How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle tips.
1. Work Up a Sweat
Dixie recommends regular exercise. “Even though I would love to work out every day and be in the best shape of my life, I don't always have the time,” she told People. Dixie, Charli, and mother Heidi all work out together with trainer-to-the-stars Ben Bruno.
2. Do Breathing and Meditation
“Breathing” exercises help Dixie relax. "I need to breathe, and breathing has really helped me a lot with everything I've done. For a long time, I thought it was kind of silly and a waste of time, but now it's a huge part of my life," she told People. She is a fan of the app Breathwrk. “I love using it to help control my breathing when I’m in a really anxious moment,” she said. “When you meditate, you may clear away the information overload that builds up every day and contributes to your stress,” says the Mayo Clinic. Benefits include:

Dixie is a big mental health advocate. “Being able to focus on my mental health and feel better that way, I've seen such a huge change in my life and just how I am as a person,” she told People.
4. Dance
Dixie and her sister became famous for dancing on TikTok. Why is it a great workout? It helps build strength and promote flexibility, but aerobic exercise helps you lose weight and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.
5. Go for a Bike Ride
Dixie also bikes a great low-impact aerobic exercise that is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance, according to Cleveland Clinic. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis. In a recent post she showed off her cycling moves.
