Alex Drummond’s exercise routine is pretty simple these days: walk, mom, repeat!
The mother of one (but soon to be two!) recently answered a question during an Instagram Q&A about what she’s doing for exercise while pregnant and her answer was about as real as it gets. These days, walking is the main event! There’s no complicated routine and no big dramatic fitness plan. Alex has just been getting outside when she can, getting her steps in, and keeping up with Sofia—which honestly deserves its own category of cardio!
Alex and her husband Mauricio are expecting a baby boy this fall and Alex has been very open about the fact that this season of life looks a little different. She has a toddler at home, the fluffiest golden retriever in the mix, and a growing baby bump. That’s a lot of moving parts! Sometimes literally.
So, walking makes sense. Alex has shared plenty of neighborhood strolls with Sofia and George before and it’s easy to picture the whole crew out together: stroller rolling, dog sniffing, mom getting her steps in, and Sofia probably keeping everyone on schedule.
And when the weather gets less cooperative? Alex has always appreciated a good mall walk, too! There’s air conditioning, smooth floors, maybe a coffee involved somewhere along the way. That’s not a bad setup, especially when you’re pregnant and just trying to keep moving without making life harder than it needs to be. (Especially in Dallas during the summer!)
It also feels very in line with Ree Drummond’s own approach to exercise over the years. Ree has written before that walking with the dogs helped her move more and feel better and there’s something so nice about that. Nothing beats a little fresh air with the animals you love!
And for Alex, that seems to be plenty right now. Between pregnancy, motherhood, and chasing after Sofia, she’s already doing a whole lot!
