Miss Universe Great Britain 2024, Christina Dela Cruz Chalk from the Philippines is a health and wellness inspiration to her fans and following. “A wholesome day exploring The Whangie in the Kilpatrick Hills with family, old friends and even new friends along the way! Of course we had some tasty treats at @thebutandben to finish it off ✨⛰️❤️ #walkwithchalk #desTINAY #explorescotland #hikingscotland #missuniversegreatbritain ,” she said. She approaches staying active with positivity and gratitude, one of the many ways she manages her health.
1. She enjoys hiking
Hiking is such an incredible way to get outside and enjoy the weather while getting a workout in. According to the Cleveland Clinic, “as with all exercise, hiking comes with heart health benefits. Studies have shown that exercise can reduce your risk of heart disease. By working out, your circulation improves and your heart becomes stronger.”
2. She’s confident
Confidence can truly be a huge factor when it comes to dedication to fitness, health, and your overall well-being. “I am feeling overwhelmed by the support I have had from the swimsuit challenge at @aquaboracay ! Thank you for choosing me as one of your 20 Goddesses of Arete Tagayta,” she said on Instagram.
3. She dances
Working out doesn't always have to feel like a chore, sometimes getting activity in can be as simple as just dancing around the house. “Main Character Energy ✨I may not be a pro, but you can’t say I didn’t try 😆 Thank you @_ianleyva at @full_____out for another epic class 🙏🏽 I will definitely have whiplash tomorrow but it was worth it 💃🏻Thank you @shashashairralyn for the video and moral support 🥰 #desTINAY #Muph #beginner #thisis30 ,” she said.
4. She dabbles in surfing
If you really want to get in an incredible full body workout, give surfing a try if you live in an area where you can test it out, or when you’re on vacation. “Couple of surf chicks 🏄🏻♀️,” she said. According to Better Health, “surfing provides many health benefits including cardiovascular fitness – from paddling, shoulder and back strength – these muscles will strengthen from the paddling, and leg and core strength – once you’re standing up on the board, strong legs and a strong core will keep you up.”
5. She loves the beach
She really enjoys time at the beach and swimming. “Kemans Ultimate Pit Solution Set keeping us fresh all day at the beach and during our @aquaboracay swimsuit challenge 🏖️,” she said. According to the Cleveland Clinic, “the built-in resistance that water provides helps build muscles and makes you stronger. And because water is more resistant than air, swimming does this faster than land workouts like running and biking.”
