Michelle Saniei is taking a hike in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the star of The Valley shows off her taut tummy in a belly baring exercise outfit while getting some exercise at Runyon Canyon in Los Angeles. “Holding onto the good times,” she captioned the Instagram snap. “Beauty,” one of her followers commented. “Ur body is teađ„,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
Michelle makes sure to get her steps in. “I’m a walker. I know people laugh, but I love to walk. I literally walk every single day of my life. Whether it’s 30 minutes an hour, I try to get at least 10,000 steps in in the morning,” she said on the When Reality Hits podcast. A 2018 study published in the journal Obesity found a link between walking 10,000 steps a day and weight loss and weight management. Other studies published by the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) in JAMA Neurology and in JAMA Internal Medicine also linked walking 10,000 steps a day to less dementia and less cardiovascular disease overall, with less heart disease, less heart failure and fewer strokes.
Michelle enjoys ice skating. “Winter in LA,” she captioned a photo of herself on the ice. According to Harvard Medical School, ice skating will burn up to 200 calories per hour. It is also great for joint and muscle health and helps improve balance and coordination.
Michelle strength trains. “I do have a gym membership. I’m not that good, but I just think consistency of always moving your body is number one,” she said during the podcast. “The first day back is always the hardest!” she captioned a post of herself lifting weights. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn 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
The reality star doesn’t diet, but maintains a healthy lifestyle. “I don’t consider myself like ever having a diet because I eat whatever I want,” Michelle revealed on the podcast. She says it’s more about having good habits.
Michelle takes a hike in her recent post. “I live by a hiking trail, so I hike a couple of times a week,” she said during the podcast. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:
- Building stronger muscles and bones
- Improving your sense of balance
- Improving your heart health
- Decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems
