You have stood 3rd twice at the European Indoor Championships, what training routine do you follow to stay fit & strong?
Angelica Bengtsson:
I’ve also succeeded to come 3rd one time outdoor. I train 6 days a week, two times pole vault, two times sprint, two times strength and together with that we add a session of gymnastics and yoga for my wellbeing.
Namita Nayyar:
5 Favorite exercises that are a must in your workout routine.
Angelica Bengtsson:
I love all exercises that includes the arms. During the day I do handstands anytime I have the chance and before I go to sleep I find that some pushups help to get tired enough to fall asleep faster. Other exercises I love are muscle ups in the olympic rings, straight pullovers (typical pole vault exercise) and jerk.
Namita Nayyar:
What does Women Fitness mean to you? Why health needs to be a priority?
Angelica Bengtsson:
The woman is a very complicated organism, purely biology wise, with all hormones that differ from time to time during the month. Therefore it’s even more important for women to be in balance and to stay healthy, to be able to resist in those moments when our body threatens to try to kill us from the inside.
Namita Nayyar:
Biggest challenges you faced after entering the competitions?
Angelica Bengtsson:
There are always those last attempts at a height. The way to tackle them is to convince myself that the audience expect me to fail now anyways, so if I succeed everyone would be so surprised and happy. So when I stand there before my last attempt I am thinking about how happy everyone becomes when I surprisingly succeed and I find myself smiling. Then I often also succeed.
