training and fitness by Julie Ann Kulla

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!





Pre-Contest workout schedule:
Monday: (am) 45 min. cardio – (pm) Chest / Biceps / Abs
Tuesday: (am) 45 min. cardio – (pm) Back, 45 min. cardio
Wednesday: (am) 45 min. cardio – (pm) 45 min. cardio, Abs/ Calves
Thursday: (am) 45 min. cardio – (pm) Legs, 10 min cool down on bike
Friday: (am) 45 min. cardio – (pm) Shoulders / Triceps, 45 min. cardio
Saturday: (am) plyometric training – Abs/ Calves
Sunday: Repeat or cardio.
I will increase or decrease cardio as needed according to my physique.
