1. She Enjoys Yoga and Barre
Slater’s favorite workout is—of course—dancing, but she likes to branch out into other exercises. “I love Yoga barre type workouts too,” she tells Witney Carson. “They lengthen my calves! Uphill walking and hiking I do a fair bit of, music is the one thing I must have to work out because then it’s more like meditation for me rather than just working out. I couldn’t do it without music. Lately my partner Rashad has been going through NFL warm ups with me before rehearsal and I LOVE them!”
2. She Loves Fish and Salad
Healthy eating isn’t a struggle for Slater—she loves protein-filled salads. “Honestly, I’m a salad and fish person,” she says. “I will eat just a basic leafy salad with an Asian dressing. I also like raw veggies with hummus, but not celery because I hate the aftertaste! I do mostly smoothies though during the season. Almond milk, banana, kale, spirulina, apple and plant based protein.”
3. Popcorn Is Her Guilty Pleasure

Slater loves to indulge in popcorn once in a while. “Popcorn! Movie style. Gosh there’s nothing better than seeing a great film with [husband] Sash or the girls, and having a massive tub of popcorn on your lap,” she says. “Even if the film is bad, I’m still really happy! I get the popcorn, Sash gets the peanut M&Ms. Everyone’s happy.”
4. She Loves Breakfast
Slater loves a leisurely breakfast first-thing on her days off. “Wake up on a day off, quickly shower and get out the house straightaway,” she describes her perfect “date”. “Get in the car and drive to our local breakfast spot, Food Lab! It might seem boring to always go there but it feels so relaxing because it’s quite European so feels like home.”
5. She Thrives on Adventure
Slater enjoys trying new things and exploring whenever she gets the chance. “I like being adventurous and spontaneous. I enjoy the little things so I don’t need an over the top fancy date with lots of bells and whistles for me to be really into the guy,” she says. “I’m not flashy so an extreme lavish lifestyle would get boring to me after a while if I wasn’t also able to take time for the little things in life, because that’s where I believe raw beauty is. And now I’ve found my forever guy, we are always so aware that our perfect date can be everyday because of the little things we do together.”
