Fitness routine: I get up early for a water workout, wearing a weight vest in the deep end of my pool. I love being outdoors, too, so I usually get in a fast-pace walk in the morning and again at night. I also work out to dance videos.

Piece of equipment you can't live without: My infrared sauna

Shoes you wish you owned 10 pairs of:  Adidas FitFoam sandals and my snakeskin-clog boots

Proudest exercise moment: Beating a reporter in full-court one-on-one after he said, "No female can ever beat me in basketball."
