Things you shouldn’t be embarrassed about at the gym

[drinkmorewater]

what I feel embarrassed about is the sweat that's left behind when I stand up after a seated exercise 😭

This is a wonderful message… I have always believed ‘How you do it, How much you do it’ doesn’t matter at all. The only thing that matters and is most important is that YOU DO IT and do it CONSISTENTLY. ❤

Just getting your ass in the gym is a win. We should all be in there working out

[LeeMuayThai]

great reminder for us ladies to not be embarrassed to try new things, it shows we are working on ourselves. stay strong ladies 💪❤

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

[Jahsurfer]

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.

Also, on period days you will most likely not be able to lift your regular weight and may have to use lower weight.

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.

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.

A lil shame is good. Bring shame back. We should not wear whatever we want. We should consider others

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❤

Yass girl I was killing it with the 10lb dumbbells yesterday, idgaf IT WAS ENOUGH WEIGHT FOR ME

It’s also very okay to ask for help if you’re not too sure how to use some machines 😅

[Inspireothers]

At least we got off the couch and came, We rock ladies 💪

[Medcursor]

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.

Wow thank you I needed this as a new gym user
The struggle is real

[elineke]

I asked someone to help me with an exercise today. She actually really helped me. Really proud of myself

[smurph]
