Gym tips


These few last months we have been doing leg day on Sunday. Normally Monday is leg day, but monday is ALWAYS crowded since everyone is trying to get into bikini shape.

Vaihdettiin maanantain jalkapäivä sunnuntaihin sillä maanantaisin sali on niin täynnä että hyvä jos pääsee treenaamaan ollenkaan :) Sunnuntai on ihanan hiljainen joten kehtaa myös ottaa vähän kuvia :P




I wanted to share some of my leg excercises.

SQUAT:

We usually start with the basic squats in a few different positions in the Smith machine.

Aloitamme yleensä kyykkyjen eri variaatioilla Smith laitteella.






Next, LEG PRESS in Smith:

This is one of my favourite, since you can put fairly heavy weights, and the movement takes precisely where it should :) Again in the Smith machine, I really need one at home <3

First we do one leg at a time and then we add weights to do it with both legs.

Tämä on yksi lemppari liikkeistäni sillä siihen pystyy laittaa aika paljon painoja ja se tuntuu just oikeessa paikassa ;) Smith on mun suuri rakkaus, tarviin sen kotiin! <3

Ensin tehdään yksi jalka kerralla, ja sitten lisätään painoja ja tehdään molemmilla jaloilla.








Next, basic LEG PRESS:
Basic leg press in two variations.

Perus jalkaprässi kahtena variaationa.




Mostly we follow a specific training program, but sometimes we do some variations. I think it is important to do squats almost every day, if not at the gym, then at home.

Me tehdään yleensä treenit saman kaavan mukaan, mutta yritetään välillä tehdä joitakin muutoksia ja kokeilla uusia liikkeitä. Pyrin tekemään kyykkyjä melkein joha päivä. Jos en salilla niin sitten kotona käsipainoilla.


Always happy after the gym!

Aina iloinen salitreenin jälkeen!

Gym Endorphines


After a two months break in training at the gym it's been a pleasure to bee back. Im starting to remember how good it feels after a nice gym set, and how it feels to walk with sore leg muscles :). I aim to go to the gym three times a week, and to once a week do some other kind of exercise, mostly dancing or yoga. For a long time I used to dance approximately 4 times a week for several hours. Nowadays I just don't have the time anymore...

The other day at the gym when we did chest. 





















My small eights... 


I have been training at the gym for about four years, and I am not training for any fitness competition, just for excercise. I think it is important to be active in different ways and eat real normal food to look and feel good.

I also believe in the benefits of water! ...drink a LOT! :D
