Throughout her adult life, Kathinka Vatne (40) has avoided exercising. That changed when she read about Myworkout Go.
“I have worn out just one pair of sneakers the last 15 years.”
Throughout her adult life, Kathinka Vatne (40) has avoided exercising. However, when the news of Myworkout Go hit the media, she started thinking about her inactive lifestyle and wondered if this app could give her an answer on how healthy her body was.
“I have, despite training refusal, been curious about how my physical level is compared with others. I've never had anything to measure it against. One sunny day in April, when few people were out running, I decided to give it a try.”
Kathinka blame the famous midlife crisis when she explains why she started exercising, but her first workout of many, many years would prove to be a positive experience. How can it not be motivating to get a result of 35 in biological age, especially since she just turned 40?
“Everybody around me knows that I really dreaded turning 40. Me beginning to exercise is an appropriate expression of the fear of getting older and the fact that time work against me”

Although the midlife crisis perhaps was a triggering factor for Kathinka´s newly found workout motivation, she found the motivation to continue exercising in Myworkout Go.
How did the people around you react when you suddenly started exercising?
“After the first interval session I sent a screenshot with the result to my husband. He was at lunch with several colleagues, and they suggested that I was cheating on him because I had started exercising. I have never felt this kind of motivation before”
Kathinka says and laughs.
Kathinka points out that she has only received positive feedback after she started exercising, and she has also begun to challenge her friends to download Myworkout Go.“I do not go around telling people I have started to exercise, but I've challenged friends and my sister in law to download the app and try it”, she says. Kathinka downloaded Myworkout Go earlier this year and since then she has exercised regularly, twice a week.
“I have never set foot at a gym, but this feels like something I can continue doing. I've found a rhythm, and it feels like a permanent change."
