“I just think the whole mindset of Pilates is huge. Pilates 101 is just to use your core in the right way. A lot of us don't use every little detailed muscle in our core. We all use the big muscles in our body and don't focus on the little ones. That mindset and awareness is huge. I take that with me wherever I go.” ThinkingWayLittlesWholeUseBodyBigsFocusAwarenessHugeMindsetCoreMusclesRight WayPilates Author:Kerri Walsh
“Well there's only one way to prepare for playing beach volleyball, and that's by getting in the sand.

“I do a program called Fast Twitch twice a week, basically my lifting and strength training, I'm working with a spine specialist, which has been a new addition for me since my surgery to really get some great support for my shoulder, and I really love the way my body feels. It takes the pressure off my lower back and kind of just shares duties, really, with my body.” WayFeelsKindHas BeensBodySupportWeekShareDutyTrainingProgramPressureShouldersSurgeryLiftingSpineSpecialistsStrength Training Author:Kerri Walsh
“I want to be efficient and effective in everything I do. I start every day with a protein shake, with my vanilla Almond Breeze, and my kids start their day the same way as well. [Nutrition] is a huge piece of the puzzle. It's not just about working hard and being physical. It's about being smart and mindful of what's going in and out of our bodies. And also taking the time to enjoy things, and to appreciate the process.” WayWantWellsHardBodyKidsProcessEnjoyPiecesHugeSmartAppreciateShakesEfficientNutritionPuzzlesBreezeProteinBeing SmartVanillaAlmonds Author:Kerri Walsh
“I think educating myself has been huge. I feel like the way it's presented in the media is that if you got to Brazil you're flipping a coin on your health. I don't think it has to be that way. If I were wanting to have a baby right after the Olympics I would take precautions, and then when the Olympics were over I would get tested to make sure I didn't have the virus in me, and then I'd go for it.” IfsThinkingWayFeelsHas BeensMediaHugeBabyOlympicsCoinsTestedVirusesBrazilPrecautionFlipping A Coin Author:Kerri Walsh
