Fitness Influencer Adriene Mishler in Two-Piece Workout Gear Says "Listen to Your Heart"

She’s Found Herself

Joan opened up about finding herself in the caption of her recent post. “In the past few months, so many of us have had our world shaken. My deepest ‘why’ has always been connection with my community. When this foundation was rattled… I felt the pain & the deep emotions so many of us share. For the first time in a long time, I felt lost. I felt uncertain. I second guessed everything about how to re-connect & rebuild. I retreated into myself. but I came to my mat every day. Creating THIS course reminded me (to borrow my own words from LAVA)… Who the F* I AM. I am a #Creator I am a #Force I am an #Empath I am a #GameChanger I am #Limitless ✨AND SO ARE YOU ✨I have FOUND myself again… and on a deeper, more powerful level.”

She Does Yoga

Joan is seen doing yoga poses in her Instagram reel. Yoga has a lot of benefits. Harvard Health says, “Yoga develops inner awareness. It focuses your attention on your body's abilities at the present moment. It helps develop breath and strength of mind and body. It's not about physical appearance. Yoga studios typically don't have mirrors. This is so people can focus their awareness inward rather than how a pose — or the people around them — looks. Surveys have found that those who practiced yoga were more aware of their bodies than people who didn't practice yoga. They were also more satisfied with and less critical of their bodies. For these reasons, yoga has become an integral part in the treatment of eating disorders and programs that promote positive body image and self-esteem.”

She Manages Her Stress

Joan makes sure to manage her stress. She talked about how she does so in the caption of this Instagram post. “One of the pillars of longevity is.. STRESS MANAGEMENT. I get this in under 30min a day with LAVA & Barre Blend + my 60 affirmation meditations. I ALSO get this in the simple moments of life that bring me joy. Walking my rescue dogs in the rain lets me habit stack so many things that contribute to my reverse aging. unconditional love & joy, grounding in nature, stepping away from my devices, getting fresh air into my lungs, a healthy dose of vitamin D, and time being present in the moment ♥️. I’d love to hear some of the ways YOU practice stress management ⬇️. Let me know in the comments. Happy Friday Friends! Xoxo E.”

She Swims

Joan likes to swim to keep herself in shape. She shared this set of photos on Instagram of herself swimming in Mallorca. Joan captioned them, “CURRENT MOOD✨. . .

Sometimes… the light & the tides change quickly. The key to happiness is how you respond. Create your OWN life 🫶🏻… I support you. #Retreat lessons ☀️🌊”

She Does HIIT

Joan likes to do HIIT workouts to keep herself in shape. She shared this video of herself doing them on Instagram. Joan captioned the post, “HIIT ME WITH YOUR BEST SHOT 👊🏼@bodi LAVA HIIT training is unlike any other. I use intense strength training moves in sequence to elevate the heart rate WHILE building #POWER #STRENGTH & #EXPLOSIVITY without the joint-damaging impact. Whether you’re on week 1 or week3… how did you do in today’s HIIT? I needed a LOT of breaks, as the cardio interval time went up from week 1 (for me, the need for breaks came mostly from muscle fatigue before cardiovascular fatigue- though both were in play. *see facial expressions & boomers concern for my ‘panting’ 😆).”

She Jumps Rope

As you can see from her Instagram post, Parr likes to jump rope to keep herself in shape. The Cleveland Clinic reports that this has a lot of health benefits. “Jumping rope can be a good form of cardio, which increases your heart rate and can help decrease your risk of cardiovascular disease. And when you increase your heart rate, you also burn more calories. So, how many calories does jumping rope burn? While it depends on your pace, on average, someone may burn about 100 calories jumping rope for 10 minutes.”

She Works Out With Others

Parr likes to do group exercise to keep herself in shape. She shared this video of herself and her friends doing a push-up challenge on Instagram. Parr captioned the post, “I decided to hop in with the guys on the push-up challenge last week. This week a few ladies joined the group. The object is to do as many pushups in a row until you get to 100. My pushups look terrible right now but I gotta start from somewhere. Doing challenges like this helps me get in shape a lot faster and pushes me past my limitations!”

She Does Push-Ups

As you can see from the previous Instagram video, Parr likes to do push-ups to keep herself in shape. Push-ups have a lot of health benefits. The Cleveland Clinic states, “The basic push-up is a simple exercise — but it’s also simply one of the best things you can do for the muscles in your arms (triceps, especially), chest (pectorals or pecs) and shoulders (deltoids).”

