I eat for a living, so working out is definitely part of my job, the same way that the eating, tasting, and drinking is. I try to keep up a consistent workout routine, but I'm not the kind of person who goes to the gym every day and does the same routine.
I have managed to stay fit all thanks to my habits. I train regularly and have maintained great fitness habits.
One of the big things I've learned is that there's an advantage to regular low-intensity activity.
Finding a convenient exercise routine is the key, because you're much more likely to stick with it.
A dog is the only exercise machine you cannot decide to skip when you don't feel like it.
I used to think that if I didn't have time to do an hour long workout class, there wasn't any point in exercising. But now, I make sure to do a little something every day: a brisk walk for 10 minutes, climbing stairs instead of taking the elevator. Then a few times a week, I do a longer workout.
Oh my God, Zumba is the greatest invention ever for women. I like to exercise, though I do nothing consistently because I get bored and impatient. With Zumba, you're dancing, you're moving your hips. So much fun.
I always stay active, even if I'm on vacation.
I put working out on my calendar as if it were a part of my job. It makes exercise as important a priority as brushing my teeth - something I need to do every day.
You need to stick to a workout that fits into your lifestyle, targets your body issues, but also correlates to your objectives, whether you're at home, on vacation, in the office, or on the road.
I've lived nearby since 1981 and probably have averaged one run a week there. That's more than 1,000 repetitions, and I have yet to tire of this course.
These days, I am the most boring, methodical runner. I always do the same three- to five-mile loop near my home every evening. I hardly ever miss a day. On the weekends, I might go longer or add in weights.
