Lauren Gardner, a well-known sports reporter recognized for her MLB coverage, is dedicated to maintaining her health and fitness. Last month, Gardner took to Instagram to share highlights from her trip to Greece, where she explored the stunning landscapes of Naxos Island. In one post, she is pictured hiking through the mountainous terrain, embracing her active lifestyle while enjoying the beauty of nature. From hiking to staying grateful, here’s how Gardner stays fit and energized.


She Hikes

As you can see from her post, Gardner likes to go hiking to keep herself in shape. According to Piedmont, it has a lot of health benefits. “Hiking can help you manage your weight. It is a joint-friendly form of exercise that can keep arthritis sufferers more limber and mobile. Being outside in the sunshine provides the body with vitamin D.”

She Works With A Trainer

Gardner documents her fitness journey on her Instagram. In this post, she revealed that she sought the help of personal trainers. “Evolve or Repeat. It’s been a fun journey unlocking new levels of my fitness capabilities over the past two and a half months. Thank you @thestrengthclubnyc @kennysantucci @kristiemuller and @lovedanib for helping me realize my own strengths.”

She runs

In the previous Instagram post, Gardner is seen running on the treadmill. FloTrack reports that running has a lot of benefits. “Running has proved to increase your bone mass and prevent age-related bone loss. This exercise helps build up your bones and joints. While the repeated contact between the ground can be harder on some people’s knees, running has been proved to assist in knee strength as well.”

She’s Grateful

Gardner is extremely grateful for the life she has. She opened up about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Every decision (good or bad) has led me to this place of joy, love and continued growth. Grateful for each moment and its purpose.”

She Loves Coffee

Gardner loves to drink coffee to help her stay healthy. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Wonder how I can keep going at this pace?….. @strongcoffeecompany provides energy, focus and nutrition on the GO with ZERO jitters. Can’t believe I have energy for a workout on the road but it’s happening thanks to Strong Coffee and motivation and guidance from the @thestrengthclubnyc.”
