Flowers has an impressive core. Naturally, she does a lot of core workouts to keep herself in shape. In her Instagram video, she is seen doing things like leg drops and mountain climbers. The Mayo Clinic states that core workouts are extremely important. “Your core is the central part of your body. It includes your pelvis, lower back, hips and stomach. The stomach muscles sometimes are called abs. Core exercises train the muscles in your core to work in harmony. This leads to better balance and steadiness, also called stability. Stability is important whether you're on the playing field or doing regular activities.”
She Does Deadlifts

Flowers is seen doing deadlifts with hand dumbbells in the previous Instagram video. According to ACE Fitness, deadlifts have a lot of benefits. “One significant benefit of the RDL is that it teaches clients how to lift from the hips instead of using the lower back. The base move of the RDL is the standing hip hinge, which is an important component of learning how to squat correctly.”
She Plays Tennis
Flowers likes to play tennis to keep herself in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself on the court. The Columbia Association states that tennis has a lot of benefits. “Tennis includes short bursts of activity, it offers the same conditioning benefits of interval training, which has an unparalleled positive effect on the heart and lungs, slashing your risk of heart disease by 56% (!). Just an hour of play burns between 400 to 600 calories.”
