Sara Orrego is indulging in self-care in her workout clothes. In a new social media post, the model shows off her amazing body post-sweat session in Alo exercise gear, sharing a message of self-love. “Love yourself first,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does the Columbian influencer approach health and wellness? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
1. Strength Training
Sara regularly shares videos of herself lifting weights, which is a great workout according to the Mayo Clinic. Strength and weight training helps reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burns calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:
- Develop strong bones
- Manage your weight
- Enhance your quality of life
- Manage chronic conditions
- Sharpen your thinking skills
2. Hydration
Sara also drinks plenty of water. Here she is hydrating after a workout. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.
3. Hiking
Sara loves spending time outdoors and hiking. Physical benefits (per the National Parks Service) include:
- Building stronger muscles and bones
- Improving your sense of balance
- Improving your heart health
- Decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems
4. Walks on the Beach
Sara spends a lot of time at the beach and enjoys taking long walks. “Sunsets,” she captioned a twilight stroll. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.
5. Tennis
Sara also enjoys tennis, a great cardio and aerobic exercise, as there is a lot of running around, and hand-eye coordination. "While tennis provides numerous health benefits—improved aerobic fitness and anaerobic endurance, muscular fitness (grip strength and endurance), flexibility, multiple skill parameters (balance, speed, agility and quickness), reactivity, and power—it also is psychologically demanding," says ACE Fitness.
