That’s What Friends Are For

It helps my training a lot if I have a good workout partner.  It’s more fun and you always have somebody who you can count on. So no excuses: Just meet up and team up!friends
I’m lucky to have my good friend Eniko Mihalik in town. We always workout a lot when I’m in NYC. She’s in Copenhagen for a month to visit her boyfriend Mathias Zanka Jørgensen.

Start with a 5-10 minute light jog to warm up. 60 second sprint 60 second walk repeat 15 times.

A walking lunge is a lunge while taking successive steps forward. Try to keep your front knee at a 90 degree angle for a full range of movement. Don’t let your back knee touch the ground, but go as low as you can. Do 30 of them, repeat 3 times. Remember to keep a good posture, and don’t forget to take water breaks between exercises.

Tricep dips are a great way to tone your arms. You can do this almost anywhere at the park on a bench, or even at home, using a chair. Make sure to keep your lower back close to the object you are using. For those, who like a little challenge, life one leg at a time during the dip. Do 3 rounds of 15.

You can also do your sit-ups together. Lie down feet to feet…

…and when you sit up, twist  and touch the opposite of each others shoulders. Switch sides each time. Do this 90 times, with 3 breaks in between.

plank

Wait for that “Beautiful Pain” of sore abs the next day. U never regret a plank! Hold it for a minute, rest for 30 seconds, repeat it 3 times.

If you still have it in you, go ahead and turn your body into a side plank. Your feet should be stacked on top of each other. Do this also for 30 seconds, then switch sides, and break. Repeat 2 times.

Stretching is a quick and natural way to bring new life into tired legs by improving circulation and preventing muscles from tightening up too much. Don’t be afraid to go like hell if you finish with a stretch.

    Super inspiration!
    Hvad spiser du typisk inden træning, og hvor lang tid inden spiser du?

      Mange tak, det er jeg virkelig glad for :) Jeg spiser helst 2-3 timer før træning, og så gerne en 1/2 banan eller noget kulhydrat ca. 45 min. inden.
