Personal Trainer

Holly Holm, being a sportsperson has to take care of her health more than any normal person. She runs for 5 days a week and does strength training for 2 days in a week.

Holm also undergoes a cardio-kickboxing class for fun and muscle recovery. It also provides her with a full-body workout and keeps her away from boredom, unlike the gym.

The athlete eats clean and stays away from unwanted greasy food items such as junk food and others. This does not mean she watches her diet/calorie intake closely.

Almond butter and drinks like kombucha and KeVita remain on her good food list.
