It was pretty extensive - we worked out 8 hours a day, 5 days a week, for 3 months, which I think is more than anybody in the Olympics. I thought well I don't need this, the girls need it, but it was a gift.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I work out two, two and a half hours a day. For 'Immortals,' it was body-weight stuff: crunches, pullups, and martial arts-based cardio.
I'm doing four hours of gymnastics training a day, six days a week and then an extra two to three hours in a fitness center as well.
I spend around two and half hours on the track every day running and another 2 hours in the weight room lifting weights with my strength coach.
On the actual competition days, you get about three or four hours of physical exertion - between an hour-long warm-up, recovery in-between runs, the training runs, and then the runs themselves.
I've always loved working out. When I was little, my dad used to make me and my sister do 10 press-ups every day before we brushed our teeth in the morning. It was like a boot camp! Then I did a lot of athletics at school and was a dancer.
We used to lift weights a couple of times a week, we did a lot of running. I enjoyed the variety.
The Olympics are what I work for. They're why I spend so much time in the gym.
I work out six days a week. Usually 45 minutes of running, then swimming and weightlifting.
As an athlete, I'd average four hours a day. It doesn't sound like a lot when some people say they're training for 10 hours, but theirs includes lunch, massage and breaks. My four hours was packed with work.
I am used to training 10 to 12 sessions a week, so I have the physical and mental endurance that comes with being an athlete.
