We caught up with model, law student and entrepreneur and January 2018 cover model Laura Henshaw to talk about a typical day in her shoes.<\/p>\n
EAT<\/strong><\/p>\n 6:30am:<\/strong> wake up and have an espresso. I can\u2019t stomach food before training.<\/p>\n 8am (breakfast):<\/strong> protein-packed smoothie bowl or two whole eggs with \u00bd an avocado, spinach and smoked salmon. I always ensure I refuel my body with a high-protein-packed meal after training.<\/p>\n 12pm (lunch): <\/strong>tuna or chicken salad with loads of greens, crunchy seeds and avo. I dress my salad with olive oil, lemon juice and apple cider vinegar.<\/p>\n 3pm (snack): <\/strong>I always crave something sweet at this time, so I will have a homemade KIC smoothie ball or a handful of nuts with a piece of fruit or some berries.<\/p>\n 6:30pm (dinner):<\/strong> this is different every night, but usually I have heaps of vegies with either salmon, chicken or beef. I am loving baked salmon at the moment with a roasted Brussel sprout salad and some roasted sweet potato. The dinner recipes on KIC are a combination of my favourite dishes plus a whole heap of crowd pleasers.<\/p>\n 8pm (after dinner): <\/strong>I always crave something sweet after dinner. I will have Greek yoghurt and berries, homemade banana ice-cream (just blend frozen bananas), or dark choc and a peppermint tea to aid with my digestion.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n MOVE<\/strong><\/p>\n I am loving the training combination I have at the moment; I always change it up so I don\u2019t get bored or plateau. My training every week is a combination of HIIT, boxing, strength and running. I do boxing one or two times per week, HIIT twice a week and run about three or four times per week. I always make sure I have one rest day to let my body recover.<\/p>\n THRIVE<\/strong><\/p>\n I don\u2019t have many days that are the same, but I always get up between 6 and 7am and get my workout done early. I get back from the gym and have breakfast, and then if it is a quiet day I\u2019ll head to my office to catch up on emails. If I\u2019m busy, I\u2019m usually between shoots and meetings. Or sometimes I do all three! It really depends on the day. I also always ensure I switch off (or try as hard as I can to by 8pm) so I can spend quality time with my partner, Dalton.<\/p>\n BE<\/strong><\/p>\n I relax by running and switching off from social media for a few hours, or even a full day if I need it.<\/p>\n \n Model:<\/strong> Laura Henshaw \/\/ kicgirls.com<\/i> \/\/ @laura.henshaw \/\/ @keepitcleaner <\/p>\n Grab the January 2018 edition of Women’s Health and Fitness for her full cover model story!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We caught up with model, law student and entrepreneur and January 2018 cover model Laura Henshaw to talk about a typical day in her shoes.
