Let’s talk about a woman who can do it all—Joanna Gaines! The former Fixer Upper star and mom of five showed her fans that even though she might not be an Olympic gymnast, she’s got plenty of heart and humor. In a recent Instagram video, the 40-year-old decided to show off her flexibility by attempting a back walkover after watching one of her daughters—or maybe even both of them—nail two perfect flips in a gymnastics gym. Spoiler alert: It didn’t go quite as planned. Instead of sticking the landing, Joanna ended up flat on her face. But here's the best part? She didn’t miss a beat before bursting into laughter at herself. Now that’s what I call grace under pressure!
When you first watch the video, it seems like Joanna is all set for a flawless back walkover. She starts strong, throwing her hands up in the air and trying to find her balance before flipping backward. But as soon as she leans over and plants her hands on the ground, things take a turn for the worse—or should we say, hilarious. She loses her balance and tumbles onto the mat. If anyone else had done this, they might’ve been embarrassed, but not Joanna. She just rolls with it, laughing like a pro. Check out the adorable clip below!

In the caption of the video, Joanna summed it up perfectly: “When you think you still got it … but you don’t.” While we may not see her competing in the 2024 Summer Olympics anytime soon, she’s definitely keeping herself in tip-top shape through healthy eating habits. And let’s be honest, she looks amazing while doing it!
How Joanna Stays Fit and Healthy
Joanna isn’t just about flipping and laughing at herself; she’s also serious about maintaining a healthy lifestyle. One of her secrets? Prepping meals ahead of time. “The hardest part [of] eating healthy is the prep work,” she admitted in a previous Instagram post. “I like to set aside thirty minutes at the beginning of the week to clean and chop my veggies and fruits.” Talk about efficiency!
But what about those picky eaters in her household? Joanna has five kids, so feeding them healthy food isn’t always easy. She shared her trick for getting them to enjoy their veggies: roasting them in the oven. “My kids aren’t big fans of raw or steamed veggies, but they love the taste and texture of vegetables when I oven roast them,” she revealed. Genius move, Joanna!

Here’s her foolproof method for roasting veggies: “Line your pan with foil and drizzle your veggies with olive oil (I like to stir around to make sure it’s all coated), then sprinkle with sea salt and fresh ground pepper,” she explained. “Bake at 425 degrees for 20-25 minutes.” And if you’re looking for a little sweetness in your life, Joanna suggests adding sweet potatoes to the mix. “They curb my sweet tooth,” she says. Plus, she loves making oven-roasted kale chips. “#eatgoodfeelgood ❤️,” she adds.
