Pamela Anderson adopts daily movement and gardening over gym workouts

Pamela Anderson, 59, has adopted a fitness approach centered on Non-Exercise Activity Thermogenesis (NEAT) rather than traditional gym workouts. Living on Vancouver Island, she avoids formal training sessions in favor of integrating movement into her daily life.

Anderson has stated that she does not intend to convert the basement of her home into a gym. Instead, she prioritizes spontaneous physical activity such as walking, household chores, and outdoor tasks. She specifically highlighted gardening as an excellent form of exercise, noting to People magazine that she considers it better than going to the gym.

This method of increasing energy expenditure through non-planned daily activities is recognized for supporting cardiovascular and metabolic health by reducing sedentary time.
