How to train like Ronda:
With a few modifications, you, too, can train like an undefeated champ, says Ronda's trainer, Edmond Tarverdyan.
Warmup: "Ronda jogs on the treadmill for 20 minutes with a 2-pound dumbbell in each hand," Edmond says. "The pace is good but not too fast. The point is conditioning, and the little weights help tone her arms. Believe it or not, even though she is very strong we use a lot of light dumbbells in her training — the kind of weight any woman can use."
Legs: "Ronda does a lot of stair work. She runs the Santa Monica Stairs — there are almost 400 — and she'll run straight up doing one at a time," Edmond says. "Then she'll do side steps, first leading with her right leg, then her left. Then she'll go up two stairs at a time and repeat the whole routine. You could do the same thing on stadium steps."
