Ice Hockey Stunner Mikayla Demaiter in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares a New Selfie
Mikayla Demaiter is heating up social media with her latest selfies. In a few new posts the ice hockey stunner shows off her fierce figure in tiny black shorts and a crop top. She shared the mirror selfies via her Instagram Stories. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
Hockey
Hockey is Mikayla's main form of fitness. One study found that playing hockey just one day a week offers benefits. Physically active males age 35 or over who play ice hockey regularly experienced enhanced health more so than other physically active males. "While these players are larger in body size, they have significantly lower rates of diabetes, high blood pressure and heart disease and report significantly higher rates of self-assessed health," the study found.
Jet Skiing
Mikayla loves jet skiing when she is near water. What makes it a great vacation activity? Health Fitness Revolution claims that the average 150-pound rider will burn a surprising 238 calories during a half-hour ride. The sport is also great for cardiovascular endurance.
Stretching
Mikayla understands the importance of stretching. "Pre-workout stretch," she captioned an Instagram Story. "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."
Yoga
Mikayla is a yogi. "Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood," says Harvard Health. "People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating."
Glute Work
If you want a booty like Mikayla, you are going to have to work for it. She does a lot of glute work to keep her backside in check. She shared an example of a glute set on her Instagram Stories. She does glute kickbacks, jump squats, and glute rainbows.
