Kristine Froseth is taking a hike – in her workout clothes. In a new social media post, The Buccaneers star takes in the scenery during an intense trek, sharing the photos via social media. “VIEWS,” she captioned one of the Instagram posts. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here are her diet and fitness tips for staying in shape.
Kristine is a huge fan of Pilates, which helped her shape up for Birds of Paradise. “For three months beforehand, they set an intense schedule from morning to night where we would do Pilates, the Gyrotonic method, and some stretch classes,” she told Vogue. Why is pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic there are lots of benefits to the workout, as it “strengthens the body’s inner core while increasing its flexibility resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, relief from stress and back pain, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.
Kristine is an open book when it comes to mental health. “If anyone’s struggling with loss or depression, it’s so important to rely on one another and talk about it and ask for support. Amongst us females, I feel like we can support each other within the larger competition because there’s space for everyone. Within my own industry, I have a lot of good friends who go up for the same roles I do, but we know it’s apples and oranges, right? We can compete, but it doesn’t have to be sabotage,” she told Vogue.
She also took dance classes to shape up for Birds of Paradise. “We would observe dance classes and take private beginners’ classes—which aren’t really for beginners, in my opinion!—at these different studios in the city, so I just tried to literally pack as much in as I could. I was really out of touch with my body and so out of alignment and had no idea what these different muscle groups were or what any of this was about, and I had no dance experience prior, so it was really intense, but I’ve learned so much about myself and my body. Overall, it was great,” she told Vogue. She added to Newsweek that she had to work on her alignment and coordination. “I have none,” she told Newsweek. “I’ve never danced before so it was definitely challenging to get to know my body while also absorbing all the information regarding dance. I don’t know anything, it’s so much about opposition and I was having a hard time putting two-and-two together.”
Kristine runs for her body and also her mind, calling it a stress reliever. She recently completed the New York City Marathon. “It’s always been a dream of mine to do a marathon and then an Iron Woman,” she told Elle. “I want to push myself in different ways and see how far I can take it.” 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.

Kristine loves to snorkel, which is surprisingly a great workout. In addition to being a great aerobic exercise and burning calories, other health benefits may include improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.
Kristine goes on hikes regularly. 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, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems.
