Anais likes to workout her entire body. One thing she likes to do are planks. In her YouTube video, she is seen holding a plank for 30 seconds. “Make sure your back is flat,” she advised her viewers. Planks help improve core and arm strength as well as alignment. "The plank is one of those exercises that do not go out of style and this has a good reason: when it comes to rating workouts, no exercise is better than the plank in terms of time and effectiveness," says certified personal trainer and group fitness instructor Emperatriz Chacon. "It is an exercise in which body weight is used and the core and abdominal muscles are worked, among other parts of the body. What does that mean? That with this single exercise you can work multiple muscle groups. In addition, it is much easier on the back and can help prevent injuries, it increases muscle definition, improves posture and improves balance—this movement challenges the whole body and burns more calories than a traditional exercise routine."

5. She Does Side Leg Lifts

One exercise Anais likes to do are leg lifts. And she likes to do different variations of them. In her YouTube video, Anais is seen lying on her side doing leg lifts. “Usually I do this with a resistance band,” she says. “But I can still feel it without it.”
