I'm a Fitness Model, and This Is How I Train in a Week


I'm Tamara and along with being an editor at POPSUGAR, I'm also a fitness model and personal trainer. I've been training at an elite level since I was 7 years old and still enjoy it! While my schedule tends to be very tight with clients, shoots, and a full-time job, I make sure to carve out time in my day to focus on myself and train. I train consistently five to six times a week, doing a little bit of everything from running to heavy weights. Checkout my week of training below:

Monday

  • Weighted Single-Leg Deadlifts — 3 sets of 10 reps
  • Bulgarian Split Squats — 3 sets of 12 reps
  • Box Jumps — 3 sets of 10 reps
  • Sumo Squats — 3 sets of 15 reps
  • Walking Lunge — 3 sets of 10 reps, each leg
  • Hamstring Curls — 3 sets of 12 reps
