Laura Rutledge is ready to sweat in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the Monday Night Football reporter shows off her amazing body in exercise leggings and a top. “Sunday,” she captioned the mirror selfie shared via her Instagram Stories. How does the television personality approach health and wellness? Here are her top diet and fitness tips.
Laura golfs to stay in shape.. “Amazing time with some of my favorite people for a wonderful cause,” she captioned a recent post. According to research published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, golf’s health benefits are extensive, including mind, body, and even lifespan. Benefits include improved longevity, decreased risk of developing heart disease or suffering a stroke, good mental health, and improved strength and balance.
Laura feels her best when, “I am regularly going to Pure Barre,” she told I Want Her Job. “It’s almost like a flashback to ballet but not quite as intense. I find it to be such a great workout, and I wish I could do more of it. I try to do pseudo workouts myself, but I do better when I’m in a class because I find more pressure to keep going.” “Barre helps strengthen and tone your muscles without increasing bulk, and it improves your posture. It also increases cardiovascular endurance and metabolism, which helps to quickly burn calories. Regular barre workouts can increase your bone density, which can help prevent conditions like osteoporosis,” explains Barre studio Physique 57.
Another way she loves to sweat? “Going to my parents lake house. They have a little cabin that is secluded, in the woods, rustic, and down and dirty. We go kayaking on the lake. It’s a great way to spend time,” she told the podcast. Kayaking is a great workout. Not only is it great for building upper body strength and helps reduce stress, but can burn up to 400 calories per hour, translating to 1,600 calories in four hours of paddling.
Laura does “a lot of natural things” to avoid getting sick, “I have immune drops that are echinacea and elderberry. I would recommend those to anybody who’s trying to stay healthy and boost their immune system,” she told the podcast. “I’m also big on taking immunity juice shots. You can find a juice shop in a lot of places that you go. I’m not someone to drink a whole green juice. I wish I was better at that. But, I’ve found that drinking just a ginger, lemon, cayenne type of shot that’s all packaged together – even though it’s a bit tough to get through – will really be beneficial,” she said.
Laura makes sure to hydrate. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.
