“Always keep improving yourself. If you have to work 6 hours, work 7. If you have to do 12 repetitions, do 13. Whatever you do, be the best you can possibly be.”

Training

Changing the Routine Up

To build a strong, toned, and lean physique, July combines heavy weight training with cardio. She trains in the gym several times per week, doing cardio early in the morning or after her workouts. As July says, it all depends on what her goals are and how she feels.

July’s repetition range varies. Most of the time, she’ll train with heavy weights, doing 6-10 reps. However, July will change her workouts from time to time, in order train with lighter weights and a high number of reps – achieving the ‘pump.’

By changing her training routine occasionally, July is able to achieve constant progress in the gym.

July Jardim’s Glute, Leg, and Abdominal Exercises

• Squats – Squats target July’s legs, glutes, lower back, as well as her entire core. However, July believes this exercise can do more harm than good if done incorrectly. For this reason, she advises learning the perfect form before attempting to lift heavy weights on squats.
• Deadlifts – Similar to squats, deadlifts help July target several body parts at the same time, primarily low-back, hamstrings, and glutes. Just like with any other heavy compound movement, July makes sure to warm-up first before moving onto heavier weights.
• Hanging Leg Raises – Hanging leg raises are July’s favorite exercise for developing strong and chiseled midsection. July typically ends her ab workouts with this exercise, using it as her ‘finisher.’

“Did you know that more than half of the Brazilian population is overweight and obese? Madness, right? Even with the fitness fever, with the supplement companies in every corner and bombastic gyms everywhere. Do you know where the mistake is? Inside our own mind.”

Nutrition

July’s diet consists of fish, beef, poultry, fermented full-fat dairy, and a lot of vegetables. She restricts her carbs to only the morning, and after the workout to fuel her muscles.

July will have six to seven meals a day. She prefers having several smaller meals as opposed to two or three big meals, as this makes it easier on her digestive system.

As for supplements, July keeps everything basic. She takes fish oil capsules, protein powder, and BCAAs.
