Love Island's Danica Taylor Shows Off Fit Figure "Cooking Up a Storm"

Danica Taylor is heating things up on social media – in a red swimsuit. In a new post the Love Island star shows off her fit figure in a bathing suit and sweats. "Cooking up a st⚡️rm," she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. "Gorgeous 🔥🔥" commented one of her followers. "Right there is Perfection, easily 11 out of 10. That is all," added another. How does the reality star maintain her amazing figure? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Danica is a dancer. "Umm this is my kinda cardio baby, if this didn't make you want to get up and join in I'll be very disappointed," she captioned a post of herself dancing in her bathing suit. What makes it a great workout? It helps build strength and promote flexibility, and also can help you lose weight. It can even be beneficial for heart health. 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.

Danica stretches before she works out. She recently filmed "a little stretching montage" before "doing some dance fitness because who wants to run on a treadmill?? SO LAST YEAR!! I said I'd recreate my stretching from in the villa too so I guess your welcome. This is your reminder from Danica to stretch, some of you be looking hella stiff haha love ya," she captioned another post. "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."

Danica promotes self-love and acceptance. "Learn to love the skin you're in! You are all beautiful in your own way, don't let beauty standards, filters or anything make you think otherwise," she told her fans in a post. 

Danica also hits the gym for regular strength training sweat sessions. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

• Develop strong bones
• Manage your weight
• Enhance your quality of life
• Manage chronic conditions
• Sharpen your thinking skills

Danica understands the importance of hydration, especially with her active lifestyle. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.
