Marryse says choose weight lifting over cardio. “Women are sometimes afraid they’ll get bulky and big, but that’s not true,” she explained. “You’ll get curves and just be lean, very lean. That’s the trick. Doing cardio is not really going to help in that way,” she told E! News.
What is Maryse’s favorite workout method? “My favorite thing to do is HIIT workouts, or high interval intensity workouts. “I like to do that because I’m not really a cardio person. HITT is basically working your entire body, and it’s burning [calories] for about eight to 12 hours after you work out,” she told E! News. “A HITT workout is basically three to four complexes and a complex is about three exercises that you can do about three to four times with no rest. Your heart rate is always up and you’re lifting weights.”
Maryse focuses on maintaining a healthy diet. “Eating is 80 percent of everything,” she told E! News. “Working out for an hour is really easy, but the rest of the day is 23 hours and that’s the hardest part.”
Maryse also allows herself to cheat on occasion. “I love chocolate cake,” she told E! News. “I’m French. I also love cheese and bread, so I could just live on that.
Maryse approaches her diet with structure. While she may eat chocolate cake twice a week, her diet is mostly “high protein, low carbs and low fats.”
