Why is it ok to body shame guys with leg day memes but you are all super supportive of one another body differences? The amount of women I seen criticise and belittle men with skinny legs when it’s largely down to genetics is really upsetting
@@cocacolaowo318 . Anything is better then nothing right. What works for you is all good. I used to try and do home workouts. Never really got much out of it cause it was too much distraction.

@@Realfighter92 Ok well I think you're also only looking at one side of the media. From my perspective I've seen a majority of fitness vids about positivity and how its ok to have less excercised legs. Theres def two sides to either gender tbh.
fr 😭😭 I had a gym trainer once and he would NOT leave me alone. he was acting like a goofy goober but in a psychopath crazy way. increasing the speed while I'm on a treadmill and then laughs it off like 😐. "let me show you how to use this haha u can squat here" on the verge of killing him
Absolutely! The gym is a judgment-free zone, and everyone is there to focus on their own journey. We all start somewhere, and it's about progress, not perfection.
Great advice Chiara, please also keep reminding the ladies that working out with heavy weights will NOT make them big and muscular. This is a persistent myth that holds back and prevents women from attaining their true potential.
I love lifting heavy, I always push myself to a new PR in any exercise (not always, but like once a month). However, depending on how my body is responding that day, I'd use lighter weights and just do more reps etc.
I DO believe that progressive overload is very important and DOES build muscle very effectively….however no one reaches “heavy” when they first start out….and if you stay with a specific program, everyone reaches a physical limit and must mix it up. Myself, I am still starting out and not ashamed at all where I am…instead very proud that I make it to the gym and do MY own personal best. I am not competing with anyone else but myself
@@DelveSideways you’re very right ! It’s super important for beginners to focus on form first before even adding weight at all ! You’ve got the right mindset to not be ashamed of where youre at . Even just having started is one step ahead of most !
Sorry Mark but you are wrong. Heavy weight for low reps OR light weight at high reps will both make you muscular. That's just how the body works. As far as getting big, you'll need to eat more for that to happen. Taylor a plan to your fitness goals, but let's not pretend if a lady comes in and curls to failure she's not going to get muscular.
Very true, I was frustrated that I couldn’t hip thrust heavier amount the other day. But I redirected myself to an exercise that I could do and still had a successful gym session.
on the first few days of my period i get superhuman strength compared to my usual levels bc of the testosterone spike! however if the cramps are too bad i tend not to hit legs very heavy in those days and sometimes opt for a long yoga sesh instead
It was when I dropped my ego and started using light weights that I really started to grow. You can easily control that light weight, you can really focus on contracting the muscle and build a really good mind/muscle connection.
@@donniebloxez8091 omg don't be it's not worth breaking your arm, my buddy was always super skinny so he started bench pressing with just 10 on each side and now that he's doing 25 on each he looks so different! It's all about what your body can handle ☺️
I let embarrassment keep me out of the gym for way too long. Now I work out 5 to 6 days a week and I regret missing out all that time. Nobody is looking and judging you. I promise. We are all there to get healthy and fit, and support one another in our journey. Just do it❤
Omg this is so healing :( recently I failed at trying the assisted pull-up equipment because my arms were too weak to carry my whole body weight, even with the highest support. I was so embarassed I felt like crying hahaha
Don't need to even look into this, if he said that exercise can't do that, it can't. I bet you believe you can pay your phone bill with hopes and dreams too, don't you.
When I get annoyed about these types of things I do like failing at a heavy weight or making a mistake - I go to the treadmill to clear my head and plan my next move. It just looks like a warm up or part of your routine!
Building confidence to wear what i want, i have lots of gym clothes that complement my body but i feel so insecure wearing them coz im afraid others will judge me and i feel bad about myself, but your video helped me and i will do what makes me the most happy and never dim my light for others!
I say wear what you want but also prepare for some looks. People are saying that she is lacking modesty but for a gym fit I see nothing wrong. To get a good workout its good to feel some level of confidence as well as comfort
I'm just gonna put this out there too....butts sweat too, I used to get embarrassed by the sometimes little bit of sweat left on the seat of whatever machine it was i was sitting on just go grab a paper towel and the cleaning spray and clean it up toss the paper towel and move on to the next, I've never had anyone laugh at me or do an odd look at the machine or up at me then back the machine again. Sweat is normal from EVERYWHERE on your body
Why is it ok to body shame guys with leg day memes but you are all super supportive of one another body differences? The amount of women I seen criticise and belittle men with skinny legs when it’s largely down to genetics is really upsetting
