Olympian Alicia Schmidt in Bikini Enjoys “Island Life”

Alicia Schmidt is living her best life in her bikini. In a new social media post, the Olympian runner shows off her famous figure while vacationing in Thailand and drinking out of a coconut while clad in a swimsuit. “Album: 19th august 🌊 🌴#thailand #islandlife #offseason,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. “Unreal,” commented a follower. “Beautiful,” added another. How does the athlete approach health and wellness? Here are her top diet and fitness habits.

Alicia is a sprinter. While you don’t have to put in as many miles as Alicia, the Mayo Clinic explains that running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

Alicia strength trains hard at the gym to keep her body strong and ready to race. She regularly shares clips of her workouts. Some of the exercises she focuses on? Battle ropes, kettlebell exercises, working out with a medicine ball, and lifting weights.

Alica drinks pre-workout shakes prior to exercising. “I always need a good booster before a workout to reach my limits,” she explained in this Instagram image. Her shake-of-choice, Energy Aminos from Foodspring has caffeine, piperine, plant-based BCAAs, and vitamins C, B3 and B12.

Alica eats very healthily most of the time, but allows herself to indulge in some of her favorite foods. One of her go-to cuisines? Japanese. She once celebrated her birthday with “a loooot of sushi.” She also loves Italian food. “My go-to food: spaghetti,” she revealed in a post. “I always have Italian pasta in my cupboard. At least 3x a week I prepare myself spaghetti in different variations. Gladly before a workout, but also often afterwards to replenish my stores. It’s a great dish, goes fast (because often I don’t have much time🙈) and tastes fabulous even with few ingredients. In the reel I prepare my favorite recipe for you. Quick, super tasty, healthy and easy.”

Alicia stays active even while off the track. A few of her favorite activities include swimming, bodyboarding, swimming, and skiing. She regularly shares photos of herself having fun and burning calories. In fact, in her latest TikTok, she goes kayaking in Thailand!

Alicia allows herself time to rest. “Not gonna lie, I’m not satisfied with my races this year. I’ve worked harder than ever before day in day out pushed my limits in every workout and made so many sacrifices. It was not an easy year with my Covid Infection and torn ligaments but nevertheless, I know what I am capable of and I’m hungry for more,” she wrote in August 2021, after not being able to compete in the Tokyo Olympics. “Now, I’m going to take a break and I’m looking forward to coming back feeling fresh and ready to train hard again.”
