Maria Arreghini is soaking up the sun in beautiful Puglia, Italy

Italian sports reporter Maria Arreghini is soaking up the sun in beautiful Puglia, Italy. Arreghini shared sultry snaps of herself posing on the rocks at the beach in a tiny white bikini, looking happy and relaxed. "Where will you go on vacation this year? ☀️Can't wait to go to the beach ?," she captioned the post.

Arreghini doesn't need a gym to stay fit—her at-home workouts consist of squats, donkey kicks, and jumping jacks. "Jumping jacks are an aerobic exercise that can significantly elevate your heart rate and challenge your cardiovascular system," says the American Sports and Fitness Association. "By incorporating jumping jacks into your workouts, you can improve your cardiovascular fitness, leading to better overall heart health and endurance."

Arreghini uses the elliptical machine when she's at the gym. The elliptical machine is a good choice for those who want to go easy on their joints, experts say. "Joint protection is why many healthcare providers recommend ellipticals over treadmills when reintroducing exercise, especially after injury or surgery," says exercise physiologist Katie Lawton, MEd.

Arreghini frequently posts social media updates from her travel adventures. Not only is exploring new places fun, research shows it can be beneficial for mental health. "Traveling for pleasure can contribute to subjective well-being because people have more opportunities to detach from their work environment, to experience new things, and to control what they want to do during vacations," says Paul Simeone, PhD, Vice President and Medical Director of Behavioral Health with Lee Health. "There's ample research to support that positive travel experiences can make a person healthier, can strengthen their relationships, and benefits their overall wellness."

Arreghini loves swimming, be it in the pool or the ocean. "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," says the CDC. "This can also lead to improved health for people with diabetes and heart disease."

Arreghini makes a point of drinking water rather than cocktails when she is spending time in the sun. "Since it provides a sense of fullness, water can help you feel satisfied in between meals—instead of heading to the snack cupboard," says the National Council on Aging. "It can also help boost your metabolism."
