Brooke Burke, 52, reveals what she is doing in 2024 to ‘strengthen my self-confidence’ as she shows off her abs in a bikini while in Malibu
Brooke Burke was spotted in a colorful bikini on Monday as she spoke to DailyMail.com in Malibu about her 2024 fitness goals.
The former Dancing With The Stars champion and co-host said she hopes to “reset” her body so she has more energy.
That means she will use meditation more as part of her daily routine.
'I use a meditation guided by my voice so that I can relax. It's all about body, mind and spirit together,” she shared.
“Through daily meditation, we will retrain our brains and develop new habits to change our perspective and achieve and complete our wellness goals,” she added.
'I guide followers through training and mindfulness exercises designed to strengthen not only your self-confidence, but also your mental resilience.'

And she also said that feeling good has a lot to do with “community, connection and awareness.”
'Meditation helps reduce stress, control anxiety and improve sleep. It helps extend attention span, reduce age-related memory loss and promote emotional health. It can even help manage pain, lower blood pressure and support recovery. Most importantly, meditation promotes kindness,” says Brooke.
“And the world can always use more kindness!”
According to Psychology Today, meditation is a mental exercise that trains attention and awareness. Its purpose is often to curb the response to one's negative thoughts and feelings, which, while they can be distressing and disturbing and can hijack one's attention from moment to moment, are always fleeting.'
The site also shared that there are many benefits: 'It is impossible for us to make our thoughts disappear; Often, the more we try to suppress them, the louder they become. But practicing meditation can help clear the mind's chatter. Studies show that meditating for even 10 minutes increases the brain's alpha waves (associated with relaxation) and reduces anxiety and depression.”
In December, Brooke spoke to DailyMail.com about getting enough rest.
“You have to sleep at least eight hours a night,” Maxim's cover girl said.
'You can get by on less, for example seven hours is fine, but eight hours is better because sleep allows your body to repair itself.'
She also noted that eight hours of sleep is bliss. “It's basic and makes you look young,” she said.
According to the Center for Disease Control and PreventionEight hours a night is a good sleep goal, adding that good sleep quality is also essential. The site shared that it is vital not to be constantly woken up by noise such as snoring.
“Through daily meditation, we will retrain our brains and develop new habits to change our perspective and achieve and complete our wellness goals,” she added.
This comes after the star spoke to DailyMail.com about dieting to help her quit 21 Day Fitness Challenge.
She discussed the joys of intermittent fasting, which is becoming increasingly popular. It means eating in an eight-hour window and then not eating for the remaining 16 hours a day.
“It's a simple but powerful concept: limit eating to an eight-hour window and fast for the remaining 16 hours of the day,” Brooke told DailyMail.com.
“For example, if you eat at 7 p.m., your next meal will be at 11 a.m. the next morning,” she explained.
'This timing cycle essentially causes your body to burn stored fat.
'During a “fasting state” – the hours when your body is not consuming or digesting food – your body has no recently consumed meal to use for energy, so it draws energy from the fat stored in your body.
She then said: 'I guide followers through training and mindfulness exercises designed to boost not only your self-confidence, but also your mental resilience'
'Intermittent fasting trains your body to consume food more efficiently and burn fat for fuel.
'Fasting can make you hungry or tired, but bridging the time with your normal sleep cycle makes it much easier to embrace it.

And she talked about Mindful Mondays.
“Start each week by taking time – before your schedule gets busy – to calm and cleanse both your mind and your body.
'Whether you practice yoga, meditation or even simple breathwork, the most important thing is that you find a way to center yourself, focus your intentions and make conscious choices for the week ahead.
'Mondays are the perfect days to “Go Green” with fresh, delicious and nutritious fruits and vegetables.
'Go to the local farmer's market or organic food store and stock up.
'Here are just a few examples of mainly plant-based meals that are simple, fresh and light. There's no reason to go hungry if you nourish your body with crunchy vegetables, healthy soups, hot green tea and plenty of water.'
“One of my favorite meals is a junk food salad,” she told DailyMail.com.
'It's a funny name I came up with for a salad I make at home that consists of whatever is in my fridge. I use chicken from the night before or salmon, vegetables I happen to have like broccoli or tomatoes, and maybe even seeds and nuts, I just add it all.”
And she explained that she makes her own healthy dressing. “I will mix olive oil, which is a good fat, Dijon mustard, vinegar, salt and lemon in a mason jar so it will keep,” she noted.
It takes three weeks to form a new habit, she said, and that's exactly the duration of her new 21-day fitness challenge. “And one of the healthy habits we're going to create is a daily meditation practice. Trust me on this firstly, the benefits for the mind and body are incredible.”
'You find your strength in the space of silence. Make meditation a habit. Forming new habits is easier than we think. We actually do it all the time.
“When school starts, we shift our morning schedule to get everyone ready on time. When our children's extracurricular activities change, we adjust our afternoon routine to manage new pick-ups and drop-offs. We don't think much about it… when we meet the needs of others.

“Maybe the reason we so easily enable change for others but not for ourselves is because we view self-care as optional. That's where we need to change our mindset.
In just three weeks, she said anyone can replace unhealthy habits with healthy ones.
'We can reshape our bodies and reconnect with our authentic selves. We can integrate fitness into our daily routine and discover the power of nutritious (and delicious) food. And we can embrace mindful meditation that will help us stay centered and focused.
'Give yourself three weeks and experience the magic of meditation and mindfulness. The new 21 Day Fitness Challenge is the ideal program to achieve your summer health and wellness goals, focusing on both fitness and mindfulness.
'It's about new beginnings and letting go of old patterns.'
The program contains training, recipes, meditation and other tips.
She will marry her longtime fiancé Scott Rigsby in 2024, she exclusively revealed to DailyMail.com.
And the Dancing With The Stars veteran also shared that she won't be wearing a white wedding dress on her big day.
“I've already done white,” the fitness expert shared with DailyMail.com.
The cover girl has been married twice before: to plastic surgeon Garth Fisher from 2001 to 2005 and then to Baywatch actor Dave Charvet from 2011 to 2020.
'I might be a little daring when I look at fun colours. I was thinking more of a nude shade, I really like nude shades these days, they are so elegant,” the TV presenter added.
