Juliana Mota is getting the weekend started off right – in her exercise clothes. In a new social media post the bodybuilder flaunts her amazingly fit figure in a two-piece set, driving her followers wild. “The best way to start the weekend is with a new outfit,” she captioned the Instagram photo. “The fit is beautiful,” commented one of her followers. “On fire 🔥” added another. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
1. Protein and Clean Carbs
Juliana also maintains a healthy diet. “Focus on getting a good source of protein and clean carbs. My two favorite post-workout meals are chicken with rice or whey protein with cream of rice and berries. No secrets here—just simple, effective nutrition! 🥗If you want to maintain a healthy and feminine look, the ‘secret’ you’re searching for is on your plate,” she revealed in a post.
2. Being a Better Version of Herself
Juliana “used to have a very different view of competitions,” she writes in a post. “Today, the only thing I truly want is to become a better version of myself. I don’t care about the rivalry or the animosity between some athletes. I don’t care about comparisons. Even though I don’t care about these things, at the end of the day, it’s still a competition, and the show must go on. My advice is: don’t take anything personally. If someone tries to compare you with other athletes, remember that it’s just part of the game. Don’t take it personally because the results will be determined on stage by the judges. We’re all in the same field, striving for the same goals, maybe for different reasons, but we understand each other better than anyone else does. We may be rivals on stage, but respect and fairness should always be the most important aspects of our journey. Are you seeing the girl in the picture? She’s the only one I compare myself to. She’s come from so far away that everything she’s experiencing now feels like a dream, and she’s grateful for it. Does she want to win some shows? Oh, yes, she does. Does she work for it? Absolutely! And if she doesn’t win a specific show, she will evaluate what she can do to be even better in the next one. She’s ready to learn whatever she needs to keep improving. She’s here to experience situations, feelings, emotions—everything life has to offer. Tomorrow is just one more special moment she wants to live fully.”
3. Changing Intensity
Juliana regularly changes intensity with her workouts. “100 kg on Bulgarian SS 💥It’s not the first time I do it, I have cycles of training where I explore different qualities of my muscles and body. @trainedbyvicente even said, ‘You could have done more reps,’ but I didn’t want to push it too much 😅 it was the first exercise and I wasn’t wearing my knee sleeves or my belt. Guys, intensity is about the weight you use (heavier you lift more intensity you put on it) Everything else is just talk. Do you always need to train this way? No. Is this the only way that works? No. But make sure to periodize your training to use your STRENGTH at the right time,” she revealed in a post.
4. How to Get in Shape Quickly
Juliana revealed how to get in shape quickly. “Since I started my fitness journey, I’ve always tried to maintain a “decent” body fat level throughout the year. Every time I need to cut some weight, we’re talking about 5-6 kg (and half of this is just water retention). I’ve been consistent with my diet for 12 years now, and I’ve been training for 18 years since I started when I was 12 years old. 👶🏻 For someone who has a lot of weight to cut, or someone who is just starting their fitness journey, please be kind and patient with yourself,” she wrote, listing the following suggestions:
✅Start by determining your caloric intake for cutting.
✅Multiply your weight by 0.05 to find out the ideal amount of water and be VERY CONSISTENT with your water intake.
✅Make sure you have all the necessary vitamins and minerals in your diet.
✅Fiber is extremely important.
✅Manage your stress and get enough sleep to recover properly.
✅With all those points in place, add 2 caps of Hydroxycut in the morning before your fasted cardio (if you do it). If not, you can also take it before your training. Just make sure not to take it too close to bedtime to avoid affecting your sleep.
5. Hydration
Juliana makes sure to hydrate, especially because she spends so much time exercising. According to the Mayo Clinic, hydration is important for a variety of reasons. Water helps get rid of waste through urination, perspiration, and bowel movements, keeps your temperature normal, lubricates and cushions joints, and helps protect sensitive tissues.
