Little to no equipment training. Right here! Let’s keep it up while the gyms are still closed. 💪🏽😁

Have you ever heard the phrase "your workout is my warm up?" Quite cocky for someone to say that. But it could be true.
So when I program deload, I program considering the level of past weeks workouts. Meaning that if you do the workouts mainly as prescribed, and that intensity and volume is good for you, then the deload will also fit you well.
But if you've had to scale the workouts to fit your current fitness level, you also have to scale the deload programs.
It's all a matter of where are you in your fitness level. Make sure that this week feels easier, only do the workouts if it makes sense for you. If you need a few days completely off from training, this is it! Give yourself rest, but remember, it's only there so you can be ready to ATTACK in the upcoming weeks!

Are you more of a CONDITIONING or a STRENGTH person?
We tend to favor what we’re better at, but keep fighting on what you’re not good, so then it’s not a matter of liking what we’re best at, it’s just liking everything. Liking the grind, the hard work, and everything that you have conquered!

Stay strong and be kind!

There are lots of different exercises that pop up in Our Shared Training workouts, some of them familiar to you, like back squats, push-ups and rowing. Some might be new, or you're a bit unsure of how they should be performed.
I've been making tons of Exercise Video Demos over the years and uploading them to my YouTube channel.

You the search bar in the channel to find a specific exercise and let me know if something is missing and I'll make sure that won't happen again!
Enjoy!

Are you an EVERYDAY ATHLETE?

I believe everyone should be an everyday athlete. (But then again, that is only my opinion because I like training a lot and don’t understand why others don’t). BUT, if you’re here, you are interested in improving your fitness, so I already consider you an EVERYDAY ATHLETE. Being ready for anything that life throws at you.

To be able to fight and come out successful in the everyday challenge of life. The biking to work, moving boxes from the basement, carrying kids, groceries and a dog all at the same time. But also to go on skiing trips, hiking, try out different activities and know that your body might come out sore, but it can take some beating. To be strong!

This is who I program for! General physical preparedness for the everyday athlete!

That being said, I LOVE competition, and I LOVE the new skills, heavy lifts, pushing limits. Sometimes I do that to myself, sometimes I just want to watch and help others do that themselves. And I LOVE to nerd out on how to improve fitness and be able to be competitive in whatever it is that you want to put yourself in.

WOD 2 this week has two versions, the EVERYDAY ATHLETE version and the FUNCTIONAL FITNESS ATHLETE version, where you will be testing out yourself in a few different movements, and gather data in order to, not only become fitter, but know how to best attack a workout and get the best result for that workout. So if you want to be competitive, I can help you out with that as well. You can definitely do Our Shared Training workouts, but that is just the start. Send me a message and let’s find out how I can help you to become a FUNCTIONAL FITNESS ATHLETE.

It’s Sunday evening, a new work week is about to begin. How are you gonna go about it. Will you let emails, calls and other duties take your time away from what’s most important to you? I’ve said it before, and I will say it again, SCHEDULE IN YOUR WORKOUTS. Don’t allow the busy flow of life, take your precious time away, do what you want first, set that time for yourself, and you’ll be much happier at the other end of the week.

I believe in you, and so should you. Get out there and crush it!

And do tell me how workout #4 went. That’s definitely my favorite from this week!

Let’s start the week off right! Four new workouts, fresh for you to do it! And I really mean do it, don’t just look at them, don’t just like them. Read the words, understand the workout, and put it into action!

Your goals are just dreams, until you write them down and put it into action. So what are your goals? And how can I help you with them?

14/10/2020

WORKOUT EXPLANATION!
Written workouts look like another language to you? Yeah it does take some time to get used to EMOMs, AMRAPs, etc.
Besides understanding the language, there is also the intention of the workout. All of which a trainer would explain in a PT session or group class.
So I’m giving you guys a little extra help with explaining one of this week’s workout.
Now go out there and rock it!
If you’re still confused, just send me a message!

The new training block is here!!! 🤩💪🏽
I’m always excited about a new training block. That being said, you don’t need to start training at the start if a block, or on Monday or even worse, in January. 📅
You can start now! You can re-start things up on a Tuesday, or in the middle of October. Your body doesn’t care about day, week or month. 😉
Just do it! Start with 7000 steps a day, with 2 workouts a week, with the shoes you have or the exercises you know. 🚶🏻‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🧘🏾‍♂️
That being said, if you’re looking to improve your health and fitness. Wether you’re just starting out, or ready to go to the next level. I can help you with that!
These workouts are a great starting place, but maybe you need scaling options. I got you covered! Or maybe you need something more specific? I got you there too! 🏋🏼🤸🏽‍♀️
Let me know how I can help you become a stronger version of yourself! 💪🏽
Have a great week!
- Ellen 👍🏽

Think of your body and health in the same way you plan out work, studies and other events in life - you set aside time for workouts, plan your meals, and keep account of what is working.

As a personal trainer, I'm always looking for different ways to help clients reach their goals and build a strong, healthy and happy body (as well as mind). This "Weekly Consistency Plan" is one way we can help you achieve your goals. You can choose to dedicate as much or as little time to it. We track what matters to you, and what is important for your progress.

Are you ready for it?
