It is all about feeling healthy and not looking healthy. That is what my mum tell me. Love you mum
I LOVE THIS ❤
Lord this ❤❤❤❤
Ja das tut mir leid für jüngere Leute die ihre Gesellschaft und Umgebung nicht so bestimmt wählen können und dürfen
I hear you, I feel you, I completely understand! To answer your question, powerful white men decided long ago what the ideal woman looks like. Thank G-D that has changed and morphed over the last years. Social media is absolutely causing anxiety in women who compare themselves to unrealistic, airbrushed posts. You keep it real and you get it done.
Meanwhile my mom is the opposite 😭
i know social media is important for content creators but ever since i deleted all my apps and online profiles, I've been a lot happier
Yes only UA-cam, WhatsApp for free calls and Tumblr for Art noueveau doors nothing more
Social media and pretty much all technology is what's wrong with people. If we took care of what's most important, we would all be so much better off.
It sucks when it is your own mother who keeps comparing you and judging your looks
Yep I know that feeling too 😢
Same here. You're the only one who knows your truth, so don't listen to anyone and do what makes you happy 💛
My mother does it too... She even compares my food and tells me quite often that my meals are way too low in calories or have too less fat😢 (btw I try to recover from an ED and am able not to loose weight anymore)
@@Sockenkatze309 she is just scared for you, because of your past. She does not mean it in a bad way..
@@kreativlyThat might be true but she was the one who told me to loose weight 😕
You are so right ,Anna. I lost my period after I done the terrible “ Lemon Detox( 14days no eating, just drink a little of lemon coconut water )10years ago after I had my first baby. I was so stupid at that time, I just lost a little bit weight but I lost my period for almost 7 months, then after I got eating disorder, I don’t know how to eat, and I don’t know how much I should eat. I run 6km everyday, and I became very upset sometime,also don’t like myself. Then after I turned to a very slim woman, 43kg from 55kg. I was not happy, at that time I want to have my 2nd baby. I stopped running, and stressing myself. Now, i have two boys, I have regular period, I eat healthy, and workout sometimes to make myself feel good like you said. I’m very happy, and I’m growing. ❤
you have wonderful nails.
and about the fitness bubble - you are one the few who really make a difference, who teach acceptance and balance and selfcare and selflove in a right way. So please don't stop or drop out.
Your workouts help (me) in every day life, helping with the struggle, helping with staying focussed, being and staying motivated.

I am a 14 year old girl. Sometimes I just can't help comparing myself to others. I ask myself why I'm short, why my legs aren't as thin as theirs, why they swim faster than me, why I'm not as pretty as them. Whenever I see their perfect faces and bodies I feel weak myself. But today, I watched four of your podcast videos and to be honest, it really saved me and made me feel amazing. You are a very positive girl. So I just really want to thank you and tell you that we can work together to love ourselves. Love you, best friend ! XOXO 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡
I feel you …I‘ve gained a lot of weight and I‘m feeling really insecure because I feel like I‘m the only one experiencing that🫠 But I‘ll be fine and you‘ll be too✨❤️There are so many other things than your weight in life , don‘t define yourself on that.
PS: Aneroxia isn‘t funny , so don‘t stop eating , I beg you ❤️( Really , I lost my personality through that stupid eating dis0rder for like two years ,and that‘s not that much) . I also didn‘t have a healthy relationship with food since 5th grade. Same with my body🥲
So , don‘t do that to yourself ❤️❤️❤️
Anna, you don’t have to feel perfect all the time. I understand what you are going through, and it is hard. But you are beautiful inside and out and the most inspiring person I know. I recently joined your app and I’m excited to grow with you. Grow with Anna is exciting because it is to GROW. It’s not to be perfect. It’s to grow! I just want to let you know that you are a great fitness influencer. The only one I have watched that have kept me healthy and happy. I’ve stopped comparing myself to others because of you ❤️
God bless,
Have a lovely start of April
And happy Easter 🪺🐰
wow I love reading this so much and can't wait to keep GROWING WITH YOU ❤️ happy easter, love you!

Thank you for your honesty. I hundred percent agree we have to change 10 years ago. I sold my body to get breast implants to feel more accepted. I ended up being sick for 10 years going to doctors,medications, supplements, diet, cleanses, and could never figure out the issue. I ended up having breast implant illness! They were releasing so much toxins into my body. I felt poisoned every day. I am three months post explant. And I love my body so much, it’s scarred now and so beautiful. Please please please let’s change this for the future generation let’s learn to eat and move and think and a healthy, loving way.
