The personal trainer and fitness expert Kaisa Keranen is working to inspire others to care about their health and wellness as much as she does. “STRENGTH + MOBILITY⁣. No matter how short I am on time, you will NEVER find me slacking on my mobility work. I’ve seen FAR too many benefits to undervalue this form of movement.⁣ Incorporating mobility into my routine absolutely changed the game for me. Increased mobility of my joints has allowed me to experience huge gains in my strength and overall performance, not to mention, moving pain free! 🙌🙏⁣,” she said on Instagram. “So what is mobility exactly? It’s the ability to actively take our joints through their full ranges of motion. A joint is where two bones meet — such as your hips, knees, ankles, and shoulders.⁣ By incorporating regular mobility work into our workouts, we are “greasing” up our joints and taking them through active ranges of motion. This not only helps us move easier and feel better in our bodies, but it also helps to alleviate aches and reduce the risk of future injuries.⁣ Do you incorporate mobility into your routines?” Here’s what she does to stay in such great shape.

1. She focuses on mobility training

She prioritizes mobility training. “What is mobility training & why should you be doing it…⁣Simply put, mobility is the ability to move a joint through its full range of motion.⁣ Regular mobility training helps to reduce any restrictions within the body by increasing your range of motion at each joint.⁣ The ability to move freely within your body not only helps you FEEL your best, it can also help to alleviate chronic pain, reduce injuries and improve overall performance.⁣ Mobility is a form of movement that EVERY body should be doing & will benefit from,” she said on Instagram.

2. She takes time to cool down

She knows it’s important to cool down after workouts. “4 min. COOL-DOWN 🙌⁣ How many of you actually spend time cooling down after your workouts? 😳 I bet not many…⁣ (and let’s be honest, I don’t always either even though I know better!) But here’s the thing Team, cool-downs are super important for the body AND they don’t have to be complicated. Try these four gentle moves after your next workout,” she said on Instagram.

3. She aims to inspire others

She works hard on her own body and wants to inspire others to prioritize their health, as well. “The September Challenge has officially started and day one was 🔥🙌⁣ Details:⁣ Strength, cardio & mobility⁣, 5-days a week⁣, intermediate level⁣, [and] heavy & medium set of dumbbells⁣. Who’s in,” she asked on Instagram.

4. She works out with kettlebells

She uses kettlebells on occasion to get the most out of her workouts. “4 kettlebell moves to try! 🔥⁣You don’t have to overthink things Team. Sometimes a workout is as simple as picking out a piece of equipment and a few exercises and getting to it.⁣ Of course I always start with a quick mobility warm-up but after that, we kept it quick & fun with this kettlebell circuit,” she said on Instagram.

5. She makes time for self care

She prioritizes self care. “Self care should NOT be a luxury.⁣ I feel very strongly about everybody having access to wellness and the ability to care for themselves.⁣ I also feel very strongly about movement and its MASSIVE positive impact on our physical and mental health,” she said on Instagram. According to Mental Health First Aid, “engaging in a self-care routine has been clinically proven to reduce or eliminate anxiety and depression, reduce stress, increase happiness, and more.”

Katie Crewe is sharing a core workout – in her two-piece workout gear. In a new social media post, the trainer shows off her amazing body in a belly-baring set. “How many months or years did you start working out postpartum? I’ve been thinking of sharing a week of 10 min and under daily workouts that are appropriate for postpartum. Drop me a ⭐️ if this would be helpful for you! If you can fit in 20 minutes, or 10 min twice a day, give this a go!” 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. Focus on Building Strength

“My whole view on training and relationship with myself changed when I stopped trying to use my workouts as a way to get smaller and started trying to be more powerful. Your workouts shouldn’t be a way to punish yourself or to “earn” food. Your workout isn’t more successful because you burned the most calories possible. Lift weights to be stronger and more powerful, to feel more confident, and to make your everyday life easier. Lift weights so elderly you thanks you for the strong bones and increased capabilities. It’s a tough but extremely empowering mindset shift that I’m so grateful I made,” Katie wrote in a post.

2. Do a Warm Up Set

Katie recently shared “tips for when you’re short on time but don’t want to compromise on your workout.” One of them is not skipping workouts. “Last time I posted about warm-ups, a surprising number of people said that they do a dynamic warm-up but no warm-up sets (maybe it was only surprising to me). Let me know below what your warm-ups usually look like (please, for research :p),” she says. “If you’re short on time I’d still recommend doing some warm-up sets. I cut down on some of my dynamic warm-up but not much on my warm-up sets because I really need these to acclimate to the weight and feel prepared.”

3. Agonist-Antagonist Paired Sets

She also recommends agonist-antagonist paired sets. “This is the one I will use most frequently when trying to save time. Pairing opposite muscle groups (e.g. hamstring curls and quad extensions) allows one to rest while you’re performing the other exercise. I still usually rest in between but 30 sec-1 min vs 90 sec-2 min. As long as you’re not still puffing from your last set, your strength shouldn’t be compromised,” she wrote.

4. Always Do Something

“The most important tip is that going and doing something, even if it’s 1/3 of what you planned for, is still benefiting you. You still moved your body, it helped you maintain the habit, and it helps get you out of an ‘all or nothing’ mentality when it comes to working out – which can really work against you in the long run,” she added.

5. Her Core Workout

Here is Katie’s full core workout:

🔺360 degree breathing - 2 min

🔺Pull-in pulses - 3x10 pulses, 3 times per set

🔺Side plank pull-ins - 3x10-15

🔺Heel drops - 3x16

🔺Glute bridges with adductor squeeze - 3x15

🔺Bear hovers - 3x10-15

🔺Kneeling to tall kneeling - 3x10-15

Karina Elle is doing yoga – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the model and influencer shows off her amazing body in tight shorts and a matching crop top while exercising in her living room. “Feel good flowwwwga.🥰,” 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. Running

When she started modeling, Karina “went back and forth between being a model and just needing to go out and run. Running was my sense of identity – running is my coffee,” she told Muscle & Fitness. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say.

2. Strength Training and HIIT

“It’s a misconception that I live at the gym. I work out anywhere from 20 minutes to an hour and a half at least every other day. I start off with weights and then do HIIT,” she told the publication. She does full body workouts all the time instead of training upper and lower body separately. “My mantra is to do something active every day because of the high that it makes me feel.” There is lots of research backing up the benefits of HIIT workouts, including body fat reduction, improved cardiovascular function, and mental health. It is also time effective.

3. Portion Control

Karina has a healthy approach to diet. “I don’t count calories. I believe in portion control, cooking for myself, and eating simple ingredients like potatoes, chicken, broccoli, avocados, and eggs,” she told Muscle & Fitness.

4. She Feels Sexiest When She Is “Sweaty”

“I feel sexiest not necessarily when I’m strong, because what is strong? I feel sexiest when I’m sweaty. Sweaty represents hard work. When I’m drenched in sweat, I know I killed it,” Karina says.

5. Yoga

In her latest post, Karina reveals that she also does yoga. “It’s always been important to my practice to play with the yin/yang of strength + flexibility. Exercising both powerful masculine + divine feminine energy (that lives within each of us) creates balance in the bod to help us be our happiest, sexiest self,” she writes. There is a laundry list of reasons to do yoga, explains Harvard Health. “Researchers found that people who practiced yoga for at least 30 minutes once a week for at least four years, gained less weight during middle adulthood,” they said. “People who were overweight actually lost weight. Overall, those who practiced yoga had lower body mass indexes (BMIs) compared with those who did not practice yoga. Researchers attributed this to mindfulness. Mindful eating can lead to a more positive relationship with food and eating.”
