Baywatch Star Brooke Burns In Cute Gym Gear Says “Work Hard, Play Hard”

1. Self-Care Exercise

Burns considers working out the ultimate form of self-care. “I love getting outside in the morning,” she told Women’s Running. “It helps me start my day with a really healthy outlook and with a great endorphin rush. Selfishly, I love getting up and getting it done. I grew up in a fit family, and my parents set a really great example for me. I never thought, ‘Oh, I have to go work out.’ It was more of a lifestyle. I’m all about the idea of elongating my life by doing little things. If it’s a busy week, I’d rather carve out 10 or 15 minutes to exercise rather than wait for the timing to be perfect.”

2. Outdoor Workouts

Burns loves hiking, sprinting, and swimming. “I live in the city so, when it’s workout time, I seek out nature,” she told Healthy Living. “It’s one of the best things about living in Cali. You have the mountains and the ocean at your fingertips, even in the same day if you want! The weather is pretty much beautiful year round, so there are NO excuses not to get out there and make it happen. My favorite core workout? SUP! Aka, Stand Up Paddling. Some of my friends take the boards into big waves, but you can get a mean workout on one of these boards, even on a lake.”

3. Banana-Almond Smoothie

Burns enjoys coffee and green smoothies for energy throughout the day. “I’m a coffee addict. I’ll have a hot latte in the morning, but then, when it reaches room temperature, I’ll pop it in the fridge and have the rest as iced coffee in the afternoon,” she told Women’s Running. “I’m a big smoothie girl. My go-to is a green smoothie with banana and almonds. I also eat a lot of oatmeal, especially when it gets cold outside. I like to get creative with my oatmeal by sneaking in a little vanilla and cinnamon and brown sugar, in moderation.”

4. Don’t Forget To Stretch

Burns knows how important stretching is before workouts. “A big one we often forget… Stretch!” she told Healthy Living. “Sometimes you have to treat your body like a kid. You need to give it a heads up about what the plan is going to be. Like, “Hey body, you’re about to climb a mountain, so let’s warm up, prep those muscles and stretch it out.” You may need to motivate and encourage your body before you take on the challenge.”

5. Diving Accident

Burns, who survived a near-fatal diving accident in 2005, is a strong believer in destiny. “Maybe that’s my way of accepting that maybe there is a plan already laid out for us in some way,” she told The Mercury News. “And it’s probably married to the choices you make along the way and where that leads you … I believe in something greater than flesh and bone. It’s always been something I’ve experienced, even as a child. There’s a bigger driving force and purpose to everything — or maybe that just means I’m a hopeless romantic. I’ve always felt — even in my tragedies — that I have walked in some kind of favor.”

1. She Paddleboards

Stand up paddleboarding really works your core, as Bure knows. Try it. “You can SUP just about anywhere and at any level, from elite level athlete racing to beginner classes and personal instruction at local parks. If there’s a body of water, you’re likely to find a SUP workout class or rental company nearby. Or you can buy or rent your own online or at just about any outdoor recreation store,” says ACE Fitness.

2. Exercise Gets Her Endorphins Going

"Just sweating that out and all those endorphins really help me a lot. I notice a huge difference when I don’t exercise, how much it can affect me mentally and kind of deal with depression," she said, according to Prevention. "That's why I keep going. There are a lot of benefits I get. My mind is most important, and exercise definitely helps that."

3. Health and Fitness Have Always Been a Part of Her Life

“Health and fitness have always been a big part of my life, even growing up, especially growing up in front of the cameras,” she told Livestrong. “But what changed is I found my enjoyment for health and fitness probably when I hit my thirties. So it was something that was always a part of my life, but it always felt more like a struggle and like, oh, I, I have to go work out today. Or, you know, I can't, I shouldn't eat this, I can't eat this and I should be eating this and it was always kind of a downer in a way. And then it doesn't hurt to be married to a professional athlete so my husband was always very encouraging because fitness obviously has been a huge part of his life and career.”

4. Find the Kinds of Exercises You Love

“In my thirties, I finally found the types of exercises that I really liked. And then especially having had my children, I felt so many changes in my body and then finding fitness that really worked for me and then made a difference for me physically and mentally was a game changer. Growing up. I always thought, oh, I have to go to a gym and I have to get on the treadmill or the StairMaster. And it was so boring. Like I hated it, but I would just plug away at my 45 minutes on a machine. And then when I found classes, not necessarily at my gym, but like spin class and Pilates and barre class, I realized how much I enjoyed working out with other people. I liked the energy in there and I thought, oh, these are amazing exercises and I'm not bored. And there's great music. And that's what changed everything for me. I also found out how much I loved lifting weights too. That's my favorite thing. Like I love strength training,” she told Livestrong.

5. Work Hard but Slow Down When Necessary

Candace is spiritual. “Competing on Dancing with the Stars was unquestionably the hardest I’ve ever worked physically,” Candace wrote in her book, Healthy In The Hustle: An Inspirational Wellness Journal. “I had to give it my all because I really didn’t know how to dance. Fortunately, I was paired with a great partner, and I was willing to work my dancing shoes off, and it ended up being a great experience. It turns out, I haven’t always known how to rest either. I’ve needed a strong Partner to walk me through the steps and teach me to flow freely with 'the unforced rhythms of grace.' The one pointer I can give you from DWTS and my journey with Jesus is, follow your Partner's lead. When He tells you to slow down, ease up….”