Hi Anna, you’re not like other fitness creators on the social media. So, please do not compare yourself with them. I am working out many years with your videos on youtube. All of them are perfect and effective. I really understand the difference as I am already following others on youtube. Please just be as you are and share with us your great videos and your smile. :) I am also really happy to get to know you closely thanks to your this new page. You are exactly what I thought you were. You are beautiful and one of my best friends who is remind me always I am also beautiful. Thank you Anna! 💫❤️
thanks so much for writing this 🥹❤️ you all are honestly like my friends and I want everyone to feel amazing and beautiful ❤️
Hi Anna
I have been working out with you here on youtube and on your app for almost a year now. You are definitely not like other fitness content creators. You have a totally different vibe, with the way you wave your hands, smile and move in your videos :-)
Plus, your content is challenging, motivating and realistic. You are the best out there!
Sure, you had to create certain content to satisfy the algorithm, but maybe you've reached to that point in your mental growth, where you've had enough of certain things. That's natural.
Don't wait for the world to change (or, for that matter, the fitness community). I think you should keep doing what you love, because you are your best when you come from love. That's how you attract, that's how you create change. That's how you attracted me and so many others!
Whatever people do from watching social media or workout videos - is their own mental space. It has nothing to do with you.
So, as long as you act from love and integrity, all is fine!
Much love 🤍
Helen
Well said. 👍
I rarely comment on anything, however I really just wanted to let you know how much you have helped me both physically and mentally with your workouts. I love your workout style, your personality and you look amazing!! Please don't doubt yourself, you are hands down my favourite fitness creator and I follow along with your youtube workouts nearly everyday. X
anna you can be SO PROUD of yourself. look where you took this channel and community to. such an amazing job!❤ thank you!
thanks for writing this, we are just starting here 🥹❤️ WE KEEP GROWING TEAM
My mother was the worst projector, she would tell me to suck my stomach in, hold in my farts, she gave me laxatives when i was in middle school... so my fitness journey is healing from all of that. Thank you Anna for being vulnerable ❤❤❤
That's abuse! I'm sorry and hope you're healing!
Thank you for being so down to earth and honest about this topic. I feel like no one really is. You are such a fearless warrior and I’m so grateful to have you as a role model! You are so genuine and that’s what keeps me coming back to your channel to help me reach my (realistic😉) fitness goals! Thanks for challenging the crazy world! We’re here with you! #teamgrow!❤️
comparing yourself to others is a thing that most people do automatically when they see someone "better" than themself. and i think even the people we see as "perfect" sometimes compare themselves to other because there’s always something that you don’t have but someone else does. comparing yourself to others can actually be beneficial because you might make a goal that you want to archive but it can also stress you out at some point
sport should bring you health and pleasure at any age. That's the main thing. the intensity of training and its nature should depend on your functional state now. But you have to have fun and be healthy.
Anna, I am really so thankful for your honesty. My belly fat hasn't gone away after I gave birth 13 years ago, and no matter what I did (cutting down on what I eat, exercising, etc) the skin remains saggy and the fat just hangs there. I feel bad when I see flat tummy on fitness influencers because I know I might not be able to wear clothes that show my belly ever. I've come to terms with it and accepted this fact, but still, it feels so comforting that you're trying to tell us not to compare ourselves with the others, because it's such an important message nowadays. There should never be a single standard of beauty. I truly appreciate what you've done. Keep it up!
My philosophy in life is it's ok if you want to compare yourself... but make sure to compare yourself to a cookie, because you want to stay sweet forever. The cookie is your inner child... take a look at little Anna and try to say something negative to that child (it's not possible). Little Anna just wants a kiss and a hug, so make sure to give her what she wants especially when she's older.
I completely feel u❤i used to struggle in my 20s when i jumped in in fitness studios and each person came with their prescribed body workout and strict eating beliefs all facade as i left them... i felt i had to compete.. i forgot about real feeling good and lead me to a vicious petfect circle..
Today i workout regularly i travel i eat everything i want i cook and try new recipees but i dont focus on what how when ... the thing is to feel good and accept myself as i am...i follow people trying recipes from them ... but i dont believe them or follow them blindly... as it never worjed never works... a wise fitness person would say everything is personalised... each person is unique and a fitness advisor should just guide u.. not prescribe u... try to follow kayla itsines the australian fitness girl shes amazing she promotes real in eating in workout and she promotes health not prescription...
you’re the most amazing fitness influencer. i’m in shock how right thing are you talking to us, thank you. i appreciate every your word that you had said to us. thanks a lot for all your advices and thoughts. thank you that you are talking about that problems❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
your what i eat in a day videos are the only ones i actually watch because you show normal portion sizes, normal meals, normal times to eat. I fell so inspired when i finished a new video from you or listened to a podcast episode because it literally feels like a save space. Thanks for your content Anna❤ You are enriching social media ❤
The worst for me is how much I love food but can’t eat without thinking obsessively about my weight / the calories I consume.
