higher and higher goals. Women have been invoved in every sport once
thought impossible. Check out the top 10 most popular female athletes
for the year 2015 interviewed by Women Fitness Team.
Danica Patrick: An Unbelievable Saga of A Women
Car Racer. Forbes has rated her as most highly paid athlete. She takes a
high-protein diet with plenty of complex
carbs. She
starts every morning with a three-egg white omelette and a bowl of homemade
oatmeal with cinnamon, flax meal, brown sugar, and a scoop of peanut butter on
the side. For lunch, she prefers open-face turkey sandwiches with lettuce,
tomato, mustard, and sometimes a slice of cheese. She said "I get hungry every
three hours, so I also like to munch on an apple or whole-wheat toast with
peanut butter," Patrick says. "I like my food to be tasty. Regarding fitness,
during race season, she runs for an hour, then concentrates on
upper body exercises that strengthen her shoulders, forearms, and back �
moves essential for handling her 1,500-lb. vehicle. To stay strong but in shape
during the off-season, she works out with a trainer. But she doesn't run herself
into the ground, either: "I skip days here and there and don't beat myself up
for it," she says.
Ana Ivanovic: While talking to WF president she states "I love to
compete. I fell in love with the game of tennis at a very young age, and I still
love it the same way I did when I was a kid." Talking on fitness "I�ve always
thought it is important to have a lot of variety in your training, to keep
things interesting. Although I am very motivated by my love of competing, of
course there are some days when training might be more difficult than usual, but
if you�re doing plenty of different and new activities it�s easier. Lately I�ve
been doing some weights work in the gym, to improve my
strength. That hasn�t been easy, because weights are not so much fun, but I
just focused on the ultimate goal of improving my tennis, and that helped
motivate me through. For club tennis players I would recommend interval training
� sprints, either outdoors or on the treadmill. This will quickly improve your
aerobic ability,
and your stamina in matches. As tennis players we do a lot of footwork drills,
because movement is such a big part of the game these days. One of the simple
drills that anyone can do is to put a rope ladder on the floor and practice
moving inside and around it, without touching the rope." Her diet is basically
Gluten-free, and based on her training, "the most important thing is to make
sure you are getting enough energy and nutrients from your food, and also
supplements, to support your training."
Michelle Jenneke or the�Dancing Hurdler�: She credit her success
to the support, development and encouragement from others and the enjoyment that
she gains from her sport. Speaking about her training, she states "My training
schedule consists of two or three track training sessions a week and two
strength and conditioning sessions at the gym each week. Besides that, most of
my exercise is non specific and more for enjoyment than for training purposes. I
love kicking a ball around or playing Frisbee or touch footy etc. with friends."
On diet, she says "I don�t have a special diet, my diet changes depending on
what phase of the Athletics season we are in. During the off season, I like to
be a little heavier as it gives me the advantage of training with weight on, so
I eat pretty much anything during the winter months, I love dairy products,
biscuits, chocolate and lollies so I am not a great role model for healthy
eating for most of the year. Once the competition season comes around I drop
weight and eat a much
healthier diet, with a lot more fruit and vegetables and red capsicum, grape
tomatoes and berries replace my sweet tooth cravings. Regardless of the season I
always eat a lot of carbs and Pasta or potato are a daily must, plus I eat quite
a lot of meat."
 Natalie
Gulbis: She is an American professional golfer of Latvian descent
who plays on the U.S.-based LPGA Tour and is a member of three victorious U.S.
Solheim Cup teams � 2005, 2007, and 2009. She is constantly working on improving
her flexibility and strength in key areas such as my
hips,
core
and
hamstrings. Massages and physical therapy on a regular basis is a must to
avoid back injury. Regarding her diet, she states "I eat a high protein diet. My
diet six days a week consists of protein shakes with whey protein, healthy fats,
greens and probiotics for breakfast and lunch. I have protein bars as snacks in
between. For dinner I usually have fish or steak with steamed veggies. When I am
home and not on tour I sit down for lunch. Usually chicken with salad dressing
on the side. I allow myself 200-300 calories of a treat a day. A Michelob ultra,
glass of wine, chocolate etc. On Sundays after the tournament I have a cheat
meal and eat whatever I may have been craving. I like consistency and protein
keeps my energy up and my body feeling good."
Ellen Hoog: She is considered as one of the most beautiful
sportsperson in the world today apart from being nominated for best player of
the world 2013. Hoog became the first player to decide a major championship
match with a penalty shootout, taking the winning shot in the 2012 summer
Olympics semi-final against New Zealand. Giving an insight into her training
routine she states" Our
training program is very diverse, but all hockey related. An
example-training week for me could be: two fitness sessions, two endurance
sessions, five hockey training sessions and one match. One of my favorite
exercise in the gym is the deep barbell squat where I put my feet wider than my
shoulders." Regarding diet "I try to eat as natural as possible. Lots of greens,
fruit and whole grain products. I'm blessed with a low body fat percentage so I
don't have to follow a diet, but healthy food gives me lots of energy which I
need for the sport. Before a match I always drink beet juice, which gives me
extra power."
