Talking about her new training camp on One on One, Nunes said, “I’ve pretty much kept the same type of schedule I used to have when I became a champion, (and) when I became a double champion. Of course, I just put in more things, new things, and change a couple things. But it’s been well. No injuries at all, I’m 100 percent, which is something that really was bothering me that I would always be able to do a full camp.”
“To make everything easier, upstairs I have a place to rest. I don’t need to go back home, drive home then go back to the gym. When I’m done with my training in the morning, I stay in my studio. I have a very nice setup with a kitchen, living room for rest, we have a pretty comfortable area in the gym to stay right after training then jumping into the next class,” Nunes concluded.
