She Is Disciplined
Luciana has been disciplined since she was very young. "When I was 17 years old, I had to travel to Buenos Aires every week to train. I would get up on Sundays at 3 a.m. and take a bus to be in Buenos Aires at 7 a.m., to start training at 8 a.m. sharp," she told Olympics.com. "I came back from Buenos Aires on Thursday to get to my club training on Thursday afternoon. Then I would play on Saturday and go back out on Sunday to Buenos Aires."I did this crazy routine for many years. My head was determined I would be the best player I could be."
She Trains Hard
Luciana is no stranger to tough workouts. "We started training double shifts every day, lifting weights, running marathons with weight vests on, training in the pool and running on the track," she told Olympics. "The change in our bodies and in our minds was radical. In four years, we created a group of people passionate about hockey with the clear conviction of becoming the best."
She Prioritizes Her Family
After retiring, Luciana is focused on her family. "Today my energy is set on trying to live a normal life, learning to live in a relationship with another person and not with my sport," she told Olympics. "When I stopped playing I distanced myself to be able to fully release my sport."
Exercise Makes Her Happy
Luciana's workouts now fuel her happiness. "After several months we are gradually returning to a training routine, today with the only objective of being active. Training does me good physically and emotionally. It is always a place, a space that makes me happy," she captioned a post.
She Does Cardio and Strength Training
In the same video, Luciana lifts weights and rides on a spin bike – a great cardio workout. She also goes for lots of walks with her children, and does running drills as part of her training. Physical activity is anything that gets your body moving. Each week adults need 150 minutes of moderate-intensity physical activity and 2 days of muscle-strengthening activity, according to the current Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.
