Fitness Influencer Linn Lowes In Workout Gear Shares Slow Exercises

“Preferably in a beautiful location.”

Fitness influencer Linn Lowes is emphasizing the mental health aspects of exercise to her 3.4 million Instagram followers. Lowes shared a video of herself wearing red two-piece workout gear, doing a slow, controlled workout. “When the intrusive thoughts are running wild in my head, this is what I turn to. These types of movement make it difficult to focus on anything else but the actual movement—slow, controlled, and preferably in a beautiful location. Did you know physical movement can help with mental health?” she captioned the post. Here’s how Lowes stays fit, happy, and healthy.


1. Fun Workouts

Lowes knows it’s easier to stick to a workout routine if you actually enjoy the exercise. “I honestly believe you should do what you enjoy. There’s no must,” she told Women Fitness. “Weightlifting, cardiovascular health (cardio) and stretching will however help you live longer, age slower and be happier (endorphins). I'd love to go back into horseback riding at some point in my life.”

2. Balanced Diet

Linn LowesLinn Lowes/Instagram

Lowes likes to start her day with oatmeal, fresh berries, and green juice. “I think it's dangerous to be too strict with your diet,” she told Women Fitness. “That will only make you want what you can’t have even more. Enjoy everything in moderation. Feeling bad because you missed a workout or had dessert is the worst thing you can do to yourself. If you’re gonna treat yourself you better enjoy it – haha! Again, your mind plays a huge role in your wellbeing. Be kind to yourself.”

3. Be Kind

Lowes is careful about practicing kindness in her life. Reminder: Everyone you meet has a story. Just because you don’t know about it doesn’t mean it’s not there. We’re way too quick to judge other these days so here’s a little reminder to stay kind & patient. ❤️True strength is a multifaceted quality that extends beyond physical prowess. While muscles may showcase one aspect of strength, the essence of true power lies in the resilience to face life’s challenges head-on,” she captioned an Instagram post.

4. Lower Body Workout

Lowes has a few favorite routines for the lower body. “LOVED THIS SESS for lower boddd 🔥 It’s definitely a must try, with or without boyfriend filming lol. You know you know.

1️⃣ Smith Step Ups 2x15/leg as warm up

2️⃣ SM Front Squats 3x12 always loved fronts

3️⃣ Hack Squats 4x12 holy glutes this one is good

4️⃣ Reverse/Frog Kicks 4x15 my absolute fave for glute isolation

5️⃣ Cable Donkey Kicks 3x12/leg (put the stability weight on your arms so you don’t just feel this is the supporting leg, huge key!)”

5. Health Is Wealth

Lowes is a cancer survivor, which makes her appreciate her good health more than ever. “Health is always the most important aspect because without health we have nothing,” she told Women Fitness. “If you’re sick it does not matter how rich or skinny or famous you are. Believe me, I’ve been there. If you have health, you are rich. For some people weight loss is necessary to maintain health and to some a weight gain is just as important. I wish society could understand this and accept the fact that weight gain could be life changing and beautiful too.”

Linn Lowes is sharing a new workout – in her exercise clothes. In a new social media post the influencer and fitness guru flaunts her amazing figure in a one-piece workout look. “Fun little lower body workout without Hip Trusts/Reverse Kicks for once hehe. Send to someone who you want to try this with next session!” she captioned the Instagram video. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.


1. She Discovered Fitness Through a Lymphoma Battle

“I was born and raised in Sweden, and from a young age, I was always passionate about health and fitness. However, my life took an unexpected turn in my early 20s when I was diagnosed with lymphoma, a type of cancer. This was an incredibly challenging period for me, both physically and emotionally. But through it all, I discovered a strength within myself that I never knew I had,” Linn told Authority Magazine. “During my treatment and recovery, I realized how crucial it was to maintain a positive mindset and stay active. Fitness became my therapy and my source of empowerment. It helped me regain control over my body and my life. After I went into remission, I decided to dedicate myself to helping others find their own strength through fitness and a healthy lifestyle.”

