Anais Zanotti is revealing her go-to routine – in her workout clothes. In a new social media post the health coach shows off her fit figure in a two-piece exercise set while unveiling an efficient workout. “Home VS GYM Glutes and legs 💪🏽,” she wrote in the Instagram caption. “So many of you guys are going on vacation, does not mean you can’t keep your routine in place. I always bring my bands with me wherever I go. Nothing fancy, just some superbands from Amazon.” She also went on to reveal the workout. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care and what exercises are involved in her workout? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
In one of her Instagram posts, Anais reveals that she didn’t always take the right approach to weight loss. “At 26 years old, I was trying to get smaller and thinner, and it was always a battle for me. I was struggling to get toned and was always feeling tired, no energy, weight in the middle, muffin top.Clothes did not fit as good,” she writes, explaining everything she “was doing wrong.” It included working out 6x per week, “long hours of cardio, nonsense workout classes and when I was weight lifting I had no structure in place. Pretty much winging it,” she writes. Her nutrition was also “very poor, from pre-made frozen meals,” and involved skipping breakfast, low carbs, juicing, magic slim shakes, 1200 calorie diets, drinking often during the week, and “poor sleep, high stress due to work.”
“But now, 42 years old In Perimenopause,” she changed her approach. “Focusing on getting strong, not thriving to be skinny or a number on the scale,” is important to her. She also works out four times a week, “45min max, my cardio is walking essentially and getting above 10k steps per day.”⠀
She also reset her metabolism “by adding on more muscles and balanced meals,” never skips breakfast, focuses on” eating a protein source for each big meal” and eating “whole food plant based nutrition” with “very little processed food,” and eats “around 2200cal/day,” she says, “to be able to maintain my figure, retain my muscles.”
Rest and recovery is also key. “Focusing on getting my 8 hours of sleep, some days it’s harder than others,” she says. Also, she manages stress “with exercises, walking and meditation.” And, lastly, she takes care of herself. “My self care is a priority,” she writes.
Here is her “quick & effective routine,” she says. She recommends doing 4 sets of each:
- Glute bridges with loop bands 15x (not on the video)⠀
- RDL 15x⠀
- Glutes Kick backs 15x⠀
- Reverse Lunges 15x each ⠀
- Sumo Squat 15x⠀
