Personal Trainer
Having trained in martial arts at a young age meant that Catriona was aware of the disciplined lifestyle that was required to prepare for a big event like the Miss Universe pageant. She would train 3 to 4 times a week for 60 minutes in different forms of exercise to maintain a toned physique. Gray would alternate between Pilates, cardio, dance, and strength training to keep her workout interesting and get the best results from her body. Maintaining her high energy levels throughout the challenging schedule of the competition was one of her biggest motivations.
For her overall health, simple beauty tricks like drinking a glass of water early in the morning and getting enough sleep were routines the beauty queen firmly abided by. For breakfast, she would turn to juices, green smoothies, and smoothie bowls. Her diet consisted of lots of vegetables and fruits. In fact, Gray would cook her own meals to be sure of its ingredients as, in this way, she could prepare it to her personal liking. Additionally, she would make her own ‘baon’ to fight hunger pangs throughout the day. She also made it a point to stay away from processed foods and bubbly drinks, as it contains sugar, and were a big no-no.
