1. She Prioritizes Exercise

Bure tells The Salvation Army that she makes working out a priority in her life. "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. That's why I keep going. There are a lot of benefits I get. My mind is most important, and exercise definitely helps that."

2. She Jumps Rope

Bure likes to jump rope. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing it, captioning it, “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 😜. #jumprope - 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?”

3. She Does Push-Ups

Bure shared some of her favorite exercises with Parade. She says that there’s one exercise that she goe to a lot. "I swear by push-ups,” Bure revealed. “Wide grip, tricep, dolphin, inclined, declined, you name it. My arms, shoulders, and back have really changed from constantly doing them.”

4. She Eats Healthy

Bure makes sure to eat healthy. She opened up about her diet in an interview with People. “I eat a very plant and grain-based diet,” she said. “I follow a more Mediterranean diet, so I eat lots of fresh vegetables and whole grains and fish. I don’t eat dairy very often, and I’ve cut most of the sugar out of my diet — I see the biggest effect from not eating as much sugar.”

5. She Works With A Trainer

As you can see from her post, Bure works with a trainer. According to ACE Fitness, training has a lot of benefits. “Working with a trainer allows you to become confident with how to perform exercises, use machines and navigate the facility. After a few sessions, you will feel ready to tackle the weight room on your own. Even better, an ego boost during exercise can promote stronger self-confidence and self-efficacy, which can help you stick with your exercise program over the long term.”
