Charli exercises to keep herself in great shapes. She regularly trains with her sister, Dixie, and mother Heidi, with trainer-to-the-stars Ben Bruno. In a recent TikTok video, the family can be seen working out together, doing a variety of strength and weight training exercises. You can also train with her via the FitOn app.
Another way Charli stays in shape is by dancing. However, in a recent interview with People she confessed that she had lost her passion on the dance floor until she went on Dancing with the Stars. “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 said. “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,” Charli says. “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 loves Dunkin Donuts so much that she ended up teaming up with them. “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. And since then, we’ve come out with two of my own drinks on the menu and sold-out cold brew nationwide. It was a really big hit for me. And it was a really great feeling seeing all of that come together. It was definitely a lot of my determination to work with Dunkin Donuts,” she told Forbes.
In her early days of fame, Charli battled an eating disorder. She recently opened up about it on her reality show. “Whenever I first started TikTok … I was very unhealthy,” she says. “I would lose a bunch of weight, and then gain a bunch of weight, and then lose it, and my comments would switch up with that,” she said. She confessed that after binge sessions she would make herself sick and then starve herself. “It was really bad,” she said. “You could see it because I’m short, so when I put on weight people would be like, ‘Oh, you gained weight,’ and then they’re like, ‘Oh, she lost so much weight, she looks so good.'” At her thinnest, she was trolled for being “skin and bones.” “I let it get to me and I wish I didn’t,” she added.
“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.”
