Danish model Freja Beha Erichsen, well-known for her androgynous style and easy calm, also boasts a shockingly powerful, athletic body.
Her exercise program emphasises developing mental as well as physical strength, and she attributes weightlifting and a healthy diet for reaching that level.
Freja once said, in an interview, “I love lifting weights.” “It gives me great strength and empowerment.” Unlike many models who concentrate on cardio, Freja bases her workout on strength building.
She lifts weights several times a week, concentrating on deadlifts, squats, and bench presses—compound exercises. Working several muscle groups at once, these motions help her develop lean muscle and increase general body composition. Apart from giving Freja a toned figure, weightlifting increases her confidence, therefore empowering her both on and off the runway.
She is fast to note, though, that fitness is about what you put into your body as much as it is about working out. “I try to get enough protein from eggs, lean meats, or plant-based sources like quinoa and lentils,” Freja explains.
Freja makes sure she receives lots of healthy fats, complex carbohydrates, and veggies to power her body and repair after demanding workouts in addition to a diet heavy in proteins. Her muscles are kept fed and her energy is maintained by this all-around strategy, which lets her keep pushing herself in the gym.
Strength for Freja is a way of thinking. She keeps her toughness and inner power in addition to her lean body by combining training with smart diet. Consistency is crucial, as she says. Continue to challenge yourself; remember also to enjoy the process.
