A long-time fitness<\/a> devotee, Kate Ferdinand<\/a> has trained consistently for more than 20 years. Rather than relying on expensive products or treatments, it\u2019s the simplest, free habits that she\u2019s most enthusiastic about.<\/p>\n

\u2018Rio and I walk<\/a> a lot. In Dubai, we probably walk three or four times a week in the evenings,\u2019 the podcaster, entrepreneur and now Women\u2019s Health cover star explains. \u2018We\u2019ll just go for a 45-minute walk and debrief about our days. I just love it.\u2019<\/p>\n

Those evening walks, in a city she only moved to last year, serve as much as a mental reset as they do a way to stay active. \u2018I work out for my mental health<\/a>. I\u2019m quite aware of how I feel and what I need to do in order to make myself feel better,\u2019 she says. \u2018If I\u2019m struggling, I\u2019ll go outside and go for a walk, I\u2019ll talk to people.\u2019<\/p>\n

That focus on manageable daily habits extends to her wider approach to wellbeing. \u2018I read that you should do five things in the morning to help you have a better day,\u2019 she says. \u2018One might be grounding, another getting fresh air or sunlight, breathwork, having a cold shower, hydrating yourself. I do small biohacks.\u2019<\/p>\n

As a mother of young children, Ferdinand avoids obsessively tracking metrics or following rigid wellness schedules. \u2018On Instagram, there are all these things you think you should be doing and it can feel like you\u2019re not keeping up,\u2019 she says. \u2018I do what I can, and I try not to put too much pressure on myself.\u2019<\/p>\n

It\u2019s a balance she believes leads to greater happiness, allowing room for both structure and enjoyment. \u2018I don\u2019t want to live forever \u2013 I want to enjoy my life. I want to eat chocolate and have a cocktail,\u2019 she says. \u2018I refuse to put too many boundaries in place to stop that.\u2019
