Things you shouldn’t be embarrassed about at the gym

[@drinkmorewater5341]

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

[@bellaapple2166]

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.

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

[@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.

[@noemitellez3098]

THIS ! I wish it was as easy to gain muscle as most people think it is .

[@cherbear6847]

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.

[@stevenmichaelmarlowe]

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

[@noemitellez3098]

@@stevenmichaelmarlowe 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 !

[@Frank_Reynolds__.]

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.

[@roberthuman8091]

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.

[@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.

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

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 🎉

[@dicksmashermicrocock7984]

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.

[@dicksmashermicrocock7984]

When you start going to the gym you very quickly notice that people are not judgmental at all. I have only had positive interactions with people at the gym, if there has been an interaction to begin with. People are so busy doing their own thing and they don’t wanna be bothered so they won’t bother you either. Most people who go to the gym do so for a reason, to self improve and for a lot of people the gym is a safe space where you can let go of all anxiety. I’m a woman and I have had a few men come up to me and be genuine in their complements, not flirtatious at all. Something I think many women are a bit scared of. Being stared at by men at the gym, but honestly that really hasn’t happened to me. It has happened once or twice, but it has been outside the gym and not in the actual gym. One guy came up to me when I was at the squat rack and said “Sorry to bother you, but can I take this plate? My squat rack didn’t have this one” I said “Yeah ofc” and then he said “You are very strong and have great form, keep up the good work!” And then he went back to his rack. It really made my day.

Wear cotton underwear and sweatpants. You dont have to wear only leggings looking like a pornstar.

[@Bsiobloom]

@@ryanleblanc6817 I actually prefer wearing sweatpants. However, where I live the climate doesn't always agree with me wearing sweatpants. If you think leggings make a woman look like a pornstar, you have a lot of work to do on yourself, a woman should be able to exist her body without being sexualised especially when her body is existing in a medium that is not inherently sexual- gym.

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 ❤

[@elettramia6380]

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.
