My Training

Without giving away to much of my trainers secrets to stage success I thought I would briefly run through the training I’ve been doing for the past couple of weeks

Cardio- 1 hr Power walk daily- NO RUNNING!  Fitness competitors tend to lean towards the “no running rule” Running is known to eat away at the muscles you’ve worked so hard to gain. Running takes allot of energy for no real gains, except for cardiovascular gains which you can still get with power walking.

Step ups / stair climber- Those of you who know me, know I carry allot of junk in the trunk ha-ha... I’ve been called j-lo, ghetto booty, Kim Kardashian etc!!  So extra step ups daily or 15 mins on the stair climber definitely help target my slowly shrinking be-hind!!!

Abz and Bar bell twists- Bar bell twists are awesome for the obliques and help to shrink the waist line. I try to do over 400 twists daily.

Weight training- I do resistance training 4 days a week. I do a split style program using both isolated and compound exercises to target each muscle group.

Day 1 – Chest and bis

Day 2 – shoulders and hamstrings

Day 3 – back

Day 4 – Quads and tris

Yoga / body balance- I do at least one class a week to stretch my over worked body and to wind down after a hard week of training. Keep away from bikram yoga though, too much dehydration for the muscles!!
