Model and actress Brooklyn Decker is enjoying a fun-filled family vacation with husband Andy Roddick and their kids. Decker, 37, shared highlights from the trip, including a picture of herself wearing orange shorts and a white shirt, posing on a rock in a mossy cave. “Warning: Animals may be present,” she captioned the post. “Love seeing you enjoy these incredible mountains!” a fan commented. Here’s what Decker’s health and wellness regimen looks like as a busy mom-of-two.
Decker lifts weights to maintain her strong physique. “I do free weights three days a week,” she told SELF. “I do walking lunges with a weight, then squats, then rotating twists with a plate on my chest, and then arms, too. Having more muscle means burning more calories, which is a reason guys lose weight faster than women. Lifting makes me leaner.”
Decker lost a lot of weight after having children. “Before I had children, I had boobs and a body, and I was curvy,” she told Us Weekly. “And then I had children, and after breastfeeding for however many years and doing sleepless nights, I just lost my body, or it became something different. Some people lose their boobs. Some people get bigger. You just had a child, and your child’s healthy, and that’s all that matters.”
Decker swears by Roz Hair Oil to keep her hair healthy. “I just don’t have the bandwidth to really do my hair and put on a lot of makeup, so I try to get the essentials, which are typically things that take care of my skin, body, and hair,” she told PopSugar. “I started just adding in this oil, and it totally changed the texture of my hair. Typically, I’ll do two bumps [of the hair oil] in my hands, put ’em on my ends, and any leftovers, I’m putting on my arms, shoulders, and anywhere that needs a little extra love.”
Decker uses the Calm app at bedtime. “When we go to sleep at night, it’s the first time that we’re actually quiet all day; it’s the first time that we don’t have a podcast in, we’re not on phone calls, we’re not talking to other family members or friends,” she told PopSugar. “It’s the first time that we’re actually quiet, and that’s typically when the thoughts start going wild. And so to have a grown person reading me a bedtime story in my bedroom has been the most surprising gift an app has ever given me.”
Decker talks to her children about environmental issues. “”We talk about how scarce and precious water is, we talk about taking our own cups to restaurants and to fast food places so that we’re not using single-use plastic,” she told Us Weekly. “We talk about adjusting ourselves to the planet versus adjusting the planet to ourselves. We’re not perfect, no one’s perfect, but a good friend told me that if I wait until I’m the perfect environmentalist it’ll be too late.”
