Struggling!
Oh boy, now that I have lost 83lbs over the last 2 years I find myself having another problem…….leaning out and building some definition!! I struggle with weight training I want to have fab abs and awesome legs and glutes but I just can’t seem to get into a really great weight training routine! I am good for about 2 weeks then something happens and I skip one training session then another! I know that I will never get where I want to be if I can’t be consistant. I am tired of hearing about how I have no butt! l know that already….lol! I never miss Cardio, but when it comes to weight training I just freak myself out or something, I don’t really know what to do at the gym, and I feel like a dork like everyone is watching me and saying what the hell is she doing, she’s doing it all wrong. Its like I have a phobia of making a fool out of myself. Has anyone else felt this way and how did u overcome it?

Oh yes! The first time I walked into the "mens" side of the YMCA where we had a membership at the time and all of those dumb bells were staring at me, sure I felt like a dork using them. It helped to have someone to drag along with me (lol ) but really if you get some magazines like Oxygen or Hers Muscle and Fitness, then you can see some of the exercises and feel more comfortable about doing them because you’ll KNOW how to do them. I stuck with the machines for a long time and just did one or two with the dumb bellls until I got more confident. Get you a game plan before you go in. Good luck, you can do it.
