61-Year-Old Lisa Rinna Shares 10 Daily Habits That Keep Her Looking Half Her Age

Here is how she looks half her age.

Lisa Rinna is steaming up the internet with her latest sizzling hot throwback snap. The 61-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills alum shared a provocative photo on her social media this week, eliciting a major response from her followers. "@gregswalesart you are a master I forget just how great I looked," she captioned the photo of her flawless figure. "Flawless appeal," commented one. "Age-defying beauty," added another. How does the star look better than most people half her age? Here are ten things the Body Network knows about Lisa Rinna's approach to diet and exercise.

She's Lived in "Moderation"

"I've been really fortunate to get to 60 and be healthy, knock on wood," Rinna told Cosmo in January 2024. "I keep a very moderate lifestyle. I've worked out since I was 16 years old. I live in moderation, even though it seems like I live very loudly and largely. I get my rest. I eat mostly healthy. I'm moderate. I don't go crazy with anything. So there's no silver bullet. There's nothing that I'm super challenged with."

She Has Good Genes

Lisa admits that genetics have played a role in her longevity. "I've been very lucky with my health. My body maintains itself pretty well at this age," she added to Cosmo. "People are like, 'How the heck do you do that?' Genetics. I have a good base of genetics and I got lucky with that. So it's not that hard for me. And I still look good, so that's fun, easy, nice. I enjoy it. I present it the way I want to. And when I can't do that anymore, I won't."

She's "Aging Disgracefully"

Lisa has stopped caring about other people's opinions. "I just don't care about what people think about me, and that has been a tremendous gift that I have learned," she said. "I've gotten to that place where at 60, I am so much more confident than I was at 30," she continued. "I love this age because I'm freer and more confident and more passionate than I've ever been … there's this whole thing about aging gracefully, and I'm like, 'I'm going to age disgracefully.'"

She Is a Believer in Hormone Replacement Therapy

Lisa is a fan of hormone replacement therapy (HRT) to treat menopause symptoms. "Everything you can go through, I was going through it. I couldn't sleep, the hot flashes, everything, and I was anxious and angry and just a mess," she said about her experience with menopause. "If I'm going to have a better life by taking [hormones], I'm going to do it. If you took my hormones away, I would kill you, probably. I really think they're helpful in so many ways."

She Accepts that Aging Is Inevitable

Lisa has accepted that she is getting older. "I think it is about passion. You can't fight aging. Aging is going to happen. How do I do it so that I feel good and I'm happy? That's what I'm looking for, and I'm still passionate, and I'm still curious about life," she told Cosmo. "I don't necessarily need to look like I'm 20 years old, though that's fun if you can get it. But you know what I'm saying? It's about how do you morph yourself into this era and still feel good, be curious, be passionate, and be happy?"

Jazzercise

Lisa has been dancing her way to a hot body since she was a teen. "I've had the same fitness routine since I was 16," she told Us Weekly. "It started with Jazzercise, and I've been consistent about working out ever since."

Yoga

She also gets her zen on. "Yoga has been my life savior for 26 years I've been practicing now," she added to Us. "It's my consistent … you know, I do many workouts and I go through lots of different things, but I think most consistently practicing yoga has been the most helpful in keeping myself grounded and somewhat space … somewhat…"

She Follows a "Dirty Vegan" Diet

While Lisa eats some animal products, she tries to fill her plate with plant-based foods and produce. "I tend to call myself a dirty vegan," she told People. "I'm mostly plant-based—but if I do need to eat some meat, I'll have it."

Exercise Makes Her Feel Better

Lisa tries to focus on how exercise makes her feel, instead of just her looks. "I'm always doing something. I just do because I feel better," Lisa told OWN. "If I feel better, I'm nicer. If I'm nicer, my life goes better."

She Mixes Up Workouts

"My one piece of advice though is finding more than one form of exercise that you love to do and then mixing it up," Lisa explained on her website. "One day do the Pilates, and then the next day you play tennis. Maybe you can even incorporate a Friday night salsa dancing class with your girlfriends!"
