Emily Bett Rickards in Workout Gear Goes for a Run

Emily Bett Rickards is going for a run – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the actress shows off her amazing body while pounding pavement. "On days when Riley doesn't feel like training for his 170km ultra through the Alps I like to remind him of the time I ran that one time. Here you go @rihowlett," she captioned the Instagram post. How does the star approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits. 

Emily loves spin class. She declared herself a Soul Cycle addict in an interview with Self. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis. df44d9eab23ea271ddde7545ae2c09ec

Emily enjoys hiking. "Those of us eager to partake in the (sunny) Canadian hiking season are shamelessly eavesdropping on every stranger who is boasting about their favourite trails," she wrote about a photo of herself and friends on a trek. 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

When will you find Emily on Sunday mornings at 11 am? "Usually in hot yoga, or at the dog park with my pup," she told Self. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. "Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood," they said. "People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating."

Emily is a tea drinker. "Whisking matcha on the beach in the middle of the Pacific North West is my love language. That and telling me you recycled everything properly. 🍵 ♻️," she captioned a post. Numerous studies have shown that a variety of teas may boost your immune system, fight off inflammation, and even ward off cancer and heart disease.

If Emily could only do one workout, she would "run along the ocean tuned into the 'Zombies, Run!' app. You seriously have to check it out," she told Self. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. "For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories," they say.
