Personal Trainer
- The model admitted in an interview that she has always been very thin and hence never felt the need to follow any specific diet. She believes in eating everything in moderation.
- However, the pressure to stay in a consistent dress size in the fashion industry is immense.
- With the motive to stay strong, lean, and toned, Mini has been taking personal training sessions with the celebrity trainer, Viveca Jensen.
- In 2009-2010, Viveca combined Pilates, boxing, and dance to invent an original form of exercise class called Piloxing and Mini Andén swears by the potency of this method.
- Viveca conducts Piloxing at three levels of intensity namely –
- The Original Piloxing Program (a non-stop cardio fusion)
- Piloxing Barre (a low impact class that focuses on full body awareness)
- Piloxing Knockout (a high-intensity 45-minute class that involves plyometric movements and challenges the core for the entire duration, building functional strength)
- Mini Andén attended Pilates sessions with Viveca throughout her pregnancy and resumed private classes 3 times a week, 6 weeks postpartum.
- More than cardio, Mini’s primary focus is building strength and toning. Hence, Viveca usually trains her on the standard Pilates apparatus such as the reformer, Pilates chair, barrel, the tower and the Cadillac.
- Outside this equipment, Viveca incorporates balance training for Mini using the Bosu ball and TRX suspension trainer.
- Her trainer also prescribes body weight strength exercises done in a quick circuit whenever Mini finds herself with spare time while traveling.
