Corrigan opened up about her wellness routine to Women Fitness. She says that stretching is a big part of her fitness, specifically yoga poses. “My top 5 stretches are downward dog, splits, backbends, toe touches, and any other easy yoga moves,” she says. “Recently I have been using the ALO Moves app to learn new stretches!” CenterFoundation.org reports that stretching has a lot of benefits. “Poor flexibility can lead to poor posture. This in turn can lead to dysfunctions within the kinetic chain. For instance, athletic activities requiring quick explosive movements demand a more pliable muscle/tendon unit to store and release the high amounts of energy required to perform at an optimal level. Because of this, an athlete who does not have pliable muscle/tendon units may become overwhelmed by the high energy levels these sports demand. As a result the athlete is prone to injury and strains in muscles and/or tendons.”
Corrigan shared some of her favorite healthy meals with Women Fitness. “Before a workout, I try to ensure I’m hydrated with plenty of water and electrolytes. I often consume ketones for an extra boost. After my workouts, I love to make a smoothie loaded with organic berries, almond butter, frozen acai, spinach, celery, cucumber, and a little protein or collagen. I’ve found that there is no single secret to a slim torso. For me, it comes from hard work and consistently eating healthy, while limiting processed foods as much as possible.”
Corrigan is all about self-love. One thing she has learned to do is not be hard on herself. Corrigan talked about this to Hers Magazine. “At the end of the day, if you’re being healthy, you know, that’s most important,” she says. “If you’re eating healthy and you’re working out, then you can’t be too hard on yourself. We are born into the bodies that we have, and we should love ourselves no matter what shape or size. And I think that’s been the hardest thing for me.”
Corrigan is all about wellness and mindfulness. She shared some of her favorite mindfulness pastimes to Women Fitness. “Every day, right when I wake up, I start with a large glass of water followed by a quick meditation. Next, I make a fully organic coffee that includes Chaga mushrooms, ashwagandha, and MCT coconut oil while I review my daily to-do list. Finally, I do a light workout, which includes stretching/yoga and a 30-minute jog before starting on my day!”
Corrigan opened up about her career in her Women Fitness interview. She says that she struggled at first, but still made sure to be determined. “Yes, it has been a challenging journey from the very beginning. When I first started, many agencies would not even sign me. They would make many excuses, saying that I was too short (at 5’8″) or that they had a girl that looked just like me—the lists went on. Despite these barricades, I was determined to succeed and never give up.”
