Dancer Anna Raschdorf in Two-Piece Workout Gear is "Gonna Blow Ur Mind"

Anna Raschdorf is blowing her followers away with her latest dance video in her workout gear. In a new social media post the dancer and influencer flaunts her amazing figure while showing off her moves. "Gonna blow ur mind 🫱🏽‍🫲🏼," she wrote in the caption of the Instagram post. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits. 

Anna relaxes with the help of a good book. During "a dreamy getaway in silence," Anna spent a lot of time reading 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. 

Anna is a coffee drinker. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. "It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function," they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.df44d9eab23ea271ddde7545ae2c09ec

According to Anna "flexibility" is key when it comes to dancing. Stretching regularly helps with this. "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."

When she isn't on the dancefloor, you can find Anna swimming in the ocean, which is an effective way of getting regular aerobic physical activity, according to the CDC. 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. In addition to the many physical benefits, there are multiple studies supporting the mental health benefits of swimming as well. 

Anna's main form of fitness is dancing. Dancing is a great workout for many reasons. Not only does it build strength and promote flexibility, but helps you lose weight and even promotes cardiovascular function. A 2016 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine determined that people who engaged in moderate-intensity dancing were 46 percent less likely to develop heart disease or die from it than non-dancers. In comparison, moderate-intensity walkers were just 25 percent less likely to suffer heart health issues.