And this is coming from someone who is slim, strong and fit by any standard, and who doesn’t have any eating disorders.
Like you Anna, I struggle so much with the tiny lower ‘belly’ I have. And I have such a hard time not letting that impact the two things I am most passionate about - fitness and food.
You are amazing, Anna. And I am amazing. ❤ Let’s remind each other of that on the days where we are not kind enough to ourselves.
Alles Liebe, Janine ❤
I really hate comparing myself to others, cause then it'll literally cause to dont sleep anymore at night and more! But thanks for helping us with this Anna! We really appreciate you! Ily ❤❤
You changed so much in my life. You inspired me and now i grow. I am healthier and happier. And this is thanks to you 💚
You are not like other fitness creators on social media, you show yourself open and vulnerable. This is so wonderful...you are wonderful.
Hi Anna and everyone.. i am 41 y.o yet i love watching Anna's channel because she brings positive vibes 🥰🤗. Growing up as a teenager back then was not as hard as now with social media etc.. looking back i never feel so insecure in my body.. all we do was this fun crazy activities.. enjoying to be young you know.. but after watching Anna's channel now i realise how hard for the teenager now growing up looking at all those picture perfect body.. and make me understand my teenage daughter better too...i used to be shock when she refuse to eat because doesn't want to be fat ... i was like.. when i am her age all i care is play and eat 😂😂 what is the world has become? I am not sure but at least i can understand how she feels better and how to have a better approach for her to be healthier. Thank you Anna keep growing keep inspring love you🤗🤗🥰🥰 and to all young girls out there.. please please.. try to live healthy but always always love your body... keep be inspired and not depressed by your surrounding ❤❤❤
Anna, your body looks so strong and healthy, it is the kind of beauty that was praised in Ancient Greece. Every time I'm working out with your videos and see you perform all those exercises, I keep thinking of how great you look and the things your body is capable of, and it inspires and motivates me to become stronger myself. Stay you, trust yourself, you are doing an amazing job.
Btw, I had never been able to stay consistent with working out before I came across your videos. And yet I've been working out regularly and with joy for a year now and still going strong, I myself am amazed at how much stronger I have become. Thank you for your work and your content! I appreciate it with all my heart. ❤
This hit me soon after I turned 31. I was going crazy with counting calories, obsessively reading over nutrition labels even on foods that I was just googling and didn't even have in my kitchen. I was beating myself up over not working out enough or not running enough when I used to work aaaaaall the tiiiiiime and it was unfathomable how exhausted I felt. I just quit it all when I turned 31, even working for people. Recently turned 34 and income style is very different now, a lot more relaxing. Getting back into fitness and a healthy diet in my own time, doing it my own way. I refuse to let myself be driven crazy over feel guilty over fitness ever again 💯
thanks so much for making this. i have an eating disorder and i am always comparing myself to others. you’re totally right there are some creators that create vlogs with unrealistic goals. this is a great message and i really really appreciate your strength! Thanks Anna!
Anna, thank you so much for sharing your thoughts. Just want you to know how amazing and brave you are. It's the society which make us feel we are not good enough. And personally I am terrified how many people struggle with the same problem. I have been having issues with food and body image issues since 14, now I am 22 and I really want to change the way I see myself and my attitude towards food and exercise. My biggest struggle right now is that I had spent 2 years in anorexia and although now I am physically recovered and got my period back, mentally I still feel terrible
I like how you can compress your hard thoughts in words which are clearly understandable. Being understood must be one of the most relieving feelings ..
Wow Anna! This was so needed, not nearly enough people talk about this. I also struggle with body image issues and can very much relate to you. It’s so tough and it’s crazy how many women struggle with it. Talking about it is very important, we are all in this together, and I hope we can change the beauty standard, we are all so beautiful in our own ways ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Anna!
I saw your first video about 1-2 month ago. Your videos gave me the strength to finally start loving myself the way I am. As a beginner pilates instructor, with zero guests so far, I still feel like I'm not enough. But your honesty and realistic content helps me a lot. Honestly!!
You are so beautiful in every way!
