Alicia Keys is going for a hike with her husband – showing off her abs. In a recent social media post, the Grammy-Award winning singer gets a healthy dose of outside exercise with Swizz Beatz. “Surrounding myself with things that are good for me!! Mantra of my lifetime,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps, which included one of her kissing her husband while they overlooked a scenic creek. Why is hiking such a great workout to incorporate into your routine? Celebwell has all the details. And for more fit tips, don't miss this from our sister site, Body Network: The #1 Food to Eat for Weight Loss, Says Woman Who Dropped 50 Pounds.


1. Hiking “Feeds the Soul” Says Alicia

“I love going to the beach. I love hikes. I love working out outside, taking a run through a path,” Alicia once told Conde Nast Traveler. Growing up in New York City it was all about the concrete jungle. Maybe Mount Morris Park in Harlem provided a little green or Central Park. But as I started to seek out the joy of exploring the outdoors, I started to realize more and more how imperative it is to connect with nature. It feeds your soul.”

2. Your Body Burns More Calories Hiking Than Walking

Dr. Edward Phillips, assistant professor of physical medicine and rehabilitation at Harvard Medical School explains to Harvard Health that walking on a winding, wooded trail can help your body build endurance, strength, and coordination. Compared to walking on a flat surface, hiking involves uneven terrain, which requires more energy. More energy means more calories burned. If you are walking uphill, your body will have to work even harder.

3. It’s Actually Similar to Interval Training

Hiking is so intense with all the ups and downs, it reaps similar benefits to interval training, says Dr. Phillips. It alternatives low- and high-intensity exercise.

4. It Also Builds Strength

Walking on an irregular landscape can also build strength. "You are using different muscles when you climb and descend," says Dr. Phillips. It is primarily great for your legs. "Descending works the muscles in the fronts of your thighs, which need to function like a brake to keep you stable," he says.

5. And, It Can Improve Heart Health

There are more benefits to hiking. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health
  • Decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems

6. Studies Have Linked It to Stress Reduction

Hiking is also great for stress, according to multiple studies. A 2019 study in the International Journal of Biometeorology found a link between hiking and reduced levels of the stress hormone cortisol in the blood. Another study in the European Journal of Applied Physiology found that hiking can also help stabilize blood pressure and blood sugar levels.

1. She Hikes

As you can see from her post, Campbell likes to hike to stay in shape. According to Piedmont, hiking has a lot of benefits. “Going up and down hills gets the heart pumping, creating a great cardio workout. Like most cardio exercises, hiking helps reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and even some cancers. Hiking is a weight-bearing exercise, which builds muscle mass and helps prevent osteoporosis. Hiking can help you manage your weight.”

2. She Works Her Legs

In this TikTok, Campbell is seen working out in the gym. She made sure to not skip leg day. Campbell is seen doing leg motions from a plank and donkey kicks. Piedmont reports that lower body workouts are important. “Having strong glutes, quadriceps, hamstrings and calf muscles gives your body a strong foundation and can: Tone your lower body muscles. Boost your metabolism as you increase muscle mass. Give you a higher calorie burn as you train larger muscle groups. Improve your balance. Strengthen your bones. Reduce joint pain. Reduce your risk of injury, particularly in your back and knees.”

3. She Lifts Weights

In the TikTok, Campbell is seen doing deadlifts with two kettlebells. Strength training workouts, like these, have a lot of benefits. The Mayo Clinic reports, “By stressing your bones, strength training can increase bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories. Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities.”

4. She Bikes

Campbell likes to ride bikes to stay in shape. She shared this photo of herself and a friend riding near the beach. A Healthier Michigan states that biking has a lot of benefits. “All that work your body is doing by pedaling and balancing not only works muscles in your arms and core, but it counts as serious cardio exercise and burns calories with every spin of the wheels. By biking at a moderate pace, about 12 or 13 miles per hour, a person weighing 155 pounds burns nearly 300 calories in 30 minutes, according to statistics shared by Harvard University. Like to pedal faster? A person of that same weight doing a fast pace of 14 or 15 miles per hour burns more than 370 calories in 30 minutes.”

5. She Swims

Campbell is seen swimming in this video she posted on Instagram. Better Health states that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Swimming is a good all-round activity because it: keeps your heart rate up but takes some of the impact stress off your body, builds endurance, muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness, helps you maintain a healthy weight, healthy heart and lungs, tones muscles and builds strength, provides an all-over body workout, as nearly all of your muscles are used during swimming.”

