Jaclyn Stapp Talks Beauty and Philanthropy
Many recognize Jaclyn Stapp as the gorgeous wife of Grammy winner Scott Stapp from the rock band Creed, but Mrs. Stapp has proven that she is much more than a rock star’s wife and a pretty face; she’s also an amazing soul who is here to conquer the world one act of philanthropy at a time!
Jaclyn Stapp’s experience as a beauty queen and model has certainly led her on a path to permanent fitness. Unlike many moms, Stapp has rarely struggled with her weight mostly because her job and lifestyle never allowed her to. Still, with three active children, a rock star husband and her own professional agenda, Stapp’s fitness regimen isn’t without its challenges. “Maintaining my health has always been a priority of mine,” she says. “Sometimes squeezing in a workout can be a bit challenging but I stay very busy.” Stapp says that when she cannot find time to squeeze in yoga or Extend Barre Classes (her favorites), she incorporates family activities such as basketball, going to the beach and riding bikes into her day.When she does need to prep for an important event, pageant or photo shoot, she strictly focuses on her diet and workout, and even enlists her family to help her stay motivated. “The whole family cheers me on,” she says. “They even join in on similar diet regimens with me.” Such regimens include a diet that is high protein, low carb, low sodium and incorporates tons of water. Stapp says her go-to staples are egg whites, oatmeal, grapefruit, chicken, fish and steamed veggies. While she always makes efforts to keep her diet clean, she does admit to occasional slip ups and cheat meals. “I love pizza and cheeseburgers,” she says. “As a busy mom of three and with a traveling husband, I may go off the path sometimes but I remind myself and my family that we can do anything in moderation.” Stapp’s workouts, when she can get them in, revolve around yoga or Barre classes and spinning classes. She says that cardio is key for anyone looking to get and stay lean, and recommends working in 5-6 hours of cardio a week when preparing for a special event.
