Laura Rutledge is taking her fans through her morning in her workout gear. In a new social media post the ESPN host gives her followers a glimpse into one of her mornings, showing off her amazing body in exercise clothes. “Putting some finishing touches on The Rundown,” she says in the TikTok clip. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
Laura is a golfer. “Amazing time with some of my favorite people for a wonderful cause,” she captioned a post. A comprehensive review published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that 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 told I Want Her Job that she feels her best when, “I am regularly going to Pure Barre,” she says. “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.
What is her favorite way to spend a day off? “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.
