Caroline Ruud is reminding her followers to embrace their changing bodies – in her two piece workout gear. In a new social media post the online fitness coach and sister of tennis star Casper Ruud shares a self-love PSA to all her followers. “A little reminder that your body (especially the woman’s body) is not meant to look the same and weigh the same your entire life,” she captioned the post, which included images of her changing physique over the years. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
In a recent post, Caroline reminded her followers that eating the right foods and enough of them are crucial for weight loss. She notes that there are three things to look out for. If you are experiencing “constant fatigue and low energy levels,” it “may be a sign that you are not consuming enough calories to support your body’s needs and maintain energy throughout the day,” she says. If you are “overeating and small eating late in the day” it “may be a sign that you haven’t eaten too much during the day. This overeating can be the body’s way of compensating for the low calorie intake earlier in the day,” she says. Or, if you are noticing “changes in mood or difficulties in concentration,” your calorie intake may be too low. “If you’re reading this and you can relate, it’s time to take control of your eating habits and make sure your body is getting the nutrition it needs. Food is not the enemy!” she says.
Caroline strength trains and recently revealed “3 tips for girls who want to start.” First, she suggests following a workout program. Next, “Track your workouts and use a workout journal,” she writes. Finally, “Remember that rest and rest won’t ruin your progression.” 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
In addition to strength training, Caroline goes for lots of runs. Running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss, explains Mayo Clinic. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.
Caroline understands the importance of Hydration. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.
Caroline enjoys playing tennis. According to ACE Fitness it blends together cardio and aerobic exercise, as there is a lot of running around, and hand-eye coordination. “While tennis provides numerous health benefits—improved aerobic fitness and anaerobic endurance, muscular fitness (grip strength and endurance), flexibility, multiple skill parameters (balance, speed, agility and quickness), reactivity, and power—it also is psychologically demanding,” they say.
