The Women’s Professional Lacrosse League is crushing it on Instagram with it’s #LiveLikeAPro series, highlighting the healthy habits and fun lifestyles of the best women’s lacrosse players in the world. Here are some highlights.

Taylor Cummings
No Joke 7s

Cummings works out twice a week with Team USA strength and conditioning coach Jay Dyer. She wakes up at 5:30 a.m. every Tuesday and Thursday, starts with a dynamic warmup and then often completes a set of “No Joke 7s” — seven exercises to loosen your hips (20 reps on each leg).

• Straight leg raise

•  Flexion

•  Extension

•  Flexion and Extension

•  Clockwise circles

•  Counter clockwise circles

•  Ride the bike

Amanda Johansen​
Go-To Smoothie

Smoothies are the perfect post-workout elixir. Just ask Brave midfielder Amanda Johansen, who shared this concoction that aids her in recovery. It’s hydrating, full of protein and even includes vegetables. The recipe:

•  Plant-based Vega Sport protein 

•  powder (vanilla)

•  Vital Proteins collagen peptides 

•  (good for hair, nails and skin)

•  Naked coconut water

•  Frozen cauliflower

•  Purely Elizabeth granola

•  Frozen blueberries and strawberries

•  Cinnamon (a dash)

Alice Mercer
The Exorcist Steps

Mercer takes “getting your steps in” to a new level. While in Washington, D.C., she visited the famed stone steps at Georgetown University on the corner of Prospect and 36th — the spot where fictional Father Damien Karras plunged to his death in “The Exorcist.” There are 75 of them, by the way.

Meg Douty
Self-Myofascial Release

We featured Douty, a defender for the WPLL’s Command and U.S. national team, in our November 2017 “Gym Rats” edition. And well, she fits the label perfectly. Following Douty on Instagram (@megdouty) is like hiring your own personal trainer. For the WPLL series, she posted a video about how she gets the knots out of her muscles both pre- and post-workout. Self-myofascial release helps to increase circulation to your body by getting oxygen and other nutrients to aid with soreness and improve muscle and tissue recovery. Three tools she recommends:

•  Foam roller

•  Rolling stick

•  Lacrosse ball
