Hello, superstars!This is my first note taker Ai app where I'm gonna have the way to give you tips, fitness, healthy, eating, training. So right now, I want to share my upcoming leg day routine. I've been training heavy and built up strength in my squat and my Nordic curls for the last two months, and now I notice that I kind of don't look forward to cardio, and I know that I need to train some kind of intense cardio to keep my vo2 Max, and that matters to me. So what I'm gonna do when I return to training now is to do my 90 second squats with speed, as in, not going slow and eccentric, and then use the max amount of weight I can do with that 90 seconds, and then I'm going to build it up to 10 sets of squats. And the reason why I have it 90 seconds, it's like running a 400 meter sprint, so I can kind of push it. I want to see what happens to my leg size with that. It means that the total load is going to be greater, but the absolute load on the bar is going to be less. I feel much safer in knees and hips and pretty much my lower back too. When I reduce the weight and then go for more speed. I love the pump it gives me for Nordic curls, that is my mainstay, instead of deadlifts. And I'm working on 10 sets of that, doing different eccentrics, different poor man glute, hem rays versions and so on. So in my current schedule, where I train legs twice a week, I also have my dedicated glute training, and I want to share with that with you. I've been building up with glute thrust, bilateral glute thrust with band, and I do the band to stop hyperextension on the top. And I've been doing five sets up with 220 pounds and with excellent form, but I feel that when I do the sets of 15-20, it's much tougher. That means I want to use that to have less absolute weight and work harder. So coming back now, I'm gonna do my higher rep training and put that into my weekly routine. 10 sets, I'm building that up. My glute extension power needs to be worked on. I have a lot of hip strength to improve on, especially an extension in my glute training, I have my banded fire hydrants that I got bored of and did the laying down on chest, back and forth move With my flexed knee and hip or actually extended, but that got bored of that too. So now I'm gonna do the clam and also do clam walk, gorilla style with band, alternating left and right, and that too with band. My point with this is to let yourself have fun with the training. I am no way interested in hearing my own body shaming like a bodybuilder all those years of never being really happy, always too skinny or too scrawny when I'm lean, I feel too thin. When I'm fatter, then I feel too big, then that's something wrong. So no matter what, right, never happy, and I'm over that. I think it's ridiculous. I train for the Fit feeling, and I period eyes the way I train. I've been training heavy for a while. Not all the time.I never quit. I just find a new way periodization, like an athlete without a sport but a life to live!And when I feel that, when I look at my body, or I, you know, take photos or film, and I know that I am lean and I am dense and I am so called thin, but pound for pound, I'm muscular, and if I'm not, it doesn't matter anyway, this is what I tell myself, here’s my point. I am over letting my mind think even have an opinion about how my body looks. I live healthy. I train focused, I enjoy my day. That always wins. I am not an on and off, yo yo, diet person. I am consistent because I love it. So with that said, I want you to kind of get a feeling of my intuitive and flexible strength training philosophy so now you know what I'm doing. I would love to know, what are you challenging yourself with? What are your hiccups? Or do you just go for walks? If you think that's all I do, I don't, but today was so thank you so much for reading my words of life & self reflection. I look forward to these blogs that make me more efficient with voice to text as my routine to share my life with you!Come connect with me in my private fitness community for women who I lead and coach!paulinenordin.uscreen.io

Mindful Monday Motivation Message!

Coach Pauline shared a personal motivation message about managing Monday anxiety through an anti-depression routine that includes focusing on breath, gratitude, meditation, and yoga nidra.

Pauline emphasized that while fitness body transformation challenges can provide an initial rush, the real value comes from maintaining a consistent, mindful practice rather than seeking constant highs, comparing it to the difference between a romantic fling and a lasting partnership.

Effort and Care in Fitness:

Coach Pauline discussed the importance of putting effort and care into fitness routines to avoid boredom and instant gratification.

Pauline emphasized the value of intrinsic motivation in self-improvement, highlighting the connection between mind, body, and self-relationship.

The coach also stressed the importance of healthy eating, strength training, and the realization that having a strong body is not a given right, but rather a result of conscious effort and care.

