As you can see from her post, Cruz is being consistent when it comes to her fitness. The Mayo Clinic states that this is one of the most important aspects of fitness. “Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if you can't find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none. To gain the benefits of exercise, just get more active throughout your day. For example, take the stairs instead of the elevator or rev up your household chores. Consistency is key.”
