Simply petting your dog can make you feel less stressed.”

Hughes shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with Boston Magazine. She says that she loves to practice yoga. “I like a vigorous flow, ashtanga, and sometimes Bikram. I try to practice at least three time per week. I sometimes take my yoga mat into my dressing room if I haven’t managed to go.”

3. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

Hughes does a variety of workouts, and shared what she enjoys doing with Boston Magazine. “I love walking and swimming, and I also take online ballet classes. I used to be a ballet dancer, I started when I was three. I was dancing on television at 15 and in a ballet company at 18. I was in the original cast of Cats over in London. I’ve done everything, really. I took my kids rock climbing the other day. I love spin classes, and I even have my own spin shoes. I love bootcamp, too. I love paddleboarding. Actually, I have not yet found something that I don’t like.”

4. She Eats Healthy

Hughes makes sure to eat healthy. She described her diet with Boston Magazine. “I’m not really into fad diets. My family and I am more inclined towards the Mediterranean way of eating. We eat very European in that respect. Rice and fish, olive oil… we grow all our own vegetables where I live in Santa Barbara. We have two vegetable plots with fruit trees, different lettuces, corn, beets, potatoes, strawberries, loads of berries, apples, and more. We eat off the land.”

5. She Hikes

As you can see from her Instagram post, Hughes likes to hike. Piedmont states that hiking has a lot of benefits. “Going up and down hills gets the heart pumping, creating a great cardio workout. Like most cardio exercises, hiking helps reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and even some cancers. Hiking is a weight-bearing exercise, which builds muscle mass and helps prevent osteoporosis.”

As you can see from her recent post, one thing Reilly does to stay in shape is going for hikes. She captioned the post, “Loving this hike at #mossrock recently I’ve been taking time to explore the park in #birminghamalabama and it’s a gem! I love the rock formations and #waterfalls my fav spots overlook the mountains and our other fav spot is the upper rock ponds!”

2. She Collects Rain Water

Reilly is all about helping the environment. In this Instagram post, she revealed that she and her family like to recycle and collect rain water. She captioned the post, “Have you tried making a simple rainwater catcher? Its easy get an attachment for your gutters buckets OR add DIY rain barrels with faucets It’s #worldwaterday I’ve learned a lot about water when traveling to other countries - one big thing is access to water 💦 we take it for granted bc clean water comes from our spouts - on amazing race we had to go to a well fill up giant water containers and cart them back to the village - in CA & NV we always worried about a drought & I saw the levels of lake mead shrink year by year! Clean Drinkable Water is precious so slide through for ways to save water! Even if your state gets lots of water it’s important to save when you can. - turn off the faucet when you brush your teeth or shave - take shorter showers - water plants with your rain water - recycle water you use for boiling pasta.”

3. She Intermittent Fasts

In the caption of this Instagram post, Reilly revealed that she intermittent fasts. According to John Hopkins Medicine, intermittent fasting can help with obesity. “In animal studies, intermittent fasting prevented obesity. And, in six brief studies, obese adult humans lost weight through intermittent fasting. People with type 2 diabetes may benefit: Most of the available research shows that intermittent fasting can help people lose body weight and lower their levels of fasting glucose, fasting insulin and leptin while reducing insulin resistance, decreasing levels of leptin and increasing levels of adiponectin. Certain studies found that some patients practicing intermittent fasting with supervision by their doctors were able to reverse their need for insulin therapy.”

4. She Bikes

Reilly shared these photos on Instagram of herself on a bike ride. She captioned the post, “Outdoor biking 🚴‍♀️ with hills > spin classes! Also way harder like ✨🔥 thankful @brendonvbb12 has the kids attached to his bike!” A Healthier Michigan states that biking has a lot of benefits. “All that work your body is doing by pedaling and balancing not only works muscles in your arms and core, but it counts as serious cardio exercise and burns calories with every spin of the wheels. By biking at a moderate pace, about 12 or 13 miles per hour, a person weighing 155 pounds burns nearly 300 calories in 30 minutes, according to statistics shared by Harvard University. Like to pedal faster? A person of that same weight doing a fast pace of 14 or 15 miles per hour burns more than 370 calories in 30 minutes.”

5. She Goes To The Beach

Reilly spends a lot of time outside, and she loves going to the beach. She shared this photo on Instagram of herself on the beach. Med India states that going to the beach has a lot of benefits. “Spending time under the blue sky, experiencing the fresh air, admiring the sound and smell of splashing ocean waves, peacefully relaxing under the sunshine and feeling the warm sand beneath your toes can do magical wonders to your health and well-being. A day at the seaside can cause changes in your brain that make you feel happier, more relaxed, and full of energy. So, make sure you visit the beach to gain these amazing health benefits for healthy mind, soul, and body.”

Dani Speegle is a well-known CrossFit athlete with a large following on Instagram. She recently enjoyed a trip to Italy, where she shared hiking photos from her adventure. She captioned the post, “Just a constant battle to try and not say ‘I like that boulder…..that’s a nice boulder…’ whenever I look out at a view 🫏.” Speegle’s love for the outdoors and her fitness routine are key to her success. Here’s how she stays fit and active:

1. She Hikes

As you can see from her post, Speegle likes to go for hikes to stay in shape. Piedmont reports that hiking is very beneficial to your health. “Going up and down hills gets the heart pumping, creating a great cardio workout. Like most cardio exercises, hiking helps reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and even some cancers. Hiking is a weight-bearing exercise that builds muscle mass and helps prevent osteoporosis.”

2. She Lifts Weights

Speegle shares a lot of workout videos on Instagram. One thing she does to stay in shape is use weights. Speegle is seen lifting a barbell and using hand barbells in this video. She captioned it, “Happy that quarterfinals is over tbh 😂 back to training we go 🙌🏼” ACE Fitness states that lifting weights has a lot of benefits. “Using heavy weights increases intramuscular coordination, the number of type II motor units and the amount of muscle fibers engaged within a specific muscle. Have you ever felt your muscles shaking while lifting heavy weights? This is because you are recruiting and activating the larger type II muscle fibers, which are only stimulated to work when a muscle is challenged with heavy resistance or working to fatigue.”

3. She Does Lunges

Speegle also shared this video on Instagram of herself working out with Sam Dancer. In it, she is seen doing lunges with weights. Lunges have a lot of benefits, according to ACE Fitness. “If you're doing front and back lunges, you’ll primarily be working the gluteus maximus, adductors, and quadriceps. Side lunges will work the gluteus medius more. And if you’re taking bigger steps forward and back, you’ll use more of the glute muscles, while smaller steps will target the quadriceps more.”

4. She Uses An Exercise Bike

Speegle is also seen on an exercise bike in the previous Instagram video. Penn State PRO Wellness states that doing this can be very beneficial. “Riding a stationary exercise bike is an efficient and effective way to burn calories and body fat while strengthening your heart, lungs, and muscles. Compared to some other types of cardio equipment, a stationary bicycle puts less stress on your joints, but it still provides an excellent aerobic workout.”

5. She Swims

Speegle spends a lot of time outside. One thing she likes to do is swim. Speegle shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself and a friend enjoying drinks while swimming. She captioned the post, “Imagine hating us and we’re just out here collecting sea glass 😂” Better Health states that swimming is very beneficial. “Swimming is a great recreational activity for people of all ages. Recreational swimming can provide you with a low-impact workout and it's a good way to relax and feel good.”
