Gabrielle Reece is honoring her husband, Laird Hamilton, in her bikini. In a new social media post, the former volleyball star shows off her amazing figure in a bathing suit while paying homage to her pro surfer hubby. \u201cWe don\u2019t vacation and I often say I don\u2019t need presents on specials days, because when you are doing what you love with who you love everyday is special. Deeply grateful for the only partner this life could be built with, it\u2019s a privilege,\u201d Reece captioned the series of Instagram snaps. \u201cHonored. Grateful,\u201d responded her husband. \u201cGoals,\u201d Bethenny Frankel commented. \u201cI just love yall,\u201d added Nicole Scherzinger. How does the athlete approach health and wellness? Here are her top diet and fitness habits.<\/p>\n
Reece told Parade<\/a> that her approach to fitness starts with high-intensity interval training. \u201cI try to create a little bit of structure. Monday, Wednesday and Friday<\/a> I typically will do some kind of HIIT<\/a>, high intensity mixed bag of exercises that I change each time. It\u2019s about 60 minutes of work, a little bit less. I write the workouts, a mix of resistance, strength and dumbbells. I\u2019m busy and I don\u2019t have a ton of time just to sit there and be like, \u201cit\u2019s leg day.\u201d That doesn\u2019t exist. I\u2019m not gonna spend three hours on legs. This is also about agility and functional movement,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n She also practices breathing. \u201cAfter I workout, I try to do a breathing routine that\u2019s about 15 to 20 minutes, to start the recovery process and down-regulating. It\u2019s really important that even if we\u2019re sitting at our desk or driving in our car, that we\u2019re nose breathing as often as we possibly can. That\u2019s a really important health idea. So my routine involves a lot of nose breathing and oxygenating the tissues and the cells. That\u2019s Monday, Wednesday, Friday if the schedule permits in a perfect world,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Gabby also exercises in the pool. \u201cTuesday, Thursday and Saturday, I\u2019m in the pool. My husband and I developed pool training. I couple that with heat, a sauna and ice tubs. And what I like about that training is it\u2019s a lot of ballistic movements but in a no-gravity environment. And so as an aging athlete, that environment helps me work really hard and be in performance. It\u2019s something that is uber challenging but also nurturing at the same time,\u201d she told Parade.<\/p>\n Gabby hydrates. \u201cFirst thing in the morning, I drink water with lemon and minerals in it because when we sleep, we haven\u2019t had anything to drink and so we\u2019re probably dehydrated. I start with a very large glass of water,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Gabby does day-long fasts. \u201cWhat my husband and I will also do, which is at times a misery, is take off a day of eating here and there. Like 30 hours and all you\u2019re having is either caffeine and water. He handles it much better than I do. And I think people have to be smart about it, especially for women. We have to ask ourselves, \u201cWhere am I in my hormone cycle?\u201d and things like that. But I\u2019ve found incredible success from that like the feeling of less inflammation. And what\u2019s also so good about it is you are not thinking about snacks; you are thinking about food. And so what it does is resets your baseline,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Gabrielle Reece is honoring her husband, Laird Hamilton, in her bikini.
