Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Share your exercise routine that you do to maintain such a bikini perfect physique?
Ms. Amber Dawn Orton:
Here is an example of a split I was utilizing prior to becoming pregnant:
Monday: Glute focused leg day
Tuesday: Shoulders
Wednesday: Arms
Thursday: Back & Chest
Friday: Abs & Lower Body Plyo Day
Saturday: Rest Day
Sunday: Lift whatever isn’t sore from the week
Practically all my lifts are focused on 3-4 sets of 6-10 different exercises at 12-15 reps each. I will add in at least 3 HIIT sessions and 2-3 longer duration (40-60 min) LISS sessions to this split typically. My cardio will change based on if I am getting ready for an event, photoshoot, or show. I just recently started implementing more yoga into my schedule as well.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What is your diet? Do you take a particular fixed regulated diet comprising of nutrients and vitamins to keep you in perfect health?
Ms. Amber Dawn Orton:
I use more of a flexible dieting/IIFYM approach so my nutrition never stays the same, but below is a basic breakdown of what some days may look like before being pregnant. I try to get in a lot of micronutrient dense foods even though my intake is flexible and I switch it up all the time based on what I feel like in the moment. I use IconMeals meal prep service as it is a great, affordable, and efficient way to have meals pre-made and freshly delivered each week as well.
Meal 1: 1/2c MyOatmeal Oats + 3 egg whites/1 whole omega 3 egg (I often times combine these ingredients to make protein pancakes or waffles) but if on the go I will eat the IconMeals pre-made protein pancakes
Meal 2: 4 egg whites, spinach, mushrooms, tomato, hot sauce scramble or omelette with ezekiel english muffin
Meal 3: 4oz. extra lean ground turkey atop a taco salad using lettuce, salsa, avocado, brown rice
Meal 4: Protein bar or shake
Meal 5: 4oz. buffalo, 4oz. mashed sweet potato, and broccoli from IconMeals
Meal 6: Low carb protein waffles (recipe on my blog!) with buff bake protein nut butter
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You have glowing skin and gorgeous hair. Do you take some kind of skin treatment to keep it young and glowing and secondly what you do to your hair to make them look so stunning?
Ms. Amber Dawn Orton:
Thank you. I make sure to drink a lot of water everyday which helps. I aim for a gallon a day. I also supplement with NutraSumma fish oil, probiotics, digestive enzymes, Vitamin C, Womans multi vitamin and Collagen. Other than that I don’t do much except make sure I am eating micronutrient dense foods and excercising.
