Namita Nayyar:
How do you train your abs? One secret to your toned body.
Ajla Del Ponte:
I get easily bored with abs, so I really enjoy when we do it with our training group and each one of us picks an exercise. If I’m alone, I like to add some challenge. Swiss balls, weights, bands are more than welcome. I have a look to Pamela Reif’s videos on YouTube or I peek on what other athletes do on Instagram, then I make mine some of their ideas.
Namita Nayyar:
Do you take a special diet or have a strict menu that you follow to remain healthy and physically fit?
Ajla Del Ponte:
I try to give my body all the nutriments it needs for the kind of life I do. The quality of the products I buy is very important for me and I try to eat local as much as I can for ecological reasons. Other than that, I don’t have any particular diet and I try to keep my menu range as large as possible.
Namita Nayyar:
Five foods you absolutely love and five you keep to a minimum.
Ajla Del Ponte:
Top five: fruits (all of them!), chicken, pita (Bosnian dish), risotto and pancakes.
Tricky five: chips, chocolate, fast food, diary and alcohol.
Namita Nayyar:
Share with us your hair care and skincare routine.
Ajla Del Ponte:
I like to stick to natural and nature friendly products, for this reason I’m often at Lush. For both my hair and skin I noticed how hydration and moisture are important, especially being often outside, under the sun and sweating at practice (always use sunscreen!). For my hair I noticed that sea water is very good, so I use a shampoo with sea salt in it, and as for my skincare routine I am a big fan of creams containing aloe vera.
Namita Nayyar:
Five athletic leisure brands you love to wear.
Ajla Del Ponte:
I only love one: Puma. I am a proud member of the Puma family, which is generally bright, fun and modern as the product they are creating for the costumers. And I mean, one of the slogans is “Only See Great”, how not to love this kind of motivation.
