What's your favourite thing about summer? - My favourite thing about
summer is the energy it brings. Longer days, sunshine, being outside
more and feeling like you have a mini-holiday after work.

What's your favourite workout?
- I love switching it up, but my favourite workout is probably a good gym
session or playing padel.


I like workouts that make me feel strong,
active and energized, and I love combining that with Pilates and long
walks throughout the week.

What are your training goals right now?
- Right now, my training goals are to stay consistent, build strength,
improve my overall fitness and feel good in my body.


I want to feel strong, energized and healthy, while keeping my routine fun

What are your favourite pieces from Björn Borg?
- The Studio ribbed shorts are perfect for Summer, the palace blue is my
favorite color. It just looks amazing with a tan!

Besides, Björn Borg tennis/padel outfits just always make me fall in love. The Ace scooped racerback dress, the Ace skirt with pockets in diva pink or pink lady, I
am just obsessed!


And I love for men how there are so many mix/match options with all the amazing bright colors.
