Katrín Davíðsdóttir, a renowned CrossFit athlete, constantly motivates her followers by sharing her fitness journey on Instagram. Recently, she posted a video of herself applying sunscreen before embarking on a run, highlighting the importance of sun protection. In her caption, she expressed her joy about getting back into her training routine: "SO HAPPY to be training consistently again 😭☀️ & soaking in the last of these summer rays! .. with SPF of course 😏 Went for a 4 mile run with Koda this morning 🐾🐺🩶Then this afternoon did 6x600m on the assault runner with 2:00 rest between. Felt like I was running at decent speed today & got a decent volume! AHHHHHH WOW THANKFUL to be moving & sweating in sun ❤️🫶🏼☀️"

1. She Runs

As you can see from the caption of her Instagram post, Davíðsdóttir likes to run to stay in shape. Valley Oaks states that running is very beneficial. “After going for a run, your body experiences a drop in the stress hormone cortisol. This reduction diminishes feelings of stress, allowing you to go about the rest of your day with less tension and anxiety. In addition to mitigating stress, running also invokes feelings of calmness. Following a run, your body releases chemicals called endocannabinoids. These chemicals flow through your bloodstream and into your brain, relaxing your mind and body.”

2. She Uses A Stationary Bike

Davíðsdóttir likes to use a stationary bike to stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself riding one in the sun. Davíðsdóttir captioned the post, “Morning ride with my Kodaboy ☀️🐺🥹🫶🏼 It was a leg burner, but got the job done when I didn’t have much time! 1:00 - 2:00 - 3:00 - 4:00: Sitting at a low threshold pace. Standing at a Damper 10 For a total of 20mins! Let me know if you try it. The 3 & 4 minutes start to get reeeeeal spicy on the standing 🌶️🔥😮‍💨” Davíðsdóttir is also seen on a bike in this video.

3. She Surfs

Davíðsdóttir spends a lot of time outside. One thing she enjoys doing is going surfing. She shared some videos of herself riding the waves in this Instagram post. Davíðsdóttir captioned it, “Summer lake nights - there is nothing like it ☀️🧡🏄🏼‍♀️🌊 Got to have my Tori with us this whole week & if you leave the sound on for ANY of the videos you will basically just hear belly laughter 😂🫶🏼🌻 she’s my happy little sunflower. LOVE YOU TOR @toridysonnn.”

4. She Hikes

Another outdoor workout Davíðsdóttir enjoys is going on hikes. She shared this post on Instagram of herself and her boyfriend hiking in Iceland. Davíðsdóttir captioned the post, “My Canadian boyfriend showing me all around Iceland ❤️🌋This was my first time getting to join a @worldplayground experience! My plan was to join much more of the trip, but since I was still only 2 weeks out from my surgery & I wasn’t ready to do hard, long hikes .. BUT this one was relatively light & only 3.2 km each way & I didn’t want to miss out on this experince & holy smokes it didn’t dissapoint (also I was so proud of my back 🥹 it was a big step in my recovery & showing myself what I can do!!!).”

5. She Stretches

Davíðsdóttir shared this video on Instagram of herself doing different stretches in the gym. Harvard Health states that stretching is very beneficial. “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”

Katrin Davidsdottir was the “The Fittest Woman on Earth” in both 2015 and 2016. She is getting back into exercise after having surgery. Davidsdottir shared a video on Instagram of herself running on the treadmill. She captioned it, “LOOK WHO’S JOGGING AGAIN 😭🫶🏼 Tomorrow marks the 4 week date since my fusion surgery & I am so thankful for how well my recovery has been going! The first two weeks were BY FAR the most challenging, but these past two weeks have felt like I have taken so many steps forward!”

As you could tell from her post, Davidsdottir likes to run to stay in shape.

That actually really surprised me. The first two times I tried jogging it didn’t feel good, so I left it at that. I am really not wanting to push my body to do anything it is not ready to do. But yesterday: IT FELT GOOD ❤️☺️⚡️ It was only for 200m at a time & at a zone 2 pace but I am so proud & so happy about this improvement!”

1. She Does CrossFit

CrossFit is the main way Pagan stays in shape. It has a lot of health benefits. Dignity Health states, “There's a reason CrossFit is so popular: Its workouts do a great job getting people in shape. Participants are drawn to the competitive atmosphere and camaraderie that their box's WODs foster. But CrossFit isn't just for the athletically inclined: People of all fitness levels and walks of life can participate in the training, although some WODs may need to be modified for beginners. Practitioners attribute their fast transformations to CrossFit's high-intensity and continuously changing workouts. Training consists of compound exercises to build cardiovascular endurance, strength, flexibility, speed, and balance while burning more calories per minute than traditional weight-training activities. In addition to body-weight movements, the program utilizes a variety of equipment -- from barbells and medicine balls to jump ropes and elastic bands -- as part of its daily WODs.”

2. She Does Sit-Ups

Pagan shared some of her favorite workouts in this Instagram video. One thing she is seen doing is sit-ups. The Cleveland Clinic reports, “Sit ups are great for tightening your core. They strengthen and tone your rectus abdominus, transverse abdominus and oblique abdominal muscles as well as your neck muscles. The American College of Sports Medicine recommends three sets of 8 to 12 repetitions three times per week.”

3. She Lifts Weights

Pagan likes to lift weights to keep herself in shape. In the previous Instagram video, Pagan is seen lifting a barbell. She is also seen using a barbell in this Instagram video. ACE Fitness states that lifting weights has a lot of benefits. “Lifting heavy weights elevates levels of anabolic hormones—specifically testosterone, growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor (IGF-1)—which are used to repair muscle fibers damaged during exercise. This helps the muscle fibers to become thicker and capable of generating higher levels of force.”

4. She Uses A Stationary Bike

In the previous Instagram video, Pagan is also seen using an exercise bike. Penn State PRO Wellness states that using an exercise bike to workout is very beneficial. “Depending on the intensity of your workout and your body weight, you can burn more than 600 calories an hour with a stationary bike workout. This makes indoor cycling an excellent workout option for burning calories quickly.”

5. She’s Comfortable With Herself

Pagan is comfortable with herself and her body. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram video. “Dare to be different and see yourself outside the norm. Although it took me a long time to accept that I look different, I now understand what my body is capable of is awesome and I am grateful everyday for it. At the end of the day, why be the same as the rest?”