Fun Fact: I am writing from Hungary, which is next to Austria
Lot of love❤
Thank you, Anna for being so open and vulnerable. I too have greatly struggled with body image and eating disorders both restricting food and binging food. I've always been insecure about my stomach because even at my skinniest, I still carried exta weight there. I used to want to be stick thin and underweight cause i thought that would make me beautiful then i lost control and ate crazy amounts of junk food. But its your videos that have inspired me to to be fit snd healthy. Your videos have made me stronger and improved my cardio. Please keep doing what you're doing. You're helping so many people. 💖
There are so many fitness influencers on social media with perfect body but you hit difference Anna, I think you're are the best fitness influencer ever , there is so much more than fitness in your channel, i love you, Anna, sooo much, thanks for your existence in this fitness field, you are so beautiful in and out, love you, can't wait for the next vlogs❤❤❤
We should work out not to change our body but to take care of it because it takes care of us 24/7, and we need to be grateful for it. See your body as your life-time best friend. Don't use it for your selfish superficial goals aka looks, instead give your body enough care, love, and appreciation, and it will give you even more in return.
Girl, this blew me away. I appreciate you so much, your genuineness, honesty, humility, and I think wisdom and insight. I've struggled with body image issues, mostly in my early 20s (I'm late 30s, STILL struggle, but not as hard). It's always kind of *there*. My current focus is on feeling okay. I have a pain disorder and depression and am currently dealing with grief and loss. I have incidentally lost a bit of weight because when I am having a hard time emotionally (the anxiety has been really hard), I feel nauseas and don't want to eat. My therapist (highly recommend everyone find a good therapist if they are able) reminds me that food is fuel and we NEED IT, so lately I've been forcing myself to eat (prescriptive eating, she calls is), but I feel the creeping in of having liked the decrease in weight that has occurred as a side effect of the anxiety. The struggle is real, life is SO HARD, I don't even know what I'm saying anymore... but none of you are alone and I am grateful for this space you've created. That's all to say, I support, too, stepping back if you need to regroup or reassess, or modify what this looks like for you, or if you feel the need to step away altogether. Your mental and physical health have to come first. 🫶
What me really helped when I was at my lowest was selling my old clothes and get some new... Now it's easier for me to dress like I want and this makes me feel better about my body😊
Hey Anna! I absolutely love what you do and the positive energy you shine! Maybe, not every time you feel like that, but be assured that there is no reason why you should let others make you doubt about your inner self. Every person is different and inside each of us we have our own struggles, some people may compensate those with extremes and the likes of fitness bubbles, some others just make other people feel inferior in order for themselves to feel less miserable. Maybe also set unrealistic goals to attract attention and be seen. I don't think you belong in any bubble, actually I would say you are among the very few that try to get through your true self in the online world and that is something very humble and comforting, at least for me - I know that you are real and have bad days and moods, like I do and is not afraid to show that. Keep being as amazing as you are and keep doing the great work you do on both your channels and your app, this is what I think you should be proud of - getting a team of cool people around you that share your healthy lifestyle and for whom you are a great source of inspiration! Take care!
Als ich sehr viel trainiert habe, blieb meine Periode für einige Monate aus und mein Testosteronspiegel war viel zu hoch. Ich war unbeabsichtigt lean. Keiner der Ärzte kam auf die Idee mir zu raten weniger zu trainieren (=weniger Stress) und ein paar Kilo zuzunehmen. Zum Glück hat sich das durch eine Sportverletzung mit Zwangspause von selbst gelöst.
Sad that even doctors can't recommend something obvious. Hope you're better.
Dear Anna, thank you so much for being you and sharing your thoughts with us. You are an inspiration and I admire how honest, real, strong, and kind you are. A motivation to go and clean my feed. :)
Anna, from someone who has struggled with EDs, body image issues, exercise addiction & everything in between, you are such a necessary & authentic ray of positive light in what can be the edited, artificial and toxic world of the online fitness community. Please never stop sharing this message of acceptance and love. It is so important, now more than ever, to have people like you in this space promoting a non restrictive, accessible & body positive approach to fitness and wellness. You are helping so many more people than you’ll ever know. Thank you so much❤️
I'm twice your age and just love your videos. You are really on to something and I'm so happy for you and for all of your viewers. xo.
