I’m a gym bunny – my ‘quiet spot’ workout is the ultimate routine for shy girls and you can’t argue with the results
A FITNESS influencer has shared a quick and easy workout for women who don’t want to draw a lot of attention at the gym.
The whole routine consists of just six simple exercises. They require nothing more than a mat and a pair of dumbbells.
Natalee shared the routine in a TikTok clip which has since been viewed nearly 7million times and garnered more than 800,000 likes.
“If I was a super, super shy girl and I didn’t want to take up any space in the gym… this is what I would do,” the fitness guru said.
After finding a quiet spot, a mat, and a set of dumbbells that aren’t too heavy, Natalee started the routine with some static lunges.
“One foot in front of the other,” she said.
“I’d come down and I’d drive through that heel.”
Natalee recommended doing three sets of eight reps for each leg.
“The second exercise I would do, to hit the upper body, is a bicep curl,” she said.
“I hold the dumbbells in front of me underhand and I’d curl upwards, just standing with my feet together.”
Natalee recommended doing three sets of ten reps.
After that, it’s time to get started on the lower body.
“I’d put my dumbbells on my shoulders, put my feet shoulder width apart, and I’d come down into a squat,” Natalee said.
The exercise requires three sets of ten reps.
After that, she moved on to the shoulder press.
“We put our dumbbells at our side, feet together, and we push up above our head
Again, Natalee recommended three sets of ten reps.
Next, she said it’s time to put the dumbbells aside and focus on the abs.
“I would do a plank for as long as I could hold it, and then I would repeat that three times,” Natalee said.
After that, the routine is almost over.
“The final exercise I would do is a glute bridge,” Natalee said.
“I’d grab only one dumbbell, I put it on my pelvis. I’d lay on my back and I would drive upwards.”
This exercise also requires three sets of ten reps.
A few commenters pointed out that working out in front of heavily-trafficked equipment isn’t exactly a great way to avoid attention.
“I would never do it in front of the bells bc people are gonna be coming in to get them and I’m in the way,” one said.
Another commenter wondered if it made sense to be in public at all.
“If you were that shy why pay for a gym membership when you can do it at home with nobody around?” they asked.
“Because it’s about getting comfortable in the gym environment,” Natalee replied.
“If you stay home, you’ll never be confident in the gym.”
