Dormagen (NRW) – Sneakers instead of slippers!
Andrea (37) and Jan Erik Kruse (38) have the sportiest living room in NRW. Because: The heart of their house in Dormagen is a 60 square meter training room. With racing bike, weight bench, yoga corner, treadmill. This is where they spend most of their free time.
“If we watch TV, then here,” says Andrea. And while “Bridgerton” is running on the giant monitor, it is running too. The biochemist, who works in sporting goods marketing, has just returned from a trip to the USA. There she ran from Boston to New York (575 kilometers) – in just eleven days!
Her children Naja (3) and Mila (1) also have a fitness room: the Tobe room under the roof
The former professional athlete took part in all the big marathons: in Tokyo, New York, Jerusalem. Where did she learn to love her husband? “On the Tramuntana Trail! A run over Mallorca’s mountain ridges.” Every year they celebrate their anniversary with this 100 km long ultra trail.
Andrea and Jan Erik spend up to twelve hours a week in the house gym. He early in the morning, she often until after midnight
They also train for this, among other things. “Ten or twelve hours every week,” says Jan Erik. Because the couple has two daughters, this is only possible at home. Andrea: “For us, sport is part of life and everyday life.”
