J.R. You gotta watch this Jennifer Aguirre and her 😮 leggings, don't text her that I say so 🤫😅

[@AndrewDavis-sj6mb]

I saw the New movie, Illumination produced😯😪😡

[@brittanyjones6501]

Hi Julia, I know I'm just a blip in the many awesome women who are inspired by you but you are truly awesome. I work out in a dry cabin with my husband and watch you daily as inspo! Me and my son and hubby went from being homeless and helpless to living off-grid and grinding everyday to make ourselves our very best we can be. I am so happy to have found your channel 3 years ago and have been inspired by you since. Keeping being authentic and buff girl strong ❤

[@juliarene]

you're not just a blip to me love you're amazing and I'm so proud of you!

[@juliarene]

that is beautiful!! and thank you so much for being here😭

[@brittanyjones6501]

@@juliarene Thank you so much for this 💜 😭

[@sammijo8601]

Girl!! I get shin splints too UNTIL my boyfriend actually taught me how to run. You don’t run heel-toe, you go ball of your foot first. I’m not kidding you, I run a mile every day now without ANY shin pain. It took a bit to get used to but now that I know how to run I hate it much less. I hope this helps! You look awesome and love love watching your journey 🧡

[@juliarene]

whatttttt noway!

[@sixxbillion]

Keep pushing thru Julia!!! POWERFUL AF!!

[@juliarene]

thank you so much love!

[@authentic_andrea44]

Thanks for being unhinged for us🥴🫨 You in all your power and silliness is such an inspiration to myself and so many other ladies 😍🎉 You can do iiieeet👑😎😊

[@juliarene]

hehehehe thank you!!

[@nataliamurillo6127]

Go to a new balance store they scan your feet and pick the perfect running shoes for you. I used to get shin splints as well not after going to new balance

[@juliarene]

noway that is so cool!

[@lauraholder5364]

I’ve been struggling so much with the snooze button lately, this message was much needed. Thank you beautiful!

[@elenamarquez4725]

Julia, you are getting so close! I can just see you on stage of Miss Olympia this year! I am just a 38yo corporate girlie who is working out to be the best version of me but I love your content. You inspire so many of us!❤❤❤ you got it girl!

[@juliarene]

awe thank you so much love!!

[@4Peaches1]

You are so motivating and to think about how I cry over 45 minutes of cardio 😂😂. You look amazing!! 😊❤

[@juliarene]

hahahhaha you got this I'm proud of you!

[@h34rt5k]

girl it may be time to invest in your own stair master!! the return you would get on it would be insane since you use it 6 days a week 😂

[@JohnJacobSchmidtt]

I read somewhere that or if not have heard that someone combated shin splints by turning their toes slightly in when they ran, they also have sleeves that go on your legs for shin splints

[@juliarene]

ohh wow thanks for the tip!

[@vladcraioveanu233]

Very determined lady, I like that... Know what she wants, going for it. 💯% . Power to you, wherever you want to be, whatever you want to do! 🏆

[@juliarene]

thank you so much!

[@destinycarey2222]

Love love love this! Thank you for passing the time while I did my 40 minutes on the stair master.

[@clopez247]

I used to suffer from shin splints when i was younger and sometimes from time to time ill get them again. Ive learned that sitting on ur legs on a mat helps stretch those muscles to help prevent them. The more u lean back the more intense the stretch is. You look amazing btw. Ypu absolutely rock!

[@MarieW_w4724]

The face washing towards the end of the video was great therapy for me today . You made me laugh so much , especially when you left the towl on your face and said, "oh gosh, this feels good " Hahahahaha 😂!!!!

[@AudreyGT]

I’m feeling you on the ability to put muscle on easy. I cut slow though unfortunately so high cardio for me too.

[@juliarene]

yes I feel you!

[@AudreyGT]

@@juliarene aww… as my coach says … “we can embrace the suck together”

[@bohemianarcana]

You're Glutes and Legs have evolved magnificently since your Road to Pro Series!!! Girl is on FIRE!!! xoxo

[@juliarene]

thank you!!!

