Fashion Model Ariana James in Pink Workout Gear Does "Back Attack" Workout

Frida Aasen is a very successful model who shares a lot of gorgeous posts on her Instagram. A few weeks ago, she took a trip to the South of France. Aasen shared some photos from the trip on Instagram at that time. In them, she modeled a white workout top, shorts, and hat. How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Frida Aasen stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Uses A Resistance Band

Aasen shares a lot of her workout videos on Instagram. In this video, she shared a full-body workout. In the video, Aasen is seen doing donkey kicks and squat jumps with a resistance band. Better Health states that resistance training has a lot of benefits. “Physical and mental health benefits that can be achieved through resistance training include: Improved muscle strength and tone – to protect your joints from injury. Maintaining flexibility and balance, which can help you remain independent as you age. Weight management and increased muscle-to-fat ratio – as you gain muscle, your body burns more kilojoules when at rest.”

2. She Uses Weights

In the previous Instagram video, Aasen is seen doing Russian twists and side squats with a high knee with weights. ACE Fitness states that using weights has a lot of benefits. “Using heavy weights increases intramuscular coordination, the number of type II motor units and the amount of muscle fibers engaged within a specific muscle. Have you ever felt your muscles shaking while lifting heavy weights? This is because you are recruiting and activating the larger type II muscle fibers, which are only stimulated to work when a muscle is challenged with heavy resistance or working to fatigue.”

3. She Does Russian Twists

In her Instagram video, Aasen is seen doing Russian twists. Gymless reports that this is a great exercise to do. “Russian twists target all the muscles in your core, especially the rectus abdominis and obliques, which makes this exercise an all-inclusive ab workout. This will result in a stronger core that reaps the benefits of improving balance, and creating stability in the spine altogether. A stronger core facilitates better posture, which can result in advantages such as a reduction in back pain.”

4. She Does Side Planks

In her Instagram video, Aasen is seen pulling herself up into a side plank. Gymless states that planks are a great workout. “Planks are great for targeting your midsection as they engage all the core muscle groups, such as the transverse abdominis, rectus abdominis, and obliques. If it is superset with other core exercises, supplemented with a controlled diet, and regular cardio exercise, you will see your abs chiseled and sculpted. According to PubMed, the front plank with a brace can be considered the most effective exercise in activating the external obliques.”

5. She Does Squats

Aasen likes to do squats to stay in shape. In her Instagram video, she is seen doing squat jumps. She also does them in this video, captioning it, “All about functional movement in @alo new limestone color 💚 thank you @kylerussellhoffman.” Allina Health states that squats have a lot of benefits. “The squat is one of the all-around best exercises to do for your lower body. It strengthens and tones muscles in your thighs, butt and calves and improves posture, balance, flexibility and inner core strength. Squatting also improves bone mineral density to keep your bones strong.”

Like most cardio exercises, hiking helps reduce your risk of heart disease, stroke, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and even some cancers.”

Airin Avery, a respected fitness trainer and recent PhD graduate, imparts her wisdom on effective workout strategies on Instagram. She recently demystified the common 4x12 workout programs, explaining the necessity of understanding intensity, progression, and the real effort required to see results. In a candid post, Avery shared, “A program which only subscribes to 4x12 of everything isn’t denoting the intensity of your sets...This, single-handedly, is the most important aspect of progress. You cannot teach an athlete how to make progress if you aren’t making them train hard and engaging in some form of controlled progression.”

1. She Has Support

In 2021, Avery received her PhD. She thanked all the people who supported her in the caption of this Instagram post. “Thank you to everyone here who has shown support or encouragement to me over these past 5 years of my PhD journey. It has been an incredible ride and I am immensely grateful for the help I’ve received along the way. I am not self made. I am composed of everyone who’s taken time out of their day to build me up.”

2. She Does Squats

Avery likes to do squats to stay in shape. She shared this post on Instagram sharing her tips for improving squats. “If your wrists hurt like crazy when you’re front squatting, plot twist it probably isn’t your wrists that are the issue. Usually when people have wrist pain it’s because they are letting the weight shift onto their wrists because they aren’t keeping elbows high. Or they just don’t have the right positioning to begin with. Try this drill: Strap into the bar like you’re going to front squat. Stand with a partner lower yourself while they cue to keep your elbows up.”

3. She Works Her Back

Avery talked about the importance of back exercises in this Instagram video’s caption. “The lats are not the only muscle in the back. And trying to reduce the ROM to ‘bias’ the lats misses this fact. Think of the RDL. Plenty of people claim that you should reduce your ROM to ‘target the glutes’ or ‘stay within their active range’. But how does this help you develop the rest of the musculature involved in extending the hip. The glutes aren’t the only muscle which do so. Simply put, the more you stretch the system (all of the back) the more development you will see through the whole back. You aren’t biasing the lats more, you’re poorly leveraging a load, and leaving gains on the table.”

4. She Schedules Workouts

Avery talked about the importance of scheduling exercises in this post’s caption. “In order for fitness to work in your life you’re going to have to learn how to show up and get things done when you’re schedule is busy. January might be the perfect time for you to start, but what happens when summer rolls around or the holidays when things get busy again? ✨You have to quit the habit of stopping and starting to reach that next level✨”

5. She Does Pull-ups

In the previous Instagram post, and her most recent one, Avery is seen doing pull-ups. NASM states that these workouts have a lot of benefits. “If you enjoy the convenience of bodyweight exercises and the challenge that they bring, then you may already know that chin ups and pull-ups are among the most effective bodyweight exercises to strengthen and develop muscles in the upper body. Don’t let the fact that their bodyweight exercises fool you; these demanding moves require proper form and technique to build strength and prevent injury.”
