The well-known bodybuilder, Savannah Wright, is a digital creator sharing with her community how she aims to create balance between health and everyday life. “Try this treadmill workout 😏🤍 no running required and only 20 minutes! Been loving it for active recovery days,” she said on Instagram on a video of her adjusting the treadmill to various speeds and inclines. Here’s what she does to prioritize her health and wellness.
1. She’s mentally strong
She works on her mental strength, in addition to her physical strength, explained in this Instagram video she posted about how her anxiety improved when she started working out. “Sometimes the biggest gains aren’t the ones you see - it’s the ones your feel,” she said on Instagram. “Mental toughness shares similarity with resilience in that both concepts promote positive adaptation in the face of adversity,” according to the National Library of Medicine.
2. She eats healthy
She likes to eat, but aims to keep it healthy…most of the time. “Some days I snack a lot and somedays like today I do a solid 3 meals! Which are you? Snacker or meal gal? ✨👀 Ps if you don’t put ranch on your pasta, you are missing out 🤣 try to tell me otherwise,” she said on Instagram.
3. She keeps her arms engaged
She keeps her arms in the workout. “Sav 🤝🏻 buying a pair of wrist weights. This is the best cardio routine 👀 it keeps my arms engaged and active instead of leading on the machine andddd added resistances helps me engaged my glutes more. Let me know if you’ve tried this or if you think it’s crazy 🤪 I’ve been told so,” she said on a video on Instagram of her working out on a stair master with her wrist weights being put to work.
4. She goes off of how she feels
She bases her workouts on her mood and how she’s feeling to keep things interesting. “I’ve trained in the past strictly for how I want to look and let me tell you, it was so BORING overtime 😴 Now I train based on how it makes me FEEL. Whether it’s functional movement, running one day to blow off steam or yoga the next when I’m feeling stressed,” she said on Instagram.
5. She takes it slow
She takes it one day at a time when she’s moving back into a routine after being thrown off track a bit. “I think the hardest part is just forcing yourself to get into the habit again 💪🏼I was sick one week and the following I went to the chiropractor which made it impossible to lift weights with how sore I felt 🙃 first day back and I baby stepped it back in 🙌🏼 I think where we go wrong is giving it your all the first day back then you’re too sore or tired to create a routine out of it 👀 Remember it’s a marathon, not a sprint,” she said on Instagram.
