The benefits of resistance training for bone health are well established. One study<\/a> found it improved bone mineral density more than endurance exercise such as running or swimming.<\/p>\n ‘Most of the exercise I do now is strength training,’ she also told People<\/a>.<\/p>\n ‘I still like yoga, but mostly I lift weights. Sometimes I go to a gym and sometimes I do it on my own with a video.’<\/p>\n Watts used to train in person with longtime PT Keith Anthony<\/a>, but now follows his online workouts instead.<\/p>\n ‘Keith Anthony is a guy that I met at a class a long time ago. He now has a website and he has recordings, so I just do his videos.’<\/p>\n Whatever form of movement she chooses, she says it sets the tone for the rest of the day.<\/p>\n ‘Exercise sets the day for me.’<\/p>\n She’s also become less rigid with her routine.<\/p>\n ‘I try to work out at a minimum twice a week, maybe three times. I used to be more fanatical about it,’ she told AARP. ‘Now I’m less so.’<\/p>\n Want to train like Liz Earle<\/a>?

I love the outlet that Taryn creates…It doesn’t feel like a traditional workout,’ she later told WH US<\/a>, revealing that she was doing Toomey’s classes around four times a week during the pandemic.<\/p>\n ‘You get to move your body, but you also get to shift your mind in a way that’s really cathartic.’<\/p>\n
