- 0:13welcome back to another episode of
- 0:14backyard life and today we are moving
- 0:16onto thin ice kiss we are gonna do a
- 0:19workout together with you guys I'm gonna
- 0:21show you my preferred workout for motor
- 0:23sport athletes bring on the the
- 0:25healthiness into backyard life got a
- 0:27quite a few questions from you guys to
- 0:30show more like inside what do we
- 0:32motorsport drivers do between races and
- 0:35today we are in the gym I'm training at
- 0:38in Bali and it's called in a limit
- 0:39CrossFit which is a very very nice
- 0:42CrossFit gym has all the tools that I
- 0:44would like to have is where I kind of
- 0:45build my base before a race weekend for
- 0:49example next week we have the race in
- 0:51Norway in hell the big event for me of
- 0:53the year we bring tons of Bakkerud blues
- 0:55up to to hell it's gonna be great to see
- 0:57all the fans alright so I want to show
- 0:59you guys some different workouts which I
- 1:01use we're gonna work with some core
- 1:03we're gonna work do a simple workout
- 1:05which it's gonna be very very fast but
- 1:07high poles and high intensity different
- 1:10motorsport requires different training
- 1:12for example for me in rallycross has one
- 1:14type of fitness form and you have
- 1:16Formula One athletes which has a
- 1:17complete different one so I follow my
- 1:20workouts in rallycross to get more fit
- 1:22and prepared for races where I think
- 1:24marks for stopping for example which
- 1:26drives f1p follow his path but yeah
- 1:29let's get to it
- 1:30alright so normally I start with
- 1:32stretching before I go over to so
- 1:35warm-up sessions which can either be
- 1:37like rowing or assault bike or jumping
- 1:40jack no jumping rope it's called jumping
- 1:44rope I think in radicals or in
- 1:46motorsport in general you need to be
- 1:47quite athletic and a nice way to forget
- 1:55[Music]
- 2:02I'm not very flexible but a little I
- 2:05think that's good for anymore sport or
- 2:08any athlete at all to be flexible so
- 2:12normally whenever I travel I bring
- 2:13jumping rope with me it's super simple
- 2:15it has no weight so you can bring it in
- 2:18your suitcase everywhere you go in a
- 2:19hand luggage it looks silly if you're on
- 2:21the airport actually jumping around you
- 2:24can probably do that to something which
- 2:37is very very important in every athletes
- 2:39life its core training and that's also
- 2:41without a doubt in motorsport especially
- 2:43I remember in karting you know you're
- 2:44sitting here very like tight with your
- 2:47stomach in the seat you're sitting and
- 2:48tightening up your stomach and your back
- 2:51and I think the core Fitness in
- 2:53motorsport is generally where you need
- 2:55to focus the most and the biggest time
- 2:58of your workouts needs to be around your
- 3:00core it's extremely important to have a
- 3:02good core when doing motor sports so you
- 3:04guys probably remember the crash I had
- 3:06with Timmy in Abu Dhabi that was
- 3:11measured with the G sensor we have in a
- 3:13car on seven G's the G sensor actually
- 3:16stopped working at seven and it got
- 3:18destroyed so it was probably over seven
- 3:20GS
- 3:21so in those situation those are extreme
- 3:23situations but there it's more important
- 3:26than ever to have a strong core I was
- 3:28bruised for one and a half week he felt
- 3:30that pain in my lower back some pain in
- 3:32my neck shoulder but other than that it
- 3:35took one a half week two weeks to get
- 3:37hundred-percent
- 3:38but if I didn't have a strong core that
- 3:40would be so much worse I would probably
- 3:42go to hospital and get straighten up
- 3:44after I hit when your body is stuck but
- 3:47your body wants to go this way I would
- 3:49be probably twisted around 120 degrees
- 3:51all right so let's do some core workouts
- 3:54normally when I choose exercises I would
- 3:56like fun exercises I don't like to do
- 3:58200 sit-ups and ones I would like to
- 4:01find fun exercises I use medicine ball a
- 4:03lot like explosive workouts use your
- 4:06whole body so I don't know what this one
- 4:08is called but we do it a lot together
- 4:10with the national coach in Norway
- 4:17[Music]
- 4:28all right speaking of a-kor very
- 4:30important is your back core muscles you
- 4:33can find it in almost every gym you go
- 4:36up to here if it's too easy for you you
- 4:39can have weights many people get very
- 4:42tired in their lives
- 4:43including myself try to relax more in
