Tessa Virtue is breaking a sweat with her trainer, Torrie Borland – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the ice dancer gives her fitness guru a shout out, while also showing off her fantastic figure in a two-piece exercise set. "I could go on and on about @torriebfit – but all you really need to know is that she's the best. Today was our first workout back in person for several months and OH MY WAS IT EVER FUN," she captioned the Instagram post.
Tessa mixes up her workouts. "Leading into the Olympics, Scott [Moir] and I typically skated for four hours a day, and would then spend two hours in the gym doing various workouts including cycling, Pilates, strength circuits, and sometimes even ballroom dancing!" she revealed to Canadian Living.
Tessa takes recovery seriously. "As an older athlete, the balance of work and recovery has become more important. Much of a training day is devoted to treatment – we work with a massage therapist, an osteopath, and a physiotherapist," she revealed. According to the Mayo Clinic, studies support the many benefits of getting a regular rub down. These include stress reduction, lessening pain and muscle tightness, increased relaxation, and improved immunity.
Tessa starts the day with an ayurvedic favorite. "The first thing I do every morning is have a glass of hot water with lemon for its alkalinity and detox effects," she told Canadian Living. She also makes sure to hydrate throughout the day. "I drink a lot of water, sleep as much as I can, and moisturize."
Tessa is a big fan of baths. "I love lighting candles, putting Epsom salts in the bathtub, putting on a "chill" playlist and soaking – it's a great way to decompress, unwind, and let my mind calm down" she told Canadian Living about her self-care routine. How can baths do your body and mind good? They have been linked to better sleep and even found helpful to minimize anxiety and depression. One recent study even found that they may even boast cardiovascular benefits.
"My diet isn't too strict, instead I focus on eating healthfully," she told Canadian Living. "I have such a sweet tooth, and I've learned not to deprive myself, but rather practice moderation. I'm not a big cook, but I'll make poached eggs, smoothies and overnight oats." In general, she tries to eat whole foods. "If I had to categorize my diet it would be just eating clean," she added to Strong Fitness Magazine. "I make sure to get lots of protein, and I love fruits and vegetables. However, I also leave room for treats. I'm a sucker for any and all kinds of dessert, and I've learned not to deprive myself, but rather maintain a healthy balance."

Olympic ice skater Tessa Virtue is a dream in orange. Virtue, 34, shared a promotional video of herself looking absolutely stunning in a 1960s-s inspired two piece swimsuit, lounging next to the pool in the intense sunshine. "Florida Orange Juice…hits different. ☀️ My sunny way of finding my groove and my energy after work, a social day, or a workout. A 250 mL glass of Florida OJ provides nutrients like vitamin C, potassium, thiamin, and folate. Can you dig it?" she captioned the post. "Obsessed with this collaboration✨ ?," a fan commented.
Virtue keeps her beauty and makeup routine simple and focuses on training. "The first thing I do every morning is have a glass of hot water with lemon for its alkalinity and detox effects," she says. "My skincare and beauty regime is quite minimal. I drink a lot of water, sleep as much as I can, and moisturize… Leading into the Olympics, Scott [Moir] and I typically skated for four hours a day, and would then spend two hours in the gym doing various workouts including cycling, Pilates, strength circuits, and sometimes even ballroom dancing!"
Virtue is serious about recovery to prevent injuries. "As an older athlete, the balance of work and recovery has become more important," she says. "Much of a training day is devoted to treatment – we work with a massage therapist, an osteopath, and a physiotherapist. There is a lot of mental prep work, as well, so Scott and I work with a sport psychologist. We have a bit of an entourage, but all of those facets of our preparation are so important and set us up for key moments on the ice when it all comes down to a three or four minute performance."
Virtue is learning to love cooking, but admits it's not her strong point. "My grandmother used to make the most incredible chicken divan, and my mom has carried out that tradition," she says. "It's my comfort food. It's amazing how you can almost taste the memories with a dish like that! And the more leftovers, the better. I leave the cooking to Scott. When I do make something, though, he has to hear all about it because I'm quite proud of myself."
Virtue enjoys a healthy balanced diet with lots of delicious high-protein foods. "My diet isn't too strict, instead I focus on eating healthfully," she says. "I have such a sweet tooth, and I've learned not to deprive myself, but rather practice moderation. I'm not a big cook, but I'll make poached eggs, smoothies and overnight oats."
Virtue feels better when she knows she looks good. "I do feel different whether I'm in the gym or on the ice when I have a cute outfit on. I think most girls can relate—you carry yourself differently," she says, adding that her favorite outfit is the Believe This pair from Adidas. "I think the way you present yourself to the world, whatever kind of task you're tackling, is really important."
