Women's Basketball Player Savannah Tucker Turns Up the Heat in Stunning "Morning Files" Photo

Savannah Tucker is steaming up the shoreline – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the Long Beach State basketball star flaunts her amazing figure in a two-piece bathing suit while posing on the beach. "Morning files🌞," she captioned the set of Instagram snaps. "Bodyyy ody," commented one of her followers. "😍 so prettyyyy," added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Savannah's main form of fitness is basketball and she has been shooting hoops for years. "Basketball promotes speed, agility, strength, power and endurance. It [has] also been shown to increase flexibility and motor coordination. As a result, basketball is uniquely oriented to improve fundamental motor skills that are shown to be beneficial in promoting general health," Koco Eaton, M.D., orthopedic surgeon, founder of Eaton Orthopaedics and a former basketball player, tells Nike.

To keep her body ready for the court, Savannah strength trains. Why should you consider lifting weights? The Mayo Clinic explains that strength and weight training helps reduce body fat, preserves and increases lean muscle mass, and burns 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

Savannah fuels her body with healthy food so she can perform on the court. However, she does indulge in a cheat meal every once in a while. One of her favorite meals? A cheeseburger with all the fixings.

Savannah prioritizes hydration. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.

Savannah spends a lot of time walking on the beach in Southern California where she goes to college. How many steps should you aim for? A 2018 study published in the journal Obesity found a link between walking 10,000 steps a day and weight loss and weight management. Other studies published by the Journal of American Medical Association (JAMA) in JAMA Neurology and in JAMA Internal Medicine also linked walking 10,000 steps a day to less dementia and less cardiovascular disease overall, with less heart disease, less heart failure and fewer strokes.