She Does Hamstring Curls

Parr shared this video on Instagram of herself doing hamstring curls. She captioned it, “Let me be honest for a second, recovering from my 6th knee surgery (on the same knee) at my age and place in life isn’t easy! For those who don’t know, I had two knee surgeries last year (a partial reconstruction in November and an arthroscopic manipulation in March), and I was on crutches for about 11 months. Shortly after, I was diagnosed with Functional Movement Disorder (that basically means something is wrong with my nervous system)! That changed my entire life. As a mother and an active entrepreneur, not being able to do basic things weighed very heavy on me. My body changed a lot as well and I’m working to get it back. Some days, I don’t feel my best. Some days I’m discouraged. Some days I look around and see ppl able to do things I can’t do at the moment and it makes me sad. Some days my clothes just don’t fit like I want them to. Some days my knee doesn’t work the way I want it to. Some days I feel so much pain and I can’t even talk about it. Some days I feel alone in my thoughts and feel like no one understands what I’m going through. On no day do I give up though!”

She Works Hard

Parr makes sure to work hard when she exercises. She opened up about her fitness journey in the caption of this Instagram post. “Putting in some work before I put in some work!!! It feels really good to be jumping rope in Bermuda!! 🇧🇲🇧🇲🇧🇲I’ll be honest, working out is not as fun and easy for me anymore since being diagnosed with Functional Movement Disorder last year. Some days I wake up in so much pain. Some days I just can’t walk normally. Some days I’m too depressed to do anything! Then there are some days that no matter how I feel, I push through and work out anyway! This comeback I’m on is very different and very personal! I’m about 20 pounds over MY desired weight right now, and because of my situation, it’s taking me a little bit longer this time. One thing I know about situations is they can CHANGE!!!”

She Does Bicycles

Kaiser likes to do bicycles to keep herself in shape. She shared her tips for doing them correctly in this Instagram post. Kaiser captioned the post, “Are YOU doing bicycles with correct FORM?! I know this seems like a common, straightforward exercise, when in fact 90% of clients perform bicycles incorrectly and end up doing more harm than good to their core and lower back. Try these simple fixes to make your core workout safer, more effective, and more challenging 🚲💪🏼”

She Works Her Lower Body

Kaiser doesn’t skip leg day. She revealed in this Instagram video that she likes to do things like curtsy lunges and holds to work her lower body. Kaiser captioned the post, “Booty Booty BOOTY ‼️🍑 Try these 4 moves WHEREVER you are to get a quick burn in and HIT THAT booty from every angle🔥Whether you’re traveling or in a pinch, ALL you need is a towel or sweatshirt!”

She Eats Overnight Oats

Kaiser makes sure to eat healthy fats in her diet. She shared some of her favorites in this Instagram post. Kaiser captioned it, “🚨PSA: EAT GOOD FAT!! Many of us (myself included) grew up during the ‘fat-free’ craze which ingrained in us a fear of fat of any kind. You need healthy fats for your brain, skin, and heart health, blood sugar regulation (keeping you full longer), blood pressure, reducing inflammation, and gut health!! I start everyday now with either a tsp of olive oil or MCT oil before my coffee to help stave off the carb craving, boost my energy, and keep myself going all morning. Think: avocados, fish, nuts, seeds, olives, healthy oils! This is one of my favorite quick recipes that ALSO gives you a great dose of FIBER (95% of Americans are deficient) Healthy fats will also help your body absorb nutrients more efficiently, so always try to add a little fat with your dark leafy greens 😉”

She Loves Oats

Kaiser likes to eat overnight oats in the morning. She shared one of her favorite recipes in this Instagram video, captioning it, “Ever find yourself thinking ‘I don’t have time for breakfast?’ With busy mornings getting kids and dogs fed, I needed some easy healthy go-to meals to get us revved up and out the door on time! 😋 With 42% of your daily fiber and 20g of protein from a 3 minute 3 ingredient recipe that’s been my go to for years and is also kid approved! SAVE this post and let me know how it goes... 🫐🍓🍴Perfect for easing back into the school year! 📚🚌Note: substitute any protein of your choosing for the peptides or chia for the flax!”

She Loves Cardio

Kaiser likes to do dance cardio to keep herself in shape. She talked about why she loves it in the caption of this Instagram video. “Dance is POWER - for your mind AND body 💃😉 Whatever your fitness goal(s) may be- there are NUMEROUS benefits to doing dance-based workouts (both mentally & physically!!) In combining my love for dance with the science and functionality of fitness, I created a unique interval workout that I truly felt the fitness space was lacking. I want to prove exercise can feel good, and be something that can challenge/open your mind to new patterns of movement, bringing you a crazy high that you only feel after you truly accomplish/learn something NEW!!”
