Miami works on her abs—and the results speak for themselves. “Want more-defined stomach muscles? Core exercises are important,” says the Mayo Clinic. “While it takes aerobic activity to burn fat in your stomach, core exercises can strengthen and tone the underlying muscles.”
2. She’s a Dancer

Miami is a talented dancer, which offers specific health benefits. Dancing is not only good physical exercise, it benefits brain health. “In any instance you’re getting the benefit of connecting to the music, so you’re involving a part of the brain that isn’t necessarily being tapped when you’re doing something like walking that is more rote,” says former professional dancer Dr. Lauren Elson.
3. Protein Shakes

Miami enjoys protein shakes after her workouts. “It is important for individuals to consume protein every day,” says Nancy Waldeck, chef and dietitian at Thomas F. Chapman Family Cancer Wellness at Piedmont Healthcare. “Daily protein intake plays a role in keeping your cells in good shape and should be part of your daily health maintenance plan.”
4. Weight Training

Miami uses heavy weights for full-body workouts. “Lean muscle mass naturally diminishes with age,” according to the Mayo Clinic. “Your body fat percentage will increase over time if you don't do anything to replace the lean muscle you lose over time. Strength training can help you preserve and enhance your muscle mass at any age.”
5. Lunges and Squats
Miami does lunges and squats to strengthen her lower body. “Lunges are a great way to enhance strength and stability in your legs since you are forced to balance all of your body weight on one leg for a short period of time,” say the experts at Duke. “Be sure not to let your knee come over your toes while lunging and keep your torso erect while looking ahead.”
