Benefits include improved longevity, decreased risk of developing heart disease or suffering a stroke, good mental health, and improved strength and balance.

3. She Dances

McKenzie is a dancer. “From racing, to ballet, and golf! Ever since I was young, I’ve loved doing things that challenge me to become better in that sport or just life in general 💪🏼. Golf definitely challenges me every day and it gives me motivation both on and off the course!” she captioned a post.

4. She Maintains a “Healthy Lifestyle

“Setting goals and maintaining a healthy lifestyle through proper eating, fitness, and positive habits inspire me every day to continue working hard at all of life's endeavors,” are what inspires McKenzie, she revealed in her modeling profile.

5. She Believes Beauty Comes From Withing

There's something so beautiful about sharing one's intelligence, spreading positive energy, being genuine to yourself and others, and motivating those to become the best versions of themselves and chase their aspirations,” McKenzie says in her modeling profile about her definition of beauty.

Bri Teresi is best known for being one of golf’s top influencers. She is also a model, who’s worked with the brand Guess. Teresi just shared a stunning new set of photos on Instagram. In them, she sat in a river in a multicolored swimsuit. She captioned the post, “All good things.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Bri Teresi stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Golfs

Naturally, golf is the main way Teresi stays in shape. Golf has a lot of health benefits. Better Health states, “Golf can be good for your health and your heart. Walking an average course for a round of golf can be between five to seven kilometres. If you walk 18 holes three to five times a week, you’ll get an optimal amount of endurance exercise for your heart. If you pull your clubs or carry them, you’ll burn even more calories each round and benefit even more.”

2. She Takes Chances

Teresi opened up about her decision to become a golf influencer to The Sun. She says that she wants to make changes and take risks. “Life is crazy, you really never know what opportunities will come. I’m very thankful I said yes to that golf photoshoot a few years ago. I’m a very open-minded person and this has certainly allowed me to expand my business. “

3. She Wants To Inspire Others

Teresi tells The Sun that she wants to inspire other women. “Coming from the modeling world, I’ve always felt empowered with being strong and sexy, so it was easy for me to bring a bit of that energy to the world of golf," she said. "I think female golf influencers have definitely expanded the game for the better. I love that I have encouraged more young women to take up golf and feel empowered."

4. She Bikes

Teresi does a lot of outdoor workouts to keep herself in shape. One thing she likes to do is bike. She shared this photo on Instagram of herself biking. Better Health states that biking has a lot of benefits. “Cycling increases stamina, strength and aerobic fitness. Cycling can be done at very low intensity to begin with, if recovering from injury or illness, but can be built up to a demanding physical workout.”

5. She Fishes

Another outdoor workout Teresi enjoys doing is going fishing. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself fishing. Teresi shared these photos of herself and a friend going fishing, and posing with their catch. She captioned the post, “Such a great time today fishing with @life__of_ty 🌊 🦈 If you’re in south Florida and wanna go deep sea fishing hit @life__of_ty up.”

Paige Spiranac has upgraded. “Very exciting news I’m finally able to share! After lots of hard work I’m happy to announce I’ve joined Passes.com!,” the former All-Mountain West Conference golfer announced, in a photo accompanying images of her in workout gear. ”As a lot of you know I had my own subscription site OnlyPaige but wanted to add in more features to enhance the user experience and found that Passes had everything I wanted and more. It’s bigger and better than anything I’ve done before! You have access to never before seen pictures and videos, can speak with me directly in DMs, live streaming anytime/anywhere, and so much more! …Come chat with me 🥰.” (Here’s the link to it.) How does she stay so fit? Here’s how.

1. This is How She Got Into Golf

“It was kind of an interesting story,” she told WKYC. “I don't come from a big golf family, and that's how most kids get into it because their parents are obsessed with it. And I was actually a competitive gymnast first and had a couple really bad injuries. And so I was looking for a sport that I'd be good at because again—sports was just such a big part of our family dynamic—and they always said, you need to focus in on something that you want to do. And sports was always at the forefront. And so after gymnastics I was like, what could I be good at? We brought my aunt out, she put me through some drills and tennis for a bootcamp of two days and I was like, I can't do this. It's too much running after gymnastics. And my dad was like, let's just go out and hit some golf balls on the range. And I fell in love with it instantly and have never looked back.”