2. Exercising to Feel Good

Linn doesn’t exercise only for her body. “I believe that fitness is not just about looking good; it’s about feeling strong, confident, and capable. My goal is to inspire others to overcome their own obstacles and realize their full potential,” she says.

3. Building a Positive Mindset

She also works on herself from within. “Building a positive mindset and practicing self-love are essential for long-term well-being. Celebrate achievements, however small, and practice self-compassion during setbacks. I often share motivational messages and personal stories on social media to encourage my followers to embrace their journey with kindness and resilience. It’s free!” she says.

4. Food As Fuel

Linn Lowes.4Linn Lowes/Instagram

Linn maintains that how you think about eating is key. “Start thinking about food as something that should nurture you, not just keep you full. Food is fuel for both your body and mind, and choosing nutrient-dense, wholesome options can have a profound impact on your overall well-being. When you view food as a source of nourishment, you prioritize quality over quantity, focusing on foods that provide essential vitamins, minerals, and energy,” she explains. “For example, instead of reaching for processed snacks that may satisfy hunger temporarily but lack nutritional value, consider incorporating whole foods like fresh fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains into your diet. These foods not only provide sustained energy but also support various bodily functions, from boosting immunity to enhancing cognitive function.”

Kelsey Wells Shares "Slow and Controlled Workout"

She explains why going slower can add benefits to your workout.

Kelsey Wells is encouraging her followers to slow down their workout routine. In a new social media post the fitness trainer and influencer flaunts her flat abs in a crop top and leggings while exercising and educating her fans. “All my bad*** lifting babes listen up,” she writes in the caption of the Instagram video. “BOTH the eccentric (lowering) and concentric (lifting) phases should be slowww and controlled for maximum benefit— especially in strength training.” How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care and why should you consider slowing down? Here is everything you need to know.

Concentric Phase

Next is the concentric phase, which is lifting the weight, she continues. “While the concentric phase is typically faster than the eccentric, it should STILL be controlled. This ensures you’re engaging the muscles effectively without relying on momentum, which can help improve muscle activation and prevent injury.”

Eccentric Phase

Kelsey Wells does a pull-down.

She starts by discussing the “eccentric phase,” which is (\”when you’re lowering the weight,” she says. “Slowing down the eccentric part of a lift helps increase time under tension, which can lead to greater muscle growth and strength. It also reduces the risk of injury by ensuring proper control and movement.”

Working Out Slow and Controlled Has So Many Benefits

Kelsey Wells demonstrates slowing down while strength training.

“Keeping both phases of your movements slow and controlled maximizes the effectiveness of your workouts and helps promote muscle growth and stability,” says Wells. “Also!? When we slow down and focus on form, we can also more easily focus on the mind-muscle connection, and focus on our breathing! Making your movement MINDFUL.”

A Holistic Approach to Nutrition

Kelsey believes “a holistic approach to nutrition is healthiest — this means focusing on balance, consistency, and including all types of food (and treats) in moderation,” she wrote in a blog. “One thing that I will never do is deprive myself of any of the food groups — including desserts! Food should never be a source of guilt, and I encourage you to adopt this philosophy and see how it changes your own relationship with food,” she continued. “If you are considering adjusting the way that you eat, I strongly encourage you to make small, sustainable changes. Remember, it’s what you do often that counts! A restrictive diet will NOT help you to reach your health and fitness goals, and can be mentally unhealthy, too. The most important thing is that you are kind to yourself and allow yourself to nourish your body in the way that best fits into your lifestyle.”

