1. Get Serious About Exercise
Olivia started her “training journey” nearly 8 years ago. Initially she created her own workout plans. However, she started working with a professional when she hit her plateau. “Feeling so motivated again,” she wrote in one of her Instagram Stories. How many days a week does she sweat? In another Instagram Story she revealed that she works out five to six days per week.
2. Avoid Ab Workouts
Olivia doesn’t do any ab workouts. “I just do really heavy compound lifts which work my entire torso,” she revealed in an Instagram Story Q&A. Insteads, she focuses on her “back or quads.” She loves doing bent over rows and squats. If she does decide to work on her midsection, she will do in and outs, toe touches, russian twists, and planks, she wrote in another post.
3. Skip Cardio
For the most part, Olivia’s workout routine is cardio free. Why? She says it is because she doesn’t want to lose weight and instead focuses on building muscle. “The most I do right now is walking for like 10 minutes before I start if I feel like it,” she said.
4. Switch Up Your Workout Routine Regularly
Like many people serious about fitness, Olivia switches up her routine regularly. In her Instagram Stories she revealed that she starts a new routine every four weeks. "Recent studies report significant health benefits from interval training, which means exercising at a higher intensity for short periods. For example, you can sprint for 30 seconds and then walk for one to two minutes, and repeat this several times," says the Mayo Clinic. "For many people, walking is a great choice for aerobic exercise. In fact, walking is one of the most natural forms of exercise. It's safe, it's simple, and all it takes to get started is a good pair of walking shoes and a commitment to include aerobic exercise in your daily routine."
5. Fuel Up with Food
Because Olivia doesn’t want to be skinny, she uses food as fuel and has to eat a lot. She shared one of her breakfasts, and it was quite hearty, consisting of breakfast potatoes, eggs, and an english muffin with peanut butter. "Sadly, peanut butter isn’t very good for you — at least in the amounts that we’re used to consuming. Peanut butter contains protein, good monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats and contains the powerful antioxidant vitamin E, bone-building magnesium, potassium and vitamin B6," says the Cleveland Clinic. "The problem is that many of us are eating way too much. Whether it’s slathering it all over bread or eating it by the spoonful, peanut butter is definitely a snack food we’re overdoing."
