10 FITNESS MISTAKES I Wish I Knew!! Mistakes on My Fitness Journey & What I've Learned

[@denikagaudet8614]

I really appreciate seeing a fitness influencer have such a healthy relationship with food and just a generally positive and non toxic attitude! Super refreshing and way more sustainable! ❤️

[@talayalovett8688]

I relate most to the treat/cheat meal stuff. Being overly restrictive is not realistic but I struggle with balance and discipline.

[@BrittanyLupton]

yes it’s totally unrealistic to have dramatic “diet changes” balance & discipline can be learned through gradual practice. be patient with yourself, & you can do it 🤗

[@marissabitton4203]

I REALLY like this camera set up and background! Looks so good and I feel like I’m in the room with you as you’re talking!

[@BrittanyLupton]

aw thank you marissa! i’m so happy to hear that i like the new setup too!!

[@averysandoval541]

i've been scared to work out bc of a history w eds, and i just want to thank you for being a safe space for me! having someone not encouraging me to restrict or diet and genuinely focusing on movement is huge for me. i went to the gym by myself for the first time yesterday and it was great!

[@the_gibsterr]

This makes me so happy to hear, I’m so proud of you! :)

[@jdhearn21]

Man the camera looks amazing. So proud of you!!!

[@daisymay4063]

YESS I LOVE THIS ENERGY QUEEN

[@cheesercakes]

You are uncomplicating gym/healthy life for me so much. I just finished my first month at the gym and I am slowly losing my fear of weight lifting in the machines. I usually feel super inadequate next to people who know what they’re doing. As I watch your videos, I keep learning new routines and copy them at the gym. It helps SO much. Thank you a million times for taking the time to do this.

[@BrittanyLupton]

which mistake do you relate to the most? and what is one mistake you have made?

[@jackiepassarelli313]

I had such a big fear of eating a few years ago and watching fitness influencers like you grow and educate your followers about the need for food and the negatives of restrictive diets has helped me so much! I actually look and feel better now that I prioritize my eating!! (And your banana oatmeal pancake recipe is my go to for preworkout fuel👌🏻)

[@laughinggas0910]

Excellent advice! I love how you emphasize on enjoying the process. I used to be the kind of person who thought if I could reach my “goal” whether it be weight or body fat %, then my work was done and I didn’t have to work at it anymore. It’s a lifelong commitment, but it’s so worth every step! On my non-gym days I like to bike or walk the dogs with the kids.

[@shanellef9849]

“Making up scenarios in your head” yeah I felt that 😂

[@BrittanyLupton]

Literally me though 😂

[@lyssaboo1513]

Just wanted to say a quick thank you! Your videos have inspired me to see fitness as a lifelong journey instead of a 'quick fix' or a 'phase', and that perspective has helped me change the way I approach food and health!! God bless!

[@emilymeyers6069]

You are the first fitness youtuber that actually seems like you do this stuff like some KZbinrs have a morning routine or workout routine and make it look all cool when they don’t do it at all and yours just seems so genuine

[@kayleehopkins8341]

I love your videos so much and this particular style was so informative!

[@marandahscott1712]

Loved this video!! I definitely need to work on getting more protein in my body. I really love your day in the life or week videos when you show the food you eat and even the yummy snacks you make!! Food has definitely set me back on my fitness journey but I am slowly but surely conquering it!! Love you Britt!

[@chrmng1]

Thanks for sharing. I don't do enough weights and always cardio. I just don't know what to do and why. There's so many different moves which ones are the best ones lol

[@asilverman0558]

Would love to see your warm up routine!

[@BrittanyLupton]

It’s on my list to film!! 🤗

[@shelbygluesing8645]

Just came across you and I’m so happy I did! Thank you for being real 💕

[@tubarao672]

Thank you so much for this video!! It’s so helpful and encouraging! I’ve been nervous about going to the gym, but you’re right - I need to stop thinking about what others think! Thank you!!🙌

[@emilytaddei7653]

Love this video!!! I always struggle to get in enough protein, but you're right once you prioritize protein intake you really notice a big difference! Also I get stuck in the routine of just lifting and maybe doing some cardio afterwards but I definitely agree that I should incorporate more crosstraining - sometimes it's just hard to break that routine and try something new but it will be beneficial to overall health 😊

[@daydin3535]

could you talk more about nutrition for gaining muscle? struggle is real

[@shannonbarnhart2533]

#2 definitely can relate. Just trying to get through it not caring a lot about form was my mistake! Your videos are great! Love you so much girrrl❤️❤️❤️

[@limaamaal]

Oh yes, same!! the difference it has made for me making sure I have the right form! Compound is a thing but if your form is no bueno then the results won’t be noticeable!

[@BrittanyLupton]

@@limaamaal yes exactly!!!