She Stopped Counting Macros

In March 2024 Kelsey made two simple “yet incredibly difficult” changes to her diet, maintaining that it “drastically” improved her health. The first? “I stopped wearing my Apple Watch/stopped “tracking” my HR during workouts and length/intensity of my sessions,” she wrote in the post. The second? “I stopped counting/tracking ANYTHING I ate (before, even when I wasn’t counting macros, I would often track protein)” she added. “BOTH of these tools were very healthy and helpful for me!! For a very long time. Please understand that I AM NOT SAYING tracking is inherently unhealthy or bad to do— that’s absolutely not the case. But I started to feel familiar triggers creeping in, and I realized needed to take a break from both of these things (for my MENTAL wellbeing). Doing so has honestly been far more difficult to do than I thought, and also? FAR MORE FREEING than I ever imagined. Who knows when/if/how I will return to either of these tools in the future, but for now? I am enjoying movement more organically, and training more intuitively, than I have in a long time. I am yet again re-learning and re-affirming to myself that food is FUEL, and all the beautiful things about TRULY HEALTHY nutrition that I have learnt along my professional career and personal path. Always remember that we no longer can allow our efforts in eating or exercise to be a detriment to our MENTAL and emotional health. Be conscious of your mindset and utilize tools for your benefit— and don’t be afraid to make changes when you feel things start to change.”

Steph Claire Smith is a fitness influencer, podcaster, and businesswoman. She is the founder of the Kic app and hosts the KICPOD podcast. Smith is expecting her second child and shared some of her favorite pregnancy exercises on Instagram. She captioned the post, “🤰💪 Pregnancy-friendly & beginner gym workout! Looking for a safe, effective, and beginner-friendly workout to keep you moving during pregnancy or if you’re just starting out? We’ve got you covered! 🌟”

Strength Trains

In her Instagram video, Smith is seen strength training. The Mayo Clinic states that strength training has a lot of benefits. “Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age.”

She's Confident In Herself

Smith is all about being confident in herself. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “I can be a mum, a business woman, and a swimwear / lingerie model simultaneously. Here is a throwback for you of just a few examples of what I used to post in my feed. So why don’t I do it now? Please don’t for a second think it’s because I don’t think that I should or that I don’t feel sexy anymore.”

She Ignores The Haters

Keyboard,Keys,Form,The,Word,Haters,On,Red,Electric,CircuitShutterstock

Smith doesn’t let judgemental comments bring her down. She talked about this in the caption of the previous Instagram post. “I will admit, external judgment made me sway away from posting this kind of content in the past when it came to being taken seriously in the business world (even though I never really agreed with it)… and sure, there have been phases throughout motherhood where I haven’t felt super sexy or I’ve questioned what’s ’appropriate’. But where I’ve got to is realizing that what one person is comfortable with, can be completely different to someone else, and that I am very, very comfortable with tapping into I suppose ‘the old Steph’ … as really she’s just Steph. I’m still that person. And the only reason you don’t see this content as much on my page anymore is because I’m not doing anywhere near the amount of modeling I used to and when I am it’s not always this vibe anymore. But if I could I would! And the judgment I’ve copped from strangers, mainly women, over the last few weeks as I’ve shared my body online, has really disappointed me. HOWEVER, for the hundreds of you who have flooded in, particularly today after the hilarious ‘ass DM I got, saying they Iove seeing me so comfortable in my skin and that especially as mums it’s motivating you to do the same… you’re who I’ll keep doing it for. Do not let anyone dictate what you post on your own feed - if it feels true to you, you do you.”

She Sets Goals

Smith makes sure to push herself when she works out. One way she does this is by setting goals. Smith talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “There were many points throughout my workout today where I questioned if I should just stop right there and then and walk out. And if this was because of energy levels, I would have! I think it’s important to tune into our bodies like that… But I knew I had the energy, and I’ve committed to doing three sessions a week for this challenge. I just had to get out of my own head, and stop worrying about having to regress or rest, I took the pressure off of the workout needing to look a certain way and just kept at it. I’m so glad I got it done, and I’m proud of myself for sticking to my goal!”

She Does Pull-Ups

In the previous Instagram post, Smith is seen doing pull-ups. According to NASM, these have a lot of health benefits. “Pull ups and chin ups are a multi-joint movement, meaning that they engage multiple muscle groups (lats, biceps, shoulders, and upper back). They promote overall upper body muscle development and can lead to some serious strength gains.”

