Massy Arias is a fitness expert and influencer. She advertised her coaching program in a recent Instagram video. In it, she is seen doing yoga poses and exercises with weights. Arias captioned the video, “You know I will take you there. This January 6th with me as your coach we begin your transformation.”
She Does Yoga
Arias is seen doing yoga poses in her Instagram video. Yoga doesn’t just have physical benefits, but mental ones. Harvard Health reports, “All exercise can boost your mood by lowering levels of stress hormones, increasing the production of feel-good chemicals known as endorphins, and bringing more oxygenated blood to your brain. But yoga may have additional benefits. It can affect mood by elevating levels of a brain chemical called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA), which is associated with better mood and decreased anxiety. Meditation also reduces activity in the limbic system — the part of the brain dedicated to emotions. As your emotional reactivity diminishes, you have a more tempered response when faced with stressful situations.”
She Lifts Weights

Arias is also seen lifting weights in her Instagram video. Lifting weights has a lot of benefits. ACE Fitness reports, “Strength training with heavy weights improves muscle definition. Muscle definition occurs as the result of muscles remaining in a state of semi-contraction and heavy strength training recruits the larger type II muscle fibers responsible for a muscle’s appearance.”
She Works Her Core
Arias does a lot of core exercises to keep herself in shape. She shared some of her favorites in this Instagram video. Arias captioned it, “In this workout we are targeting foundational core strength, muscular endurance, and core strength/activation. The workout will leave you feeling amazing, mobile, and building real strength using your body weight all at home. The workout: there are 9 movements broken down into three circuits of three movements. You will perform each movement back to back with little to no rest in between (resting as needed to recover enough to do the circuit). You will perform all sets and move to the next circuit after each is completed.”
She Jumps Rope
Arias likes to jump rope to keep herself in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself jumping rope. Arias captioned the post, “12 years ago I chose a method considered 1.5 times more effective than counseling or medications for managing depression and anxiety. Today, I still apply it every day, and better yet, I teach it. If you are watching this today, this is your sign to take power into your own hands and move for your mental health.”
She Runs On The Treadmill
Arias shared this gym video on Instagram. In it, she and a friend are seen running on the treadmills. According to Healthy Talbot, using a treadmill has a lot of benefits. “Treadmill working is an aerobic/ cardio exercise. Studies demonstrate that aerobic exercise can minimize the risk of heart diseases. Moreover, they can strengthen your heart muscles. This helps to lower blood pressure and allows the heart to pump blood more efficiently. Most doctors recommend aerobic exercise to people suffering from cardiovascular diseases. Cardiovascular exercises control cholesterol levels in the blood, preventing artery blockage. They increase high-density lipoprotein and reduce low-density lipoprotein in the blood.”
