Kate Hudson, 46, says even 20 minutes of movement a day is “golden” for her wellness.<\/p>\n
“I danced. So, like if I’m not moving, I feel awful, you know?” she said.<\/p>\n
She says she varies her workouts according to her mood, doing yoga on some days and weightlifting on others.<\/p>\n
Kate Hudson<\/a> says there’s one thing she can’t skip each day if she wants to feel like herself.<\/p>\n During an appearance on Wednesday’s episode of the “Table Manners<\/a>” podcast, the 46-year-old spoke about her approach to wellness and the daily habit she prioritizes even when she’s busy.<\/p>\n “I danced. So, like if I’m not moving, I feel awful, you know? And I’m like the kind of person that’s like, and even if it’s 20 minutes a day, you’re golden,” Hudson told podcast hosts Jessie and Lennie Ware.<\/p>\n The actor said she often uses that to encourage people who are reluctant to start exercising.<\/p>\n “I’m like, just go in for 20 minutes. Just like, move your body. Just go lift some weights. Stand in front of the mirror and just do something,” Hudson said.<\/p>\n Even a small amount of daily movement<\/a> can create a “domino effect” that motivates people to make healthier choices and be more active, she said.<\/p>\n Hudson said she varies her workouts depending on how she’s feeling, sometimes focusing on yoga, stretching, and breathwork, and other times on weightlifting.<\/p>\n “Even this morning, it’s like, I couldn’t not wake up and move my body,” she said.<\/p>\n She told Women’s Health<\/a> in a 2019 interview that she eats about five times a day and her go-to workout is Pilates.<\/p>\n “I love how flexible I get and what it does to the shape of my body,” Hudson said.<\/p>\n In an October interview with EatingWell, Hudson shared her morning routine<\/a>, which includes going outside barefoot and spending time in the sun.<\/p>\n “I wake around 6 a.m. and do some sort of meditation practice while I drink warm water with lemon. I also try not to look at my phone during this time,” Hudson said.<\/p>\n Hudson isn’t the only celebrity who has spoken about fitting shorter workouts into their busy schedules.<\/p>\n Helen Mirren<\/a>, 80, has long been a fan of a 12-minute military workout developed by the Royal Canadian Air Force in the 1950s.<\/p>\n “It is the exercise I have done off and on my whole life. It just very gently gets you fit,” Mirren said.<\/p>\n
