What To Know About Kamala Harris’ Diet And Workout Routine

In case you missed it, President Joe Biden announced on Sunday that he will not run for re-election. He also endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for the job, and plenty of big names in the Democratic Party have done the same.

With that, there’s a lot of attention on Harris right now, including her professional accomplishments and personal life. After all, Harris was the first female vice president of the U.S., and if she’s elected in November, will become the first female president ever.

While she’s super busy helping to run the country, the 59-year-old has made it clear that staying health is a priority for her. So, what does Harris do for wellness? Here’s everything she’s publicly shared about her routine.

Kamala Harris works out every single day.

Exercise is super important to Harris, and she’ll work up a sweat, even when she’s wiped.

“I work out every morning, regardless of how much sleep I’ve had,” she told former President Barack Obama in a 2020 interview. “It’s just the best way to start the day.”

She starts her day off with fiber.

Harris tends to eat breakfast after she works out. “I usually stand at my kitchen counter eating some kind of Raisin Bran in almond milk while I look at my schedule for the day,” she told The Cut in 2018. “It’s the generic Raisin Bran that I get from the grocery store—I try to not have a lot of sugar in it.”

The VP also said that she likes to have tea with honey and lemon, too. “Then, I’m out the door,” she added.

Harris has also been known to buy her produce from local farmers’ markets, having frequently been spotted at the DuPont Circle one in Washington, D.C.

She’s a fan of Soul Cycle on the weekends.

Harris seems to focus on low-impact workouts. Each morning, she usually will do 30 minutes on the elliptical or SoulCycle, telling The Cut, “sometimes I swim if it’s not going to create an issue with my hair.”

On the weekend, she likes to do Soul Survivor, which is a longer and more intense SoulCycle class. Harris’ husband Doug Emhoff has shared that the couple also like taking six- or seven-mile walks together, per Men’s Health.

She used homemade weights during the pandemic.

During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, when people were snapping up home exercise equipment, Harris got creative with her sweat sessions. “I had liter water bottles that I filled, of course, with water to use them as hand weights,” she told Obama during their 2020 interview.

Emhoff also got ahold of a stationary bike that he put together for her, he told Men’s Health in 2020. “She’d be watching the news, getting ready for her day, lifting a pair of weights made of water bottles and biking on a bike I put together,” he said.

Harris and Doug Emhoff work out together.

Harris is workouts buddies with Emhoff. “I don’t know if we talked about that on our first date, but if came up when we started spending time together, I realized I had to up my game,” Emhoff told Men’s Health. “It’s not like I can sit around and eat a bowl of cereal while she works out.”

Emhoff said his wife inspired him to work out more. “I’m in way better shape now than I was 10 years ago.”

The couple were even spotted in 2021 running up and down the steps of the Lincoln Memorial together.