Anna your such an inspiration to others regardless of their size or age. You have wonderful content,such truth and positivity to it. Such an inspiration to me. And so many of us feel the way you feel with the things you spoke of in this video. I think with us women we have all felt out of place in our bodies at one point in our life and want better bodies and health. we have a tendency to compare ourselves to other women because of our struggles with our bodies and health, But we are all different and our bodies need different things one diet and workout plan may work with one woman but may be unhealthy for another. But we can still support each other and look to each other for some inspiration. Keep up the inspiration 💕
I am shocked you feel in this way because I admire you so much. You are hands down my favorite fitness creator. The energy and value you bring, as well as your openness about your fitness journey is what made me fall in love with you and your content. The way your videos are so thoughtfully planned out and it feels like I am working out with my friend when I play your videos in my living room. I hope you can work through the comparison and realize the unique value you have provided to the community for many years. Thank you for being an instigator of change ❤
Anna, deine what I eat in a days fand ich trotzdem immer toll, weil du eine der wenige Influencer bist, die nicht underfueling betreiben! Wenn du dich damit nicht mehr wohlfühlst, verstehe ich das, aber if it helps: ich fand diese Videos von dir eher ermutigend mir noch die Joghurt Snacky Snack Bowl vor dem Schlafen gehen zu gönnen 🫶🏻
I don’t think you realize how much I needed this
I recently found your workouts and really liked them, I usually find it hard to find a fitness influencer I like but there's something about your content that I love, somehow it got rid of this horrible guilt I would feel when I was too tired to do a workout that day, or if I ate some chocolate when i was trying to cut out all bad foods. The stress in my mind made everything worse and I went deeper into that hole of shame and regret and guilt.
Your positivity and realness in your videos on this channel and in your shorts made me start accepting that it's ok to not be perfect all the time and just that alone has driven me so much more because I react to things with a positive outlook and not a negative one. You gave me that ability and it's changed the way I see my progress and it makes me feel like I can actually reach my long term goals. SO thank you, Just wanted to remind you that what you're putting out there is already having such an impact in the best way!
Anna, I just want to tell you how much your videos have helped me. I’ve been on your app since October of 2022. Im 30 and had my two kids young, and I’ve always felt like I never looked like the other women my age as I had a baby pouch from carrying two kids. You’ve not only helped me feel so strong, you’ve also helped me realize the happiness in fitness. I don’t workout anymore to look like other women my age. But with your help I was able to change my focus to be stronger for my two kids who are now 11 and 13. One of which is an 11 year old daughter. I praise her so much and give her so much affirmation as i know what it’s like to be a woman and a girl with body issues. Thank YOU for helping me feel this way with all of your videos and your app for helping me GROW 🥰🥰🥰💪🏼
Thank you Anna for each word of this video and your real intention for a better world and get periods back!!!
Thank you for your honesty, transparency, and vulnerability. You’re so real. I love seeing people with a platform and they still have integrity. We love you!!
Thank you for sharing your struggles. I have been struggling with body issues my entire life. I have always been a big girl and have experienced being bullied by others too because of my weight. 4 years ago, I decided to take control of my life and started to eat healthy and work out. That's when i came across your channel. tbh, your workouts are a bit challenging to me at first but as i continue with my journey, it started to get a bit easy. I gained strength, endurance and stamina. now, i still take an extra few seconds of breaks in between but i make sure I don't just finish a video but to finish strong. Sometimes, i think it would be nice to have a toned, fit body but, what you said in this video is right - we are born this way because it serves a purpose; it helps us to be strong. And I love what you said too - that we should work out not to have a six-pack abs or toned muscles, but to feel good and improve our quality of life. I'm so grateful for the content you put out. It really changed my perspective from being obsessed to be thin - to being happy with my body. Keep up the good work, Ana! We appreciate all that you do. Much love! ❤
Lately I have been feeling exactly like this, I have felt that comparison on social media has been consuming me, seeing perfect lives all the time makes you feel bad about yours, when the reality is that almost all of us struggle with comparison and our own problems. that they don't show, I decided to give myself a break from consuming networks, for my mental health, networks are a double-edged sword and you have to use them consciously, thank you for being honest and real about your thoughts and feelings, that's what that really makes you special and one of my favorite creators❤
You are my role model. I rejoice when I hear your words that give me strength
Hi Anna!! I think it’s something that needs to be talked about way more in the fitness bubble. I don’t usually comment but just wanted to say the the content people put out make a huge impact on their audience. I’ve been struggling so much with my body image since age 11 and seeing so many people with unrealistic and unsustainable bodies didn’t help. I thought something was inherently wrong with me. I yo-yo dieted for many years and i lost my period as well. my body image has just gotten worse and worse to the point i decided to delete most social media only youtube because i found to the least toxic. It’s been an almost 2 months and i feel so much better. I’m now approaching fitness in a much more healthy way now and all thanks to creators like you, so thank you for talking about this. I’ve only found your channel a few weeks ago but you are one of the only fitness creators who post content that’s enjoyable and doesn’t leave me like i’m not doing enough at the end of the day.
