Leading a fit a healthy lifestyle is not something that is new to Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge. Kate enjoyed field hockey and was actually the captain of her team in University and still concentrates hard to stay active and healthy with tennis, swimming, yoga or working out at the gym. At one time it was feared that Kate was actually losing too much weight, but this was at the time when she met Prince William, Duke of Cambridge and the press was hounding her relentlessly. It’s no secret that excessive stress leads can lead to weight loss and sometimes if can even be dangerous.

Kate’s enjoyment for fitness goes far beyond the gym as she also has participated in charity boat races which required training in rowing that improved her cardiovascular fitness. Kate is obviously naturally sporty and regardless of what is going on in her life, or the press for that matter, she still takes the time to maintain her fit lifestyle. Just this past weekend, Kate and William spent the afternoon in the forests of Danum Valley where they climbed 130 foot trees.

Now when it comes to diet, Kate naturally eats healthy to mesh with her active lifestyle. Although, just like the rest of us, Kate does indulge now and then. According to The Examiner, Kate likes to make home made sausage and preserves, “Kate enjoys cooking and often makes homemade sausage links (with her own sausage-maker), and prepares jars of homemade strawberry jam and plum preserves to give out as gifts to family and friends.”

Kate not only inspires us to eat healthy and stay fit, she also wears affordable off-the-rack clothing which makes her fashion choices accessible to everyone, not just the rich and famous.

It’s pretty obvious that Kate concentrates on a fit and healthy lifestyle. What do you do to stay fit and healthy, sound off your comment below, we love to hear from our readers!
