She Does Dragon Flags
Thomas likes to do dragon flags to keep herself in shape, as you can see from her Instagram post. She explained what she likes about the exercise in the caption. “Dragon flags demand eccentric control, which strengthens your core’s ability to resist movement. Basically, they build a rock-solid foundation for everything—running, lifting, even just staying injury-free in life.”
She Does Full-Body Workouts

Thomas likes to do full-body exercises. In the caption of her recent post, she revealed that this is why she loves dragon flags. “If you’ve ever attempted these, you know the burn is real. Not only do they challenge your entire core from top to bottom, but they also require insane control, stability, & full-body tension. It’s not just your abs working—your lats, glutes, & even your mind are in the game.”
She Runs
Another thing that Thomas does to keep herself in shape is running. She shared this video on Instagram of herself on the treadmill. Thomas captioned the post, “Start small, start messy, start scared—but start now. Your future self will thank you. Time passes anyway, so don’t wait for the ‘perfect’ moment, because it’s already here. One year from now, you’ll either wish you started today or thank yourself for taking the leap. Need help getting started on your health & fitness journey?! I gotchu. 🫶🏼”
She Does Squats
Thomas shared some of her favorite leg workouts in this Instagram post. One thing she is seen doing is squats. According to Piedmont, squats have a lot of benefits. “Squats are a compound, multi-joint movement, which means they exercise several muscle groups. When you perform a squat, you work your calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, core and part of your back.”
She Strength Trains

Thomas is seen strength training in the previous Instagram post. According to The Mayo Clinic, strength training exercises have a lot of benefits. “Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories. Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age.”