2. She Went Pro But Found a New Career

She “had a really good junior golf career, played in college, and then I played one year professionally. And while I was doing that, I kind of blew up on social media, just kind of happened. And so I was doing both and I really couldn't do both. And so I finally decided I'm going to focus on social media and not play golf professionally anymore, which was now looking back the best decision I could have made,” she told WKYC.

3. She Found Her Passion For Competitive Golf Again

“I played junior golf, college golf and a year professionally. After that stretch I mentally couldn’t handle playing golf and especially keeping score,” she Tweeted this year. “I equated my score to my self worth. I know it sounds silly but competitive golf really beat me up emotionally. But I’ve found that passion again! I’ve started tracking my scores and grinding on my game. I’ll keep you posted here on my journey! This round at Austin CC I shot a 73. Such a fun track!”

4. Here is the Origin of Her Outfits

"I was a gymnast before I switched into golf," she told Sports Illustrated. "I was so comfortable wearing spandex and very little of it because that's just what you wear when you're wearing a leotard and you're competing. "When I switched into golf, we were struggling a little bit financially, and so I didn't have the luxury to go out and buy a whole new golf-appropriate wardrobe. And so, I wore what was in my closet, which was workout clothes. That's just how I learned to play the game."

5. Gymnastics vs. Golf

Spiranac was a champion gymnast before she played golf. “Gymnastics prepares you really well for something like golf,” she told Golf Digest. “I was doing it for seven hours a day, and I really learned body awareness and mental toughness. I just transferred those lessons and habits to golf. Golf is harder than gymnastics. You know how I know that? I could do a double backflip like it was nothing. But I can easily miss a three-footer.”

6. She’s a Social Media Genius

Spiranac found that was is “really well suited for social media because when I first started doing this, no one was really utilizing social media in the golf space,” she told WKYC. “And so I was the first to do this and it was out of necessity. I needed clubs, I need balls, I needed a place to practice. And so I was using my platform to be able to market and advertise for these companies so I could just get anything free. At the moment, I was really struggling financially and after that it just kept growing and it was like a snowball and I kept building and have a really great team around me. It's been interesting because no one has done this before. So we are paving this path and it's really cool to see all of these golf influencers come up behind me and have this blueprint that we just kind of built and came up with. And so it's been an amazing eight years of doing this.”

7. Her Favorite Golfer

Her favorite golfer? “I’m unfortunately not playing as much, but everyone has to say Tiger Woods,” she told Sports Illustrated. “We wouldn't be where we are without Tiger. He is so fun to watch the shots that he hits. And again, just his passion and competitiveness is something that we've never seen before. And I would say now current players, there are so many really amazing players, it's hard to pick, but I love Max Homa. I love how he incorporates social media into his job because most professional athletes are a little bit nervous to get all in on social media and he was one of the first to really do it in golf and he has a massive loyal fan base and playing some great golf. And so I love watching what he's doing.”

8. Self-Confidence

Spiranac is constantly trying to prove herself. “I don’t think a lot of people take me seriously and that’s what hurts the most because I’m grinding every single day to be better,” he told Colorado AvidGolfer. “I’m not overconfident, but my mentality is that I want to prove myself—and I think that’s more powerful. If I didn’t have that mentality, I probably would have quit by now.”

9. Happy Introvert

Spiranac is not interested in a party lifestyle. “I'm introverted, and all my friends make fun of me because all I do is work out and play golf,” she told Golf Digest. “I'm a grandma: stay in most nights and asleep by 9:30. One more thing about how I dress: Most guys have no idea how freaking comfortable yoga pants are.”

