Julianna Peña, a renowned UFC fighter, has been diligently sharing her fight camp recovery routine with fans, offering insight into how she stays in top shape. Recently, Peña posted on Instagram, expressing her gratitude for the tools that support her recovery, including saunas, cold plunges, and her favorite flip-flops. With fight camps demanding immense physical endurance, Peña’s focus on recovery is just as crucial as her training.

From using saunas and cold plunges to practicing self-improvement and eating balanced meals, Peña’s dedication to her well-being ensures she’s always ready for her next challenge in the ring. Here's a glimpse into her wellness routine.

1. She Uses A Sauna

As you can see from her Instagram post, Peña likes to go in saunas. The Mayo Clinic states that saunas are very beneficial. “The beneficial effects of sauna bathing on these outcomes have been linked to its effect on circulatory, cardiovascular, and immune functions. It has been postulated that regular sauna bathing may improve cardiovascular function via improved endothelium-dependent dilatation, reduced arterial stiffness, modulation of the autonomic nervous system, beneficial changes in circulating lipid profiles, and lowering of systemic blood pressure.”

2. She Does Cold Plunges

Peña also revealed in her Instagram post that she does cold plunges. The Mayo Clinic reports that cold water immersion is very beneficial. “Research on cold-water immersion has found evidence that it helps reduce the degree of exercise-induced muscle damage that can occur after physically challenging activities. Less damage leads to less inflammation, which in turn reduces soreness and helps restore physical performance the next day.”

3. She Works On Herself

Peña is all about working on herself. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “To work on yourself is the best thing you can do. Accept that you are not perfect, but you are enough. And then start working on everything that destroys you. Your insecurities, your ego, your dark thoughts. You will see, in the end you’re going to make peace with yourself. And that’s the greatest thing in the world ✨”

4. She Eats Healthy Carbs

Peña makes sure to eat healthy. She revealed to ESPN that she loves grilled chicken and sweet potatoes with steamed broccoli before working out. “Properly fueling up before and after a workout is a key factor in my muscle development. Eating foods that keep my blood sugar levels consistent throughout my workout has also been a key aspect of increasing endurance. As a rule, my preworkout meals are always prepared with protein and low-to-medium GI [glycemic index] carbohydrates.”

In the previous blurb, Peña revealed that she loves broccoli. The Cleveland Clinic states that broccoli is very beneficial. “Broccoli has more vitamin C than oranges. In 1 cup of the green cruciferous veggie, you get a whopping 81 milligrams of vitamin C. That’s 90% of the daily U.S. recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for adults. (An orange has about 70 milligrams.)”

Perez is known for opening up about her mental health. She tells Metro that she wants to help others who are struggling with the same thing. “It’s so cool. I’ve always wanted to bring mental health into wrestling somehow and never thought it was possible. It’s really cool to be able to change people’s lives. I feel like that’s the most important thing that I’ve always wanted to do. If I can be that voice that helps someone else know that they’re not alone, then that means the world to me.”

2. She Trained With Her Boyfriend

In an interview with Fightful, Perez revealed how she trained for the WWE. "I definitely did my homework, especially training at Booker T’s school. He prepared me. My boyfriend, Gino Medina, he’s awesome and he prepared me for that tryout. I was ready. He had me doing some crazy cardio. He’s done a tryout before, so he’s like, ‘Yeah, this is what they do,’ and it was way less than what he had me do. But I was over prepared. So that was good."

3. She Worked Hard

Perez tells Fightful that she worked hard to get to where she is. “As a kid, my dream was going to WWE and I was like, ‘I don’t know how I’m gonna get there, but I’m gonna do it.’ Then I find out about the indies and I found out how you can just work your way up throughout the indies and one day maybe they’ll call me. That’s what I wanted to do. I wanted to make a big enough name for myself to where I don’t have to beg. They will contact me and be like, ‘Hey, we want you because your work spoke for yourself.’ When I got there, it was crazy to do my tryout and people were like, ‘Yeah, we know you.’ I would never have expected to come into a WWE tryout and people be like, ‘Yeah, you’re good.’"

They promote overall upper body muscle development and can lead to some serious strength gains.”
