Carmen Dominicci was fired from Telemundo’s Al Rojo Vivo last year and even though that was a difficult time in her life, it hasn’t stopped her from moving on and focusing on herself. The blue-eyed Puerto-Rican newswoman will be turning 50 in just a couple of weeks and she’s focusing on staying healthy and looking great as she reaches this milestone.

She started the #RetoDominicci where she encourages her followers to stay healthy by sharing healthy eating habits, recipes, workout tips, and articles on her website, motivating those that join the challenge.
“Just a week ago I celebrated 15 years without eating red meat or poultry. I only eat seafood and a little bit of fish once in a while. This makes a big difference because [when you eat a lot of meat] you consume a large amount of hormones, antibiotics, and pesticides that I would’ve eaten in these last 15 years, and they are not in my body,” she tells People en Español.
About 80% of how we look depends on how much exercise and on how you eat, she says. That’s how she realized how she needed to start eating. Many people think that it’s genetics, but that’s only a small part, you have to take control over your body. “Women don’t give up. We have to put a halt on excuses because it’s possible to do it,” she says.
Dominicci says that you have to stop eating in front of the TV, unless you’re watching TV while riding the treadmill or doing some form of exercise. Creating a positive environment both physically and mentally is key. Just because a woman is older doesn’t mean she’s less beautiful or has to let herself go.
She says that she suffers from chronic boredom because she can’t do the same type of exercise every day. If she walks 45 minutes or one hour today, then tomorrow she has to go to the gym. Other days she likes going up the stairs, another she does yoga or Pilates. She tries to exercise at least 1 hour, 4 times a week, alternating workouts for different parts of her body.
“I exercise at home, at the gym, and outside. At 50 years old; you’ve figured yourself out, you know what works. I can’t go to the gym everyday, that’s not me. I need variety,”
Seems like Dominicci has nailed her diet and fitness routine. She turned 50 on July 15 and she looks amazing!
