Burke posed poolside at her Malibu home in a sleek white one-shoulder bikini, showcasing her defined abs and sculpted figure. The photos, which Burke emphasized were “unretouched,” highlighted her dedication to fitness and wellness over the years.
In her Instagram caption, Burke reflected on her transformation and how her mindset has evolved.
“My CORSET Core programs are working,” she wrote. “In my 40s, I was self-conscious about extra baby belly skin. At 50, ohhh, menopause dished out another set of challenges. At 51, a doctor suggested that I get a tummy tuck [I did NOT]. At 53, I love my abs. I love the house. My children were built in. I love the weekly body sculpting commitment.”
Burke went on to highlight how she has learned to “meet herself differently” and embrace every version of herself.
Unlocking Her Core Secrets

The fitness guru credited her toned midsection to her signature CORSET Core programs, which focus on deep core work to tighten and sculpt the abdominal muscles.
She also shared her go-to wellness routine, which includes: Increased protein intake to support muscle growth and fat loss, extended fasting windows to promote fat burning and improve metabolic health, cold plunges and sauna sessions for enhanced fat burning and detoxification, walking daily to stay active and boost cardiovascular health, BB Body sculpting programs to maintain strength and definition, anti-inflammatory diet with occasional indulgences, and core-focused yoga and strength training to maintain her lean, toned physique.
Burke emphasized that consistency and commitment to these practices have been key in maintaining her fitness and overall well-being.
Navigating Life’s Challenges With Resilience

While Burke’s fitness journey has been a triumph, she recently faced a different kind of challenge. Earlier this year, the Malibu resident was forced to evacuate her home due to devastating wildfires in the area. Her nearly 7,000-square-foot Italianate-style villa, which sits on 3.5 acres, was surrounded by flames, leaving Burke and her family in a state of uncertainty.
“I am searching for my strength hour by hour… life can change so quickly,” Burke told DailyMail during the ordeal. “My heart is with those affected as I focus on caring for my family, pets, and community during this challenging time.”
Despite the chaos, Burke expressed gratitude for the firefighters and first responders who worked tirelessly to protect her neighborhood.

In addition to her television success, Burke has built a thriving fitness empire. She launched the Brooke Burke Body fitness app in 2017, offering a range of workout programs designed to empower women to take charge of their health. Since 2023, she has served as the host of “Penn & Teller: Fool Us,” further solidifying her status as a versatile media personality.
