Share the diet that you follow to remain healthy and physically fit? 5 foods you absolutely love. Two quick energy boosters post-workout.
Ashley Spencer:
I have a high protein diet so I eat eggs and chicken almost on a regular basis. I love blueberries, really sweet ones so those are always stocked in the fridge. I almost always have sweet potatoes as well. I eat those for breakfast in a hash with sweet onions, bacon, Italian seasonings with a fried egg on top. One thing I cannot live without is a great, brewed up coffee.
Post workout I usually go for two things: cashews and cheese. Those to me are the best snacks ever!
Namita Nayyar:
Having to train constantly in extreme climate conditions, how did you take care of your skin and hair?
Ashley Spencer:
I put everything in maintaining the health of my hair and skin, especially during the season when I am traveling. For my skin, I try to get facials normally; I exfoliate every 2 days after training. I do facemasks (my favorite being the Boscia Charcoal peel off masks and the Aveeno 60 sec in shower facial masks).
I drink plenty of water and I always eat blueberries which are really good for skin and hair. My hair gets deep conditioned once a week if it’s not in protective styles like braids or under a wig as well as keep my hair moisturized using As I Am, Shea Moisture, Mane Choice and Melanin Hair Care products (all my favorites).

Who has been your greatest motivator in your career? Motivation quote you live by.
Ashley Spencer:
The greatest motivator of my career is my nephews Kaden and Avery. They look up to me and I have to continue to be a role model and a loving aunt to them.
One motivational quote I live by is proverbs 4:12 which is tattooed on my foot . It reads “When you walk your steps will not be hampered, when you run you will not stumble”
