Hanne Strand: Balancing Strength, Family, and the Simple Joys
Hanne Strand, a dedicated CrossFit athlete, navigates the demands of motherhood and a rigorous fitness regimen with unwavering determination and a zest for life.
"It’s CrossFit and running, playing with the kids and working. ooo and then it starts all over again," Strand candidly shares on Instagram, providing a glimpse into her active lifestyle.
Strength training lies at the heart of Strand’s fitness philosophy. She frequents the CrossFit gym, focusing on weightlifting to build strength and push her physical boundaries. "Sometimes I go to CrossFit and lift some weights," she remarked on a video showcasing her weightlifting prowess.
The benefits of her dedication extend beyond physical strength. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength training plays a vital role in building strong bones, managing weight, and improving overall quality of life.
Strand isn’t just inspiring herself; she’s also setting a powerful example for her daughter. In a heartwarming Instagram post, she shared a moment with her daughter observing her workout: "Stella doesn’t have to look at Pippi Longstocking, it’s enough that she looks at me 💪 • 90 kg squat clean • @crossfitgota"
Looking ahead to future challenges, Strand remains undeterred. Reflecting on the CrossFit Open in 2024, she wrote on Instagram: "I’m incredibly proud of what I have achieved considering what I have in my luggage and the fact that my body has handled two pregnancies in 3 years. But that’s when it begins… back to the drawing board…"
Despite her demanding schedule, Strand knows the importance of self-care and cherishes the simple joys in life. A quiet moment with a cup of coffee or a refreshing iced beverage serves as a reminder to pause and appreciate the little things.
"Barefoot on the terrace with coffee black as the soul 🖤," she posted on Instagram.
Beyond her gym and family commitments, Strand finds solace and rejuvenation in nature. A recent Instagram post captures her enjoying a beach day with her family: "Saltwater and crazy hair, sand toys, lifeguard and water games under the palm trees🇬🇷"
Spending time in nature, according to Mind.org, can have profound benefits for both mental and physical well-being. Activities like exercising outdoors, even simple things like being around animals, can have a positive impact on our overall health.
Hanne Strand’s journey embodies the power of dedication, resilience, and finding balance amidst life’s many demands.
