Brody Malone's Fiancé Serena Ortiz in Bathing Suit Says "God Bless America"

Serena Ortiz is feeling patriotic – in her bathing suit. In a new social media post the fiancé of Olympian Brody Malone shows off her amazing body and love for America in a flag-inspired bathing suit. “I just got 3 things to say: God bless our troops, God bless America, AND GENTLEMAN START YOUR ENGINES🇺🇸🇺🇸.” How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Hiking

Serena enjoys hiking. “Quality time in quality places with quality people 😎,” she captioned a post, which included photos of herself hiking with friends. 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

2. Snorkeling

When on vacation, Serena throws on a mask and fins and goes snorkeling. Surprisingly, putting on a snorkel and fins and swimming through the water is a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.

3. Walking

Serena gets her steps in. Here she is walking on the beach. 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.

4. Skateboarding

Serena, who spent a lot of time in California, is a skater girl. “I can hear my dad and @brody1700 yelling at me for this #rebel #haha #skatergirl #trendy #haha,” she captioned a 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. Coffee

Serena enjoys the perks of coffee. Here she is enjoying a cup. 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.
