1. She Prioritizes Nutriton and Hydration

“Fitness starts with good nutrition,” Vanessa told Best Health “You only have one body, so fuel it right and give it the attention it needs.” One of her main rules? Drink lots of water and maintain a healthy diet. “You can train your abs three hours a day and still not see results if you’re not eating the right things.”

2. She Does a Lot of Cardio

Vanessa also makes cardio a priority. “Before abs can become visible, you need to burn fat by doing cardio,” she told Best Health.

3. Do Lots of Ab Work

Vanessa makes sure to do lots of ab work. “In addition to your normal workout, always add 10 minutes of a variation of ab exercises,” she told Best Health. “Do this every day and you will see results!”

4. She Works Out…A Lot

If Vanessa has shows every day, she will “use the show, the warm up and the cool down as my workout,” she told Best Health. “Other than that, I listen to what my body needs—and mostly it screams: give me some yoga and stretching.” However, on a typical day, “I’ll wake up at 9 am and have a big glass of water before I go into a stretching and meditation session. After breakfast, depending on what I have on my agenda, I do some work. Then, in the evening, I’ll go to the gym for a half-hour of cardio and an hour of body weight and resistance training. And usually, I’ll finish with a cool down of stretching for 20 minutes.”

5. She Loves Oats

Vanessa never starts the day without oats. “I have to have oats; they fuel my body with energy, good carbs and fibres,” she told Best Health. While not a big fan of supplements, shehas Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) during and after her workouts. “They help me recover my muscles,” she said.

Vanessa Bauer started her career as a teen competing in figure skating championships. Since 2018, she has been a professional on the reality series, Dancing On Ice. Bauer won her first season, and is also a four-time runner up. Bauer also posts a lot of travel content on her Instagram. In a recent highlight video, she is seen going hiking and swimming in a river with friends. She captioned the post, “Keep being genuine. Your people will find you.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Vanessa Bauer stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Does Crunches

Bauer posted this video on Instagram of herself doing core exercises.. In it, she is seen doing tangled leg crunches, straight leg crunches, and starfish crunches.

2. She Eats Healthy

In her Instagram post, Bauer revealed her approach to eating for healthy abs. She says that staying hydrated and eating healthy is important to her. “People ask me what I do to get such defined abs. 🤷🏽‍♀️ Firstly, abs are made in the kitchen. You can work out 6 hours a day like crazy and still don’t see the definition. 🤦🏽‍♀️ That happens when you’re not eating right or you don’t drink enough water.!”

3. She Rollerskates

Bauer likes to skate on and off the ice, as she likes to rollerskate. Bauer opened up about why she picked this up in an interview with The Telegraph. “I am not usually a very emotional person, but at the start of lockdown I was crying a lot. Ice rinks everywhere had closed and I usually skate every single day because I am so passionate about it. I headed home to Berlin and I was very depressed for at least the first two weeks or so of the lockdown. But then I got sent my new roller boots that mimic ice-skating even off the ice. They feel so much like ice skating. It was such a cool side hobby to learn during this lockdown.”

4. She Makes Time For Herself

Bauer has a busy schedule, but she is making time for herself. One thing she likes to do is go on solo vacations. Bauer shared this video on Instagram from one of her trips. She captioned it, “It’s exactly why those trips away are so crucial to me. To get clear about what I want, to see my goals from a distance and get perspective on where my current choices are leading me to. Rather than staying away for months at a time (which I used to do to “find myself”) I already know that I have (for now anyway!) I’m so grateful I’ve been able to pursue exactly what I wanted since starting DOI and making sure I’m always on the right track. Depending on what my focus of the year was 📈 I know this isn’t possible for everyone so I feel blessed in many ways I’ve worked hard to get to a stage that allows me to do so and I’ll never stop.”

5. She Swims

Bauer spends a lot of time at the beach. She naturally likes to swim as a way to stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself wading in the ocean.
