She says that she makes sure to exercise as often as she can. “I try to go twice a week, sometimes three times,” she says. “I have a [trainer] so he helps show me what I have to do to work out the body part I want to work, and if I’m on my own, I run and I do ab [exercises] and a lot of squats!”
4. She Watches Workout Videos
Mittenaere is consistent with her workouts. Even when she’s on the road. She tells People that she likes to watch fitness videos in her hotel. “When I travel, I try to work out before I go to bed,” she says. “I’ll do 10 minutes of abs one day and 10 minutes of butt the next day. There’s a lot of videos on YouTube, and I use 10 minutes to do one part of my body.”
5. She Cooks
Mittenare makes sure to eat a healthy diet. She tells People that one of her secrets is cooking a lot of her meals. “I love food,” she says. “The most important thing is I cook, so I can choose what I want to add, and not use a lot of salt and things like that. I don’t have a diet, but I try to eat a lot during breakfast and lunch and not a lot for dinner.”
