Agdal revealed some of her approaches to fitness to Forbes. She says that she tried a lot of different things to find what she liked best. “I started going to the gym but I didn’t enjoy it. It was only when I moved to New York that I really started getting into that world. The options are endless in New York. You can try a new class every day and still not be able to try them all. I eventually found my favorites and started working with private trainers.”
Agdal tells Forbes that she enjoys fitness. However, she says that she struggled to do so in the past. Agdal says that she decided to find what she enjoyed about exercise, and focused on it. “There was a time in the past four years that I went through a phase of being extreme with my workouts. Instead of it being something that I enjoyed, it turned into an unhealthy relationship. I took a break from fitness and had to figure out what I enjoyed about it in the first place. I needed to find the passion and happiness I had when I was a kid dancing. That’s how The Agdal Method came to life, I picked all of the things that made me feel good and put them into my own routine. It really all came from me just loving to be active.”
Agdal tells Forbes that she sometimes fasts to stay healthy. “I don’t like the term intermittent fasting. I think it can be very restricting but I do think there is something to be said about fasting in general. I think it’s a great way to reset your body and give your digestive system a break. For me personally, and I can only speak to how I’ve felt, I’ve had way more energy by fasting.”
Agdal tells Forbes that she makes small wellness goals that are easy to achieve. “It’s about the little things, making the tiniest promises to yourself that you can actually keep. Try drinking more water, limiting your screen time a tiny bit. You don’t want to set these big goals and not achieve them. It’s also important not to think about numbers, it’s not about how much weight you’re losing or what size your pants are. Numbers are so irrelevant for your happiness, I cannot express that enough.”
Agdal makes sure to eat healthy. She still makes sure to do so when she’s traveling. She tells Coveteur that she likes to bring healthy snacks when she’s on the road. “Traveling is hard, but I always bring my own snacks with me, especially on long flights. I usually have Quest Bars, Gladiator Cookies, and kale chips from Juice Press—that way if I’m bored or get hungry, I have something to snack on. If you’re traveling it can be hard to find the energy to work out, so I try to remind myself how good I’ll feel after I do it, which is good motivation for me.”
