Personal Trainer

Carolyn says that happiness is essential with good diet. It will keep the body beautiful and good from inside. She talked to Vogue about all this. In her own words –

“I have been extreme in the past, but I think it’s unrealistic and boring just to eat vegetables all the time. Happiness is the biggest part to being beautiful and feeling good inside, so if you’re taking care of your body you’re obviously going to feel good. I think [it’s best] sticking to fruits that have antioxidants and lean meats and fish.”

She also talked about her fitness secrets and staying fit. She revealed –

“Again, it’s hard to stay consistent. I go through phases where I’m on the treadmill, I’m doing the hiking, the yoga class, then I tailor it to more: ‘What can I do in a hotel room? Or when I drop my daughter off at school?’ It comes down to basics. Recently, it’s been about the mat on the floor, some leg lifts, some squats, but mainly the breathing. I find that deep breathing centers me.”

In a different interview given to Bella Sugar, she stated that Bikram Yoga is what she practices most, whether she is in hotel or house.
