Namita Nayyar:
What is your most favourite workout routine?
Torrie Wilson:
I’m somewhat obsessed with stairs. Doing them is like meditation for me and more for my head than for my body. I like to do 30-40 minutes almost everyday and add in my own made-up circuit with weights for 25-30 minutes on most days.
Namita Nayyar:
A healthy breakfast for you includes?
Torrie Wilson:
I eat the same breakfast almost all the time. 2 eggs on toast with coconut butter spread. Sometimes I get crazy and add turkey bacon. I have found it’s the perfect amount for me to start my day with and gives me good energy.
Namita Nayyar:
Your favourite fitness icon?
Torrie Wilson:
Oh gosh there are so many amazing fitness icons these days it’s hard to pick just one! Jillian Michaels would be an obvious one. She has changed so many lives and probably had the ultimate career. I’ve never met her, but follow her on Instagram and love her down to earth realness.
Namita Nayyar:
How do you like to train your body? 3 Must-do exercises for legs, abs & upper body?
Torrie Wilson:
Legs: Walking Lunges, Jump Squats, Stairs
Abs: Heavy weighted seated machine crunches, wood chops (any variation), Rope pull downs
Namita Nayyar:
When and what do you have for dinner? And on weekends?
Torrie Wilson:
I try to eat every 3-4 hours and dinner is usually around 7:30. I am always hungry and it’s always different. I would say the dinner I have most often is chicken tacos. I make yummy ones. Weekends I often end up eating out. I find it’s really easy to eat healthy while out these days as long as you know the things to watch out for but I do not count every morsel that goes into my mouth and feel that once you get to a place you are happy at and workout as hard as I do, counting calories becomes unnecessary. It’s more about portion control and eating healthy 80% of the time.
Namita Nayyar:
What would be your tip for women in their 40s to maintain their physique?
Torrie Wilson:
People always say diet is the number 1 factor and while I think it’s obviously important, my number 1 tip is to LIFT WEIGHTS. We naturally lose muscle as we age and it’s important to work hard at keeping it. As we age, just being thin can make us look older. Full muscles keep you looking younger and burn more calories all day long.
PS. Don’t be afraid of lifting heavy either.:)
