Tammy Hembrow is working out with her sister! In a new social media post the influencer flaunts her incredibly fit figure in a belly-baring workout outfit while training with Ava Olympia Thynne. “Tag your workout bestie 🤍 mine is always one of my sisters. I swear working out with a partner is just ✨better.✨ We’re both doing @tammyfitapp 6 week challenge at the moment & feeling gooooood,” she captioned the Instagram video. How does the influencer approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
1. Meditation
Tammy gets her zen on. “Meditating really changed my life when I first really discovered its power,” she wrote in a 2021 Instagram post. “One of the first times I tried it I got into a deep meditation & had a full out of body experience completely disconnected from my physical being and there was really no looking back from there. I decided then I would dedicate my life to becoming the healthiest happiest version of myself. Meditating for even just 10 minutes a day can help relieve stress, calm your mind & clear it of negative thoughts, and help you really focus on the present 🍃 There’s no doubt in my mind meditation has helped me not just in daily life but even in my businesses & creativity.” She isn’t wrong. “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:
- Gaining a new perspective on stressful situations
- Building skills to manage your stress
- Increasing self-awareness
- Focusing on the present
- Reducing negative emotions
- Increasing imagination and creativity
- Increasing patience and tolerance
- Lowering resting heart rate
- Lowering resting blood pressure
- Improving sleep quality
2. Regular Exercise
“I used to work out a lot more before having my kids but currently, I work out 3-4 times a week,” Tammy told Women’s Best. “I find this is enough for me right now because I’ve been working out consistently for years and I know my body and when to increase or decrease my calories to help with my goals.” What motivates her to exercise isn’t just her body. “I honestly feel better when I get my workout in, less sluggish and I find it easier to keep up with my kids,” she told New Idea about one of her motivations to sweat. “I honestly feel better when I get my workout in, less sluggish and I find it easier to keep up with my kids. Whether it’s a gym workout or HIIT home workout I always try to fit it in when I can.”
3. Clean Eating
“For me lean protein like chicken breast, turkey and fish, really helps, but I find that with trying to build my booty I wasn’t consuming the amount of protein I needed so supplements like protein shakes helped too,” Tammy told New Idea about her diet. “I needed to eat lots to build that area so I also ate lots of complex carbohydrates like brown rice, oatmeal, potatoes and healthy fats.” For breakfast she usually eats oatmeal, infused with protein powder. Then, post workout, a protein shake, “and love to eat fish, chicken, turkey, beans and vegetables,” she adds. “I’ve been trying to cut back on meat lately which I have found difficult. I usually end my day with oats and protein again. Boring I know!” She eats small, frequent meals. “I eat every two to three hours,” she told New Idea.
4. Changing Her Diet Up
Tammy adapts her diet to her goals. “I don’t like to limit myself too much if I’m working towards a specific goal. For example, if I want to reduce my weight, I will choose to switch to a weight loss meal plan which involves eating fewer calories. Lucky, I have low and high-calorie plans in my App Tammy Fit so I usually follow the recipes in there and switch between regular, vegetarian and sometimes vegan,” she told Women’s Best.
5. Cheat Meals
While she eats clean most of the time, Tammy allows herself cheat meals, “and they’re usually on the weekend,” she confessed to Women’s Best. “My favorite cheat meal right now is spicy chicken wings.”