Jenna Fail is an extremely successful fitness influencer on Instagram. Last month, she shared her typical diet on her page. Fail eats things like chicken, grilled cheese and tomato soup, and collagen lattes. She captioned the post, “Some things change day to day depending on what I’m doing, but this is pretty average for not tracking and just going about my day.”

She Gets Enough Protein

Fail makes sure to get enough protein in her diet. She talked about her favorite foods in the caption of her Instagram post. “I tend to have eggs, chicken & sirloin each day and play up what I have with them to keep it interesting. I usually have 1-2 shakes per day (I use @1stphorm Phormula-1) and that helps me to more easily hit my protein goal.”

She Cooks

Fail likes to cook, and shares a lot of her favorite meals on Instagram. She shared this recipe for meatballs, captioning it, “All the great flavors of Thanksgiving all in one place! These Thanksgiving meatballs will be on your families meal rotation after you try them 😍 And even better, they whip up in no time! Preheat your oven to 375°. In a bowl mix: 1lb of ground turkey, 1/2 yellow onion (diced), 1 egg, 1/4-1/3 cup dried cranberries (I soaked mine in water overnight so they weren’t so chewy), Salt & paper, 1 box of herb stuffing, Green onion, Everything to your liking and preference. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until done and that’s it! You can enjoy them just as they are but over rice or mashed potatoes with a little gravy and green onion would be amazing!! These are a great little holiday snack to keep stocked in the fridge 🤍 I have a feeling kids would love them too! Enjoy!”

She Focuses On Things She Can Control

Fail is all about focusing on things she can control. She talked about this in the caption of this Instagram post. “In a world that is unpredictable, chaotic, literally evil, and out of our single handed control - it’s best to put your focus on what you can control. Be aware of everything - but focus most on you & yours. Things you can control: Your mindset. Your daily movement. Choosing more nutrient dense foods. Daily prayer. Gratitude Being good to those around you and always offering help where you can. It’s easy to focus too deeply on the world problems that are too big for us to fix alone, but if we all fixed ourselves and followed the list above, there would be a whole lot more strong, kind, caring and gracious humans walking around which inherently would solve the bigger issues. World improvement starts with personal excellence.”

She's Consistent

Fail opened up about her fitness journey in the caption of this Instagram post. She says that she makes sure to stay consistent. “Continuing to show up is where you’ll always win. I’m so glad I fought through many uncomfortable years to finally get to where I am now. I live a super balanced life, I’m healthier than ever, my hormone health is perfect, my mentality on how I eat and train is practical and I feel amazing! The biggest thing I learned over the years is just how far baseline information and effort can take you. Nothing extreme is needed. I prioritize protein, supplement quality micronutrients, exercise to some capacity ~4x a week, drink plenty of water, optimized my hormones and get at least 7-8 hours of sleep.”

She Hikes

Fail likes to hike to keep herself in shape. She shared this post on Instagram of herself and her partner hiking in the Grand Canyon. According to Piedmont, hiking has a lot of benefits. “Hiking is a weight-bearing exercise that builds muscle mass and helps prevent osteoporosis. Hiking can help you manage your weight. It is a joint-friendly form of exercise that can keep arthritis sufferers more limber and mobile.”

For Hewitt, fitness is all about variety. “I try to switch it up a bit,” she told OK! Magazine. “I’ve found that if every week I do something different it tricks my muscles into not getting used to doing any one thing. I’ve been doing pilates, I’ve been doing yoga, I’ve done just plain old walking. I wear 10 pound weights on my ankles while I’m working just so that as I’m moving during the day I’m constantly building muscle. It’s not great for your back but I’m doing it anyway. I do a booty workout thing that I just did for Shape, which was really fun. And I do Zumba. I have DVDs and I dance around like a crazy person in my house.”

She Builds Confidence

Hewitt tells People that she wants to build her confidence up. “I think I’m a work in progress,” she admits. “[But] I feel it’s so much better than [it was] a year-and-a-half ago, and I feel like in another eight months, it’s going to be so much better than it is today.”

