Spears once shared a post about declaring your intentions, and focusing on your goals. She captioned the post, “My word of the week is intention … it has a lot of different meanings … what do you intend to do today ??? What is your intention by doing so … and also it’s known to heal … with that said my intention by what I’m reading now by even sending this message about this beautiful word is one thing and one thing only … to help spread the word !!!! My intention is to merely exist in hopes that others see me write … dance … cry … laugh … sing … or just speak !!!!"

Spears posted this post about the importance of going outside and enjoying nature. The post encourages people to sit in nature as you can tap into it and open yourself up to it. Working out on the beach is a great idea. One study found that "short-term plyometric training on sand/non-rigid surface induces similar improvements in strength, endurance, balance and agility as on firm surface but induces significantly less muscle soreness. Hence, plyometric training on sand is viable option for coaches to enhance performance in athletes, while reducing risk of muscle soreness and damage."
3. Building Friendships

"This man has been with me through it all !!!! I don’t know what I would do without him so I think I will keep him around a bit longer …. I mean he is pretty hot 🥵 !!!!! I love you @samasghari 👠👠👠👠👠💕💕💕💕 !!!!," she once captioned a video of Sam. “I was excited that I [would] get to meet one of the biggest artists of all time,” the personal trainer told Men's Health in July 2018. “I had butterflies.”
