Jaqueline Hooton is a fitness influencer. She makes sure to workout on a regular basis, even on vacation. She recently shared a HIIT workout while on her vacation. Hooton captioned the post, “I always take trainers 👟 @womensbest sportswear, a skipping rope, and a flexible attitude to exercise when I travel ✈️” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Jaqueline Hooton stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.
In her Instagram post, Hooton is seen doing an HIIT circuit. She captioned the post, “Here’s a quick and effective summer ☀️ HIIT workout which makes use of steps, a skipping rope, and bodyweight moves.” Harvard Health states that HIIT has a lot of benefits. “HIIT can help to decrease body fat, increase strength and endurance, and improve health outcomes, but it is not necessarily better than other exercise formats. Its main appeal is that it can achieve similar fitness and health benefits in a shorter duration, and that it includes periods of rest.”
Hooton is seen running in her Instagram post. This has a lot of benefits. ACE Fitness states that running has a lot of mental benefits. “Running for two weeks reduced symptoms of depression in a study published in the journal Cortex; even a 10-minute session on the treadmill was shown to improve someone’s mood, research in Nature found. When researchers compared the mental health of runners and non-runners, they found that runners had lower stress and greater psychological well-being, according to a review published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health. Just 15 minutes of running improves memory, a study in the journal Psychological Reports reported, and it can make you more cognitively flexible, meaning you can adapt and switch gears more easily, according to research in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience.“
Hooton makes sure to do leg workouts. She shared some of her favorites in this Instagram video. Hooton captioned the post, “📌 The workout: 2️⃣ Sets. 6️⃣0️⃣ seconds rest between sets. 8️⃣ – 1️⃣2️⃣ repetitions of each exercise. ⚪️ Sit to stand. ⚪️ Split squat (modify depth as needed). ⚪️ Seated leg extension. ⚪️ Seated straight leg raises. ⚪️ Single leg calf raises. ⚪️ Hip rainbows. ⚪️ Glute kickbacks. ⚪️ Elevated glute bridge.”
Hooton makes sure to stay consistent when it comes to her fitness. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to be consistent. 🙅🏻♀️Fitness is not a 12 week transformation 👧🏻👩🏻👩🏻🦳👵🏻 It’s a lifelong journey. And you’re never too old 👵🏻 and it’s never too late to start, so start now ⏰ (if you haven’t already).”
Hooton has a lot of confidence in her body. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram reel. “When you realise you don’t need a beach body, You need a body that can get you to the beach! There’s nothing like holidaying on a Greek Island 🏝️ to make you appreciate what functional fitness means! The beaches are beautiful, but most require a steep climb up down and up again to reach them. All this in 34 °C heat ☀️ several times a day, whilst I alternate between beach, swimming pool, my infinity pool room, and forays to find food. So yeah, I’m pleased my legs have the strength 💪 to navigate what feels like a million steps a day, and my lungs 🫁 and cardiovascular system 🫀can keep up!”
