Nancy Isime is ready to exercise – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the Nigerian actress and model shows off her amazing body and endurance during a sweat session. “Okay, but can you Sprint at 20MPH and make it look easy?🤨My sprinting game keeps getting tighter, and I’m loving it!🥰By the way, this month makes it 6years since I made Fitness my lifestyle and I wouldn’t change anything about this Journey❤️Forever to Go,” she captioned the post. How does the star approach health and fitness? Here is everything you need to know about her routine.
As can be evidenced in her latest post, Nancy enjoys running. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.
In the video, Nancy makes sure to stretch prior to pounding the pavement. “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints,” says Harvard Health. “Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”
Nancy also chugs water during her workout session. 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.
Nancy spends a lot of time at the gym weight and strength training. “Here’s your sign to work on your back/upper body at the gym today,” she captioned a post from one of her workouts. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn 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
In the same video, Nancy puts on her boxing gloves and puts on a fight. Harvard Health maintains that boxing is a great way to build strength, improve balance, posture, hand-eye coordination, boost mood and endurance, and helps increase alertness.
