She hikes
As you can see from her Instagram post, Ferguson likes to hike to keep herself in shape. She shares a lot of posts on her page of herself going hiking. ACE Fitness states that hiking has a lot of benefits. “Hiking is cardiovascular in nature, so it can provide great benefit to heart health while also improving blood pressure and blood sugar levels. Hiking helps increase the strength in the leg muscles, builds stability in the core muscles and enhances balance skills. The more technical the terrain is, along with an increase in climbing intensity, the more balance and core strength is required because more muscles are being recruited to manage the steeper terrain. As you climb, the larger muscles in your legs are activated (such as the quadriceps, glutes, hamstrings and calves), and on the descent, your glutes and quadriceps are working hard to prevent you from falling forward on the decline. Uneven terrain means many of the smaller stabilizer muscles are being worked, which increases stability and balance overall.”
She Swims
Ferguson spends a lot of time outside. An outdoor activity she does to keep herself in shape is going swimming. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself in the water. Ferguson shared this video of herself in a hot spring. She captioned it, “Somewhere between gems and potatoes 🤎♨📍 Bonneville Hot Springs. Idaho has 120 soak-able hot springs, it’s one of my favorite states for this reason. It’s my second year in a row hot spring hopping in Idaho for my birthday and I’m well on my way to experiencing them all 🤎”
She Does Yoga
Ferguson likes to do yoga to keep herself in shape. And she doesn’t stick to the traditional classes. Ferguson shared this post on Instagram of herself taking a goat yoga class. According to John Hopkins Medicine, yoga has a lot of benefits. “Yoga improves strength, balance and flexibility.Slow movements and deep breathing increase blood flow and warm up muscles, while holding a pose can build strength.”
