I’ve been going to the gym for the last 2 years 4 days a week for a hour a day and haven’t seen any progress in my stature and I look around the gym sometimes and see that a lot of the regulars who have been going since or before I started look exactly the same? I’m starting to dread going

After nearly two years at gym, i quit. I dont need big muscles. I just go for runs now

Maybe because punishing the body is more for the male body. We thrive on it. We need a break sometimes, but our bodys crave it. I can tell by the difference in how my gf i and i train. I can run a very steep mountain time. And just brutally push my self to the point if misery. She can't. Its not fun. She prefers functional training. High reps. Low volume. Easy recovery.

The westie is so cute!

Your coffee art is getting better!!

Looks amazing Zoe🥹💛

That's literally me 😂

Please make weekly lab vlogs!!

I forgot that if they sell you something so much, be careful, the gym keeps you distracted and stresses you out, I was overtrained, poorly fed, tired all the time, in pain from everything, I think that in the near future I will only train at home and 30 minutes 3 times After a week maximum, enjoying life is better than being in the gym worried about not completing the entire routine. That stresses, tires and makes you sick. thanks for sharing

Attunement with your body is loving it, not deciding with your mind what you think is best based on what you see other people doing. Your body has wisdom. Listen. ❤

Congratulations, well done!

What do I do when I even find walking hard now?🤦‍♀️

youre a woman so ofc you can quit. No one's judging you after all.

Same. I used to lift heavy and although I felt like a tank, I didn't feel "healthy" per se. Lifting in the evening also gave me terrible insomnia. These days I go for a simple calisthenics workout, a hike or a run. Makes me feel good and i'm not as tied to a routine

my dream body -hourglass -big hips✅ -slim arms ✅ -slim waist ❌ -flat stomach ❌

This video actually made me cry Its the first time im hearing someone share the same experience, and this feels so validating and refreshing At some point I would force myself to workout and end up crying and feeling really bad, I just stop being able to lift weights and enjoy it... Im also running and doing pilates now, its something that I can actually enjoy WHILE im doing it! Still struggling with the beauty standards and people saying that if you run you lose muscles blah blah but Im trying to listen to my body and if I want to run, Ill just run! Courage for anyone going through this, remember that the most important part is that you are doing something that is sustainable for you! And enjoying life :) Whats the point on spending all of your time trying to look a certain way if youre taking out from enjoying life Just listen to your body and do whatever makes you healthier and happier :)

I stopped going to the gym because I was being targeted by adult female bullies who felt threatened by my results. They were the instructors! I LOVED working out and trained 2 hours a day, 7 days a week. Naturally I got ripped and the female staff at the gym took it badly. They started rumors that I was taking drugs to get shredded (which I was NOT unless you count preworkout drinks!). They made awful comments about my appearance in front of others to humiliate me, and they told everyone I was crazy when I called them out on their behavior. I left and shifted towns and will never join another gym because insecure mean gym girls are rampant. I workout at home now.

😂😂😂

I found my people. Thanks so much . Love the video

Its the fitness culture tbh its becoming so toxic, im so done

I quit the gym for calisthenics. I’ve tried both and got injured way more with weights than calisthenics

The world is your gym

I was happier for 5 months and finally achieved my slim face goal then I let some comments get to me and freaked out and started doing lat pull downs and now I lost my narrow face/cheeks I am so sad. I want to quit so bad but it will feel like I'm being a quitter who already quit on themselves but is now quitting in others.. I have to be true to me though

gym burn out is real

I like tge gym its relaxing but i try to do things with proper form and go light

i wanted to say thank you, ive watched for a while and you are part of the reason i started my channel. I needed a creative outlet and for my last job i managed the social media pages and fell in love with editing. So i took a leap and have brought my two passions together. Thank you Zoe

What you said about that whole "no excuses" mantra, is so true!! It's like you're supposed to feel guilty if you don't choose to aggressively push yourself on a consistent basis. I've been feeling similar about going to the gym this past year. I also was doing heavy weight training. Building muscle is great but it always left me so exhausted. Plus it became harder and harder to motivate myself to go. Especially with my current job (when I got into lifting, I was in college and had more time. But now with my hectic job it is just so much harder to have the energy for it). Lately I've been running outside (or I go for a walk if I'm too tired! The goal is to be active even if I'm not going hard). I also signed up for megaformer pilates classes, which I have been liking (it's challenging but low impact). I feel like lifting heavy doesn't work for my current lifestyle and needs right now as well. And I relate to initially being worried that my workouts wouldn't be intense enough if I'm not lifting heavy. But PLENTY of people who don't lift heavy weights are fit and athletic. There's more than one way to be fit and healthy.😉

Hi. I started weightlifting at 14 and just recently quit and ALL intense exercise at 22 years old.. indefinitely. I have come to the conclusion that damaging my body is extremely stressful and detrimental to aging. If my environment doesn’t require that I’m strong and excessively fit, then why am I forcing myself to be? I no longer wake up daily with tight neck, back and hips. This perspective is totally unconventional and irregular, so it might shock you as you read it. But I hope I can open somebody up to escaping exercise slavery. Preserve your body, eat incredibly well and live as relaxed as you want, without guilt - though it may take a while to unprogram yourself from the toxic ‘work hard’ paradox

I'm white myself and even I use my friend's parents last names when referring to them

This was so honest. I just subbed. I feel the same guilt, except for going out instead of working out. I've never really worked out consistently. I'm working on accepting that I probably never will. (But long walks, dancing and occastional yoga makes me incredibly happy)

Ok this is really interesting

If she stops uploading, we'll know why

Glad you’re still posting even with your work! You’re an inspiration 🎉

I post a lot of videos on YT and I've never done this 🤔 Where are you meeting your UA-camrs?

I’m so happy for you!

Sorry what, a racist??? 💀💀💀

it’s different when you’re a man

Did you file off the top coat?

I watched your “why I quit lifting” video and I really enjoyed it. I’m 37, been lifting since 22 and it’s so hard to let go of but I keep feeling like I need to. I’ve been wanting to pick up running but fearful I’m going to injure myself (says the girl who lifts heavy weights) hahaha 🤦🏻‍♀️ Anyway I really enjoy your videos! ❤

Plant name : phoenix ❤

I really wish you'd get back into Gym

I first saw the video and then saw the likes which surprised me because the quality is really good. Sure you will start to blow up.

I quit the gym after 8 years I couldn’t feel more free, no more guilt, no more wasting my life

I love your accent ❤

Gym isnt healthy, i stopped going over a year ago, now i do sprints and be more flexible , improve body weight exercise.. much better than boring "gym"

I quit the gym 4 months ago in order to train with a trainer in group sessions. Best decision I made. Feeling stronger than ever.

Ur so pretty ❤

Gorgeous that top looks amazing on you ❤

As someone who has lifted since 2010. Battled body dysmorphia and a crazy eating disorder. I understand everything your talking about in this video. I’m currently going through the same process. I have gone from 205 pounds that I forced on from constantly eating and lifting to 165 or so. I had so many physical complications that my doctor was worried. I’m finally getting to the point I don’t even enjoy going into a gym but my anxiety is through the roof because of my body dysmorphia. Watching your body change into a more natural form after years of trying to force it to be something else is really challenging for me.
