Gregoraci loves using resistance bands as part of her training routine. "Studies show that there are no benefit changes between machines, free weights, and resistance bands," says Hayden Steele, NSCA-C.P.T., C.S.C.S. "Optimally, they would all be used together [in a training regimen], but when you look at strength benefits, you can't say that dumbbells are more effective than resistance bands. They just offer the same benefits for less money."

2. She Loves To Box

Gregoraci enjoys boxing-based workouts. “Boxing requires the full body to move. From staying on your toes to engaging the core muscles or throwing a jab or a cross, there’s a lot to think about, which makes it great for training both the mind and body,” says trainer Anthony Char. “It’s also a great calorie burner and can often burn more calories than cardio workouts such as running. It’s a fun alternative to traditional cardio workouts like HIIT or swimming.”

3. Tennis

Gregoraci enjoys playing tennis, which is a fun way to get some cardio. “In addition to its physical benefits, tennis has many other advantages," says Daniel Amen, MD. "Though tennis can be a physically demanding sport, it’s considered a non-impact sport. Tennis can be a great way to meet new people or spend more time with friends or family. It can be an enjoyable hobby that helps relieve stress. It’s also a versatile sport suitable for all ages and skill levels."

4. Swimming

Gregoraci enjoys swimming, which is a great low-impact exercise. “Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses,” says the CDC. “This can also lead to improved health for people with diabetes and heart disease.”

5. Cycling

Gregoraci loves outdoor cycling in the fresh air and sunshine. “It’s been shown that cycling reduces anxiety and depression,” says Jaclyn Kubiak, PT, DPT. “Mainly, because you can make it fun. You get the added benefit of being outdoors or you can go do it with friends.” Bicycling is a popular form of exercise that provides a number of health benefits. Some of the potential benefits of cycling include:

1. Cardiovascular fitness: Bicycling is an excellent way to improve cardiovascular fitness because it raises the heart rate and improves blood circulation.
2. Strength and flexibility: Bicycling involves using all of the major muscle groups, which can help to build strength and increase flexibility.
3. Weight loss: Bicycling is a high-intensity workout that can help to burn calories and promote weight loss.
