1. Keto Experience

Guthrie tried the keto diet, and says it made her mind sharp but sapped her energy. "I feel less energy in the sense that I don't want to work out any more,'' she said on the Dr. Oz Show. "I think I need those carbs to want to go on a run or do aerobics or do whatever I might do, but Hoda (Kotb) says she thinks it's making my mind sharper… I'm still kinda doing it. It's like a lot of meat and cheese. It's opened up some things that I would never let myself eat a lot of, such as cheese and bacon, so I like that."

2. Intermittent Fasting

Guthrie fasts and chooses food that makes her feel good. “I love healthy snacks that feel like a treat!” she tells First For Women. “I really like edamame and cucumbers. I’ll take a cucumber, peel it and eat it to feel more hydrated during the day. The crunch of both of those scratches that snacking ‘itch’ for me. Right now, I’m also intermittent fasting for 16 hours a day. In the morning, when I’m waiting to eat my breakfast, I’ll grab some sparkling water to stave off cravings. The truth is that I’m a 48-year-old who had two babies in her 40s, so I’m just trying to be more healthy by making good food choices, getting more exercise, sleeping a little bit better every night and staying strong so I have more energy to play with my kids.”

3. Yoga and Walking

Guthrie swears by low-intensity workouts such as yoga and walking to stay fit and happy. “I don’t put pressure on myself to do a big workout — just doing something small and enjoyable makes a world of difference!” she tells First For Women. “For instance, doing a few minutes of yoga each day has become such a stress reliever for me lately. I did a 30-day yoga challenge, and it became almost like a meditative practice. It helps me feel stronger, the stretching is a major stress reliever and it puts my mind in the right place. I also try to walk a lot. My daughter’s school is two miles away, and I’ll walk her there if I can. Having those few minutes of not looking at my phone and just moving is amazing!”

4. Self-Acceptance Struggle

Guthrie hasn’t always been confident about her appearance. “It’s a lifelong struggle for me,” she tells Health. “I’ve never once felt good about how I looked on the outside. I think all of us women spend so much time not feeling like we measure up. And what a waste of energy. I’m not there yet, but that’s my goal.”

5. Fueled By Faith

Guthrie relies on family and faith for a fulfilling life. “My strength comes from my faith,” she tells First For Women. “Every morning I say my prayers. It’s easy to get distracted or anxious, but faith is my North Star. Then, of course, my family: My husband, Michael, is my superhero. Knowing that he has my back is such a comfort. My mom, sister, brother and I are all really close. We’re in touch every day, either by phone or text. Having that family support makes such a huge difference.”

“Some workouts that we’ve loved doing that can be done on the bus are Tabatas. I also love turning fitness into a game because why not make it fun but still challenging?” Opera told PureWow. “Tabatas are a four-minute workout that involves 20-second bursts of exercise followed by 10 secs of rest for 8 rounds. You can do so much with it.” Here is an example:

• Round one: Pushups
• Round two: Plank with chest taps
• Repeat rounds one and two until you complete eight rounds.

3. She Does Sumo Squat Games

Opera also has Musgraves play this Sumo Squat game.

• Complete ten small sumo squat jumps (a sumo squat is just like a regular squat but your stance is wider than hip-width and feet and knees are pointing outward )
• Hold your squat for ten seconds in the down position
• Complete nine sumo squat jumps
• Hold in the down position for ten seconds
• Complete eight sumo squat jumps
• Hold in the down position for ten seconds and repeat this formula until you get down to a single rep.

Musgraves told Us that she also like Pure Barre. When she is traveling she brings the DVD with her. “I can do the workouts everywhere.” she said.

5. She Follows the 4 x 4 Diet

Erin follows Opera’s 4 x 4 diet, “a clean, healthy, balanced lifestyle so that they can still enjoy the foods they love, but in moderation.” She is allowed to drink alcohol, except in the week leading up to an award show. But other times, she is allowed to drink. “I’m not saying you can drink as much alcohol as you want, but I try to limit them to two drinks a week, which a lot of people are like, ‘Oh jeez! I need wine every night, that’s bologna!’ But literally you can do that.”

1. She Works Out, No Excuses

“I love to work out year-round, I’m lucky like that. I do swimwear jobs all year so I always try and stay in shape. But then when you’ve got 1.4 billion people watching, there’s no real excuse and there’s no off days so you just really up the anti. It has been quite difficult because I’ve been travelling a lot lately and doing early call times as well. It’s about getting yourself to the gym even though you’ve been up at 3am and shooting all day and on a plane,” she told Grazia.

2. She Strength Trains

Georgia does a lot of strength training exercises. “I do a lot of different sorts of exercises to keep it exciting and interesting,” she told Grazia, revealing that she trains with Joe Holder [@ochosystem] and does “a lot of strength work which I think my body responds really well to. In addition to strength training, I do a lot of interval training and just working really hard with no excuses.” In one Instagram post she showed off her workout, which involved everything “from jump rope to sprints and pull-ups,” she wrote. “Worked on hinge to keep the 🍑 tight with a couple deadlift variations and then make sure to keep that back right with some TRX rows and added in a small reach for a single arm variety. Big ball slams into passes to put it all together.”

