🟣 nearly thrown out the gym

I love my aunt to bits

Not only does she let me chill on her NZ farm for the small payment of some M+S Percy Pigs

But she’s jokes

She told me today that I was a “dumb fucking bitch” because I bit into a mouldy plum SHE gave me

And, even if she has a funny way of showing it, she loves me too

I know as much because she boasted to the entire gym who I was and demanded everyone that worked there to “just google me” because I’m a “big deal”

So when I showed up today to record content on the sly, I had the PTs and gym owner eagerly awaiting a chin wag

Which was lovely. But also wanted to make my introverted soul who likes to pretend social media isn’t real, retreat firmly into my anus.

That emotion only escalating when it came to setting up my tripod to start recording (which always has me feeling like a prize toad) 

I was sweating like dyslexic on countdown thinking about the lines I was needing to say in front of these people

I know some of you have gym anxiety

But none of you have needed to go to the gym, set up a tripod and say;

”If you want to grow arse cheeks so big that Moses couldn’t part them”

So really… You should be GRATEFUL

😂

I get asked a fair amount how I find it recording in a gym, knowing people are watching

And the answer is - ‘I feel pretty fucking awkward’

Which I don’t know, might surprise you?

Because you don’t see the 1-2 minutes of me hyping myself up before I hit record.

Or the edits when I fuck up my line or forget to turn my mic on

You just see the end product and likely think “fuck, I could never do something like that”

But here’s a dirty little secret.

I was not born confident. I still have many moments where I don’t feel confident, like today in the gym.

I’m just good at getting the fuck on with it anyway.

And through that, I’ve discovered confidence is something that’s built with action.

Tickling a toe out into being a bit cringe and allowing yourself to fail at stuff.

Because the earlier you run INTO that embarrassment?

Like being cringe at the gym for trying to learn new movements

Or be seen trying and failing a diet, but allowing yourself to learn and move the fuck on, improving as you go

The sooner you will built the life you are so fucking desperate to build

So please

For the love of fuck, if you’re tired of feeling stuck

Do something cringe today

And if you want it to be having a go at the gym - come jump on in with my app for a free trial;

BITS FREE TRIAL

At least here you’ll make 75% less mistakes than everyone else trying the gym thing on their own

As with me in your pocket, you gain access to a tonne of wicked programs while breaking down the form of each and every lift as you go :)

Big love
