Jen Widerstrom is a fitness expert and podcaster. She is currently training with gladiators. Wiederstrom shared her secrets for staying motivated in a video on Instagram. In it, she is seen on a treadmill. Widerstom says in the video, “I don't want to be here. Want to be here, be here, but come anyways. I'm not homesick because I'm loving every minute here with our pierce, but time is weird. I've got enough in my system to feed a small horse. I miss my bed. I miss the people I care about. But the one thing that always makes me feel better is a gym. I'm going to walk for 10 minutes. I'm going to pick up something heavy, move it slow, move it well, and then go have breakfast with the rest of the gladiators. Lots of protein, lots of water, lots of coffee, and the world will be right again. Just didn't want you guys to think I was perfect.”


1. She Uses A Treadmill

In her Instagram post, Widerstrom is seen on a treadmill. According to Healthy Talbot, this has a lot of benefits. “Treadmill working is an aerobic/ cardio exercise. Studies demonstrate that aerobic exercise can minimize the risk of heart diseases. Moreover, they can strengthen your heart muscles. This helps to lower blood pressure and allows the heart to pump blood more efficiently. Most doctors recommend aerobic exercise to people suffering from cardiovascular diseases.”

2. She Strength Trains

Widerstom shares a lot of fitness tips on Instagram. She shared three in this post’s caption. In it, she revealed that she does a lot of strength training. “Heavy Strength Training. You need to push your effort to an 8 or 9/10 RPE (rate of perceived exertion) in your lifting sessions, 2-3x weekly. (🧐Do you have a strength program yet? Let me know below.)”

3. She Eats Protein

In the same post’s caption, Widerstrom talked about her diet. She revealed that she eats a lot of protein. “Consistency in Protein. Thanks to trailblazing research by @drstacysims we now know that women NEED 1.8-2.2g of protein per kilo of their bodyweight throughout EACH DAY and ideally 40g of that protein is consumed within 30 minutes of completing your workout!”

4. She Takes Care Of Her Gut

Widerstrom also revealed in the previous post that she prioritizes her gut health. “Feeding My Microbiome. Believe it or not, your gut health is responsible for generating hormones that regulate your metabolism keeping you at a leaner body composition, building muscle, optimize bone density, and even supports your sleep quality! To begin to build a better relationship with your Microbiome, focus on consuming 25g fiber from plants DAILY. Try zucchini, cucumber, mushrooms, spinach, green peas, cauliflower.”

5. She Works Her Arms

Widerstrom shared her favorite arm workout in this Instagram video. She captioned it, “My ☝️ favorite arm combo for creating hard but *not bigger* arm muscles! 5 ROUNDS of: 6-10x Half-rep Tricep Push ups. SS. 10-12x Triple-pump Banded Curls. SS. 60-90sec REST. YOU SHOULD BE GASSED by the end of this!! And if you’re not, it means you need to go slower on your push-ups (keep those 90° angles in your elbows) and heavier on your bands while still hitting full extension of your biceps after every third pump!!”