Empowering Self-Relationship and Mindfulness:

Coach Pauline expressed gratitude for her participant's genuine sharing and understanding, emphasizing her passion for helping others realize their potential and achieve happiness through self-relationship and mindful living.

Coac Pauline highlighted the importance of making right decisions for oneself and the value of being one's own best friend, while also acknowledging the need for external support when necessary.

Coach Pauline concluded by expressing happiness at being part of the participant's life journey.

Hello Monday!

Today’s workout is my 1000 reps 2 die 4 banded seated row routine. 

I love my one move workouts when I am training depressed or just feel unmotivated to train hard.

Instead of agonizing about my exercise laundry list to complete a “good workout” I minimize it to be a single focus session.

I just have to complete rep after rep and then it’s done! 

I feel these workouts truly help me stay productive during my lows of fitness life.

To have someone else lead the way truly helps. 

So let’s tag someone today who you want to motivate to do this with you!

If you don’t want to do 1000 reps with a band, just go through the motions with me!

Feeling burnt out from Social Media?

What do you DO when you depend on keeping your presence online to find your clients or keep your business alive?

Quick recap from RADIO PAULINE:

In this heartfelt and candid monologue, Pauline shared her deep frustration and exhaustion with the demands of social media promotion for her business.

She expressed the frequent tiredness of competing with larger accounts and platforms that prioritize generating wealth over personal connection. 

The coach explained her decision to step back from social media events to find more focus on building a more intimate community of clients who choose to work with her privately. 

Pauline emphasized her passion for helping others find self-happiness and personal growth through fitness and wellness, while choosing to distance themselves from the toxic aspects of social media and mass platforms.

Planche Pushups Practice time!

When I tore my shoulders I decided to change my pushup form to override my weaknesses and come back stronger.

After my shoulder rehab program and building up my body's ability to use my shoulders I fell in love with the planche style pushups.

The difference is the shift of body weight over your body instead of doing pushups where the hands line up with your lower chest.

I do my beginner work to build up to a real planche knowing I'll never be abe to DO real planche pushups.

Why? I'm not training with only one focus, I also don't have the upper body strength required for it and it would likely aggravate the risk for injuries!

Follow along this workout and pay attention to how the difference in form is compared to regular military pushups.

If you get frustrated it's harder than you thought, remember, to be able to make a simple pushup a challenge is the way to grow more muscle!

Deep fry the buns glute workout that sucks so good and only 10 min long. 

This workout starts with hip circles for a proper warmup and then it's all about hip abductions.

When my piriformis acts up I know I have to go back to proper hip abduction focus for me.

The first exercise is straight leg horizontal hip abduction with the glute acting as the hinge. 

The second exercise is banded hip abduction with an isometric peak hold for 15 seconds.

The third exercise is alternating banded hip abductions while I'm resting on my forearms, after that I get up on my feet and use the bands for alternating hip abduction - extension hybrid moves. 

After this comes the exercise that sucks: the 1-10 reps marathon sets with band around the knees

And it keeps going...how can 10 minutes be so long?!

Face the wall squat with jog intra sets while my cat is looking at yourself in the mirror.

In the jogging I self motivate myself about how it's important to train on my own terms than to train in a way I don't enjoy it.

In the squat sets I use a towel to slide up and down towards the door.

Follow along my sets of 2 minutes jog with squats focusing on range of motion and mobility.

Triceps & Core Action Paralysis Remedy workout.

After warming up I do spider style triceps pushups on my knees superset with overhead skull crushers with a neutral grip.

In between triceps sets I do tall planks with a torso rotation alternating left & right.

I superset the triceps extensions and the planks, then it's time for one arm pushups to a bench with self support to be able to keep going.

As a finisher I do forearm to triceps plank pushups on my knees.

Muscle Yoga Core with no stop!

Muscle yoga requires a lot of focus because it's about mastering the mind with no external mood booster of music, it's silence and it's full focus on discipline! 

In this core workout I situps, boat situps, planks with isometric hip abduction for more oblique work. 

The planks are very advanced, do them on elbows if you need an easier version. 

Later into the workout I do ab press with dumbbell over head with isometric peak holds with slow descent.

After the press I do alternating leg raises and Russian twists and the finisher is the long planks on toes and hands!
