How do you kick start your day. Share with us your first meal of the day? Share 2 ways to detox?
Lindsey Jacobellis:
If it is a day that I will be in the gym then I have a big breakfast. I have 4 eggs with mushrooms and onions on a rice cracker and lots of hot sauce….and coffee is a must. On an aerobic day I can eat lighter in the am, so it might just have avocado toast or granola.
Detox 1. No dairy for 1-2 weeks 2. No alcohol for 2-4 weeks
Namita Nayyar:
Before kicking off snowboarding training, what are the key points a beginner needs to keep in mind?
Lindsey Jacobellis:
For snowboard training in the gym or on the hill, the most important thing to do is body prep. That means a dynamic warm up and good mobility; to make sure all joints and muscles are moving well, balanced and not being restricted. It is a great way to take note on how your body is reacting to certain workouts and to monitor injuries.
Namita Nayyar:
Three components that are a must in a fitness regime to prevent injury? 5 exercises to build full body strength that can be followed even while travelling?
Lindsey Jacobellis:
Three important components for me are diet, warm ups and recovery.
… On the road workouts can be challenging when gyms are hard to find but not impossible. 1. Walking lunges with dumbbells 2. Single leg RDL (Russian dead lifts) 3. Hanging leg raises 4.Traditional or wide leg back squats 5. Bent over single arm rows (These exercises can be done when there are limited weights to work with in a hotel gym.)
