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.
