Toni Braxton In Workout Gear Walks For “My Lupus Fam”

Jodie Ounsley is a true powerhouse, balancing multiple roles as a Gladiators star known as Fury, podcast host of Stronger Than You Think, and a former athlete. Ounsley regularly trains with her dad, sharing their workouts on social media. In a recent Instagram post, she posted a video of them running together on a track. “Dad n’ daughter training days,” she captioned, showcasing her love for fitness and family bonding. How does she stay fit and balanced with such a busy schedule? Here’s everything you need to know about her approach to health and fitness.

1. She Runs

In her Instagram video, Ounsley is seen running. FloTrack states that running is a great way to stay in shape. “Running and jogging is an aerobic exercise, and you’re working out both your heart and lungs while doing so. This will also lead to a lower resting heart rate, lower bad cholesterol in your blood and lower blood pressure. You don’t need to run an obscene amount of miles every day to get these benefits, either. Those who just run a couple of minutes a day decrease their risk of cardiovascular death by 58 percent. If you have a hard time running, you can still give your heart a workout by jogging or walking.”

2. She Strength Trains

Ounsley shared some of her favorite workouts in this Instagram video. In it, she is seen strength training. The Mayo Clinic states that strength training has a lot of benefits. “Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories. Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls.”

3. She Works Out With Her Dad

As you can see from her Instagram video, Ounsley likes to workout with her dad. Better Health states that working out with a loved one has a lot of benefits. “Exercising with a friend or loved one can make it more fun, and increase your chances of sticking to your exercise plan. Exercising with a friend is a great way to keep you motivated. It’s also a great way to meet new people. It can even save you money. Exercise with someone around the same fitness level as you so you can spur each other on. Ask a family member or a friend, or join a sporting club or group.”

4. She Walks

In the previous Instagram video, Ounsley is seen walking with weights. Walking has a lot of health benefits. The Mayo Clinic states, “Regular brisk walking can help you: Maintain a healthy weight and lose body fat. Prevent or manage various conditions, including heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, cancer and type 2 diabetes. Improve cardiovascular fitness. Strengthen your bones and muscles. Improve muscle endurance. Increase energy levels. Improve your mood, cognition, memory and sleep. Improve your balance and coordination. Strengthen immune system. Reduce stress and tension.”

5. She Uses A Rowing Machine

Ounsley is also seen using a rowing machine in the previous Instagram video. The Cleveland Clinic states that using a rowing machine has a lot of health benefits. “You may not think about the way you carry yourself as a strength thing, but it is. Strong core and back muscles help maintain your posture and reduce pressure on your spinal column. And — while the brain is crucial to balance and coordination — so are our muscles. They help us react quickly and prevent falls.”

Ashley revealed that walking was the workout responsible for making her feel like herself again after welcoming her first child. "Getting back with my trainer @harleypasternak has changed my body tremendously and honestly it's all about getting your steps in," she said in an Instagram Story. "His method isn't hard and my body isn't left feeling like I tortured it. I can't believe what my body has gone through over the last year and a half. I'm so grateful for it and honestly can't believe how strong I feel." Wearing a Fitbit, she aims for 14,000 steps a day. "All I do is walk lol but it's effective," she said. "I'm only sharing this because after months of working hard and trying everything, these small changes in the last three weeks is what have done the most," she continued. "It's the difference of how I feel. It's all about moving, finding ways of walking. Taking the dogs out with the baby for a stroll, taking meetings while walking vs. sitting." She also claims it is good for her mental health. "It's honestly what has helped my mental health as well," she added. "Having the extra energy from anxiety, just taking a walk and putting on a walking meditation always makes me feel better."

2. She Focuses on Low Impact Workouts

Tisdale, who has "borderline thyroid disease," adds that low impact workouts help her condition, in addition to diet. "I eliminate gluten (sometimes 😛), dairy and do everything I can to not have to rely on medication but a lot of it is not creating stress on the body and even though working out is great, the different methods can create more stress and do more damage," she said. "So using @harleypasternak technique helps me reach my goals but not over exert myself."

3. She Mixes Up Her Workout

In addition to training with Pasternak, Ashley also stays fit through a variety of other workouts. "I've worked my butt off. Whether it's hiking, Pilates, riding on my Peloton,” she wrote on Frenche.

4. Her Diet Is Balanced and Healthy

She also revealed on Frenche that diet is a big part of the equation. “While I haven’t mastered his recipes yet, I’m excited to dive deeper into them. He always says, ‘you can’t out-walk a bad diet,’ and I’m trying to live by that too,” she said about Pasternak’s plan. “In the past, I practiced yo-yo dieting that wasn’t sustainable instead of focusing on making lifestyle changes. That’s ultimately the opposite of Harley’s methods. He emphasizes the importance of fueling the body with food rather than depriving it of certain foods. My entire point is that while it’s easy to get caught up in wanting fast results from your diet and exercise regimen, it’s not a healthy mindset to have. It’s not a race; it’s a lifestyle, so I’m sure the more I do it, the better I’ll get at it.”

