Fitness Athlete and Model Lene Hansen Talks With TheAthleticBuild.com

Lene Hansen is a fitness competitor, model and mother of three from Norway. She sat down to talk with us.

How did you get started in bodybuilding/fitness?

Well, I started early to compete with the boys at school. Wanted to be best in gym and run as fast as them when we played soccer and sports like that. I played football, had a back problem and when I got pregnant at the of age of 17 I started to lift more weights,because I had to run less. That’s how it started. Between year 19 and 21 I really focused on building a strong back and body. And I got awesome results in such short time, but then I started with football and dance-classes again and did that for some years.

What is your favorite body part to train?

Booty,shoulder and legs.. !! I have always had well trained arms and upper body,but I`m having trouble with my ass and legs..Always been really skinny,but muscular in my arms. So I love to see the results on my ass and the shape I can build. Want to get a narrow waist and it helps with some round deltoids, more muscles on my quads and specially the lateral side. Nothing is like a bouncy ass!

Can you give us a sample of your routine?

I do a 4 or a 5 split. Try to train my whole body twice a week and focus on my week points to get a symmetric and strong body as possible.

I have to ask, can you tell us what you did to get that butt?

Haha..Well,after 3 kids I couldn’t stand watching that my ass was gone,not in the mirror and especially not in front of the magazine FHM Norway !! I love bootys and couldn’t accept that my was just all gone. So I started to lift more weight again, did less cardio and eat more!
