Pamela Reif’s Diet

Summary

Once upon a time, breakfast for Reif was a bowl of granola and a slice of cake. She has since totally cleaned up her diet. Veggies top her list and she eats them at every meal. She turns them into smoothies, sautés them, and prepares them just about every way imaginable. She does eat some meat and fish, but only in small amounts as she considers it to be better for the planet to eat less. Chocolate is her treat of choice. She drinks plenty of water every day.

Pamela Reif’s Workout Routine

Weekly Routine

From Skinny to Sexy

Reif says she was a scrawny teen, and when she first went to the gym, she didn’t know what to do. Standard running on the treadmill bored her, and so she started lifting weights with the guys.

Always Something Different

Reif has around 200 videos so you can always find something new to do on her channel.

Zero Gimmicks

Unlike a lot of fitness gurus, Reif doesn’t make outrageous promises. She is honest about the amount of work it takes and does not claim to offer any shortcuts.

Bodyweight Rules

Reif lifts weights, but she also thinks you can get in great shape using just your bodyweight.

Motivated Workouts

Reif understands the challenges of maintaining the willpower to keep up a fitness routine, and so she makes videos that are called ‘motivated workouts.’

Keep that Heart Pumping

Reif is all about working hard with minimal rest time. The results speak for themselves.

Daily Dose

Reif works out most days, but she doesn’t spend hours. Her workouts are intense, but not especially long. Most of her videos are less than 20 minutes.

HIIT It

Reif is a fan of high-intensity workouts that give great results in minimal time.

Love Those Abs

Reif loves to hit the abs hard, not only so they look good, but also because a strong core helps prevent injuries throughout the body.

Be Kind

Social media is rife with hate but Reif refuses to get sucked into the negativity. She says her channels are only for fans, and if you don’t like her, please unsubscribe.

Hometown Girl

Reif still lives in the same town she grew up in, although she’s not opposed to travelling for photo ops.
