How Does Jennifer Hawkins Workout?
I found a great article from New Idea detailing Jennifer’s exact meal plans for a week
Day One:
Breakfast: Oatmeal with skimmed milk
Snack: Banana
Lunch: Chicken salad
Dinner: Seared ahi tuna steak, steamed vegetables and a cup of brown rice
Exercise: 30-minute power walk. Upper body resistance work at the gym, working her biceps, triceps, shoulders and back. Rather than bulk up using weights, Jen’s more into resistance bands at the moment. You can work any muscle in the body.
Day Two:
Breakfast: Porridge with raisins and honey
Snack: Handful of dried cranberries and blueberries
Lunch: Chicken on rye bread. Jen’s on a white bread detox because her nutritionist suspects she has a yeast allergy. Cup of grapes
Dinner: Tofu stir-fry with egg noodles
Exercise: 45-minute yoga class. Jen’s just revamped her workouts to focus on yoga and Pilates. ‘Yoga levels me out,’ Jen says. ‘If I’m stressed, I do that and I’m fine.
Day Three:
Breakfast: Two slices of rye bread. One banana
Snack: Banana
Lunch: Tuna salad. Handful of cashew nuts. ‘I love fruit, nuts and yogurt,’ Jen says. ‘Food has to be exciting. Depriving yourself makes you crave things more.’
Dinner: Grilled chicken breast and char-grilled vegetables. Low-fat yogurt.
Exercise: 45-minute cardio session
Day Four:
Breakfast: Fruit and nut muesli (unsweetened)
Snack: Mango
Lunch: Chicken salad sandwich on rye
Dinner: Thai takeaway followed by lollies in front of the TV with her girlfriends. ‘I wish I could cut them out,’ she says of her naughty moments, but Jen is only human. ‘It makes my skin break out,’ she reveals.
Exercise: 40-minute power walkin the morning
Day Five:
Breakfast: Scrambled eggs
Snack: Apples
Lunch: Chicken salad sandwich on rye
Dinner: Omelette and salad. Low-fat yogurt
Exercise: Time to pay back for the takeaway! 20-minute jog in
the morning followed by lower-body resistance work and abdominal exercises. She pushes her body harder when she knows she has lollies to work off! Yoga in the evening if she’s stressed.
Day Six:
Breakfast: Fruit and nut muesli (unsweetened)
Snack: Handful of pistachio nuts
Lunch: Chicken Caesar salad with dressing on the side. Jen avoids red meat and prefers a healthy chicken salad
Dinner: Poached salmon with asparagus tips and a cup of brown rice
Exercise: 45-minute Pilates class or a cardio session
Day Seven:
Breakfast: Omelette with cheese and tomato
Snack: Strawberries
Lunch: Tuna mayo in an avocado shell with salad
Dinner: Chicken stir-fry with capsicum and 1 / 2 a cup of whole-wheat tagliatelle
Exercise: Rest. It’s important to rest at least once a week so your muscles can rebuild. Although working out most days seems like a big commitment, it suits Jen well. ‘Exercising year-round is good. I’m a happier person as a result.’
