1. Follow the 80-20 Rule

Olivia eats healthy, most of the time. "I stick to the 80-20 rule," she dished to Hamptons magazine about her diet. "Eighty percent of the time I'm really good, and then 20% of the time I allow myself to eat, not whatever, but indulge a little more, I guess you could say." She told Women’s Health that she fuels up on healthy fiber and protein throughout the day, starting her morning off with coffee with oat milk and a bowl of fruit, avocado toast and egg whites, followed by a salad for lunch. "I love chicken and any veggies with a miso vinaigrette."

2. Exercise a Little Every Day

Olivia’s approach to fitness? Work your body a little bit every day. She recently created the 20-minute Cardio Challenge on social media. "That is basically 20 minutes of cardio at whatever speed you want. I've been doing it with my followers encouraging them to join the challenge and just do whatever feels right for 20 minutes," she explains. Why is it so great? Because "it doesn't feel too overwhelming," and it is an easy way to get moving. "Before you know it, it's over."

3. Find Convenient Workouts

Olivia is a big fan of P.volve, a low-impact workout with portable equipment that can be done anywhere. "The P.volve workout is great for me because I travel a lot," she told Shape. "There are 3-pound ankle weights, 2-pound free weights, and tons of elastic bands that you can use in different ways."

4. She Snacks

Olivia arms herself with healthy snacks to prevent grabbing others that are not quite as nutritious. "I'm obsessed with nuts," she told Women's Health, adding that she opts for salted over unseasoned dubbing them "too boring." She also mixes her nuts with sweets. "I need energy on set, so I like the raisins and the chocolate," she explained.

5. Be Consistent

Consistency is key when it comes to exercise, per Olivia. "I've noticed it's very important to be consistent with workouts," she told Shape. "I think it's really easy for people to go through phases where they're really intense with their workouts and then they kind of fall out of it." She tries to workout daily. "I try to stay active as much as I can by doing low-impact, high-intensity workouts so that I'm consistent and I don't wake up one day and realize it's been two weeks and I haven't worked out."

Olivia Culpo knows about looking good: She's won Miss Rhode Island USA, Miss USA, and then Miss Universe. (Wow.)

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 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.

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

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.”

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.

Olivia Culpo is a red carpet queen! The actress hit the premiere of her latest movie, Venus as a Boy, on Thursday night, steaming it up in sheer, gorgeous Maison Valentino gown. “Thank you @maisonvalentino for this gorgeous look!” the 29-year-old captioned a series of photos of herself, flaunting her fabulous figure in the designer look.