1. She Exercises

What is Brooke’s favorite workout? “Anything that makes me sweat! When I've completed an intense workout session and I leave the gym puffing and sweating - I feel like I've got somewhere,” she told Buro. She particularly enjoys HIIT workouts. “I love F45 so if I have a big shoot I might throw in an extra class if I can!

2. Her Diet Is Healthy

Brooke dished about her diet to Husskie. “For breakfast either toast, eggs and avo or coconut yoghurt, muesli and berries or a smoothie. Lunch is either tuna on a cracker, some protein and salad, or a yummy roll. Dinner I like to mix it up – we love salmon and veggies but I cook lots of different things: pho, curry, stir frys, healthy schnitzels etc.” she said.

3. Chocolate Is Her Guilty Pleasure

What is Brooke’s cheat food? “One hundred percent, without a doubt chocolate,” she told Buro. “I am a chocolate lover and always have been. I could eat it for breakfast haha! (but seriously). In my opinion everything in moderation is fine and I never deprive myself of things that I love. If I feel like chocolate, I'll have some, just in moderation of course!”

4. She Mixes Up Workouts

What is Brooke’s number one exercise tip? Mix up your workouts. “Don't do the same thing every day. Find something you actually enjoy doing. If you hate running and you set your alarm for 5am to go for a 5k run, you'll most likely snooze and not want to get up. Do things that you enjoy and will make you excited to get up and get moving. For me I love F45, when my alarm goes off in the morning I look forward to getting up and going to class!” she told Buro.

5. She Makes Fitness a Priority

Brooke makes exercise a priority. “I work out four to five days a week for about 30 to 50 minutes,” she told Women’s Health. She even works out when she is on the road. “When I travel, I’ll maybe do a 10-minute workout in my hotel room to get my body moving; or a two-minute plank, a couple of push-ups and even just stretches. I try to take a skipping rope and also booty bands in my suitcase, which are super light and easy to transport,” she added.

6. She Also Loves Pilates

Brooke has another favorite workout. “I really love pilates; it’s sort of like meditation for me – my time to refresh my mind, re-energize, switch off and put my focus on being in the moment,” she added to Women’s Health.

Kate Upton is working out in her swimsuit! The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition model turned actress shows off her phenomenal figure and weightlifting skills in a new Instagram video shared by her personal trainer, Ben Bruno. In it, she wears a bathing suit as she pumps iron in the water. How does the stunner maintain her fit physique? Read on to see 6 ways Kate Upton stays in shape and the photos that prove they work—and to get beach-ready yourself, don't miss these essential 30 Best-Ever Celebrity Bikini Photos!

1. She Goes Hard…and Allows Herself to Recover

Bruno, known for his snarky sense of humor makes a valid point about his star client in his latest video: She works hard and rests hard. “We all know the importance of rest and recovery, but @kateupton took it to a whole new level and invented the ‘mid-workout nap’. This is genius. She’s been getting personal records left and right in the gym, so I’m definitely gonna try it out myself and with the rest of my clients. As she likes to say: ‘work hard, nap hard’,” he captioned the video. “PS: Those squat jumps in the pool and the barbell-loaded hamstring bodycurls are no joke. Seriously impressive stuff.”

2. She Does Pool Workouts

This isn’t the first time Kate has done a pool workout. “The pool workouts look easy, but they’re actually really tough. Here’s a clip of the hand weight circuit and the bar circuit, but we also do a bunch of lower body stuff, and sometimes we’ll bring the KBox or some dumbbells out by the pool and do a mix of weights and pool stuff,” he wrote alongside another Instagram video of one of her sessions.

3. She Prioritizes Exercise

Bruno told Cosmopolitan that Kate works out five times a week. Her sessions are one to two hours long and consist of strength training exercises like a mix of deadlifts, hip thrusts, lunges, rows, and sled pulls, that work her entire body. "A lot of girls are scared to do strength training because they fear that they're going to bulk up, but if you do the right stuff and focus on the right exercises, it actually helps tighten everything up. Kate has really tightened up her physique noticeably as she's gotten stronger,” he explained.

4. Her Diet Is Clean

According to Bruno “Nutrition is more than half the battle,” when it comes to Kate. “She committed to both the training and the eating right from the get-go, and that's why she's seeing such great results." She eats mostly lean protein and veggies, avoiding added sugars and processed foods. "That's been key," Bruno explained. "If you limit sugar and processed food, that takes care of most of the problems." She also loves smoothies and a glass of wine on occasion. “I don't want it to feel like an unbearable diet. There's not a set cheat day or anything like that, but she does have treats here and there,” he says.

5. She Has Workout Buddies-Slash-Competition

Kate has both a workout buddy and competitor in Chelsea Handler, another one of Bruno’s celebrity clients. The girls are constantly tagging each other in workout videos, trying to one-up each other.

6. Her Lifestyle Is Active

Even when she isn’t in the gym, Kate maintains an active lifestyle. She loves hiking, swimming, tennis, riding horses, and even rock climbing, sharing images of her adventures on social media. She also does aerial yoga.
