Health Eating – Breakfast and Herbal Tea
In an interview with Self Magazine she talked about how she keeps healthy while on tour. She found early on that having a healthy breakfast everyday set her up for the day, gave her more energy and made her feel healthier and more alert.
She avoids dairy and instead drinks almond milk. She enjoys drinking herbal tea with Munuka honey. Although she admits to loving candy she does not eat any while on tour.
She also avoids eating after 8pm, so there is no risk of piling on extra weight while she sleeps. This is really to avoid acid reflux than specifically to manage her weight, but it will help.
Is Hayley a Freaky Eater?
When asked a for a fun fact about herself, Hayley says: “I only eat one thing at a time… and sometimes in a clockwise fashion around my plate. It’s terrifying.”
A strange way of eating, but actually one that can help you to digest and absorb nutrients well, and may also help you to control eating by making your feel full sooner. When people take care over how they eat they generally are more in tune with their body response to eating, and therefore more likely to recognise when they feel full. So although her approach to eating is a little strange, it may actually contribute to her great figure.
Hayley Williams Fitness Workouts
Hayley finds that just performing on stage and rehearsing is enough of an aerobic workout to help keep her in shape. She keeps up her energy on stage to help work up her fans, which she admits is exhausting but also keeps her in great shape.
She also told Self Magazine that she is going to start the Insanity Workout: “I’m ordering the Insanity Workout, I’m really stoked about it. You’ve heard of P90X right? It’s the same people, but it’s way more cardio.”
The Insanity Workout is an intense and high-impact fitness program developed by Shaun T. It combines cardio, plyometrics, and bodyweight resistance training to push participants to their limits. The program typically spans 60 days, with daily workout sessions ranging from 30 to 60 minutes, focusing on improving cardiovascular endurance, strength, and overall fitness. Insanity emphasizes the concept of “max interval training,”, wherein participants alternate between high-intensity exercises and short periods of rest, aiming to achieve maximum calorie burn and muscle engagement.
She does not want to build muscle but is keen to get really fit so that she can dance and strut on stage without tiring. Her favorite exercises are the plyometrics, tempo and yoga moves.
