Personal Trainer
She works out. But, the main thing is that she does not always love to exercise. Her first preference is not to visit a nearby gym but do such an activity, which provides her some sort of workout. For instance, when she is at home in LA, she does trapeze, which she considers a combo of yoga and cardio. And, while doing it, she does not feel that she is working out.
Bridget always goes for a running session on the beach. She sometimes does hiking and rope skipping. Bridget also goes to the gym and does cardio, abs, and other exercises.
Regarding diet, she prefers eating everything in moderation. If she is craving chocolate, she’ll have one or two pieces. In this, she can enjoy her favorite foods without affecting her health.
