KERIANNE HANSON
1 WHAT IS YOUR WEEKLY EXERCISE ROUTINE?
I do CrossFit four to six days a week, but also include yoga, indoor climbing, running, swimming and hiking into my routine. Trying to stay active daily is my ultimate goal.
2 WHAT IS YOUR FITNESS AIM?
To be a strong individual and live a long and healthy life.
3 ARE YOU A GYM JUNKIE OR OUTDOOR EXERCISER?
I enjoy both. When I train at CrossFit Lah, we do it indoors because it requires certain equipment but I also enjoy swimming, running, tennis and hiking.
4 HOW DO YOU GET OVER BEING TOO LAZY TO EXERCISE?
Exercise shouldn’t be a chore. It should be something you want to do. As humans we were born to move, but due to unhealthy diets and desk jobs, our lives have become extraordinarily sedentary.
5 WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE WORKOUT?
I’m partial to CrossFit for many reasons, but I enjoy other types of exercise too. CrossFit with its constantly varied workouts makes exercising fun.
6 WHAT IS YOUR FAVOURITE PREEXERCISE/PRE-RACE FUEL?
Water and whole, healthy foods. I try to eat a healthy, well-considered meal about two hours before exercising and another healthy, well-considered meal within two hours after exercising.
7 HOW DO YOU RECOVER FROM A HARD WORKOUT?
By sleeping seven to nine hours, eating properly and listening to my body.
8 HOW DO YOU PREVENT INJURY?
There is no magic rule to prevent injury nor is exercise the only way you’re going to get injured.
9 WHAT IS YOUR ADVICE TO GET PEOPLE TO EXERCISE?
Try different activities until you find one that you enjoy and start from there.
10 WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE SOURCE OF PROTEIN?
My typical diet includes fish, beef, eggs and beans or legumes but I’m not a fan of chicken.
11 WHAT HAS EXERCISE TAUGHT YOU 12 WHAT’S YOUR FAVOURITE TIME TO EXERCISE
I’m typically an afternoon exerciser but I’ll do a morning workout if it fits my schedule better. A morning workout may be the best way to burn fat, but your energy levels typically peak in the afternoons.
