I remember when I was new to fitness and bodybuilding, I copied routines from the fitness magazines and put them to the test.

Little did I know those routines were not real, they were made by editors who didn't train much themselves!

Today in my coaching life and training clients who've been lifting for years or for decades like me, and I've come to realizing how many still overtrain and understimulate by using workout programs that are either not realistic or outdated!

This is why I share my real training videos and real workout strategies with you.

In this current workout plan I show you the way I build my body.

The way I train nowadays is not at all the way I worked out in my 20-30s.

The benefit with working with me is I help you progress in the gym by training better, not just harder!

I also have no interest in having you stuck in false beliefs about workout volume and frequency.

It's important to me as your coach and trainer that we are on the same page about training.

If you feel defeated and discouraged about comparing yourself to your younger self and lose motivation by that, check out this video and you'll regain your confidence about strength training and making progress throughout life!

Hello Superstars!

It is wednesday and day 2 on my 4-12-1 workout plan for myself.

I have set my goal to complete 12 workouts in 4 weeks time.

Can I train more? Yes.

Do I have to force myself to do it? No.

Right now I don't want to pressure myself to commit to more than I feel is good for now.

I want to look forward to every session and when I have a lot of extra challenging things going on to handle, then something has to give.

I accept that I can not achieve or do everything up to my ego's liking.

I don't want to feel that I am not doing enough up to my own personal standards.

I don't care about what other people think about "performing at living life", but I have my mind that sits in the corner and loves to tell me about ideals, being productive, have high ambitions, follow the culture of the harder you work the cooler you are.

That mind is conditioned by my surrounding, my environment. My mind is shaped by what we all collectively have as the standard to strive for.

And if I don't follow this mentality I hear my thoughts confronting me about it:

Why am I not doing what everyone else is doing?

Why am I not just making my life easy and follow the rest?

Don't I care about being respected or admired? 

Am I not a my resume, what I've accomplished?

Don't I know my worth lies within what I do for other people?

Don't I know that sacrificing for others is more important and valuable than listening to my heart? Oh, that selfish nature is frowned upon. 

To care about how I feel and what I choose to do must be according to doing the right thing for others, right?

So then, here I am in fitness and so called wellness circles.

The focus is on body transformation.

Everyone comes in with wanting to transform the body, achieve fitness goals, getting in shape after all, and then somehow stick with it....

That goal has not changed. The program or mindset must evolve, this is not about getting it done, maintaining results and then forget how do you feel in the daily living the lifestyle?

When, when, when will you have time to slow down your mind and start to challenge your mind the way I do?

Without the desire to go inwards, start reflecting upon your Self, who you are when you are not your mind, the same demons of body, looks, ideals, living up to expectations of others will keep haunting you.

I know that you want to find a healthy body and mind in balance. 

I know you wish you could speed up the process and somehow hit diet epiphanies, understand it all, and then move on, live your life...

But it's not the way it works.... The body transformation is the easy part in this.

Your self-awareness and your self-relationship take more work than any muscle physique ever will.

When you come in to my so called fitness coaching you must see this is the greatest opportunity for you to find your true self and build a long-lasting marriage to your own heart.

This is my passion, to help you and guide you to dare to go inwards, to question all you've been told is what you are or what you are supposed to be or do.

It is scary, I know. You will be pulled between wanting to live up to your parents' wishes or your partner in life's idea of who you are, and wanting to run away, escape from everything and just start over where nobody knows you.

So where do you start this fitness life journey with me as your coach?

You come to terms that this is a self commitment, I am just there as a sparring partner in self discovery and self transformation.

I live my life for the first time as Pauline, just like you live your first life as you right here and now.

We don't have any manuals or books to follow every step of the way, we all go into unknown territories of our Selves.

What I do as your coach and leader is I do all this for myself, every day is another daily practice of mastering my mind & mastering my body.

I choose this way of life, the forever routine of self expansion using my body as the instrument to work on self discipline that gives me the freedom.

When you commit to yourself and commit to my coaching you and I become friends for life. Because you can't build a powerful empowering relationship like it's a little romance for now, not a marriage or a long term partnership.

I coach and teach Mind, Body & Self. All in one. I can't work on one part of you like you're a muscle body part project.

I go deeper than all other fitness coaches and strength training coaches for women. 

Why? There are no strong bodies created under the supervision of weak minds, and the secret to life is to enjoy it, including the so called fitness life.

My goal is always to seize the training day, one day at a time.

In my life it is training day every day for mind, body, for my Self.

When you come here and want to discover or learn Fighterdiet, remember what diet means: way of life and what we consume, absorb, nourish ourselves with. 

That means who you surround yourself matters.

You become a mix of the closest beings you choose. 

Every thought you have colors your idea of who you are.

So Fighterdiet really is more than a diet plan or a workout program...Welcome to my way of life, one day at a time.

Let's start from the beginning with one Fighterdiet mindset video for you to reflect upon today.

One step at a time.

You can't rush insight or clarity, you must take the time and let yourself take time.

When you think about it, what else in life do you have but time to learn and become your own best friend?

Welcome to my Real Fitness Coaching, it is not what you think it is and you'll realize that is the greatest part of it all.

The Menopause, perimenopause, the fear of estrogen, semaglutide propaganda and my thoughts on the marketing towards women

Are you stretching your hip flexors and still feeling that tightness in the front of your legs?

Do you feel the quad and rectus femoris are resisting stretching?

Let's try to solve it with this routine focusing on the upper thighs for releasing the hip flexors, and then glutes with piriformis and lower back self massage for releasing tightness in the lumbar region.

Working on your forever diet project: how to do you feel about the same old struggle over and over?

Are you still thinking you should get out of your diet project and body fitness training goals you never achieve?

Are you frustrated thinking you need to get over yourself and graduate from fitness school?

Let me share a reality check with you about this work we do on ourselves and the expectations that go with it.

I compare my personal forever goal of my sleep optimization routine with your current healthy life balance projects.

Remember I solved my diet and body fitness projects of my past, Fighterdiet is my brainchild and keeps me from being in that typical yoyo dieting routine and fat regain and then lean out, regain and relose that 99% of who I know are kinda stuck in.

My point is you must accept yourself, realize there is nothing you need to prove to anyone.

The whole daily life is an adventure, a practice, an education.

So, have you come to this insight about your ambition to solve your problems?
