Vanna White reveals the workout routine she uses to stay healthy
We know that building muscle mass is one of the most important things that we can do, especially when it comes to combatting sarcopenia, or age-related muscle loss. White knows this, which is why she says lifting weights is the key to her workout routine.
“I exercise all the time because I have to wear a different dress every single day, and I need to fit into those dresses. A lot of them are sleeveless, too, so I really concentrate on my arms, because they’re always exposed. So I like to lift 10-pound weights,” White says. “I also do Peloton and Pilates.”

The game show co-host added, “I exercise on a regular basis and try to eat well most of the time.”
She auctioned off one of her iconic dresses for charity
Speaking of sleeveless dresses, one of the more memorable ones White wore was a custom Bob Mackie dress, which was recently sold at auction to raise money for the Wheel of Fortune WishMaker campaign.
“I mean, Bob Mackie, what an icon, right? It was such an honor to work with him, and he was so nice and kind and so talented,” White exclaims. “So it’s actually the dress that I wore on the show that we’re auctioning off. It’s very special. He is one of the most incredible designers I’ve ever worked with.”
Vanna White opens up about filming ‘Wheel of Fortune’
Wheel of Fortune might air every weeknight, but according to White they don’t film each day. In fact, sometimes they film multiple episodes at once.
“In all these years, it really hasn’t changed. I show up in the morning, around seven o’clock. We normally do a little fitting to try dresses on, not necessarily for that day, for future shows; I go into hair and makeup, then we start our first show—we do five or six shows that day—and I go home,” White says.
White has been co-hosting the show with Ryan Seacrest, 51, since shortly after Pat Sajak left the show in June 24 after 41 seasons.
“Ryan and I have been friends for over 20 years, so when he stepped into this position, it was like a good friend,” White shares. “We’ve never worked together, but we’re both from the south, and we both are the same kind of person, so we have just bonded. We work off of each other. He’s professional, he’s kind, he’s hard working and it’s great to work with him.”
Wheel of Fortune airs every week nigh—check your local listings for the exact time. It’s also available to stream on Hulu and Peacock.
