Namita Nayyar:
What is your motivation to take a multi-faceted personality of a fitness model, professional bikini competitor, personal trainer, martial artist and a nutritional expert?
Jennifer Dietrick:
I enjoy being continuously challenged, so I prefer a variety of avenues in the fitness industry. I strive to improve and maintain my health and fitness, be of service to my clients to aid them in their goals, and train martial arts to inspire others. I’m currently writing a book about the mental aspect of achieving the desired health and fitness for each individual. I believe all facets have worked together to help me grow in all areas and be a true fitness role model.
Namita Nayyar:
Share your exercise routine that you do to maintain such a bikini perfect physique?
Jennifer Dietrick:
I do want to clarify that I formerly trained with weights and plyometrics 6 days a week to build my physique to get it to the form it is now. With that foundation, I currently train to refine my physique and improve my jiu jitsu performance. My current training regimen has been jiu jitsu classes, lessons, and drills along with weight training and conditioning. On the days outside of jiu jitsu, I complete a strength and conditioning day which includes exercises to help my strength and endurance in jiu jitsu.
At the same time, it’s a great high intensity workout to keep myself lean and fit. I usually do upper and lower body plyometrics mixed with core training. I normally complete 3 rounds of 9-12 exercises for 30 seconds to one minute each. I move from one exercise to the next without any breaks. I alternate between exercises that involve a lot of cardio and ones that don’t require much since they are continuous. One of the other days, I train legs with a high volume of exercises usually comprising of supersets. The remaining day I train back with plyometrics and/or abs in between sets. This regimen covers all my body parts in the week to keep me balanced. I add the plyometrics to keep the intensity high throughout the workout. I do flexibility work at the end of my training sessions and add extra time if my schedule allows.
Namita Nayyar:
What is your diet? Do you take a particular fixed regulated diet comprising of nutrients and vitamins to keep you in perfect health?
Jennifer Dietrick:
My nutrition is composed mainly of eggs, oats, fruit, coconut oil, avocado, tomatoes, olive oil, chicken breast, fish, gluten free bread, greens, yams, red potatoes, and brown rice. I currently do not take in a fixed amount although I have in the past when getting ready for shows. I listen to how my body feels and eat accordingly. I supplement my nutrition with vitamins, minerals, fish oils, protein powder, HMB, and BetaTOR. Both the supplements and nutrition play a major factor in my physique and health.
