Full House Star Candace Cameron Bure in Bikini Has “Vacation Mode On”
Candace Cameron Bure is enjoying a getaway in her bikini. In a new social media post, the Full House star shows off her incredible body in a bikini while on vacation with her family on the beach. “Vacation mode: ON 😎☀️💛,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does the star, 49, stay so fit? Here are all of her diet and fitness hacks.
She Exercise for Mental Health
Candace exercises not just for the physical benefits, but to “keep my mental health clear,” she told The Salvation Army. “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. “That’s why I keep going. There are a lot of benefits I get. My mind is most important, and exercise definitely helps that.”
She Jump Ropes
Candace enjoys jump roping. “First, whips hurt. Second, this is the first time doing 12 double-unders in a row. Whoo Hoo! Does a jump in between still make it count? Just say YES 👍🏼! I’m learning,” she captioned a post. “P.S. some people have said my rope is too long, however I ordered a rope for exactly my height. When I stand on it, it comes just underneath my armpit- which is where it should land. Still think it’s too long?” Why should you give jump roping a try? “Not only can the repetitive movement of skipping rope elevate your heart rate, work muscles in the arms and legs and burn calories, it may even provide a quick jolt of joy,” says Nike.
She Mixes Up Her Workouts
She also tries to do different workouts. “I try to work out four to five times a week. I mix it up a lot, so it stays interesting to me,” Candace told Parade. Each week, adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans
She Strength Trains and Does HIIT
Candace engages in a variety of strength training and HIIT workouts. “I swear by push-ups: wide grip, tricep, dolphin, inclined, declined, you name it. My arms, shoulders, and back have really changed from constantly doing them,” she said. There is a wealth of research supporting the benefits of HIIT workouts, including body fat reduction, improved cardiovascular function, and enhanced mental health. It is also time-effective.
She Follows a Mediterranean Diet
Candace eats clean. “I follow a more Mediterranean diet, so I eat lots of fresh vegetables and whole grains and fish,” she told People, adding that she’s cut dairy and sugar out of her diet. “I see the biggest effect from not eating as much sugar.”
