Jessica More is pampering herself – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the Below Deck Mediterranean star looks abs fab in a crop top and leggings while indulging in a little self-care. “We do our own eyelash lifts now,” she captioned the Instagram Story. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
1. Jump Rope and Resistance Bands

When Jessica is “below deck” she doesn’t skip exercise. In order to get her workouts in, she brings a few pieces of portable equipment. “I bring a jump rope and resistance bands when I come to work,” she told Page Six. “Not only can the repetitive movement of skipping rope elevate your heart rate, work muscles in the arms and legs and burn calories, it may even provide a quick jolt of joy,” says Nike.
2. Strength Training

She also strength trains and does cardio. “The yachts also have weights, so I’ll try to get some form of cardio,” so that she can “try to stay in shape.” According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:
- Develop strong bones
- Manage your weight
- Enhance your quality of life
- Manage chronic conditions
- Sharpen your thinking skills
3. Golfing
Jessica is an avid golfer. “My toxic trait is going golfing when there’s 145,000,000 things I need to do 😑😬 #golf #golfgirls #toxictraits,” she captioned a recent post from the course. A comprehensive review published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that golf's health benefits are extensive, including mind, body, and even lifespan. Benefits include improved longevity, decreased risk of developing heart disease or suffering a stroke, good mental health, and improved strength and balance.
4. Yoga
Jessica is also a yogi. “Zen the f**k out 😜 In honor of life always reminding us it’s best to stay calm, grounded, centered & focused here’s me upside down attempting the physical representation 😂😉 #yoga,” she captioned a post of herself in a pose. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”
5. Walking

Jessica also tries to walk whenever she can. “I get in 10,000 to 15,000 steps in on a charter day,” she told Page Six. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.
