Brooke Monk is flashing her abs during a flash dance. In a new social media post the influencer shows off her amazing figure and impressive dance moves. "POV: how every mom dances to this 80s trend," she writes over the Instagram video, adding "They're all so cute," in the caption. How does the star approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits. 

1

Hiking

Brooke regularly takes hikes. "Morning hikes are fun," she captioned an Instagram post. Why should you take a hike? Not only is it "a great whole-body workout—from head to toe and everything in between," per the National Parks Service but helps with building stronger muscles and bones, improving your sense of balance, improving your heart health, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems are just a few of them. It also offers many mental health benefits, according to a Stanford University study.

Tennis

Brooke is also a tennis player. "Tennis skirts in the sun," she captioned a post. "While tennis provides numerous health benefits—improved aerobic fitness and anaerobic endurance, muscular fitness (grip strength and endurance), flexibility, multiple skill parameters (balance, speed, agility and quickness), reactivity, and power—it also is psychologically demanding," ACE Fitness says.

Meal Prep

Brooke meal preps, a great habit for staying in shape. Studies have found that the more meals you eat prepared away from home, the higher your risk of cardiovascular disease, cancer, and early death. And, one study published in the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity found meal planning was associated with a healthier diet and less obesity.

Coffee

Brooke is a coffee drinker. 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.

Dancing

Brooke shares a lot of videos of herself dancing, a surprisingly good workout that helps build strength and promote flexibility, helps you lose weight and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.
