Eden's Fitness and Wellness Routine Revealed
In a 2024 interview with Fox News, Eden shared insights into how she maintains her health and vitality. She explained that while she once engaged in intensive gym workouts, including spinning classes and weight training with a trainer, the COVID-19 pandemic led her to adopt a more home-based routine. "Now I have a stationary bicycle and I lift five pounds. I use very lightweight weights, but they're good for your bones," she noted.
Eden also discussed her preference for walking over more strenuous exercises. "If you can walk briskly, which suits me just fine, that's good for you. It's good for your knees and ankles. I find it better than running," she added. This simple yet effective approach to fitness has clearly contributed to her well-being, as fans continue to marvel at her youthful energy.
