[0:00] so I used to be the most inconsistent
[0:02] person ever like I literally could not
[0:04] stick to a workout routine to save my
[0:05] life and every single New Year that
[0:07] would roll around I would always make
[0:08] the same goal and it was to start
[0:09] working out and I'd stick to it for a
[0:11] few days maybe a few weeks and then one
[0:13] day I would just Skip and then that one
[0:14] day would turn into the rest of the year
[0:16] coming from someone that used to be the
[0:17] most inconsistent person ever I'm going
[0:19] to teach you exactly how to stay
[0:21] consistent and get into your gym girl
[0:22] routine
[0:25] so first things first your fitness
[0:27] journey is not a short-lived era it's a
[0:29] lifestyle I know this sounds so corny
[0:31] but it's true I think the main reason
[0:33] why me and probably a lot of other
[0:35] people have trouble sticking to working
[0:36] out is because we want short term
[0:38] sometimes kind of unimportant goals such
[0:41] as you know I want to lose 15 pounds I
[0:43] want a big butt I want a snatched waist
[0:45] Etc and you know what I know we all do
[0:47] it okay we always compare ourselves to
[0:48] other people I used to scroll through
[0:50] Instagram and see girls with the most
[0:51] insane bodies and immediately I jumped
[0:53] to my mirror and start doing like 100
[0:55] squats I'm guilty okay I've done it
[0:57] before oftentimes your mentality and
[0:59] your motivation behind these goals is
[1:01] because you're expecting your workout
[1:02] routine to give you a specific physical
[1:03] result but you know what happens when
[1:05] you don't see the results right away or
[1:06] you don't see the exact results that you
[1:08] want you're probably gonna fall off and
[1:09] never step foot in the gym again and yes
[1:12] seeing the results that you want is very
[1:13] nice and it can be part of your
[1:15] motivation for wanting to start to work
[1:16] out but it's not sustainable or strong
[1:18] enough to be your Standalone goal for
[1:20] starting to work out which leads me to
[1:21] my next point which is find out your why
[1:24] why do you want to work out why is it
[1:25] important to you to start being
[1:27] consistent with your fitness journey I'm
[1:28] going to tell you guys the answer okay
[1:29] it's for your physical health your
[1:31] mental health your quality of life and
[1:33] your confidence your ultimate why of
[1:34] working out should be bigger than just
[1:36] the physical it should be for you your
[1:38] health and wanting to feel genuinely
[1:39] good about yourself so now it's
[1:41] important that you make your fitness
[1:42] journey a priority if you start seeing
[1:44] working out as a priority and not just
[1:46] like an annoying tour you have to do
[1:47] you're probably gonna start making less
[1:49] excuses to not go alright so dealing
[1:51] with gym anxiety listen if anyone knows
[1:53] anything about this topic it's your girl
[1:55] I have lots and lots of experience in
[1:57] this when I first started working out I
[1:58] distinctly remember numerous times I
[2:00] spent 30 minutes to an hour just waiting
[2:02] outside my gym in the car by myself just
[2:05] to muster up the courage to walk inside
[2:07] the gym that is how anxious I was
[2:09] honestly Jim anxiety played a huge part
[2:11] of why I was so inconsistent in the gym
[2:12] because whenever I felt particularly
[2:14] anxious I would just skip the gym
[2:15] altogether I'd be like nope not today
[2:17] not today rest day yesterday today and
[2:20] tomorrow like I'm not doing it like you
[2:21] know when you're feeling anxious and not
[2:23] good about yourself the last thing you
[2:24] want to do is go to the gym with a bunch
[2:27] of fit looking people and work out I'm
[2:29] sorry to tell you guys this I'm Gonna
[2:30] Keep It Real the only way to actually
[2:32] overcome gym anxiety is time you have to
[2:35] keep showing up at the gym and keep
[2:36] showing up for yourself even if you feel
[2:38] anxious and battle those feelings and
[2:39] over time you're gonna start to feel so
