Fitness trainer and entrepreneur, Hanna Öberg, works to inspire others on their fitness journey. “The amount of times I’ve heard this or that “women shouldn’t have muscles” through my 16 years in the gym, is actually ridiculous 🥲 in the beginning it made me feel insecure and uncomfortable, today I laugh about it! let this be your reminder to take up space in the gym, do you thing and never let anyone make you feel less or like you don’t belong there,” she said on an Instagram video of her working out. Here’s how she focuses on building muscle and staying fit.
1. She works her shoulders
She prioritizes shoulder workouts in her routine. On Instagram, she said “16 years in and those lateral raises haven’t got any easier 🥲 idk which one was the worst today, lateral or the dead stop presses? 🥵 have you tried? here’s a EFFICIENT shoulder workout under 1 hour. no fuss, just basic exercises that will leave you pumped 🔥 details; (never neglect your warmup first sis. make sure to prioritize it!).” According to Harvard Health, “your shoulders need to be strong and limber so you can lift groceries, do housework, prepare meals, drive a car, and do other activities necessary to stay independent.”
2. She has her workout hacks
She has her go-to workout hacks. On Instagram, she said “everything that can ease this situation 😂🥵 here’s an easy hack to make your bulgarians more steady on a bench. either [perform] with one db or two db. if you need more balance support, just hold on to something. and remember, gravity wins - push from your heel straight up! let me know if it helps xx.”
3. She has a supportive partner
She’s grateful to have a partner that supports her and motivates her in the gym. On Instagram, she said “gym crushin every day 🤍I’m so blessed to, not only have a partner with the same passion as myself, but also have a partner who supports me no matter what and is always there to lift me up.”
4. She’s consistent
She remains consistent. On Instagram, she said “nothing needs to change if you're making progress! you don't need 7-10 exercises. you don't need 6-7 workout /week. you don't need to switch things up every week. you need a plan and you need to STICK to that plan. and do it over and over and over again! ❤️🔥”
5. She’s focused on growth
She’s focused on growth and improvement. “She’s just a girl dreaming to be a muscle mummy 😌 every day come a new opportunity to get better and improve. TAKE IT! call your bff and let her know it’s building season! spicy push day coming your way 🌶️😤,” she said on a video on Instagram of her working out.
