Between her hosting gig at MSNBC?s NewsNation, filling in on the Today show, and darting around to interview some of our nation?s top leaders, Tamron Hall has zero down time. But the Texas native and former track star still manages to stay fit, healthy, and?amazingly?calm. We were lucky enough to catch up with her and snag a few words of advice.
WH With such a hectic schedule, how do you find the time to work out?
TH I always travel with my workout DVDs. I am not a big gym person, so the DVDs are perfect for me. I have a fit ball (soft ball) and a resistance band that I use along with the videos. I have been in love with workout tapes since the 90s and Cindy Crawford and her trainer Radu changed my life.? I still own the tape but I don?t have a VHS player!
WH You ran track in college. Aside from sprinting between shows, do you still get out and run?
TH My knees are not up to the challenge?I ran from the age of four all the way to college. Years of track meets and year-round training were not kind. I do Pilates one day a week?it?s perfect since I have knee trouble. I have been doing Pilates for the past six years at least twice a week, but with my busy schedule I?ve had to cut back to only one day.
WH It?s 4 pm and you?re dead from a 4 am wake-up call. How do you keep your energy up?
TH For me, crashing is not an option. Green tea and laughter with my NewsNation team always does the trick. I also chew a ton of gum, which I just read causes tummy fat?yikes! Right now, I?ve got 4 different types on my desk ?all sugar-free but fruity.
WH What?s your best beauty secret for looking fresh on camera?
TH Concealer and Bobbi Brown yellow under eye powder. It gives my skin color a nice pop.
WH You?ve been known to rock some sky-high heels. In a world of blazers, how did you cultivate such a fun sense of fashion?
TH I am a southern girl who loves color! Since my hair is short, I often avoid wearing things that look too masculine. I love dresses and feminine tops, and a nice pencil skirt can cure any fashion crisis. Whenever I wear pants, my producers give me grief because it?s such a rare sight. Away from work though, I only wear jeans, which is funny. As for shoes, I won?t wear anything lower than 4 inches?which I know will come back to haunt me one day.
WH How do you stay on top of the constant flow of news?
TH I actually sleep very little. I?m working on that problem though by turning on the sleep setting for my TV and sipping a bedtime tea. As I wait on those tricks to kick in, I watch and read the news.? I am a techie, so I no longer get the newspaper delivered to my home. I get everything on my iPad or my computer.
WH Live TV can be a circus. How do you keep your cool when things go haywire?
TH Whenever I feel like I?m going to lose my cool, I just remember that my mom is watching! I know that if I have a meltdown, I will cause my family great embarrassment. My NewsNation team says I laugh a lot and I keep things in perspective (I know because I just asked them while writing this answer). I don?t sweat the small stuff. If it?s a big thing, I try to tell myself that it won?t last forever, so let?s not feed the beast and go crazy. Of course, that doesn?t mean I haven?t had my share of mini-meltdowns in the past?I guess that?s why we have hot baths.
