Inanna Sarkis is sharing a special selfie – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the actress and model shows off her flat abs in a two-piece Alo set while sipping on her coffee. She shared the image via her Instagram Stories. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
Inanna’s long-term boyfriend, model and actor Matthew Noszka, is her workout buddy. “He definitely was super involved in getting me back into shape and I owe it to him a lot for motivating me after the pregnancy,” said the new mom, whose toned physique speaks for itself,” she told V Magazine,.
She started her post-pregnancy workout routine by walking and doing bodyweight exercises. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, especially at a brisk speed. 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.
She then progressed to weight lifting and HIIT (high-intensity interval training) with the guidance of her boyfriend. There is lots of research backing up the benefits of HIIT workouts, including body fat reduction, improved cardiovascular function, and mental health. It is also time effective.
Inanna also enjoys skiing. Here she is on a recent mountain vacation, hitting the slopes in Aspen, Colorado. Research has linked downhill skiing to a number of health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress and the occurrence of memory deficits declines.
Inanna also boxes. “…beats sulking in my emotions all day & overthinking life / @alo,” she captioned a post, adding in the video that boxing helps her anxiety. Harvard Health maintains that boxing is a great way to build strength, improve balance, posture, hand-eye coordination, boost mood and endurance, and helps increase alertness.
