Fitness Trainer Zuzka Light in Two-Piece Workout Gear Shares "Mobility Drills"
Fitness trainer Zuzka Light is certified in "integrative nutrition, oxygen advantage, movement & mobility, [and] somatic exercise." Approaching 1 million followers on Instagram, she has a massive community online that she aims to inspire and motivate. "Join me in the ZGYM for daily training & Mobility at ZuzkaLight.com," she said on Instagram on a series of photos and videos of her demonstrating mobility drills. Here's what Zuzka does to maintain her health.
She gets a quick workout in
She squeezes in a quick workout session. "The 15 Minute Fit Slide workout series in the ZGYM is one of my favorites for strengthening abs and core. If you implement these workouts into your weekly schedule often, you'll see great results," she said on Instagram on a video of her going through the motions.
She motivates
She aims to motivate her community to just start being active. "To all my female friends and hard working women out there: It doesn't matter what your starting point is. You can be a complete beginner, non athletic, not coordinated, and completely out of shape. You don't have to be in shape to start exercising – that's the whole point of doing beginner workouts at first," she said on Instagram.
She enjoys hiking
She takes her sweet dogs on hikes and enjoys spending plenty of time outside getting some fresh air. She posted, "6 miles morning hike with Mia & Misha 🐶👧 Mia is still learning how to behave on hikes but she's making great progress," on Instagram, on a series of photos of her and her pups taking in the view.
She stays consistent
She remains consistent. "Do you get easily discouraged when you see slow progress? The people who are able to stay consistent with their diet and training are no different than you. They just think differently. This is what they do: 1. They are patient and focus more on healthy habits than on their goals. 2. When something is not working for them, they change their approach," she said on Instagram. "3. They consider the consequences of instant gratification and frequently remind themselves that avoiding temporary discomfort, such as exercise, will lead to much greater pain in the future. 4. They reward themselves emotionally for every positive action they take. 5. They hype themselves up instead of constantly telling themselves how much they dislike sweating, exercising, or eating healthy."
She works on her mobility
She works on expanding her mobility. "Does your mobility need some work? If you can't touch your toes, having issues with chronic pain, or if you're hitting a plateau in your strength training or calisthenics, then regular mobility workouts can really help with that," she said on Instagram. "The human body was made to move, and the aches, stiffness and even pain that many people experience can be attributed to the fact that many people simply don't move enough. Or, at the very least, they don't move in such a way that keeps the joints flexible enough to move through their full range of motion (ROM)—something that helps people maintain their independence as they age—throughout one's life," according to ACE Fitness.
