JulieAnn Kulla here, talking in this blog about good training habits.
Tips for a good workout:
Training
My
workout plans consists of weight training 5 days a week and cardio 3-4 day
off-season and 6-7 days pre-contest. When training, I find my body responds
better to heavy weight training. Every 3-4 weeks I also add eccentric training.
However, when I’m a month out from a competition then I incorporate light
weights with supersets and drop sets.
I
train 2 days on, one day off and then repeat. This helps me from getting burned
out and gives me plenty of rest. On my days off from lifting, I do 45 mins. to
an hour of cardio, with abs, calves, and stretching. I also find that
plyometric training really helps to lean out my legs and is also a great
challenge!
