Alyssa Snider loves running for cardio

Alyssa Snider, the Big Brother 24 star, is sharing car selfies with her many fans. Snider posted a snap of herself posing in her car, wearing a blue bathing suit and white bandana. "Another day, another photo," reads the text on her picture.

Snider loves running for cardio. "The benefits are overwhelmingly positive in the vast majority of people who run," says Raul Mitrani, MD, a cardiologist with the University of Miami Health System. "It lowers blood pressure, lowers heart rate, improves metabolism, delays diabetes, promotes weight loss, and prolongs life. If you could take all the benefits of running and put them in a pill, it'd be a bestseller."

Weight training is an important part of Snider's workouts, which is important for maintaining muscle mass while losing fat. "Decreased body fat decreases the overall risk of cardiovascular diseases, cancers, obesity-related health risk, and much more," says strength and conditioning coach Jonathan Mike. "Having a higher ratio of lean body mass versus body fat will always serve the individual to more positive health changes every time."

Snider uses resistance bands for workouts, sometimes while using weights at the same time. "Studies show that there are no benefit changes between machines, free weights, and resistance bands," says Hayden Steele, NSCA-CPT, CSCS. "Optimally, they would all be used together [in a training regimen], but when you look at strength benefits, you can't say that dumbbells are more effective than resistance bands. They just offer the same benefits for less money."

Snider loves acai bowls for a healthy snack. "Thanks to its high levels of antioxidants and phytochemicals, acai berries are believed to offer many benefits," says dietician Jennifer Shim. "These include heart health, by improving cholesterol levels, and cognitive function, by fighting inflammation and oxidation in brain cells."

Snider enjoys F45 training sessions. "Wherever you are in your fitness journey, F45 has the answer," says Haydn Elliott, who co-owns F45 Oxford Circus with business partner Tristan Smith. "It's an unintimidating, enjoyable, and results-proven environment that takes all the thinking out of your training. I've never seen a concept that has people raring to go at 5:30am or 6pm straight after work. It's addictive, but more importantly, it's genuinely life-changing."
