Guest-post on the PumpUp Blog

Hey sweetheart

Here are the great news I told you about in my previous post.
I had the opportunity to create a guest-post for PumpUp's blog.
Maybe you remember the review I wrote a couple of weeks ago about the 'PumpUp App' ? Well, they also have a blog where they publish articles about fitness and health, recipes, spotlight stories and inspirational posts.

I also have a collaboration now with the PumpUp team, meaning that we planned that I create and write a guest-post, of course health and fitness related, for them once a week or once every two weeks, we will see...

I would be pleased if you would take the time to read my article on their blog (here). And of course to scroll through their blog as well, because they offer a great number of inspirational posts, stories and delicious recipes.

I wish you all a nice week and stay focused.

Legday, Fail!

Hi there!

Guess what?! I hurt my knee this morning during my leg workout routine... awesome, right?! grrr!

Everything was fine, I started my legday like every legday: 

• First Leg Extension: 4x12 - 25kg
• Leg Press: 2x10 - 160kg & 2x12 - 120kg
• Squat: Biggest fail ever!!!
• Calf Press: 4x12 - 40kg 

I always warm up before I do my squats, meaning I only take 20 to 30 kg to do some 'warm-up-ass-to-the-grass' before I load up some more weights to prevent injuries.

On my 3rd warm-up rep it happened. I was very low but I couldn't get up anymore, so Ken had to help me , otherwise I would still be sitting on the floor with my 30 kg on the shoulders haha. It actually felt like someone hammered a pin right in the middle of my right knee. So no more squats for me for today...

To finish my ''legday'' I did 4 sets of calf press on the smith machine with 40 kg , as my knee didn't stop hurting.

So my day started pretty shitty... I don't know if I will do legday next week, I have to check how my knee is going.

I hope you all pay attention and listen to your body! It is always better to stop before something worse happens, even though you have a correct form during your exercise. If something hurts, take off some weights or stop doing that exercise!

From where I stand, waiting for Ken to finish his last calf exercise. Wearing my super comfy +Nike Flyknits 

I wish you all a nice rest of the week and take care of your body , because you it's the only place you have to live in!