5. She Claims Ditching Dairy Is Responsible for Her Glow

“Skin never looked so good,” Ashley said in an Instagram video. “I would love to say it’s just the products I use but I’ve been dairy free for 5 years and I swear it changed everything with my skin. I barely break out,” she added. “I know it’s hard to give up something but when you do, after awhile, you barely crave it and I feel healthier.”

Brazilian model and actor Cintia Dicker is grabbing some rare me-time. “I took the day for myself! Haircut @fil.freitas training @diogopyrrho, massage @liliamirandadrena and I even gave myself candles as a gift @vibe.burningessentials,” she captioned anew post, in which she wears workout gear. It’s not surpsing she namechecked Diogo Pyrrho; her fitness coach has kept her learn and mean. Here’s how she stays well.

1. She Has a Personal Trainer

Dicker has trained with coach Pyrrho for a while now and gets terrific results. “He was responsible for my weight loss together with my effort and my desire to change,” Dicker captioned one workout Q+A and video. “Most of us work harder in the presence of others. Having a trainer by your side can provide the encouragement, energy and motivation you need to jumpstart your routine. A trainer can also help you set goals, create a plan to accomplish them and celebrate the day you reach them,” says ACE Fitness.

2. She Does Jumping Jacks to Warm Up

Dicker does jumping jacks and runs in place before a good workout. “A good warm-up before a workout widens your blood vessels, ensuring that your muscles are well supplied with oxygen. It also raises your muscles’ temperature for the best flexibility and efficiency. By slowly raising your heart rate, the warm-up also helps minimize stress on your heart,” says the American Heart Association.

3. She Likes Nature

Dicker can often be seen photographed in nature. One study “ suggests that going for a walk in nature can have health promoting effects on stress-related brain regions, and consequently, it may act as a preventive measure against mental strain and potentially disease. Living in cities is associated with increased mental health risks,” says the Conservation Commission of Missouri, referring to this study.

4. She Gets Some Sun

“Sunlight actually affects our health in many ways, and it has many benefits that can improve your health and overall well-being. One of the main benefits is the way it supports vitamin D levels, which play an important role in our health. For today’s episode, I’d like to focus on the effects of this “sunshine vitamin” on our immune system, bone health, and mental health,” Mihaela Vincze, public health expert for nonprofit Transamerica Institute®, tells WYPR.

5. She Does Planks with Arm Reach

Dicker’s workout includes Plank with Arm Reach, in which you do a plank but then reach out to the floor in front of you with one arm, and then move it back. This strengthens your core and your back. She alternates these with more jumping jacks and Side Step Touches.

López lost weight on WW, formerly Weight Watchers. “After trying so hard - because it is one thing to want to do it and another is to be able to do it. I joined WW because I was looking to have a healthy lifestyle and something that would make me achieve it,” López told Hola. “It is a very personal decision. Besides wanting it, you have to work for that because the results do not come alone if you are not faithful to the process.” She added: “The sessions with my WW coach help me a lot to stay motivated and focused, and I have already lost more than 20 pounds.”

2. She Does Yoga

Adamari has done yoga on Noticia, with Miami-based yoga instructor Zarid Urbina. Here’s a great new tip from him: “When placing your hands to support your body make sure to spread the fingers wide and press from all four corners of the hand. Using the fingers tips to grip or claw creates more engagement and control in your poses. Our hands are tools. Use them wisely to create a better and more loving world. (Cuando usemos las manos, acordémonos de extender los dedos y presionar las manos firmes. Presionando la yema de los dedos ayuda a crear más estabilidad y control en la pose. Usemos nuestras manos como herramientas para crear un mundo mejor.)"

3. She Does This for a Healthy Lifestyle

“Exercising, eating better, and spending time with nature are things that help me stay healthy. They are things that help me to be in good spirits and have a healthy body and mind. Laughing a lot, distracting myself with things that I like, and adding more water, fruits, and vegetables to my diet, as well as eliminating greasy foods, have helped, too,” she told Medline.

4. She Exercised at Home During the Worst of the Pandemic

“The quarantine also gave me the opportunity to dedicate time to myself, do my exercises and prioritize that in my life,” she told Hola. “When my girl started taking classes from home, I started to schedule exercises, and at first I lost between seven and ten pounds, and I was excited,” she said.

5. She Campaigns Against Breast Cancer

A breast cancer survivor herself, López fights for a cure. “I was 33 years old when I was diagnosed with breast cancer. It was at an excellent time in my career. I was in Mexico filming telenovelas and had just gotten engaged to my partner. One day I felt a little lump in one of my breasts. It surprised me. I went to the doctor. He thought that maybe it was just a normal occurrence during my period. He told me if the lump didn't go away, I should get an ultrasound. Days later, I felt a sudden pain. They found that I had a mass in my breast,” she told Medline.
