Episode 92 – What the Gym Taught Me When I Was 12

I fell in love with the gym when I was 12 and it taught me so much about myself and life. As a kid I was always striving and wanting to be more athletic, to be good at sports and I knew deep down that moving your body was the key to long term health.

As many young girls do I started to feel pressure to be skinnier, lose weight, and be smaller. Regardless of whether I needed to lose weight or not, I felt like I did and this propelled me to my next (and my life direction) path.

I started doing step aerobics to a work out video (Kathy Smith!!) in the living room and quickly realized that endorphins were incredible and made me feel so good. I was instantly hooked. Not long after that my friend and I joined the YMCA so we could start lifting weights and getting stronger for the upcoming middle school volleyball season.

I FELL IN LOVE.

Lifting weights made me feel strong, confident, and like I could conquer the world. I learned that I could work to improve the weight I was lifting and see progress quickly. This also translated to so much of my life.

I want that experience for young girls. I want them to be able to walk into a gym, feel confident with the knowledge of what to do, and experience the growth that can happen physically and emotionally by becoming stronger.

I hope you’ll listen to more of my story on EPISODE 92 of the podcast. You can listen HERE.
