Rachael Finch is sharing a “mix + match” lunch idea – in her workout clothes. In a new social media post the health and wellness influencer shows off her washboard abs in a crop top and leggings, while cooking up a healthy meal. In the post she reveals her strategy, which involves “loading with veg first,” adding “enough” quality protein, fats, and carbohydrates “that digest well in my body,” using leftovers, and how she can create the meal in 5 to 10 minutes. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
Rachael exercises daily. “I move my body every day! But every day is entirely different, there are no two weeks the same. On average throughout the week I will break up my fitness with cardiovascular training, strength training, flexibility and balance work, and yoga sessions,” she told Marie Claire.
Rachael does lots of different workouts. “My favorite types of exercise are anything from yoga to stretch sessions, dance workouts, HIIT sessions, walks in the parks, interval training. My least favorite is anything that lasts longer than 45 minutes, or is too intense.”
One of her go-tos? “I love my BodyTone workout from my program—the yoga-inspired sessions have the greatest impact. It’s a slower paced session and great for calming the mind first thing in the morning. This workout combines yoga and Pilates and works on flexibility, balance and total body strength,” she says.
Rachael also takes rest days. “I don’t count the number of days I am training, and I don’t count the days I rest. I purely go on how I feel and that may mean I have four lazy days out of a week, or may mean I have one lazy day, I may even train every day. It all depends on how my body and mind feel,” she says.
Rachael is a coffee drinker, but she infuses it with collagen. “There is not a day that goes by that I don’t have my collagen coffee! I mix one scoop of Kissed Earth Brilliance Collagen, one scoop of medicinal mushrooms, 1 teaspoon of Maca powder, plus almond milk and black coffee. I blend it all in a blender and drink it with a big smile on my face.”
