UK TV presenter Kate Ferdinand is getting into the holiday spirit with her friends and family. Ferdinand, 33, shared highlights on social media from the celebrations so far, including a snap of herself wearing purple workout gear while taking a mirror selfie. Another picture shows the star wearing matching PJs with husband Rio Ferdinand. “A fun few weeks ✨,” she captioned the post. Here’s how the busy working mum juggles family and career while taking care of her health and wellness.
Living A Balanced Life
Ferdinand tries to live a balanced, happy life. “My approach is simple,” she told Stir It Up. “I exercise and eat well most of the time so I’m able to enjoy myself and drink a few cocktails when I go on a night out. I would hate to be one of those people who are too scared of living life to the full in case they put on weight. I am proof that if you keep a good routine going and eat sensibly your body will stay on track. It’s so much cleverer than you realise.”
Scheduling Workouts
Ferdinand carves out time in the week for exercise and self-care. "My workout schedule currently revolves around the baby's sleep patterns,” she told Good To Know. “I try to get three Pilates sessions in a week and sometimes manage a weekly visit to the gym. Rio and I tag-team our child-care responsibilities, so I often go to the gym when he’s looking after the kids. If I manage to get a solid hour at the gym without any interruptions, that's a win for me!"
Different Workout Philosophy
Ferdinand has changed the way she exercises after having kids. "Prior to having children, I was very much an exercise enthusiast. Now, while I still enjoy exercise, it is not the be-all and end-all; I just try to fit in whenever possible,” she told Good To Know. “It is still a priority for me, and I try to fit it in at least three times a week because I know how much it benefits my health and wellbeing. However, I’m not as crazy about it as I once was."
Sunday Roast
The Ferdinands try to keep Sundays for the family. “With the boys playing football, it can be a bit sporadic, but we try to have family meals on a Sunday when everyone’s there,” husband Rio tells Heatworld. “Kate cooks an incredible roast– it’s such an ordeal cooking for so many of us, but she nails it.”
Motherhood and her Blended Family
Ferdinand says becoming a mother and stepmother has transformed her life. "Motherhood changed everything for me and has really changed my outlook on life,” she told Good To Know. “You never stop worrying, no matter the age, I think you worry about your children forever. However, the happiness and joy they bring into our lives makes it all worthwhile."
