Hiking “a great whole-body workout—from head to toe and everything in between,” according to the National Parks Service, offers tons of health benefits.

It also offers many mental health benefits, according to a Stanford University study.

2. Play Tennis

Brooke plays tennis, which is not only a great workout but also a social one. Running around the court offers both cardio and aerobic exercise and hitting the ball also improves hand-eye coordination. "While tennis provides numerous health benefits—improved aerobic fitness and anaerobic endurance, muscular fitness (grip strength and endurance), flexibility, multiple skill parameters (balance, speed, agility and quickness), reactivity, and power—it also is psychologically demanding," ACE Fitness says.

3. Meal Prep

If you want to eat healthy like Brooke, meal prep. She regularly shares photos of her meals, which she eats out of plastic containers that appear to be portioned out ahead of time. There is scientific evidence supporting the benefits of meal planning. Studies the more meals you eat prepared away from home, the higher your risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and early death. And, one study published in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity found meal planning was associated with a healthier diet and less obesity.

Brooke, who was raised in a conservative Christian family, relies on God for guidance and often mentions the bible in her posts. Her Instagram profile quotes ​​1 Corinthians 13: 1-7: “Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.”

5. Hit the Dance Floor

As a YouTuber, Brooke’s business-meets-pleasure form of fitness is dancing, which is a surprisingly good workout. 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.

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.

3. She Tries to Be the “Bigger Person” with Haters

Does Brooke read comments from her followers? “Oh yes, I definitely do! I used to respond a lot more and then after a while, you realize that it isn't worth it. There are so many more positive comments than negative ones,” she told The Teen Magazine. So sometimes I get particularly frustrated, and I'll type out a long response, but then I remind myself, ‘Just put your phone down! Come back in 10 minutes and let it go, it's not worth it.’ Usually, I'm the bigger person! But some days... I'm like ‘You know what, you're going to get it today!’”

In the video, Brooke lays on her side, propping herself up on her arm with her legs bent and does “what is essentially a variation of a side crunch,” says Philadelphia-based trainer Kendra Gamble of HIT Fitness. The low impact exercise is a great way to strengthen the entire tummy.

2. Here’s How to Do It

“So here’s what it is going to look like,” Brooke says in the clip. “You are going to crunch and straighten and crunch,” she says, recommending “15 on each leg.” She adds: “Point your toes and reach, make sure you are engaging your core.”

3. What Muscles Does it Work?

What muscles does it work? “The way she’s doing it specifically works the internal and external obliques, which are core muscles,” says Gamble. She does note that side crunches aren’t going to be the miracle move to get rid of love handles. “Only diet does that,” she reminds. “You can’t spot reduce fat.”

4. Who Should Do the Exercise

Gamble says it is a great exercise for beginners, “who don’t work out much,” because it can help them learn how to activate their core to get stronger core muscles and help them understand what’s really working. However, she wouldn’t recommend side crunches to a person with a spinal injury like a herniated disc.

5. Why Working Out in the Morning Is a Good Idea

As for the early morning workout, Brooke is definitely onto something. A 2023 study published in the journal Obesity found that early morning sweat sessions — between 7 a.m. and 9 a.m. — could help with weight loss. According to their research, people who did moderate to vigorous exercise in the morning had lower body mass indexes than people who exercised at midday or in the evening. “Working out in the morning is beneficial because you are rested and refreshed and your body is full of energy,” Gamble adds. “If you work out in the morning it sets the tone for the day giving you more energy.” And, “most people when they save a workout for after work they end up not doing it because they are tired.”

Brooke Burke is recapping her weekend and challenging her followers to a workout. In a few new social media posts the fitness guru shows off her flat abs and fit figure in workout wear. “Weekend recap.

Here is everything you need to know about her routine.

1. Here Is Brooke’s Plank Challenge

Brooke recommends doing the following exercises 10 times each and repeating the set three times.

• Plank crunch
• Plank spider
• Plank twist
• Plank lunge tap

2. Mediterranean Diet

Brooke recently explained to Celebwell that she avoids fad diets, because she maintains a healthy lifestyle 365 days per year. “I don't like the word diet. It’s all about building a sustainable, enjoyable, healthy lifestyle,” she revealed to us. Instead, she sticks to a Mediterranean-style eating plan. “I have healthy fats such as olive oil and avocados, vegetables, lean proteins, beans, and nuts,” she revealed. Sometimes she will start her day with a shake. Others, she will eat a grilled salmon salad or some type of protein salad. “I love cobb salad,” she adds. For dinner, she likes fish or a filet mignon with crunchy vegetables. She also enjoys the occasional spirit. “I might have a glass of vino or, if I'm being more health conscious, a tequila-based drink,” she says. “I’m restricting my alcohol intake right now and not drinking any alcohol during the week.”

3. Intermittent Fasting

“I intermittent fast most every day,” Brooke dished to us. “I give myself a resting window of 16 hours, and I eat in an eight-hour window. It's 1:30p right now and I'm breaking my fast. I'm having a shake which is high in calories and in fat, which is totally okay. It has protein, matcha, MCT oil, dates, almond butter, one Tru Niagen stickpack, collagen powder, and cinnamon.”

4. At-Home Fitness

"I am all about the convenience of the digital gym,” Brooke says about her preference when it comes to the gym versus at-home workouts. “That’s one of the good things the pandemic taught us…we can get a great workout from the comfort anin the safety of our own homes.” This is the main reason she started Brooke Burke Body. “I wanted to create something that was accessible to everyone. It sounds crazy but you really can do short 10–20-minute, intense workouts that help you sculpt and tone your body,” she continues. “The app has workouts ranging from 5 minutes to 50 minutes and it is inexpensive at just $9.99 a month. You can even try it for free for a week. But whether it’s my app or free content you find online, take the time to get your body moving. It’s not only good for the body, but also for the mind.”

5. Body Sculpting

Brooke shares a variety of workouts on her Brooke Burke Body app. “I believe in body sculpting. I believe in movement of all kinds. I do enjoy lifting weights and cardio, but you don’t have to sweat for hours to reshape your body,” she said.