Comedian and actress Amy Schumer enjoys hiking, but with a caveat. Schumer posted a hilarious video to her Instagram of her hiking with her husband, chef Chris Fischer. Schumer is seen saying that her and Fischer are on a romantic hike, then shows Fischer walking faster and is way ahead of her. Schumer jokingly asked her husband, “We love hiking, together?” She captioned the video “#hiking #romantichikes.” Schumer has been open about her diet and exercise routines, and her struggles. Here are five things Amy Schumer does to stay in shape.


1. She Goes Hiking

As seen in the video, Schumer takes hikes with her husband. Hiking is a great form of exercise for both your body. “When you walk on a level surface, your body does a really good job of what’s known as passive dynamics,” Daniel Ferris, a professor of engineering and biomechanics at the University of Florida, told Time Magazine. “Thanks to gravitational and kinetic energy, if I start that pendulum swinging, it’s going to keep moving back and forth for a long time without any additional energy input,” he says. But hiking also can have a positive impact on your mind. "Research shows that hiking has a positive impact on combating the symptoms of stress and anxiety, " says Gregory A. Miller, PhD, president of the American Hiking Society said to WebMD. "Being in nature is ingrained in our DNA, and we sometimes forget that."

2. She Embraces Her Body

GettyImages-947973168Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic

Schumer has been a long advocate for body positivity and has stood up to body shamers on social media. "I look in the mirror and I know who I am and I feel beautiful and I feel strong and sexy," she said in an interview on Ellen. "And the people online trolling [me] are in more pain that we can possibly imagine. For women of all ages there's no one too young or too old to understand. It never stops and it really has to be about knowing who you are."

3. She Has SoulCycled

In an interview with InStyle, Schumer revealed that she loves to go with a close friend to the gym, specifically a SoulCycle class. Schumer said, “For exercise, I’ll text [actress] Rachel Feinstein and ask her if she wants to go to a SoulCycle class. We ride very slowly in the back, but they don’t make us feel bad about that. Afterward, we celebrate the workout with a very long lunch and coffee. We’re like elderly women on the Upper West Side.”

4. She Has Had a Personal Trainer

After having a baby in 2019, Schumer began working with trainer, and founder of Corectology, AJ Fisher. While she has joked about sending Fisher a cease and desist, Schumer praised Fisher on her Instagram. “Aj is an amazing trainer and is the reason I feel strong and good and have recovered from my herniated discs and c section,” Schumer wrote. Fisher has posted a lot of her workouts on her Instagram, and her methods focus on alignment and body positioning. In addition, Schumer also works with celebrity trainer Harley Pasternak.

5. She Varies Her Workouts

One of Schumer’s trainers, Harley Pasternak, says that he likes to vary Schumer’s workouts. “The exercises sometimes vary, but I usually pick one exercise for each of the seven major body parts,” Pasternak says to Health.com. “Sometimes I have her just pick one of these exercises and do anywhere from three to five sets with 15 to 30 reps. Other times I'll have her do all seven exercises, doing one to three sets of 15 to 20 reps.”

As you can see from her Instagram story, Potratz likes to go hiking. Harvard Health reports that hiking is very beneficial.“Like brisk walking, hiking is a good way to improve your cardiovascular fitness, particularly if your route includes some hills, which will force your heart to work harder. Taking a hike on the slightly uneven surface of a trail also provides a natural way to engage the core muscles in your torso and to hone your balance skills.”

2. She Eats Healthy

Potratz shares a lot of her diet and exercise tips on Instagram. She makes sure to eat healthy. Potratz shared this video of herself talking about her diet. She captioned it, “Can’t decide what to eat? Steal my meal ideas! Join me on a typical day for diet inspo. I like to keep it high protein, low sugar and delicious.

Let what you think, enjoy! ⬇️🏋🏼‍♀️💪

5. She Strength Trains

As you could probably tell from her past Instagram posts, Potratz likes to strength train to stay in shape. The Mayo Clinicreports that strength training has a lot of health benefits. “By stressing your bones, strength training can increase bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories. Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury.”

Mariana Morais is showing off her ab-fab figure – in a two-piece exercise set. In a new social media post, the fitness influencer flaunts her fantastic figure in a brown sports bra and leggings. “Self Progress & Development is not always linear. Sometimes we take steps back & that’s just a sign to course correct so we can leap forward. If 2024 wasn’t the year you expected, use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, & carry on. It’s you VS you - continue to try, focus on consistency > perfection & you will prevail 🤎 rooting for us all to strengthen our mind & bodies this year,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Strength Training

Mariana relies on old-school strength training to keep her body toned. “Training till failure instead of reps + taking my ab routine up a notch by incorporating weighted exercises,” she wrote about one of her workout tactics. “I can feel my muscles being challenged and am in tune with my movements.” 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

Prioritizing Digestion and Getting Blood Work Done

Other healthy habits? “Prioritizing digestion,” she writes in the same post. “Making sure I get enough fiber & starting off every morning with a juice cleanse. This has helped me feel so much better everyday.” She also gets regular blood work done. “So important to check your levels and know what’s going on in your body routinely! Don’t skip the doc apts, always better to be preventative.”