She is absolutely correct the most important thing about going to the gym is that you went you made the effort that's the only thing that really counts in life at all so you make the effort
Me everyday everyday is a day to feel cute and work hard . There is a 60 year old bully woman at the gym who sneers at me and taking pictures in the mirror I’m very aware and her energy is a big no No . I’m not gonna let anyone stop me from shining I almost died so people don’t know that, it’s why I’m so fit and live every day like it could be my last thanking god ❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
For me its the fact that I am excessivly sweaty, I left a whole fully fledged outline on the seated exercise you would think someone painted the human figure on there putting in the most realistic artistic skill they could muster
I’ve been working out consistently and have noticed a HUGE difference in my thighs… but I still have cellulite :( I wear shorts only sometimes but I can’t help but to be self conscious. Anyways this video is a reminder I shouldn’t give into my thoughts ❤
The majority of women of all sizes and all weight categories have cellulite. It’s literally how our bodies are made. Notice how men no matter what shape and size they are don’t have cellulite? It’s because they weren’t designed to have it. Just like they weren’t designed to birth children and breast feed etc. no matter how tone I get my legs and how strong my legs are they will always have cellulite ever since I hit puberty I’ve had cellulite. I saw a girl at the store once and you could tell she worked out her legs looked very strong and she still had cellulite a lot like mine. And I thought omg, her legs look beautiful. That helped me as well. As long as your legs are toned in my opinion cellulite doesn’t look bad.
Same here I am self-conscious about my cellulite...I still dont feel confident on shorts after year's of working out and always go for darker leggings😢
Just remember we all go to the gym for the same thing to either get fit or stay fit so don’t be embarrassed just remember all those fit people around have been in ur shoes one time ❤
Don't approach anyone at the gym if possible. If you need help, ask the gym staff. Everyone is focused on themselves. Which also means if you do mess up, nobody will notice.
Idk about how other people see this, but when I fail during sets I’m proud of actually training to failure. Because that’s what a good session is. So if you see me collapse on my knees during my dumbbell walking lunges, you best bet I’m feeling pretty badass 🎉
I see many people “fail” at the gym, it is completely normal and anybody who is serious about training will have it happen to them constantly. It is a normal part of working out and it happens to everyone. Nobody will look at someone in the gym and go “Oohh that person failed what a weak ass pussy”😅 it is a part of training and improving strength and anybody who is serious about training knows this. The only time anybody is going to say anything is if you end up hurting yourself and in that case people are very eager to help you out and maybe they might urge you to be a bit more careful next time.
All this is okay only if you're not fat. If you're fat, you're free estate for side eyes and not-so-subtle smirks. Atleast that's what personal experience has taught me.
Thing is, too many people go to the gym for too many reasons, other than working out, if you know what I mean. A dedicated workout should be your sole motivation. Consistency is the key.
dor me its how bad i look after i sweat and ive been so scared to do squats because i can barely do the bar itself and since im a younger teen i get embarrassed
I’m always so worried if I’m doing an exercise right. I feel like I overthink the movement way too much.. I pay more attention to what it’s looking like than what it’s feeling like. 🙄 Beginner at weights
A few times I've made the decision to stop my workout and go home because I was embarrassed of how much I was dripping sweat everywhere I went to in the gym even when there were disinfectants and towels.
Just know that if you're wiping down the equipment afterwards nobody is thinking about it. For most of us the only person we're thinking about at the gym is ourselves.
Why is it ok to body shame guys with leg day memes but you are all super supportive of one another body differences? The amount of women I seen criticise and belittle men with skinny legs when it’s largely down to genetics is really upsetting
What about having anxiety because people are looking at you? That's why I don't go to gym anymore, but I'm planning on going back, but can you tell me how to overcome my anxiety?
Understand that you cannot control anyone's thoughts. If they want to stare, who cares! You are going there to become a healthier you and get strong 💪 -Coming from an anxious person
Im 38 and have just learned the benefits of light weight. I'm sure I look funnier than anybody using them too since I'm 6'6 and 300 lbs but I've actually grown and my joints don't hurt as much
The benefits of light weight for muscle gain and joint health are well documented. Keep up the good work, and I don’t know if you follow a trainer, I can recommend Athlean-X. I have been following him for six years. Excellent advice. Good luck on your training.
what I feel embarrassed about is the sweat that's left behind when I stand up after a seated exercise 😭
Yeah it's normal I always clean any equipment before and after I use it. Sometimes people rush to use it and I let them know I'm going to clean first.
Don't be pls! Is just a sign of you working hard 💪💥
I just commented about this too. It's normal. Sweat comes from everywhere
That's why I use a towel :)
Yes me too

