Coffee Lover
Malik is a self-confessed coffee lover. Research shows that coffeeāin the right amountācan offer many health benefits. "Although ingestion of caffeine can increase blood sugar in the short-term, long-term studies have shown that habitual coffee drinkers have a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared with non-drinkers," says Harvard Health.
Treadmill Sessions
Malik loves treadmill sessions at the gym. "Any type of aerobic exercise has a positive effect on the heart," says Dr. Dan Meyer, chief of cardiac transplantation at Baylor Scott & White Health in Dallas. "Running is such an efficient mode of exercise. It can be relaxing and a stress reliever at times. I find it having as much emotional benefits as physical."
Snorkeling
Malik tried snorkeling for the first time last year in the Maldives and fell in love. "Tried Snorkeling for the first time in life," she said. "Thanks @tajmaldives for the great experience and special thanks goes to the general manager of #tajmaldives @sam.datta1306 for the recommendation and making it possible ššš."
Stationary Bike
Malik uses the stationary bike when she's at the gym. "Riding a stationary exercise bike is an efficient and effective way to burn calories and body fat while strengthening your heart, lungs, and muscles," says Penn State Pro Wellness. Compared to some other types of cardio equipment, a stationary bicycle puts less stress on your joints, but it still provides an excellent aerobic workout."
Kettlebell Workouts
Malik uses kettlebells during exercise moves such as lunges and squats. "Someone who's five feet tall and 90 pounds will typically use a lighter kettlebell than someone who's six feet tall and 200 pounds," says Nancy Capparelli, a senior physical therapist at Harvard-affiliated Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center. "You need to know exactly what to do with the kettlebell and which exercises are appropriate. Otherwise you'll increase your risk for injury, even with a lighter kettlebell."
