She Does Flexibility Exercises
Khalifa posted this post on Instagram of herself doing a leg extension on a reformer. She captioned the photo, "Almost 30lbs of resistance on my megaformer springs here, so that definitely helped the stretch."
She Does Oblique Curls
Khalifa posted this video on Instagram of herself doing oblique crunches with gym equipment. Says the Mayo Clinic: "Abdominal crunches are a classic core-strength exercise:
- Lie on your back and place your feet on a wall so that your knees and hips are bent at 90-degree angles. Tighten your abdominal muscles.
- Raise your head and shoulders off the floor. To avoid straining your neck, cross your arms on your chest rather than locking them behind your head. Hold for three deep breaths.
- Return to the start position and repeat."
She Does Mountain Climbers
Khalifa is also a fan of mountain climbers. She posted this video on Instagram of herself doing a session with her trainer, which featured her doing a set of mountain climbers. According to personal trainer and Isopure athlete, Ashley Joi, mountain climbers have a lot of benefits for your body. "It's good for your lungs, heart, and so many bigger muscle groups in your body," says Joi to Shape. "It's a very beneficial exercise that people should incorporate more into home workouts
She Lifts Weights
Khalifa is a big fan of lifting weights and doing strength training. She has posted photos and videos on Instagram of herself using dumbbells and hand weights. "Weight training is a type of strength training that uses weights for resistance. Weight training provides a stress to the muscles that causes them to adapt and get stronger, similar to the way aerobic conditioning strengthens your heart," says the Mayo Clinic. "Weight training can be performed with free weights, such as barbells and dumbbells, or by using weight machines. You can also increase your strength through other types of resistance exercises, such as by using your body weight or resistance bands."
She Runs On The Treadmill
Khalifa is a fan of running on the treadmill to get her cardio workouts in. She posted this video from the gym of herself and her friends running on the treadmills. Running on a treadmill, or just running in general is a great way to exercise. Not only does running help your heart work, it can also help you sleep better. According to WebMD, running, and other aerobic exercises, "triggers a release of endorphins, chemicals that help relieve pain or stress. These activate the brain and might keep you awake."
