@0st It just depends on what you’re doing right now and how it’s effecting your diet. Are you hitting the gym daily and doing lots of cardio? The extra energy expenditure will trigger a need for more calories & consumption. Then your weight may not move much. Or are you hitting the gym daily...

@joanie59 If you can afford a few sessions with a personal trainer that could really help you gain confidence in a gym. Trainers are so great at teaching form and how to use machines. As well as reps/sets and how to split up your workout.

@mmdia82 Flexibility & stamina are easy to ace for you because these are women’s strengths!!!! Go to the gym & put a man through the same stretching or mobility routine & he’ll struggle and fumble vs the woman. Same with stamina. You can have an hour long cardio group fitness class & women will...

@1stbrownhorse If they’re pacing and hovering, it’s because they’re simply impatient and want their turn quickly. Do not project that insecurity of “they think I’m not of equal worth because I don’t lift as heavy as them” If they thought that, it may have been said. Don’t perpetuate that idea...

@intermediary Have you watched the video? It’s actually really great.

@jrsinct I was in your position!!! In high school I signed up for weight training. There were probably 30 guys and 4 girls. I wasn’t friends with the girls. I was also scrawny, 5’4, 105lbs. It helped that my coaches were really great and supportive. I ended up learning so much about lifting in...

@wedemars Preferences change. Especially now that you’re older 125lbs may feel more mature or grown up compared to your physique at 110-115lbs.

@kingshellie I’m a female trainer and I do touch my clients a lot to give them feedback and correct form. It really can just be so much quicker, and more integrative than explaining & demonstrating. I work with a male trainer and he touches me a lot. I don’t feel uncomfortable with it because...
