Holden’s incredible figure does come from working out, but not from working out at the gym. She tells Hello! Magazine, "I like to keep active. But I can't stand gyms.” Says the Mayo Clinic: "The Department of Health and Human Services recommends that healthy adults include aerobic activity and strength training in their fitness plans, specifically:
- At least 150 minutes of moderate aerobic activity or 75 minutes of vigorous aerobic activity a week, or an equivalent combination of moderate and vigorous aerobic activity
- Strength training exercises of all the major muscle groups at least twice a week."
2. She Works Out With Her Family
Holden says that doing activities with her family helps her to stay active, especially during lockdown. "As a family we've not let this lockdown stop us from exercising," she said on Instagram. "It's actually become an essential hour of our daily lives. Whether it's a home workout, a bike ride, a run or even a walk around the park – working up a sweat is good for your mind, body and soul."

Holden is an active runner, and made sure to go out for a run during the lockdown. She says to Hello! Magazine, “I like to run for an hour a week, as I feel great afterwards. It's also time to myself, which is worth its weight in gold."

Holden tells Hello! Magazine that she aims to live a life with no regrets, and that includes dieting. "I eat everything. Drink everything. I had a friend once who didn’t make it to her 50s and her biggest regret was she spent her life on a diet. I don't diet."
