Favourite Way to Sweat
Cristina loves a mix of HIIT and resistance training. She loves the feeling she gets after a good HIIT session where she really pushes herself to her limits. Lifting weights is something that Cristina likes to challenge herself with, and she keeps working towards lifting heavier or getting more reps in! F45 classes are Cristina's go-to workouts for a quick sweaty sesh!
Favourite Way to Recover Post-Workout

Greatest Accomplishment
One of Cristina's favourite accomplishments in sports was medalling at the BC Winter Games in figure skating! This was a great memory for Cristina since it was different than any other competition she had previously done. You are competing for your team and not just for yourself which is something she had never experienced prior, having been in a solo sport. Academically, one of Cristina's greatest accomplishments is getting on the President & Dean’s Honour Roll at SFU. She take her studies very seriously and feels great when her hard work pays off!
