Larsa Pippen, star of The Real Housewives of Miami and socialite, has built a reputation as someone who values both wellness and fun. With her return to the show’s rebooted fourth season and an appearance on The Traitors, she remains a prominent figure in reality TV. Outside of the spotlight, Pippen’s Instagram offers a glimpse into her fitness routine, lifestyle choices, and self-care practices. In September, she shared new photos on Instagram, captioned “Xo,” showing her fans that staying healthy and balanced is a key part of her life. Whether it’s her love for cooking or her daily commitment to squats, Pippen makes fitness and wellness an integral part of her daily routine.
1. She Doesn’t Diet
Pippen shared some of her diet secrets in an interview with HollywoodLife. She says that she doesn’t believe in going on a restrictive or fad diet. “I don’t think you can sustain that keto diet or the Atkins Diet. Personally, I don’t feel like those work. For me it’s more it’s more about eating healthy and portion control. That’s the only thing that lasts forever.”

Pippen revealed to HollywoodLife that she loves to cook to help her eat healthy. “I’m really big on prepping what you eat for the whole week,” she says. “I cook every day for my kids. I have a menu that I draw up [for] all week so I know what we’re gonna eat. If you’re prepared like that you tend to eat healthier, as opposed to not knowing what you’re gonna eat and then you end up eating junk. For instance, today, I made oatmeal with a little bit of brown sugar, raisins and walnuts for breakfast. I have salmon, broccoli and brown rice that I’m going to make for lunch. And then for dinner I’ll have a salad with chicken breast. I love to eat.”
3. She Goes To The Beach
Living in Miami means that Pippen spends a lot of time at the beach. She shares a lot of photos on Instagram of herself enjoying a beach day. According to Piedmont, going to the beach is very beneficial. “Angela Buttimer, MS, NCC, RYT, LPC, a licensed psychotherapist at Cancer Wellness at Piedmont, shares the mind-body benefits of time by the water and how you can reap the benefits at home all year long… ‘The beach can also offer psychological and spiritual metaphors for things we want in our lives that sometimes escape us: spaciousness, playfulness and a sense that time has slowed down,” she says. ‘People want these things in their lives, but don’t feel they can connect with them.’”
4. She Loves Squats
Pippen tells HollywoodLife that she likes to do squats each day. She also broke down her typical squat routine in the interview. “I do squats almost every day,” Pippen said. “You don’t need weights for that. You’re just [using] your own body weight. I do 40 squats a set. If you incorporate weights into that then you wouldn’t have to do so many. You would just do 12-15 reps.”
5. She Enjoys Working Out
Pippen shared some of her fitness secrets with HollywoodLife. She says that she enjoys working out. “For me fitness is a lifestyle,” she says. “I really love doing it. It helps your mind, your body, and the balance it gives you is really important in life… A lot of times we get lost and we start focusing on other people or other things that are not necessarily good for you and this is the one thing that you can do for yourself and make time for yourself.”
