Debbe Dunning is golfing in her workout gear. In a new social media post the Home Improvement Tool Time girl shows off her fantastic figure at 57. “Have you been practicing? I feel like your swinging has improved a lot. Great job! You’d be beautiful doing anything but it’s clear you’ve been working and your swing sure looks nice!! ⛳️,” she captioned the Instagram clip. “Golf queen,” commented one of her followers. How does the star approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
1. Hiking and Rock Climbing
Dunning loves to hike and regularly explored trails and mountains on her show, Dude Ranch Round-Up. “One that comes to mind was at Arkansas’ Horseshoe Canyon Ranch. I was told we were going to go on a little hike, so I threw on some tennis shoes and my little workout outfit. I started getting harnessed in, and I’m like, ‘what kind of hike is this?’ I was literally scaling a flat span of rock, super high up on the mountain. I was clipped in, looking down, and thinking, ‘oh my gosh.’ I remember rappelling, traversing, and holding on for dear life, glancing down, saying, ‘You can do this,” she told Cowgirl Magazine. “When I got back to my room, I was like, ‘Oh my gosh, I can’t believe I did that.’ When I laid in bed, it was ‘Oh my gosh, I did it.’”
2. Strength Training
Dunning spends a lot of time in the gym doing strength and weight training. “Take care of it & it will take care of you,” she wrote about one session, doing various exercises with a kettlebell and free weights. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:
- Develop strong bones
- Manage your weight
- Enhance your quality of life
- Manage chronic conditions
- Sharpen your thinking skills
3. Roller Skating
Debbe, who lives near the beach, loves roller skating. “Strand skating in October! California summer’s never end💋🛼 #endlesssummer,” she captioned a video.
4. Skiing
Debbe takes breaks from the sun and goes skiing in the mountains. “Traded the sun for some snow! Great time with friends on the slopes🎿 Now time to cozy up by the fire,” she captioned a post. Research has linked downhill skiing to a number of health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress and the occurrence of memory deficits declines.
5. Golf
Debbe is an avid golfer and shares a lot of posts from the green. A comprehensive review published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that golf's health benefits are extensive, including mind, body, and even lifespan. Benefits include improved longevity, decreased risk of developing heart disease or suffering a stroke, good mental health, and improved strength and balance.
