1. She Doesn’t Take Herself Too Seriously

King opened up about her career to Byrdie. She says that she doesn’t like to take herself too seriously. “It’s the greatest gift I give myself, just being an idiot. I think not being able to make fun of yourself comes from comparing yourself to other people too much. It’s hard not to. I’m human. I do it, too. Whether you’re in the public eye or not, there’s so much we have to let go.”

2. She Works Out Regularly

King opened up about her fitness journey to Byrdie. She says that she needs to exercise on a regular basis for her overall wellbeing. “This sounds odd, but I didn’t know that I was the type of person that needs exercise to not feel wound up. If I’m feeling pent up and I don’t know why, if I just move my body, then all of a sudden I’m so much more relaxed.”

3. She Doesn’t Set Goals

Goals can be a good thing to set, as they can keep you motivated. However, King doesn’t believe in doing so, and has some good reasons. “I don’t really make those,” she tells Byrdie. “Because you’ll never be happy. Either you’ll reach that goal and then just be thinking about the next one, or you won’t reach that goal, and then you’ll be miserable forever.”

4. She Stays Grounded

King makes sure to stay grounded throughout her life. She opened up about the importance of this to Byrdie. "Whatever I’m doing, whether it be something exciting or mundane, I just try to ground myself in the here and now, as generic as that sounds. To put down this little rectangle box in my hand.”

5. She Weight Trains

One thing King likes to do to stay in shape is weight train. She shared this video of herself lifting a curved dumbbell at the gym on Instagram. She captioned it, “Personal record, 140 lbs.” Weight training has a lot of benefits. The Mayo Clinic reports, “Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls.”

Joey is setting up a thirst trap (and a joke) in her swimsuit.

Joey maintains a healthy diet, but doesn’t deprive herself. “As far as diet and exercise go, I try to eat as healthfully as possible, but I don’t make myself crazy,” the actress said in an interview with The New Potato. “If I’m craving a piece of bread or a bowl of pasta, sometimes I just need to listen to my body and indulge. You definitely have to find a balance, though, because eating the right things has incredible health and healing benefits.” She tries to fill her diet with fruits, veggies, and protein, “but nobody is perfect.”

2. She Works Out Almost Daily

Joey makes exercise a regular part of her life.. “It’s not about how you look – it’s about taking care of your body so you can be the best you,” she told The New Potato. “I also try to exercise 4-5 times a week, but that’s if I’m feeling really motivated. I absolutely love exercise because I feel energetic and happy when I work out on a regular basis, but sometimes ‘vegging out’ is so necessary.”

3. She Runs and Boxes

In addition to exercising at the gym, Joey runs and boxes. “I’m also big on boxing; it feels so amazing because I’m so focused,” she told The New Potato. "This kind of boxing has many health benefits, because it constantly requires you to think, change your position, and change your posture," physical therapist Linda Arslanian, director of rehabilitation services at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's Hospital tells Harvard Health."You're swinging your arms, moving the muscles of your arms and shoulders, increasing your upper-body strength. And when you're in the boxer crouch with a wide stance, with your knees slightly bent, you're strengthening your core muscles, back, and legs.”

4. She Loves Herself

According to Joey, “above all else” there is one thing that keeps her healthy and happy. “I practice self-love,” she revealed. “Your inner beauty shines when you are emotionally and physically kind to yourself.”

5. Work Out to Destress

Joey works out for mental health benefits. "This sounds odd, but I didn't know I was the type of person that needs exercise to not feel wound up," she explained. "If I’m feeling pent up and I don't know why, if I just move my body, then all of a sudden I’m so much more relaxed,” she told Byrdie.

6. Take a Hike

Joey also enjoys hiking. “I wish I could beautifully describe how happy I feel in these photos. But I’m no poet, I’m just happy,” she captioned a recent series of snaps. “Hiking is one of the best ways to get exercise. No matter what type of trail you find yourself on, hiking is a great whole-body workout—from head to toe and everything in between,” says the National Parks Service. Some of the physical benefits include building stronger muscles and bones, improving your sense of balance, improving your heart health, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems. It also offers many mental health benefits, according to a Stanford University study.

I even got a tree as a gift and planted it there, to record this special day!” A study from the Cleveland Clinic states that spending time in nature has a lot of benefits. “The intent is to put people in touch with present-moment experience in a very deep way,” says clinical psychologist Scott Bea, PsyD. “The sights, sounds and smells of the forest take us right into that moment, so our brains stop anticipating, recalling, ruminating and worrying.”

1. She Doesn’t Let Criticism Bother Her

Keating has had a lot of criticism on social media. However, she tells Gossie that she doesn’t let it bother her. “I’ve had a very good experience with social media over the years, but you’ll get the odd mean message every now and then. I’ve grown up with thick skin, and growing up in the spotlight has probably given me that thick skin. You’ve just got to remind yourself who these kind of people are that are commenting.”

2. She’s True To Herself

Keating tells Gossie that she is true to herself, especially when it comes to her career. “I just take everything in my stride. Everything I do, I do it my way. When I was growing up, my mom and dad always told me: ‘Whatever you do, do it to the fullest. Do it the way you want to do it. Give it your all, and have no regrets.’ And that is something that has stayed with me for life. If I’m on a shoot or on a job, I remind myself that I’m here to show who I am and to make my mark on the world. I don’t know how I have the confidence to do that, but I somehow do. I’m just trying to do things my way. I want to make my own name. I enjoy everything I do and I’m so thankful for the work and opportunities I get.”

3. She Dances

Keating was a contestant on Dancing with the Stars. She opened up about her experience on the show to Gossie. “It was amazing, I had the best time! It was one of the most exciting, enjoyable things I’ve ever done. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity. I love dancing, I’ve loved it since I was a kid, and I got to learn styles that I never even knew existed. It was so cool, interesting and fun. I also loved the glitz and the glam!”

4. She Works Hard

Keating tells VIP Magazine that she works hard, and that this helped her on Dancing with the Stars. “I’m a very competitive person, just with myself. I get really annoyed in rehearsals if I can’t get it right. And I will just work and work and work until I can get it perfect. I want to listen and take it in and do that and be the best version of myself I can be. It’s going to be fun and I know it’ll be a great way to start the year.”

5. "Time to Tackle the Taboo"

Keating makes sure to support causes that are important to her. She recently took part in Pretty Little Thing’s collaboration with Girl vs Cancer. She modeled a piece from the collection in this Instagram post. Keating captioned the post, “Time to tackle the taboo. Despite thousands of women going through surgical treatment for breast cancer each year, women are still left with unflattering options when it comes to post surgery underwear.”
