Ali Fedotowsky’s Fitness Plan After Leg Injury
by nutritionist on Wednesday, September 21st, 2011 | 1 Comment
Former Bachelorette Ali Fedotowsky had no choice but to stop and take things slow when she was injured from a fractured femur while kickboxing. She had to undergo surgery to repair the injury.
Right after the surgery, she began gaining weight because she was eating a lot and living an inactive lifestyle. So Ali decided to change her diet and modify her workout to fit in her current state.
What did Ali do?She began to stack her fridge with vegetables. She carried Ziploc baggies filled with celery, sugar snap peas or almonds wherever she goes. Once a week, she splurges on foods that she normally avoids. According to her, eating healthy isn’t about deprivation, it’s all about picking your battles.
As for exercise, Ali still can’t bend her leg more than 90 degrees so she finds ways to sneak fitness moves into her temporarily lounge-only lifestyle. For her upper body workout, she uses dumbbell weights and a medicine ball. For a toned core, she squeezes her abs.
Ali gave out an advice to those who are injured but still want to keep fit.
“It’s going to be so easy to sit there and eat all the comfort foods that you want to eat and do nothing but don’t even let yourself get there. If you work hard at it right now during an injury, later you will be so much happier and better off. And join book a club to keep your mind busy so your stomach’s not.”
