Emily DiDonato, a highly successful model best known for her work with Sports Illustrated Swimsuit, is not just a fashion icon but also a fitness enthusiast who shares her wellness journey with her followers. Beyond modeling, Emily has a popular YouTube channel where she offers glimpses into her life, including her fitness routines and skincare tips. Recently, she shared some candid photos on her Instagram story, where she was seen in her home gym, dressed in black workout clothes, captioning one of the photos, “Sneaking in a quick one in while both kids are at camp for the first time together.” As a busy mom and professional, Emily finds creative ways to stay fit and healthy. Here’s a look at some of her favorite habits and routines that keep her feeling and looking her best.
DiDonato revealed in her WhoWhatWear interview that she makes a smoothie each morning. “I always look forward to my post-workout smoothie—it motivates me to get through a workout on those days that I’m just not feeling it. I use spinach, yogurt, organic oats, organic blueberries, 1/2 banana, collagen protein, and hemp hearts to get the perfect texture. This smoothie fills me up until lunch.”
DiDonato makes sure to take care of her skin. She shared some of her favorite products with WhoWhatWear. “I’ll use Covey Last But Not Least Moisturizer. It has a whipped-like texture, is hydrating and moisturizing, and looks amazing under makeup (or on its own). I always apply an SPF after, and I’ve been loving Supergoop Mineral Sheerscreen SPF 30 lately.”
In an interview with WhoWhatWear, DiDonato shared her morning routine. In it, she revealed that she loves to lift weights to stay in shape. “I’ve been keeping up with my virtual workouts, which I’m really proud of. I lift weights two times a week with my trainer, Daniela Brita (@daniela.wellness). I love a workout that feels challenging, which is why I love working with weights.”
DiDonato revealed in a YouTube video that she works with a trainer. “When I first started weight lifting, I used a trainer pretty often and that was super helpful because then I had this foundation of like what exercises and what moves to do, how to create a great workout, an effective workout, what your form should be … So even if you’re not someone who can have that in your life at all times, I do think it’s great to create kind of the foundation for your fitness and wellness lifestyle.”
In her YouTube video, DiDonato revealed that she did a three mile run. According to Better Health, running has a lot of benefits. “Regular running or jogging offers many health benefits. Running can: help to build strong bones, as it is a weight bearing exercise, strengthen muscles. improve cardiovascular fitness, burn plenty of kilojoules, help maintain a healthy weight.”
