Latto is fearless about diving off boats and swimming. “Swimming, like all exercise, releases endorphins in your brain,” says Dr Samantha Wild. “These are the hormones that make you feel good. They help to increase positivity and bring about a sense of wellbeing and happiness. Some research has shown that swimming may help to treat stress. For example, a few studies in rats have found that swimming can help to promote the growth of new brain cells in parts of the brain that break down during chronic (long-term) stress.”

2. She’s a Dancer

As a performer, dancing is an important aspect of Latto’s life. “Endorphins are bonding chemicals, so that rush helps you connect with those around you,” says Kelly McGonigal, PhD. “Dancing with others also creates what psychologists term ‘we agency,’ which is the sensation that you’re all one impressive entity. We each naturally absorb the energy and confidence of the whole group, which leads to feeling less lonely and more empowered.”

3. Resistance Band Training

Letto uses resistance band training to maintain her glutes. "Strong gluteals are important for proper pelvic alignment, propulsion during walking and running, and even standing on one leg,” says Amy Koch, MPT, COMT. “Gluteals also help support the lower back during lifting, and help prevent knee injuries."

4. She Hits the Treadmill

Latto likes to get a treadmill workout in before work. “I’ll probably wake up: for me, early is 11 AM,” she says. “That’s early baby, that’s early. So I’ll try to wake up a little bit before then, hit the treadmill, do a light workout, and go to the shoot. By the end of the shoot, like last night I left set at midnight. So I be trying to go home, lay with my man for a little bit. Dang! Taking all my time [laughs]. I try to have a little bit of me time before I go to sleep and have to wake up early and work.”

5. She Gives Back

Latto has a nonprofit to help people in need. “I have my foundation, she’s a baby,” she says. “She’s still growing, but Win Some Give Some is my little nonprofit. I had my first event last December and it was in Clayton County where I’m from. We had a Christmas giveaway, I was there physically. Pulled up and blessed the city.”

1. She Embraces Her Body

2. She No Longer Takes “Before & After” Photos

One thing Otis is doing to help herself stay confident is not taking “before and after” photos for social media, especially after having her two kids. She revealed her explanations for doing this in this reel. “I'm never taking a degrading "before" pic again. It's just not for me anymore. After having my first rainbow baby, my goal was to fit into my pre-pregnancy clothes asap. It was never about health. It's taken me decades to learn that I'm more than my pant size & the number on the scale doesn't define me. Halle-freakin-lujah.

3. She Went On A Cleanse

Otis revealed in this reel that she was about to make a lot of changes to her diet and lifestyle. “Today I am cutting out gluten, dairy, alcohol, and extra sugars bc my skin has been so red and dry,” she explained. “It's like my body has been screaming at me to take better care of it. I've got that eczema on my eyelids, dandruff and itchy scalp, and just ya know, no energy & always feeling physically & mentally drained.”

4. She Worked Out While She Was Pregnant

Otis made sure to get workouts in while she was pregnant. On her website, she explained her reason for doing so. “I am committed to staying strong and healthy for me and my rainbow baby. I know that the first half of my pregnancy was a struggle, but I’m getting back on track (and writing this blog/putting it out into the world is my way of holding myself accountable)!”

5. She Opened Up About Her Struggles

In 2019, a controversial “Heartbeat Bill” was passed in some states, which would limit access to abortions, with Alabama banning them completely. When this happened, Otis wrote a guest piece for People about her own abortion, wanting to let others know they weren’t alone, and to reduce the stigma. “I know I’m going to get backlash for opening up about my past. Like I said, my abortions still torment me and I hate that I had to have them. However, am I thankful? Of course. I wouldn’t be able to be a good mother to my daughter right now or have been able to be a good parent to my siblings back then. The cycle continues because there’s not enough education about sex and birth control, and not enough support. There’s not enough constructive discussion about abortion. It sucks. It really sucks. But the truth of the matter is it is a necessary option.”
