Marta Pagnini is an Italian rhythmic gymnast. She was born on January 21, 1991 in Florence, Italy. In the year 2010 and 2011, she became a member of the Italian Group that participated at the World Championships. The group was able to win a Group All-around gold medal. Her involvement with the group opened doors to her to many gymnastics opportunities. During the 2012 Summer Olympics, she was able to earn a bronze medal along with her team mates.
Now what is Marta and her group mates’ workout routine? Here’s what she shared in Women Fitness: “Our training is in various disciplines, it includes athletic training– running, hoppings, speed jerks, together with stretching in order to increase both the spans and the splits. Another important aspect is the ballet with a specific choreographer and the repetition of the routines– that is the main part of the training – and at the end muscle-strengthening activities (abdominals, adductors, gluteal and dorsal muscles etc.)”
As for diet, she said, “The rhythmic gymnastic is a sport in which aesthetic is very important, so it is essential to keep a good physical form. Our diet is not different from the one a normal person could have. So our diet includes healthy food and we have to avoid abuses and junk food and so on. Our weight is controlled every day and so we have to keep it constant. Obviously, we very often allow ourselves to eat a sweet, too: gymnasts are famous to be particularly greedy.”
