Track and Field Stunner Ivona Dadic in Two-Piece Workout Gear Goes "Back to Basics"

Ivona Dadic is breaking a sweat in her Puma exercise gear. In a new social media post the track and field star shows off her amazingly fit figure during a grueling sweat session at the gym. "✌🏼week in the 📖. #grinding #backtobasics #workingout #track #athlete #hardworkpaysoffs #puma #sportlandnoe #welcomeback #foreverfaster," she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. "Never stopping 💪🔥," Puma commented on her post. "Beautiful 🔥😍🔥," added another follower. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Dadic spends a lot of time running. "I train six days a week for about six hours a day," she says. "The training is very sprint-heavy, of course," she says. "In addition to the individual disciplines, we also have running units of around 40 minutes on the training plan. Since a heptathlon competition lasts two days, endurance is also required and you should be well prepared." 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.

"I like to go horseback riding," she added, admitting, "it's difficult to get excited about sporting hobbies in addition to training." According to the American Heart Association, riding horses is great for your health. Not only does it boost cardiovascular health, but builds core strength, burns calories, and lowers blood pressure. It is also great for your mental health as it helps relax you.

She also likes to "play tennis on vacation" she says. According to ACE Fitness it blends together cardio and aerobic exercise, as there is a lot of running around, and hand-eye coordination. "While tennis provides numerous health benefits—improved aerobic fitness and anaerobic endurance, muscular fitness (grip strength and endurance), flexibility, multiple skill parameters (balance, speed, agility and quickness), reactivity, and power—it also is psychologically demanding," they say.

She also maintains a healthy diet. "Although I don't have a specific diet plan, nutrition is an important issue," she says. "You eat consciously, especially before competitions. The sense for this develops over time or it arises through common sense. I'm currently trying to avoid meat, which works quite well. But sometimes I can't resist sweets when I'm not competing."

"There is also strength training, especially legs and upper body," she says about her training methods. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

• Develop strong bones
• Manage your weight
• Enhance your quality of life
• Manage chronic conditions
• Sharpen your thinking skills
