Fitness Influencer Linn Lowes in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Bodyweight Circuit"
Linn Lowes, a successful fitness influencer, recently shared a motivating workout video on Instagram, sporting bright yellow workout gear while performing some of her favorite bodyweight exercises. "Let's go! 🫵🏼🌤️Always loved these bodyweight circuits, especially in the sunset light!" she captioned the post. Linn emphasizes that you don't need fancy gym equipment to get a great workout and boost your mood through exercise. Whether it's lunges, glute kickbacks, or RDLs, Lowes is proof that simple, effective exercises are key to staying in shape. Here's a look at her top fitness habits that help her stay strong and healthy.
She Does Lunges
Lowes loves to do lunges to stay in shape. In her Instagram video, she is seen doing reverse lunge crunches and jumping lunges. ACE Fitness states that since lunges are a unilateral training exercise, they have a lot of benefits. "Unilateral training is a more effective way to build functional strength (than using both legs) because these types of movement mimic other everyday motions, like walking and climbing stairs — and not just to the working leg. Research suggests the strength gains to the nonworking side are about half of the strength gains of the working side."
She Does Glute Kickbacks
Lowes does a lot of lower body workouts. One thing she likes to do is glute cable kickbacks. Lowes shared this video on Instagram of herself doing them. She captioned the post, "My key tips for targeting glute max & glute med with cable kickbacks! Both really good, I do them both frequently. 💪🏼 1️⃣ Glute Max – the biggest of your glute muscles. Turn toes out, heel in – lean forward as much as you can, hold onto the cable machine for stability and kick backwards with a slight angle. 2️⃣ Glute Med – Sits both underneath and slightly higher than your glute maximus. Lean forward, step over the cable with your non working leg, turn heel outwards on your working leg and kick in a cross movement."
She Uses Weights
Lowes likes to use weights when she works out. She shared her approach in the caption of this Instagram post. "I used to train more like this in the beginning of my fitness journey then I transferred into more sets and fewer exercises. Now I'm back to enjoying both! Lots of exercises with light/medium weights, slow motions, lots of mindful muscle connection leaves your muscles exhausted. It's so nice to work ut a sweat using weights from time to time! I never get sweaty moving heavy weights.."
She Does RDLs
Lowes likes to do RDLs to stay in shape. She revealed in this Instagram video that she likes to use them with a cable weight instead of a barbell. Lowes captioned it, "RDL's with the cable instead of a barbell – yesss, I'm a bit obsessed! Started doing these after thousands RDL's with a barbell because my lower back felt a bit fried. The setup is important however! Keep these 2 key points in mind if you decide to try it. 1. You must stand on something elevated to keep the cable stretched at all times. 2. You must be suuuuper close to the cable machine so the weight comes from beneath you and NOT in front of you. I also like to have a slightly wider stance than I usually have in a RDL movement. (Personal preference!) Save & Try!"
She Values Exercise
Lowes naturally values exercise. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. "Training has been a huge thing for me during good times and bad times. It truly is medicine for your body mind and soul. I honestly don't know where I'd be today without training because that's one of the major things that made me jump out of bed when all I wanted to do was pull the curtains down and sleep for days."
