Cora Jade is flexing her muscles – in her swimsuit. In a new social media post the WWE fighter shows off her biceps in an animal print swimsuit. She shared the image via her Instagram Stories. How does the athlete, also known as Brianna Coda, approach health and fitness? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.
Cora, who is currently on hiatus from the WWE, works out daily – even Sundays. She told The Mark Moses Show that her trainer made her do “these Sunday training cardio days he would call them. It was so much conditioning, it would be so much, and at the time it was so exhausting, but I think that really prepared me for the tryout because he kind of pushed us as much as we could be pushed then,” she said.
Cora is a swimmer, a great aerobic exercise per the CDC. Just two and a half hours per week of aerobic physical activity, such as swimming, bicycling, or running, can decrease the risk of chronic illnesses. In addition to the many physical benefits, there are multiple studies supporting the mental health benefits of swimming as well.
Because she spends so much time working out, Cora needs to keep her body fueled with protein. In addition to incorporating lots of protein sources in her diet she also relies on protein shakes. “Today’s workout fueled by @redcon1,” she captioned a photo of herself holding her workout fuel.
You can also find Cora running. “I love training with @raquelwwe from 5am til sunset ,” she captioned a photo of one of her runs. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.
As part of her WWE training, Cora boxes and kickboxes, which boasts lots of health benefits “because it constantly requires you to think, change your position, and change your posture,” physical therapist Linda Arslanian, director of rehabilitation services at Harvard-affiliated Brigham and Women’s hospital tells Harvard Health.”You’re swinging your arms, moving the muscles of your arms and shoulders, increasing your upper-body strength. And when you’re in the boxer crouch with a wide stance, with your knees slightly bent, you’re strengthening your core muscles, back, and legs.”
