Fitness icon Brooke Burke challenges the conventional wisdom of waiting for the New Year to embark on health and fitness journeys. In a recent conversation, she highlighted the benefits of incorporating exercise into the holiday season, emphasizing its stress-reducing effects during this often chaotic period.

Burke believes that physical activity can counterbalance the increased indulgences and social engagements that accompany the holidays. She encourages increasing cardio to prepare for the new year and suggests establishing new fitness habits and routines before January 1st. She advocates for embracing activities like digital fitness programs, additional classes, digestive walks, mobility exercises, and yoga to deepen self-awareness.

Burke also shared insights into her own daily regimen, which includes a 16-18 hour fasting window for cellular repair and recovery, breaking her fast with a smoothie before her morning workout. She manages her work-from-home schedule around family dinners with her blended family of six children, emphasizing the importance of mindful meals.

Burke and her fiancé, Scott Rigsby, enjoy family time and relaxation in Arizona, incorporating infrared sauna sessions and cold plunges into their wellness routines. Burke acknowledges the difficulty of cold plunging but finds motivation in Joe Rogan's advice and focuses on the long-term health benefits.
