Kate Micucci is playing the guitar in a pool wearing a swimsuit. In a recent social media post the Big Bang Theory star shows off her amazing body in a swimsuit while playing music. “Absolutely gorgeous darling,” commented one of her followers. “Looking good,” added another. How does the singer-slash-actress, who played Lucy on the hit television show, approach health and wellness? Celebwell rounded up her top lifestyle habits, shortly before her benefit show with Mike Viola for the Bob Baker Marionette Theater.

Kate loves to read. “As far as graphic novels do you know the cartoonist Jeffrey Brown? He’s kind of my favorite right now. I’m not sure what [his work is] considered, really. He does these amazing books mainly about his relationships and they’re awesome. You can pick them up at comic stores,” she told Nerdly.
2. She Walks
Whether she is in Los Angeles or New York, you can find Kate walking around the city. 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.
3. She Swims
Kate spends a lot of time in the pool swimming. Swimming is a good way to get regular aerobic physical activity, according to the CDC. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, there are multiple studies supporting the mental health benefits of swimming as well.
4. She Skateboards
Kate also skateboards. “Post swim skate,” she captioned this post. Skateboarding is an excellent workout that combines cardio, strength, and balance training, explains Beyond the Board. “It's a fun way to get fit, tone muscles, and improve overall health while having a blast!”
5. She Hydrates
Kate makes sure to hydrate. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.
