Do you train your core with the right moves for your goals and your body fitness level suitable for you?

Here is a video about how to do Crunches, eccentric sit-ups, weighted crunches & Leg raises on the floor:

Let´s go over the core training basics for building stronger muscles without ruining your lower back.

FAQ about training your abs: how often should you train core? It depends on your goals, your fitness level and what kind of core work you do.

Beginners: Commit to 5 days a week to stimulate your muscles regularly so there is enough reason for your muscles to adapt.

Beyond Beginners: 2-6 days a week, but without doing tons of ab work daily!

You won't get leaner per se by training your abs. To build a defined core you need to make the muscles thicker combined with a decrease in body fat.

Your muscle definition will start kicking in when you've been consistent with your diet plan designed to result in more muscle definition.

To start with a solid core routine: make a plan, do the plan for 6 weeks without falling off the plan.

If you feel lost and don't know what to do: follow along with my core training videos.

I record them for you so you just train with me instead of trying to create a program for yourself!

Hello Superstars! Happy Monday to you all!

It's time to go over the essential principles of Fighterdiet again.

I coach my VIP clients and groups in the daily practice of defeed 2 refeed protocol.

There is no starting over, we just keep going.

I appreciate that you take the time to watch my coaching lessons so we can speed up results:

Get lean with Fighterdiet Defeed 2 Refeed system!

Master fasting and feasting to master cravings.

Lose body fat by eating more not less.

I teach you the golden principle of Fighterdiet: prevent overeating by overeating.

Fighterdiet is a lifestyle and a mindset, not just a powerful nutrition strategy for fitness body transformation.

Fighterdiet is the only diet I can stick to, because it is solves the core problem with diets, resisting temptations and prevent self-sabotage.

With Fighterdiet you learn how to enjoy your diet and use your self-knowledge about when you need to eat for satiety, and when you can skip wasting time on eating a meal.

When you understand how POBO works and start practicing the daily defeed 2 refeed get lean routine you build a healthy and happy relationship to nutrition and your diet.

You might see dietitians and nutritionist refer to their nutrition guidance as science-evidenced and non-diet.

The scientific evidence I care about is the evidence of my work with clients who succeed at achieving a healthy body weight long term, manage maintaining a healthy body composition consistently, and understanding how to relearn how to eat well, not eat less or nothing.

As your coach and trainer I teach you how to win at fat loss by investing in your concept of what diet is. Diet in latin means way of life.

A healthy diet is essential for a healthy body and a healthy mind.

There is more to life than complying with a diet plan you don't even like, that is why I welcome you to rethink all you've learned from your life on a yoyo diet.

Fighterdiet provides freedom from diet marketing and allows you to embrace a love for eating and wanting to thrive in life.

I welcome you to start the Fighterdiet Defeed 2 Refeed Practice with me, the intervals will keep you satisfied with no end, the after diet life I call Fighterdiet Nirvana is here, in this life to enjoy.

Take the time to sit down to tune in and reflect upon the lessons I provide for you here.

You can't rush diet epiphanies, but with true desire to change and transform your body you start with the right lessons.

This is why you're here to learn Fighterdiet.

This training session combines work for triceps, core and my ultimate hip strengthening routine.

I've had that chronic stiffness in my front thighs for about two years or so without knowing what's causing it!

No matter how much I foam rolled, trained my hip flexors or stretched them, looked for pressure points or adhesions, nothing seemed to do the trick.

Typically I noticed the stiffness when trying to stretch my quads or hip flexors. It just did not feel right!

Then, one day I thought hey, let's work on my hip extension power from a rectus femoris standpoint! Wow, I was so weak! And then I noticed my muscles relax and feel loose and supple! I was ecstatic!!

How come the reverse Nordics worked like a charm? The rectus femoris goes through a very intense stretch in the eccentric phase, then it gotta contract to return to the top. The unique thing about the rectus femoris is the fact it is the only quad muscle that runs over the hip.

Now I feel like brand new in the front hips area, I feel more solid in my squats and my hamstring on the left is now calm and healed up again.

I love this. I love to learn and to keep figuring my body out. When there is a new pain or setback, I keep looking to find the reasons.

And this is why you are here too, to get more tips and help you probably experience at some point in your training life just like I do!

Here’s a quick guide for my clients so you can find what you’re looking for!

Thank you for your patience, understanding and support for what I’m building bit by bit every day.

Hello Superstars,

It's Sunday and I have the Sunday Blues even though I do my 10 min Laughter sessions in bed every morning.

It takes real commitment for me to not go down and feel sad for no reason! Now let's go over something important about training techniques.

The upper back is the body area that requires the greatest technical skills of them all.

You might have seen my young self do pull-ups and pull-downs with poor attention to perfect form, and now this is what you think is the correct way to train to gain strength and muscle mass in the upper back.

