Read on to see 5 ways Elizabeth Hendrickson stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Works Out With Others

As you can see from her Instagram posts, Hendrickson likes to workout with her friends. According to Iowa State University, group workouts have a lot of health benefits. “The highest quality or type of motivation is called intrinsic motivation – you’re doing something because the behavior itself is enjoyable, satisfying or both. If you enjoy exercise and not just the positive feelings you get after you’ve worked out, you are more likely to stick with it. Exercising with other people can supply that enjoyment, even if the activity itself is difficult or otherwise not something you love. Group exercise can turn working out into a fun social activity, which could lead to you continuing to do it.”

2. She Does Yoga

Hendrickson likes to practice yoga to stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself and some friends doing poses. Weill Cornell states that yoga has a lot of benefits. “Studies suggest that yoga can lower not only your blood pressure and risk of hypertension but also your cholesterol levels and resting heart rate, reducing your overall risk of heart disease. It can ease chronic back pain, depression and anxiety, and the physical and psychological stress of breast cancer treatment.”

3. She Skis

Hendrickson likes to go skiing to stay in shape. Her family went on a ski trip to Mammoth Mountain in March. Hendrickson shared highlights from the trip on Instagram. Skiing is a cardio workout, and according to UMC Rochester, that makes it a great workout. “Cardiovascular or aerobic exercises also work to reduce your risk for ongoing (chronic) diseases. They lower your blood pressure. And they help you maintain a healthy body weight. Through regular aerobic exercise like skiing and snowboarding, you lower your risk of developing conditions like diabetes and heart disease, having a stroke, and perhaps even getting cancer.”

4. She Bikes

According to this photo on her Instagram, Hendrickson likes to go biking. A Healthier Michigan states that biking can improve a person’s balance. “Everyone thinks about biking as great for your legs, and it is, but it’s also good for your balance. Cycling engages your abdominal muscles as you balance and steer, go up hills and around corners, according to information shared by the Cleveland Clinic. It can help improve not only your balance, but your coordination and your posture.”

5. She Dances

As you can see from the Instagram post, Hendrickson likes to do dance workouts. She also shared this video on her page of herself and some friends doing another dance workout. Hendrickson captioned the post, “The 3 W’s from class today. Way too much fun. Won’t be able to walk tomorrow. Wish you could have heard the playlist.”

1. She Kickboxes

While in the Maldives, Frida got an outdoor workout in, starting with kickboxing. “Dream Gym,” she captioned the post. "This kind of boxing has many health benefits, because it constantly requires you to think, change your position, and change your posture," physical therapist Linda Arslanian, director of rehabilitation services at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women's hospital tells Harvard Health."

2. She Strength Trains

In the same post, Frida also shows off some of her strength training moves, including doing weighted squats. 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

3. She Does Yoga

Frida is also a devoted yogi, even managing to get a session in when surrounded by her kids. “Love a peaceful yoga 🧘🏼‍♀️session,” she joked in this photo. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”

4. She Has a Workout Buddy

The couple that sweats together, stays together! Frida has the ultimate workout buddy – her husband. The two even spent last V-day at the gym sweating together. “Valentine’s Day @jab_box with my girl . You killed us @george__veness,” Jaime captioned the post.

5. She Runs

Frida also enjoys running, especially when it involves helping other people out. “Great morning running for such an incredibly important cause,” she captioned one of her Instagram posts. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

Jena is a fan of a popular workout method. “My favorite type of workout is F45,” she told FOX. “It’s just a 45-minute class. And I think I like it so much because they play amazing music and it’s so loud.”

2. Weight Lifting

“I’m not a calm, soothing Pilates, yoga princess. I’m like, ‘Scream at me.’ I want to be dripping sweat,” continued Sims. “I want loud music, heavy weights. For my body type, I like to lift weights because I don’t need to do a lot of cardio. I find that lifting weights has been the most beneficial,” she told Fox. “I've been working on just upping my weights a little bit,” she added to Daily Mail. “I can get into this sweet spot and get kind of in a plateau of working out, so I upped my weights after seeing her video because I was so impressed by what she did with her fitness. I'm trying to lift heavier. Trying to build a booty.”

3. Clean Eating

To get in shape for her Sports Illustrated photoshoot, Jena didn’t diet, “ all I'm doing is just eating as clean as I can, but I'm still splurging,” she told Daily Mail. “Like, I had four dinner rolls last night at this charity event as well as my meal.”

4. Pure Barre

Jena also likes to “mix it up” when it comes to exercise. She loves Pure Barre classes, a fusion of yoga, Pilates, and ballet and a “full body, low impact workout” for everybody, according to the brand.
