Fitness Influencer Lucy Wyndham-Read in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Tips for Your Knees"

Lucy Wyndham-Read is offering some workout tips in her exercise gear. In a new social media post the fitness influencer schools her followers about how to keep knees healthy, while showing off her amazing figure in a two-piece exercise set. "Today's live session focuses entirely on YOUR knees. We'll cover simple knee exercises to enhance your knee health, along with the movements you should steer clear of to safeguard your knees," she writes about the Instagram video. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Lucy is a big advocate of getting your steps in. "If you want to lose excess body fat then you could also aim to do 4 walks a week; these should be between 15 to 20 minutes," she says in her 7 Day Eating Plan. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

Lucy enjoys skiing. "It has always been a goal of mine to try Cross Country Skiing🎿 so I booked a 2 hour lesson with @richyetel and a few falls but by the end I did manage a little cross country skiing," she wrote in a recent post. Research has linked downhill skiing to a number of health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress and the occurrence of memory deficits declines.

You can usually find Lucy with a cup of coffee in her hand. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. "It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function," they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

Lucy is an advocate for mental health. "Thought-provoking Quote 🌸 for all of LucysSquad 💕💕💕 This will help encourage you to erase negative thoughts and anxiety 🌸If you are someone that suffers with anxiety you probably have a mind that tortures you, it constantly keeps you negative, scared and worrying about things (that are probably highly likely to ever happen) SO if you can try and take control and when those negative thoughts arise just remember they are only thoughts and NOT REAL," she wrote on Instagram.

Most of Lucy's workouts are low impact strength training focused. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

• Develop strong bones
• Manage your weight
• Enhance your quality of life
• Manage chronic conditions
• Sharpen your thinking skills