Don't get fooled by seeing obvious muscle mass being activated in my muscle training: of course the muscles are working, but how well and how efficient?

The gym rat style of pushing down on pull-downs and pull-ups is a pet peeve of mine nowadays. I know that is how I´d tear my shoulders sooner or later.

I already did tear both my shoulders, one of those times was doing pull-ups on my 40 years birthday! What a great gift, this challenge to rebuild my torn rotator cuff transformed my back training.

In my work as coach and fitness trainer I host form check sessions and technique workshops. I meet my clients on ZOOM, WhatsApp or Google Meet to practice how to lift to gain strength and muscle.

Why does safe training becomes a necessity as you grow older? Your joints won't let you get away with sloppy form anymore!

Why do many clients resist relearning and feel that decades of training means you have nothing to improve upon for better gains? There is a lot of pride and fear of judgment, nobody wants to be a beginner! It is ridiculous and it limits self-growth and muscle growth.

Another reason for resistance to relearn how you lift is not being aware of the lack of proper form.

The way we train when we're young is not the way we keep training for life, that is for sure.

So...If you just like me notice your body says no to lifting if you're not focused on how you do it, then you have two choices:

Either relearn to keep training and building... Or keep getting strains, aches or injured in the same areas over and over!

Hello Superstars!

It is Friday again! I just came back from a fantastic leg workout.

When training is great life feels like a dream!

Another thing that feels dreamy is my upcoming refeed delight tonight. 

I love that I look forward to every meal I eat, for both defeed and refeed.

I remember long long time ago when I had no control over my impulses, couldn't trust myself around temptations.

It was terrifiying to know that in this moment right now I could be motivated and committed to stay on plan to reach my fitness goals, but then the next moment motivation had changed and now I didn't follow my plan at all.

I hated not being able to trust myself! I was anxious about not being in my routine at home where I had full control over my eating and training.

This was in my 20's. It took me years of continuous discipline and mindset mastery practice to find that freedom from self sabotage and undulating motivation.

Today and every day I feel gratitude for my willingness to keep on chiseling my mindpower so I could have the balance and joy of self trust and satisfaction of being able to thrive daily without impatience or feeling like I am missing out.

It is the greatest gift to know exactly what questions to ask myself to slow down my thoughts and avoid falling for the typical "last cheat day then never again" mentality of diet culture.

I would not be able to keep my body lean and strong without Fighterdiet & my POBO program.

I am so thankful for having had that diet problem of wanting to eat too much but not look it! This diet struggle became my brainchild solution, my fitness body diet problem became my diet program.

I am grateful that I refused to follow the rest of fitness competitors and fitness models who just "sucked it up" and tried to accept to be hungry and hangry forever.

Now to you who are here with me, let me just encourage you to keep showing up for yourself, to keep on pursuing what makes you happy, at ease and in love with life:

10 Self Love things for my Superstars

  1. You are everything you need, you have a body and a mind to chisel with no deadline or stress to reach some finish line. This is a lifestyle you practice.

  2. Embrace being a forever 'working on myself' person, it means you understand this is an eternal thing we do to grow and evolve!

  3. You have nothing to prove to anyone, it's all about you! Your body does not need to look like your fitness dream body to BE your dream body. Your body is GOOD the way it is, so accept it and give your body the love it deserves.

  4. Stress less and slow down. There is no before and after competition and your body is your home, build it strong for a long happy life.

  5. Always be open to relearn all you know. It's easy to end up limiting ourselves when we hold on to outdated dreams, ideas and concepts. 

  6. Never let pride stop you from adapting to what life serves you, you are courageous and a powerful being, remember that.

  7. Take criticism and rejection from people who do not want you to change or transform. Listen to your heart and dare to follow that path YOU feel is right for you.

  8. Accept yourself for your past and for all the times in life you didn't know how to cope or manage. 

  9. Appreciate yourself and give yourself attention, this only you can do, nobody else. You must want to be kind and understanding unconditionally, not just on your days of perfect behavior.

  10. And last one... Enjoy every moment of living life, even the toughest ones, because from an objective standpoint you can't ever go wrong or mess up, you can only learn.

Things I'm planning on for YOU my clients:

Messenger/WhatsApp phone call standby list: I will announce the weekly coach hour when I call you up for a 5 min one on one chat. I hope this will motivate you!

Form Checks Album for July: I'm inviting you to upload 30 seconds form check videos to the facebook group for my coaching.

You will have 5-6 weeks to record your lifts and I will then go over them with my coach feedback.

It's important that we keep all we do together free of stress and provide adequate time to record, upload, plan for recordings etc.

Lastly, I would love to schedule a ZOOM call for ALL CLIENTS enrolled so you can meet me and get help and support straight from your coach Pauline Nordin.

