For me the hardest thing is not the start but to keep on with it, cause I set myself unrealistically high goals and get so depressed when failing

[RuthHanshilNaggawa]

I definitely think you should make a fitness/motivation guide cause your perspective is realistic and relatable. And you know what you’re doing 👏🏾

[rachel_r]

as a teen who’s very insecure, this is genuinely the video I needed to watch, its very different. I’m used to the extremes of depressing ‘gym fails’ vs ultra positive workout videos/trained athletes/hardcore gym rats dunking on anyone doing even slightly less than them

What you said abt nutrition and changing your mindset srsly made me realize that being fit/exercising regularly is genuinely achievable while sometimes indulging, having a job, etc

Thank you ❤

[jackiebotello]

I agree. I'm a mom of 3 and have a full-time job. I used to work out 5days/a week. I didn't make a lot of gains due to not being able to get enough rest to allow my body to recover. I was lifting heavy but didn't see it in the mirror. I felt tired or weak a lot of the time and ended up hurting myself. It set me back 3 months and it brought me down to a depressed state of mind. I'm back into working out now and I only do it 3 times a week. I've seen faster results that way! I got back into a good routine that works for me and doesn't interfere w my family time. 🙂

[chapterswithchrissy]

the way that you literally recognize people have lives outside of working out and you are speaking to us, letting us know it’s okay, just made me so emotional! you’re the best fitness influencer i’ve ever watched and i’m so glad i found you. the way you give yourself grace and compassion makes me give it to myself too 🥺

[whooiszaza]

As someone who’s tired of looking gross and feeling gross this was really encouraging💕! please create that guide we girlies need it !!

[sewplainjane]

I'm 52, and just starting my fitness journey. I've had my family, looked after them, then hit menopause. I have completely lost myself, I'm doing this for me. Thank you for the motivation and inspiration. Xx

[ashleyy.sandoval]

I’m usually a silent subscriber, but I have to be honest.. I really enjoy your videos. You’re so real about your fitness journey, the good and bad. I love that about you. You motivate me to go to the gym. I was super consistent last year then birthday/seasonal depression got the best of me plus I decided to get myself back into college this year so I’ve been struggling trying to fit the gym in my schedule because I’m so exhausted. Thanks for this advice. I’ll be sure to implement <3

[estherose]

I am a young teen girl and I’m totally overweight, not obese yet but very close at 5’6” and about 190lbs. Almost 2 months ago I started going to group fitness class 3 times a week and I never would have thought I would fall in love with exercise so much lol 😅 I’m excited to see myself get stronger and maybe even skintier as I continue to work out. I’m really looking forward to the future!

[justsh_]

I honestly really needed this, I’m a long term start and stopper and I really want to be more consistent. I’ve taken a lot of notes from this video 📝

[Celstialstave]

This is the first fitness video I've watched in a long time that truly felt human. Thank you for acknowledging wanting dessert, and that people jobs and children and school to also focus on beyond working out.
This video truly was motivational, thank you for creating this and taking away some of the intimidation that comes with making these kinds of lifestyle changes.

[emmashell]

As someone who started my fitness journey a year ago, I feel like I’m extremely weight motivated because it is a quantitative way to track my progress. Also you’re the first influencer I’ve seen that has acknowledged that not everyone can commit hours to the gym and I really appreciate that!

[its.maya.h]

Girl you already know i’d love if you started a workout guide 😭💕 thank you for the motivating video!! I’ve been on my fitness journey for 3 years now, and I’m definitely having one of those days where i’m really doubting myself because I feel like I’m not getting the (physical) results I want, so this definitely reminded me what was truly important (how i feel and my health, not how I look). Thank you for your hard work as always girlie !! 💕

[renee]

Thank you for putting out videos consistently. You have not only helped me in my fitness journey but watching your videos literally gave me a boost of energy through my most challenging semesters in uni! Yes please, I'd love it if you put out a workout guide! TIA!

[geo.-.]

Ive been in a depressive slump for so long now, and so I havent had the energy to work out for months now. Ive begun to feel better and have decided that I want to get back into it, so thank you for this video :)

[dianeramus]

I'm so happy I found you! I have been watching all these fitness videos and they just didn't seem to work for me. But you are so down to earth and genuine that we can relate to you more. I really appreciate you! and PLEASE make a workout guide!

[lenalifts]

if you see this IM SO PROUD OF YOU for deciding to start your fitness journey 🤍💪 YOU GOT THIS and i believe in you!!

I'm 42 and only joined a gym 6 months ago. I love your vlogs and I would love a guide even though we definitely don't have the same body type (I have a 20+ year head start on life 😂) you just make me feel sooo positive 😍😍😍

[nokwandakubone]

Omg thank you sm, this really motivated me so much. My birthday is in a few days so I wanna start a new chapter and document my whole fitness journey starting from then. This motivated me so much. And for those who are reading, I'm proud of you all, I'm proud of us for stopping by this video. Lena can do it, I can do it, you can do it, we all can do it❤
