Hager's extreme workout goals

According to an anonymous source cited by RadarOnline, Hager's weight loss efforts go beyond extreme workouts, as she is also overly dieting due to her concern about the camera adding ten pounds. Besides co-hosting ‘Today With Hoda & Jenna’ with Hoda Kotb, and running a popular book club, Hager is also a busy mom to her three children, Mila, Poppy, and Hal, whom she raises with her husband Henry Chase Hager.

Hager's busy schedule leaves her with limited free time to keep up with outside responsibilities. Talking about her workout session, the insider said, "It's more than just extreme workouts. She's aware the camera adds 10 pounds and she's trying to overcompensate by dieting and exercising like crazy. Her daily workouts would leave the average person with jelly legs — but she's also reduced her daily calorie intake." They added, "People around her are worried."

Jenna reportedly consumes a light lunch and dinner and starts her day with a green juice. Her busy schedule and eating habits have caused concerns among people close to her. In a recent interview, Hager expressed that she feels great as she is leading a healthier lifestyle that involves meditation and healthy eating.

Beans, broccoli and bouncing

Hager shared that she frequently uses a Peloton or lifts weights for her workouts, but enjoys doing dance cardio or bouncing on mini trampolines when she can.

These details were disclosed by Hager in an interview with Women's Health. "I have to be really cognizant of what I put in my body, and I think I realized [in the past] that I wasn't doing that to the best of my ability," she shared.
