Salma Hayek Shows Off Ageless Figure and Flowing Hair in New Post

Salma Hayek is not only recognized for the incredible work that she does, but her dedication to her fit and healthy physique and health that many of her fans look up to. “Bad hair day or free hair day? 💨🌊 Día de cabello rebelde o cabello libre? 💨🌊 #badhairday #freehair,” she said on Instagram, her hair blowing in the wind while on a boat. Spending time outside and on the water is something you can clearly tell is important to Hayek, but what else does she do to stay mentally and physically healthy? Here’s what we could find!

1. She doesn’t always have time for the gym, but she finds her ways

She said to People that her busy schedule doesn’t always allow time for the gym. “I don’t have time to exercise, I am working,” she said. “I’ve had some 20-hour days.” She goes on to say that she learned a thing or two in London. “I work with a woman in London who taught me how to hold my body in a way where the muscles are activated all day long. So even when you brush your teeth, you’re working the muscles.”

2. She practices restorative yoga

She practices a particular kind of yoga that is meant to be ongoing. “It’s restorative yoga,” Hayek says about what she learned from the woman in London. “She taught me to tone my muscles without clenching them. You relax them and focus on the parts that need to be used, but never with tension. If you’re aware of your body, you’d be surprised by the effect it can have.”

3. She loves the water

As seen in her Instagram video of her playing in the waves captioned, “Happy World Oceans Day! 🌊💙 ¡Feliz Día Mundial de los Océanos,” swimming is an impactful workout. Similar to her playing in the waves, she enjoys diving and keeping the ocean clean, as seen in this video on Instagram captioned, “tomorrow is World Oceans Day, lets be inspired to protect our oceans, at least from the trash. 🌊 🗑️ #worldoceansday Mañana es el Día Mundial de los Océanos, inspirémonos para proteger nuestros océanos, al menos de la basura. 🌊 🗑️.”

4. She loves to dance

As seen on Instagram, captioned “FridayMood 👯‍♀️👯‍♀️” she enjoys busting a move to keep her body in motion and spirits lifted. According to Better Health, “dancing can be a way to stay fit for people of all ages, shapes and sizes. It has a wide range of physical and mental benefits including improved condition of your heart and lungs, increased muscular strength, endurance and motor fitness, weight management, improved balance and spatial awareness, improved mental functioning,” and more.

5. She indulges in good food

On Instagram, she posted “I found a chef from the town next to mine in La Paz, Baja California. Lucky me🍀 Viva Veracruz! Encontré a un chef de Minatitlán, que esta a 30 minutos de Coatzacoalcos, La Paz, Baja California. Que suertuda 🍀#soloveracruzesbello arriba los jarochos!!!!!” She posts while out enjoying delicious dishes, like this other post captioned, “#tacotuesday.” According to the Cleveland Clinic, “the most common reason people support cheat days is psychological. Some find that the prospect of indulging helps them stay disciplined the rest of the time — and there’s some research to suggest that “planned hedonic deviations” really can help us stay on track.”
