Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Kate Upton doesn’t believe in two common diet and exercise habits to maintain a healthy lifestyle, but she revealed that she does stick to some basic rules to stay in swimsuit model shape.
Swimsuit Model Doesn’t Believe In Some Exercise And Diet Habits
Kate Upton, 32, said earlier this year that the two things she’ll never do to stay in shape are counting calories or following the latest fad diet.
She revealed two things she’ll never do to stay in shape. The swimsuit model, mom to a daughter, and wife of MLB star pitcher Justin Verlander said that for her, what goes into her body is what her body gives back. It’s not just about counting calories.
As for exercise, she also doesn’t follow trends but rather tries to focus on simple but consistent activities. Upton has been on the cover of Sports Illustrated four times since making her debut in 2011 and on the flip cover of the issue once.
She appears on the cover of this year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue and her routines have clearly worked for her.
What Swimsuit Model Kate Upton Does To Stay In Shape
To feel her best, Kate Upton relies on “premium fuel” and “high-end ingredients.” Food is fuel, she said, so what you put into your body is what you’ll get back. Upton said it’s not just about counting calories; you need to understand what you’re putting in your body.
Vegetables are a big part of Upton’s diet. She always tries to eat organic and likes lean protein. She said your body tells you what it needs after detoxing from refined sugar and preservatives.
At the gym, staying consistent is key and Upton makes exercise part of her lifestyle. Her workout consists of weight-based workouts, walking her dogs, and she keeps moving rather than killing herself.
She also said that when you’re trying to get fit, mental health is a big part of it and small things can be big motivators.
The reasons behind diet and exercise are important too. If it’s just to see a particular number on the scale or fit into a certain size, it’s a short-term plan.
But if you have a bigger reason in your life, such as to feel stronger, have more energy, let out some frustration, or set a good example for your child, it’s easier to make it part of your life and lifestyle.
On mental health, Upton suggests that anyone looking to change their lifestyle should figure out why they want to get healthy and look at their mental health first.
