Big Bang Theory Star Alessandra Torresani in Workout Gear Says "Come With Me"
Alessandra Torresani is getting her sweat on during a wellness weekend. In a new social media post the Big Bang Theory star showed off her amazing body in workout clothes during a fitness-fueled event thrown by Babylist. "Come with me," she captioned the Instagram video. How does the 36-year-old mother-of-one approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
In her recent post, Alessandra does yoga at the event. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. "Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood," they said. "People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating."
Alessandra makes sure to get her steps in, a great way to 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.
Alessandra is an experienced equestrian. "I was beyond honored to host @namicommunicate Self Care University at @specialspiritinc equine therapy center! As a NAMI Ambassador, I have the opportunity to experience such unique, healing moments in the Mental Health space," she captioned a recent post. According to the American Heart Association, riding horses is great for your health. Not only does it boost cardiovascular health, but builds core strength, burns calories, and lowers blood pressure. It is also great for your mental health as it helps relax you.
You can also find Alessandra hiking the great trails of Los Angeles. 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, and decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems
Alessandra swims to burn calories in the pool. According to the CDC, just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, there are multiple studies supporting the mental health benefits of swimming as well.
