1. She Plays Tennis

Serna enjoys regular tennis matches, which experts say is an excellent workout. “Is it any wonder that scientists and physicians around the world view tennis as the most healthful activity in which you can participate?” says Jack L. Groppel, PhD. “There may be other sports that can provide excellent health benefits and some which can provide mental and emotional growth. But no sport other than tennis has ever been acclaimed from all disciplines as one that develops great benefits physically, mentally and emotionally.”

2. Swimming With the Family

Serna loves swimming, especially with her daughter. "Because the activity is less weight-bearing, certain groups of people can take advantage of it if they want to be active,” says Brian Wright, associate professor of kinesiology at DePauw University. “One can also continue to do it late into one's age, as opposed to weight-bearing activities like running.”

3. Building Strength

Serna says building strength makes her feel powerful and full of energy. “Feeling strong, that's the question,” she captioned a post. “When exercising I am not motivated by the fact that I have more or less volume, when I get on the move, what really drives me is the feeling of vitality, that's what I like, and you? 👊🏼.”

4. Music During Workouts

Serna loves listening to music to help boost her workouts. “Music… seems to reduce people’s feeling of how much they are exerting themselves,” says Art Markman PhD. “That is, at the same level of intensity of activity, listening to music can make you feel like you are exerting less effort than you would feel without music. Some studies have also shown that when athletes are free to set their own exertion level, they are willing to exercise more intensely with music than without.”

5. Fruit and Oatmeal

Serna’s go-to breakfast is fresh fruit and oatmeal. “There are always ways to make things unhealthy, and that’s what we see with a lot of instant oatmeal,” says Beth Czerwony, RD. “Food manufacturers will add sugar — a LOT of sugar — to make them taste better. Check the nutritional label and look for added sugars. If you see them, look for another option.”

Granted, some are merely by association and can be achieved by other means, perhaps while indoors, but often only with a good deal more trouble and expense," says Harvard Health.

5. She’s Positive

Godoy is all about positivity. She talked about it in the caption of this Instagram post. “WELCOME SPRING. May this change of season bring us pure beautiful things!! Positive mind put wendy no more! Spring hugs darlings.” "There is power in positive thinking. Positive emotions are linked with better health, longer life, and greater well-being. On the other hand, chronic anger, worry, and hostility increase the risk of developing heart disease," says Harvard Health. "Try savoring pleasure: placing your attention on pleasure as it occurs and consciously enjoying the experience as it unfolds."

It’s also about having a healthy mindset and approach to ourselves.”

However, she said on Hoy that she ignores critics and focuses on the positive side of things. “You have to understand that it's not personal, that's what my career is about sometimes.

On her 25th birthday, Castro went to Disney. “Cheers to 25,” she wrote. (This is roughly translated.) “They have been an adventure and I cannot be more grateful to life for so many beautiful things, so many friends that fill my soul, for the beautiful family I have. For all the good, bad, regular experiences that have made me the person I am today. For the love of my life @pbernotk ❤️ THANK YOU LIFE FOR SO MUCH! Happy, grateful and blessed❤️ THANKS to each of you who have congratulated me by writing here, calls or messages, each of you has a very important place in my life and of course in these 25 years🎂 Ready for 75 more years amen.”

4. She Has Gone Skiing

Dr. Jonathan Finnoff, a physical medicine and rehabilitation specialist at the Mayo Clinic Sports Medicine Center says, according to the Mayo Clinic, “to prevent some downhill ski injuries, you should identify any deficits you have in strength, flexibility or balance. Physical conditioning starts with endurance exercises, particularly aerobic, which prevents fatigue. Strength training in your leg muscles helps you maintain control and absorb shock. And balance exercises coordinate your muscles to protect your joints.”

5. Her Partner is Into Fitness, Also

Castro is partners with Pablo Bernot, who is reported to be director of new projects at the Las Mañanitas hotel and restaurant business. He’s also an athlete who competed in a triathalon recently. “I'm not going to deny you I was very nervous, never doubting you,” wrote Castro about him. (This is a rough translation.) “On the contrary I knew how well you were going to do but that sea is quite complicated. When you came out of the water my soul came back (literally) I saw you so confident and so smiling that I could only shout your name and everyone would hear the baton you brought, then you grabbed the bike and left faster than I even thought I had time to take a picture of you. When I saw that you were already in the transition for the last stage (running) I began to feel that my heart was jumping out of seeing how incredible you were doing ❤️ But when I saw you cross the finish line my eyes filled with tears and I couldn't feel more than a lot of pride, respect and admiration for you love, for your discipline, your determination, your desire and above all your COURAGE, This you did requires a lot of courage and preparation. I love you and I'm so proud of you❤️ Congratulations my champion You Escaped From Alcatraz❤️”
