Working Out for Her Body and Mind

Olivia maintains that her “bomb by all means” workout routine is essential for her body and mind. “For me, working out is not only good for my body, but also good for my brain,” she told Sports Illustrated. “For me, working out is an hour of time for myself and an opportunity to step away from my phone,” she adds. “A hard workout provides me an escape for one hour during my day, where I can let my mind be free of social media.”
Strength Training

Olivia strength trains at the celebrity gym Dogpound, “a very safe space where I always feel at home. I absolutely love it there; the team of trainers are so nice, but when training they definitely kick my bum!” she told Sports Illustrated. “When I work out in the gym, I like to focus mainly on abs, arms and back. I have been training those muscles the most because I personally love seeing women that have good upper body strength. Kirk, my trainer, has me do variations of curl-ups and sit-ups for around 30 minutes. Then the other 30 we have a mixture of weights and machines for the arms, back and legs.”
Protein

Olivia prioritizes protein. “I drink protein drinks 2-3 times a week after my workouts. I personally believe they help a lot with getting my muscles toned,” she told Sports Illustrated. Research has found that consuming more protein than the recommended dietary allowance not only reduces body weight (BW), but also enhances body composition by decreasing fat mass while preserving fat-free mass (FFM) in both low-calorie and standard-calorie diets.
Fruit Satiates Her Sweet Tooth

Olivia eats “a lot of fruit throughout the week,” she says. “Fruit has so many good sugars and hydration components in them. Acai bowls are a super smart way to get in tons of fruit at once. In Açaí bowls you can add peanut butter and all types of nuts/seeds to make it even more beneficial.”

In her latest post, Olivia reveals that one of her favorite ways to indulge in self-care is. One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years compared with people who weren’t readers or who read periodicals.
