'Perfect' workout formula can take just 10 minutes a day, Hilaria Baldwin says

Being motivated to work out is one thing, but staying committed to a routine is what yields results, experts say.

In an interview with Fox News Digital, certified yoga and fitness instructor Hilaria Baldwin shared her tips for building an effective exercise routine – and sticking to it.

"One of the most important things about exercise is consistency," said the mother of seven.

"For many of us, life gets in the way – we are parents and we work and all the chaos comes in, so bite-sized movements are really important."

For lasting consistency, a fitness routine should fit naturally into one’s lifestyle and schedule, Baldwin said.

She recommends setting aside kid-free, work-free blocks of time for movement and self-care.

Baldwin said she makes time for a daily run as her cardio, which she said helps "work out her lungs." She also incorporates stretching and strength training, which might include physically picking up her kids or toning with weights.

She has also started exercising with her children as a way to blend family time with physical activity.

"If something's overwhelming, we're not going to do it," Baldwin said.

"Ultimately, we are going to be creatures of habit … we are going do what we feel like needs to get done – but starting to think of a workout more like brushing our teeth is really important." "People are not moving their bodies enough and then we get sick ," she went on.

"So, the question is, can we do a little bit to prevent that? And obviously not everything can be prevented, but we know that we should move our bodies most days."

For example, instead of running three miles as a response to being frustrated about your fitness goals, try running for just 10 minutes – or run for just two minutes at a time and take walking breaks.

"Doing something is better than thinking about it and doing nothing," she added.

The fitness instructor also suggested making exercise a family commitment , helping to reinforce that movement and self-care are priorities.
