Santé is a co-sponsor of Team Continu, the elite skating team led by Olympic champion Marianne Timmer. As a former world-class speed skater, Marianne shares proven daily tips to stay fit with Santé. Today, she reveals why cooking at home is key to her success.
Marianne: 'Skating is my job, hobby, and passion—but cooking is my ultimate relaxation. At home, I have a stunning cooking island that makes meal prep pure joy.'
A healthy diet fuels better recovery from intense training. Sure, we all enjoy treats now and then—a baked potato, glass of wine, candy, or snacks. Who doesn't?
Indulgences are fine occasionally, but not too often. My body fat stays around 22%, ideal for a woman my age. Dropping lower leaves me feeling off. I'm more toned in winter than summer, when my legs noticeably thicken. But come race season, they're race-ready again."
