4. High-intensity training

“Besides my javelin programme, I also do boxing, CrossFit and S.W.E.A.T. 1000 and when my programme is not too full, AMPT (a gym in Joburg that focuses on high-intensity interval training). These are very high intensity cardio workouts and I burn a lot of kilojoules during each session.” – Sunette Viljoen, Olympic javelin thrower
