Deze goddelijke Zweedse chick inspireert jou om te gaan sporten

Linn Lowes. Onthoud haar naam. Of nog beter: volg haar op Instagram. Deze Zweedse fitgirl heeft 1,4 miljoen volgers op Insta. Maar waarom?

Haar verhaal is uniek. Lowes is 2 jaar ernstig ziek geweest. Ze had namelijk 'maligne lymfoom', een vorm van kanker in haar bloed. Toen ze aan het overleven was, kwam ze erachter hoe belangrijk gezondheid wel niet is. Nu is Lowes gelukkig hersteld en zit ze heel vaak in de sportschool. Ze is misschien wel verslaafd. Lowes noemt zichzelf ook een fitnessjunkie. Haar doel is ook om anderen te inspireren. Nou, dat lukt wel.

KICKBACKS ❗️ Most of us do love them and there’s endless variations to try! Here’s some difference between the kicks that might have you interested! 1️⃣ Side Kicks - This exercise will make your glutes, quads and a lil’ hamstring work. When I’m doing these sideway kicks I push the weight from the side and not straight back. By doing so it allow me to have my hip and back fixed so I can really concentrate on
working my glute muscles. But remember; As you bend and straighten your knee joint, you will work your quads pretty much here. 2️⃣ Donkey Kicks - This is a very good exercise to really isolate your glutes. Why? Because your knee joint is fixed and therefor not moving. Yes, you’ll involve your hamstrings a tiny bit when you statically squeeze the barbell but thats it. 
3️⃣ Kickbacks w/ straight leg the whole movement - here you’ll isolate your glutes since your knee joing aint moving. It’s important to keep lower back fixed and make sure that your glutes do all the work in the movement. 4️⃣ Kickbacks w/ bent to straight knee - This one will, as the side kicks, also work your quads since you bend your knee and push during the movement. When you straighten out your leg your quads will get involved. Your hamstring works together with your glutes as you extend your legs and hip joint. Hope you learned something from this video! 💪 Until next time, love you! ❤️ fueled by @womensbest ofc!! See you at FIBO soon!!

Did you hit a plateau when it comes to building muscles? You’re not alone! This is very common and almost everyone will get there at some point. When you first start going to the gym results come quick! Within 6-12 months you’ll see a huge difference! (Even faster for if your training for weight loss) But then what? No one can keep building at the same pace as the first year. Your body gets used to the way you put it to work basically. BUT; there’s some tricks you can add in your workouts to get your body out of that comfort zone and start growing again. 💜 1. The most common rep range for growth is 8-12 reps. That means you should use a weight that allows you to do 8 reps but you should struggle with 10-11 and not be able to do 12,5. If you can do 12-13-15, up your weights! 💜 2. Dropset is when you start a exercise heavy and then little by little drop the weight until you can’t do any more reps. 💜 3. Superset is when you perform one exercise and then jump straight into another one with zero rest in between. 💜 4. High reps. Even tho we build better with 8-12 reps it’s great to add some sessions now and then with high reps. Use a weight that allows you to do 15-25 reps. The last reps should always be painful! No pain no gain 😏😆 personally I like to do high reps on exercise that doesn’t allow heavy load like cable kickbacks, cable pull through and such like. 💜 5. 7-7-7: Do 7 half reps (50%) from the bottom up to 90c~ish and then another 7 half reps at the top down to 90c~ish and finish with 7 full range reps. No rest between! This can be applied to almost every exercise (doesn’t need to be biceps). Incorporate some of these above in your workout schedule every second or third week if you feel you hit a plateau and need a change! ❤️💪

This might be the least exciting video I’ve shared so far but still important to talk about. The reason intervals and other high intense training forms are so popular to share on instagram is because they are fun to watch, moves quickly and gets your heart pumping. I’m not saying they’re not good but there’s also other kind of fatburn methods that’s equally as good or even better for some. Just because you’re not able to jump around or run like crazy doesn’t mean you can’t burn fat. My ABSOLUTE FAVORITE FATBURN METHOD right now is incline treadmill walks. (Used to be stairmaster 🤫). 👐 I put it on MAX incline - Speed 5 (I know this is different outside Europe but this video is in its natural speed so you get a hint on how fast I’m walking anyway). And I walk for 30-60 minutes depending on my weight lifting workout that day. I like to combine abs or calves with fatburn cardio - or, if I just had a number of cheating days which tend to happens once in a while 😸👋 👐 First it feels like a walk in the park but after 12-15 minutes I start sweating like a pig without my heartbeat going thru the roof. I try to stick around 125-140. At this speed I can still get shit done. Like watching @nikkiblackketter try my workouts on her YouTube. Lol!! After a while it will feel like your legs and glutes are about to catch fire - place your hands on the monitor and lean back to take away some force on your legs. Just 10-30sec is enough, then let go and keep walking without holding on to anything again. 👐 My best tips on getting a fatburn sess go quick by is: 1. Watch YouTube videos the same length as your session in minutes or create a playlist with a few shorter once in advance. 2. Catch up on your favorite podcast. 3. Watch a short move. 4. Listen to motivational music and answer emails. 😁👋 Work x 2! I actually enjoy this time catching up on both videos, emails and podcast I never have the time to do otherwise. Try it!! I guarantee fat melt & sweat if done on regular basis - and ofc you can speed it up with a cleaner diet. 😊🍴 Song: KISS it better - @r3habmusic remix
