This Is How I Have Combined Yoga and Bodybuilding for 15+ Years The best competition prep program I did for size was: Heavy lifting six days a week, squats three days a week, and Hot Yoga five times a week. That was a good balance to get strength, size and cardio, maintaining balance and shape.

How My Fear of Aging Keeps Me Motivated, Really Fit and Competitive I love hot yoga, and cross-fit, so in the off season I will add more variety, just to mix it up. I have also done pole fitness classes which I love.

How I Empower Women to Go Plant-Based, Lose Fat and Overcome Emotional Eating I got really into yoga as well in 2014, and every year or so I go through a major yoga phase, where I’ll do hot yoga for six to 12 months before going back to weight training. I love the way yoga pushes my mental and physical boundaries, and challenges me in a whole different way than weight lifting.
