Five exercises that essentially comprise your workout routine? Five essentials to keep in mind and follow to prevent injury or overcome it? Your advice to beginners.
Belinda Bencic:
Oh, my advice for five exercises, I think it’s very individual, especially for preventing injury, of course, depends on how your body is and what you have. I’m really glad I found a routine with my fitness coach, and we are doing this before every match and on the tournaments.
And it’s basically, it’s a warm up where he just activates my muscles by massaging them or like, with the hyper ice machine.
And then we make some mobility and then we do the active up. So the active warm up for the muscles. And I think for me it’s really important to make some core before practice to stabilize and also to stabilize my ankles.
Namita Nayyar:
A diet that you follow to remain healthy and physically fit? Two supplements that are key essential for immunity and enhanced performance.
Belinda Bencic:
I don’t have a key diet that I follow, but of course I’m watching what I eat. I need to stay fit, of course, and healthy and of course, watch my weight all the time. So I’m just trying to eat healthy and just see what works best for me. I have like a routine before the match. I eat rice with olive oil and salt. I think it’s the best for me.
I don’t feel heavy, but I still feel energized, two supplements that I use. I mean, I use all the supplements from sponsor sports foods and I think they’re the best for isotonic drinks, recovery drinks and protein drinks are the all the supplements that I have. I take them also for my immunity. I always have the water with lemon in the morning.
Namita Nayyar:
Training in extreme weather conditions can show its toll on hair & skin, five tips you follow for skin, and hair care?
Belinda Bencic:
Yes, for sure. I have a skin and hair routine after when I’m in the zone. I always use some oil in my hair in the end to keep it hydrated. I don’t have special brands I use. I always mix it up and see what works best for my skin.
Also, I always wear sunscreen when I go out. I think that’s the most important rule. Of course, because we are always playing in the sun and my skin is all the time hydrated and sometimes even oily. So I don’t use much extra hydration and just kind of cleaning, always removing makeup before I go to sleep.
