Fitness Model Sophie Arvebrink in Two-Piece Workout Gear Says Hi From Thailand

Sophie Arvebrink is more than just a fitness model—she’s a social media sensation with a dedicated following on Instagram. Recently, she took her followers on a virtual journey to Thailand, sharing highlights from her trip. One standout post from last Monday featured Arvebrink striking a pose in a sleek black workout set atop a tower, simply captioned, “Thailand.”

1. She Swims

Arvebrink likes to swim to stay in shape. During one of her trips to Thailand, she did a lot of swimming, and shared a lot of posts on Instagram. In February, she shared this video of herself swimming in a pool. In May, Arvebrink shared this pool video on her page, captioning the post, “Let’s talk about life.” Finally, she shared these pool photos in July of last year. Arvebrink captioned the post, “I guess we are just animals with big brains.”

2. She Works Out With A Friend

Arvebrink shares a lot of workout videos on Instagram. She sometimes enjoys hitting the gym with one of her friends. Arvebrink shared this video of herself and a friend doing workouts together. She captioned the post, “Team work.” Better Health states that working out with a friend has a lot of benefits. “Exercising with a friend or loved one can make it more fun, and increase your chances of sticking to your exercise plan. Exercising with a friend is a great way to keep you motivated. It’s also a great way to meet new people. It can even save you money.”

3. She Does Pull-Ups

In the previous Instagram post, Arvebrink is seen doing pull-ups. NASM states that pull-ups are a great workout. “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.”

4. She Does Push-Ups

Arvebrink is seen doing push-ups in the previous Instagram video. NASM states that push-ups have a lot of benefits. “Push-ups focus primarily on the following muscle groups: Pectorals (chest muscles). Deltoids (shoulder muscles). Serratus anterior, trapezius, and rotator cuff (posture and shoulder support muscles). Triceps (backside of the arm muscles). Core stabilizers (abdominals and spinal support muscles). Gluteals (hip muscles).”

5. She Strength Trains

Arvebrink likes to strength train and use weights to stay in shape. In this video she posted on Instagram, she is seen with a weight on her waist. The Mayo Clinic reports that strength training has a lot of benefits. “By stressing your bones, strength training can increase bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories.”

The well-known bodybuilder and fitness model, Sophie Arvebrink, works hard to keep herself mentally and physically strong, sometimes leaning on friends for support and motivation. On a video of her working out with Melinda Lindmark (@melindalindmark on Instagram), Sophie Arvebrink and Melinda both posted the video and Melinda commented, “how to get the best workout - train with this power woman,” referring to Sophie. Here's how she stays in such great shape.

1. She does pull ups

She focuses on strength training, using her own body to build muscle with workouts like pull ups when she has some spare time in the morning. “Pull ups for breakfast,” she said on Instagram, while squeezing in a quick session.

2. She cold plunges

She would put partying aside for her healthy routine anyday. “Everybody wanna party but I just wanna take cold baths and hit the gym,” she said on Instagram on a video of her hoping into a cold plunge after taking off her sneakers. According to the Mayo Clinic, “research on cold-water immersion has found evidence that it helps reduce the degree of exercise-induced muscle damage that can occur after physically challenging activities. Less damage leads to less inflammation, which in turn reduces soreness and helps restore physical performance the next day.”

3. She eats healthy

She focuses on a healthy lifestyle in the kitchen, as well as the gym. “What I eat in a day to feel like an absolute machine. 1️⃣ Mix: 1 scoop vegan protein powder from almond milk and 1 frozen banana. 2️⃣ 3 eggs and 1 tortilla wrap. Greek youghurt, granola and berries. 3️⃣ 3 pieces of chicken thighs, white rice and asian salad. 4️⃣ 1 apple, a bunch of dry roasted nuts. 5️⃣ Tuna salad with avocado and honey mustard dressing,” she said on instagram.

4. She’s motivated

She surrounds herself with positive, dedicated, and motivated people that will guide her down the right path and challenge her. “Getting my ass kicked by two bodybuilders 😂Love you guys @breonma_ @gisellemachadopro 😍 best motivation has been hanging with them for a week. Their work ethic and dedication to training is second to none,” she said on Instagram.

5. She works her abs

She works her butt off in the gym, trying challenging and intense workouts, including ab workouts, to stay in shape. “Killer ab circuit (don’t mind my little double chin lol) @vqfit,” she said on Instagram, while using a pull up bar for more than a quick arm workout.

Brittany Coutu is pounding pavement – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the fitness model and influencer reveals she is training for a marathon. “I’M BACK!!! First run of the year!! I wanted to commit to a half marathon at the end of the year, so let’s see what we can do. Out the gates I’m starting with a two mile run, walking laps,” she wrote in the caption of the Instagram post. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Her Fitness Story

Brittany recently opened up about her fitness journey to Simply Shredded. “In 2008 I graduated college and I was in that young-adult, coming-of-age mode where I was still trying to figure out who I was and what I wanted to do with my life. After a breakup I was left feeling stagnant at a time when I expected to be constantly moving. Someone suggested that I try fitness competitions so I threw myself in head-first. I learned how to sculpt my body rather than just train my muscles. I changed my diet and I learned how to walk and pose for the stage,” she said.

2. Here Is What She Eats in a Day

Brittany revealed to Simply Shredded that she eats six small but protein packed meals per day.

Meal 1: Oats, Peanut Butter & Whey Protein

Meal 2: Chicken, Brown Rice & Asparagus

Meal 3: 99/1 Turkey, Brown Rice & Vegetables

Meal 4: Fish or 99/1 Turkey & Vegetables

Meal 5: Lean Steak, Vegetables or a small Salad

Meal 6: Fish or 99/1 Turkey & Asparagus

3. Strength Training

Brittany’s main form of fitness is strength training. “This year I have noticed that lifting moderate weight and higher reps focusing on 100% proper form has given me immense gains,” she told Simply Shredded. 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
