Alex Puccio is eight times American Bouldering Champion and 2nd place holder at Boulder World Championship. She is in conversation with Namita Nayyar President Women Fitness.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Your love with rock climbing began at a young age of thirteen years and you started competing professionally at the age of 17. Later your professional career propelled to the height where you have been at the top of the world of professional rock climbing by women, winning 1st Place at Bouldering World Cup in Vail Colorado. Tell us something about this journey of success?
Ms. Alex Puccio:
Even though I have been a professional rock climb since I was 16 years old and now I have been climbing for about 12 years I have realized that it will never get easier. Actually it keeps getting harder, but thats also what I love about it. I will never stop learning in climbing or growing as a climber. There will always be something to over come. The more successes I have the more pressure comes with it and learning how to deal with it.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
What exercises comprise your fitness regime or workout routine you may wish to share?
Ms. Alex Puccio:
I climb (train) about 5 days a week. I try to push my self every session. I also run 4-5 days a week. I only run 3-4 miles each time, but I really love the cardio for cross training.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
Do you take some special diet or have a strict menu that you follow to remain healthy and physically fit?
Ms. Alex Puccio:
I try to eat little gluten. I’m probably about 80% gluten free and I don’t eat a ton of dairy. I have maybe one small yogurt for a snack at some point point of the day, but cheese is one of my favorite foods! I try to limit myself on cheese, but its hard for me. I wish my body agreed with dairy better. I also LOVE ice cream! 🙂 I always say everything in moderation.
Ms. Namita Nayyar:
You have glowing skin and gorgeous hair. Do you take some kind of skin treatment to keep it young and glowing and secondly what you do to your hair to make them look so stunning?
Ms. Alex Puccio:
Haha…. thats very flattering. I’m honestly really bad with hair. Fortunately I’m pretty lucky in that department. I have naturally wavy/curly hair and I use to straighten it every day, but now I rather just not bother with it. I leave my hair be and I’m also lucky with pretty good skin. I wash my face before bed and thats about it.
