Fitness Trainer Rachel Dillon in Workout Gear Shares a Day In the Life

Australian trainer Rachel Dillon is showing fans what a typical summer day looks like for the busy fitness influencer (don’t forget, it’s summer Down Under!). Dillon shared highlights of her food and activity, including a picture of herself wearing a white crop top and leggings, heading for a workout in the sunshine. “@movewithus meals coming into summer🥭🥗🫐,” she captioned the cheerful post. Dillon strives for balance and encourages others to do the same—here’s what her health and fitness regimen looks like.

1. Just Start!

Dillon’s best advice for fitness newbies is to just start. “Don’t be afraid to step outside of your comfort zone,” she told Happy Way. “Remember, we all started somewhere, but you have to be willing to learn and put in the effort. Write down your goals and your reasons why, stay consistent, trust the process, celebrate the small wins, and enjoy the journey.”

2. Lots of Fiber

Dillon is passionate about nutrition, especially showing those who are trying to eat at a deficit how to make filling, delicious meals. “I focus on adding high-fiber foods to my meals such as whole grains, vegetables and chia seeds to keep me feeling fuller for longer,” she says in an Instagram post about her daily diet. “On top of this, fiber is beneficial for our gut health so it’s a win-win 🙌.”

3. High-Volume, Low-Density Foods

Dillon loves foods that give you bang for the buck, calorie-wise. “You may have heard of volume eating but what does it exactly mean? This is where you focus on foods that are higher in volume (size) but lower in density (calories). For example, I might opt for 4x rice cakes with toppings over half a bagel to fill me up for the same calories!” she says on Instagram.

4. Non-Starchy Vegetables

Dillon loves low-starch vegetables as part of her diet. “Non-starchy veggies are high in fiber and extremely low in calories which is why it is not necessary to track these (if you are tracking). They are the perfect way to bulk up meals to help me feel satisfied + they are loaded with micronutrients (and delicious) 😻,” she says.

5. Lifting Weights

Dillon says muscle is key for a strong, fit body. “Lifting weights will not make you bulky!” she told Happy Way. “Achieving a so-called “bulky” look for a woman requires a particular type of training and nutrition protocols. Please don't be scared to gain muscle—it's often a necessary step to building your dream figure. At Move With Us, our goal is to help you achieve your goals no matter what they are, and we're here to provide all the support and tools you need to do so.

Rachael Finch is sharing a “mix + match” lunch idea – in her workout clothes. In a new social media post the health and wellness influencer shows off her washboard abs in a crop top and leggings, while cooking up a healthy meal. In the post she reveals her strategy, which involves “loading with veg first,” adding “enough” quality protein, fats, and carbohydrates “that digest well in my body,” using leftovers, and how she can create the meal in 5 to 10 minutes. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Daily Exercise

Rachael exercises daily. “I move my body every day! But every day is entirely different, there are no two weeks the same. On average throughout the week I will break up my fitness with cardiovascular training, strength training, flexibility and balance work, and yoga sessions,” she told Marie Claire.

2. Mixing Up Workouts

Rachael does lots of different workouts. “My favorite types of exercise are anything from yoga to stretch sessions, dance workouts, HIIT sessions, walks in the parks, interval training. My least favorite is anything that lasts longer than 45 minutes, or is too intense.”

3. Yoga and Pilates

One of her go-tos? “I love my BodyTone workout from my program⁠—the yoga-inspired sessions have the greatest impact. It’s a slower paced session and great for calming the mind first thing in the morning. This workout combines yoga and Pilates and works on flexibility, balance and total body strength,” she says.

4. Training and “Lazy” Days

Rachael also takes rest days. “I don’t count the number of days I am training, and I don’t count the days I rest. I purely go on how I feel and that may mean I have four lazy days out of a week, or may mean I have one lazy day, I may even train every day. It all depends on how my body and mind feel,” she says.

5. Collagen Coffee

Rachael is a coffee drinker, but she infuses it with collagen. “There is not a day that goes by that I don’t have my collagen coffee! I mix one scoop of Kissed Earth Brilliance Collagen, one scoop of medicinal mushrooms, 1 teaspoon of Maca powder, plus almond milk and black coffee. I blend it all in a blender and drink it with a big smile on my face.”

Danni Menzies is showing off her fit figure – in a sports bra and leggings. In a new social media post the A Place in the Sun presenter shows off her washboard abs during an intense workout circuit. “Last session in Glasgow with @chantelwilkie_fit ready to get down the road and take on London,” she captioned the post. How does the 34-year-old stay fit? Celebwell has the details on her latest workout and the other health habits responsible for her amazing figure.

1. She Goes Running

Danni told Runner’s World UK that she has been running since she was 8. “Running is an escape from London life. I live in Fulham and run 10km in a loop from Putney to Hammersmith along the Thames. I usually run two to three times a week but if I’m busy with work I’ll do that route once a week and then 5-8km on the other days,” she said. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

2. She Eats Healthy During the Week

On weekdays, Danni keeps her diet ultra healthy. “Before every run I have green juice and a coffee, and then an omelette with avocado when I get back,” she told Runner’s World. “On the weekends, she cheats! “I’m a health freak Monday to Friday but I love a Domino’s Pizza on a Sunday.”

3. She Uses Fitness Apps

Danni is a fan of fitness apps. “I use Nike Running Club's running app. If I see that friends I follow have gone out and ran 7km, I’ll go and do 9km. It’s a great motivator and I like the training programmes you can get on them,” she told Runner’s World.

4. She Does Reformer Pilates

“I do reformer pilates,” Danni told Daily Star UK. “I’m a bit of a fitness freak from Monday to Friday and then I party at the weekend.“I’m good at keeping on it Monday to Friday. I’m pretty health conscious.” Should you do Pilates? The Mayo Clinic confirms that there are lots of benefits to the workout, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility resulting in improved overall health. It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

5. She Also Does Yoga

“I try to do a lot of Yoga as well. I find it helps space doing exercise,” Danni added to Daily Star UK. “It makes you feel good as well as put your head in the right place too.” There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”

6. Here Is Her New Workout Routine

Strength training is also part of her routine. Here are the exercises she does in her latest video:

1. Sumo deadlifts
2. Barbell rows
3. Front raises with a plate
4. Chest press on the ground
5. Gorilla kettlebell rows
6. Skierg cardio
7. Burpees
8. Shoulder taps
