Her love-hate relationship with home workouts only reiterates that it's still the easiest way to get fitter.“It’s important for us to nurture our health more than ever now. There are many workouts you can find online, based on what area of the body you want to focus on and what intensity level you want to train,” shared Alaya in a recent Instagram post.
2) Become a dancing queen

Cardio doesn't have to be boring and Alaya is proof. Gym's have opened, but there's no pressure to run on a treadmill, as everyone has their own preferences when it comes to working out. Take inspiration from her and let groovy beats flow through your body as you burn those calories with a happy head.
3) Work on your flexibility

Often flexibility isn't associated with being fit. No, we're not saying that you need to try and become a pretzel like Alaya over night. But, it's important to practice stretching every day for stronger muscles and a healthy body.
4) Social media challenges for the win

Each one of us at some point during the past two years have participated in social media fitness challenges, and so has Alaya. While it fostered a sense of digital community initially, it became more about self-love and better health with each passing day. And yes, even now you can try some of these fun sessions at home.
5) Practice Yoga

Yoga is possibly one form of movement, pop-culture celebrities swear by and we can't agree more. While you may see only perfect poses and smiling photos most of the time, let Alaya show you that struggling with new postures is normal and it's crucial to trust the process for steady growth.
