I like to go to yoga classes and sweat a lot.
Walking lunges are great for thighs.
There's nothing more frustrating than pulling on your favorite jeans - only to see there's a bit of extra bulge above the waist.
Constant slumping increases the stress on the spine and joints, and can lead to headaches, neck and shoulder tension, and lower-back pain.
In my home gym, I'll do targeted exercises like pilates, light weights and stretching.
I like intervals. I will turn a walk into a workout. For example, I walk for five minutes at an easy pace, then power-walk for two minutes and repeat. Intervals blast the fat.
Helping people keeps me going.
Some of the routines take less than 10 minutes, making Pilates the perfect form of exercise for anyone who finds there's not enough time in the day for exercise.
If you think a bare midriff is only for teens, think again.
We use our shoulder muscles to accomplish practically every pulling, pushing, and hoisting task we do (they really do carry the weight of the world!), so they're a great place to start building strength.
Of all the forms of exercise I've taught, Pilates is one of my favorites.
Your lower back contains numerous muscles. One group, called the erector spinae, attaches to your spinal column at different points along your back, allowing you to bend it forward and backward and from side to side. Toning these muscles helps prevent back pain, and it also tightens and firms your entire lower back.
What was cool about my career, Jack LaLanne gave me my first break on TV. I was his co-host.
I love walking on a treadmill, it's a great way to challenge yourself!
When it comes to foods as we age, it is a good rule of thumb to focus on high-quality, whole, fresh foods as the basis of all your meals.
I'm into eating whole foods.
I don't starve myself, and I don't think other people should either.
Getting healthy, getting into shape is a gradual process.
Women love classes and like to be together. They enjoy exercise classes. But that's not what a man usually likes to do.
I'm a big believer in a balance of workouts - a well-balanced workout plan. Part of it is cardio, part strength training and then flexibility. You really need all three.
