Cat Meffan is doing a full body reset workout – in her exercise gear. In a new social media post the yoga influencer shows off her amazing body during a 30-minute yoga stretch workout video wearing a two-piece exercise set. She shared the workout via YouTube. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
Doing Workouts She Loves
Cat explained to Get the Gloss that it’s important to stick to fitness you enjoy. “I’m all about having a manageable lifestyle that I enjoy. The enjoyment part is so important, as that’s what makes you want to keep doing it. I think everyone can enjoy fitness, they just need to find what they love,” she said.
Balanced Diet
“With regards to nutrition I have a very balanced diet – I eat very healthily Monday – Saturday (sometimes with the odd treat) and then I have Sunday as my day off. I’m really getting into my cooking now, so even my day off is made up of healthy treats that I’ve made – but sometimes it includes a burger and milkshake! If I really want something I don’t stop myself, I’ve just got into the habit of not craving sugary foods too much,” she says.
Making Fitness A Priority
Fitness is “a huge priority” in her life. “I love it! I grew up doing gymnastics and ballet and then when I went to secondary school, P.E. was pretty much the only reason I attended. Fitness has been part of my life for as long as I remember – I love that rush of endorphins I get after a workout and I love challenging my body to move in new ways. That’s why yoga is such a big part of my fitness, because I can lend my gymnastics and dance skills to it and constantly learn new ways to work my mind and body. I’m constantly trying new moves to add to my workouts,” Get the Gloss.
Running
Cardio Doesn't Always Cut ItShutterstockCat recently ran a marathon. “I’m not the greatest runner and sadly can’t say I’ve ever run a marathon, but from someone who once couldn’t run more than half a mile, but can now run a 10k (JUST!), I’d say don’t just focus on the running – take time to practise yoga to stretch out your body and minimise the risk of injury. Also, find a time of day that works for you; If I run in the morning I enjoy it so much more than I do if I go in the evening,” she writes.
Intense 30 Minute Workout
Cat does short but intense workouts. “I tend to do intense 30 minute workouts, rather than pottering around a gym for 90 minutes, which saves time,” she says. “I love working up a sweat, so this kind of workout is great for me. I know that if I’m not active I tend to get grouchy, as I like having that release. The best way to fit it all in is to plan your workouts for the week in advance, in the same way you would your social life. If I know on Sunday night that I’ve got an hour free on Thursday, then I know I can book in yoga and have no excuse for not doing it.”
