Jordyn Huitema is on the soccer field – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the stunning athlete shows off her beautiful body in a two-piece uniform, driving her followers wild. “You are stunning beautiful 😍,” commented one. “Always beautiful and magnificent 😍❤️,” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
1. Running
As a soccer player Jordyn spends a good amount of time running up and down the field. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.
2. Strength Training
Jordyn hits the gym at night for strength training exercises. She lifts weights, uses Bosu balls, and does bodyweight workouts. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:
- Develop strong bones
- Manage your weight
- Enhance your quality of life
- Manage chronic conditions
- Sharpen your thinking skills
3. Hiking
While in Portugal, Jordyn went hiking. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:
- Building stronger muscles and bones
- Improving your sense of balance
- Improving your heart health
- Decreasing the risk of certain respiratory problems
4. Protein
Jordyn makes sure to get enough protein. She enjoys a strawberry whey protein smoothie daily, which she calls a “recovery strategy” as she drinks it after a hard workout, she explains in a YouTube video. According to clinical trials, consuming more protein than the recommended dietary allowance not only reduces body weight (BW), but also enhances body composition by decreasing fat mass while preserving fat-free mass (FFM) in both low-calorie and standard-calorie diets.
5. Soccer
Jordyn has been playing soccer since she was a kid. Mercedes Carnethon, MD, told the American Heart Association that soccer is a great workout for many reasons. “It is a game of continuous running and with very little stopping,” said Carnethon, an associate professor of preventive medicine at Northwestern University in Chicago. “It also has anaerobic elements – that high intensity where you’re sprinting and then resting – you’re constantly moving.” Sports researcher Peter Krustrup, who has spent more than 15 years studying the health benefits of soccer, added that recreational-level play and soccer-related exercise drills can help reduce cholesterol and blood pressure. Soccer also can help shift body composition by decreasing fat and increasing lean muscle.
