WWE.com is celebrating National Women’s Health Week with fitness tips from the Divas! Today, Natalya offers advice on nutrition:
Being a WWE Diva, we always have to be on our game. We always have to be in the gym watching what we eat and taking care of our bodies. A lot of the Divas here do yoga, Pilates and weight training — whatever it is that works for them. However, I’m a firm believer that not everything works for everyone. Find what works for you. Find what you like and then it won’t feel like work.
I am an avid runner, I love running. When I go back home to Canada, I go running a lot with my sister. We go on a beautiful bike trail and can run for 10 miles. It’s so beautiful because we’re right by the mountains and the Bow River, and it doesn’t feel like a work out. For me, running is almost an addiction. I just get that “runner’s high.” It makes me feel good for the rest of the day. It’s great.
Find a partner that you’ll stay committed to, because sometimes it’s easy to wake up in the morning and be like, “I don’t want to do it.” But if you have a partner, you don’t want to let them down.
Also, I think to take care of yourself is not to deprive yourself. … I think everything is OK in moderation. If you work hard and you want something, have it. That’s motivation to work out even harder. I just find that if you get too obsessive about anything, it will drive you nuts. So I think everything in moderation, do what you enjoy and it will never feel like work. And hopefully you’ll have a healthier lifestyle.
