard,” she told HollywoodLife. “I really try to cut out carbs when I’m not working. When I’m preparing for something and being good, I cut out carbs. So my ideal good day would be egg whites, avocado, turkey bacon for breakfast. Then, for lunch, I would have a salad with protein, and for dinner, I would have veggies with protein.”

5. She Cooks

Culpo loves to make her own food. She says to Stylecaster that she likes to cook healthy meals for herself. “I have made everything from sweet potato toast to ginger-soy sautéed vegetables. I feel the healthiest when I make the food myself.” "In addition to being an excellent source of vitamins A and C, sweet potatoes are a good source of fiber, vitamin B-6 and potassium. And like all vegetables, they're relatively low in calories — one-half of a large sweet potato has just 81 calories," says the Mayo Clinic.

Model Olivia Culpo is known for her stunning Instagram photos, and isn’t afraid to show off her fit figure. Her fans love it. "Pics you all liked the most in 2021," she captioned a new series of photos.