[@BrittanyLupton]

Yesss! I can tell such a huge difference between the workouts I’m being intentional in and the ones I’m not! 👏🏽

[@BrittanyLupton]

& loveeeee uuuu!

[@briannconn]

I love this so much. I’m a mama of 6. Never prioritized my fitness. I was skinny fat. No muscle tone I’m petite. But I wasn’t strong. Mentally or physically, I just take it day by day but with the long term goal of a healthy life this year my word is healthy. And do far I have worked out 5 days a week following Caroline G epic endgame( needed something to learn different moves) I love your Chanel- just found it. You are very inspiring and I’ll be working here to be better at fueling my body for my workouts. I have struggled with that. Thanks again for your videos!

[@avab7118]

I love how encouraging these tips are :)) thank you for posting such positive posts on you instagram!

[@lizcox1609]

I needed this video in more ways than I could count. Bless you and thank you for this

[@limaamaal]

YAS!!🙌🏼🙌🏼These vids are always so helpful in so many ways! I’ve had my fare and share of having made mistakes at the beginning of my fitness journey and honestly mistakes are part of growing , and growing exponentially! Definitely a good reminder over time! ☺️ It is okay to make mistakes but make sure to reflect back on it and learn from it. ✨Great video and good time to share! Keep at it🤍🤍💋

[@BrittanyLupton]

Yes! I couldn’t agree more! 🤍

[@jenniferbannan1150]

I absolutely love you and everything that you stand for yes ❤ I've just got into my fitness journey and you are seriously my favorite inspiration 💛

[@BrittanyLupton]

thank you Jennifer! this is so sweet 😭💗 and I’m so excited you’re joining us!

[@CurlyGirlChey]

You totally inspired me to run a mile tomorrow instead of always lifting weights.....and I used to hate 😫 running in high school when I was forced. But maybe if I'm not forced I might actually like it. Plus I'm starting to get bored with my routine. Also your nails 🥰

[@kaynenbrown5102]

Agreed! Great video. 🙌🏽

[@reyasilver2691]

Your videos are so well thought out and give great advice! Keep staying Awesome

[@casandraschultz7589]

Loved this video! Hello from MN! My biggest mistake I made for years is restricting myself and feeling like a let down when I didn't have a "perfect lift" or "perfect day". Still takes some concentration to keep from slipping back into that mind set.

[@VazhiiSingleton]

I just LOVE your personality girl!! I’m a new subscriber & I’ve been binge-watching the hell out of your content 😂😅💕

[@sabrinammoore]

I love your videos so much! You’re helping me learn because I don’t have any fitness friends. I most definitely need to intake more protein and do more of a variety of workouts. I’d love to see how you get more protein in! Thanks for sharing this

[@angelasilva4232]

best notification of the day ✨👏🏻🤍

[@omgitsshalini]

Thanks for making this a genuinely informative and relatable video. It’s so relatable I love this

[@obeytweety]

I love and look up to her so much

[@ANCROP1]

Love your videos!! Could you make a video on your dynamic and static stretching routine?❤️

[@susanverhagen5742]

Loving your vlogs 🥰

[@OfficeMobility]

Number one mistake I made was every session had to be all out otherwise I thought there wasn’t a point, obviously kept burning out and regressing. Now that I periodize I’m so much stronger and more athletic and way less injuries and burn out.

[@reigner8755]

So true on that cross training. As someone who loves running, I just recently started to lift weights. And I love it. I need to gain strength to make sure I have a good over all health. I cringe when I see people do nothing but weights and nothing else. Like hello, you need to work cardio too. Overall health should be the goal.

[@sydneyshelton]

SO HELPFUL

[@pamelapollard2678]

You are seriously underrated

[@HeyGal4041]

So spot on! 🙌

[@melinda_giagia9857]

Love this!! 🙌🏼❤️

[@bora5253]

I loved this! 🥰

[@beccacharles958]

Hey Britt! I’d love to see a video of tips/recipes to increase your protein! I’m struggling with this and feel like how the heck else can I do this beyond just drinking protein shakes with every meal😵‍💫

[@Ash.Nicole]

Here are some high protein foods: Any meat (chicken, hamburger, pork tenderloin, etc) Add bacon/sausage/ham/turkey to breakfast Greek yogurt (the vanilla light & fit one is very good and 14g protein for 170g and 90cals) Eggs Protein bars (I love the brand zoneperfect) Protein pasta/chickpeas/lentils

[@michelles2500]

Saaammme! 🙋🏼‍♀️🙋🏼‍♀️

[@heathermaddy1885]

Something I do is try and swap out my sweets and junk food for healthier options when I can. Of course I still allow myself ice cream, but a lot of the time I will opt for a smoothie instead because it is still a yummy treat to me, but its a bit healthier. Another thing ive been hooked on recently are almonds. O.M.G. theres these skinless garlic herb and olive oil ones and they are to die for.

