Pilates + Strength Training
Grace's workout method is "a fusion of Pilates technique with traditional fitness," she explains to Naluda. "So we use dumbbells and resistance bands and do squats and curls. But always with the underlying philosophy of posture strength, elegant movement, and muscle lengthening."
Try Different Exercises Until You Find One You Love
What is Grace's number one fitness tip? "Try a lot of different formats and you'll find the one you love enough to stay motivated and keep going," she told Naluda. "It might be something social and structured (and free) — like a running community training for a 10k that has each weekly jog planned out to the exact mile and meets at the same time every week. Or something flexible like joining a fancy studio that offers different modalities and allows you to toggle between yoga and boot camp. Keep experimenting and you'll hit upon the fitness routine that matches your vibe and gets you coming back."
Her Favorite Healthy and Cheat Foods
Edamame is Grace's go-to healthy food. "There are several bags of frozen edamame in my freezer at all times. It's incredibly high in both protein and fiber. It's quick and easy to fry or bake with a splash of olive oil, salt and pepper. You can also change the taste of it with any type of marinade or seasoning mix, so it never gets old," she told Naluda. And her favorite cheat meal? "Deep-fried anything," she said.