Lovely friend Anna 😢 thank you soooo much...i had to cry and it made me so sad and angry, but because of i feel so much the same...
I worked 7 years in a gym and everybody touched my abs and beurteilte meinen Körper (mit der damals unbekannten Diagnose Lipödem etc. 😢
You inspiring me so much every day and i hope i can meet you some time somewhere, i am from Bavaria but living in switzerland
Love you Anna, thank you for everthing ❤
hope to see you one day and give you a big hug ❤️ just a reminder that you are ENOUGH and beautiful the way you are 😌
Anna! You are the best , seriously. It’s been 2 years already that I’ve been working out with your videos. I’m a former weight lifter and a fitness bikini, I quit professional sports a long time ago because it messed with my mental health a lot - and I still struggle. We all do, I’m sure. Also, ive never been happy with the way my body looks - there’s always something I find that is not perfect enough and „I need to work more, harder, better and then I’m sure I’ll be happy“ but of course it’s a delusion. However, my point is that for me there’s NO better youtuber than you are - your training is well thought through, it displays and teaches perfect technique without harming oneself because you have fundamental knowledge, you know exactly why and in what order you put every single exercise. I can continue and talk about your coolness for hours :) but please know that you are amazing. Always do what feels right of course, but just know that you are doing an immaculate job! Best content, best image, best lighting, best reels, outfits are always pretty etc😂
lots of love!
Your videos really help
When I saw your video for the first time, I was motivated to get out of my room and move. This change made me change from a depressed person who was only in her room to a happy and healthy person❤
Keep growingn anna we love you so much ,your workouts are amazing sometimes they are challenging and sometimes simple i love that because every day is not same some times be feel stonger or sometime weak.
And its not about how we look its about our strength, heath and to feel good😊and absolutely to feel confident 😊
❤❤❤
This is such a great chat, Thank you so much for this honesty! Thanks to you i really wann to achieve that Kind of healthy life. To change the purpose of working out. But it is very Hard . I am a mom of a 2 year old, lost about 15 kg the Last year, working Part time and everything. And i am still feeling so lost sometimes, hating myself and my body. But you are so inspiring, that i believe i can really change that unhealthy oppinion on me… Let‘s keep growing ❤together, in every way
While I absolutely love you, and am deeply inspired by you, I also am constantly comparing myself to you while I work out to your videos! 😸
To me, you look absolutely perfect, even in those moments when you need to rest during certain exercises! I'm in awe at how perfect you seem to do every move and exercise, and I feel like a total klutz at times!
Every time I see a post or video about you saying you feel less than perfect at times, it is so mind boggling to me because to me, you do everything so well, with such beauty and grace, Anna!
It's all so "craycray" because while there is no such thing as perfect, at the very same time, everything and every part of everyone is perfect in that very moment for the sake of what is needed for that person in that moment if you know what I mean! 💗✨
So excited, I enjoyed your premiere so much last time! ❤ Thanks for joining us ❤
❤️❤️❤️
I’m a perfectionist and I have a eating disorder(not that serious at least yet hope it never gets there tbh) , I love this and thank you Anna. You are perfect you motivate and help so many people. Love you❤
Anna, I hope you are reading this. Thank you. Just thank you for being REAL and talking about the truth. We need more people like you, if all fitness influencers heard your words, maybe we could just change this fitness bubble into a more positive and realistic one. I really really appreciate you already showing struggle or bad sides of things, because that does the opposite to me of feeling bad about myself.
We are all aiming for bodies and beauty standards none of us will ever achieve. Thus I sometimes wonder why we even do so, because it tears all of us down. It causes so many people to struggle with things and takes so much joy out of their lives, even though our lives are so short.
And maybe that is the one thing all of us have to be reminded of.
LIFE.IS.TO.SHORT to overthink whether you are going to eat a certain thing now or to eat food out of the WRONG REASON, which is my struggle.
So please Anna, KEEP IT UP AND SPREAD THIS VITALLY IMPORTANT MESSAGE.
THANK YOU SO SO MUCH FOR BEING RAW AND REAL❤❤❤
I almost cried watching your video, cuz I have met you in a difficult part of my life and see your health content made me feel so good, I don´t want to compare myself with you and that makes me happy because you don´t made me feel like this. For me a health body is where a health and happy soul lives and it doesn´t have to be shapped or "perfect", but functional, doing the thinks it have to do like having periods (for women) and making you go to the bathroom without any struggle. That´s it, a little bit long but that´s just what I tought. I love you too ❤
Hi Anna ♥️
Ich finde das ist ein sehr wichtiges Thema!
