The Girlie's Guide to Conquering Your Fears & Getting in the Gym

Are you a girl? Cool. Want to go to the gym but feel intimidated or overwhelmed, specifically by doing things that are often male-dominated and difficult (i.e. strength training)? You found the right episode - today, I'm breaking down the barriers that keep women out of the gym and giving some tangible tips to help you find your confidence and get in there! I used to be really scared to go to the gym and would stay on the treadmill ONLY. Weights? No. Machines? No. Anything other than hiding behind a 50-year-old treadmill that barely works and feels like misery? No. And honestly, the fears I had around trying anything new at the gym were real - and I know many other women share them. In this episode, I talk through some of these fears: namely, the fear of not knowing what you're doing, being judged, and... men. One day I finally let my desire to challenge myself surpass my discomfort and went to the weight room in my college gym. From there, it was history. Taking up more space in the gym by lifting weights has transformed my mental and physical health in ways that make all the discomfort and fears worth it. I hope that this episode inspries you to go for it, too. If you enjoyed, don't forget to rate/review/follow/subscribe/do whatever you want to support ... THANK YOU!
