Cindy also stretches prior to working out. “Warm ups before leg day 💪🏼 These movements will help you lift heavier and target glutes better,” she captioned a 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.”
5. Eat Healthy
According to Cindy, “drinking a smoothie a day, keeps the bloat away.” She makes hers with almond, coconut, or rice milk, lots of fruits and veggies, and things like chia seeds, oats, fiber supplements, and tofu. She also maintains a healthy diet and offers eating plans on her website.
