An athletic childhood helped
set the tone for this French Canadian’s future in the fitness industry. Michele played every sport, from soccer to figure skating to gymnastics, and she even held a spot on Canada’s Olympic track team. After a year away from the competitive fitness stage, Michele is making a comeback in 2010. As a personal trainer, she spends her off-season rehabilitating clients with knee injuries. Here’s what her nutrition and training plan looks like: MICHELE’S workout:
“I wake up every morning at
4:45 a.m. and hit the stepmill
for 30 minutes before training my first client,” says Michele, who trains six days a week alongside her trainer – performing high reps to condition her endurance – in preparation for her return to the stage. MICHELE’S meals:
Michele sticks to a clean-eating plan of five meals per day, eating every two to three hours. “I eat three meals with a mix of protein and carbs, such as brown rice, sweet potatoes and chicken, and the other two meals are snacks consisting of a mix of protein and vegetables.”
Her favorite snack: “Frozen raspberries warmed in the microwave, then mixed into a scoop of protein powder with a dollop of almond butter. It’s amazing!” MICHELE LEVESQUE’S MUSIC:
