Sommer Ray is one of the most successful fitness models of all time. She shares a lot of workout secrets on social media and her website. Ray also has her own skincare line, IMARAÏS. Ray recently hit the gym, and made sure to look cute doing so. She shared a photo on her Instagram story of herself in a brown top and gray pants. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Sommer Ray stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.
Ray shared some of her diet secrets in this post on her blog. In it, she revealed that while she tries to eat healthy, she also doesn’t deny herself. “On the weekends, and on some weekdays, too, I also like to have a drink — typically, tequila — and whatever else I’m craving. If I want a slice of pizza, I have a slice of pizza. I want to look good, but I also want to enjoy life.
For Ray, protein plays a big role in her diet. “I try to eat 70 grams of protein a day to maintain my glute muscle mass by starting most mornings with a protein shake, my first of six small meals throughout the day,” she wrote on her blog post. “Sometimes, I’ll prepare grilled chicken, veggies and steamed white rice for each of these meals, but more often I’ll eat out.
Ray loves to eat out, however, that doesn’t mean that she eats a ton of unhealthy food. She shared her secrets for finding healthy options at restaurants on her post. “I love In-and-Out Burger! I take my burger without the bun. Then I get my starch later from starchy veggies and whole grains. At Jersey Mike’s I’ll usually double down on turkey to fill myself up with protein. At regular restos (like I said, I love eating out) I look for seasoned chicken with veggies and sweet potatoes for carbs.
In her blog post, Ray revealed that she does hamstring curls. She also says that she has found ways to do more intense curls. “Instead of just lying face down and hooking my ankles behind the bar to engage the back of my legs to bring the bar towards my butt (as directed), I lie face-up with my upper back on the pad, the soles of my feet on the ground, and the bar positioned against my hips. Then, I engage my hamstrings and butt to lift my hips against the resistance until my body forms a straight line between my knees and shoulders.
For Ray, skincare means finding long-term solutions. She tells Heatworld that this is how she developed IMARAÏS skincare with this in mind. “Growing up I struggled with acne and dry skin, so skincare has always been something that’s fascinated me. Topical solutions just never seemed to work quite right, and I always wanted to avoid heavy medications or chemicals. I developed IMARAÏS with my own personal experiences in mind but also taking into account that everyone’s skin is unique. I always have my friends try out my IMARAÏS gummies, and they get hooked quickly as they just taste so good! I feel that most people don’t need a 12-step skincare routine, we need long-lasting solutions that start from within and effective ingredients. That’s exactly what IMARAÏS stands for.”