Ich liebe deine Vlogs in Workouts 🤩
Bleibe so wie du bist 🫶🏼
❤❤❤
This video hit me so hard! But in the best way 💜 thank you so so much for sharing 🍀🌹
hi anna
i love your workouts and all of the videos you post. you have really gotten me into working out and fitness, and you are honest about your journey and your body image. thank you so much. you have changed how i look at myself.
This video just shows you are a great fitness creator and influencer 💕💕 Let me tell you I feel like it has been an ongoing battle with me wanting to have a more flat tummy… and I feel like lately I’ve been struggling some days with seeing my body as beautiful, but this just shows I need to stop comparing myself and instead tell myself my body is already beautiful, even during this whole fitness journey it will still be💕 I love you Anna and your motivation! This video was needed 🥺💓
We are so lucky to have you Anna! I have been able to avoid so many issues in the way I view my body, and the way I view food thanks to your content. Love you! :)
Instagram is a serious poison for everyone
I can't agree more
You make others feel like anything is possible and yet you put everything in perspective. I truly love this channel and what you put out in the universe! Thank you!
Hi anna i 😘 loved that video you inspire me so much and I can't wait to see more of your content remember to keep growing 💗 and we are always growing with you.🥰❤️
WE KEEP GROWING, no matter what ❤
Yes we do because our body moves for us everyday and we love it for that
So thank you I love you so much and you are the best.❤️❤️❤️
Oh and Anna almost forgot happy Easter 🐰 hope you have an amazing day.
what a great start to my day... you are the perfect example of a positive inspiration! Anna I look up to you, and I think you are doing amazing, please be so so proud of yourself. you're changing so many lives for the better and that's what I hope I can do as well. its a beautiful feeling! sending hugs
Looking social media into the bad way I struggle so much every single day and when I'm buying food I'm looking into the carbs protein and more and what I should be eating what I should be not eating and struggling and restricting myself so much plus comparing myself so I want to be healthy again and happy for how I look not how other looking but how I am looking and feeling the best
I think we all compare ourselves to others, whatever is different, myself included. We have to stop and remind ourselves to be grateful. There are some people who can't walk, run, etc. We need to just be healthier in what we put into our bodies, minds and keep moving to be healthy as we age. Feed yourself positive things to read, watch, listen to, and eat. Lift each other up ro feed your soul. Gods blessing and love to all. ❤
J’ai essayé de te comprendre le plus possible, car je ne suis pas bilingue. J’ai 54 ans. Depuis que je suis des fitgirls, je me sens mieux, car je sais mieux comment faire les bons choix. C’est à nous de vous regarder de façon équilibrée. Et toi, continue d’être authentique. Il y a des hauts et des bas dans la vie. C’est normal. Je t’aime beaucoup. J’ai confiance en toi. (J’espère que tu penseras à utiliser le traducteur pour lire mon message. )
Anna you are litterally so sweet!! Your videos litterally make me cry 🥹🥹🥹 you are such an inspiration to me and others!! Keep growing girl!!
Can we say that you're the best human fitness content creator because you're aware of the reality and share it without filters (and you have organs) ?
Anna, have you heard of ‘BodyFit by Amy’? I only do work outs from you and her. You two are the most positive, feel-good fitness channels on YT. California is calling you back for a collab or maybe you can get her on your podcast to talk about this exact topic. God bless! 💕
Anna, Even if I know that no one is perfect, for me, YOU are the definition of PERFECT!! Thank you for this amazing video ❤
thank you, we all are perfect ❤️ perfect in our own way 🥹❤️
I needed to watch this video so much, thank you for making me and I suppose that lots of people feel happier about their bodies ❤️
Thank you so much for sharing Anna💗 I really look up to you and really related to this! You are so beautiful and I’m so inspired that your goal is healthy and happy. I have found a genuine love for working out because of you. We all struggle sometimes; I’m just trying to remind myself that there is no perfect and we’re all just trying our best. An unhealthy obsession is never worth it.
Thank you for your thoughts, Anna. I'm sorry you've felt bad about your body and that you've felt inadequacy at being a fitness content creator. I think we all feel this way at some point in our lives, and whether or not it may be normal, I believe we have to do our best to remember that we are unique and that just by waking up and breathing, we are amazing beings. Our bodies are truly a miracle we don't fully understand yet. It's only recently that I've had the courage to tell myself "I love you" and to tell my body that I love it. I don't always succeed at embodying that love, but I believe everyone should say to themselves "I love you" once in a while to remember that we are a physical manifestation of pure love. And how could we ever hate love? Much love to you and everyone here in the comments section (specially if you're having one of those dark days: hang in there, I send you a big, warm hug just so you know you're not alone) 🥰.
