In addition to a step-by-step guide to several of Maria’s favorite Krav Maga exercises, she also dishes on the workout equipment she has at home.

“A bowl of raisin bran, Grape-Nuts and soy milk,” she said, describing her “Express Breakfast.” “I need to fill up because being in TV, where things pop up all the time, I often don’t know when I’ll get to eat again.”
