Pippen has her own YouTube channel dedicated to sharing workout videos. She does a lot of different things to stay in shape. One thing Pippen is a fan of is tabata exercises. She posted this video of herself and her daughter doing a full body tabata workout. In it, they do exercises like jumping jacks, lunges, and hand taps. The Cleveland Clinic reports that tabata has a lot of benefits. “The answer is simple: You’d be hard-pressed finding another workout routine that builds as much cardiorespiratory endurance in as short a time. Studies have shown that devoting a few minutes to Tabata increases cardio and strength more than devoting far more hours to moderate-intensity workouts. It’s a pretty impressive fat burner, too.”

2. She Does HIIT

Another type of workout Pippen likes to do is HIIT, or high-intensity interval training. She shared this video on her YouTube channel of herself doing a full-body HIIT workout. In it, Pippen is seen doing Arnold presses and front squats with hand weights. She’s also doing workouts like mountain climbers and jump squats. AceFitness.org states HIIT has a lot of benefits. “Anaerobic interval training uses the body’s reserves of energy and, after a workout, metabolism stays elevated and continues to burn calories for hours after the workout. This is due to something called the excess post-exercise oxygen consumption (EPOC) effect. With HIIT, you not only burn a lot of calories during the workout, but because of the high intensity you will continue to burn calories as your body replaces energy and repairs muscle proteins damaged during exercise.”

3. She Works Out Her Legs

In it, she is seen doing different kinds of squats, like static lunges, front squats with a shoulder press, and in and out squats with a press, all while holding hand weights. Pippen also does workouts like a hip bridge hold and side plank rotations.

5. She Has Good Eating Habits

On Pippen’s website, she opens up about her wellness routine. One thing she talked about were some of her go-to diet tips and tricks. Pippen says that instead of doing a plan or a crash diet, she focuses on building good habits. “Instead of adapting a regimented diet, change the way you eat and practice healthy eating habits. Find a satisfying eating plan with a menu you can live with long-term, and make sure you’re eating the right amount of calories for weight loss.”
