Aimee Fuller is Olympian British slopestyle snowboarder. She is in conversation with Namita Nayyar President Women Fitness
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You have started skiing at the age four at a dry slope near your home in Bromley, England. You first tried snowboarding at the age of eight years in Canada, but took it up properly at the age of 12 years when your family moved to the United States. You reached the pinnacle of success when you participated in 2014 Olympic Winter Games in Sochi. What factors you consider were responsible that made you achieve that?
Ms. Aimee Fuller:
Going out and riding as much as possible, my motto is every time you are on your board try something new no matter how big or small it is that will keep the stoke alive and keep you going back for more.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You had a heel injury during the 2011/12 season and also you broke your collarbone early in your career in Breckenridge, CO, United States. How you were able to overcome such a physical injury/setback and what advice you can give to fellow sports person in a similar situation?
Ms. Aimee Fuller:
Last year was the worst for injuries hurt my AC joint 2x in my shoulder and separated it the 3rd time! It just motivates me to get back in the gym and push harder so I can nail that trick I am working on.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What exercises comprise your fitness regime or workout routine you shall like to share?
Ms. Aimee Fuller:
I work in the gym 3x a week in the offseason as well as 1 or 2 jogs and a bike ride per week! That way I am keeping my explosive strength firing in the gym and working up a good base fitness through cardio.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Do you take some special diet or have a strict menu that you follow to remain healthy and physically fit?
Ms. Aimee Fuller:
No not really I just try to eat as clean and healthy as possible, I am a big advocate of yoghurt after training with nuts, my favourite is Total Greek and then I top it with Wyldsson Almond Butter. Other than that I just eat fairly normally, for sure in the winter I eat more, lots of good protein, steak and chicken with good carbs, sweet potatoes and quinoa and lots of veggies.
