Heather Dinich is showing off her fit at 49 body – in a two-piece exercise set. In a new social media post the ESPN host poses by a lake in a tank top and shorts. "Bring it on!" she captioned the instagram photo. "Go Heather!" commented one of her followers. "🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥," added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits. 

1

Running

Heather is a runner. "I usually run about 70 miles per month," she reveals in an Instagram video. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. "For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories," they say.

Stretching

Heather also understands the importance of warming up prior to exercise. In the video, she also spends a good amount of time stretching before hitting the trails. "Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints," says Harvard Health. "Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage."

Strength Training

Heather also strength trains. She shared her bodysuit workout on Instagram. "Backyard bodyweight. It's free," she captioned the video. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

  • Develop strong bones
  • Manage your weight
  • Enhance your quality of life
  • Manage chronic conditions
  • Sharpen your thinking skills

Skiing

Heather enjoys skiing. "Escape. Family. Friends. This is all I need. And … the bunny slope," she captioned an Instagram video. Research has linked downhill skiing to a number of health benefits. In addition to promoting physical fitness, it may decrease risk of cardiovascular and metabolic diseases. Studies have also found that the more frequently a person skis, prevalence of known hypercholesterolemia, systemic hypertension, diabetes, the frequency of mental stress and the occurrence of memory deficits declines.

Reading

In her "Summer of 24 recap," she reads a book. One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years compared with people who weren't readers or who read periodicals.
