Sophie van Oostenbrugge is dishing on her diet – in her workout gear. In a new social media post teh fitness influencer flaunts her amazing figure wearing a two-piece exercise set in a mirror selfie while showing images of what she eats in a day. “Looks so good girl,” commented one of her followers. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
Sophie talked cardio in a YouTube video. “I always make sure to do at least two cardio sessions a week just to build my cardiovascular health. So this is regardless of whether I am trying to lose weight, whether I am maintaining or whether I am gaining weight. And then if I try to lose weight, then I slowly increase my cardio from there,” she says.
Sophie focuses on plant-based eating. “I have been a vegetarian before,” she says. “I’m all for trying different diets, seeing how your body responds to it and seeing how it makes you feel.” She buys “some kind of plant-based meat replacer,” canned beans, fat sources like nuts (“an easy snack”), avocado, bananas, frozen berries for smoothies and shakes, and “a lot” of vegetables “as you can never have enough vegetables,” she says. Hummus, sweet potatoes, oats, reduced sugar ketchup, peanut butter, and 90 percent dark chocolate are also on her shopping list.
If you want glutes like Sophie, you are going to have to work for them. “I train my legs two to three times a week currently in my current split, but not every session is equally aimed at targeting my glutes. But I train legs two to three times a week,” she reveals.
Sophie’s favorite exercise is the deadlift, “just because it is the most, like the best exercise ever,” she says. “You just feel so strong when you are performing it. You’re targeting your legs, your hamstrings, your glutes, your lower back. It trains your grip strength. I just love the dead lift, so I have to go with deadlift.”
Sophie is “not always motivated,” so she has a tactic. “I just rely on discipline. I know what I need to do in order to get towards my goals. I also know that if I stick to my work routine, if I stick to my diet, then I will feel much, much better afterwards. So that is the reason why I try to stick to it as good as I can. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t have days or I don’t go to the gym. It doesn’t mean that I don’t have days that I don’t stick to my diet,” she says.
