She Does Rows

Sanzo loves doing rows to stay in shape. She shared this video of herself doing the three kinds of rows. Sanzo captioned it, "Here's everything you need to know about ROWSโ€ฆ ๐Ÿ‘‰ Wearing the Army Abs Zip Tank and Cargo Shorts by @firmabs_brand ๐Ÿ”ฅRows can be performed with virtually any piece of equipment โ€“ but the major difference between all the various types of rows is the way your body is positioned ๐Ÿ’กHere's a guide between the 3 main positions:1๏ธโƒฃ CHEST SUPPORTED POSITION ๐Ÿ‘‰ This position is great to eliminate momentum & helps reduce the involvement of the core / lower back โœ… Best used to isolate the back & improve muscular activation of the back muscles 2๏ธโƒฃ SEATED / KNEELING POSITION. This position is great to increase the range of motion of the movement & to develop core strength. โœ… Best used for building muscle throughout the entire back. 3๏ธโƒฃ BENT OVER POSITION ๐Ÿ‘‰ This position is great to develop strength in the posterior chain (from the back down to the glutes & hamstrings). โœ… Best used for powerlifters or athletes to improve their functional strength."

She's Consistent

๐Ÿ‘‰ Make a commitment to be consistent above all else. โŒ Never wait for motivation & don't expect to 'feel like' doing what needs to be done. โœ… Exercise the DISCIPLINE to follow the plan to the best of your ability regardless of how you feel."

In the previous Instagram post's caption, Sanzo also revealed that tracking her progress was another thing she did. "TRACK YOUR PROGRESS ๐Ÿ‘‰ Measure your results relentlessly โŒ Don't leave things to chance (if you don't measure it โ€“ you can't manage it) โœ… Write down your stats, take photos & keep a record of EVERYTHING to ensure you remain on track and accountable at all times."

She Uses Visualization

Sanzo also revealed in her Instagram post caption that visualization was another thing she practiced. "VISUALISE THE OUTCOME ๐Ÿ‘‰ Regularly see yourself achieving it in your mind โŒ Working towards something that you feel incapable or unworthy of accomplishing will never work โœ… Take a moment each day to visualise yourself accomplishing your goal & experience the feelings that come with it (until you feel like you ARE it)."
