The American Heart Association states, "Research has shown that walking at a brisk pace at least 150 minutes a week can help you: Think better, feel better and sleep better. Reduce your risk of serious diseases like heart disease, stroke, diabetes and several types of cancer. Improve your blood pressure, blood sugar and blood cholesterol levels. Increase your energy and stamina. Improve your mental and emotional well-being and reduce your risk of depression. Improve memory and reduce your risk of dementia. Boost bone strength and reduce your risk of osteoporosis. Prevent weight gain."
She Rides Horses
Konow shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself riding horses, including the one featured in this article. Cornerstone Ranch states that riding is very beneficial. "Muscles are strengthened by the increased use involved in riding. Even though riding is exercise, it is perceived as enjoyment, and therefore the rider has increased tolerance and motivation to lengthen the period of exercise."
She Does Squats
Konow shares a lot of her favorite workouts on Instagram. She has an Instagram story highlight dedicated to sharing her fitness secrets. Konow enjoys doing squats to stay in shape. She shared this video of herself doing them with weights. Squats have a lot of benefits. Allina Health reports, "The squat is one of the all-around best exercises to do for your lower body. It strengthens and tones muscles in your thighs, butt and calves and improves posture, balance, flexibility and inner core strength. Squatting also improves bone mineral density to keep your bones strong."
She Strength Trains
Konow likes to strength train. In the previous Instagram story, Konow is seen using weights to keep herself in shape. The Mayo Clinic states that exercises like those are very beneficial. "Want to reduce body fat, increase lean muscle mass and burn calories more efficiently? Strength training to the rescue! Strength training is a key component of overall health and fitness for everyone."
She Does Pull-Ups
Konow shared this video in her Instagram story highlight of herself doing pull-ups. NASM states that pull-ups are very beneficial. "Biomechanically, pull ups use shoulder adduction as the elbows pull down and back from the sides during the movement, training the lats and upper back in a slightly different way than chin ups. Pull ups use the lats, rhomboids, traps, shoulders, posterior deltoids, and brachialis. Because of the overhand grip, your lats will do the majority of the work since they are getting less help from the biceps."
