Dewanna Bonner In Workout Gear Makes History At WNBA Game
WNBA season has just started, and DeWanna Bonner is already breaking records. During her first game with the Indiana Fever on Saturday, she became the league’s third all-time leading scorer. DeWanna recently shared a video on Instagram of that historic moment. She captioned the post, “Still in aww of this moment!! Grateful is the only word that comes to mind!! To anyone chasing something bigger than themselves, keep going. Your moment is coming.” Here are 5 of DeWanna Bonner’s wellness secrets.
She Knows What Works
For DeWanna, keeping herself in shape means knowing what works for her. “I think I learn my body each and every year,” she told The Next Hoops. “The older you get, you got to be a little bit smarter about the things you eat and how you sleep and take care of your body. For the most part, I think I do a pretty good job in the offseason of making sure I can come back in the season and sustain this crazy schedule — just understanding my body and learning it each and every year, and figuring out what works for me.”
She Works Hard
DeWanna tells The Next Hoops that she works hard. She makes sure to work on the aspects of basketball that she struggles with after games. “I just been to the gym a lot, working on my 3s,” she said. “I feel like I was missing ones that were very easy in the beginning of the season. So literally, that’s all I work on after practice.”
She Has Support
DeWanna is engaged to fellow WNBA star Alyssa Thomas. She revealed to Essence that Alyssa has supported her through her mental health struggles. “She helps me with my anxiety, especially during the season. I’m a high-stress person—not just during the season but in general. I don’t like unknown things. I think she calms me down and reminds me that everything’s going to work out. And it always does.”
She Takes Better Care Of Her Skin
Another thing that Alyssa has helped DeWanna with is her skincare routine. “I wasn’t big on it at first,” DeWanna told Essence. “I felt like I had naturally good skin, so I’d just wash my face with whatever and put on some moisturizer. She’d tell me, ‘You need this and you need that. This is for this, and this is for this.’ I was like, ‘Oh, God.’ Now she just orders all my skin care stuff for me, and I just use it. I don’t know a lot about that stuff, but she’s on TikTok and loves it. She finds all this information there. But I refuse to get TikTok, because I don’t want to get addicted to it.”
She Does Turkish Baths
DeWanna loves spending time at the spa. One thing she likes to do is the Turkish Bath. DeWanna shared this video on Instagram of herself having one done. She captioned the post, “So I did a thing today! Today was my first time doing a Traditional Turkish Bath!! It was one of the best spa experiences I’ve ever had!! And of course I had to share the experience with one of my closest friends @vonnvonn22 🖤🤘🏾!! *ABSOLUTELY AMAZING*”
