Ibiza Donna swimwear model Olivia Karpinski shares her top fitness secrets! Get your bikini body after trying these tips
After interviewing Ibiza Donna
swimwear model and former trainer for the WWE Diva’s Olivia Karpinski, I’ve
learned top fitness advice and just about everything you need to know to get
your best bikini body this summer. Olivia has been modeling since the age of
five so staying in great shape has been a huge part of her life. She has
experienced it all-“I lost 40 pounds and understand the challenges and triumphs
of gaining and losing weight,” says Olivia. With summer quickly arriving, most
people will head back to the gym. “It’s great to have an external motivator
like having killer abs at the pool but it’s also important to have internal
motivators that keep you healthy and strong year round!”
So what exactly
should we be doing for a great bikini body? Olivia recommends starting out a
fitness journey where you find the right exercise you actually enjoy, such as
Pilates, cardio, running, or Yoga. No matter the benefits of regular exercise,
Olivia states that 80% of staying fit actually has to do with proper nutrition.
“You can do hundreds of sit-ups but you can’t out sit-up or out workout a bad
diet! She even launched her own nutrition program called “Body by Olivia,”
which helps guide you through some of Olivia’s best advice for a nutritious
diet and a healthy body. Here’s some of Olivia’s advice for eating right and
getting fit:
1.) Accountability: I recommend
everyone keep a food journal. It’s easy to finish your child's goldfish, grab a
handful of candy at work or binge eat without even realizing you’re doing it -
and those calories add up! When I worked as a Senior Business Analyst, I kept a
list on my desk. Now that I work as a freelance print and commercial model,
stylist and nutrition coach, apps like "My Fitness Pal," help me stay
on track and accountable. Find out what works for you! I also use my friends,
family and social media to help keep me on track!
2.) Start small: Now that you know what your problem
areas are, put a plan in place to be the best you that you can be! Luckily, you
don't have to give up carbs or do hours of cardio... Phew! Moderation in
everything is key! Find ways to move more and eat a little bit less. There are
3500 calories in a pound. Take your current weight and multiply it by 10 if you
are sedentary, 11-12 if you are active, and 13-14 if you live a very active
lifestyle. If you want to maintain your current weight, that is roughly the amount of calories you
need to consume. To lose weight, you want to create a 500 calorie deficit a day
through a combination of diet and exercise. Start walking 20-30 minutes a day
and if you trim your portion sizes a little or find food substitutes, you will
peel off pounds in no time!
3.) Eat Fresh: I no longer count calories because I
never eat processed foods. I eat produce in season - my summer favorites are
blueberries, strawberries, bell peppers, butter lettuce, tomatoes, zucchini,
and olive oil roasted asparagus and brussel sprouts. My lean proteins come from
eggs, egg whites, tuna, salmon, white fish, turkey, chicken breast, and non-fat
plain greek yogurt. I eat fats with every meal including olive oil, avocado,
walnuts, and almonds. If we turned in to a food that we eat a lot, I would be
an almond! I cook everything on Sunday nights and keep deli slices of turkey,
hard boiled eggs, and cut up veggies as a quick grab and go snack.
4.) Metabolism: Everyone's metabolism is different –
it’s what converts the food you eat to energy or stores it as fat. To keep your
metabolism going, focus on eating low-glycemic small meals throughout the day
and don't forget to drink water. This keeps your body from going in to
starvation mode, and keeps your body from storing extra calories and sugar from
a larger meal as fat! Foods like cayenne pepper, green tea, and coffee can help
boost your metabolism.
5.) Work out! Nutrition comes first but when
combined with a great exercise program, you can start seeing results in as
little as a week! Start out with light cardio and find activities you love like
hiking or Zumba. I am a runner and do interval sprints up Runyon Canyon in West
Hollywood 3-4 times a week! Pilates are a great way to firm up and strengthen
your core and do NOT be afraid to get in the weight room! Strength training will
not make you big! The only thing that can make you bulky is your fork! Start
out with small weights and work cardio like jump roping in between your sets.
Work your abs once to twice a week and think quality over quantity for a strong
core!
Olivia is in the process of
launching her website so stay tuned to keep up with her travels, Hollywood
events, and photo shoots as well as to get day to day fitness, nutrition,
beauty, and fashion tips! Ever since her training with the WWE ended due to
injuries, Olivia has been following her passion for fitness and pursuing
becoming a Certified Personal Trainer in addition to print, spokes, and
commercial modeling.
