Heather Rae El Moussa takes her health and well-being seriously.
On Thursday, September 12, Selling Sunset Stipsa, 36, showed off her toned abs via social media and shared some insight into how she got them.
“My wellness as a mom is non-negotiable!” El Moussa started on the Instagram carousel.
The post showed the reality star – who shares son Tristan, 1, with husband Tarek El Moussa – posing in a pink cheetah print tracksuit as she looked down, smiling at her chiseled abs.
Tarek also shares daughter Taylor, 13, and son Brayden, 9, with ex-wife Christina Hall.

Despite having a young son and being an extra mom to her husband’s two kids, Heather Rae said she sticks to a tight routine.
“Exercise: my priority is to exercise with my trainer @paulinastein 3 days a week for 30-50 minutes. If we can’t meet in person, we’ll FaceTime or use her app @paulinafitnessstudio,” she wrote.

Heather Rae and Tarek recently spent a family day with their boys at Disneyland in Anaheim, California. During the outing, the couple joked that they were “not doing very well” in the heat.
“So maybe we picked the hottest day of the year. OK, we picked the hottest day of the year, it’s going to be 104 [degrees]” Heather Rae shared in a video posted to her Instagram stories. “We’re not doing so well.”
Before the trip ended, they found a way to beat the heat.
“We just went on a ride in wet water, so we’re cooling down a bit,” she added.
