Penny Lane is one of the winners of Sports Illustrated Swimsuit’s yearly contest: the SI Swim Search, for 2023. From the looks of a video she posted on Instagram in July, Lane is a great fit. In it, she is seen modeling in the SI Swim fashion show. She captioned the post, “Still pinching myself for waking down the @si_swimsuit runway! What a beautiful experience filled with so much positivity. Thank you Sports illustrated @theswimfluencenetwork for making this a reality.” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Penny Lane stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.
1. She Meditates
Lane shared some of her favorite wellness practices in this Instagram post. One thing she likes to do is meditate. The Mayo Clinic states that meditation has a lot of benefits. “Meditation can give you a sense of calm, peace and balance that can benefit both your emotional well-being and your overall health. You can also use it to relax and cope with stress by refocusing your attention on something calming. Meditation can help you learn to stay centered and keep inner peace.”
2. She Swims
Lane loves to swim to stay in shape. She shares a lot of posts on Instagram of herself in the water. Lane shared this set of photos of herself snorkeling in the Palm Heights Grand Cayman. She captioned the post, “This was such an arm pinching moment. We were snorkelling around the coral Reef and this beautiful turtle came out of nowhere and swam with us.”
3. She Does Full-Body Workouts
Lane makes sure to workout on a regular basis. One thing she likes to do is do full-body workouts. She shared some of her favorite exercises in this video she posted on Instagram. In it, Lane is seen hanging from a bar pedaling her legs, leaning forward and back, using battle ropes, and doing arm and leg raises on a machine. She captioned the post, “Full body burn.” Doing full-body workouts ensures that your entire body is challenged.
4. She Paddleboards
Swimming isn’t the only thing Lane likes to do by the water. She also likes to go paddleboarding. Lane shared these photos on Instagram of herself paddleboarding in the Palm Heights Grand Cayman. Paddleboarding can help you build core muscles. The Mayo Clinic states that having a strong core is 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. In fact, most sports and other physical activities depend on stable core muscles.”
5. She Eats Locally Sourced Food
In her wellness Instagram post, Lane mentions that she eats locally sourced foods. According to Virtua Health, local foods have a lot of benefits. “The main health benefit of locally grown food is that it’s fresher. Fruits and vegetables begin to lose their nutrients within 24 hours of being picked, so fresher produce is more nutritious. In addition, locally grown food is picked at its peak ripeness, when it’s most dense with nutrients.”
