Bullock also likes to exercise while getting some vitamin day. "When I'm in Austin, I run or ride a bike," she told InStyle. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. "For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories," they say. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is excellent for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.

Then we alternate between 10-minute intervals of high-intensity cardio and strength training moves that focus on different body parts."
