1. She Stays Present in Her Body

“The times in my life when I tried to restrict the foods I love always backfired, and I ended up feeling miserable. For me, it’s all about really being present in my body, not depriving it,” she told Shape.

2. She’s Tried to Add More Silliness in Her Life

"I'm trying to have a sense of play. A lot of my life over the last decade has been work, recover, work, recover. That doesn't leave much room for anything else. That's the mindset and the reality for a lot of people. You work and then recover so you can work some more. Putting some fun and silliness into my life is one of my goals,” she told Shape.

3. She Hikes

“The faster, farther and more frequently you walk, the greater the benefits. For example, you may start out as an average walker, and then work your way up to walking faster and walking a mile in a shorter amount of time than an average walker, similar to power walkers. This can be a great way to get aerobic activity, improve your heart health and increase your endurance while burning calories,” says the Mayo Clinic. “You can also alternate periods of brisk walking with leisurely walking. This type of interval training has many benefits, such as improving cardiovascular fitness and burning more calories than regular walking. And interval training can be done in less time than regular walking.”

4. She’s Tried Certain Wellness Techniques

"I've tried a couple of meditation classes, and so far I feel like I'm doing it wrong," she says. "My mind races more when I meditate. And I was vegan for a year, or maybe even two, and it was the best I've ever felt. Then I just fell off the wagon super hard. I was like, Well, maybe I can just do vegan most days. But no. It was the classic slippery-slope situation for Anna,” she told Shape.

5. She’s Part of a Changing Industry, and Worked Hard to Get Her Seat at the Table

Kendrick has worked hard to get a seat at the table. “There was a film I did many years ago and it was a mostly male cast... which doesn’t narrow it down very much at all,” she adds, with a wry laugh. “There were times when I was like, ‘Oh my God. I’m a joke to you.’ I think if those guys could see videos of themselves now, they would be totally horrified. They wouldn’t even recognise themselves, because the world is changing and people are becoming more self-aware,” she told the Independent.

1. She Stands Up For Herself

Humber isn’t afraid of standing up for herself. After being criticized for her appearance on Below Deck, Humber responded in this Instagram post. “Picture evidence of me being an aggressive, bossy black woman. Valuing actions, dialogue and consent. It felt like somewhat of a human sacrifice throwing my 22 year old self into a reality tv show. Thank you god for removing my fear of failure and judgment, truly everything missing was on the other side.”

2. She’s Grateful

After her departure from Below Deck, Humber opened up about her relationship with Captain Sandy Yawn on Watch What Happens Live. She says that despite everything, she is grateful for the experience. “[The] status is no status,” she said. “Last time we checked up, she was just my captain and now she’s just my ex-captain. But yeah, no, I think about her often, and honestly, she taught me some very hard lessons that nobody’s been able to teach me in my 22 years before the show. And I’m grateful for her.”

Humber does a lot of outdoor activities to stay in shape. One thing she likes to do is go roller skating. She did some skating at the beginning of the year. Humber shared these photos on Instagram from the day. She captioned the post, “January 1st.” Skating can help with balance and coordination.
