Jess King\u2019s workouts are as intense and high-energy as ever. The trainer, who leads Bike and Tread classes on the Peloton app, is known for combining challenging sequences with heart-pounding house music (she moonlights as a DJ), so you might never guess that her approach to fitness<\/a> has changed over the past few years. Specifically, she tells Flow Space, she\u2019s pivoted to focusing more on the \u201cbookends\u201d of her routine.<\/p>\n

That means \u201cthe warm-up, the nourishing, making sure I have enough calories in my body that can be burned,\u201d King explains. \u201cMaking sure that I\u2019ve activated the muscle groups in every range of motion before I hit that high intensity workout<\/a>.\u201d <\/p>\n

\"Things<\/a> <\/p>\n

She also prioritizes recovery, and not just with a five- or 10-minute post-workout stretch. \u201cIt\u2019s about unraveling some of the tension and intensity of the day,\u201d King says. That means intentional slow breathing, a hot bath, staying hydrated, and eating balanced meals. \u201cIf I do those things, I feel grounded. I feel restored the following day, and then ready to rinse and repeat.\u201d<\/p>\n

King\u2019s daily routine looks different than it did a few years ago. She turned 40 last year and is busy at home raising two toddlers. In the midst of this season, she\u2019s also still trying to prioritize her own health and happiness, which includes staying strong. As an expert in this field, King share that for midlife women, building strength<\/a> comes down to three core tips.<\/p>\n

\u201cFirst and foremost, regulate your nervous system,\u201d King says. One simple way to do that: \u201csimply by breathing,\u201d she explains. \u201cTaking those deep, diaphragmatic breaths. Inhale and exhale completely\u2026 Breathe deeply, breathe intentionally, and do it as often as you can remember.\u201d She shares that those deep breaths offer the additional benefit of massaging one of the main lymph glands in your body, which sits in the center of your diaphragm.<\/p>\n

King is also committed to taking a daily probiotic. \u201cIt\u2019s so easy, it\u2019s so simple, and the impact of it is massive,\u201d says King, who is chief wellness ambassador for the probiotic brand Culturelle<\/a>. \u201cTaking care of your second brain \u2014 your microbiome \u2014 is going to influence your digestion, your mood swings, your skin, your brain health<\/a>, your gut health.\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, King says, being consistent is crucial<\/a> and, for her, even more important than lifting heavy weights or doing high-intensity workouts. That\u2019s because a consistent practice \u201cis going to yield results that are sustainable over time, as opposed to these quick diet fads and trends.\u201d That\u2019s important, given how strength<\/a> training is connected to a whole host of benefits<\/a>, from maintaining bone health<\/a> to lowering the risk of premature aging, cancer, and heart disease, research<\/a> has found. <\/p>\n

And for King, that consistency factor goes building physical strength or mental fitness, a weightlifting plan or a breathing practice. \u201cThis is a way to stay sustainable throughout the rest of our lives.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Jess King\u2019s workouts are as intense and high-energy as ever.