Sach bolo...aap bhi hilate ho na?
She definitely grows long black hairs in her butt
Just getting your ass in the gym is a win. We should all be in there working out
Or just workout from home man, ive seen significant muscle growth and its easier to just do whtever tf u want from home but maybes its just me

I always feel embarrassed when it’s my first time trying a new exercise and I fail or do it wrong and I’m scared some guy will come to help me omg
It's better to gain knowledge abt form, posture when doing or using a machine for exercise or changes are you're gonna injure for life

@@Realfighter92
Ok well I think you're also only looking at one side of the media. From my perspective I've seen a majority of fitness vids about positivity and how its ok to have less excercised legs. Theres def two sides to either gender tbh.
fr 😭😭 I had a gym trainer once and he would NOT leave me alone. he was acting like a goofy goober but in a psychopath crazy way. increasing the speed while I'm on a treadmill and then laughs it off like 😐. "let me show you how to use this haha u can squat here" on the verge of killing him

I asked someone to help me with an exercise today. She actually really helped me. Really proud of myself
Also, on period days you will most likely not be able to lift your regular weight and may have to use lower weight.
on the first few days of my period i get superhuman strength compared to my usual levels bc of the testosterone spike! however if the cramps are too bad i tend not to hit legs very heavy in those days and sometimes opt for a long yoga sesh instead
Also blood everywhere
My workout when I'm on my period is staying at home and surviving
It was when I dropped my ego and started using light weights that I really started to grow. You can easily control that light weight, you can really focus on contracting the muscle and build a really good mind/muscle connection.
I got this advice today in the gym and it’s SOLID ❤ I said the exact same thing about dropping my ego
Balance and consistency does it. Great job!
Yass girl I was killing it with the 10lb dumbbells yesterday, idgaf IT WAS ENOUGH WEIGHT FOR ME
Girl sameeee 😩😂
❤ if it’s enough for you, it counts.
Today was my first day at the gym and I was so embarrassed for using 20’s when my sis was using 45’s😭

Wow thank you I needed this as a new gym user
The struggle is real
It’s also very okay to ask for help if you’re not too sure how to use some machines 😅
This was actually super encouraging 💛✨🙌🏼 I'm grateful for the message
okay a big one: sweat! Getting it on machines/ benches.. I’m always afraid to get up and see the marks but who cares as long as you wipe it down!!!
Keep pushing and slaying those workouts 💪
Good points, I love watching another person who also helps peoples' health and fitness, but also, not to be embarrassed!
I let embarrassment keep me out of the gym for way too long. Now I work out 5 to 6 days a week and I regret missing out all that time. Nobody is looking and judging you. I promise. We are all there to get healthy and fit, and support one another in our journey. Just do it❤
Thank you babe! ❤ needed this!!
Omg that color combo on her is so cute!
I have more anxiety about the actual comments people have made about me when they think I’m not listening.
At least we got off the couch and came, We rock ladies 💪
I just love your videos! ❤

I showed my friend your 7 yr transformation and he was like exercise cant do that. And i was like oh yes, yes it can. Just your consistency

You guys ever farted while stretching? 😭😭 I only ever cool down at home now.

You got this. Just take things slow, and it’s okay to google things while you’re at the gym. Tbh most people are focusing on themselves anyway.
Simply put, you shouldn't feel embarrassed at a gym. At the end of the day you're there and thats all that matters.
