The pro track and field athlete on Team Canada, Robin Bone, is an excellent pole vaulter with a passion for health and fitness. “A little dancey dance for recovery days at the track,” she said on Instagram on a video of her being goofy, doing a little dance. Here’s what Bone does to stay looking and feeling her best.
1. She’s confident
On a video of Robin looking confident and strong, running on the track, she said on Instagram “feelin’ good and ready for fall training camp next week.” She knows the importance of having a positive mind set, in addition to working on building her physical strength.
2. She practices functional strength
On a video of her working out, doing various body movements, she gives followers a look into what she does to stay in shape. “Been spending this fall easing back into things and spending a lot of time on plyos and functional strength… body feels great and happy to be movin’🏃♀️,” she said on Instagram.
3. She pushes through
She’s grateful, even during tough times. “Didn’t have my best day on Friday. While disappointed, I am walking away from Trials with so much gratitude. To be healthy again on the runway is a blessing and to my family, friends, coaches and sponsors- thank you! I am eternally thankful and have so much love for each and every one of you who has been a part of this chapter! 🙏🏼❤️🇨🇦,” she said on Instagram.
4. She recognizes progress
She celebrates the progress during her training and workouts. “NEW PR!! 305LBS BABY!!!! Going into this season my goal was to hit 2.5 times my body weight on this explosive exercise… this was 2.54🤪🎉,” she said on a video on Instagram of her lifting weights.
5. She golfs
She has fun practicing other sports and finding ways to stay active. On an Instagram video of her golfing, she said “off-season golf powered by my new @ustmamiyagolf Recoil SmacWrap Shafts ⛳️ 🤗 #teamessx #ustmamiyagolf.” According to Better Health, “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.”
