Gwyneth Paltrow said:

“I try to do exercises every day for my back and neck because of all the Zoom calls I’m on. My husband, Brad, and I take a walk at least three or four times a week”.

The CEO and founder of Goop also pursued workout sessions online, saying:

“I’ve been doing a lot of online classes: Tracy Anderson, the class by Taryn Toomey, Bulldog Yoga, CorePower yoga”.

Paltrow's Life during Pandemic

Paltroe has said that she slowed down during the pandemic. The actress added that earlier her life was moving very fast, but during the lockdown, she felt different and happier with her family around. She said:

“Now I feel different, letting my body go to sleep and wake up in its natural rhythm, having my kids around all the time, eating meals together and having meaningful conversations."

She added:

“We linger at the table, our dinners are an hour and a half long. My heart feels fuller, and my mind feels calmer in that respect”.

The actress felt that before the pandemic, she had a busy schedule, traveled a lot and didn’t have much time for her kids. However, during the lockdown, she was surrounded by her kids all the time, which made her calmer and fuller.

Even though the situation outside was bad, Paltrow didn’t let that affect her mental and physical health. She kept herself busy with her husband and kids, worked on her body and made full and productive use of her time.
