Jo's TRAINING!

At the moment is very different from what I usually do!

I invested time and money in a new PT - Which I can recommend to everybody!

If I had AL THE MONEY in the world - A PT would come very high up the list!
Cause just like you know - You need to take GOOD care of yourself in order to take care of others!

MY PT is very HONEST and sometimes honest can be tough to take - But hey that's why I hired and pick THAT PT!!!

So I thought that I would share what I am doing at the moment :)



We found out that my HIP Flexor was really tight and that my hamstrings are LONG - basically I am stretching the front of my legs and strengthening the back - hamstring on a ball works great for me at the moment!

Oh by the way - perhaps you wanna know my training goals :)
- Well - I don't get excited by numbers - FEELINGS excite me! I wanna feel all-round balanced and strong - LONG TERM! Last couple of years I've reached a plateau in my training - especially YOGA since that's what I tend to do most of the time!

I want to break things down and find my weak points - work with them - and the shoot for the moon :) (any way will do!)

As well as strengthening my hamstrings I am also working on connection with my low low abs - there is a centimetre or so where I feel ZERO connection. Sure I can pass by it without you noticing in most exercises but I feel that I am cheating!

Today's plan was legwork - but since my right foot isn't back in shape yet my FAB PT rearranged things and made me do PULL UPS in SO MANY ways!

My Program for the coming week is my "rehab" exercises + the PULL UP work!

Jihaaaaa - I am actually so excited about this kind of ISOLATED training - I've been doing so much "functional, full body" stuff for a long time and I can actually feel these isolated movements paying of already!

So - Summa Kardemumma - It is great to train "functional" - But make sure it is FUNCTIONAL to U!!!




My own clients are on there way and then packing for STHLM GLOBAL YOGA TT this evening!

Train leavs 0600 Friday.... Whoppa

A.M

MO:

I´ve found myself wondering several times over the last 11 months what I did with my training A.M (Anno Motherhood).

The time of your life when you have no one else to look after but yourself.

You have time in the morning.

You have time at lunch.

You have zillion of hours in the evening.

Sometimes you have full DAYS.

The difference is ginormous when you become a parent.

If I want to do morning training I have to wip myself out of bed before 7am to get a session in before P gets to work.

If I want to train at lunchtime I have 2 choices: go running with the buggy or wait for Robin to fall asleep and get a kettlebell session in.

If I want to train in the evening, it´s on borrowed family time. P doesn´t mind, but I try not to do too much evening training, since

I´m still travelling a lot at the weekends.

So, how to stay fit and how to stay on top being a toddler mum???

My runs have become shorter (but faster).

My gym sessions have become more focused and more structured.

I´ve stopped trying to do everything with the same priority. Now, each term will get its own special focus. I still crosstrain, but I allow myself to focus on fewer things.

I´d planned to do more of a yoga focus during the second half of the year, but I´m still heavily in love with lifting, so we´ll see...

The absolute guru of Olympic Weightlifting, Greg Everett is coming to Copenhagen in August and I would LOVE to do his course. It´s sold out at the moment (not surprised), and I´m booked for work in Stockholm during the same dates...

However, if this love of lifting lasts, I´ll make sure to bring P with me to visit his facility next time we´re in the States.
