1. She Puts Time Into the Gym

In preparation for a swimsuit bodybuilding competition, Giudice did 45 minutes of weight training every day and 45 minutes of cardio twice a day. She walked Bravotv.com through her favorite exercises: a tricep pulldown, some stretching, a low row (for her back), some leg exercises, like a seated leg curl, to work her hamstring and glutes, and a leg press.

2. She Works Her Glutes

Working your glutes can really help you lose weight, and here’s one you can do at home: This workout will engage in isometrics—or contracting and flexing your muscles for sustained periods of time—at your desk. (Remember: when it comes to your metabolism, every movement counts.) Perform this routine three times, resting for 10 seconds in between each exercise:

• Holding a pen, clench your forearms and your fists as hard as you can for a full twenty seconds. Then release.
• Squeeze your glutes (or cheeks!) together as hard as you can, ensuring that you rise out of your seat for at least an inch. Hold for 20 seconds and then release.
• Squeeze your entire body below the neck for a full 20 seconds and then release.
• Relax for 30 seconds.

3. She Eats Protein and Veggies

“My diet has changed. I even hate the word 'diet,' but I can’t eat carbs anymore. Like, I’m an Italian girl, I can’t eat my pasta—I gotta eat good carbs," she told Bravo. Instead, she eats: "Grilled chicken, grilled turkey, grilled cod, grilled flounder," she said. "Some of the vegetables I eat are asparagus, green beans. In the morning I have oatmeal; otherwise sometimes I make six egg whites, and I make an omelette out of it and I put some kind of vegetable in it."

4. She is Driven to Compete

Giudice is a competitive bodybuilder. Set goals for yourself. “Keeping your fitness level in mind, think about why you want to start a fitness program. Consider your health and fitness goals,” says the Mayo Clinic. “Perhaps your doctor has suggested that you start a fitness program to lose weight. If you're already active, maybe you want to increase the intensity of your fitness program to prepare for a 5K race or to get ready to participate in a favorite sport. Having clear goals can help you stay motivated.”

5. She Loves to Cook

Giudice has written multiple best-selling cookbooks, including Fabulicious!: Teresa’s Italian Family Cookbook, which has its own series of titles. When enjoying your own Italian food, be sure your pasta sauce doesn’t contain hidden added sugars. Sugary foods retrain our taste buds and mess with our bodily systems. When even tomato sauce is laced with sweetener, we then need greater and greater doses of sugar in order for the flavor to register. That leads us to seek out candies and baked goods at the expense of real food.

Gia Giudice has been in the public eye since she was young. She’s the daughter of Real Housewives of New Jersey star, Teresa Giudice. She’s also a clothing designer and has become a social media influencer. Giudice recently spent time by the beach, and shared some highlights on Instagram. In them, she sat on the rocks by the ocean. Giudice captioned the post, “Baha.” How does she stay so fit?

1. She Takes a Mature Approach

Giudice opened up about her and her family’s approach to the new RHONJ season to Page Six. She says that she is taking a more mature approach to handling things this season. “Me, my sisters and my mom, we definitely evolved more this season,” she explains. “We all wanted to take a more mature route and just really evaluate what was going on instead of [reacting] because we also felt like this whole ‘Teresa and her brother’ saga is just so old.”

2. She’s Moving On

Giudice and her family have dealt with a lot of drama, especially in these recent years. However, she tells Page Six that she is working on moving on from the past. “I think in general, we realized — especially around the time of my mom’s wedding — we were just like, ‘I think it’s time to just let bygones be bygones, put it in the past and just focus on our family and focus on us.'”

3. She Doesn’t Care About The Edit

Being on a reality show, Giudice has to deal with how the season is edited. She tells In The Know that she doesn’t care about what fans think or how things are edited. “Every season has its villain and every season has the person that they're attacking or targeting and every season they also have their favorite,” she explains. “So it's like the villain, the person they're attacking, the person that looks the best on the show. So, I've seen that formation where it's been like my mom, the one that everyone is against, or the next season she's the one that looks great. Or like this season they're making her cuts not what they really were. So I just feel like that was like the hardest thing to struggle with. It's like ‘well that's actually not how it went down’ or ‘that's actually not how that even happened.’ So, I've learned to just embrace it and also just say exactly what I want to say when I'm being filmed because otherwise like you're not gonna get your point across and the viewers also are just gonna have a different perception on.”

4. She Works With A Dermatologist

Giudice works with dermatologist, Tara Adashev, APRN, to help with her skin. “Gia comes to me to treat her skin,” Nurse Adashev tells HollywoodLife. “The Lutronic ULTRA Laser is great because there is no downtime. She returned to her college classes and normal life immediately, and she sees really great results as soon as one treatment.”

5. She Wants To Help Others

Giudice is about to graduate from college. Her next step? Law school. Guidice wants to become a lawyer to help people. In 2021, she said on Watch What Happens Live that her parents’ struggles inspired her to help other people not experience this. “Their whole experience influenced me, honestly, for the better,” Giuidice explained. “I just want to help families and be able to be there for families and help children, honestly, especially.”

Teresa Giudice has a lot to celebrate, as she recently got engaged to her boyfriend, Luis “Louie” Ruelas. The Real Housewives star posted a new photo from her vacation in Greece. Giudice posed in an infinity pool, while wearing a white bathing suit.