[@heatherdufour6727]

😂😂😂 loved the humor in this one!!

[@Xavierism]

Julia! I’m soooo proud of you. I need motivation to get back on track with training and love how you do what you have to do that there’s no negotiating with yourself. Bammmm!!! Love it. I always learn something from you. Thanks so much for all you do. Wishing you all the best! Cheers****

[@juliarene]

Thank you so much!!

[@lisamarie8907]

Omg your DOGS are ADORABLE you are a Great Dog Owner Julia!!!!!!!!!!!!!! God Bless you!

[@annapence3589]

I absolutely love your videos. Your humor reminds me of my best friends and I laugh so much when watching your videos. ❤ Prep seems to be taking a toll but you’re a champ and you’ll push through! You are more powerful than you think love! 💕

[@juliarene]

Thank you so much!!🫶🏻

[@Lubachabsky]

I’m genuinely curious why you are running … doesn’t running flatten your glutes? Or are you trying to downsize your quads? Maybe try running outside if your shin splints continue… treadmills will only make it worst

[@casy6203]

I’d say use an elliptical

[@Justjulie286]

Amazing video Julia! looking INCREDIBLE 🥺💕💕💕💕💕💪 have you tried making oatmeal pancakes??? They are amazing! All you need is a blender or food processor and blend up: 2 eggs,1.5cup of oats, 0.5 cup of oatmilk or any milk, 1/2tsp of cinnamon, 1/2tsp of salt, 1/2tsp baking powder ! And a splash of any sweetener ! That’s it! I top it off with mashing up blueberries and a Splenda with water to make a jam to top it off and oh my goodness it taste amazing!

[@Ignacioforever69]

🌴🌺 I love all your blogs and I’ve been meaning to comment. I usually watch them while I’m in the gym and then you have so many good moments. I want to comment on and then I forget what it was. Thank you for taking us through your journey, I will be at that point in about, nine weeks. Another “why” moment to finish this prep strong and win is because Ive invested in products, spray tan, makeup day of the show and most important time. Meal prep time, gym time, will power to stay on track!!! Girl I’m saying all this because I know you get it. People around me don’t understand what I’m doing but that I’m eating the same thing everyday. So thank you!!❤❤❤

[@juliarene]

😭 thank you so much love!!!

[@dakotameyer3135]

Julia you are looking INSANEEEE!! Love watching your journey!

[@navamuller7843]

You are so inspiring!!

[@stefanietaylor4989]

I also just bought that concealer and I ❤ it

[@juliarene]

SAMEEEEEE

[@juliarene]

yay!! so good right?!

[@corinamartinez5227]

The pre-gym car moment had me rolling! Same. Same. Same.

[@canyonproductions7683]

I need a hug now❤

[@ashwee1015]

I had to fix the way I ran to quit getting shin splints. I used to run landing on my heels and now I run mid foot with no pain.

[@robinhensley2558]

You look phenomenal girl!!! So inspiring!! I run so I was gonna tell you to always get a full size bigger when you run it makes all the difference in the world! I had to go to a podiatrist because my toes were always messed up and they told me that and it cured it! ASICS are my favorite for running too ❤

[@juliarene]

omg thank you!

[@juliaesperanzasanchez]

Lmfaooo this video was so realll!!! You can tell prep is hitting 🤣❤️‍🔥💖 Love you! Keep it uppp🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

[@pgelenius]

I do not miss all that cardio. I had the same amount when I competed. Your delts are POPPING 🎉

[@Thegreenmachine.K]

Omg the physique update is givingggg ✨

[@zippiedoo3583]

The tissue on face pause 😂😂We love unhinged Julia!! Looking fabulous girl.

[@emarishasamuels4955]

This woman is waaaaay too awesome! Just love her so much☺️

[@juliarene]

awe shucks!

