Even with her big family and new TV network, she still makes the time to work out and stay fit. But, that perspective of “staying fit” has changed a lot over the years as well. “When I was in my twenties, working out was something I did as a part of my daily routine,” she previously shared in an Instagram post. “As I think back to my intentions on working out then- they were based solely on the idea of looking good on the exterior- in fact it was probably more of an obsession than a habit at the time. It wasn’t healthy.”

She continues, “So from age 27 to now 37 I did not work out bc of the pressure I felt that was associated with it. Only until recently has my mindset completely changed- I got a fresh idea of what health really means and it starts from the inside out. My heart, mind and body need to be strong for the tasks set before me. This new healthy mindset takes the pressure off and makes working out enjoyable and more practical for this season.”

These days, Joanna does a variety of workouts, ranging from treadmill time to strength training. “Simply 20 minutes packed with squats, arm workouts, sprints, and rowing,” she says. “I’ve found that it helps my mood, it helps stress levels, and it’s fun.”
She also tries to keep up a healthy diet with lots of fresh produce. “I’ve got this huge garden in the back where we all eat all of our food, all of our leafy greens, our veggies, our fruits, come from that garden,” she tells Health. “For the most part I just try to eat a lot of protein during the day and then not too many carbs or I will crash at and not make it.”
