ESPN Host Malika Andrews in Two-Piece Workout Gear is "Jumping Into the Weekend"

Malika Andrews is in mid-air in her workout clothes. In a new social media post the ESPN host shows off her amazing body in a two–piece exercise set during a workout. “Jumping into the weekend with my favorite trampoline class☀️ Half dance. Half cardio. All me trying not to fall,” she captioned the Instagram photo. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Making Exercise a Priority

Andrews, who hosts NBA Today and NBA Countdown on ESPN, travels for more than 60 days a year, has to make exercise a priority. “If I am gone for seven days, I will pack seven workout pieces so that I am at least encouraging myself to [exercise] every single day,” she told Travel + Leisure. “As the daughter of a personal trainer, fitness has always been an important part of my life.”

2. Tea

Malika is such an avid tea drinker that she brings her own bags when she flies. “Most airlines only carry black caffeinated tea, so I travel with my own box of mint tea in my purse at all times,” she tells T + L.

3. She Asked for Help

When Malika was younger she battled an eating disorder. “It doesn’t really fit neatly into a box,” she told NY Post about it. “I struggled with restricting and purging. It is not really anorexia or bulimia. It is more anorexia than bulimia, but it doesn’t fit super neatly into a box, which I learned through my years of treatment that more and more eating disorders don’t fit neatly into a box.” She finally asked for help and went to a therapeutic boarding school when she was 14. “I got to a point that I told my mother, ‘I think I need some help. I don’t think I’m going to be able to figure this out by myself.’”

4. Sleep

Malika understands the importance of sleep. When she travels, she has a hack to maximize her rest in the morning. “When I close the blinds, do they actually close all the way, or is there a gap? If there’s a gap, I go to the closet and get the hangers, and use the clips to make sure the gap closes. If you’re covering the NBA, you know the pregame nap is essential. Sometimes your sleep is kind of funky. You’re up late, or you’re up early for shows. You want to catch that 20 or 30-minute nap in the middle of the day. If there’s a gap in the curtains, we have the hack—but when I don’t have to employ the hack, that’s a good hotel,” she told GQ.

5. Burgers

Malika loves hamburgers. “I try to find a cool restaurant, but I do love a room service burger. A room service burger, medium, is a safe and solid choice. Shrimp cocktail can be a little more hit-or-miss. I’m on the burger side of life,” she told GQ. “I am a Shake Shack girlie. At JFK, I know exactly where the Shake Shack is. Delta Terminal, I’m headed straight there. The dilemma is always when to open the Shake Shack, because you don’t want to be that person eating food on a plane that you know has a fragrance. But this is just a burger, fries, milkshake fragrance. No fish.”

Laura Rutledge is taking her fans through her morning in her workout gear. In a new social media post the ESPN host gives her followers a glimpse into one of her mornings, showing off her amazing body in exercise clothes. “Putting some finishing touches on The Rundown,” she says in the TikTok clip. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Golf

Laura is a golfer. “Amazing time with some of my favorite people for a wonderful cause,” she captioned a post. 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.

2. Pure Barre

Laura told I Want Her Job that she feels her best when, “I am regularly going to Pure Barre,” she says. “It’s almost like a flashback to ballet but not quite as intense. I find it to be such a great workout, and I wish I could do more of it. I try to do pseudo workouts myself, but I do better when I’m in a class because I find more pressure to keep going.” “Barre helps strengthen and tone your muscles without increasing bulk, and it improves your posture. It also increases cardiovascular endurance and metabolism, which helps to quickly burn calories. Regular barre workouts can increase your bone density, which can help prevent conditions like osteoporosis,” explains Barre studio Physique 57.

3. Kayaking

What is her favorite way to spend a day off? “Going to my parents lake house. They have a little cabin that is secluded, in the woods, rustic, and down and dirty. We go kayaking on the lake. It’s a great way to spend time,” she told the podcast. Kayaking is a great workout. Not only is it great for building upper body strength and helps reduce stress, but can burn up to 400 calories per hour, translating to 1,600 calories in four hours of paddling.

4. Immunity Drops

Laura does “a lot of natural things” to avoid getting sick, “I have immune drops that are echinacea and elderberry. I would recommend those to anybody who’s trying to stay healthy and boost their immune system,” she told the podcast.

5. Immunity Juice Shots

“I’m also big on taking immunity juice shots. You can find a juice shop in a lot of places that you go. I’m not someone to drink a whole green juice. I wish I was better at that. But, I’ve found that drinking just a ginger, lemon, cayenne type of shot that’s all packaged together – even though it’s a bit tough to get through – will really be beneficial,” she said.

Monica McNutt is keeping things hot in Grenada in her swimsuit. In one of her latest social media posts shared from a tropical vacation, the ESPN host flaunts her incredible body in a yellow bathing suit. “Sun up, brim down,” she captioned the set of Instagram snaps. “Ok legsss,” commented one of her followers. “I’m here for all swimsuit pictures of Monica!!” added another. How does the sunbathing beauty keep herself fit and happy? She has a few simple health habits she prioritizes on a daily basis.

1. Self-Care and Mindfulness

Monica is all about self-care. “The only [routine] thing I try to be mindful to create for myself is at least one day off a week--- completely off,” Monica told XONecole. “I'm very mindful of that self-care time, which is a dope bath, with Epsom salts, candles, music. The nature of the beast is keeping up---whether it's a game broadcast or a studio broadcast or the podcast. It's important to take that time to recharge.”

2. Regular Gym Workouts

You can Monica at the gym “regularly,” she told the publication. “I travel with gym clothes, and even if I [only] have 20 minutes, I'm going to get that 20 minutes to get some sweat in. As I've gotten older, I start to feel wired and almost anxious. Working out is hugely important to me.”

3. Surrounding Herself with Love

Monica says that keeping an “intimate circle” around is “hugely important” to her. “I kind of argue with them sometimes as to whether I'm an introvert. I don't know! I just draw a lot of energy from solo time. The nature of my career path is to have on the 'on' switch. I don't know if people realize the energy that requires, so when I get to spend time with my man or my friends and do nothing, I relish the opportunity to do nothing. When my time is free, I'm doing nothing, on purpose,” she told the publication.

4. Kettlebells

Monica trains at Harlem Kettlebell Club – a fitness studio specializing in the weights. “I’m big on Wellness & know that looks different for everybody. Personally a good gym session is part of my wellness equation but that doesn’t mean you always love it in midst of it. S/o to @saneetarenee for helping me work off the week on Friday. Make time to take care of yourself, y’all. Be good to you,” she captioned a recent post of her kettlebell workout.

5. Basketball

Basketball is one of Monica’s go-to workouts and actitvities. “Basketball promotes speed, agility, strength, power and endurance. It [has] also been shown to increase flexibility and motor coordination. As a result, basketball is uniquely oriented to improve fundamental motor skills that are shown to be beneficial in promoting general health,” Koco Eaton, M.D., orthopedic surgeon, founder of Eaton Orthopaedics and a former basketball player, tells Nike.
