Vikings Stunner Katheryn Winnick in Two-Piece Workout Gear Says "Grow" on Hike

Katheryn Winnick, best known for her role in Vikings, maintains an active and healthy lifestyle. In June, she shared a glimpse of her time hiking in Joshua Tree on Instagram. Pictured in a brown tank top, shorts, and a straw hat, she captioned the post, “Grow,” highlighting her passion for outdoor activities. Winnick’s approach to fitness, beauty, and self-care is a balanced combination of exercise, healthy eating, and natural skincare. Here's how she stays in great shape.

1. She Hikes

As you can see from her post, Winnick loves to hike to keep herself in shape. Harvard Health states that hiking has a lot of benefits. “‘Navigating a winding, wooded trail can help your body build endurance, strength, and coordination,’ says Dr. Edward Phillips, assistant professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation at Harvard Medical School. ‘Hiking over uneven terrain requires more energy than walking on a level surface, so it burns more calories. If you are hiking uphill, your body has to work even harder,’ he says. A rigorous hike may offer many of the same physical benefits as interval training, which alternates low- and high-intensity exercise to increase cardiovascular fitness. During a hike, your heart rate goes up as you move up an incline and drops when you head downhill.”

2. She Takes Care Of Her Hair

Winnick has amazing hair, and she makes sure to take care of it. She shared her routine with Vogue. “Believe it or not, I am pretty low maintenance with my hair. My mum used to tell me as a child that I needed to brush my hair a hundred times a day to get thick hair. I know it’s an old wives’ tale, but that’s exactly what I did. I have worked with the same colourist for many years and we use a specific formula that doesn’t do damage to the hair. On the Vikings set, I air-dry my hair and use very little product. I found that most products weigh my hair down. Every night, I braid my hair and sleep on a silk pillow so it instantly crimps the next day and is easy to style.”

3. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

Winnick does a lot of different exercises to stay in shape. She shared her favorites with Vogue. “A combination of weight training, fighting, boxing, and enjoying outdoor activities such as hiking, jogging, horseback riding and kayaking. I feel exercise is incredibly important for both the mind and body. It is important for me to stay consistent with my exercise, especially with such long hours and multiple locations.”

4. She Eats Healthy

Winnick broke down her typical diet to Vogue, and it’s pretty healthy. “I believe in drinking hot water and lemon every day, as well as mint tea. I eat a strictly gluten free diet. I believe it’s helped me increase my energy, as well as keeping me fit. I try and stick to a base of vegetables and proteins while also trying to eat more often, about five small meals a day. It is important to sustain energy throughout the day. I also love juicing.”

5. She Takes Care Of Her Skin

Winnick shared her skincare secrets with Vogue. “I have been trying to get facials once every couple of months for proper cleansing of the skin. Especially when I am on set with all the dirt, smoke machines and fires, my skin gets congested really easily. I believe in using natural products. I recently began using a Clarisonic, which I love because it is such an easy, fun way to cleanse your face. Lastly, I exfoliate every day, topping it off with a serum, and then a good moisturiser right before I go to bed.”

Katrín Davíðsdóttir, a renowned CrossFit athlete, constantly motivates her followers by sharing her fitness journey on Instagram. Recently, she posted a video of herself applying sunscreen before embarking on a run, highlighting the importance of sun protection. In her caption, she expressed her joy about getting back into her training routine: "SO HAPPY to be training consistently again 😭☀️ & soaking in the last of these summer rays! .. with SPF of course 😏 Went for a 4 mile run with Koda this morning 🐾🐺🩶Then this afternoon did 6x600m on the assault runner with 2:00 rest between. Felt like I was running at decent speed today & got a decent volume! AHHHHHH WOW THANKFUL to be moving & sweating in sun ❤️🫶🏼☀️"

1. She Runs

As you can see from the caption of her Instagram post, Davíðsdóttir likes to run to stay in shape. Valley Oaks states that running is very beneficial. “After going for a run, your body experiences a drop in the stress hormone cortisol. This reduction diminishes feelings of stress, allowing you to go about the rest of your day with less tension and anxiety. In addition to mitigating stress, running also invokes feelings of calmness. Following a run, your body releases chemicals called endocannabinoids. These chemicals flow through your bloodstream and into your brain, relaxing your mind and body.”

2. She Uses A Stationary Bike

Davíðsdóttir likes to use a stationary bike to stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself riding one in the sun. Davíðsdóttir captioned the post, “Morning ride with my Kodaboy ☀️🐺🥹🫶🏼 It was a leg burner, but got the job done when I didn’t have much time! 1:00 - 2:00 - 3:00 - 4:00: Sitting at a low threshold pace. Standing at a Damper 10 For a total of 20mins! Let me know if you try it. The 3 & 4 minutes start to get reeeeeal spicy on the standing 🌶️🔥😮‍💨” Davíðsdóttir is also seen on a bike in this video.

3. She Surfs

Davíðsdóttir spends a lot of time outside. One thing she enjoys doing is going surfing. She shared some videos of herself riding the waves in this Instagram post. Davíðsdóttir captioned it, “Summer lake nights - there is nothing like it ☀️🧡🏄🏼‍♀️🌊 Got to have my Tori with us this whole week & if you leave the sound on for ANY of the videos you will basically just hear belly laughter 😂🫶🏼🌻 she’s my happy little sunflower. LOVE YOU TOR @toridysonnn.”

