Olivia eats healthy most of the time. "I stick to the 80-20 rule," she told Hamptons magazine.

She explained to Women’s Health that she fuels up on healthy fiber and protein throughout the day, starting her morning off with coffee with oat milk and a bowl of fruit, avocado toast and egg whites. For lunch she will nosh on a salad. "I love chicken and any veggies with a miso vinaigrette."

If you follow Oliva on Instagram, you are well aware of her 20-minute Cardio Challenge. "That is basically 20 minutes of cardio at whatever speed you want. I've been doing it with my followers encouraging them to join the challenge and just do whatever feels right for 20 minutes," she explains, adding that she likes it because "it doesn't feel too overwhelming," and is an easy way to get moving. "Before you know it, it's over."

3. She Loves P.volve

Olivia is a big fan of P.volve, a low-impact workout that can be done anywhere. "The P.volve workout is great for me because I travel a lot," she told Shape. "There are 3-pound ankle weights, 2-pound free weights, and tons of elastic bands that you can use in different ways."

4. Her Go-To Snack? Nuts

"I'm obsessed with nuts," Olivia revealed to Women's Health. Her favorites are salted, as unseasoned ones are "too boring." When she needs a little extra boost, she will opt for nuts mixed with other goodies. "I need energy on set, so I like the raisins and the chocolate," she explained.

5. Consistency Is Key

"I've noticed it's very important to be consistent with workouts," Olivia told Shape. "I think it's really easy for people to go through phases where they're really intense with their workouts and then they kind of fall out of it." She aims to fit in a workout every day, even when she has a loaded agenda. "I try stay active as much as I can by doing low-impact, high-intensity workouts so that I'm consistent and I don't wake up one day and realize it's been two weeks and I haven't worked out."

Olivia Flowers, who debuted in the eighth season of Bravo’s reality series Southern Charm, showed off her own charm in a new Instagram post of herself in a bikini with the caption, “Stay close to people who feel like sunshine.” The native of Charleston, South Carolina, has broken out as a fan favorite on the show.

1. She Rides a Skateboard

Flowers posted an Instagram movie of her riding — and sometimes falling off — a skateboard. Beyond being fun, skateboarding relieves stress and improves mental health, according to a recent study by the University of Southern California.

2. She Drinks Red Wine

Flowers posted pics of her visits to California’s wine country in Napa, with the caption, “You had me at merlot… and Napa. Definitely had me at Napa. Beautiful time, wine, food & company.” Antioxidants in red wine called polyphenols may help protect the lining of blood vessels in the heart, according to the Mayo Clinic.

3. She’s Close to Her Family

Flowers appears to have a close relationship with her parents, Garry and Robin Flowers. Having a close relationship with family helps a person cope with stress, can increase longevity, improves psychological well-being and is good for cardiovascular health, according to the Piedmont health system.

4. She Avoids the Drama

When she joined the Southern Charm cast, Flowers relied on previous cast members to help her navigate the tensions among older members. “Leva [Bonaparte] helped me out a lot,” Flowers told Decider. “She was really like big sister, and told me to just stay true to myself and not like I said, let any other people’s opinions sway me — and that I should just take advantage of the fact that I’m not on anyone’s side. So, if I come in and something happens, I shouldn’t be afraid to speak up to what I think. But that was really it. Not to be afraid to speak up if need be.”

5. She Gets Lots of Sun

Flowers’ Instagram feed is full of images of her sunbathing or otherwise enjoying the outdoors. Sunlight is necessary to boost the body’s vitamin D supply, the National Library of Medicine reported. Most cases of vitamin D deficiency are due to lack of outdoor sun exposure, it said. But medical experts advise the use of adequate sunscreen or other UV protection and to limit the amount of sun exposure to avoid damaging skin.

2. Her Workout Sessions Are Intense

Olivia once said that she doesn’t do any ab workouts. “I just do really heavy compound lifts which work my entire torso,” she revealed in an Instagram Story Q&A. Her favorite area to train? “Back or quads,” she revealed. She loves doing bent over rows and squats. However, she recently shared a video of the ab workout she is doing to get ready for summer. “It’s time to cut for summer! I ended up doing 4 rounds x 30 seconds,” she captioned it.

3. She Doesn’t Do Cardio

Olivia switches up her routine every four weeks and shares her workouts on her LivFit app. The subscription includes a few 4-week programs, a nutrition guide, and new workouts weekly.

For some reason, I always liked to keep it to myself and didn't talk about it too much on here, but that is about to change! When I first started my fitness journey, I was coming off two ACL tears and just trying to build the muscle in my legs after having back-to-back surgeries. Now, I have been lifting for six years and have gained around 40lbs (my weight fluctuates) and put on tons of muscle!”

She revealed that she struggles with endometriosis, and has turned to holistic healing methods to help. “Right now, I'm trying to figure out new ways to heal holistically through what I'm eating and the rest that I'm giving myself. I'm also exploring acupuncture, massages, Chinese herbal medicine, and maybe cutting out caffeine. I'm going to actively try to help people who live with this and not just talk about my experience."

2. She Believes In The 80/20 Rule

When it comes to eating, Culpo believes in balance. She tells Shape that she still indulges from time to time, and uses a popular eating plan to do so. "My eating philosophy is the 80-20 rule,” she says. “80 percent of the time I'm super healthy, and 20 percent of the time I indulge.”

While Culpo still indulges, she doesn’t do so in a traditional way. She tells Shape that she likes to make a lot of her favorite indulgences. “I love to bake, and I love to cook. So typically when I indulge, it's not by going out somewhere.”

4. She Loves High Intensity Interval Training

Culpo also revealed some of her favorite workouts to Shape. “I also found high-intensity interval training to be the most fun and also the most effective for my body. I love the competitive angle of it too, making it a group situation with friends at classes like SoulCycle, where you can take in the energy of everyone else."

5. She Does Cardio For Her Abs

Culpo has amazing abs. However, you’d be surprised to hear that she doesn’t turn to crunches and traditional ab workouts to get them. “Cardio is a huge part of getting abs,” she revealed to HollywoodLife. “When I am running regularly, I can actually achieve abs comparable to when I am doing regular ab exercises.”
