Marta Aguiar, a renowned bodybuilder, aims to motivate and inspire her followers through her fitness journey. "Applause for those people who write and sing these lyrics," she said on Instagram, emphasizing her passion for self-expression and motivation. Marta's dedication to staying in great shape goes beyond just physical fitness; she incorporates a holistic approach to health. From spending time in nature to practicing gratitude, Marta maintains a balanced lifestyle that keeps her mentally and physically strong. Here's a closer look at some of the habits she follows to stay in top condition, both inside and out.
She spends time outside
Even when it's cold and snowy, she gets outside for some activity and fresh air. "A little bit of a WONDERFUL day #Snowland #Gramado @snowlandgramado," she said on Instagram (translated to english). According to mind.org, "spending time in green space or bringing nature into your everyday life can benefit both your mental and physical wellbeing. For example, doing things like growing food or flowers, exercising outdoors or being around animals can have lots of positive effects."
She stays grateful
Gratitude is important, and she remains thankful! "Thank you for so much joy! Fulfilling dreams, if you can do it! Your mind is the limit," she said on Instagram (translated to english). According to UCLAhealth.org, "research(Link is external) (Link opens in new window) shows that practicing gratitude — 15 minutes a day, five days a week — for at least six weeks can enhance mental wellness and possibly promote a lasting change in perspective. Gratitude and its mental health benefits can also positively affect your physical health."
She dances
In this video of her having fun dancing, she shows how it keeps her fit and confident. "Letting go!!! No matter how or where, do what you like! #BeYourself," she said on Instagram (translated to english). According to the CDC, "heart disease and stroke are two leading causes of death in the United States. Getting at least 150 minutes a week of moderate physical activity can put you at a lower risk for these diseases. You can reduce your risk even further with more physical activity. Regular physical activity can also lower blood pressure and improve your cholesterol levels."
She focuses on growth
She focuses on growth and stays focused. "Everything happens for a reason" and so, with that phrase, we accept things that we don't like or that hurt us. Not me, I'm not going to accept unfair things and expect "something better." I'm not going to accept that you have to hurt someone to teach them something. #PuttingYourselfInTheOther'sPlace is what a lot of people lack," she said on Instagram (translated to english).
She strength trains
She prioritizes strength training. "It's today!!! Today the Expo begins @mercadofitnessoficial And tomorrow the Miss and Mister StrongFest competition. We look forward to seeing you," she said on Instagram (translated to english). Strength training can have so many positive impacts on your body. According to the Mayo Clinic, "strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age."
