How a heart health dietitian - and mom of 4 boys - stays fit
"Routhenstein, who primarily focuses on strength training and cardio, told Business Insider that the key is being proactive about scheduling workouts - even short ones - when they fit into her schedule. "If you don't plan it, it's not going to happen." As a dietitian, she said that cooking most of her meals helps her maintain a balanced diet rich in protein, fiber, and carbohydrates to build muscle and stay energized."
""I'm a mom to four very active boys who thankfully enjoy eating well," she said. "So meal prepping is truly my lifesaver." Routhenstein broke down how she fits full workouts (and mini sessions) into her week, while eating enough nutrients to support them. A combination home office and gym Routhenstein used to go to cycling classes at a gym. Then, her second son was born."
Michelle Routhenstein is a preventive cardiology dietitian in New York City who runs a private practice and cares for four sons, ages 2, 4, 7, and 9. Variable work hours and childcare create obstacles to consistent exercise, so workouts are proactively scheduled, including short sessions when time allows. Meal-prepping and cooking most meals provide a balanced intake of protein, fiber, and carbohydrates to build muscle and maintain energy.
