Anna Nystrom in Two-Piece Workout Gear is Looking "Strong"

Anna Nystrom is a model and influencer. She is known for sharing a lot of posts from the gym. Last month, Nystrom shared some gym photos on her Instagram page. In them, she is seen wearing a white bra top and gray pants. Looking "strong," say her fans. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Anna Nystrom stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Goes To The Gym Regularly

Nystrom has a whole Instagram story highlight dedicated to exercise. Naturally, this means she works out on a regular basis. The Mayo Clinic states that this has health benefits. “Regular trips to the gym are great, but don't worry if you can't find a large chunk of time to exercise every day. Any amount of activity is better than none. To gain the benefits of exercise, just get more active throughout your day. For example, take the stairs instead of the elevator or rev up your household chores. Consistency is key.”

2. She Does Squats

Nystrom likes to do squats to keep herself fit. She revealed that she does them in one story in her Instagram highlight. ACE Fitness states that squats have a lot of benefits. “If you had to choose just one exercise to help clients improve strength, power and core stability all in one move, you’d probably choose the squat. That’s why many consider the squat to be the king of all exercise moves. In addition to working the quadriceps, a proper squat recruits muscle fibers from the hamstrings and glutes. It also forces the core to engage and the upper body to stabilize, making it a nearly total-body exercise.”

3. She Walks

Nystrom revealed in the caption of this Instagram post, that she likes to go for walks. The Mayo Clinic states that walking has a lot of health benefits. “Regular brisk walking can help you: Maintain a healthy weight and lose body fat. Prevent or manage various conditions, including heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, cancer and type 2 diabetes. Improve cardiovascular fitness. Strengthen your bones and muscles. Improve muscle endurance. Increase energy levels.”

4. She Cooks

Nystrom cooks a lot of healthy meals. She shares some of her favorite recipes in another Instagram story highlight. Harvard Health states that cooking can help you eat better. “The more people cook at home, the healthier their diet, the fewer calories they consume, and the less likely they are to be obese or develop type 2 diabetes. A growing body of scientific evidence supports teaching patients how to cook meals at home as an effective medical intervention for improving diet quality, weight loss, and diabetes prevention.”

5. She Likes Salmon

In one of her recipes on her Instagram story highlight, Nystrom enjoys salmon with veggies for dinner. Safe Beat states that the fish is very good for you. “Salmon is an excellent food source for the heart and brain. Medical studies have found that taking 0.45 to 4.5 grams of omega-3 fatty acids can significantly improve heart function, lower blood pressure, and reduce inflammation. The fish also contributes to cognitive health due to the presence of DHA—a type of omega-3 fatty acid.”

Jen Widerstrom is a fitness expert and podcaster. She is currently training with gladiators. Wiederstrom shared her secrets for staying motivated in a video on Instagram. In it, she is seen on a treadmill. Widerstom says in the video, “I don't want to be here. Want to be here, be here, but come anyways. I'm not homesick because I'm loving every minute here with our pierce, but time is weird. I've got enough in my system to feed a small horse. I miss my bed. I miss the people I care about. But the one thing that always makes me feel better is a gym. I'm going to walk for 10 minutes. I'm going to pick up something heavy, move it slow, move it well, and then go have breakfast with the rest of the gladiators. Lots of protein, lots of water, lots of coffee, and the world will be right again. Just didn't want you guys to think I was perfect.”

1. She Uses A Treadmill

In her Instagram post, Widerstrom is seen on a treadmill. According to Healthy Talbot, this has a lot of benefits. “Treadmill working is an aerobic/ cardio exercise. Studies demonstrate that aerobic exercise can minimize the risk of heart diseases. Moreover, they can strengthen your heart muscles. This helps to lower blood pressure and allows the heart to pump blood more efficiently. Most doctors recommend aerobic exercise to people suffering from cardiovascular diseases.”

2. She Strength Trains

Widerstom shares a lot of fitness tips on Instagram. She shared three in this post’s caption. In it, she revealed that she does a lot of strength training. “Heavy Strength Training. You need to push your effort to an 8 or 9/10 RPE (rate of perceived exertion) in your lifting sessions, 2-3x weekly. (🧐Do you have a strength program yet? Let me know below.)”

3. She Eats Protein

In the same post’s caption, Widerstrom talked about her diet. She revealed that she eats a lot of protein. “Consistency in Protein. Thanks to trailblazing research by @drstacysims we now know that women NEED 1.8-2.2g of protein per kilo of their bodyweight throughout EACH DAY and ideally 40g of that protein is consumed within 30 minutes of completing your workout!”

4. She Takes Care Of Her Gut

Widerstrom also revealed in the previous post that she prioritizes her gut health. “Feeding My Microbiome. Believe it or not, your gut health is responsible for generating hormones that regulate your metabolism keeping you at a leaner body composition, building muscle, optimize bone density, and even supports your sleep quality! To begin to build a better relationship with your Microbiome, focus on consuming 25g fiber from plants DAILY. Try zucchini, cucumber, mushrooms, spinach, green peas, cauliflower.”

5. She Works Her Arms

Widerstrom shared her favorite arm workout in this Instagram video. She captioned it, “My ☝️ favorite arm combo for creating hard but *not bigger* arm muscles! 5 ROUNDS of: 6-10x Half-rep Tricep Push ups. SS. 10-12x Triple-pump Banded Curls. SS. 60-90sec REST. YOU SHOULD BE GASSED by the end of this!! And if you’re not, it means you need to go slower on your push-ups (keep those 90° angles in your elbows) and heavier on your bands while still hitting full extension of your biceps after every third pump!!”