[@BrittanyLupton]

I absolutely LOVE that you’re finding what works for you!!! That’s exactly what this is all about. And those almonds sound so good! Where do you get them? :)

[@heathermaddy1885]

@@BrittanyLupton Blue Diamond makes them and you can find them at any typical grocery store but Costco has them too and they’re almost identical so I opt for those instead !

[@ursisterbelen6018]

I just really like the feeling Of working out

[@tanishasahnii]

you're looking so pretty!!

[@lindadavid4403]

Could you maybe do a video on your training and your goals. Like Hanna oberg did recently. I think that’s soo interesting. What ppl do to reach their goals?

[@sydneyfrazier260]

my mistake is only training with abs. i really want that model hourglass figure and i haven’t been able to find any workouts for my legs, back, and butt that fit that. any tips on helping me?

[@ninamiller6775]

I would love to meet new people at the gym but I don’t know how

[@asmaa_vlog_85]

When I get a notification that you have uploaded a video, my happy time begins 📸❣️🍊♥️🥳😘🥰🤩❤️. .

[@Brylie591]

On the thumbnail I have the problem of then how do I fix that?

[@1019jen]

Yes!!!

[@ICEMAN24824]

Does wearing weighted vest can built muscle as well

[@rosekerren197]

I was wondering. How long should you take between sets in exercises?

[@luciusgraham1646]

They stay mistakes! Until we learn from them!!

[@diandramcgee3279]

You had me up until “actually start talking to other people”. My anxiety says 🥴

[@lauras453]

I have a big problem with my volume diet. For example I’m looking for growth my glutes and legs but when I start to eat more (clean of course) my tummy starts to look so big with a lot of fat and that make me feel scared, my progress is limited by that. Please tell me what I have to do 😭😪

[@bribudgets7147]

I’m trying so hard to find a good vegan protein powder because I NEED one but all the ones I’ve tried are disgusting. I’m allergic to all of the pre workouts I’ve tried so far too 😐

[@victoriacabrera9259]

Hey I saw your comment, and I remembered a Vegan protein powder I found and I thought it might help if you didn't already try this one. It's called BEAM Vegan Protein Powder and comes in multiple flavors like cinnamon cereal, birthday cake, chocolate brownie, peanut butter smoothie, and blueberry muffin. If you haven't already tried it, you should check it out. I hope it helps. 😁

[@alissavasquez3489]

Can walking a mile be the same cardio as running? Maybe walking longer distance but can it still help with endurance?

[@halieransom]

It depends what you mean by "same cardio." Do you mean gets your heart rate up the same, burns the same amount of calories, increases endurance etc. Mixing walking and running intervals is a great technique for building endurance.

[@juliadecoste2967]

I love everything about you

[@rachelsmithkey9191]

Hi! You mentioned you've been to 3-4 different gyms, how did you cancel the others? I always heard it is difficult to cancel a memebership!

[@shannondavis1401]

am I the only one who doesn't talk to ppl at the gym?? LOL

[@BrittanyLupton]

honestly I don’t either but my husband is a chatter so I usually get pulled into conversations. 😂

[@matildalundstedt4919]

Hi Brittany! I love watching your videos and i started going to the gym for a not very long time ago. Although i don't think my parents allow protein powder etc in the household, i really do want to build muscle. Is it still possible to see good results w/o bought protein addition?

[@kengineer12]

Hey! I know I’m not Brittany, but I would like for you to think for a second what protein powder is. It is an additive form of protein. There are many foods naturally high in protein such as tuna, eggs, beans, meats, etc. you can easily eat these to get more protein! The only thing I would suggest to do protein powder is to add it in meals not as naturally high in protein, but even putting a spoon of green yogurt on your plate will help!

[@danegardner7025]

Hey how are you doing and you look nice and stunning too and i am your biggest fan too and i like your new video too and it was my birthday today too 👍🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂

[@bribudgets7147]

This video made me subscribe lol

[@ICEMAN24824]

Can people with fast metabolism can still built muscle

[@kiyabland5587]

yes! i gained 20lbs of muscle by eating a bunch while consistently working out

[@LiveLikeLex]

To anyone who's reading this: You are strong. You are beautiful. You are powerful. Remind yourself that working out is not a punishment for what you ate, but a celebration of what your body can do! I hope you have a fantastic day :))

[@wesleylewis7063]

Hi Brittany how are you? Always enjoy your videos, learn so much. Brittany you are one very cute lady. Wes xx

“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.” ‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3:9‬ ‭NIV‬ ROMANS 10:9-11 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame” Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭19:10‬ ‭ God wants us to believe in His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, who died for our sins :D When we truly believe in our hearts that Jesus is the Son of God, who died for our sins so we could have eternal life with God, we are saved from the eternal fire and have eternal life in Christ Jesus!! 💖 May God bless you all! 💗😊
