Hattie Boydle is training with Koben Moore – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the fitness model flaunts her amazing figure in an exercise set while training with her partner. “Rainy leg days,” he captioned the Instagram video. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Hattie relies on strength training to keep her body fit. “A combination of heavy weights and circuit training changed my life! German Volume and split training has also shaped my body like nothing else,” she told Simply Shredded. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

• Develop strong bones
• Manage your weight
• Enhance your quality of life
• Manage chronic conditions
• Sharpen your thinking skills

Hattie recommends doing squats, back extensions, and hip thrusts. “There is nothing like having a good squat day! I get under the bar and everything just glides! Plus there are so many variations it’s hard to get bored,” she says. As for back extensions, with her toes turned out, “is one of my favorite exercises,” she says. “For years I would get a sore lower back, and it wasn’t until I put this bad boy into my routine that I started to get rid of my back pain,” she explains. She recommends doing hip thrusts on a decline bench with a barbell, another “great burner” for her glutes. “This year, when I was 9 weeks out from the WBFF World titles, I fractured my foot and could no longer squat, sprint, lunge or put pressure on my foot. This exercise helped me train through it, and I was able to keep my posterior chain and strength levels in check,” she says.”

Hattie does HIIT to cut, she told Simply Shredded. “I like a challenge, and I enjoy the short bursts of intensity.” There is lots of research backing up the benefits of HIIT workouts, including body fat reduction, improved cardiovascular function, and mental health. It is also time effective.

Hattie focuses her diet around protein.

• Meal 1: 2 Poached Eggs, 2 Slices Soy and Linseed, 1 tablespoon Butter and 1 Skim Cappuccino
• Meal 2: 1 Scoop Whey, 1 tablespoon Almond Spread, 7 ounces Skim Milk, ½ Banana and Cinnamon
• Meal 3: 7 ounces Teriyaki Fish, 1 cup Rice, and 3 ½ ounces Mixed Greens
• Meal 4: 7 ounces Chicken Breast, 1 Apple, Piccolo Latte – Full Cream and Salad
• Meal 5: 1 Scoop Whey, 1 Apple and Water
• Meal 6: 6 ounces Rib Eye Steak, 5 ounces Sweet Potato Fries and Salad
• Meal 7: 1 ounce Chocolate

Hattie is a “flexible dieter or IIFYM,” she tells Simply Shredded. “I know this is a controversial topic in the industry, but to be honest it has played a huge role in my recovery from anorexia. Off season, my macros are around 160 grams of protein, 280 grams of carbs and 70 grams of fat. During contest prep my macros are around 170 grams of protein, 140 grams of carbs and 55 grams of fat. I have no restriction on my food, but I must meet my target goals daily.”
