1. She Hydrates
Melissa prioritizes hydration. While she usually drinks water, she fueled up on her trip with a coconut. According to the U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine men should drink about 15.5 cups (3.7 liters) of fluids a day and women about 11.5 cups (2.7 liters) of fluids.
2. She Strength Trains
Melissa is big into strength training. She does a lot of squats and body weight exercises and also uses weights, like kettlebells. Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.
3. She Works with a Personal Trainer
Melissa stays accountable by working out with a personal trainer. “Training with a #personaltrainer allows us to improve ourselves, push our limits, and be encouraged exercise after exercise,” she wrote in a post.
4. She Skis
Melissa also enjoys hitting the slopes. Research has linked downhill skiing to a number of health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress and the occurrence of memory deficits declines.
5. She Boxes
Melissa also boxes. “I've been practicing sports and fitness since I was a child, yet there are still types of workouts unknown to me,” she wrote in a post. “Mixing boxing with functional exercises, hanging in a hammock, challenging your balance by the surface of water.”
6. She Plays Tennis
Melissa also plays tennis. According to ACE Fitness it blends together cardio and aerobic exercise, as there is a lot of running around, and hand-eye coordination. "While tennis provides numerous health benefits—improved aerobic fitness and anaerobic endurance, muscular fitness (grip strength and endurance), flexibility, multiple skill parameters (balance, speed, agility and quickness), reactivity, and power—it also is psychologically demanding," they say.
7. She Exercises Outdoors
Melissa encourages outdoor exercise. “Being outdoors, exercising and doing it with a smile on your lips. This is possible when motivation and passion come together! Thanks to everyone who trained in the park with us,” she captioned a group fitness post.
