Carmen Serano is “canyoneering” with friends – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the Breaking Bad star flaunts her amazing figure in exercise clothes, sharing “magical moments, exciting adventures, and unforgettable milestones,” with her followers. She shared the Instagram video taken in the Philippines via her Instagram account. How does the actress approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
In a recent post Carmen goes snorkeling in Coron, Palawan. Snorkeling is a great aerobic exercise, burns calories, and offers other health benefits like improved cardiovascular function, stress reduction, mood enhancement, and muscular toning.
Carmen enjoys kayaking in the ocean. “Happy place,” she captioned a set of photos of herself kayaking. Kayaking is great for building upper body strength and helps reduce stress, but can burn up to 400 calories per hour, translating to 1,600 calories in four hours of paddling.
Carmen has hiked all over the world. “One with nature,” she captioned a post. 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
Standup paddleboarding is another one of Carmen’s favorite outdoor activities. The American Council on Exercise (ACE) agrees that paddle boarding is great for the core and also a great form of cardio. The water sport can burn an average of 385 calories for a 140 pound male and 436 for a female the same size, per a study conducted by Arizona State University.
Carmen gets her steps in, a great form of fitness. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.
