STARTING YOUR FITNESS JOURNEY
I remember what it felt like when I started; the anxiety, the nerves, not knowing what to do or where to start and never setting foot in the weights section! It’s been a journey! And I can’t wait to help anyone that’s just starting out! ❤️

So glad I came across this video. I’m fairly new to the gym and have been trying to find exercises that I can do to gain some muscle. Thanks so much I want to be consistent and try this
Just wanted to say, as an autistic person it’s really helpful to have super detailed step by step instructions. Like the locker room step by step felt so reassuring to me. Thanks for putting this out there
as someone who struggles with anxiety and depression, thank you so much for covering this! ive been going to the gym for years and I STILL get anxiety every time I walk in

muscle to mind connection is something i really struggle with bc i workout to cope with whatever i’m going through from that week. plus my mind runs a mile a second so today i’m going to practice muscle to mind!
Since my legs started shaking every time I squat, I was only able to complete the workout till 13:49. I'll have to try again another day because it aches so severely. As a beginner, I'm still unsure of the type of exercise I should do or anything about my diet, but one thing I did know was that this would be a long and difficult journey given my unhealthy weight for my age. This was a rollercoaster of feelings, but I'm glad I tried since I know it's better for my health, and I definitely won't give up just yet because I want my dream body.

This is so helpful! Found you a few weeks ago and it was just meant to be. Starting a healthier lifestyle and really want to commit to working on myself and was looking for direction and your channel is so helpful.
This is the best video I have seen today. Thank you
I thoroughly enjoyed this video for its depth, and the aesthetic, and the truth in everything. I have been on and off for a very long time, but I think I have settled on what I will be working on whether upper or lower body, its the discipline I have to find again, and a schedule that I can stick with. Your video has definitely motivated me. so thank you for the upload.
I'm so shocked that a girl like you would have gym anxiety. I would've assumed that this was your place. You have no idea how much you are helping girls like me. 💖

Thank you so so much for this video , I’ve been wanting to go to the gym for so long and just never knew where to start. This gave me an idea of where to begin!!!
Thank you for this video. I just started going to the gym and trying to tone my body but wasn’t too sure what type of exercises to do. This helped a lot. Had already been doing some of these exercises but will add in the other ones as well.
When I can't cause time or something's come up 95% I will drop n do a few minute workout right where I stand! And again before bed! Before I miss a day I wasn't trying to miss lol I been at the hospital with my mom 48hours n already workout 3times here! Just because I'm not home or at gym don't mean I can't get it in anywhere anytime! A while back i would workout through work when things r going slow and a lil bit on lunch! Cause it's always on my mind! Loved this video ✨💋🤌🏾🔥😤👑👑👑

Greetings!👋🏾Great video. While I don’t have issues w/ depression or anxiety, I do deal with laterally torn meniscus in both knees from military service. This makes jump jacks, squats, etc not a feasible option-at least not right now. I say “not right now” ‘cuz I’ve been intentional about ‘mending’ them and getting them stronger and more supportive, as best I can with independent research, a keen mindset and doing certain exercises AND dry skin brushing! I need to feel supported!😂 Anyway, I mention all that to say, please consider creating a video for those of us with knee or lower back issues, please. Thank you lovely.🥰
I kept refreshing KZread every time waiting on you to post😭 yesssss!

how frequently are you supposed to up the intensity?? do you do more reps every few weeks or add heavier weights or both? Kind of Confued on that part. I love your vidoes by the way ❤
Here I was told that zoning out others in the gym was a bad idea because you can't hear how loud your slamming things. That is disturbs everyone's work out and was bad gym etiquette... I am new but that made sense to me.

Everybody is different. I’m 5 ft so with my short stubby legs and unhealthiness atm 4.0 is a regular jog while speed 5.0 is a run almost a sprint. I put it on 3.5 and incline a little and I’m forced to lightly jog already at that point so 4.0 or 5.0 is halfway sprinting for me.
loved it ! I subscribed to your channel. Thanks for your tips.
