1. She Does Squats
As you can see from her recent Instagram post, Heenan doesn’t skip leg day. One of the exercises she enjoys doing are different kinds of squats. According to Allina Health, squats are a great exercise to incorporate into your routine. “The squat is one of the all-around best exercises to do for your lower body. It strengthens and tones muscles in your thighs, butt and calves and improves posture, balance, flexibility and inner core strength. Squatting also improves bone mineral density to keep your bones strong.”
2. She Works Her Entire Body
Heenan makes sure to work her entire body. She shared her go-to circuit in this Instagram video. Heenan captioned the post, “4 Exercise Total Body Workout with PowerBlock! Here’s your workout: ✔️Seated Overhead Press. ✔️ Front Squat. ✔️ Renegade Row. ✔️ Reverse Lunge Knee Raise. 40-seconds on, 20-second rest on each exercise. 4-5 rounds. Rest 1-minute between rounds.”
3. She’s Setting Boundaries
Heenan revealed in the caption of this Instagram post that she is working on setting boundaries in her life. She also revealed how she is changing things in the caption “As a recovering People Pleaser, here are some phrases I have picked up along the way as I practice setting boundaries and advocating for my own needs. 1️⃣ ‘Thank you, but my plate is already as full as I’d like.’ (Thank you for teaching me this one @themollygalbraith!) 2️⃣’I can’t make it that day.’ (No excuse needed). 3️⃣’Thank you for understanding.’ When saying no, thanking them for understanding has been helpful for me to relieve that dissonant feeling of potential frustration or disappointment to make it more seamless to move forward.”
4. She Has A Minimal Wellness Routine
Heenan shared her healthy habits in this Instagram post. She captioned it, “GRWM for a day of training! I like to keep my routines minimal, but be the most optimized. I don’t want to feel like I have a super long check list of things to do every morning, so periodically I evaluate my habits to see if they are serving me well. Here are the things that I focus on right now: ✔️Drinking water. ✔️ @joiwomenswellness smart supplements. ✔️Read while I drink coffee and have breakfast. It’s not much, but the simplicity works for me, especially on days when I’m on the go.”
5. She Improves Her Diet
Heenan shared her secrets for staying consistent with her diet in this Instagram post. “How do you reprogram to focus on the areas you want to improve? Here are three things that can help get the ball rolling: 1️⃣Create a realistic plan with built in flexibility. 2️⃣Switch the mindset to making it a lifestyle instead of a short term plan you are on. Choosing nutritious food often is a piece of who you are, not a short term quick fix diet. 3️⃣Regularly reflect on how it is going, recalibrate with what you want to adjust, and move forward doing the best you can each day. These concepts can be used far beyond food and really adjusted to any area you want to improve. With time, consistency, practice, and grace with yourself, making it a habit will be all the difference!”
