In an interview with ELLE, Strijd shared her favorite workouts. She says that she does a lot of running type of workouts. “What I always fit in my workout schedule is running, incline walks and stairs.

3. She Stays Motivated

Strijd makes sure to stay motivated to workout. She shared where it comes from for her in an interview with Women’s Health. “My motivation is about how I want to feel. I want to make myself feel good from the inside out. Working out gives me energy and I think that’s the most important part. Even when I’m tired, if I make myself go to the gym, I always feel better about myself.”

4. She Eats Healthy

Strijd eats healthy, and shared her diet secrets in an interview with HollywoodLife. “Breakfast is toast with avocado and an egg then I’ll probably have a snack around 11, like a nice piece of fruit. Lunch is mostly a good carb, like brown rice with chicken or salmon and some vegetables and then I’ll have a juice in the afternoon. At dinnertime, I’ll make a big salad or pasta — Anything I feel like!”

5. She Believes In Balance

For Strijd, her approach to fitness means having balance. She talked about this in her HollywoodLife interview. “I’m trying to be in the best shape all year round — it’s easier. It’s about balance so I don’t feel like going super hard at one super moment. I also drink a lot of water because it just helps you to get everything going and move every day — even if it’s a walk.”

Ludovica Pagani is an extremely successful journalist. She makes sure to stay in shape. A few weeks ago, she hit the gym with her friend. The pair shared their workouts on Instagram, doing a lot of ab exercises. Pagani captioned the post, “Girls abs.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Ludovica Pagani stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Works Out With A Friend

As you can see from her Instagram post, Pagani likes to work out with someone else. Better Health states that having a friend work out with you has benefits. “You’re less likely to get bored when you have a workout buddy, especially a friend. While you’re catching up, having a laugh, encouraging each other, you’re also getting healthier. It’s a win-win. Chatting to a friend during exercise and breaks can help time pass quickly too. You’ll have more options as well, such as a game of tennis or squash.”

2. She Strength Trains

In her Instagram video, Pagani is seen doing exercises with weights. The Mayo Clinic states that using weights has a lot of benefits. “Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories. Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age.”

3. She Does Planks

In her Instagram video, Pagani is seen doing plank twists. Planks are a great exercise. ACE Fitness reports, “The core consists of the muscles that stabilize and support your spine, and includes the muscles of the back and the abdominal region. Developing a strong core is important because these muscles support the entire body, in both exercise and activities of daily living. The plank, in particular, is effective because it targets the core as a whole and engages multiple additional muscle groups. It also can be performed anywhere without additional equipment, and is modifiable to varying fitness levels.”

4. She Does Russian Twists

In her Instagram video, Pagani does Russian twists. Gymless states that these have a lot of benefits. “Russian Twists are a great exercise that develops all parts of your core, especially the obliques, it also targets the shoulders and hips. This exercise involves rotating your torso from side-to-side while maintaining a sit up position with your feet off the ground. This rotational movement often occurs in sports, which makes it a popular exercise amongst athletes. The primary muscles worked are the obliques and rectus abdominis. The secondary muscles worked are the hip flexors, erector spinae, scapulars and the latissimus dorsi.”

5. She Does Sit-Ups

In her Instagram video, Pagani is seen doing sit-ups. According to The Cleveland Clinic, these have a lot of benefits. “Sit ups are great for tightening your core. They strengthen and tone your rectus abdominus, transverse abdominus and oblique abdominal muscles as well as your neck muscles. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends three sets of 8 to 12 repetitions three times per week.”

Brussels sprouts and butternut roasted in the oven, paired with chicken and hummus is my favorite! I’ll also make sure to bring healthy snacks or make a lunch/dinner box if I am getting on a plane. I’m not a huge fan of airline food.”

Strijd revealed some of her diet and exercise secrets to HollywoodLife. One of her main goals is to be consistent. “I’m trying to be in the best shape all year round,” she says. “It’s easier. It’s about balance, so I don’t feel like going super hard at one super moment.” "Forget past memories of gym class and focus on how well you’ll tone your body with push-ups, crunches, squats, lunges and leg lifts," says the Cleveland Clinic. "This is the least expensive way to exercise. All you need are comfy workout clothes. You can lie on a clean towel or purchase a yoga mat for as little as $7 in stores."

One of Strijd’s biggest wellness secrets is staying hydrated. “I also drink a lot of water because it just helps you to get everything going and move every day,” she explains to HollywoodLife. “Even if it’s a walk.” "Experts recommend drinking roughly 11 cups of water per day for the average woman and 16 for men. And not all of those cups have to come from plain water; for example, some can come from water flavored with fruit or vegetables (lemons, berries, or orange or cucumber slices), or from coffee or tea," says Harvard Health.

3. She Does Yoga

When Strijd is prepping for a big job, she says that she focuses on exercise rather than diet. “I don’t really cut out any food,” she revealed to HollywoodLife. “I workout more often so I really need food to build some muscle.
