1. She Spends Time Outside

Gutiérrez loves to spend time outside doing different activities. She has posted several photos on Instagram of herself enjoying the sunshine and great outdoors. Gutiérrez loves to go to the beach, go on a walk, or hang out with her family. Going for walks outside benefits both your body and mind, according to UNC Healthcare. “Walking has been proven effective in reducing anxiety and depression, and there is further evidence that walking in nature improves those results even further. That’s because different parts of our brain activate in nature. Our mind calms, leading to physical changes including a reduction in heart rate and blood pressure.”

In the reel Gutiérrez posted on Instagram with her trainer, she is seen doing a lot of different exercises. According to the reel, Gutiérrez does a lot of strength training exercises and uses a lot of different weights. She is seen lifting small dumbbells, passing a larger dumbbell from hand to hand, doing lateral pulldowns, and even weightlifting. "Weight training is a type of strength training that uses weights for resistance. Weight training provides a stress to the muscles that causes them to adapt and get stronger, similar to the way aerobic conditioning strengthens your heart," says the Mayo Clinic. "Weight training can be performed with free weights, such as barbells and dumbbells, or by using weight machines. You can also increase your strength through other types of resistance exercises, such as by using your body weight or resistance bands."
