Ayala captioned the post, “Never give up 💪🚀 @buckedup ucked Up Backpack - 25L This backpack is perfect for everything from daily commutes to weekend adventures. 🙌🏼” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Yarishna Ayala stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.
1. She Swims
Ayala likes to swim to stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself in the water, captioning it, “My place.” Better Health states that swimming has a lot of benefits. “Swimming is a great workout because you need to move your whole body against the resistance of the water. Swimming is a good all-round activity because it: keeps your heart rate up but takes some of the impact stress off your body, builds endurance, muscle strength and cardiovascular fitness.”
2. She Does Squats
Ayala likes to do squats to stay in shape. She is seen doing them in the previous Instagram post. Piedmont states that squats have a lot of benefits. “Squats are a compound, multi-joint movement, which means they exercise several muscle groups. When you perform a squat, you work your calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, core and part of your back…Squats also improve blood circulation and boost the mind-body connection.”
3. She Lifts Weights
Ayala is seen using weights to do her exercises in the previous post. ACE Fitness states that using weights have a lot of benefits. “Using heavy weights increases intramuscular coordination, the number of type II motor units and the amount of muscle fibers engaged within a specific muscle. Have you ever felt your muscles shaking while lifting heavy weights? This is because you are recruiting and activating the larger type II muscle fibers, which are only stimulated to work when a muscle is challenged with heavy resistance or working to fatigue.”
4. She Works Her Abs
Ayala shared some of her favorite ab workouts in this Instagram post. In it, she is seen doing single leg drops, double leg drops, scissor kicks, bicycle crunches, and side to side crunches. Having a strong core has a lot of benefits. The Mayo Clinic says, “Strong core muscles make it easier to do many activities. When your core muscles are strong, it's easier to swing a golf club, get a glass from the top shelf and bend down to tie your shoes. Strong core muscles help athletes, such as runners. That's because weak core muscles can lead to more fatigue, less endurance and injuries.”
5. She’s Consistent
One of Ayala’s biggest fitness secrets is staying consistent, no matter how busy she gets. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Glute workout 🤝🏼 a machine 📣 this one’s for my busy queens! When time is limited ⏰ I like to keep my workouts with as few machines as possible and not waste time running around the gym. The Smith machine will always be one of my faves🫶🏼 so many variations, these are some of my faves for the glutes.”