Danke liebe Anna für dieses Video. Es ist so schön das es auch noch Leute gibt die wirklich ehrlich sind. Man kann immer so viel von dir lernen ❤️🥰.
Love you ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I hate sport, since its always about comparing and everybody is fitter than me. I cant relate to sporty people. I watched your shorts and you were so lovely i tried beginner videos. I feel safe with your videos, thank you for being so humble. ❤
thank you so much for writing this, means a lot ❤️ we have to stop comparing ourselves, cause that’s when we stop having fun and enjoying things like sports. we all are doing our best and that is what matters
this is why i love you
Thank you Anna, this is so interesting and touching, someone who is finally talking about the truth, and I see a ray of hope with you ! You motivate me to focus more about my health and how I feel , instead of the way I look. You’re so inspiring, please keep it up ! You are definitely on the right path, and I want to follow it with you!
Thank you so much for this, Anna😊 Such an important topic! Much love ❤❤❤❤❤
❤️❤️❤️
Anna, erfinde neue Massstäbe. Wenn die Bubble nicht mehr zu dir passt, dann steh umso mehr für deine Werte ein und kreiere etwas ganz neues. Passe dich nicht an, investiere dein ''ich'' und inspiriere uns alle, wir selbst zu sein!
100 % 👏🏼❤️
I’ve always compared myself because people around me growing up did not look like me and yeah I still feel insecure even though I get compliments whenever I go out or go to work.
Perfectiobn is very individual. Each person should decide what their "perfect" looks like and work towards that in a realistic way.
This was reassuring, because now I’m in my “I hate myself “ stage
I love Anna’s videos! ❤
❤❤
Hey, Anna❤ I just want you to know that I don't like HIIT/Tabata workouts, but I begun to watch your channel and followed your Instagram account because of your energy! I think that you are amazing and you bring inspiration and light to the world. I have done many fitness workouts before with another youtube channel and I loved it before - but eather I was much fitter before I wasn't happier.... I have done to myself injuries in my lower back three times after I did some workouts in 2020 and I realized that I must stop doing them every single day! Now four years later I am doing gentle feminine yoga every morning, slow running from time to time, walking, playing tennis and working out not much as three times a week but only when my body and soul need. I would really enjoy if you make some videos for working out according our cycle. I think that especially women should be working out exclusively according to their cycle of the month and always listen to their needs. Maybe it would be interesting for you the The bare female channel - if you want check it up. Thank you, Anna for your work, don't give up from the fitness bubble but changes it - you could be the one who leads the changes for good❤
When I feel bad about my body I pray for me It’s a safe place where I can say how I feel and not be judged and God always gives me peace and if you ask Him, He will give you peace in your situation NO matter what you just have to trust Him.❤❤❤
yes❤❤❤
So schön gesagt Anna❤ es ist wirklich so… wie die Fitnessbubble sich entwickelt hat, hat häufig leider nicht mehr viel mit dem wahren Wohlbefinden und Gesundheit zu tun 😩 für mich haben diese zwei Dinge jedoch oberste Priorität✨
YES ANNA! We need to hear more of this from people like you! ❤
I have struggled with my body image my whole life. My mother used to pick apart my body and criticize it... and ive never even been slightly overweight. My adult life has consisted of setting weight goals and never being satisfied even when i reach them. I went through a phase for a few years where i was so incredibly strict with my diet and exercise i missed out on other areas of life and ill never get that time back. Having kids put things in perspective and made me realize that so much of my old routine was not sustainable or realistic. Its also important to remember that someone like Pamela Reif who insists on parading around every social media platform and all over UA-cam mostly naked that she is paid to look that way and her existence can revolve around it. She s not birthed or had to care for any children and she has a professional team around her. Of course as a working Mom i cant expect to look like her. Im finding the balance but its hard. I still have urges to restrict food and over exercise but im getting better
Anna, I just wanted to say, as somebody who is following you for a long time that I think you are the most inspirational and honest content creator I have watched videos from! You make me feel good about my body after so many years of struggling to love it, and make me realize that our imperfections are beautiful, and have the power of strength! I’m so so thankful for you and to be a part of team Grow❤❤❤Keep going girl, cause you are the best fitness influencer✅🫶🏻🫶🏻
I started loving my body so much more when I followed influencers like Bree Lenehan and Milly G Fit. They really opened my eyes so much. I also completely stopped counting calories burnt/ate and stopped worrying about what I eat.
But yes I totally agree, the fitness industry really needs to change! It should be about what it really is - health, wellbeing and happiness.
