Lindsay Arnold is one strong mama. The world first fell in love with her after a sparkling run on "Dancing With the Stars," where she became the second-youngest pro in the show's history and ended up winning the 2017 mirrorball alongside Jordan Fisher. For a while, dance served as the ultimate fitness routine. But since stepping away from the show in 2021, her life looks a little different - workouts included.
For starters, she's currently 31 weeks pregnant with her third child. "Let's just say I don't have the days [of] waking up whenever I want, going to the gym for however long I want," Arnold tells Popsugar. "That life is amazing, and I had that at one point in my life, but I don't anymore." Don't let that fool you into thinking she's given up on health and fitness, though. Quite the opposite actually.
After leaving the show, Arnold turned her talents to fitness, creating an at-home workout platform called The Movement Club, and matching equipment like her new Everything Band. "Being able to get workouts that are efficient, that are actually effective, but that are quick, not wasting my time - that's everything we do here," she says. These home workouts also play a big role in Arnold's personal routine, giving her time to clear her head, break a sweat, and set the tone for the day.
"What works for me is waking up before my kids," she says. "Every single day looks like a warm-up with some form of cardio, whether that's hopping on a bike ride, walking on the treadmill - just easing my body into 'wake up, we're moving.' Then it's always finished off with at least a 30-minute Movement Club workout."
"I always try to do something for myself after my workout."She takes recovery seriously, too . . . and we're not just talking rest days. "Before pregnancy, I was doing saunas and cold plunges every single morning after my workouts," Arnold says. "I've shifted during pregnancy for safety reasons, but I always try to do something for myself after my workout . . . to collect my body and my mind before getting into the craziness of motherhood."
It's true what they say: consistency is key. But if you ask Arnold, we may have lost the plot about what that actually means. It doesn't have to be such a tremendous barrier, she explains. In fact, consistency can actually be a major source of motivation. Sleep through your alarm? That's OK. Feeling low energy? No worries. Even a little movement is better than nothing at all.
"People think that being consistent means you have to be perfect, and that every workout needs to look a certain way . . . if you can throw that out the window, you're going to find that consistency can be a lot more attainable," Arnold says. "Consistency could be a five-minute walk. It could be a five-minute stretch video. It could be a five-minute arm class."
"Consistency could be a five-minute walk."Since having kids, what once was a purely functional tool for Arnold's work on "Dancing With the Stars" is now one of her biggest outlets. Working out is how she manages stress, gets her endorphins flowing, and carves out time for herself as a mom and a businesswoman.
"[Focus on] the 'why' and what it's giving to you - what moving your body makes you feel, rather than looking at it as a punishment or something that you have to do," Arnold says. "My 'why' is truly because I - without a doubt - show up better as a mother, wife, friend, sister, business owner when I'm consistent with my movement."
This realization didn't happen overnight. At the start of Arnold's wellness journey, her "why" was completely different, and looking back, far less effective. "I will admit when I was younger, my 'why' was because I wanted to look a certain way, or I needed to fit into a costume . . . and that is just not attainable. It's not long term, especially as women, when we go through so many changes in our body," she says.
"Shifting my 'why' to how movement makes me feel and how I can truly be a better version of myself . . . has helped me be more consistent than any other 'why' that I've had in my life so far."