- 4:45your legs and let the back do the work
- 4:48if you don't have the correct equipment
- 4:50at home you can always do back extension
- 4:53like this it is pretty much as simple as
- 4:56that when I'm out traveling 270 days a
- 4:58year then I use this a lot so the reason
- 5:00I'm here at in a limit CrossFit is that
- 5:02you have a lot of different stuff you
- 5:04can do as an athlete you can jump in the
- 5:07Rings or rope or use the pull up rig or
- 5:10cross-country skiing you have so many
- 5:12different element you can use and in
- 5:14CrossFit there's so many different
- 5:16workouts for example for me I'm not a
- 5:18very strong athlete I don't squat mush I
- 5:21don't deadlift modular on bank press
- 5:23much as a motorsport athlete you would
- 5:25like to stay light so my aim is to be
- 5:28around 72 kilos when I did the DTM test
- 5:31I was the heaviest in Spain last year I
- 5:33was 80 kilo with full equipment helmet
- 5:35suit shoes gloves everything where I
- 5:39think the closest one was at 74 so yeah
- 5:42I think most people at least are pretty
- 5:44skinny
- 5:44they don't have much leg muscles but
- 5:47they are pretty strong in their core
- 5:49which is the key and essential key to
- 5:51everything I'm not sure if you guys
- 5:52remember the DTM test I did the seat was
- 5:55a little bit too big and I was like
- 5:57floating around and the seat a little
- 5:59bit too much and I was tightening up my
- 6:01core
- 6:08and you especially my lower back to
- 6:10tighten up my myself when I was driving
- 6:12and I was so tired after the half a day
- 6:15I did in the car there was a lot of new
- 6:17muscles I never thought that I had in my
- 6:19body I should definitely have used the
- 6:21back extension a little bit more with
- 6:23you guys remember I was like I've never
- 6:25been so wet in my entire life it was so
- 6:27warm in our cockpit because I'm so I'm
- 6:32wet it was very warm in the car I've
- 6:34been sitting there for a whole day so I
- 6:36will change my back is I didn't want to
- 6:40say to anyone it's painful and I tried
- 6:43to hold on to the steering wheel and
- 6:44everything I had and the g-forces you
- 6:46have when you're racing also I do think
- 6:48part of your neck muscle is also
- 6:50connected to your lower back and core
- 6:53obviously your head is attached to your
- 6:54body so when you are in long corners and
- 6:58you have a lot of g-forces pressing your
- 6:59head either way you start with your core
- 7:02and then it goes up to your neck muscles
- 7:04to keep your head in space so I think
- 7:07the core is essential biggest muscle if
- 7:10you're gonna do long endurance racing or
- 7:12work with something that has a lot of
- 7:14g-forces for your neck like you see I
- 7:16like to go a little bit back and forward
- 7:18with front and back again side to side
- 7:20I'm sure everybody have seen this
- 7:22exercise before touch the floor first up
- 7:25lift your legs it get heavier and you
- 7:28can work with your coordination at the
- 7:29same time so I try to find different
- 7:32type of core training and now I had over
- 7:35to the Rings where we will work on both
- 7:37the back and the front together you put
- 7:40the legs in you can either stand like
- 7:42this
- 7:43[Music]
- 7:48he's nice is nice alright so that was
- 7:53very simple just a couple of exercises
- 7:55correlated stomach and lower back right
- 7:58now I want to go into workouts well
- 8:01minis workout it works very efficient
- 8:03you get your heart rhythm up very fast
- 8:05normally it's like 30 minutes or even
- 8:08longer workouts today I put up a
- 8:1112-minute workout just we got to see and
- 8:14understand how it works it's gonna be
- 8:15just peek up to your max heart rate and
- 8:18try to stay in that gap and in that way
- 8:20no for a short time for only 12 minutes
- 8:22so the workout I'm having today is I'm
- 8:25wrapped 12 so it's it's gonna be 12
- 8:27Global's it's gonna be 12 kettlebell
- 8:30swing 12 push-ups and then ended up with
- 8:3212 toasted bar when I'm done with that
- 8:35then I go back to the wall ball 12 new
- 8:38they're back to 12
- 8:39a kettlebell I'd think you understand
- 8:41the game so it just keeps on going until
- 8:43you have done a 12 minute workout
- 8:45heartrate get up very fast and the first
- 8:47two three realms will be very easy then
- 8:50you're gonna get the hammer and then you
- 8:52need to stick in the zone and try to
- 8:54live alright so wish me luck right we
