Bodybuilder Timea Trajtelova in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Training Video"

Timea Trajtelova, a renowned bodybuilder with a significant Instagram following, regularly shares her intense workout routines to inspire her audience. In August, she posted a video of herself at an outdoor gym, performing various strength exercises while sporting a stylish purple workout set. "I’ve missed making training videos and I hope you enjoy the return of this content on my Instagram," Trajtelova captioned. Her workout, which includes weight training, squats, lunges, rope climbing, and hanging crunches, showcases her dedication to fitness and encourages her followers to stay active. Whether building strength, improving balance, or toning muscles, Trajtelova's routine offers a well-rounded approach to fitness.

1. She Uses Weights

In her Instagram post, Trajtelova is seen doing exercises with weights. The Mayo Clinic states that these exercises can be very beneficial. “Strength training may enhance your quality of life and improve your ability to do everyday activities. Strength training can also protect your joints from injury. Building muscle also can contribute to better balance and may reduce your risk of falls. This can help you maintain independence as you age.”

2. She Does Squats

Trajtleova is also seen doing squats in her Instagram video. Piedmont states that the exercise has a lot of benefits. “Whether you’re hoping to tone your muscles, strengthen your core or just improve overall health, squats are one of the best exercises you can do…Squats are a compound, multi-joint movement, which means they exercise several muscle groups. When you perform a squat, you work your calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, core and part of your back.”

3. She Does Lunges

Trajtelova is also seen doing walking lunges in her Instagram video. Lunges are a great exercise to do, according to ACE Fitness. “They’re a form of unilateral training, which means you’re working only one limb or side of the body at a time. And unilateral training is a more effective way to build functional strength (than using both legs) because these types of movement mimic other everyday motions, like walking and climbing stairs — and not just to the working leg. Research suggests the strength gains to the nonworking side are about half of the strength gains of the working side.”

4. She Climbs Rope

Trajtelova likes to climb to stay in shape. She is seen on a rope in her Instagram video. Climbing has a lot of benefits. High Peak states, “Climbing involves using the muscles in your arms, shoulders, back, and core to pull yourself up while also engaging your legs for balance and stability. More specifically, here are just a few muscles strengthened from climbing: The abdominal muscles support the body and maintain chest and pelvis alignment. The latissimus dorsi, usually referred to as "the lats" for short, are a pair of wing-shaped muscles in the center of your back that pull the body upward. You move from one foothold to another by pushing your body upward with the quadriceps (a set of muscles in the front of the thigh). You open and close your hands around each hold using the forearm flexors.”

5. She Does Hanging Crunches

Trajtelova makes sure to do core workouts to stay fit. She is seen doing hanging crunches in her Instagram video. Core workouts are important, according to The Mayo Clinic. “Strong core muscles make it easier to do many activities. When your core muscles are strong, it's easier to swing a golf club, get a glass from the top shelf and bend down to tie your shoes. Strong core muscles help athletes, such as runners. That's because weak core muscles can lead to more fatigue, less endurance and injuries.”

Andrea Shaw is tackling leg day – in her workout gear. In a new social media post the bodybuilder shows off her amazing figure and impressive strength during an intense workout session at the gym. “Another leg day in the books. Having specific glute and hamstring focused days is something new for me as of this past prep but I’m enjoying it,” she captioned the Instagram clip. How does she approach diet, fitness, and self-care? Here is everything you need to know about her lifestyle habits.

1. Her “Life Is Bodybuilding”

Andrea devotes herself to staying in shape. “There is a lot that goes into it,” she told BarBend. “My life is bodybuilding — almost exclusively for three months out of the year. I have to give it my best.”

2. She Trains Every Day

“I train every single day,” she said. “The goal is to work out seven days a week and to train each body part twice a week. The average person training is hitting a body part once a week. So, after four weeks, they’ve only trained that body part four times. If I train everything twice a week, I’ve hit that body part eight times in that same four weeks.”

She ends up doing 325 reps. “When I finish that, my legs are humming,” she joked.