[2:41] comfortable in the gym you're gonna feel
[2:42] like you own the gym okay but you know
[2:44] it starts with you starting to go to the
[2:46] gym and continuing going I'm not gonna
[2:48] lie even today I still get anxious at
[2:49] times like almost four years later I
[2:51] still get gym anxiety so it is normal
[2:53] but I do have some short-term tips that
[2:55] help with gym anxiety avoid gym peak
[2:57] hours okay I'm talking about 5 P.M to 8
[3:00] p.m and everybody frolics to the gym
[3:02] during these times and it's like a zoo
[3:04] in there okay when you struggle with gym
[3:05] anxiety it really helps when you're
[3:07] avoiding these hours because you're
[3:09] avoiding people so you could you know
[3:10] work out in peace and be more focused do
[3:12] dumbbell or cardio workouts that only
[3:14] require you to use one or two machines
[3:16] like you can just do a little dumbbell
[3:18] leg workout grab your dumbbells and go
[3:20] to like the corner of the gym or you
[3:21] know how they have those exercise rooms
[3:23] at the gym take up your own little
[3:24] corner do your little workout out and
[3:26] then go home wear clothes that make you
[3:27] feel confident when I first started
[3:29] working out at the gym I was so insecure
[3:31] of my body like I legit just like hated
[3:33] looking at myself in the mirror so at
[3:35] that time what made me feel most
[3:36] comfortable was wearing an oversized
[3:38] hoodie and sometimes a hat because it
[3:40] covered most of my face and also it
[3:42] helped me be more focused during my
[3:43] workout so I'm not focused on how I look
[3:45] or if people are looking at me I'm just
[3:47] focused and zeroing in on my workout
[3:48] have your workout written down already
[3:50] before you even step foot in the gym
[3:52] when you go to the gym prepared you're
[3:53] not going to be anxious and nervous
[3:55] about what machines you have to use what
[3:57] exercise you have to do it kind of just
[3:58] relieves that pressure a little bit so
[4:00] you can write out your workouts in your
[4:01] notes app you can follow a workout video
[4:03] on YouTube not to plug myself but I
[4:04] actually have one and I'll have it
[4:05] linked in the description box and lastly
[4:07] I promise you guys it's not that serious
[4:09] okay the gym is really not that serious
[4:11] I promise you everyone at the gym is so
[4:14] focused on their workout and focused on
[4:15] Staring at themselves in the mirror that
[4:17] they are too busy to be worried about
[4:18] you or looking at you and I know
[4:20] especially as a girl it can be really
[4:21] intimidating going to the gym sometimes
[4:23] because it's typically usually I'll do
[4:25] use but like you know I spent so much
[4:28] time and energy worried about what other
[4:29] people thought about me at the gym that
[4:31] I wasn't enjoying myself I was not
[4:33] enjoying my workout but honestly I was
[4:34] kind of delulu thinking that everyone
[4:36] was thinking about me when in reality
[4:38] nobody was these strangers at the gym
[4:40] don't really care about me that much
[4:41] also at the end of the day you're at the
[4:43] gym to better yourself okay I go to the
[4:45] gym to better myself and not to please
[4:47] these people if anything I just want to
[4:49] get this workout in and go home and
[4:51] cuddle with my cat like I don't want to
[4:52] be here and just like remind yourself at
[4:54] the end of the day the gym is literally
[4:56] just a room full of people wandering
[4:58] around lifting up iron and putting it
[5:00] down and staring at themselves in the
[5:02] mirror while doing it like it's really
[5:03] not that serious the gym I promise you
[5:05] is really not that serious it's not an
[5:07] ego contest it's not a model Runway it
[5:09] is just the gym so do not worry about
[5:11] other people focus on yourself and
[5:13] getting through that workout make
[5:14] working out a routine and make it fun I
[5:16] love you guys so right now we are in my
[5:18] bathroom because I'm about to take you
