‘Biggest Loser’ trainers Anna Kournikova and Dolvett Quince share their own diet and workout regimens

‘The Biggest Loser’ is back with some big changes! The newest trainers to join Bob Harper for Season 12 of the hit reality show are tennis star Anna Kournikova and celebrity trainer Dolvett Quince!

Of course, the emphasis is always on training the contestants, but I wanted to know if they practice what they preach! Here’s what they told us about their own diet and workout regimens!

Anna Kournikova: Personally, what works is balance and moderation but also indulging. Because if you deprive yourself completely all the time you are going to fall off the wagon and just overdo, overeat, over do.

I personally eat anything or any type of food that’s is out there – everything from pizza to burgers to healthy oatmeal! I think what really works is moderation. As I’ve have gotten older now I really am more conscious and focused on the nutritional benefits of the food and the nutritional components. I really try to stick to eating whole foods and natural foods, not so much the packaged stuff.

And I work out five, six days a week as much as I can. That’s my therapy, that’s my me time.

I’ve been used to sweating since I was 5 years old since I started playing tennis. I really never go more than two days without sweating it out in the gym or, you know, doing some kind of a sport. My body just needs it and I get anxiety actually if I don’t work out.

Dolvett Quince: My workout regimen is crazy. There’s nothing I don’t do. I involve everything from yoga, Pilates, strength training, biometrics in a two hour workout.

Sometimes I only workout for an hour but I maximize my time and I’m doing two hours because I have to add in some cardio element in what I do. You know, I love working out. It’s a release for me.

I do anywhere between five to six days a week. I think everyone should have a day of rest. I think everyone should indulge and have a cheat day personally. I agree with Anna from that perspective because you don’t want to be too extreme on one side that it just doesn’t make sense.

You know, you’ve got to have balance in the middle and enjoy life. And that’s what I practice and preach and live by with myself as well as my clients.

The new season of “The Biggest Loser” premiering Tuesday, September 20 (8-10 p.m. ET) on NBC!
