Olivia Flowers is celebrating a friend’s birthday – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the Southern Charm beauty wishes her pal and costar, Venita Aspen, well wishes on her special day. “HBD to the best dressed @VENITAASPEN. Hoping our many clumsy moments make it to the screen this season. Grateful for you,” she captioned the Instagram Story. How does the reality star keep herself in amazing shape? Celebwell rounded up her top lifestyle habits.

1. Tennis

Olivia loves playing tennis. Here she is on the court with Shep. According to ACE Fitness it blends together 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," they say.

2. Wine

Olivia is a wine drinker. She recently took a trip to wine country where she enjoyed the sips and sights. “You had me at merlot… and Napa. Definitely had me at Napa. Beautiful time, wine, food & company,” she captioned his photo. While excess drinking is never a good thing, the occasional glass of wine boasts cardiovascular benefits. “Red wine, in moderation, has long been thought of as heart healthy,” says the Mayo Clinic. “The alcohol and certain substances in red wine called antioxidants may help prevent coronary artery disease, the condition that leads to heart attacks.”

3. Hiking

Olivia loves hiking. “Hiking is one of the best ways to get exercise. No matter what type of trail you find yourself on, hiking is a great whole-body workout—from head to toe and everything in between,” says the National Parks Service. Some of the physical benefits include building stronger muscles and bones, improving your sense of balance, improving your heart health, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems. It also offers many mental health benefits, according to a Stanford University study.

4. Skateboarding

Olivia is also into kateboarding. You can often find her rolling around on her skateboard on social media. “Who you calling squid?” she captioned this snap.

5. Golf
