Katrín Davíðsdóttir, a renowned CrossFit athlete, constantly motivates her followers by sharing her fitness journey on Instagram. Recently, she posted a video of herself applying sunscreen before embarking on a run, highlighting the importance of sun protection. In her caption, she expressed her joy about getting back into her training routine: “SO HAPPY to be training consistently again 😭☀️ & soaking in the last of these summer rays! .. with SPF of course 😏 Went for a 4 mile run with Koda this morning 🐾🐺🩶Then this afternoon did 6x600m on the assault runner with 2:00 rest between. Felt like I was running at decent speed today & got a decent volume! AHHHHHH WOW THANKFUL to be moving & sweating in sun ❤️🫶🏼☀️”
As you can see from the caption of her Instagram post, Davíðsdóttir likes to run to stay in shape. Valley Oaks states that running is very beneficial. “After going for a run, your body experiences a drop in the stress hormone cortisol. This reduction diminishes feelings of stress, allowing you to go about the rest of your day with less tension and anxiety. In addition to mitigating stress, running also invokes feelings of calmness. Following a run, your body releases chemicals called endocannabinoids. These chemicals flow through your bloodstream and into your brain, relaxing your mind and body.”
Davíðsdóttir likes to use a stationary bike to stay in shape. She shared this video on Instagram of herself riding one in the sun. Davíðsdóttir captioned the post, “Morning ride with my Kodaboy ☀️🐺🥹🫶🏼 It was a leg burner, but got the job done when I didn’t have much time! 1:00 – 2:00 – 3:00 – 4:00: Sitting at a low threshold pace. Standing at a Damper 10 For a total of 20mins! Let me know if you try it. The 3 & 4 minutes start to get reeeeeal spicy on the standing 🌶️🔥😮💨” Davíðsdóttir is also seen on a bike in this video.
Davíðsdóttir spends a lot of time outside. One thing she enjoys doing is going surfing. She shared some videos of herself riding the waves in this Instagram post. Davíðsdóttir captioned it, “Summer lake nights – there is nothing like it ☀️🧡🏄🏼♀️🌊 Got to have my Tori with us this whole week & if you leave the sound on for ANY of the videos you will basically just hear belly laughter 😂🫶🏼🌻 she’s my happy little sunflower. LOVE YOU TOR @toridysonnn.”
Another outdoor workout Davíðsdóttir enjoys is going on hikes. She shared this post on Instagram of herself and her boyfriend hiking in Iceland. Davíðsdóttir captioned the post, “My Canadian boyfriend showing me all around Iceland ❤️🌋This was my first time getting to join a @worldplayground experience! My plan was to join much more of the trip, but since I was still only 2 weeks out from my surgery & I wasn’t ready to do hard, long hikes .. BUT this one was relatively light & only 3.2 km each way & I didn’t want to miss out on this experince & holy smokes it didn’t dissapoint (also I was so proud of my back 🥹 it was a big step in my recovery & showing myself what I can do!!!).”
Davíðsdóttir shared this video on Instagram of herself doing different stretches in the gym. Harvard Health states that stretching is very beneficial. “Stretching keeps the muscles flexible and healthy, and we need that flexibility to maintain a range of motion in the joints. Without it, the muscles shorten and become tight. Then, when you call on the muscles for activity, they are unable to extend all the way. That puts you at risk for joint pain, strains, and muscle damage.”