10. Lighten Up

Spiranac wants people to lighten up when it comes to golf. “I feel like when I’m on the golf course I respect the game,” she told Colorado AvidGolfer. “I think that’s what you need to preserve with golf, the sportsmanship. It’s not what I wear. It’s not the fact that I’m having fun—I mean, seeing me have fun on the golf course, is that so wrong? I think people need to have more fun, and that’s why golf is struggling right now. The younger generation wants to go out on the course and have fun, but they’re criticized for not wearing nice pants and a polo.”

11. She Considers Herself an Athlete

As for why she wears what she wants to: “I consider myself an athlete,” she told Sports Illustrated. “I consider people who play golf, which is a hot take to some athletes who play golf: Why don't we dress like athletes? They're out there, poor Lucas Glover and he's the unbreathable pants sweating like crazy. And I'm like, let's dress like athletes. And so that was always my mindset when I got into golf and it really rubbed people the wrong way, which is shocking. Shocking. But I mean, they'll have really intense discussions over if they should wear shorts or pants or a blade collar, a real collar. And I'm out here just in tank tops and spandex and people are like, what are you doing? But I love it. And I think we're starting to see that change and fashion is such a big part of growing the game and it's moving in the right direction.”

Chantel Jeffries works hard and plays hard, living her best life on vacation at the beach. The DJ shared a snap of herself posing on the sand in a red bikini, with beach umbrellas and blue skies in the background. Jeffries is relaxing after performing a set poolside at Strawberry Moon in Miami Beach, making this a busy summer for the star. So how does she have the energy? Here are 5 ways Jeffries prioritizes her health and wellness, and stays on the move.

1. No To Dairy, Yes To Water and Vitamins

Jeffries avoids dairy and stays hydrated. “For me beauty starts being healthy inside out, I think it’s really important for me to drink a lot of water, exercise to have healthier skin,” she says. “For my skin care I use CLEARGEN, it keeps my skin glowing. For my beauty products, obviously Chantelle XO eyebrows is very important, that is the main focus of my face. I also really like eyelash extensions! I mostly make sure to drink a lot of water, I have to stay away from dairy because it makes me breakout. I take supplements – a lot of vitamins!”

2. Cardio and Weights

Jeffries does cardio and weights whenever she can to maintain her physique. “I try to work out almost every day when I’m in town,” she says. “When I’m traveling, it’s kind of hard. I mostly do cardio and lift weights and work at Equinox – I like it there because I usually sweat in a steam room post workout. I put coconut oil on my hair quite a bit – my hair is usually really dry so I have to make sure to put a lot of moisture on it.”

3. She Plays Golf

Jeffries loves to play golf when she gets the opportunity. “We know that the moderate physical activity that golf provides increases life expectancy, has mental health benefits, and can help prevent and treat more than 40 major chronic diseases such as heart attacks, stroke, diabetes, breast and colon cancer,” says Dr Andrew Murray from the University of Edinburgh. “Evidence suggests golfers live longer than non-golfers, enjoying improvements in cholesterol levels, body composition, wellness, self-esteem and self-worth. Given that the sport can be played by the very young to the very old, this demonstrates a wide variety of health benefits for people of all ages.”

4. Adventurous Spirit

Jeffries, who has a background in modeling, is passionate about trying new things. “I would describe myself as energetic and adventurous,” she says. “I love trying new things. Keeping life interesting is what it's all about. There aren’t too many things I won’t try at least once. Oh, and I love to make people laugh. Being 5’6” I never really thought of being a model.”

5. Her Beauty Tricks

Jeffries’ beauty tricks are all about giving the illusion of a natural look. “I’ve learned so many tricks, but if you’re on the go and you’re a little greasy, you can always grab those toilet seat covers and use them to blot your skin,” she says. “That comes in handy a lot. Hair spray on a spoolie brush or toothbrush works really well too. And one of my favorite looks is faux freckles, because it makes you look like you’re wearing less makeup. And I love applying your makeup setting spray before you highlight, because it makes the highlighter really show. And I do that before my mascara, so it doesn’t make my mascara run.”