Hiking

Mariana enjoys hiking. “Elevation therapy,” she captioned a post from one of her fitness adventures. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health
  • Decreasing the risk of some respiratory issues

Mariana does reformer Pilates. “POV: Stepping into the prettiest torture chamber,” she wrote across a video of herself at the studio. Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Emsculpt NEO

Mariana recently got an aesthetic body treatment, Emsculpt NEO. “I’ve heard all the rage about the benefits to spot reducing fat & toning muscle so I had to give it a try to target those pesky lower abs. It was a 10/10 & a great addition to my workout routine,” she wrote.

She’s Consistent

Last year, Culpo was preparing for her wedding. She told E! News that she made sure to be consistent with her wellness in order to prepare. “Really trying to dial in [on] what I eat, how I workout, the workouts that I do. Trying to get them in consistently because you only get married once and I want to feel my best. But this past season it was just hard being so far away from my normal routine and where I typically live."

She Keeps Her Skin Healthy While Traveling

Culpo has amazing skin, and she makes sure to take care of it, even while traveling. “I don't wear any makeup when traveling," she says to Travel + Leisure. "That's one rule because I do feel like you will have a higher chance of breaking out if you are wearing a full face of makeup. A few things I always have with me is some sort of a spray. I love Dr. Barbara Sturm or Caudalie or La Mer. I also absolutely love traveling with a makeup wipe, the Neutrogena wipes are great. Something to just take off the sweat you build up.”

She Keeps Her Skincare Simple

Culpo shared her skincare routines with Byrdie. She says that she keeps her morning and night routine simple. “I am always trying out new products, so what I gravitate toward is often changing. At night, I usually use an oil and a serum. Right now, I love the Clarins Double Serum. In the morning, I use a Vitamin C serum and an SPF, and, typically, I just rinse my skin with warm water instead of using a cleanser. It is something I swear by—it allows for the oils on my skin from sleeping to absorb naturally.”

She Uses Products With Vitamins

Culpo shared some of her favorite skincare products with Byrdie. She says that she uses ones that have vitamins in them. “I have noticed a huge difference in my skin with vitamin C and E. I love the Good Janes H2OMyGod Moisturizer—it's sort of an all-in-one moisturizer that has vitamin C and collagen peptides. As for vitamin E, I actually just purchase the oil from the drugstore. It is super cheap and great to put on any red marks I may get from an occasional breakout. The healing process is so much quicker when I am using Vitamin E oil.”

She Packs Healthy Snacks

Culpo makes sure to eat healthy. She shared some of the snacks she packs with her with Travel + Leisure. "I love the Kind bars. I love any sort of nuts, to be honest with you. They are a go-to snack for me. I would say Peroni Nastro Azzurro 0.0% and some almonds would be perfect! Also, electrolytes to stay hydrated or some sort of collagen beauty powder or something."

Abigail Ratchford’s amazing body has helped her become one of the most famous models on the internet. The 32-year-old, who boasts over 9.1 million followers on Instagram alone, attributes her measurement-defying body to a few simple habits. Here is everything she does to stay fit at 32.

She Follows 4 Diet Rules

Abigail swears that abiding by simple rules helps her stay in shape. “I can’t diet. That just doesn’t work for me,” she told New Beauty. “I started to be healthier by first cutting out soda. Then, I stopped eating after 7 p.m. Finally, I started really watching my portions so I was eating fewer calories every day. And water—lots and lots of water.”

She UsesMyFitnessPal

Abigail explains being accountable for what she eats is crucial. While it’s not “rocket science,” she does use the MyFitnessPal app to track her eating. “I’m the type of person who likes to eat what I want. The app can help anyone do that—you can still eat great food, you just eat less of it,” she added New Beauty.

Pilates

Abigail is a fan of Pilates. “Group workout classes are so big right now, but I always get nervous around other people in settings like that. I have to go at my own pace without a bunch of distractions so, for me, Pilates with a one-on-one instructor works best. It’s not cheap, but then you also aren’t tempted to skip,” she said She added to Men’s Fitness via Muscle & Fitness that the workout “keeps you long and lean” — and the Mayo Clinic agrees. They say it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Balanced Diet

“I love green juices and smoothies. Sometimes I’ll put some protein powder in the morning—I feel like the mix of vegetables, and vitamins and stuff that’s in them, really gives me a lot of energy in the morning. I love BBQ food—my ultimate cheat is a pulled pork sandwich, sweet potato fries, and macaroni and cheese from this great place in LA,” she told Men’s Fitness.

Strength Training
