Celebrities are known for their fit and toned bodies, and it’s no secret that they have an army of trainers and nutritionists to help them achieve their fitness goals. But what if we told you that you can also train like a celebrity? The secret lies in channeling the iconic Lara Croft in your workout style, and celebrity trainer Kirsty Godso is here to tell us why.
Godso, who has trained the likes of model Karlie Kloss and actress Shay Mitchell, recently shared her fitness expertise at the A Day in the Life at Vuori event. The event, which was hosted by activewear brand Vuori, brought together fitness enthusiasts and industry professionals for a day of workouts, wellness, and inspiration.
In an exclusive interview with ET, Godso revealed the inspiration behind her workout style and why everyone should channel their inner Lara Croft in their fitness routine.
Godso, who has been a fan of the Tomb Raider franchise since her childhood, believes that Lara Croft embodies strength, resilience, and determination. These are all qualities that we can channel in our workouts to push ourselves to new heights.
“Lara Croft is the epitome of a strong and badass woman. She’s a role model for many, and I believe that we can all channel her energy in our workouts. She’s not afraid to take on challenges and overcome obstacles, and that’s what we should all aspire to do in our fitness journey,” Godso explains.
So, how can we incorporate Lara Croft’s energy into our workouts? Godso suggests starting with our mindset. “Before every workout, I encourage my clients to set an intention. This could be anything from wanting to push themselves harder or to simply have fun. I tell them to channel their inner Lara Croft and become the strong and fearless version of themselves. This helps them to stay motivated and focused throughout their workout,” she says.
In addition to mindset, Godso also believes in dressing the part. “Your workout attire can have a huge impact on your performance. When you put on activewear that makes you feel confident and powerful, you automatically bring that energy into your workout. This is where channeling Lara Croft’s style comes in. Opt for form-fitting activewear that allows you to move freely, just like Lara’s iconic outfit. This will not only make you feel like a badass but also enhance your performance,” she shares.
At the A Day in the Life at Vuori event, Godso led a high-intensity workout that combined elements of strength training, cardio, and agility, all while channeling Lara Croft’s fierce energy. The workout was a hit among attendees, who were inspired to push themselves beyond their limits.
But it’s not just about the physical aspect of the workout. Godso also emphasizes the importance of mental and emotional well-being. “Lara Croft is not just physically strong, but also mentally and emotionally resilient. It’s important to take care of our mental and emotional health, especially in these challenging times. I always tell my clients to listen to their bodies and take breaks when needed. It’s all about finding balance and being kind to ourselves,” she adds.
Godso’s approach to fitness is refreshing and empowering. She believes that anyone can train like a celebrity by channeling their inner Lara Croft and embracing their strength and determination. And with the right mindset, activewear, and balance, we can all achieve our fitness goals and feel like the badass that we truly are.
So, the next time you hit the gym or join a workout class, remember to channel your inner Lara Croft. And who knows, you may just surprise yourself with what you’re capable of. As Kirsty Godso says, “You are the hero of your own story, so why not train like one?”
