Juliana Velasquez is packing a punch – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post the Bellator Flyweight World Champion shows off her amazingly fit figure in a two-piece exercise set while throwing punches during a training session. Her followers went wild over the video, with many of them commenting with fire emojis. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


Espresso

Juliana enjoys the perks of coffee. Here she is taking a shot of espresso. According to the Cleveland Clinic, there are several benefits of drinking coffee in moderation. “It acts on your brain to improve memory, mood, reaction times, and mental function,” they say, citing a study finding that caffeine can improve endurance and performance during exercise. It is also antioxidant-rich, can ward off diabetes, prevent neurologic disease, lower cancer risk, and ward off depression, they point out.

Treadmill

Juliana runs on the treadmill. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

Airbike and Bike

She also trains on an airbike and also a spin bike. The Cleveland Clinic explains that biking, a low-impact aerobic exercise, is great for building muscle, improving strength and flexibility, and improving balance. It can also boost mental health and help other health conditions, including arthritis.

Stretching

At the beginning and end of her exercise sessions Juliana makes sure to stretch. “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible, strong, and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints,” says Harvard Health. “Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are weak and unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”

Boxing

Boxing and kickboxing are Juliana’s main workouts. Harvard Health maintains that boxing is a great way to build strength, improve balance, posture, hand-eye coordination, boost mood and endurance, and helps increase alertness.