[5:20] guys with me for my pre-workout routine
[5:22] and my workout routine by the way my
[5:25] work playlist will be linked Down Below
[5:26] in the description box if you want to
[5:28] jam out with me
[5:30] [Music]
[5:39] I've been obsessed with this song lately
[5:44] victory
[5:57] [Music]
[6:03] [Music]
[6:05] about my pre-workout cocktail yes it's
[6:08] in a wine glass it's just more fun this
[6:09] way this is oxyshred and mango this is
[6:11] one of my OG favorite flavors for a
[6:13] reason okay it tastes so bomb I also
[6:15] stacked it with creatine the ultimate
[6:16] combo so if you don't know about
[6:17] oxyshred it basically gives you a
[6:19] natural boost of energy so you feel more
[6:21] focused and energized during your
[6:22] workout I highly recommend the mango
[6:24] flavor or gummy snake juicy watermelon
[6:26] and Peach ring all my favorite flavors
[6:27] pre-workout is specially helps on those
[6:29] days where you just really don't feel
[6:31] motivated and you're just feeling tired
[6:32] and sluggish and you need that extra
[6:34] push and if you're more sensitive to
[6:35] caffeine they also have the non-stem
[6:37] version which is the caffeine-free one
[6:38] this is the honeydew melon flavor also
[6:40] tastes amazing so if you guys are
[6:42] interested and you want to support your
[6:43] girl you can use code lina10 ehplabs.com

[6:53] okay cheers
[6:55] all in your space is where I wanna be
[6:58] here in this room what did you do I just
[7:01] can't get enough to
[7:03] get
[7:06] [ __ ] to forget
[7:09] [Music]
[7:46] let's just finish my workout I'm so
[7:49] sweaty I'm Vlogging right now to show
[7:51] you that nobody really cares when you're
[7:52] at the gym because I literally have a
[7:54] big camera in my hand right now and I'm
[7:56] talking to myself technically nobody's
[7:57] looking at me
[7:59] that's for your gym anxiety remember
[8:01] ignore everybody at the gym do your own
[8:03] workout focus on yourself create a
[8:05] weekly realistic schedule for yourself
[8:07] so you can write down in your planner or
[8:09] your Journal I will work out x amount of
[8:11] days a week obviously depending on your
[8:12] work schedule if you're in school if
[8:14] you're a mother it has to be realistic
[8:15] to your schedule because otherwise
[8:17] you're gonna skip a lot more days than
[8:19] you should and actually if you guys are
[8:21] interested in starting to weight lift
[8:22] and go to the gym I do have a six week
[8:24] workout guide that has all exercises and
[8:26] explanations of the exercises perfect
[8:28] for beginners I'll have a link to my
[8:29] description if you guys want to check it
[8:30] out so for me I work out five times a
[8:32] week and I schedule those days out
[8:34] depending on what workout I'm doing that
[8:35] day so for example Monday leg day
[8:38] Tuesday upper body day Wednesday cardio
[8:40] and core Thursday rest day Friday glutes
[8:43] so when you schedule it out that way and
[8:44] you know exactly what you're doing on
[8:45] each day you're gonna be less likely to
[8:47] skip to shift your mentality when you
[8:49] find yourself wanting to skip your
[8:50] workout so you guys I want you to be
[8:52] genuinely honest with yourself the day
[8:54] you feel like skipping your workout ask
[8:55] yourself do I genuinely want to skip
[8:57] this workout because I need it for my
[8:59] physical and my mental health or do I
[9:01] just not feel like it the whole point of
[9:03] a fitness journey is to make you
[9:05] physically strong but also mentally
[9:06] resilient too and trust me being on a
[9:08] fitness journey it tests you mentally a
[9:11] lot if I'm being honest if every single
[9:13] time I didn't feel like working out I
[9:15] didn't work out I would probably work
[9:17] out like 5 five times a year say your
[9:19] affirmations and remind yourself you are
[9:21] strong you are that girl you can do it
[9:23] so get up and get your butt in the gym
[9:24] people say this a lot but it's true
[9:26] there's not a single workout I ever
[9:28] regretted even like a crappy workout
