Giada De Laurentiis says the key to getting a good workout in is to do it first-thing in the morning. She says:
Morning Workouts are the best thing for me. It doesn’t have to be a lot of exercise. I just get up a little bit earlier and do it, but it really helps me sort of breathe.
You can use these yoga moves one time through. Or, use them as part of a yoga circuit routine. Complete each exercise, rest one minute, then repeat. Giada uses this workout routine a lot, but sometimes opts for traditional cardio, saying:
I do yoga, which I got into while I was pregnant, or a half hour on the elliptical and 20 minutes on the treadmill. Getting up and getting my blood going gives me energy for the whole day.
Giada also takes resistance bands with her when she travels. This helps her to train her arms and legs, no matter where she is. Whenever Giada’s in L.A., she works with Kathryn Budig. When she’s traveling, Giada often has one of Kathryn’s underlings come along.