[@youngajummah]

You're so inspiring! ❤

[@KaylaDickey]

Oh my god, the sign on the wall: "Respectfully, rack your f*cking weights 😀" LOL! I wish every gym had that sign.

[@commununityconsultant6029]

For the shin splints - sit down after your run - ice them.. in track we would take an ice cube and run it up and down til it melted on each leg …. Every run. Then make sure your stretching really good in the beginning and even more in the end…

[@fernardfowler2600]

IAM PROUD OF YOU KEEP GOING MAY THE GRACE OF GOD BE UPON YOU MAY YOU AND YOUR FAMILY PROSPER IN ALL THINGS 😊

[@juliarene]

Thank you so much!!

[@carriengugi3405]

Asics are really nice shoes. I wear the Asics gel contend 8. I think the reason why Asics are so comfy is because they use amplifoam to cushion the inside, especially around the arch of the foot.

[@janedoe1981]

Your dedication is inspiring.

[@juliarene]

thank you!!

[@ZeBiii]

I'm not in any means a prof bodybuilder (just love to workout & lift for health & aesthetica haah) but still love your videos about it. Living vicariously through this 🤣 But also you give me weekly motivation aka being a good example of someone with discipline for me to work harder on me 💪

[@juliarene]

awe love that! so happy to have you here!

[@mctgdb]

Your physique looks amazing! I wish you the best

[@thrivefnl]

You are becoming more and more adorable as I watch you. I was a competitive bodybuilder in late 80’s/early 90’s Such a valuable experience and foundation for EVERYthing else in life “Discipline is Freedom” as Jocko says YOU are so special and awesome Thanks for sharing all this with the world Exceptional work… -the different content you share -the editing is so fun -you are real … and share the ups and down in such a cute and inspiring way -your body is AMAZING! It is challenging to be someone who builds easy but gets lean with more effort. I would t change it. WOW!! So fun to see that INCREDIBLE shape emerge. (Just a thought have you looked into Latex sensitivity and other food sensitivity? Once I understood that concept, my body didn’t seem like such a mystery and so frustrating) -plus a myriad of other reasons why you and your channel will continue to grow and prosper Sending Blessings of Abundance in all 💗💪

[@juliarene]

thank you!!

[@amyc4406]

You were sO funny in this video❗️When you put the head band (and wrist band) on in your bathroom😂.

[@keyfromthecity]

I love the treadmill and am not the biggest fan of the Stairmaster. In regards to your shin splints, you may want to change your foot strike. Try striking at the ball of the feet instead of the heel.

[@LibertyGoddess1776]

Shin spilts suck!! Your face in getting snatched and your body is definitely getting leaner you look great and all that hard work is paying off!!

[@MyPlantMuscle-l9r]

Omg, the SpongeBob admission sent me 😂😂😂😂 lol

LMAO at 30:08 you sounded like Sophie Kachinsky from 2 broke girls. Btw I love You, Sophie and 2 broke girls so this is in no way an insult.

Hi Julia hope you see this comment a few days ago after a home workout with weights during the day before work, I experienced a muscle spasm like never before on my lower back and left leg very crippling, this was during the night, its been 3 days im still with pain but still exercising. Do you have any recommendations on things I can do to avoid this happening as much as possible? Thank you, sending lots of love.

[@OTFOGZ33]

Keep it up girl sexy AF ❤❤

So sexxxxyyy when you flexed your shoulders/abs 💪💪🙏🥵

[@vladcraioveanu233]

😂 The quest for aestethics is suicidal 😅 Strongman/woman, maybe Crossfit or calisthenics with an accent for muscle mass, seems nice for whom has the wealth for it but "cutting" seems to extreme for me.

[@stefanmentor8450]

Glutes need some growth

[@tdtd6728]

why workout in makeup that not good for the ski surely

[@user-ii9cs3zr6u]

doesnt even feed the poor dogs anything good for dinner and you "didnt have time" to dump a scoop of shitty dog food in their bowls on time? jesus christ