[9:29] where I feel like it didn't go as well
[9:31] as I wanted it to I still never regret
[9:33] it and honestly those days I feel even
[9:35] better about myself because I'm like at
[9:36] least I got to the gym I pushed myself
[9:38] to get to the gym like I'm proud of
[9:39] myself so on those days I really want
[9:41] you to battle with yourself and fight
[9:42] that hater in your head telling you that
[9:44] you're too tired and you can't do it and
[9:46] show up anyway another thing I think is
[9:48] helpful is there's this lesson that my
[9:49] brother actually taught me on
[9:50] procrastination and basically it's the
[9:52] feeling of inaction is still so much
[9:54] worse of a feeling than the annoyingness
[9:57] of getting up to go do what you have to
[9:59] do so that annoying feeling that you
[10:01] have to go through getting yourself up
[10:02] to go to the gym is still not as
[10:04] annoying as feeling bad about yourself
[10:06] feeling sluggish now this is not to say
[10:08] you can't have off days or rest days I
[10:10] take plenty of those okay today's
[10:11] actually my rest day because I was way
[10:13] too sore to go to the gym the whole
[10:14] point of a fitness journey is that it's
[10:16] a journey okay there's gonna be ups and
[10:18] downs there's gonna be days where you do
[10:20] not feel like doing it no matter what
[10:22] you do or try to tell yourself no matter
[10:23] how much pre-workout you take you're
[10:25] like I do not want to do this today and
[10:27] that's okay the fact that you keep
[10:28] trying to show up for yourself is what
[10:30] matters so really try to shift your
[10:31] perspective on falling off or skipping
[10:34] the gym as telling yourself that I took
[10:36] a necessary break for myself and my
[10:38] well-being so follow genuine fitness
[10:40] inspiration so not just the girls with
[10:42] the genetically blessed beautiful bodies
[10:44] that every single time that they post it
[10:46] just makes you feel like crap about
[10:47] yourself and I'm speaking to myself on
[10:48] this one because I used to follow all
[10:51] the girls with the most beautiful
[10:52] gorgeous faces and bodies and every
[10:54] single time they would post I would just
[10:55] feel like crap about myself so after I
[10:57] cleaned my following list and unfollowed
[10:59] all those people my mental health and my
[11:01] motivation got so much better if you
[11:03] want to follow your girl on Instagram
[11:04] littlest X by the way if you're not
[11:06] subscribed to my YouTube channel
[11:07] um what are you doing okay what are you
[11:09] doing I post some Fitness content and
[11:11] lifestyle content also some other girls
[11:13] that I personally follow that I love
[11:15] like I'm genuine fangirls over they are
[11:18] amazing Fitness Inspirations like they
[11:20] are genuinely so motivational and such
[11:22] Positive Vibes lyanna love her lehrmann
[11:24] twins they are amazing I'm obsessed with
[11:26] them Annelise Cruz Court I'll have all
[11:29] their Pages Linked In the description
[11:30] they're genuinely like amazing and they
[11:32] deserve all the hype and all the praise
[11:33] every single time any of them post I'm
[11:36] like up and motivated they make me want
[11:37] to go work out even on the days I don't
[11:39] feel like it what you consume on social
[11:40] media has a huge impact on your
[11:42] motivation so being that following list
[11:44] up and follow the people that genuinely
[11:45] motivate you and make you feel good
[11:47] about yourself
[11:50] there was a time I would go on Instagram
[11:51] and see all these girls who are super
[11:53] fit and just seem super disciplined and
[11:55] motivated and I would just be so jealous
[11:57] of them because I thought I could never
[11:58] be them but truly once I started getting
[12:00] over the self-doubt and the low
[12:02] self-esteem I finally started and stuck
[12:04] to my fitness journey and it's been four
[12:06] years now and I have not looked back so
[12:08] if regular degular me can do it I
[12:10] promise you can too so I want you guys
