2. She Works Out While Traveling

Smalls does a lot of traveling. However, she always makes sure to still work out when she’s on the road. She shared her secrets for doing so in her Harper’s Bazaar interview. "I always make sure whatever hotel I'm staying in has a gym. And then I work out for 30 minutes or an hour with a little bit of cardio and core work, and I hit my glutes and legs."

3. She Eats A Healthy Breakfast

Smalls shared some of her diet and fitness secrets in an interview with WSJ Magazine. She says that she makes sure to eat a healthy breakfast each day. “I’ll do oatmeal,” she said. “Other times I’ll do scrambled eggs, turkey bacon and a piece of toast, slice of avocado. Other days it’s fruit. Before I eat, I tend to drink water.”

4. She Does A Variety Of Workouts

Smalls tells WSJ Magazine that she does a variety of different exercises. “I’ve been doing 45 minutes [a day]—it’s mostly resistance training with my own body. I’ll do planks, I’ll do different types of sit-ups, anything that’s for my core because I have scoliosis. I do a lot of glute work: kickbacks, squats, fire hydrants. Cardio, I’ll do maybe three times a week. When I was in Puerto Rico, I’d run outside because it gave me a nice view to be outdoors and running in between palm trees. I haven’t done Muay Thai in over a year now, and I’m starting to miss it. I believe a girl should always be able to throw a good punch. It’s a good self-defense.”

5. She Enjoys Working Out

Smalls enjoys working out. She talked about this in an interview with Vogue. “I actually like working out. It’s such a stress reliever when you’re just focusing on yourself and not thinking about anything else except the music and your body. I always believe as a woman it’s powerful to be able to pull your own body weight and be able to defend yourself.”

Jen Selter, a fitness model and influencer, inspires her followers with her dedication to health and wellness. Known for her creative workouts and stylish activewear, she shares tips and motivation to help others achieve their fitness goals. Last month, Selter visited Anguilla, posting a video on Instagram of herself running in a vibrant blue workout set, captioned, “With temps feeling over 90 degrees here in Anguilla, it doesn’t take long to work up a sweat.. just step outside and boom, instant drip. 💦 Loving this new blue @aloyoga set. Any shade of blue is my fav!!💙”

1. She Runs

In her Instagram video, Selter is seen running up the stairs. According to FloTrack, running has a lot of health benefits. “Running and jogging is an aerobic exercise, and you’re working out both your heart and lungs while doing so. This will also lead to a lower resting heart rate, lower bad cholesterol in your blood and lower blood pressure. You don’t need to run an obscene amount of miles every day to get these benefits, either. Those who just run a couple of minutes a day decrease their risk of cardiovascular death by 58 percent. If you have a hard time running, you can still give your heart a workout by jogging or walking.”

2. She Does What Makes Her Happy

Selter is all about making herself happy, and she wants others to do the same. She talked about this in the caption of her Instagram video. “Remember, every day is a new opportunity, a fresh start to be the best version of yourself. It’s never too late to make a change and go after what makes you happy!! Let’s get it 💪🏼”

3. She Uses Ankle Weights

Selter likes to use ankle weights she works out. She shared this video on Instagram of herself doing a core workout with them on. Selter captioned the post, “#MondayMotivation 💪🏼 Matching @FashionNova set 💙Keeping it simple but making it burn with deep core moves using just ankle weights. Slow, focused, and feel the burn💪 Add these moves into your routine and sculpt that body fam.”

4. She Does Core Exercises

In the previous Instagram post, Selter is seen doing core workouts. The Mayo Clinic states that doing core exercises is very important. “Strong core muscles make it easier to do many activities. When your core muscles are strong, it's easier to swing a golf club, get a glass from the top shelf and bend down to tie your shoes. Strong core muscles help athletes, such as runners. That's because weak core muscles can lead to more fatigue, less endurance and injuries.”

5. She Swims

Selter likes to swim to keep herself in shape. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself at the pool or at the beach. Selter shared this video of herself underwater. She captioned it, “You’re the most important project you’ll ever work on. So hit reset, refocus, and keep going - no matter how many times it takes. Progress is progress 💪🏼 take me back to @calabashjumbybay ( it’s now for sale 👀)”

4. She Speaks Out

Smalls is an activist. She tells WSJ that she wants to see a lot of change in the fashion industry, especially when it comes to diversity. “I’ve seen brands use more people of color in their campaigns and advertising editorials, which I think is good. But at the same time, is this going to continue, or is it just a trend? I believe when it comes to fashion there should be a responsibility of equality for all, not just the Black community. I remember at one point, the new thing was Asia and China. All the runways, all the magazine covers, all the editorials, you see a high influx of Asian models and barely any Blacks or Latinas. It comes in waves. Now they’re focused on the matter of Black lives, you see more interest in that, and now they fall back on the Asian models. There should just be equality throughout, consistently, with every race.”

5. She Believes In Moderation

Smalls tells Vogue that she doesn’t like to restrict herself too much when it comes to her diet. “That’s why I work out more because I know it’s hard to eat cheese and pizza and pasta and I cannot say no so I prefer to work out an extra 20 minutes at the gym. What I’ve learned is smaller portions, so not overindulge in something that I love.”
