Kendra Andrews is hitting the basketball court in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the ESPN reporter shows off her amazing body in an exercise set while she plays with pal Fiona Parks. “Any team got some 10-day contracts for Chad and Troy?” she captioned the series of snaps and videos of the two on the court. “Iconic,” commented one of her followers. “Too cool, too cute!!!!” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
White Wine
Kendra is a wine drinker. “Ending summer right where I started it - in wine country!” she captioned a post, sipping on a glass of white. While red wine is slightly healthier than white, the lighter shade of vino generally has fewer calories than the darker shade.
Hiking
Kendra enjoys getting outside and going on hikes. “No place like the coast,” she captioned a post. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:
- Building stronger muscles and bones
- Improving your sense of balance
- Improving your heart health
- Decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems
Ice Skating
She also goes ice skating with friends. “Well the good news is none of us fell,” she captioned a photo of herself in the rink with pals. According to Harvard Medical School, ice skating will burn up to 200 calories per hour. It is also great for joint and muscle health and helps improve balance and coordination.
Coffee
Kendra is a coffee drinker. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.
Basketball
Kendra’s beat is basketball. “Basketball promotes speed, agility, strength, power and endurance. It [has] also been shown to increase flexibility and motor coordination. As a result, basketball is uniquely oriented to improve fundamental motor skills that are shown to be beneficial in promoting general health,” Koco Eaton, M.D., orthopedic surgeon, founder of Eaton Orthopaedics and a former basketball player, tells Nike.
