Selenis is very particular about her workout regime and has even hired a personal trainer to push her beyond her limits. Jose Lopez puts her through grueling workout routine at the Bronx Barbell Club. And, to keep things fresh and ensure that she doesn’t hit a plateau, he keeps switching her workout routine around. He takes the elements of high-intensity interval training and boxing and mixes it up with plyometric exercises to create a complete fitness regime for her.
Selenis complements her gym regime by eating healthy. She is a huge fan of salads and smoothies and usually prefers to cook her food on her own. She is very much into juicing as well.
