New,York,,Ny,-,December,8,,2021:,Gayle,King,AttendsShutterstock

CBS Mornings host, Gayle King, shared her best piece of advice with The Cut. “‘Don’t sweat the small stuff’ sounds like a cliché, but it takes a lot to get me really angry or freaked out about anything. I’m a really solutions-oriented person, so you present me with a problem and I try to figure out, okay this has happened, what do we do, and how do we fix it.”

5. Mika Brzenzinki

New,York,,Ny,Usa,-,February,25,,2017:,Mika,BrzezinskiShutterstock

Morning Joe host, Mika Brzezinski opened up about how her approach to fitness has changed to MSNBC. “I viewed it as a vehicle to staying slim. I loved running, but it was always more of a weight on me because of the pressure to be slim. Somewhere along the way, it stopped being fun. I'm not proud of my lifestyle and health during my 20s and 30s especially, and I counsel young women to try to avoid these painful mistakes. I am really glad I was able to pull myself out of it, but it took many many years to really find my way to good health.”

6. Whoopi Goldberg

7. Oprah Winfrey

Oprah Winfrey told People that she turned to Weight Watchers to help with her weight. “Weight Watchers is easier than any other program I’ve ever been on. It’s a lifestyle, a way of eating and a way of living that’s so freeing. You never feel like you are on a diet and it works.”

Tamron Hall shared her secrets for working out on the road with Women’s Health. “I always travel with my workout DVDs. I am not a big gym person, so the DVDs are perfect for me. I have a fit ball (soft ball) and a resistance band that I use along with the videos. I have been in love with workout tapes since the 90s and Cindy Crawford and her trainer Radu changed my life. I still own the tape but I don’t have a VHS player!”

12. Savannah Guthrie

Beverly,Hills,-,Feb,24:,Savannah,Guthrie,At,The,2019Shutterstock

Today Show host, Savannah Guthrie, shared her approach to dieting with Marie Claire. "I'm not anti-carbs; I just try to do my carbs early in the day, so by the end of the day, I try to be carb-free," Guthrie explained. "And then on Friday and Saturday nights, I eat and drink anything I want. I don't think you can do this job or parenthood without caffeine, a little wine and dessert."

13. Jane Pauley

Los,Angeles,-,Apr,29:,Jane,Pauley,At,The,45thShutterstock

Sunday Morning host, Jane Pauley, talked about what made her decide to return to TV to AARP.org. “My son Tom would see me sitting on the sofa in the years when I wasn't working. He was in his early 20s at the time and he sent me a beautiful email, the gist of which was: ‘Mom, it's time to make something happen.’ That really struck me, this idea of having a sense of agency and ownership of my life; that in my 50s and beyond, I could create an opportunity, I could be entrepreneurial. Until then, I had seen myself as lucky. I was saying yes to opportunities, which I do recognize as a strength. But getting off the couch meant taking charge of my life and decisions, and that's when things got really interesting. OK, things aren't working? Make something happen, Jane!”

14. Katie Couric

Katie Couric shared some of her favorite meals in an interview with Bon Appetit. “I try to have a healthy breakfast, which is usually a piece of sprouted wheat toast and some peanut butter, or some cereal that doesn't have much sugar in it—or any sugar—or some oatmeal or an egg. I try to get my daughter to eat something healthy as well. [When I cook eggs] I either hard boil them or fry them in a tiny bit of oil. I don't really make them that much, truth be told. For cereal, I have Shredded Wheat, sometimes Kashi Go Lean. Sometimes regular Cheerios. I'm trying to eat more steel cut oatmeal. I add blueberries and bananas, and some warm skim milk foamed with my steamer; sometimes 1 % milk.”

15. Joan Lunden

While fighting through cancer, Joan Lunden shared this post on her website talking about the things she is doing to stay healthy. “Support your detoxification with cysteine-rich foods, onions, chives, scallions, cruciferous veggies, eggs, small amounts of avocado (remember 1/8 of an avocado is a serving – don’t get carried away). Green tea is a great detoxifying tea and it helps burn body fat for energy. Most experts advise drinking three cups a day. Nutrients from plant-based foods are all good detoxifiers.”

16. Natalie Morales

Los,Angeles,-,Apr,20:,Natalie,Morales,At,The,2017Shutterstock

Today host, Natalie Morales, shared some of her favorite workouts with the show’s website. “I hike a few times a week with my buddy Kit Hoover at one of the canyon trails nearby.

I try to squeeze a little exercise in at least 5-6 times a week.”

17. Amy Robach

20/20 and GMA host, Amy Robach, is all about being comfortable with herself. She talked about this on the Bulletproof Radio podcast. "I'm proud of it, I work hard for it.

18. Lara Spencer

Los,Angeles,-,Sep,18:,Lara,Spencer,At,The,2016Shutterstock

GMA host, Lara Spencer, shared her workout secrets with HELLO! "Here and there, if I've been naughty, I'll jump on the elliptical but I really don't go crazy. Life is too short.

19. Kit Hoover

Access Hollywood host, Kit Hoover, shared her workout secrets with Woman’s World. “Running is the best stress reliever for my body and mind, but now that my knees have begun to hurt, I’m doing 30 minutes on my bike. But any exercise works! I suggest running, walking or biking to a song, then taking a break for a song, then going again to another song!”
