1

She Doesn’t Deprive Herself

Gina shared some of her diet and exercise secrets in an interview with Health Magazine, via People Magazine. When it comes to her diet, she does eat healthy, but isn’t super concerned about cutting things out. “I work out so I can feel good. Sometimes I hit it hard; sometimes it’s just about getting it in. But food? I love food. I like all the no-nos.”

She Loves Spa Days

In addition to her physical health, Gina also takes care of her mental health. “I’m not about a spa day,” she said to Health Magazine, as reported by People. “God bless all the people that have given me spa gift certificates because they’re stacked in my office drawer. I love a staycation. I like the quiet and being with my own thoughts and watching a movie and recharging. It’s good for your mental health to leave the world out there for a minute and just keep quiet.”

She Watches Her Cholesterol

One of Gina’s biggest health secrets is watching her cholesterol. In an interview with First For Women, she encouraged others to do the same. “It is so important to get yourself checked, to get to know what your numbers are, to make sure that your LDL cholesterol levels are not out of control. The sooner you have that information, the faster you can make changes.”

She’s Motivated To Workout

Gina makes sure to keep herself motivated to workout. She shared what exactly motivates her in her Health Magazine interview, via People. “With working out, it’s about strength,” she explains. “Being able to run up the stairs and just feeling like I can get myself out of a situation. I always want to come from a place of power, and of knowing my body. The fringe benefit of that is that I look great in some clothes … and am fit for life.”

She Uses This Highlighter On Her Face

Earlier this year, Gina appeared in a Super Bowl commercial for ELF cosmetics. Naturally, she uses a lot of the products to make herself look good. One of her favorites is the foundation-highlighter hybrid. “It’s so great because it creates these points of light on the planes of your face,” Gina says to Marie Claire. “The glow factor is so beautiful because it refracts in such a lovely and flattering way that maximizes dimension.”
