Olivia Culpo is reuniting with her mother-in-law at her husband’s football game – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the influencer and reality star shows off her fantastic figure in exercise clothes while in the bleachers. “When you’re reunited with your MIL after 10 long weeks without football,” she writes across the hilarious Instagram video. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
1. Healthy Eating
Olivia sticks to the 80-20 rule, she told Hamptons magazine. "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 said. Healthy fiber and protein help keep her fueled throughout the day. Coffee with oat milk and a bowl of fruit, avocado toast and egg whites is ger go-to breakfast. For lunch she has a salad. "I love chicken and any veggies with a miso vinaigrette," she added to Women’s Health. She also keeps healthy snacks on hand. "I'm obsessed with nuts," she revealed to Women's Health. She mixes sweet with salty. "I need energy on set, so I like the raisins and the chocolate," she explained.
2. Short Workouts
Olivia prefers short and impactful workouts. She even created the 20-minute Cardio Challenge on social media, “basically 20 minutes of cardio at whatever speed you want,” she says. “I've been doing it with my followers encouraging them to join the challenge and just do whatever feels right for 20 minutes.” A bonus is that "it doesn't feel too overwhelming," and it is an easy way to get moving. "Before you know it, it's over."
3. P.Volve
Olivia is one of the many celebrity fans of P.volve, a low-impact method with portable equipment that can be done anytime, anyplace. "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. Consistency
"I've noticed it's very important to be consistent with workouts. 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 told Shape. "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 exercises almost every day. "I try to workout as many times a week as I can,” she told HollywoodLife. “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."
5. Cardio
If you want flat abs, do cardio, says Olivia. "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," she said.
