Ariana James is training her back – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the fashion model shows off her chiseled back muscles in exercise clothes during a strength training workout at the gym. “Back attack,” she writes in the caption. “One of my favorite parts to train.” How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


Protein

Ariana prioritizes protein. She loves drinking protein shakes to hit her daily goals. “Panamá Vibes ❤️🙂↔️ Fav time of the day , my protein shake @hitechpharma,” she captioned a post. According to clinical trials, consuming more protein than the recommended dietary allowance not only reduces body weight (BW), but also enhances body composition by decreasing fat mass while preserving fat-free mass (FFM) in both low-calorie and standard-calorie diets.

Walking

Ariana makes sure to get her steps in – even when vacationing. While in Miami she walked on the boardwalk in her bikini. 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.

Dancing and Strength Training

Ariana gets her fitness fix outdoors. “Outdoor workout 🙂 Entr️💪🏼😮 💨 I always start my mornings with music and dancing 🙂 neces️ It activates me a lot and when I need extra energy my pre to give it all,” she revealed in a post. Dancing is a great workout for many reasons. Not only does it build strength and promote flexibility, but 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.

Hot Baths

Ariana appreciates hot water therapy. One way she likes to relax is by taking hot baths. How can baths do your body and mind good? They have been linked to better sleep and even found helpful to minimize anxiety and depression. One recent study even found that they may even boast cardiovascular benefits.

Reading

She also enjoys reading. Here she is relaxing with a good book. One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years compared with people who weren't readers or who read periodicals.
