I’m a gym girl and love my lil under-bum cellulite – it’s totally healthy, my belly squish is normal too
A FITNESS pro has challenged harmful self image in the gym.
She showed that having curves is something to celebrate and normalize, not demean.
In the TikTok video, Erica Nangle (@ericananglefit) could be seen in the gym, where she was lifting weights in a sports bra and shorts.
She pointed to the cellulite underneath her backside and said: “I just want to remind you guys that this is very normal.”
The gym fanatic added that it is “totally healthy” and a “sign of growth” when you’ve been pumping iron and getting fit.
In another shot, Nangle sat on the floor with a bar bell over her legs and the middle pressed against her stomach.
She leaned onto the bar and rolled it over her legs, showing her stomach pressed against it as she moved.
“Your belly is going to squish against the pad,” she said.
“Love your body anyways,” she continued while lifting herself up into a bridge.
Nangle concluded her impromptu PSA with a message for people who are self-conscious about their bodies.
“We’re all about that self-love in this household,” she declared.
In the comments, people thanked Nangle for inspiring them to get moving.
“Thanks for the video. So many will be motivated,” wrote one appreciative commenter.
“Your content always makes me feel so good! Thanks girly!” said another.
Others appreciated the confidence boost for their own body positive journeys.
One person confessed: “I get so self-conscious about this! I needed this.”
Someone else felt more comfortable sharing their own content after watching Nangle’s.
“I filmed myself running into the ocean the other day and was like, Wtf is that, and almost didn’t share it. So, thanks for this reminder.”
