Cyborg fight with Rebekah Marine and Angel Giuffria

Working out has always been a huge struggle for me. I lacked the motivation and felt helpless trying to figure out adaptive ways of using the equipment. The problem? I always went to the gym with the mindset of losing weight. Once I rid myself of the scale and the unrealistic expectations of having a thigh gap, I’ve learned to love working out. This is the body I’m stuck with for the rest of my life, so it’s important to me now that I keep it healthy and strong. It’s not about the pounds to me anymore. In fact, I can’t remember the last time I weighed myself. Sometimes all it takes is finding what works for you. Whether it’s just 20 minutes on the treadmill, or 45 minutes of strength training, just get in there and do it! Your body will thank you.