3. She Runs

Prior to big shows, Georgia sets running challenges for herself. Prior to the 2018 Victoria’s Secret show, she set out to run a mile (1.6 kilometres) in seven-and-a-half minutes. “I chose that because I’m not really a runner at all myself but I was working out and wanted to do something that would really challenge me and push myself to get on the tread,” she told Grazia.

4. She Does Intermittent Fasting

While she doesn’t follow a specific diet, Georgia does time-restrictive eating. “I have been doing intermittent fasting which has been really great for my body to digest all my food overnight. I’ll start with a coffee with MCT in the morning,” she told Grazia.

5. She Loads Up on Healthy Fats

When it comes time to eat, Georgia consumes “a lot of really high-quality fats like avocado, walnuts, macadamia nuts and adequate proteins like salmon and leafy vegetables and greens,” she told Grazia. "I’ll have an avocado with every meal or lots of walnuts,” she added to Marie Claire. “I try to be super healthy and eat nothing processed. When I wake up, I’ll have a tea with some apple cider vinegar and then I’ll have a coffee. Then straight to the gym for a hard workout, a healthy breakfast and then I’ll go meet some friends for lunch – that is, if I’m not working."

6. She Does Pilates and Boxing

Aside from strength training, Georgia does a few other workouts. “I also add in pilates, boxing and I have to keep moving all the time," she told news.com.au. "Who doesn’t love the rush of endorphins after a brisk walk or spin class?" asks the Cleveland Clinic. "Endorphins are hormones that reduce pain and boost pleasure, creating a general feeling of well-being and positivity. So before you roll your eyes at your enthusiastic fitness instructor, consider how a steady state of endorphins does the body good."

Nikki Blackketter is sharing all the goodies she bought in Japan in her workout clothes. In a new social media post the YouTuber shows off her incredible figure in exercise clothes after returning from a trip. “This is by no means everything I brought back from Japan lol, but it’s definitely stuff that I would put in the ✨unnecessary✨ ((but FUN)) category 🧚🏼‍♀️,” she captioned the Instagram video. How does she approach health and wellness? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Weight Lifting

Nikki explained to Simply Shredded how she discovered weight lifting and bodybuilding. “When I was 18 I was a real ‘party girl.’ I was pretty much lost and had no direction in life and didn’t have any good role models to look up to. I finally decided that I was tired of going to school every day with a hangover. I hated the way my body looked and felt. I always thought that lifting weights would make me look ‘bulky.’ Once I found Jamie Eason and some other great fitness models, I decided to try it out; it was fun and I started to see results pretty quickly,” she said.

2. Five Day Split

Nikki does splits. “I have pretty much always done a five day split with three leg days and two upper body days. The first few years, I focused on building a solid foundation. Now I do a lot of isolation for my legs and glutes. I add in cardio here and there when I feel I need it, but I love tossing in plyos to keep my heart rate up,” she said.

3. Her Favorite Exercises

If Nikki had to pick only 3 exercises she revealed to Simply Shredded what they would be:

1. Step Ups: They are great because they hit my glutes and quads nicely and keep my heart rate up.
2. Squats: This is an excellent full body compound movement and I have fun hitting new PR’s.
3. Lunges: Never seem to get easy, but are great for my quads and glutes. I also love the variations you can do with these.

4. Flexible Dieting

Nikki tries not to be too restrictive with her diet. “I follow an ‘IIFYM,’ or ‘flexible dieting,’ diet. I love the balance it creates, and I never feel super restricted! Since I have switched to this type of diet, I have a very healthy relationship with food,” she told them.

5. Five Meals a Day

Nikki detailed her daily diet to Simply Shredded.

• Meal 1: 2 Whole Eggs, 2 Egg Whites and 2 packets Sugar Free Maple Brown Sugar Oatmeal
• Meal 2: 4 ounces Chicken, 1 slice Turkey Bacon, 2-3 cups Spinach, ½ cup Strawberries, ¼ cup Reduced Fat Feta Cheese, handful chopped Tomatoes, handful shredded Carrots, 1 tablespoon Olive Oil and 1 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar Dressing
• Meal 3: 4-6 ounces Chicken, 1 cup chopped White Potatoes, 3 ½ ounces Asparagus, and 1 tablespoon Reduced Sugar Ketchup
• Meal 4: 80 calorie Light and Fit Greek Yogurt, 5 ounces Bell Peppers and ½ cup Strawberries
• Meal 5: 1 serving Kodiak Power Cakes, 1 Whole Egg, 3 tablespoons Peanut Butter and ¼ cup Syrup

6. Cardio and HIIT Workouts

When she wants to lose weight, Nikki does more intense workouts. “I usually prefer normal cardio, but when I am really pushing for results, I’ll do HIIT. HIIT provides me with results more quickly. When I keep my calories low, I prefer using the Stairmaster,” she said.
