She Loves To Dive
Ziomek is an accomplished scuba diver, an activity she enjoys on vacation. "Blue space therapy is a woefully underused method of lifestyle prescription for our physical and mental health. Still, the research proves that taking a dip can boost our wellbeing ten-fold," says Dr Ruth Micallef, award-winning counselor and mental health expert. "Wild swimming has a host of research-proven benefits, including improved self-esteem, social confidence, and resilience—to name just a few."
She Skateboards
Skateboarding at the beach is one of Ziomek's favorite hobbies. "Skaters are excellent critical thinkers and problem-solvers who view success from a more communal perspective. They bring that insight into other areas of their lives, which is valuable to any university or organization," says skateboarding expert Neftalie Williams.
She Skis
Ziomek loves to spend hours out on the slopes. "Alpine skiing is a mix of endurance and resistance training," says Dr. Josef Niebauer, a professor of sports medicine and cardiology and director of the Institute for Molecular Sports and Rehabilitation Medicine at Paracelsus Medical University in Salzburg, Austria. "It has positive effects on the heart and circulation, as well as peripheral muscles—predominantly the legs."
She Lifts Weights
Ziomek frequently incorporates weight training into her workout regimen. "Strength training is the only way you're going to truly be able to sculpt the physique of your personal dreams," says Chicago-based strength coach Sue Clark. "Above and beyond the physical changes, though, a whole new persona emerges as people start to feel really confident in their own bodies."
She's A Yogi
Ziomek likes to slow down and enjoy regular yoga sessions to balance out her high-energy activities. Studies show yoga is an incredibly effective stress-buster, which can have a profound impact on health. "There's a huge body of literature that says psychosocial stressors such as work and marital stress, as well as anxiety and depression, are associated with increased risk for cardiovascular disease," said Dr. Puja Mehta, an assistant professor of medicine in the division of cardiology at Emory University School of Medicine in Atlanta. "With chronic stress, the sympathetic nervous system is in overdrive."
