Frieda Redknapp is passionate about health and wellbeing and makes fitness a consistent part of her lifestyle. The 42-year-old mother of five mixes up her training, from strength training in the gym to skipping and cycling outdoors.<\/p>\n

“My routine will change. My commitments will not,” she told her followers. “Early mornings don’t matter. Exercise clears my mind, strengthens my body, and reminds me of who I am. Moving helps me reset and focus. It brings me back to who I am, sharpens me, and keeps me grounded.”<\/p>\n

Frida also makes sure that training can be done at any time, even at home. She recently shared a core and glute workout that requires minimal equipment. \u201cA simple home set that never fails,\u201d she said. “Build strength in the areas that matter most, including core stability and strong glutes.” <\/p>\n

                Earlier this year, Frida shared a week-long workout. “At the moment it looks like at least two Lagree classes a week (I’m crazy), two cardio sessions (usually boxing), two weight sessions (I need to keep my bones strong), and a proper rest day,” she said. “Consistency is key.”<\/p>\n
