Ho shared one of her favorite workouts in an interview with ESPN. “I don't do as much stuff in the gym or with a personal trainer anymore. My favorite training over the last two years is a jiujitsu workout called Ginastica Natural -- ‘natural gymnastics.’ It's all bodywork, and it's all about hip mobility and glutes and being more adaptive to falling or landing weird -- perfect for surfers.”

2. She Does Breathwork

Ho tells ESPN that a big part of her wellness routine and surfing process is breathwork. “A huge part of Ginastica Natural is breathing. It's one of the biggest things I've learned through this new training. It's all about focusing on the control of your exhale instead of the inhale -- because you will always naturally inhale. After a wave, it helps with my paddles back out. When you're in the proper breath, your paddling will be in good form. The breath controls so much of the mind, so if your breath is at ease, your mind is at ease. It's become natural for me now.”

3. She Does Functional Training

Ho shared some of her wellness secrets with Thorne. “I try to start each day with some functional movements,” she says. “Which are perfect because they are a nice stretch and a good way to turn on your muscles for the day. Most of my workouts are considered functional training, usually nothing more than 30-pound kettle bells and a lot of focus on core strength, speed, agility, and flexibility.”

4. She Eats Healthy

Ho makes sure to eat a healthy diet. She talked about her secrets for doing so in her Thorne interview. “Because we travel so much, options per country always change. If I’m surfing right away when I wake up, then breakfast is usually pretty light – I love fruit and it’s usually always available in the tropical places I’m in. I don’t eat much red meat – simply by choice so I try to make sure I get the nutrients I might lack from avoiding certain foods.”

5. She Takes Supplements

Ho revealed to Thorne that she takes a lot of supplements. “I’ve learned what supplements help my energy and focus, my hydration levels, and my muscle replenishment. Truly the full package. When taking supplements, it’s so easy to not know everything you’re ingesting, and Thorne is the highest quality – for everything. I love knowing that. Their quality and wide range of products definitely helped my decision on trusting Thorne.”
