Pauline Nordin is getting sweaty in her workout clothes. In a new social media post the bodybuilder shows off her incredibly fit figure during an exercise session at the gym. “The lack of heavy looking equipment doesn’t mean the workout feels LIGHT. If it feels TOO LIGHT it does not matter how heavy it is, it’s all relative. But the mind usually stops all development in body, due to fear of reps past 21! The burn starts there, past the “honeymoon” phase of a workout, will you last and keep your passion and love for the game? I will because I keep it INTERESTING and I live to prove myself wrong about myself and to be my BEST PAULINE so I have THE BEST FRIEND IN ME FOR ME in this body life with a 100% guarantee of no fail no flake no let go. That’s the kind of partner I want in my life, someone I know without doubts will BE ALL I NEED AND ALL I WANT. So I’m that! ALL MY LOVE TO YOU ALL! I’ll share the podcast on my story then I will spend my weekend in solitude to meditate and just be happy, but first LEG DAY!!!” she captioned the post. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. How She Discovered Bodybuilding

Pauline discussed her road to bodybuilding to Simply Shredded. She explains that at 17 she was in the “not eating and doing 500 sit-ups a day” routine. “I accidentally bumped into a Muscle & Fitness magazine and saw the fitness model on the cover. I was terrified, she looked CRAZY, but in some way it caught my attention,” she said. “I realized it took dedication, discipline, a lot of exercise and a strict diet. I liked that and felt this was meant for me. I decided to become a pro bodybuilder, went to my first gym and told the trainer I was going to be onstage in 2002 (3 years later) and I needed to get muscular. Said and done, I trained nonstop for 3 years, went on stage and became the ‘Teen National Champ’ three years in a row and runner up in the Senior Division Under 52 kilograms 2 years in a row.”

2. Free Weights

Pauline relies on free weights, “1-8 reps, and old-school compound lifts,” she says. “I don’t have a set routine, but I am always including the compound basic movements like squats, presses, free weight rows, pull-ups. I don’t keep track anymore about sets and reps, I used to do it for a decade and then called it a day. As soon as I write up a routine I get the urge not to follow it so that’s why I improvise and go with what I have mentally prepared for myself the hour before.”

3. Cardio

Pauline also does cardio. “I also do cardio 6 days a week. I alternate between short intense sessions (20 min) @ 85-90% MHR and slower ones at 70% MHR,” she says.

4. Her 3 Favorite Exercise

Here are Pauline’s 3 favorite exercises:

1. Deadlifts: “Because they shape the whole body,” she says.
2. Shoulder Presses: “Because they give the illusion of broader shoulders and a smaller waist,” she explains.
3. Bent Over Barbell Rows: “The king of upper body muscularity,” she says.

5. Here Is What She Eats in a Day

“I super emphasize on veggies, I don’t eat grains except for wheat bran on ‘plan A’ days which is a ‘Veggie/Protein/EFA’ diet. On plan B days I refeed which means about 100-300% more calories and almost all carbs from oats, rice, pumpkin, jello pudding etc. I use lots of BCAAs and fish oil supplements in my diet as well. I am an AST sports science athlete and use their products and I follow my own diet concept: FIGHTER DIET!” Pauline says.

• "Meal 1: Wheat bran, Whole flax cooked to Porridge, added vanilla Vp2, Cinnamon, Truvia
• Meal 2: Egg whites, CLA & Fish oil
• Meal 3: Egg whites
• Meal 4: Pre workout shake with BCAA’s, Glutamine & Beta-alanine
• Meal 5: Vp2 shake with BCAA’s, Glutamine, NAC
• Meal 6: Veggies, Chicken or Egg whites or Pink salmon, some Shirataki noodles & mustard
• Meal 7: Chocolate protein powder with cocoa powder and coconut shreds plus stevia to sweeten it"

Danielle Pascente, a well-known influencer and fitness coach, has built her success by embracing a balanced approach to health and fitness. She’s committed to pushing through tough exercises she doesn’t enjoy and always ensures she never skips a warmup. Pascente’s dedication is evident in her consistent approach, reminding her followers that staying on track is key to reaching their goals, even with a busy schedule. From high-intensity treadmill intervals to the importance of fueling her body in ways that suit her, Pascente demonstrates that a well-rounded routine is essential. Her message is simple: listen to your body, find what works for you, and stay committed to achieving a balanced and healthy lifestyle.

1. She Does Workouts She Hates

You’re not going to love every workout–there are some exercises that are hard to tolerate even though they’re effective. Pascente has a list of ones she hates, but she still does them because “they’re good for me.” Wearing mint green shorts with black trim and a teal-colored sports bra, Pascente showed which moves she doesn’t enjoy but will continue to do.

-Bulgarian split squats

-Pull-ups

-Barbell back squats

-Lateral raises

2. She Never Skips a Warmup

Warming up before a workout is recommended because it helps improve performance, boosts energy, reduces stress on the heart, and helps increase flexibility. Pascente admits she can overlook things in a session, but warming up is essential. “I’m mostly the chilliest trainer ever, but skip the warm up and you’re ☠️ to me 🤣🤣🤣🤣I will die on this hill. Not nearly as much as people die on the hill that burpees are the worst exercise ever (agree to completely disagree) but I think a lottttt of us can agree that warming up before exercise IS IMPORTANT.”

3. She Does Treadmill Intervals

To switch things up, Pascente will do treadmill intervals and shared what the workout looks like in an Instagram video.

“Warm up: 5 minutes, walk pace, incline 2%

• •

WORKOUT:

➡️3 - 30 second sprints. 30 seconds recovery between each. Increase your sprint speed by 1 each time. Make sure you choose a pace you know you can increase and still hold for 30 seconds. The last one SHOULD push you! Mine were 9.0, 10.0, 11.0. Next time, I’m going to try pushing 10, 11, 12.

• •

Hop off tread and complete this circuit. Interval is 30/10 (30 seconds on, 10 rest)

1️⃣DB SQUAT TO PRESS

2️⃣MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS

3️⃣DL TO LUNGE SNATCH

4️⃣DECLINE PUSH UP

• •

Hop back on tread and repeat this 3-4 times. I made it through 4 rounds - but honestly - this shit gassed me - it’s tough with the added circuit for sure. But in true me fashion - of course I’d program this madness 😂😤”

4. Consisteny is Key

Pascente is a busy mom on the go, but never skipping workouts is key for her fitness journey. In an interview with Perfect Bar she said, “If I’m consistent with that, everything else falls into place. I travel a lot too so sometimes it’s hard to find a rhythm, but when I carve out time and actually schedule all my workouts I feel much better! Workouts just set the tone for my day. They help me make better decisions (food wise) throughout the day and recharge my mind and body!”

5. Find What Works Best For You

Pascente fuels up for workouts in various ways like enjoying a big breakfast beforehand, but reminds followers that everyone is different. “I said it once and I’ll say it 20 more times - you’ve got to do what works for you. There is no one size fits all approach to how we eat or fuel our bodies and the timing in which we do it.” She also stated, “I think nutrition in general is so specific and unique to each individual. I get asked a lot how I fuel before and after my workouts and that looks wildly different based on preference, time you wake up, time you might exercise, etc. This is just a small glimpse on fuel surrounding a workout but it’s also constantly changing if my schedule shifts a bit.”
