One of Ellie’s favorite meals is soup. She tells Sports Illustrated Swimsuit that she’s loved it since she was young and her mother would cook for her. “It just became a very comforting thing to me, especially when [my] appetite feels a little off, a heavy meal [is just] a lot for me if I’m anxious. Soup has always just been like the easiest, coziest thing for me to make.”
She Does Pilates
Sports Illustrated Swimsuit shared this video on Instagram of some of Ellie’s wellness secrets. In it, she is seen doing reformer Pilates. The magazine captioned the post, “For @elliethumann hitting that reset button looks a little something like this!” According to Better Health, Pilates has a lot of benefits. “Pilates promotes mobility and strength of all the major muscle groups in the body in a balanced fashion, whilst also having a key focus on the deep core muscles. It improves posture, flexibility, strength, balance and body awareness.”
She Walks
Ellie is open about her love of walking. In the previous Instagram video, she is seen going on walks through the park and walks with her friends. While walking might not seem like a good form of exercise, The Cleveland Clinic says otherwise. “Walking is also one of the best exercises for losing weight — it’s relatively easy to do, easy on the joints, it’s free and you have to do it every day anyway. To start walking for fitness, try to begin with a 20-minute walk every day.”
She Takes Care Of Her Skin
Ellie has amazing skin, and shared some of her favorite products with New Beauty. “I love using the Lip Plumping Oil ($23) because it’s super easy to put on, you just throw it in your bag, and you don’t have to have a full face,” Ellie says. “The Multi-stick and then the Priming and Setting Mist ($27). On top of that, I love micellar water—that goes everywhere with me—and also Aquaphor. Those two are my favorite beauty products, I would say, and have been for quite some time.”
She Cooks
Ellie loves cooking a lot of her own meals. In the SI Swim Instagram video, she is seen making different dishes. Ellie also said in her SI Swim interview that she loves making big pots of soup to eat throughout the week. “It was so yummy and really, really easy to make,” she says. “I love this, too, because you can really prep it and have it for the week. I feel like especially when I’m anxious or just want to feel a little bit relaxed and at peace, soup always helps me with that.”
