Carrie Bickmore in Workout Gear Trains "Alongside a Drone"

Carrie Bickmore is getting ready for her marathon – in her workout clothes. In a new social media post the Australian television presenter flaunts her amazingly fit figure in leggings and a white tank during a run. “Training alongside a drone was going beautifully until it attacked me at the end 🤣🤣🤣 🤦‍♀️ (P.S my hoodie looks like a giant nappy)” she captioned the Instagram video. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Exercise for Body and Mind

Carrie exercise for the physical and mental health benefits. “I am happier when I am active. Both my physical and mental health feels better when I move," she told Mamamia. 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.

2. Making Fitness Fun

Carrie makes fitness a family afraid. "Most of my exercise this year has been with the kids, running, riding bikes, heading down to the athletics track. I knew it was important for my kids to move for their own mental health so I pushed through my own tiredness as much as I could and got them outside,” she told Mamamia.

3. Dancing

“We love nothing better than a dance in the kitchen in our family! It’s a great mood lifter and a 20 min boogie to Fleetwood Mac burns as much energy as a 20K run. (Don’t check that fact 😜)” Carrie captioned a recent post. Dancing is a great workout for many reasons. 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.

4. Healthy Eating

"Every day is different,” when it comes to Carrie’s diet. “I tend to eat healthy most of the time but we always have a takeaway on the weekend and you don't have to ask me twice for a block of chocolate or lollies,” she told the publication. "With three kids and a crazy life, I have weeks where I am good at eating well and taking all my vitamins and then there are weeks where everything unravels and I get out of my routine - but I never regret eating well and getting some exercise in.”

5. Supplements

Carrie takes supplements. "I have always been iron deficient so I take iron tablets. Living in Melbourne I am lacking in vitamin D so I try to remember to take my vitamin D tablets as well, and when I am training, I like to take magnesium,” she told the publication.

6. Running

In her recent post, Carrie shows off her running skills. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.
