Alice Marchisio is heating up social media in her skimpy workout gear. In a new post the bodybuilder shows off her phenomenal figure in a unique two-piece set, driving her followers wild. “Black days have begun,” she wrote in the Instagram caption. “So beautiful 😍❤️❤️❤️,” commented one of her followers, while several others added fire emojis. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
1. Strength Training
Alice relies on weights to keep her body strong. “My training routine is carefully organized to get the most out of my physical abilities and continually improve. Each muscle group is trained intensely once a week, allowing adequate time for recovery and optimal muscle growth. I incorporate four to five weight lifting sessions per week, focusing each session on specific muscle groups to maximize strength and definition,” she told Yamamoto.
2. Cardio
She also does cardio. “I complement these sessions with two to three cardio sessions, which are essential for maintaining my conditioning, promoting fat loss and improving my cardiovascular endurance,” she says.
3. High Intensity Interval Training
HIIT also helps her stay fit. “I use high intensity training techniques such as stripping, drop sets and isomix, including its advanced version 2.0. These methodologies not only increase the difficulty of the exercises but also stimulate a greater muscular response to push the body beyond its limits,” she says.
4. Her Off Season Diet Helps Her Maintain Her Weight

“During the off-season, I follow a normocaloric diet to maintain a healthy weight without accumulating excess fat, thanks to the choice of foods compatible with my metabolism. This phase allows you to vary your caloric and macronutrient intake while remaining within the limits necessary for my category,” she says.
5. She Cuts Carbs Before Competitions

“In the preparation period for competitions, my diet becomes more rigorous and calibrated, with a focus on specific foods that I manage well, and particular attention to the regulation of carbohydrates based on my physical condition and the directives of my coach. This helps me optimize energy and muscle definition,” she says. “As the competition gets closer, I eliminate free meals to focus on physical and nutritional preparation, a change that is critical to reaching peak fitness. This disciplined dietary regimen is essential for optimal management of my body and success in bodybuilding competitions. This strategy not only supports the maintenance of lean mass and reduction of body fat, but also prepares you physically and mentally for the demands of competition.”
