Dani Fernandez Rocks a Fit Physique While Embracing Self-Care
Comedian, actress, and writer, Dani Fernandez doesn't just work hard at her career, but towards her health and fitness goals, as well. On Instagram, she shows off her fit physique in a bathing suit, with photos captioned "the female gaze. Face card never declines. How are you beating the summer heat…?" It's clear Dani puts in the work to keep herself looking amazing, but what exactly does she do to keep herself mentally and physically strong? Here's what we found!
She spends time outside
She loves being outside at the beach, as seen here on Instagram on her birthday, captioned "hello it's my birthday 🎂🎉 I am a chaotic Gemini 😈😇I embody the full human experience. Come perceive me !!!" Being outside is so beneficial for not just your physical health, but your mental health, as well.
She fights for reproductive health rights
She is passionate about and stands up for women's rights to reproductive health. She took to Instagram to say "everyone deserves access to birth control 🤠 Texas is a lot more than white guys in F150s. The south is not a monolith 💃🏻 Everyone deserves to protect their reproductive health." She's not afraid to talk publicly about what she believes in.
She spends time with animals
She enjoys spending time with animals, as seen on Instagram with the caption, "the wolf full moon with my little wolf 🐶 Got to go to the @californiawolfcenter in Julian where I got to meet some of their 🐺🐺🐺 They are doing great work to help our endangered wolves!
Also the house I rented for the weekend had alpacas next door 🦙." According to HealthyBrains.org, "some studies have found that just a few minutes a day petting or visiting with an animal lowers the stress hormone of cortisol and increases the feel-good hormone of serotonin. The results can range from lowered heart rates and blood pressure to decreased depression."
She spends time on the water
She knows when to take a mental break from it all, spending time on the water as seen on Instagram, captioned "thicc thighs save lives and I'm here to save you!!! After all my comic con panels I decided to take a morning to go jetskiing. Best idea I've ever had!" Having fun outdoors and in the water can be a great way to soak in the sun and lift your mood.
She's confident
Confidence is key, and she has plenty of it! She posed near the pool, as seen on Instagram, captioned "I never posted this one. Feeling a lil cheeky 😇🍑 I'm pro thirst trap. Let folks know you feelin yourself✨📸: @themikegarcia." According to the Cleveland Clinic, "with a positive self-image, we recognize and own our assets and potentials while being realistic about our liabilities and limitations. With a negative self-image, we focus on our faults and weaknesses, distorting failure and imperfections."