- 9:00ready we are ready by the way it's 10:00
- 9:02p.m. so my screen is already turned to
- 9:05night night mode alright so twelve
- 9:08minutes on the clock
- 9:10go
- 9:14[Music]
- 9:16[Applause]
- 9:17[Music]
- 9:36[Music]
- 9:42[Applause]
- 9:43[Music]
- 9:58it's not fun so it's up to you guys
- 10:01comment below how many wrongs do you get
- 10:03if you comment how many wrongs you did
- 10:05then maybe I'll let you guys know how
- 10:07many wrongs I did so the reason why I
- 10:12like to do this is that it's short for
- 10:14sure the wood we did today was kind of
- 10:17extreme I shouldn't have added the
- 10:18toaster bar you can take away the
- 10:20toaster bar and put in jumping rope or
- 10:22something a little bit easier or you can
- 10:24choose your level you can change all the
- 10:26kind of workouts we had with different
- 10:29stuff like sit-ups you can add in there
- 10:31you can do squats you can do the
- 10:33important thing is that you are doing
- 10:35something and that you get your heart
- 10:36rhythm very fast especially for
- 10:38rallycross I think this is the best form
- 10:40of workouts for me it doesn't
- 10:42necessarily be the best way for you to
- 10:45get in shape but I have a short window
- 10:47every day where I can do a workout of
- 10:49tons of different stuff to do during the
- 10:50day so for me to get in here to in early
- 10:52May CrossFit to do a fast workout
- 10:55together with them be competitive with
- 10:57other athletes Omar Gooding strength
- 10:59someone good in cardio some are good in
- 11:01movement some are good in running it's
- 11:04others are good in rowing combining
- 11:06everything it's like like rallycross is
- 11:08motorsports MMA I think also CrossFit is
- 11:11Fitness MMA it's a mix of everything
- 11:14alright I'm just going I just got to
- 11:16catch my breath and then I'm going to
- 11:18show you guys our very cool and very
- 11:19necessary workout for a more sport
- 11:22athlete it doesn't need to be rallycross
- 11:24or a limo driver of f1 everybody's doing
- 11:26it so this is my go-kart helmet slash
- 11:29racing helmet I used it back in 2016 and
- 11:3317 we're gonna do a neck workout so this
- 11:37you can do at home you can be at the
- 11:39coach or it can be in bed
- 11:40put the helmet on 20 times upwards 20
- 11:44times the left side 20 times the right
- 11:46side when you have got the hang of it
- 11:48do more longer workouts with neck I used
- 11:51especially when I started to become like
- 11:5412 13 years old in karting when yellow
- 11:56big tires a high grip and a struggle
- 12:00with my neck and core muscles so this
- 12:02exercise I did all the time we can do a
- 12:04couple of hair right now as you can see
- 12:06the best thing you don't even need to
- 12:07tie up this thing yeah now you go from
- 12:10straight and up here 20 times and then
- 12:17you go side you go a little bit down go
- 12:20up there and then you do the other side
- 12:25so I keeping with the neck exercises is
- 12:28that you need to be very careful with
- 12:30your neck you can't start flying in
- 12:32hundreds workouts on your neck
- 12:34immediately you need to start somewhere
- 12:35be gentle with your neck it takes time
- 12:37for your neck muscles to to react
- 12:40you only have one neck and you don't
- 12:41want to destroy it so don't go crazy
- 12:43banana start with something easy you can
- 12:45start without the helmet do the same
- 12:47exercises without the helmet and then
- 12:48put on a helmet when you feel that's
- 12:50easy and do more reputation for me this
- 12:52helped me tons alright so this was some
- 12:55of the exercise I like to do when I'm at
- 12:57the CrossFit Center alright I'm not
- 12:59always bringing a helmet or a CrossFit
- 13:01gym but I always try to do something fun
- 13:04when I'm doing workout so you know we do
- 13:07a lot of training and I think training
- 13:09is supposed to be fun you don't need to
- 13:11run 10,000 meter in a certain time I
- 13:13just think you need to be in general
- 13:15good shape and you need to enjoy what
- 13:17you're doing so that's why I try to play
- 13:19some games when I'm training you know
- 13:21try to find fun stuff challenge myself
- 13:23the best world rally driver ever
- 13:26sebastien loeb he was a very good
- 13:28gymnastic athlete before he joined
- 13:30rallying so I do think that we need to
- 13:33do a little bit like him I'm gonna be
- 13:43impressed if you get over this line
