Through the guidance of her personal trainer Damon Ball, here are the four workouts that Lakshmi demonstrated in her video.
Padma Lakshmi Shares Her Morning Routine—Plus the One Food She Eats Every Day
The first two workouts require no equipment, which we love to see. The first workout is a donkey kick. On the bench, Lakshmi holds the surface and keeps one knee down while raising her other knee off the bench. She repeats this motion back and forth, each time raising her knee high enough to create a symmetrical extension with her quad and torso.
Her other two workouts use equipment, as she spends time on the elliptical and uses battle ropes for cross training. This is the part of the video where Lakshmi isn’t afraid to show her entirely relatable breaks.
“Oh my god, my thighs are on fire!” Lakshmi said in the video after her elliptical reps. Then, when she completed her workout with the battle ropes, she exclaimed: “I can’t even speak right now. I mean, it was like 20 seconds, but it killed me.”
We’re loving the sneak peek into Lakshmi’s realistic workout routine and are hoping for more fitness content from the food expert in the future. Feeling inspired? Check out this list of thebest carbs to eat before and after a workoutto know exactly how to fuel your body.
