Toni Breidinger is hitting the gym – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the NASCAR driver shows off her amazing body in a two-piece exercise set while taking a workout break. “Hi,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
Positive Mindset
What keeps her motivated? “I am very ambitious and stubborn so I feel like I naturally keep myself motivated to reach my goals, but I also have my bad days where motivation is just a struggle. I’m lucky because the people I surround myself with are always there to lift me up and keep me on a positive mindset,” she says.
Vegan Diet
ShutterstockShe also adheres to a strict diet. Her method of choice? Eating vegan, which means no animal products or meat whatsoever.
Fitness Apps
ShuttestockToni also relies on fitness apps. “I’ve used MyFitnessPal to track macros, which was helpful when I started to get serious about my nutrition. I also use MapMyRun to record all my runs so I can keep track of those as well. It’s so handy to be able to keep track of all my health goals easily all in my phone,” she told The Modems.
Training Her Body To Drive
Toni's workouts focus on getting her body ready to drive. “I know a lot of people think you’re kind of just sitting and turning a steering wheel but it really takes a lot more than that. A lot of people think it might just be arms, but I have my legs get tired in a race,” she says. “Honestly, it’s like an entire body workout that you have to prepare for, even though it doesn’t really seem like it. I find myself getting tired in all areas of my body.”
Strength Training
Breidinger maintains a strict exercise regimen, working out one one to two times a day doing strength training with a personal trainer, she told Flaunt. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:
- Develop strong bones
- Manage your weight
- Enhance your quality of life
- Manage chronic conditions
- Sharpen your thinking skills
