Nike Addiction

On Monday and Tuesday we were on our traditional Christmas-shopping trip in Düsseldorf (Germany) and Roermond (Netherlands). Talking about 'we' I mean my sister, her boyfriend David and my lovely boyfriend Ken. It's always fun when we are on the road, especially during our little city-trips (pictures below).

On Monday we hit the road in the early morning so we could explore Düsseldorf's shops to the fullest. Luckily it stopped raining in the early afternoon, but it was still freezing cold, therefor we spend most of the time in the shops and took all the time we needed to find fancy clothes. I tried to eat the healthiest possible, but to be honest, that's not very easy if you cross all those beautiful little Christmas-markets the whole day. Therefor I treated myself with a traditional potato-dough with shrimps in the evening and that one or another cup of mulled wine. Usually I don't drink alcohol, but at least once a year I think I can make an exception. 

On Tuesday we visited the McArthur Glen Fashion Outlet in Roermond and I was so damn looking forward to buying new fashionable workaday clothes as I am starting to work in 2015.

But you know what?There was this Nike-store, and you know how much I love Nike...

There was that one pair of tights that leaped my eye straight away, but sadly they didn't have my size anymore. Therefor I was more than happy when I saw this simple black sports-bag which had the perfect size and a very modest price. I definitely needed a new bag as my current gym-bag is already 10 years old. (Yes, keep on justifying yourself Jenny...)

Then it happened, I was in a frenzy and I also got myself two colorful sport-bras... because you can never have enough sport-bras. And of course a new hoodie... Nobody wants to get cold on the way home after a great gym-session, right?

Honestly, I wouldn't mind going to work in my gym-clothes...

Definitely my favorite picture for the moment.

Goofing around in Roermond

Let's get ready for Spring-Summer!

Finally Spring has arrived and Summer is waiting for us! Which means that I will start my very first preparation  next month,for my debut-bikini-competition in winter. So I definitely need some new gymclothes to look fancy as hell while working out with my new and personalized training-program... I mean if that's not a good defense to shop...

And as I love my fitfam, I won't be hiding my prey, which I think, perfectly matches the beautiful weather we recently had here in Luxembourg.

Have fun shopping and don't forget, working out is not a reason to dress like a little grey mouse.

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!
