“My fitness regimen is very simple,” she told Opening Doorz. The beauty does a mix of functional training, yoga and Pilates. Her Instagram feed and Stories are filled with photos and videos from her workout sessions. “It’s important to make sure your muscles are warmed up before you begin your yoga routine. Never force your body into a posture or try to go beyond your limits—you could strain your muscles. Using the correct form is also key to getting the most out of your yoga experience, so get into a class that’s right for you (whether you’re a beginner or an expert). And, don’t be afraid to ask your teacher for help! Learning the correct way to do each pose is important for overall mind and body development,” says the CDC.
Kim maintains that regular exercise is her secret to a great physique. “I work out six days a week, for an hour a day, and I try to never miss my workout. That’s the key to ensuring a healthy discipline in your life,” she told the publication.
“I eat a healthy balanced diet,” she told Opening Doorz. “I usually try to stay away from carbs at night, but if that doesn’t happen, I don’t kill myself over it.” What does she eat in a day? “I have porridge in the morning, along with eggs. If I feel I need that extra boost, I take my supplements—vitamin b, d3, calcium.” For lunch she will eat dal, sabzi, roti, dahi, followed by a dinner of soup, salad, broccoli rice, “and if I’m really craving it, a piece of fish,” she revealed. “During the day I have some dark chocolate or nuts along with some fruits. One cappuccino in a day is a must for me along with almond milk.” She also maintains “it’s best to have small meals at regular intervals.”
Kim maintains that she eats very little meat. “I’m basically a vegetarian, and dairy-free. I also try to stay away from meat,” she told Opening Doorz. “The key to a healthy vegetarian diet, as with all diets, is to include a variety of foods. No single food can provide all the nutrients your body needs. It’s especially important for older adults to be aware of their nutritional needs, since aging can increase the risk of nutritional deficiencies. Talk with your doctor or a registered dietitian about developing a healthy vegetarian eating plan that meets your needs,” says the Mayo Clinic.
Kim is a big proponent of hydration. “I have at least 16 glasses of water a day, and I cannot stress this enough: Water, water, water, water…” she told Opening Doors. “So how much fluid does the average, healthy adult living in a temperate climate need? The U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine determined that an adequate daily fluid intake is:
- About 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day for men
- About 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids a day for women,” says the Mayo Clinic.
“I don’t do meditation because I find it difficult, but I do a pranayam class with my instructor,” Kim told Opening Doorz. “We do the class in the evening, thrice a week. It’s basically breath- based and it’s beautiful. We do some chanting, some prayers. I also irregularly go to Church. Just sitting there fills me with peace and calm. It’s such an amazing cool, calm space. Reading, listening to music and sometimes just being alone and not looking at the phone rejuvenates me. Sitting outside on my terrace, just looking at a plant or playing with Mr Bones is my biggest stress buster. Having said that, I’d say the most important thing in terms of de-stress would be your breath—focus on it!”