4. She Hikes

Another outdoor workout Davíðsdóttir enjoys is going on hikes. She shared this post on Instagram of herself and her boyfriend hiking in Iceland. Davíðsdóttir captioned the post, “My Canadian boyfriend showing me all around Iceland ❤️🌋This was my first time getting to join a @worldplayground experience! My plan was to join much more of the trip, but since I was still only 2 weeks out from my surgery & I wasn’t ready to do hard, long hikes .. BUT this one was relatively light & only 3.2 km each way & I didn’t want to miss out on this experince & holy smokes it didn’t dissapoint (also I was so proud of my back 🥹 it was a big step in my recovery & showing myself what I can do!!!).”

5. She Stretches

Davíðsdóttir shared this video on Instagram of herself doing different stretches in the gym. Harvard Health states that stretching is very beneficial. “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”

1. Training Regimen

Winnick loves outdoor workouts whenever possible. “A combination of weight training, fighting, boxing, and enjoying outdoor activities such as hiking, jogging, horseback riding and kayaking,” she told Vogue. “I feel exercise is incredibly important for both the mind and body. It is important for me to stay consistent with my exercise, especially with such long hours and multiple locations.”

2. Water and Face Oil

Winnick swears by water and oils to take care of her skin. “I drink a lot of water at room temperature and I pretty much chug it at once versus sipping. It’s important to stay hydrated all the time,” she told New Beauty. “Right now, I’m shooting in Albuquerque, so it’s important to also have hydrating oils for my skin. Instead of lotions, I find that oils absorb better. I’m also religious about cleaning my face two to three times a day. Before bed, I make sure to take off all makeup and sunscreen from the day. And of course, sunscreen is huge for me. In the morning, even when I’m driving, I put sunscreen on my face. It’s really important to make that part of your daily routine.”

3. Five Meals a Day

Winnick loves juicing and drinking tea. “I believe in drinking hot water and lemon every day, as well as mint tea,” she told Vogue. “I eat a strictly gluten free diet. I believe it’s helped me increase my energy, as well as keeping me fit. I try and stick to a base of vegetables and proteins while also trying to eat more often, about five small meals a day. It is important to sustain energy throughout the day. I also love juicing.”

4. Bathing Before Bed

Winnick always takes a bath at the end of the day. “I take a bath every night no matter what time I get home,” she told New Beauty. “It also teaches my body that it’s time for bed. The hot water ensures I don’t take a long bath and it’s a great way to steam and help take off my makeup, even if it’s just for five to 10 minutes.”

5. Martial Arts Background

Winnick has a background in martial arts, and says that’s what she would be doing if acting didn’t work out. “At the age of 16, I started my first business running a martial arts school called WinKai Martial Arts,” she told Vogue. I had three schools in Toronto by the time I was 21. I fell in love with teaching self-defense to families and young women. Since I love business, if I weren’t an actor, I’d get more involved with being an entrepreneur and building things in a positive way.”

Lindsey Vonn is getting her sweat on – and flaunting her fit figure. In a new social media post the skier shows off her amazing body in a two-piece workout look while executing a workout at the gym. “Back on my @redbull grind and man, it feels good! Getting as strong as I can… think I might have a plan for the knee, but first I need to get,” she captioned the Instagram Reel. What exercises are helping her get strong and what other health habits does she practice? Here is everything you need to know.

1. Here Is Her Latest Workout

According to Kendra Gamble, HIT Fitness Training, Huntingdon Valley, PA, NPTI Certified Personal Trainer and Nutritional Consultant, Lindsey’s workout includes:

• Single leg hip thrust
• Standing abduction machine (can be done with a band)
• Lying hamstring curl
• Inverted row
• *Back extension
• *Side plank hip adduction
• TRX push up

2. She’s Training to Be “Lean and Fit” with Weight Training

Lindsey admits she has gotten "a lot leaner" after retiring from skiing. "I used to do things that were so sport specific, so I had to be bigger," she told New York Post's Alexa magazine. "But everyone is like, 'Oh my God, you're in the best shape of your life.' It's like — yes and no. I'm not training for my sport anymore, I am training to be lean and fit,” she said. She has dramatically decreased her body fat with the help of trainer Gunnar Peterson. "Different training. Different diet. Crazy!" Her workouts are no joke, and she trains three to four times a week. "Whatever you like doing is what you should be doing," she told Women’s Health. Her workouts are a combo of strength and weight training, using a lot of weighted balls, battle ropes, lifts, squats.

3. She Also Does Two Cardio Workouts a Week

Lindsey supplements her weight and strength training with two cardio workouts a week, but you won’t find her running on the treadmill. "I have a doctor's note that says I should never run again in my life, and I'm okay with that," she says. Instead she cycles or surfs.

4. She Also Walks After Dinner

"I have to go outside and walk the glucose off with my dog," Lindsey says about her post-dinner strolls. According to science, you should too. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

5. Her Diet Is “Clean”

Lindsey no longer follows her “ski season” diet of “a lot of protein and carbs,” she told People. Phil Goglia revamped her diet when she retired, and it now involves a lot of water, eating clean food, and timing her meals. “I try not to eat too much in the morning before I work out,” she told Women’s Health. Post-workout Lindsey eats “egg white omelets with broccoli, chicken, and pepper, and stuff like that.” For lunch, she might have chicken or salmon with kale or cabbage. For dinner, her plate is filled with a mix of protein and veggies – like chicken salad with avocado or a zucchini pasta with bolognese meat sauce. Almonds, kiwis, and blueberries are go-to snacks. Overall she tries to eat a lot of plant-based foods. “Listen, the kitchen can be intimidating to anyone. But I’m here to tell you: You can do it. And with the new year, let’s do it better, together. I’ve got 14 places to help you start eating more plant-based foods,” she captioned a recent post, suggesting the Just Egg cookbook to her followers.
