Charli D’Amelio is returning to her dancing roots – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the influencer and TikTok alum shows off her incredible body and her impressive dance moves while getting a workout in. “felt good to be back (i am so sore today it’s insane)” she captioned the Instagram video. “back where to where it all started,” one of her followers commented. “i’m so proud of you charli,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
Charli shot to fame as a TikTok dancer. “You know, dance wasn’t something that I found fun anymore. It was something that was more just, I did to do it and, you know, it was over when it was over and I didn’t look forward to it anymore. And I think with Dancing With the Stars every week, it’s like, you know, I’m hearing from other people that I finally look like I’m having fun,” she told People about how the show brought her back to her roots. “I look happy and I’m feeling, kind of, those same things that I used to feel when I was younger, dancing, that I kind of lost and thought that I wouldn’t find again,” she said. “Just because it had been so long without being that excited for performance. To be able to do that again is really a full circle moment for me and just makes me really happy.”
Charli works out with Ben Bruno, trainer-to-the-stars, with her sister, Dixie, and mother Heidi. Their workouts consist mostly of strength and weight training. 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
Charli has a go-to cheat meal: Dunkin Donuts. She even ended up partnering with the brand. “The Dunkin Donuts collaboration came about after a lot of free promotion. For a while, everyone thought I was getting paid. But I was not. I just shamelessly promoted and promoted because I really wanted to work with them. And then they finally gave me the opportunity and I immediately took it,” she told Forbes.
Charli is such a coffee fan, she has “two of my own drinks on the menu and sold-out cold brew nationwide” at Dunkin,” she told Forbes. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.
Charli uses her platform to raise awareness about her issues. “It’s extremely hard to go from having a very unhealthy mindset with food to a healthy one, especially when you’ve dealt with it alone for so long,” she added, revealing that she ended up meeting other influencers and having an open discussion about it all. “At least now I have friends that I can talk to and that made me work so much harder to get a healthy relationship with food again.”
