Candace Cameron Bure is working out al fresco – in her exercise gear. In a new social media post the Full House star shows off her fit figure in a top and shorts as she engages in a sweat session at the playground. “Your workout doesn’t always have to be indoors falling a routine on a screen,” she writes in the video. “Need I say more? 😉🤸🏼♀️🛝What are you doing today to get active? Tell me below! #outsideworkout #getactive #workoutofftheday,” she adds in the caption. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
Candace sweats to “keep my mental health clear,” she told The Salvation Army. “Just sweating that out and all those endorphins really help me a lot. I notice a huge difference when I don’t exercise, how much it can affect me mentally and kind of deal with depression,” she said. “That’s why I keep going. There are a lot of benefits I get. My mind is most important, and exercise definitely helps that.”
Candace is a big fan of jump roping, a great anytime, anywhere workout. “First, whips hurt. Second, this is the first time doing 12 double-unders in a row. Whoo Hoo! Does a jump in between still make it count? Just say YES 👍🏼! I’m learning,” she captioned a post. “P.S. some people have said my rope is too long, however I ordered a rope for exactly my height. When I stand on it, it comes just underneath my armpit- which is where it should land. Still think it’s too long?” Why should you give jump roping a try? “Not only can the repetitive movement of skipping rope elevate your heart rate, work muscles in the arms and legs and burn calories, it may even provide a quick jolt of joy,” says Nike.
“I try to work out four to five times a week. I mix it up a lot, so it stays interesting to me,” Candace told Parade. She walks the walk in her recent post, exercising on a playground. Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans
Strength training and HIIT are two of Cameron’s go-to workouts. “I swear by push-ups: wide grip, tricep, dolphin, inclined, declined, you name it. My arms, shoulders, and back have really changed from constantly doing them,” she said. There is lots of research backing up the benefits of HIIT workouts, including body fat reduction, improved cardiovascular function, and mental health. It is also time effective.
“I follow a more Mediterranean diet, so I eat lots of fresh vegetables and whole grains and fish,” she told People, adding that she’s cut dairy and sugar out of her diet. “I see the biggest effect from not eating as much sugar.”
