Fitness Cure

During her eighth month pregnant, Jennifer Lopez has been quoted as saying she wanted to compete in a triathlon. SO now she is! She’s getting her body ready for a run, and bike for the Nautica Triathlon in Malibu, CA.

I personally never aspired to do a triathlon simply because the swimming part semi-scares me. I will probably follow in her footsteps once the pregnancy is over though.

Here are wikiHow’s top tips on how to train for a triathlon:

1. Train in each event. You are going to swim, ride and run. Therefore, each week, you should swim on day 1, ride on day 2, run on day 3, swim on day 4, ride on day 5 and run on day 6. Day 7 is off. (If you do swimming and biking on the same day, you can do training for each of the three stages three times a week, but make sure you always take that 7th day off!)
2. Start off with a 15 minute work out for swimming and running. So, for swimming it is 15 minutes of swimming — not 15minutes of being in the pool! For cycling, double this time, so start off with 30 minutes.
3. Increase the time to 30 minutes for running and swimming as your stamina improves. Increase the cycling time to 60 minutes or more.
4. Practice some ‘brick’ sessions about a month ahead of your event. A brick is where you do two disciplines back to back. The most important session is the 45-minute cycle ride followed by a 15- to 20-minute run. This gets you used to changing muscle groups.
