The Top Chef star shows off her fantastic body in a skimpy swimsuit while vacationing in Iceland. \u201cIf you\u2019re planning a trip this summer, Iceland is a great option!<a rel=\"noopener noreferrer external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/explore\/tags\/littlehands\/\" target=\"_blank\"> #Littlehands<\/a> and I went over spring break, and there\u2019s so much to see and do. You might not catch the northern lights this time of year, but at least it won\u2019t be as cold!!! Big shout out to Davinia for getting these amazing Blue Lagoon photos!\u201d she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach health and wellness? Here are her go-to habits.<\/p>\n<p>Padma works out daily. She spends 90 minutes, five times a week, at the gym. She starts with 35 minutes of cardio ( like jumping rope for 2,000 strokes) and then adds strength training (lifting weights, classic squats, lunges, and dumbbell curls) twice or thrice weekly. She also enlists the help of Tony, her trainer. \u201cHe\u2019s there to watch my form, and he spends most of his time telling me not to do something,\u201d she told Women\u2019s Health. Sometimes she will do even more cardio \u2013 30 minutes on the elliptical, treadmill, or slide board.<\/p>\n<p>Padma enjoys boxing. \u201cLight sparring is good for the soul,\u201d she captioned a workout post. <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.health.harvard.edu\/exercise-and-fitness\/punch-up-your-exercise-routine-with-fitness-boxing\" target=\"_blank\">Harvard Health<\/a> maintains that boxing is a great way to build strength, improve balance, posture, hand-eye coordination, boost mood and endurance, and increase alertness.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI started going to Pilates a few years ago, because my chiropractor recommended it for my back,\u201d she told Women\u2019s Health about the elongating workout. \u201cPilates changed my body. It made me strong in places I didn\u2019t know I needed to be. I have a butt now that I didn\u2019t have during my modeling career!\u201d Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer external\" href=\"https:\/\/dahlc.mayoclinic.org\/2014\/06\/16\/pilates-overview\/\" target=\"_blank\">Mayo Clinic<\/a>, the workout has many benefits, as it \u201cstrengthens the body\u2019s inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.\u201d It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.<\/p>\n<p>Because Padma is expected to eat so much on Top Chef, she usually gains up to 17 pounds every season. To slim down in the postseason, she does a detox. \u201cIt\u2019s no sweets, no red meat, no wheat, no alcohol, no fried food, no dairy except for cottage cheese or low-fat yogurt. But this is a milder version\u2014like, I can fall off the wagon one day a week,\u201d she told <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.health.com\/celebrities\/padma-lakshmi-october-2017\" target=\"_blank\">Health<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Padma splits her plate into halves to ensure she eats healthily. She fills the first up with 50 percent fruits and vegetables. The remaining half is for simple carbs, starch, and lean protein, she dished to <a rel=\"noopener noreferrer external\" href=\"https:\/\/www.womenshealthmag.com\/life\/a33025833\/padma-lakshmi-fitness-endometriosis-pain-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\">Women\u2019s Health<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<script async src=\"\/\/www.instagram.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Padma Lakshmi is heating up Iceland in her bikini.
