She Runs On The Treadmill

Martínez makes sure to go to the gym. One thing she does when she's there is run on the treadmill. Martínez posted this photo on Instagram of herself on a treadmill at the gym. She captioned the post, "What I played. Don't look because you find." Running is a great cardio and aerobic exercise. Hopkins Medicine reports, "When you start out on your run, your body goes through a transition: Your breathing may become heavy, and you might notice your pulse quicken as the heart pumps harder to move oxygenated blood to your muscles and brain.

As you hit your stride, your body releases hormones called endorphins. Popular culture identifies these as the chemicals behind "runner's high," a short-lasting, deeply euphoric state following intense exercise. Surveys have revealed runner's high to be rather rare, however, with a majority of athletes never experiencing it."

She captioned the post, "He knows I LOVE him and he takes advantage. 1 of 3." Harvard Health states, "There are also many psychological benefits to having a pooch around. Dog owners are less prone to bouts of loneliness, anxiety, and depression. Simply petting your dog can make you feel less stressed. One of the greatest benefits of owning a dog is that it encourages you to practice mindfulness — being in the present moment and fully appreciating life. Mindfulness can help you relieve stress and also improves your overall health."
