Denise Austin has sold over 25 million exercise DVDs and written more than 20 books on fitness and she's been a wellness icon for over four decades. She is a full-time motivator, wife, mother of two, and one of the most positive people you'll ever get to meet! This episode covers major ground and Denise dishes her best secrets on how to stay well mind, body, and spirit and how to develop the skill of consistency, a key to success in all areas of life. Her guidance is so applicable especially during COVID-19 when many people are stuck at home with their regular routines put on hold, with mounting financial and health stress that leads many to feel anxious, uncertain, and to lose hope. Dr. Judy and Denise talk about exercise plans for any age and fitness level, the profound neurobiological changes that daily movement can make in your overall health, and the 10 minute a day rule that will get you moving and reaping the benefits of exercise in no time. Denise breaks down her daily routines from exercise, mindfulness practices, gratitude activities, and her 80/20 eating plan (both ice cream and wine are on the menu) that give her boundless energy and an eternal sense of optimism amidst crises. Most of all, Denise emphasizes how we can improve our mental and physical wellness naturally without drugs or major medical interventions and why all of us can take a page from her playbook for boosting energy and productivity through implementing small changes that any of us can make.
