Thighs!

Today's workout looked like this!10 minutes of cardio to warm up the muscles. I started my training with front squats. I started easy and then increased the weight after each set. A total of five sets of about 8 repetitions in each set. Then it was time for my favorite, the leg curl. Here I trained with one leg at a time and I did it slowly.

Looking for benefits of yoga

My dreams and goals this summer along with regular fitness was to take pilates and yoga into my training programme. Yes, I have taken pilates regularly, almost once a week whole summer. It is actually very challenging, it really is not only lying on a matress. I love the feeling in my abdomen after the pilates session. It feels like several centimeters would have disappeared from my midbody in one hour! Also other parts of my body get their share almost each pilates session. But yoga... the inspiration for that was short. Read more

The norwegian summer has been terrible, so it will be great to get a tan and to chill out.

So from this fall we will have girls compeeting for my gym. Read more

Back where I belong

It's been six tough weeks for me, not being able to do what I love the most. But this week I got some fantastic news, I am well enough to workout! I was so happy I felt like I could fly and went diretctly to the gym. It feels so good to be back where I belong! I have to make slow progress in order for my body to adapt to working out again, but every step is a step in the right direction. I have been so lucky to have great people and sponsors around me for support and to keep my head up the past weeks. Read more
