Jara incorporates weights and resistance training into her workout regimen. "Your body fat percentage will increase over time if you don't do anything to replace the lean muscle you lose over time," says the Mayo Clinic. "Strength training can help you preserve and enhance your muscle mass at any age."
Jara loves to jump rope for some quick and easy cardio. "You can jump rope at a slow, steady pace if you want to use it as low-impact, steady-state cardio or you can increase the intensity with techniques like high knees or double-unders (when the rope passes under the feet twice per jump) if you want to use it for HIIT-style training," says ISSA-certified personal trainer Mike Matthews. "Plus, if you're pushed for time and looking for an effective full-body workout, jumping rope is an excellent solution."
Jara loves diving and snorkeling, which have incredible physical and mental health benefits thanks to "blue therapy". "I make it a point to go on a beach walk with my husband and our two dogs at least twice a week," says Christine Scott-Hudson, M.A., LMFT, ATR, a psychotherapist and art therapist in Santa Barbara, California. "Going on a beach walk has restorative powers that exercising inside of a gym just does not have. Looking out onto the blue water is both relaxing and healing."
Jara uses battle ropes as part of her workout routine. "The key to their effectiveness is that they work each arm independently, eliminating strength imbalances as they sculpt your muscle," says John Brookfield, creator of the original battling-ropes system.
Jara is passionate about riding horses. "Interacting with animals has been shown to decrease levels of cortisol (a stress-related hormone) and lower blood pressure," says the National Institutes of Health. "Other studies have found that animals can reduce loneliness, increase feelings of social support, and boost your mood."
