Boxing

Harvard Health maintains that boxing is a great way to build strength, improve balance, posture, hand-eye coordination, boost mood and endurance, and helps increase alertness.
TRX
Shantel uses the TRX Home Suspension Trainer for resistance training. "I have a traveling TRX that you can hang over your door," she says.
Running, Pilates, Hot Yoga
Shantel enjoys other forms of fitness. "I run; I do Pilates, hot yoga," she added to Women's Health. "I get up and workout four to five days a week," she added to SELF. How often should you work out? Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.
Hearty Breakfast
As for her diet, Shantel fuels up in the morning. "For me, having greek yogurt and some granola is the perfect start-up breakfast because it has many benefits. Its filling, healthy and gives me energy to start my day. I also try not to drink coffee so I found this mango ginger green tea and its my favorite–I don't travel anywhere without it!" she told SELF.
Walking Her Dog
In her recent post Shantel walks her dog. 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.
