Does anyone else find watching workout videos to be extremely satisfying??

[Mackenzie Smith @smithhmackenzie]

Lifting weights empowers you.

It’s psychologically rewarding to:

- reach goals
- lift heavy things
- push past your own limits
- get that sense of accomplishment

It not only changes your body, but your mind as well.

[Miranda Cohen @mirandacohenfit]

as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give others the permission to do the same

If you’re trying to grow your glutes and your program doesn’t include...

Hip thrusts

Deadlifts

Squats

Then your “glute-building” program might be a scam 😳

[Gymshark @Gymshark]

no one:

me: “hey wanna go to the gym?”

[MaryClaire @mc_fit_]

The number one thing I wish I realized when starting my fitness journey:

There is no direct correlation between the number on the scale and how “fit” you are

The lighter version of you does not always equal the healthiest🙅🏼‍♀️

[MaryClaire @mc_fit_]

How it started vs. how it’s going🤪

[MaryClaire @mc_fit_]

Reasons why people “fail” at their diet👇🏼

It’s not sustainable❌

Caloric intake already too low❌

Been in a diet phase for too long❌

[MaryClaire @mc_fit_]

the only thing I miss about home workouts is being able to have a dance party in between sets 💃🏼

guess I could still do that at the gym if I wanted to🤷🏼‍♀️

[MaryClaire @mc_fit_]

@m3r1ss4 Hahaha I feel ya girl, I write out my workouts beforehand so I know exactly what I’m going to do when I get there!! It really helps so I don’t feel like I’m wandering around lol

[MaryClaire @mc_fit_]

today at the gym, this dude followed me around, stared at me almost the entire time, and only did about 2 sets of exercises the entire time he was there.

STOP MAKING WOMEN FEEL UNCOMFORTABLE AT THE GYM!!

esp since I’m almost always the only female in the weights section🙄

[MaryClaire @mc_fit_]

@HoooliaJulia SAME I never know what to do when it happens but it makes me uncomfortable AF 😩
