She Has 3 Favorites Exercises
Ana enjoys doing some exercises more than others, she told Simply Shredded.
- Stiff Leg Deadlifts: “They are great for tightening the back of my leg and works great on the glute/hamstring tie in. I also love the burn I get from it every time,” she says.
- Arnold Press: “It has helped me gain some decent size on my deltoids. Truly a great compound exercise,” she adds.

She Does Circuit Training
Ana does circuit training. “I love to work in circuits (supersets, tri-sets and giant sets) when I lift because it keeps my heart rate up through the workout and it’s great when you’re pressed for time. I also love to do drop-sets on any muscle group I need to emphasize,” she told Simply Shredded.
HIIT and Cardio
Ana relies on a “combination of both” HIIT and cardiofor weight loss. “Some days I will do LIIS cardio (Low Intensity Steady State) and others I’ll do HIIT sprints (High Intensity Interval Training). But I prefer HIIT sprints because I find them more challenging and fun!” she says. There is lots of research backing up the benefits of HIIT workouts, including body fat reduction, improved cardiovascular function, and mental health. It is also time effective.
