Brooke Burke’s Diet and Exercise Tips
Self Magazine caught up with former model and reality show host Brooke Burke and asked how she’s been staying in shape over the past year now that she is no longer on Dancing With The Stars. From what she said, it’s obvious she has a very healthy approach to maintaining her weight.
“I’ve been doing pilates for about nine years – it’s a really good head-to-toe body-toning exercise. I started with my first pregnancy, and I did it through all four. I try to do it two or three times a week. But I totally believe that 90 percent of staying in shape is what you put in your mouth. I try to maintain a healthy diet. I’m super busy, which helps, and always active with my kids. I don’t have time to really go to a gym, but I try to get my cardio by walking with them.”
The magazine then asked Brooke if she had any tips for readers who are trying to get bikini-ready for summer. Brooke responded,
“Well, I’m not a big believer in these crazy cleanses and diet fads, because I think they’re quick fixes and you always put the weight back on. But in case of an emergency, I would cut out carbs, get on a really strict diet that works and increase my cardio. It’s all about consistency and nutrition. If people can find a healthy lifestyle and smart-food choices that they enjoy, it’s so much easier than the panic of all of a sudden needing to drop ten pounds.”
Brooke also gave some healthy food options for summer time snacking:
“I mean, fruits always great to bring, especially in a beach bag. But I do have a sweet tooth, so I try to keep really sensible snacks in the fridge that are healthy and easy, like sugar-free Jell-O cups, especially with some of the new flavors like goji berry. I drink goji berry in its pure form; it’s great for your immune system and gives you a lot of energy. I even give it to my children–it’s a little intense, but when everybody’s feeling a little run-down, it gives us a boost. All the flavors are really low-calorie (ten calories!) and really yummy. I can just grab one of those and feel satisfied.”
Brooke is currently focusing on being a mother, spending time with her kids and working on her business venture, ModernMom.com.
