Ciara Duggan Celebrates "Thick Thighs" in a Stunning Swimsuit Pic

Below Deck Sailing Yacht's Ciara Duggan is ready to up her fitness routine with a little help from her fiancé, Paget Berry. The stunning redhead shared a sun-kissed pic as she posed in a crimson one-piece swimsuit to celebrate "thick thighs and blue skies" while noting that this is just the beginning of her new fitness journey. 

"I've agreed to let @pagetberry start training me and get me in shape... we'll see how this goes," she joked in her caption to the post on August 12. Though anyone can understand the desire to reclaim a healthier lifestyle after quarantine, Ciara shed a little light on why she's embarking on a different health journey alongside Paget. 

"Okay please don't mistake this for a body-shaming post because it's not," she explained in the comment section of her post. "I'm very happy with my body and I'm proud of how far I've come as I went through a very dark and depressing phase many years ago...but it took a lot to dig myself out and there's no way I would ever allow myself to go back tot hat place."

Ciara further outlined that her focus on health and strength is the result of several arduous yachting seasons and a ski accident. "I used to be so much stronger and happier when I was training and after a few yachting seasons of not taking care of myself as much as I should (physically and mentally) and a skiing accident...I just want to get back to being HEALTHY." 

In the end, stunning swimsuit shot or not, Ciara stated, "I really don't care if anyone disagrees with that, it's my decision to make."
