Being Healthy While Growing Up

The four-time undefeated champion confessed to The Post Game that she learned to stay fit at her parents’ heels.

So, her parents inspired her to stay fit from a very young age.

Workout Routine

The recent workout routine of the athlete has changed a lot since the days she was still in the ring. She used to workout very hard during those days, but she has loosened up a bit now. These days the preferred workout of the diva is running when she has ample time. When the time is scarce, she prefers high-intensity workouts. During these exercises, she will run on the treadmill, do Pilates or simply hits a heavy bag, reported Fox News recently. She works out five times a week and dedicates one hour during a session on those days.

Workout Motivation

The mother of two likes to mix up her workouts to stay motivated because she gets bored pretty easily. She also likes to build up a good sweat during her workout sessions to call them a real success.

Career Path

The fitness and wellness expert thinks that choosing a career after her days in the ring were over was not an easy task. She had to take help of methods like meditation to decide what to do in life. It was during that time she realized that she wants to help people regarding fitness and wellness. She wanted to assist people in taking control of their health. To help her out in this mission, she hired a team of professionals who had better knowledge than her and also wanted to help people.

Staying Positive

One thing all her fans can learn from the TV Host is that she has a positive outlook on everything she does. Laila thinks that she can achieve anything she wants by just figuring out what path she needs to take and how she will handle the problems along the path. Laila says that it’s all in the mindset, reports Rolling Out. If you have a mindset that you will achieve something, then you will do it.

Don’t Go Overboard with Your Kids’ Health

The philanthropist also warns people against going overboard while thinking of their kids’ health. She gives her own example and says that she consistently thinks about ways to keep her kids healthy.

She got the answer when her son Curtis Jr. wrote her a letter and expressed that he likes cooking good food, talking about good manners and playing games with her. He also called her the best mom in the world.
