Erin Cardillo is enjoying the sun – in her workout clothes. In a new social media post The Suite Life on Deck star shows off her amazing figure while outdoors. “EXT. DISNEY (Endless Summer) – Sunhat Thursdays are back at the picket lines! It’s a thing (I made up) as delirium sets in,” she captioned the Instagram post. How does the actress and showrunner approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
You can often find Erin skiing the slopes of Mammoth. “Amazing day with my buddy who exclaimed that skiing might beat out bike riding and his iPad. #happyskimom,” she captioned a photo of herself skiing with her son. 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.
Another outdoor sport Erin enjoys is standup paddle boarding. “Wish me luck,” she captioned a post on the water. 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.
Erin takes advantage of the great southern California weather by going on regular hikes. She also travels around the world and gets her sweat on. “It’s pretty here. That is all. #vancouver #daytrip #squamish #suspensionbridge,” 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
- Decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems
Erin gets her steps in. She can often be found walking on the beach. 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.
Erin relaxes by curling up with a good book. “Ready for this @ginasorell ❤️❤️❤️ #thewisewomen,” she captioned a post. One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years compared with people who weren’t readers or who read periodicals.
