Sophie Habboo is one of the United Kingdom’s hottest influencers. She’s got a strong following on social media. She and her husband, Jamie Laing, also have a podcast, called The Newlyweds. The couple recently enjoyed a trip to Miami, and Habboo shared some highlights on Instagram. In them, she lounged by the beach in a black swimsuit and enjoyed some snacks. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Sophie Habboo stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.
Habboo shared some of her wellness secrets in an interview with Grazia. She says that she likes to unwind after a long day, and shared her favorite practices. “I love putting on a sheet mask, sinking into a warm bath and using an ice roller on my face,” she says. “I sit there watching YouTube videos for half an hour, it’s a ritual that really helps me calm down and reset.”
Habboo shared some of her favorite workouts in her Grazia interview. She revealed that her current go-to workout is Pilates. “I really love it and I’m seeing a lot of results from it, actually,” Habboo said. “I’m a bit of a cardio junkie so it took me a while to adjust to a more fluid form of exercise. But I’m there now, I’ve bitten the bullet.” Pilates has a lot of health benefits. The Cleveland Clinic states, “Pilates is a form of strength training, but it doesn’t look like some of the other strength training exercises you might be familiar with. Pilates focuses more on improving muscle tone than building muscles, but the result is similar: greater stability and endurance. Pilates isn’t going to bulk you up — if anything, it’s designed to cultivate a longer, leaner look. Still, it can lay a strong physical foundation for muscle-building activities — and may even reduce your likelihood of injury. More on that later.”
Habboo makes sure to workout, and she sometimes does so without leaving her home. In her Grazia interview, Habboo says that she loves doing online classes, and shares her reason for wanting to workout at home. “We have a little puppy now,” she says. “So I’m working out a lot more at home out of necessity. I’m obsessed with Byrony Deery’s classes.”
Habboo revealed to Grazia that she is working on drinking a lot more water. “I want to be really clear and focused on the day. I want to feel like my best self and I’m really making an effort at the moment to be mindful, to exercise and to drink lots of water at the moment.”
Habboo does a lot of traveling. She and her husband recently took a ski trip for Christmas, and shared a lot of highlights on Instagram. In one of these photos, Habboo is seen on the slopes. She captioned the post, “Happy Christmas.” The Canadian Ski Council reports that skiing has a lot of benefits. “It’s well documented that skiing and snowboarding benefits cardiovascular health, overall fitness, strength, coordination, balance and more. Regardless of your health and fitness goals, strapping on a pair of skis or a snowboard is sure to fulfill some of them. Due to the versatility of skiing and snowboarding, it can encompass the benefits of a cardio workout, high-intensity interval training (HIIT) session, and strength training session, all in one fun activity.”