Sally Fitzgibbons: As a surfer, Sally had her first significant
results at the age of 14, becoming the youngest surfer to win an ASP Pro Junior
(Under 21's) event, also finishing second at the World Qualifying Series (WQS)
Billabong Easter Girls Festival on the same day. Talking about her exercise
routine, she states "My training involves surf sessions at all different times
of the day to get used to the break we will be competing at and then I have
great variety in my land based sessions. For
cardio
I will do; run, swim, bike, boxing, skipping and Strength work in the Gym. I put
in extras in around the main sessions depending on how the day is going, like
yoga,
stretching or skateboarding. I have really busy days which is something I've
always enjoyed." According to her about diet, it is all about selecting the best
options at the time wherever she is located in the world. "Being Lactose
intolerant is my only restriction so mostly my diet comprises of raw foods,
fruit and vegetables and to that I add quality proteins and a variety of
different soups."
Blair O�Neal: he is an exceptionally talented and highly
accomplished golfer and model, named by Sports Illustrated as "One of the
Hottest 50 Athletes of All-Time", by Golf Channel as one of the �Top 10: Fit
Golfers�, by Golf Digest as one of the �Hottest Golfers� and by Golf Magazine as
one of �The 18 Most Beautiful Women in Golf�. In her one-to-one interview to
stay fit she is a big advocate of variety and does not believe in doing the same
routines or the same exercises as it delays progress. "I switch things up from
yoga to cardio, to weight training to
pilates. It
also helps me to stay interested in the gym." She continues on diet " I�ve
always been a healthy, but not perfect, eater. Fortunately I am active enough to
make up for my sometime imperfect diet. I recently got tested for food
insensitivities and found I am sensitive to gluten and certain other foods such
as eggs. Eliminating some of these foods from my diet has already proven to make
a world of difference. I�ve found that working out and eating right helps me
mentally just as much as it does physically."
Camille Leblanc-Bazinet: Hard work and someone with laser focus,
Camille Leblanc-Bazinet has been labelled as the fittest woman on earth.
According to her, everyone should
squat and squat and a lot of it. Talking on diet, she states "I follow the
diet call zone and I eat very clean� meat vegetable some fruits nuts and seed�I
also take xendurance, amino-x and synth-6." She has been amongst the top 10 at
the Reebok CrossFit Games for the past four years and has won the 2014 Reebok
CrossFit Games.
Sierra Blair-Coyle: An accomplished and talented
Professional Rock Climber. She has stood first at 2012 Knuckle Draggers
Ball and won 3rd position at 2014 Dominion Riverrock in Bouldering and
Speed Bouldering category. In her conversation with Namita Nayyar
President Women Fitness, on fitness she states " My workout regimen is a
combination of strength training and climbing. My strength training
focuses on overall body work and then more specifically on my arms." Her
diet is mainly fruits, vegetables, and lean meats. "I try to eat as many
raw vegetables as possible, carrots and celery make great snacks! I also
love creating fun salads."
Whitney Miller: An exceptionally talented and accomplished Miss
United States 2012 and a MMA Fighter. She is a person who is constantly
searching for a challenge. "I honestly believe when we challenge ourselves,
we learn about ourselves. MMA and BJJ is nothing short of a challenge.".
Regarding her maintaining her
fitness level, she comments " I focus on functional fitness and
unconventional training methods like using kettlebells, maces, battle ropes
and steel clubs." Regarding her diet " its simple 3 words: Earth grown
nutrients! If it comes from the earth and is touched by the sun, I eat it. "
She goes on to add "Personally, I don�t believe in strict diets unless you
are training for something very specific,and even then, your �diet� should
consist of nothing but earth grown nutrients and certain all natural
supplements. The only supplements I use are from Onnit. They are all natural
and actually work!! I like to keep it easy!! Earth grown nutrients is a
simple way to live an extremely healthy lifestyle which in turn optimizes
you mentally and physically! This means, if it comes in a bag, its a no go.
I would like to touch on a few basic principles that need to be brought to
light for others looking to optimize their life. Fat is good. Yes, that
horrible, no good word, is actually not so bad afterall! Believe it or not,
�good fats� like you can find in olive and coconut oils,
nuts
and avocados aid in absorption of vital nutrients, provide optimal brain
function and helps give you that flat stomach we are all working for!! Fat
is your friend!! Stop the calorie counting! I am beyond guilty of doing this
while competing in pageants. You would find me eating all kinds of low
calorie foods, like 100 calorie packs which are packed with unhealthy,
chemically based ingredients. This is the last thing our bodies want to
consume. Instead of counting calories we need to start focusing on making
the calories count. For example, eating 500 calories of
processed foods will have a dramatically different effect on your body
than eating 500 calories of earth grown nutrients like fruits, veggies and
healthy fats! Consume organic, grass fed meats and pasture raised chicken
and eggs. Conventionally raised animals are pumped with antibiotics, and
hormones which is very detrimental to the body. Eat animals that eat real
food! Start using Himalayan Sea Salt as opposed to conventional table salt.
Table salt only has 3 minerals and the 3rd one, Iodine, is usually
synthetic. Himalayan Sea Salt has 65 minerals and is beneficial for sleep,
libido, Ph balance, hydration�.the list can go on for days!"
