1. Find a Workout Buddy

Kate is all about the workout buddy system. Lucky for her, she has found a great one in her husband. During the pandemic the two even hosted workouts on their Ferdinand Fitness YouTube channel, revealing easy at-home workouts to stay in shape. "A study from Michigan State University’s Department of Kinesiology found that training with an exercise partner can increase the amount of time you work out. Researchers discovered that participants who biked against a simulated partner on a screen exercised twice as long than the participants who biked alone. A workout buddy is there to challenge and encourage you, but they can also make you work harder and longer than you normally would. This is because, as study author Brandon Irwin, Ph.D. says, '…you don’t want to be the "weak link,"'" says ACE Fitness.

2. Try Meal Delivery

Kate is a subscriber to HelloFresh. After welcoming her son, she started using the meal delivery service and maintains that it has been a game changer. “Dinner done, Courtesy of @hellofreshuk. We've been using Hello Fresh for the last few months and it has made our lives and meals so much easier, especially with a new baby!”

3. Find Outdoor Family Activities

Kate and her family maintain an active lifestyle, staying fit while having fun. One of their go-tos? Bike rides. “Fun morning cycling with the fam,” she captioned this snap.

4. Use a Rowing Machine

Kate is a big fan of indoor rowing workouts. She uses the Hydrow rowing machine in the comfort of her own home. “Action shot…” she captioned this Instagram photo of one of her workouts. Why is so great about rowing? It works almost every muscle in the body and is easy on the joints. And, with the help of a rowing machine that provides workouts, you can get a great cardio workout in with strength training exercises as well.

5. Exercise for Your Mind

Kate works out for mental health benefits. “I’m a lot more relaxed than people think,” she explained to The Daily Star about her workout approach. “Everyone thinks I’m this regimented person who has to go to the gym at 4am every day but I’m not. I love working out, I love feeling active and it’s really good for my mind, but I also have a day off and I don’t beat myself up about it. I don’t cry if I don’t do it.”

6. Do HIIT Workouts

Kate’s go-to workout method is HIIT. “I work out four or five times a week, doing a mixture of ­high-intensity interval training and weights ­depending on how I am feeling. I do squats and lunges and I feel my bum is getting there – it’s a work in progress,” she revealed to The Daily Star.

7. She Does 500 Ab Exercises Per Week

Kate does a lot of ab work. “At the end of every workout, I do an ab ­finisher, which has five ab exercises – 20 of each so 100 in total. I think the best one is the bicycle crunch, which is good for the ­obliques on the side of your body,” she told The Daily Star.

8. Do This Ab Workout

Kate recently demonstrated her exact ab workout in an Instagram video. Most of the moves of her “Ab Blast” series involved using a small medicine ball. “Aim for 20 reps each exercise & repeat. If that’s too much take it down to 10 or 15,” she suggested. “Let me know how you get on.”
