1. She’s Healthier As She Gets Older

Nielsen embraces aging. In fact, she says to Us Weekly that she’s in much better shape now than she was back then. “I’ve become a stronger person. I have more energy than when I was younger. And I'm much more thoughtful and prepared." When aging, exercise. "Physical activity increases blood flow to your whole body, including your brain. Studies suggest regular exercise is associated with better brain function and reduces stress and depression -- factors that affect memory," says the Mayo Clinic. "Make sure your diet includes high-fiber foods, such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains. Limit high-fat meats, dairy products and sweets, which might cause constipation. Drink plenty of water and other fluids."

2. She Doesn’t Give Up

Nielsen is extremely determined. She says that this extends to her desire to have children. The actress talked about her journey on the talk show, Loose Women, “It’s about not giving up. It’s not for everybody, it’s a long road, it can be very tough. But women who really dream for it don’t give up, but it’s a long road.”

3. She Uses A Rowing Machine

When Nielsen hits the gym, she likes to use a rowing machine to stay in shape. She posted this photo of herself using it on Instagram. She captioned the photo, “Can I still get a medal somewhere? (Be nice.)” "Rowing recruits many muscle groups and can provide a total-body, cardiovascular, muscle-building workout that you should consider adding to your weekly exercise routine. Rowing is also impact-free and non-weight-bearing, which makes it even more appealing because you can work intensely without putting added stress on your joints," says ACE Fitness.

4. She Bike Rides

Nielsen made sure to get the vaccine to protect herself from COVID-19. She encouraged her followers to do the same in this Instagram post. She captioned the post, “Call the shots! The vaccine puts you in charge of our future. Get it done!” "CDC recommends COVID-19 primary series vaccines for everyone ages 6 months and older, and COVID-19 boosters for everyone ages 5 years and older, if eligible," says the CDC. "COVID-19 vaccines available in the United States are effective at protecting people—especially those who are boosted— from getting seriously ill, being hospitalized, and even dying. As with other diseases, you are protected best from COVID-19 when you stay up to date with the recommended vaccines."

One of the tragic yet beautiful calls from her sibling who was trying to flee and stay with her family, was going to go back in and fight to stand strong against PUTIN. That’s the character and moral of Ukrainians. Women refusing to leave as their husbands prepare to fight back.They are beautiful and strong, this will be the biggest refugee situation this century.

Now a mom, she has even more of an obligation to take care of her health and wellness. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Denise Richards stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Gets Her Steps In

Denise is always down to get moving, and walking is one of her favorite workouts. It's low impact, simple, there are amazing views throughout the area, and a little bit everyday can have big benefits on your health and wellness. Plus, it's a great activity she can do with her new husband and her children. "The average American walks 3,000 to 4,000 steps a day, or roughly 1.5 to 2 miles. It's a good idea to find out how many steps a day you walk now, as your own baseline. Then you can work up toward the goal of 10,000 steps by aiming to add 1,000 extra steps a day every two weeks," says the Mayo Clinic. "If you're already walking more than 10,000 steps a day, or if you're fairly active and trying to lose weight, you'll probably want to set your daily step goal higher."

2. She Loves To Hike

Denise really enjoys hiking through her hometown and even while on vacation with her current husband, Aaron Phypers. When the couple were hiking in Montana, Denise posted an incredible view of the landscape on her social media.

3. She Loves Pilates and Dance

Finding what works for you and your body is the hardest thing about picking a workout routine, but for Denise, she figured out fairly quickly that for her it's pilates and dance that work best. “I am very active. I found what works for my body -- everyone's body is different and I think it's best to find what works for you. For me it's Pilates and dance,” she explains.

4. She Splurges On Her Favorites

She doesn't always say no to treats, despite her fit figure. “I do splurge on ice cream and I love pretzels. My abs get the best workout with my Pilates reformer -- I had two C-sections and it was the only thing I found that got my tummy flat,” she said. Portion control is key. “My cheat food is ice cream, but I found these tiny snack-size cones that Haagen-Dazs came out with.”

5. She Sticks To Mostly Vegetarian

She tries to stay mostly vegetarian, but will indulge in some meat sometimes. “My diet is 80 percent vegetarian and I eat all day long. I have lots of little meals; it's best for me,” she said. “I found eating three big meals I felt too full and got tired especially after lunch. I eat lots of fruit, veggies, egg whites, oatmeal, a little chicken, eggs, rice -- that's mostly my diet.”
