For La La, exercise is a near daily job. She works out with Kirk Meyers, founder of The Dogpound. “I come here almost every single day and Kirk, the owner, has become one of my closest friends and a real inspiration in my life for getting myself together and focusing on myself,” she exclaimed E! “I definitely have lost weight. I definitely feel better about myself, more toned, have more energy.” She also added to HollywoodLife that there is another workout she enjoys. “I love to box.”
La La “learned how necessary self-care is” during the pandemic she told Health in April 2021. “Once you start doing it, you realize that you have to find ways to recharge and rejuvenate—even if it’s just taking five minutes to meditate. I think wellness starts with mental health. You have to make sure you’re doing things that feed your soul. As women, we tend to neglect ourselves, and we really need to give ourselves the same love we give everyone else.”
While exercise is great, health starts with your diet, per La La. “With looking right, it’s mostly about your eating,” she told HollywoodLife. “And, I feel like a lot of us struggle with that. I’m trying to stay consistent in making better choices when it comes to food. I can’t say I’m always great at it, but I try to keep that in mind. You can’t work your a-s off in the gym and then just throw it all away by eating horrible.”
“I’m always staying hydrated,” La La told HollywoodLife. “For your body to function properly, you must replenish its water supply by consuming beverages and foods that contain water,” adds the Mayo Clinic. How much water do you need? The number varies according to age, activity level, food intake, and other factors, but the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine recommends an adequate daily fluid intake of 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day for men and 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids a day for women.
“My dad has always said that you have to love yourself from the inside. I used to be like, ‘Yeah, yeah, OK.’ But now I know it’s a really powerful statement. If you walk into a room with confidence, other people feed off that energy. That confidence starts from the inside, and people see it from the outside,” she told Health.
La La is all about workout buddies. While on a recent fitness challenge she started working out with a group, going on three mile runs together and mixing in strength training workouts. “In the beginning I could barely walk it. I thought I was going to need a wheelchair. Now I’m running more than half of it. It’s the best cardio ever,” she said.
