About Veronica and here Routine

Bio:

I’m currently a fulltime Strength & Conditioning coach at Syracuse University. Prior to this I worked as a personal trainer and fitness specialist for 6 years. I competed in track & field as a hurdler and long jumper for nearly 20 years, including 4 years at the DI level. After my running career ended, a co-worker introduced me to the world of bodybuilding. I soon fell in love with Figure and entered my first competition in April 2006. I’ve competed successfully so far in 2007 placing in the top 3 at each of my shows. My goal is to earn my pro card in Figure and to become a fitness model or possibly a spokeswoman in a health/fitness related venture.


Diet:

I love to eat and foods like yogurt, berries, pizza, and chocolate are some of my favorite treats, but when I’m preparing for a Figure competition I follow a fairly restricted diet. Leading into a competition my daily intake consists of foods like eggs, oatmeal, turkey, chicken, peanut butter, and broccoli. However, when I’m not getting ready to compete, I happily enjoy a variety of foods that are not in my training diet and I’m not afraid to indulge every now & then.

       


Cardio:

I enjoy going on long runs in the morning before work. I try to get 30-45mins in during the off-season, but in-season I usually go for about 60 minutes. When the cold weather hits or when I need to do a second session, I like to mix it up and do other cardio activities like stairs, jump rope, or the elliptical and stationary bike.


Strength Training:

I tend to put on muscle mass quite easily, so I usually train high reps & sets using moderate weights. I like to do legs every other day and incorporate a lot of bodyweight and single leg exercises. I train the rest of my body, chest, back, biceps & triceps once per week.
