Danielle Kang in Workout Gear Shares Photo of "Life Lately"

Danielle Kang is breaking a sweat on the golf course – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the professional athlete shows off her fit figure and prize swing while hitting golf balls. "Life lately," she captioned the Instagram videos and photos. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits. 

Danielle is very strategic about her diet. "I work with nutritionists to create my on-course eating plan: hard-boiled eggs for protein, dried sweet potatoes for carbs and rice cakes with cashew butter for fats," she told Golf Digest about what she brings in her golf bag to snack on. 

Danielle is a big advocate of mental health and is a fan of talking it out. "Seeking help for mental health needs to be normalized. I've had help. I see a sport psychologist and a therapist so that I can talk about what I need to talk about. I lean on my friends a lot, too," she told Golf Digest.

Danielle also practices breathing and meditation. "However big or small the issue, I know I have to get my mind clear, so I can play. I also know it's not always going to be clear. I've been learning to perform even when things are going on. I use box breathing [inhaling for four counts, holding your breath for four counts, exhaling for four counts and repeat] a lot on the course," she told Golf Digest. 

Danielle, who has practiced taekwondo much of her life, explains to Golf Digest how it contributed to her success as a golfer? "It built a foundation in my life. I trained for more than 10 years. You learn discipline, respect, self defense, and hard work. The explosiveness of taekwondo is similar to the explosiveness in the golf swing. But I don't do martial-arts workout classes anymore because I'm scared that I'll get hooked. It happened with kickboxing. I had to stop cold turkey," she said. 

When she's not playing golf, you can find Danielle engaging in other healthy activities. "I like art. I paint when I'm home. I like doing random things. Whether it's hiking in Zion National Park or going to see a friend who lives far away, I'll just get on a plane and do it. I eat good food. I read books; my favorite is The Five People You Meet in Heaven. I love movie nights," she told the publication.
