1. A Good Balance of Protein, Calories, Fats, and Carbs

Rachel makes sure to get enough protein and calories in to support her goals, along with fats and carbs. "I use MWU Meal Guides and recipes as a base for planning my meals, and then apply little tweaks to suit my preferences - such as swapping ingredients or changing their amounts a little bit. Remember, so long as you are consistent with your targets overall - you can be flexible with your meals!” she told Move with Us.

Her calorie and macro split revolves around:

Calories: 1955

Carbs: 245g

Protein: 120g

Fat: 55g

2. Hydration

Rachel starts the day by hydrating. First thing in the morning she drinks 700m-1L of water. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

3. Coffee

Rachel also drinks coffee. Her order? Medium long black, one shot, dash of oat milk, 2 sweeteners. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

4. Here Is What She Eats in a Day

“For breakfast I love to put together Emma’s Turkey & Avocado Bagel recipe from the MWU App, plus 2x quick oat sachets with scoop of protein & raspberries,” she says. “As you can see, I love to eat big meals as this really helps to fill me up and keep me feeling satisfied, as opposed to constantly snacking throughout the day. My breakfast meal also acts as a pre-workout for me, so I like it to be hearty.” After working out she has a green juice and 2x packets of cobs natural popcorn straight after training. “For lunch, I love to make an Avocado & Prawn Bowl,” she says. For an afternoon snack she has 2 rice cakes topped with turkey breast and Black Swan Skinny Tzatziki. “For dinner, one of my go-to's is the delicious Honey Chicken Stir Fry,” she says. “As you can see from my day of delicious eating, nothing is off limits for me.” Overall she believes in an “80% whole foods and 20% soul foods approach, because food is more than just fuel. It’s there to nourish AND support us… and it’s also delicious,” she says.

1. 10x Plate Sit Ups
2. 10x Plate Leg Raises

Ricki-Lee is steaming up Cabo San Lucas – in her swimsuit. In one of her latest social media posts the New Zealand-born Australian singer shows off her swerving curves in a black bathing suit while vacationing at the ultra luxe Nobu Los Cabos resort. “Hola Mexico,” she captioned the Instagram snap, getting flooded with comments by her followers. “Jessica Rabbit!” wrote one. “Hourglass,” added another. How does the 37-year-old keep herself in such great shape? Celebwell has the answer.

1. She Works Hard for Her Body

Ricki-Lee works hard for her body. "I'm not one of those girls who is naturally thin and can eat whatever I want. I am consistent with the food I eat day in day out and I work my ass off in the gym ... literally!" she wrote on Instagram in 2015.

2. She Eats Clean

"I go through phases where I let go a little bit and relax my training and indulge in my guilty pleasures more than usual ... we all do!” Ricki-Lee wrote in the same post. "And I think it's good for the soul to do that. But for the most part, my life is routine. I eat the same clean foods every day.”

3. She Works Out

Ricki-Lee exercises almost every day. “I train hard 6 days a week,” she wrote in her post. Physical activity is anything that gets your body moving. Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.

4. She Plans Cheat Meals

Ricki-Lee also reveals that she indulges. “I plan my 'cheat meals' and work hard to earn them and I savour every mouthful! And then I'm sweating it off the next day in the gym," she wrote in the post.

5. Here Is What She Eats in a Day

Ricki-Lee revealed her daily diet in an Instagram Story. She starts with a banana and coffee with soy milk and sugar for breakfast. Lunch is a bowl filled with carrot, hummus, cherry tomatoes, pickled onions and a can of tuna, seasoned with tablespoons of homemade ginger sauce. Dinner options include peanut butter chicken in lettuce cups or with broccoli, a Mexican chicken salad bowl with guacamole and hot sauce, grilled fish with salad or green vegetables, and sesame soy garlic chicken with broccoli.

6. She Does Weight and Strength Training

“To keep it tight, up and perky you have got to put the work in,” Ricki-Lee says about why she does a combination of high intensity workouts, lifting weights and plenty of squats, squat jumps and lunges. “One of my favourite’s is a step-up into a reverse lunge,” she said. “I really enjoy watching my body change as I work with weights or if I do more cardio. I find it fascinating.”

7. Exercise Makes Her Feel “Strong, Alive, and Awake

“For me it’s just about how I feel and when I go for a run or when I do an awesome workout, I feel strong, alive and awake,” Ricki-Lee told News.com.au. “I feel like I can take on the whole world, that’s why I eat healthy and that’s why I workout — not for any other reason.”

Rachael Finch is sharing a “mix + match” lunch idea – in her workout clothes. In a new social media post the health and wellness influencer shows off her washboard abs in a crop top and leggings, while cooking up a healthy meal. In the post she reveals her strategy, which involves “loading with veg first,” adding “enough” quality protein, fats, and carbohydrates “that digest well in my body,” using leftovers, and how she can create the meal in 5 to 10 minutes. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Daily Exercise

Rachael exercises daily. “I move my body every day! But every day is entirely different, there are no two weeks the same. On average throughout the week I will break up my fitness with cardiovascular training, strength training, flexibility and balance work, and yoga sessions,” she told Marie Claire.

2. Mixing Up Workouts

Rachael does lots of different workouts. “My favorite types of exercise are anything from yoga to stretch sessions, dance workouts, HIIT sessions, walks in the parks, interval training. My least favorite is anything that lasts longer than 45 minutes, or is too intense.”

3. Yoga and Pilates

One of her go-tos? “I love my BodyTone workout from my program⁠—the yoga-inspired sessions have the greatest impact. It’s a slower paced session and great for calming the mind first thing in the morning. This workout combines yoga and Pilates and works on flexibility, balance and total body strength,” she says.

4. Training and “Lazy” Days

Rachael also takes rest days. “I don’t count the number of days I am training, and I don’t count the days I rest. I purely go on how I feel and that may mean I have four lazy days out of a week, or may mean I have one lazy day, I may even train every day. It all depends on how my body and mind feel,” she says.

5. Collagen Coffee

Rachael is a coffee drinker, but she infuses it with collagen. “There is not a day that goes by that I don’t have my collagen coffee! I mix one scoop of Kissed Earth Brilliance Collagen, one scoop of medicinal mushrooms, 1 teaspoon of Maca powder, plus almond milk and black coffee. I blend it all in a blender and drink it with a big smile on my face.”
