1. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

Cook revealed her wellness secrets to InStyle. She says that she likes to do a lot of different exercises. “I’m a big runner—I try to run two miles a day. Then I work out with my trainer at Work Train Fight, doing HIIT workouts like burpees and lunges. If I need a day off, I’ll do yoga or something low-intensity.”

Cook tells InStyle that her career requires her to do a lot of weight training and muscle building. “At swim shoots it's a lot about definition, no matter what size or shape you are. So when you’re about to be in a bikini, weight work is best. I always try and appreciate however my body is at the moment, but I love when I see the little line down the side—that’s always great.”

3. She Cuts Out Sugar Before A Shoot

Cook revealed how she preps for a photoshoot to InStyle. She says that she likes to avoid sugar around 10 days before. “I start cutting sugar 10 days before. Every time I stop eating sugar, it's immediate, and when you're going to the gym every day, cutting out sugar changes the game. I see myself getting a lot more shredded.”

Cook tells InStyle that she always tries to stay hydrated, especially when she has a shoot. “A week before the shoot, you have to make sure you're drinking a lot of water. You want to be hydrated because it shows up in the way your skin looks, in the way that your body looks, in the way that you're acting and feeling.”

5. She’s Embracing Herself

Cook is open about her previous struggles with her body. She says that she is working on embracing herself and feeling confident. "I feel like no matter if you have cellulite, no matter if your stomach has rolls, no matter if your stick thin, whatever you look like, I feel like life is too precious to not go out there putting your best foot forward and loving yourself," Cook told ABC News. “I just don't want life to pass me by. And I'll look back and say, why didn't I appreciate myself?"
