Celebrities are known for their impeccable style and fitness routines, and one trainer who knows all about that is Kirsty Godso. The New Zealand-born fitness guru has trained some of the biggest names in Hollywood, including the likes of Khloe Kardashian and Shay Mitchell. And now, she’s sharing her secrets with the rest of us.
At the recent A Day in the Life at Vuori event, Godso shared her tips and tricks for achieving a strong and toned body, and it all starts with channeling your inner Lara Croft. Yes, you read that right – the iconic video game character known for her strength, agility, and killer abs.
But why Lara Croft, you may ask? According to Godso, it’s all about the mindset. “Lara Croft is a strong, powerful, and fearless woman who takes on any challenge that comes her way. And that’s exactly the attitude we need to have in our workouts,” she explains.
Godso believes that our workout style should reflect our mindset, and what better way to do that than channeling a badass character like Lara Croft? “When you dress the part, you feel the part. And when you feel confident and powerful, you can push yourself to new limits in your workout,” she says.
But it’s not just about the clothes – it’s also about the functionality. Godso recommends opting for workout gear that allows you to move freely and comfortably. “Lara Croft is always on the go, jumping, climbing, and running. So, your workout clothes should be able to keep up with you,” she advises.
At the A Day in the Life at Vuori event, Godso put her words into action as she led a high-intensity workout session while dressed in Vuori’s latest collection. The brand, known for its versatile and functional activewear, was the perfect fit for Godso’s Lara Croft-inspired workout.
But it’s not just about looking the part – Godso also stresses the importance of proper form and technique in your workouts. “Just like Lara Croft, we need to have a strong foundation to conquer any challenge. So, make sure you’re using the correct form and technique in your exercises,” she says.
Godso also emphasizes the importance of incorporating strength training into your workout routine. “Lara Croft is known for her strength, and that’s because she trains with weights. Don’t be afraid to lift – it will help you build a strong and toned body,” she explains.
And for those who may be intimidated by strength training, Godso has some words of encouragement. “It’s all about starting small and gradually increasing the weight. You’ll be surprised at how quickly you’ll see results and feel stronger,” she says.
But it’s not just about physical strength – Godso also believes in the power of mental strength. “Lara Croft never gives up, and neither should we. Push yourself out of your comfort zone and challenge yourself to do more than you think you’re capable of,” she says.
And for those days when you may not feel like working out, Godso has a simple yet effective mantra – “Just show up.” She explains, “Even if you’re not feeling your best, just show up and do what you can. That’s better than not doing anything at all.”
As the event came to an end, Godso left the attendees feeling inspired and motivated to channel their inner Lara Croft in their workouts. And it’s safe to say that we all left with a newfound appreciation for the iconic character and her strength.
So, the next time you hit the gym or go for a run, remember to channel your inner Lara Croft. Dress the part, train with weights, and most importantly, never give up. With these tips from Kirsty Godso, you’ll be well on your way to achieving a strong and toned body, just like the fearless Lara Croft.
