Angelica Teixeira, a renowned figure in the world of bodybuilding, has captivated fans with her disciplined approach to fitness and her journey to success. Known for her impressive achievements, she regularly shares glimpses of her training regimen on Instagram. Last week, Teixeira gave her followers an inside look at her preparation for the Miss Bikini Olympia competition, posting a video of her posing practice in a sleek TLF Apparel outfit.
Teixeira shared her approach for working out in an interview with Muscle and Fitness. She says that she loves to do a lot of bodyweight exercises to stay in shape. “I don’t train my abs heavy or use weights. I only do body weight, and it is mostly crunches and leg raises. Or I will switch in other exercises that hit the upper abs and lower abs.”
Teixeira also shared some of her favorite bodyweight exercises in a Muscle and Fitness interview. One thing she enjoys doing is squats. Allina Health states that squats have a lot of benefits. “The squat is one of the all-around best exercises to do for your lower body. It strengthens and tones muscles in your thighs, butt and calves and improves posture, balance, flexibility and inner core strength. Squatting also improves bone mineral density to keep your bones strong.”
Teixiera shared some of her wellness tips with BodyBuilding.com. She says that she likes to take supplements, and shared her favorites in the interview. “I use GAT Whey Protein to feed the muscle fibers for growth, and GAT BCAAs to increase gains and recover faster after training,” she says. “I take one scoop of the whey after training and another scoop either in the morning or before bed each day. And I take one scoop of BCAAs before training and another after training. I use GAT PMP and Nitraflex to increase my strength and keep me focused in the gym.”
Teixeira tells BodyBuilding.com that her fitness routine is dependent on her diet. “If I have a cheat meal, I will add in an extra cardio session,” she admits. “It will usually be fasted cardio first thing in the morning to burn those extra calories, or if I had a huge cheat I may even do my workout fasted. I also make sure I eat clean the next day to detox my body.”
Teixiera shared her diet secrets with BodyBuilding.com. She says that she believes in eating a balanced diet and doesn’t like to limit her favorite indulgences. “I don’t avoid them, I just don’t overdo it. I have a small bit of each food I want, then I use those extra calories as fuel to build a better physique. I lift heavier weights for fewer reps to add muscle size. That way when I start cutting for a show, my muscles are fuller and more rounded.”
