Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Introduce us to a day in your life.
Ms. Stacey Hayes:
It all depends on whether I am shooting or not but I always begin my day with a workout if I’m not shooting I probably start my workout at about 10:00 AM but if I’m working sometimes I have to start at 4 AM! But I rarely miss a workout that’s how I love to begin my day, every day.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What exercises comprise your fitness regime or workout routine?
Ms. Stacey Hayes:
I work out 7 days a week it’s just the way I choose to start my day regardless of how busy I am. I’m a runner, I run a minimum of 5 miles a day. I also really enjoy Pilates, it stretches and lengthens my muscles without bulking me up and it’s a nice low impact exercise as opposed to the running.
Living in LA I also take advantage of the long summer and I also swim daily when time permits. I absolutely love being in the water, feeling weightless and that’s another wonderful low impact exercise!
In the winter months I also incorporate hiking, I find it too hot to hike in the summer (I’m also afraid of the rattlesnakes LOL ) but I enjoy it in the winter. There’s nothing better than getting out and enjoying nature whilst you’re exercising because it doesn’t even feel like exercise at all!
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Do you have some special diet or have a strict menu that you follow to remain healthy.
Ms. Stacey Hayes:
I have been a vegetarian my entire life, I was vegan for a couple years but now my diet consists mostly of fruits, vegetables and salmon. (But I definitely have cheat days! Pizza pizza pizza LOL I also love chocolate, milk chocolate!)
