Ali Wentworth in Workout Gear Says "The Music Just Moves Me"

Ali Wentworth is getting her sweat on in her workout clothes. In a new post the actress and comedian who is married to George Stephanopoulos, shows off her fit figure and impressive dance moves during a workout session. "I'm supposed to be lifting weights, but music just moves me….." she captioned the clip. "Yes. Ali at the gym. Doing gym things. HER way," commented Paulina Porizkova. "This is amazing," added Kira Stokes. 

In her latest post, Ali demonstrates the physical health benefits of dancing. Dancing is a great workout for many reasons. Not only does it build strength and promote flexibility, but helps you lose weight and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.

Ali revealed in the same post that she lifts weights. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

• Develop strong bones
• Manage your weight
• Enhance your quality of life
• Manage chronic conditions
• Sharpen your thinking skills

When detailing her morning to  Bon Appetit, Ali revealed that he starts with coffee then moves on to tea in the morning. "I have to have a cup of PG Tips tea because I can't even function without it," she told Bon Appetit. She then drinks a glass of fresh squeezed OH and then moves onto steel-cut oatmeal with brown sugar and cream. "Yes, I said it, ladies: brown sugar and cream."

Ali also walks her dogs. "Is it sexy? No. Is it warm? Hell yes. At a certain age is that the priority? Oh yeah…. #AdultOnesie #TheNewbikiniShot," she joked in a post wearing a onesie. "For those who keep asking (this is not a promotion) my onesie is from @canadagoose." Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Ali meditates. "Going into 2024 full Zen…." she captioned a post of herself. "When you meditate, you may clear away the information overload that builds up every day and contributes to your stress," says the Mayo Clinic. Benefits include:
