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

‘My routine changes. My commitment doesn’t,’ she told<\/a> followers. ‘Early mornings don’t matter. Exercise clears my mind, strengthens my body and reminds me who I am. Movement is how I reset and focus. It returns me to myself, sharpens me and steadies me.’<\/p>\n

Frida also makes sure training is always accessible, even at home. She recently shared a core<\/a> and glute<\/a> workout that requires minimal equipment. ‘A simple home set that never fails,’ she said. ‘Build strength where it matters most \u2013 core stability and powerful glutes.’ <\/p>\n
