When Mindy\u2019s dieting wasn\u2019t working for her, she decided to switch up her approach to eating altogether.<\/p>\n

Because of her hectic schedule, Mindy\u2019s time to workout each day is limited. She told TODAY that walking<\/a> is one thing she does to keep herself in shape since it\u2019s quick and easy.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes I\u2019ll be like, \u2018Well, I have four different times today where I have 10 minutes so let\u2019s just walk instead of sitting down and checking Instagram,’\u201d she said. \u201cSo instead of it being like one chunk of exercise in the beginning of the day or none at all, I\u2019m now just deciding that I\u2019m going to be a more active person all the time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mindy\u2019s workout routine can be summed up in one word: variety. She told\u00a0PEOPLE<\/a>\u00a0that she doesn\u2019t want to get used to one thing, as it helps challenge her.<\/p>\n

\u201cSurprising the body with lots of different things I think is really good, particularly for my body \u2026 I\u2019ve really been mixing it up and knowing that if a workout doesn\u2019t necessarily make me soak my clothes with sweat, that it still was a good workout\u2026 It does not have to be punishing,\u201d Mindy said.<\/p>\n
