Joey King is honeymooning in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the Kissing Booth star shows off her amazing body in a bathing suit while vacationing in Europe with her new husband. “Moments from my honeymoon,” she captioned the Instagram video. “Stunning and breathtaking,” commented one of her followers. “This is beyond beautiful!!!!” another chimed in. How does the 24-year-old stay in shape? Celebwell rounded up her top health habits.
“As far as diet and exercise go, I try to eat as healthfully as possible, but I don’t make myself crazy,” the actress said in an interview with The New Potato. “If I’m craving a piece of bread or a bowl of pasta, sometimes I just need to listen to my body and indulge. You definitely have to find a balance, though, because eating the right things has incredible health and healing benefits.” She fills her diet with fruits, veggies, and protein, “but nobody is perfect,” so sometimes she cheats.
Joey works out almost every day. “It’s not about how you look – it’s about taking care of your body so you can be the best you,” she told The New Potato. “I also try to exercise 4-5 times a week, but that’s if I’m feeling really motivated. I absolutely love exercise because I feel energetic and happy when I work out on a regular basis, but sometimes ‘vegging out’ is so necessary.”
In addition to exercising at the gym, Joey runs and boxes, which she loves because “it feels so amazing because I’m so focused,” she told The New Potato. “This kind of boxing has many health benefits, because it constantly requires you to think, change your position, and change your posture,” physical therapist Linda Arslanian, director of rehabilitation services at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women’s Hospital tells Harvard Health.”You’re swinging your arms, moving the muscles of your arms and shoulders, increasing your upper-body strength. And when you’re in the boxer crouch with a wide stance, with your knees slightly bent, you’re strengthening your core muscles, back, and legs.”
Joey maintains that “above all else” there is one thing that keeps her healthy and happy. “I practice self-love,” she revealed. “Your inner beauty shines when you are emotionally and physically kind to yourself.”
“This sounds odd, but I didn’t know I was the type of person that needs exercise to not feel wound up,” she explained. “If I’m feeling pent up and I don’t know why, if I just move my body, then all of a sudden I’m so much more relaxed,” she told Byrdie.
Joey loves hiking. “I wish I could beautifully describe how happy I feel in these photos. But I’m no poet, I’m just happy,” she captioned a recent series of snaps. “Hiking is one of the best ways to get exercise. No matter what type of trail you find yourself on, hiking is a great whole-body workout—from head to toe and everything in between,” says the National Parks Service. Some of the physical benefits include building stronger muscles and bones, improving your sense of balance, improving your heart health, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory illnesses.
