Shannon has another favorite exercise, boxing, a great aerobic exercise, per Harvard Health. “Aerobic exercise gets your heart pumping and helps lower the risk of high blood pressure, heart disease, stroke, and diabetes. It can strengthen bones and muscles, burn more calories, and lift mood. Aerobics can also boost your endurance, which helps you climb a flight of stairs or walk farther,” they explain.
3. Drink Matcha Tea

Shannon advocates drinking Matcha Turmeric.”One of the reasons to become fond of matcha tea is its anti-inflammatory and antiseptic power, which is reflected in the skin, making it appear smoother and more luminous,” she explained in an Instagram post. “Matcha is a powdered green tea, famous in the world for its multiple health benefits.” Sometimes she will drink it with water and others, add it to her smoothies.
4. Maintain an Active Lifestyle
Shannon’s lifestyle is incredibly active. Even when she isn’t officially exercising at the gym, she burns calories in other ways, like walking, paddle tennis, basketball, and swimming.
5. Do Yoga

Shannon is also an advocate of yoga, which helps keep her body fit and her mind clear. “Yoga has many styles, forms and intensities. Hatha yoga, in particular, may be a good choice for stress management. Hatha is one of the most common styles of yoga, and beginners may like its slower pace and easier movements. But most people can benefit from any style of yoga — it's all about your personal preferences,” explains the Mayo Clinic.
