Lindsay isn't just motivated by the physical benefits of exercise. "When you workout, you're also getting endorphins that make you feel good, you sleep better and you don't seem to stress out as much. I also like the idea that when you work out, you're taking time for yourself. It's self-care," she recently told Health.
In her younger years, Lohan famously battled substance abuse problems. "I avoid alcohol," she told The Mirror. "In fact, I would rather go out diving in the sea at night than drink."
Lindsay loves to do yoga. "Starting the day with yoga," she captioned a photo of herself decked out in workout clothes. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. "Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood," they said. "People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating."
Lohan maintains a consistent workout schedule. "I work out three or four days a week. I'm not an outdoor runner, but I love the treadmill. I'll just put my headphones on, put the treadmill on an incline, and alternate between speed walking, jogging, and sprinting," she told Health.
Self care is "about taking care of yourself physically and mentally," Lohan told Health. "For me, having a good skincare routine is part of it, as is eating healthy. But it's also about the people you surround yourself with. You have to make sure you have a good support system and the people around you provide good stability."
Lohan tries to "focus on balance" when it comes to her diet. "I love cooking and looking at recipes, so that's something that helps me incorporate healthy foods. And I don't have a sweet tooth," she told Health. Occasionally she will cheat and order fast food. "When I do, I'll go for a kids' meal—that's my trick. My fiance and siblings all make fun of me for it. I really only do that once in a blue moon," she added. "Again, it's about balancing those things with lots of other healthy, nutritious options."
"I meditate daily," Lohan revealed to Health. "Once a day I take 10 to 15 minutes and I do some breathing work paired with some spiritual prayers. It gives me time to focus. I will actually go into the bathroom to meditate. I turn on the shower and leave it running while I do it. It may sound weird, but the sound of the water calms me—it's cozy and feels like no one can bother you." The Mayo Clinic agrees. "When you meditate, you may clear away the information overload that builds up every day and contributes to your stress," they say.
