Kay Adams, known for her NFL coverage and hosting Up & Adams, frequently shares glimpses of her life and fitness routine on Instagram. Recently, she posted a mirror selfie in black workout clothes during a Q&A with fans. In an interview with GQ, Adams revealed that she works out early in the mornings, combining hiking and Pilates to stay active. Whether she’s working out, walking, or swimming, Adams stays committed to keeping fit while balancing her passion for live television and NFL coverage.
In an interview with GQ, Adams talked about her life and career. She says that she works out in the mornings. “I will wake up and do a hike at like 5:30 in the morning. This weekend I might do a hike and a Pilates class. Then I will feel good about all of my time on the couch. During the games, I’m taking notes and feverishly texting my producer. But other than that, I just watch like everybody else. I’m a fan!”
Adams tells GQ that she’s lucky to be doing a job she loves. “I think every Sunday—every week, every quarter, every minute—is so precious. That’s one of the big lessons as you do this job: the preciousness of the moments in an NFL season. They’re so fleeting. I’ll catch myself on a Tuesday morning saying, ‘Let’s wrap up Week 11.’ Week 11?! My heart skips a beat because I love the NFL, I love football, I love celebrating the game, and it ends too soon! I’m a fan of the extended season and expanded playoffs because I can’t get enough.“
Adams shared her favorite type of journalism in her GQ interview. “I love live [TV]. I would pick live over anything, any way. I hate taping anything. I think I’m too impatient to want to do something again, or edit. If you do something live, it’s behind you, there’s nothing you can do about it. There’s a real sense of being in the present moment that I don’t shy away from. I’m saying impatient, but maybe I mean lazy. I just don’t want to do anything again. I think it’s always the best the first time. I think I’m always my best the first time. If I’m not, I’ve got another chance to do it 23 hours later.”
Adams likes to walk to keep herself in shape. She shared these photos of herself walking and enjoying the scenery on vacation on her Instagram. Adams captioned the post, “Wallflower.” Adams also posted this set of photos from the Riviera Maya. In the first one, she is seen walking on a bridge. Lastly, she is seen taking a couple of walks in this reel, and captioned it, “Rancho relaxo.”
Adams likes to swim to keep herself in shape. She posted this photo on Instagram of herself in a pool in Aspen. Better Health reports that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Swimming is a great recreational activity for people of all ages. Recreational swimming can provide you with a low-impact workout and it’s a good way to relax and feel good. Swimming is a great workout because you need to move your whole body against the resistance of the water.”