Over the past few years, Sydney Sweeney has become one of America’s sweethearts with celebrated roles in everything from hit HBO shows Euphoria and White Lotus to big-screen movies Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Anyone But You. In addition to her impressive acting ability, the star is a total bombshell and has one of the fittest figures in Hollywood. Here are the top 5 habits that help her stay fit at 27.

Water Skiing

Sydney has been water skiing since she was a toddler. “The moment I could walk, my mom put me on what’s called a U-board to learn how to ski,” she told Women’s Health. “I remember that whenever we would go by the docks of my grandma’s or my cousin’s house, I’d wave. I felt so cool because I could take off one hand. That’s my earliest memory of skiing, but I’ve been doing it as long as I can remember. It’s my favorite.” How does it help her achieve her amazing body? “It’s a lot of upper body strength, it’s balance, it’s core, it’s legs—you get tired really fast,” she says. “I see such a change in my body after an entire summer of [skiing]. My arms are stronger, more sculpted. My abs are rock solid. But I never look at it as a workout because it is so much fun,” she said.

Morning Workouts

Sydney mixes up her exercise routine, but likes to get workouts over with early in the day. “I like to work out in the morning, so I’ll either go for a run or I’ll go to Solidcore,” says Sydney. The high-intensity, low-impact Pilates-inspired workout “makes me feel so strong, but also elongated,” Sydney said about her sweat sessions. “I feel so good afterwards.”

Self-Care

Sydney engages in self-care activities. “I love to paint, and I love to read,” she said. “Those are the activities that are just for me.” One Harvard study published in Social Science & Medicine found that people who read books regularly had a 20% lower risk of dying over the next 12 years than those who weren't readers or who read periodicals.

She Walks and Hikes

One of the ways she treats her anxiety is by spending time outdoors with her dog, Tank. She takes him on walks or hikes. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day reduced the risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia, and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

In a new social media post, the fitness influencer flaunts her fantastic figure in a brown sports bra and leggings. “Self Progress & Development is not always linear. Sometimes we take steps back & that’s just a sign to course correct so we can leap forward. If 2024 wasn’t the year you expected, use it as an opportunity to learn, grow, & carry on. It’s you VS you - continue to try, focus on consistency > perfection & you will prevail 🤎 rooting for us all to strengthen our mind & bodies this year,” she captioned the series of Instagram snaps. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

Strength Training

Mariana relies on old-school strength training to keep her body toned. “Training till failure instead of reps + taking my ab routine up a notch by incorporating weighted exercises,” she wrote about one of her workout tactics. “I can feel my muscles being challenged and am in tune with my movements.” According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

  • Develop strong bones
  • Manage your weight
  • Enhance your quality of life
  • Manage chronic conditions
  • Sharpen your thinking skills

Other healthy habits? “Prioritizing digestion,” she writes in the same post. “Making sure I get enough fiber & starting off every morning with a juice cleanse. This has helped me feel so much better everyday.” She also gets regular blood work done. “So important to check your levels and know what’s going on in your body routinely! Don’t skip the doc apts, always better to be preventative.”

Hiking

Mariana enjoys hiking. “Elevation therapy,” she captioned a post from one of her fitness adventures. According to the National Parks Service, the physical benefits of hiking include:

  • Building stronger muscles and bones
  • Improving your sense of balance
  • Improving your heart health
  • Decreasing the risk of some respiratory issues

Mariana does reformer Pilates. “POV: Stepping into the prettiest torture chamber,” she wrote across a video of herself at the studio. Why is Pilates a good workout? According to the Mayo Clinic, the workout has many benefits, as it “strengthens the body's inner core while increasing its flexibility, resulting in improved overall health.” It can also promote longer, leaner muscles, injury prevention, stress and back pain relief, enhanced athletic performance, and heightened mind-body awareness.

Emsculpt NEO

Mariana recently got an aesthetic body treatment, Emsculpt NEO. “I’ve heard all the rage about the benefits to spot reducing fat & toning muscle so I had to give it a try to target those pesky lower abs. It was a 10/10 & a great addition to my workout routine,” she wrote.
