Rio 2016: 13 Olympians on their workouts, diets and body confidence

The countdown to Rio 2016 is on, and who better to inspire us to lead healthier lifestyles (and perhaps become more comfortable in our swimwear and crop-tops) than Team Canada’s female Olympic athletes. And while you might think that being an athlete equates to instant self confidence, that’s not the case for these athletes, who often need to watch their weight closely in order to optimize performance—and that includes not getting too light when you’re a heavyweight wrestler.

Beyond attaining killer body confidence, there’s much to learn on how to lead our healthiest lifestyles yet—without obsessing over every calorie (one athlete has to eat up to 6,000 calories a day!). Each athlete has her fitness and nutrition recipe for success, and you can, too.

Get to know our athletes now so you can cheer them on.
