"After having two children, my core is always the part of my body that I never leave out of my workouts," Berry said, adding that she uses her Re-Spin Full Body Resistance Loops to work her whole body including the core.
Even Berry struggled to workout from home during the coronavirus pandemic though.
"It was difficult finding the motivation in isolation, but at the same time it was more important than ever for mind, body, and soul to stay active," she said.
4. Meditation
Meditation has been "key" for Berry's mental health and holistic wellbeing.
"I try to do it as often as I can, even if it's only 20 minutes three times a week," she said, adding that she also tracks her sleep with an Amazon Halo and then adjusts her lifestyle based on the data.
5. Skincare
Berry keeps her complexion clear with a good skincare regime.
She always uses a vitamin C toner, face peel, sleeping mask, and the Flawless Cleanse brush.
