She Does Pilates
Franken did a 12 Days of Wellbeing series on Instagram. In this post, she shared some of her favorite Pilates exercises. Better Health reports that Pilates has a lot of benefits. “Pilates (or the Pilates method) is a series of exercises inspired by calisthenics, yoga and ballet. Pilates promotes mobility and strength of all the major muscle groups in the body in a balanced fashion, whilst also having a key focus on the deep core muscles. It improves posture, flexibility, strength, balance and body awareness.”
She Does Ab Workouts
Franken shared this Pilates workout that focuses on abs in this Instagram post. According to The Mayo Clinic, ab workouts are extremely important. “Strong core muscles make it easier to do many activities. When your core muscles are strong, it's easier to swing a golf club, get a glass from the top shelf and bend down to tie your shoes. Strong core muscles help athletes, such as runners. That's because weak core muscles can lead to more fatigue, less endurance and injuries. Weak core muscles can leave you more prone to poor posture, lower back pain and muscle injuries. Strengthening your core muscles may help back pain get better and lower the risk of falls.”
She Cooks
Franken makes sure to eat a healthy diet. One way she does so is by cooking. She shared this recipe for healthier cookies on Instagram. Franken captioned it, “Who doesn’t love a warm freshly baked cookie🎄🍪 Made with oats, almond butter, and a drizzle of maple syrup, it’s the perfect cozy treat. Packed with fiber and healthy fats—perfect for balancing out your cravings and it only takes minutes to throw together!
