Victoria likes to do deadlifts to keep herself in shape. She is seen doing them in the previous Instagram video. NASM states that doing deadlifts can have a lot of benefits. âRDLs are commonly used to strengthen the posterior chain, using the core muscles to stabilize and the hamstrings and glutes to drive the movement.â
She's Consistent
Victoria makes sure to workout on a consistent basis. She revealed in this Instagram caption that one of her secrets for doing this is her approach. âI work out for health and strength. Any physical changes are just⊠a side effect. Iâm not going to lie and say I donât appreciate them. But if no physical change ever occurred, I would still be doing the same workouts because of the strength and energy they give me significantly improve my daily quality of life. I cannot stress enough how much I understand not feeling like you have time⊠or the energy to work out⊠or feeling like your genetics are against you... or feeling like it just isnât *your thing* But it is. Stop putting yourself in a box and stop limiting yourself. You deserve this and you can do it.â
She Uses An Elliptical
Victoria is seen on an elliptical in this Instagram video. According to The Cleveland Clinic, using an elliptical can have a lot of benefits. âElliptical trainer workouts help speed up your metabolism and burn calories, which can help you achieve and maintain a healthy weight. How many calories you burn on an elliptical machine depends on your weight plus workout length and intensity.â
She Lifts Weights
Victoria is also seen lifting weights in the previous Instagram video. According to ACE Fitness, these exercises have a lot of health benefits. âUsing 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.â