It would be great to know if you want to attend a call, what week day in July and time frame in EDT (Eastern Standard Time).

Books & Programs: I offer ebooks and fitness transformation challenge books for my clients enrolled, if you need a program I will make it happen. Just give me time to provide it for you.

I noticed that all clients who initially wanted a bunch of ebooks never got to the downloading part, and when I asked why it was due to ending up overwhelmed, not knowing what diet plan or workout program to pick, so then it all became a block in the mind and...no progress, no training and no results.

This means I need to lead better to prevent self defeat from wanting 1000 pages to read and then having no energy or time to read 1000 pages and absorb it to implement it all....

My solution is to have a monthly focus book I add in resources for my clients so you know every month there is a new book to be excited about!

Let's do it now, with the MAY BOOK free gift to you all:

The Fighterdiet Cuts & Gainz Challenge book!

You will find it in your resources!

Wow, this was a huge update huh!!!

All my love to YOU amazing people, I love that you are here with me!

See you Monday when I welcome you for a new week!

Until then, 

Superstars, Thank you for being YOU.

Thank you for joining the Women Only Facebook group I opened for us to meet and stay connected in.

Thank you for sharing about my coaching and training services, I appreciate it so much!

The best gift is to be able to train to gain!

Here I share about my leg gains victory and squat comeback this year, when these moments hit I feel like I can die today happily and at peace with everything.

I outline my Defeed 2 Refeed Routine and what I do to prepare for my Refeed enjoyment window, how I manage the empty bowl syndrome I can experience during the refeed delight.

The refeed experience now vs in my earlier fitness life, the all or nothing mentality, how to manage and stop at the perfect time in the refeed, what the feeling is I know is spot on for progress not sabotaging myself.

How to stop the enjoying before overdoing it, how to keep to your plan, how to assure your mind there's no reason to exceed and eat too much, you'll get to enjoy again.

Without refeeds defeed would not be ideal for me, I want to earn my reward AND have it on plan.

For you who are still in a self sabotage routine, hang in there, keep practicing and learn more and more every day in the Fighterdiet life!

Women who lift together stay strong and happy together!

We got history, superstars!

Through the ups and downs of life we keep choosing each other.

We know there will be times where it's challenging to show up and be yourself, without fear of judgment or criticism.

We all know we are connected for a reason and we embrace our unique selves, we don't try to be copies of each other.

We choose to show up and keep growing, evolving and live the best lives in a safe space exclusively for women.

As your coach, trainer and friend who would never have been in your life unless you found me or I found you online, let me express my why I, the lone wolf, care about you who give me the honor and privilege to be in your presence and get to know you:

I love the daily practice, I love helping others find their own version of my fitness life philosophy.

I love to eat and I'd hate to be part of the diet and body perfection culture that never seems to want to EAT, just try not to and it keeps on failing anyway.

I love NOT tracking macros like it's the solution to find a healthy balance, why on earth keep up the routine of that to show your diet journal is spot on, or missing entries?

I love to feel GOOD about my body and live the fit feeling.

I feel it's a true waste of joy for training and eating to keep dreaming about that day in the future where I'm going to have a perfect body, because you won't be happy nor content unless you embrace reality: your body is not for ever, better take care of it the best you can and want.

I have so much in my daily life I do that most fitness people who are stuck in yoyo dieting and extreme training programs with no end and no real long lasting results never get to:

Easier workouts!
Smarter workouts!
Meditation!
Mobility!
Slower walks not always busy on powerwalks!
More time for rest and self reflection!
More time achieving the RDI for joy 10 min laughter every day!
Less looking at a weak body spot and more look at your strengths!
More care about health: without it we have no body to train or build anyway!
A desire to train for you, not to compare with others.'
A desire to let go of starting over on a stupid diet plan.
A desire to want to trust yourself and be proud of yourself.

I could go on, but this is why I coach my women and want you to know that all you believe is flawed or signs of weaknesses, the way you assume I feel you should "know how to eat by now, know how to train since you've been working out for decades" and you should just DO IT, doesn't have to feel good, just DO it.

You are wrong about that!
You often think too much about what I think!

Here's to the best times to come every day day in day out together!

SEIZE THE TRAINING DAY, Superstars!!!

Gaining Muscle & Body Acceptance:

I'm sharing my bodybuilding journey with you so you know the mind it takes to not succumb to 'remain the same'.

How do I handle feeling fatter? Why do I not stress about it?

Natural bodybuilding vs 'whatever people choose' and my life philosophy about tolerance and respecting individual choices.

How I feel about the fear of aging, women's bodies being the forever target in marketing to make you jump on the same wagon as the rest....

And that I feel proud for what I'm doing, the way I lead YOU in self acceptance, HAPPY strong life, my body ideals, motivations and being grateful to BE here.
