Following her morning workout, Brooks likes to hit the sauna before grabbing her caffeine fix for the day.
"I like to relax in the sauna after a challenging workout. It's a great way to unwind, sweat out all the toxins, and get mentally ready for the day ahead," she tells Us.
Once she's done sweating it out, Brooks treats herself to a turmeric latte as a post-workout and post-stretch drink.
