The Lady Shake - Sophie Monk - Health and fitness
Adam caught up with Sophie Monk to talk all thing health and fitness. HEALTHIER BY THE DOZEN When she’s not grabbing a smoothie and some fruit on her way out the door, Sophie cooks up a breakfast that’s packed full of protein, fibre and good fats. “I love fruit but I also love making eggwhite omelets,” she said. “I’ll use a dozen egg whites and mix all different vegetables in — mushrooms, onion, avocado — with a tiny bit of oil. Then I add a bit of salsa because it’s low in sugar and better for you than sauce.” “It’s my favourite breakfast. It’s hearty and you feel like you’ve had a big meal.” STRETCH IT Like her personality, Sophie likes to keep her exercise routine fun and real. “I used to run every single day for an hour but that was going overboard, so now I only run three times a week and mix it up with yoga,” she said. “I’m much more into lengthening muscle than building it and I love yoga for the flexibility it gives you.” “But anything that keeps you interested and burns calories is good. I used to dance and I still love turning the radio on and dancing around the house. I have a drink and a dance sometimes and wake up with a six-pack and a hang over!” Smart tip: walk and talk “My friends and I go walking together and have a gossip. Otherwise you’re just sitting gossiping, so you might as well go for a big walk.”
