I’m a gym girl – I lost 90 lbs by ditching cardio for something completely different, people say they ‘love my routine’
A GYM fan has revealed how she ditched the cardio and lost a jaw-dropping 90 pounds.
She said that due to a medical condition, she had more effective ways to lose weight.
Nyx Wintersbane (@thehuskulargoddess) said that polycystic ovarian syndrome, or PCOS, caused her to look into weight lifting to shed the pounds.
“POV: you realized heavy lifting was better for your PCOS than cardio,” she wrote in the video.
She showed herself at the beginning of her fitness journey doing dead lifts and other weight training exercises.
In a video transition, the gym babe appeared significantly thinner and more toned.
The slim thick beauty showed herself on the shoulder press and the leg extension, clearly unafraid to hit the heavy weights.
“I have endometriosis and PCOS,” she shared. “I had no idea how much harder losing weight was with PCOS because I was doing cardio.”
PCOS is a hormonal condition that is often associated with weight fluctuations.
“Skipping cardio and focusing on heavy lifting helped me lose weight in ways I never would have dreamed I could have accomplished with PCOS,” she added.
The video struck a chord with viewers who shared their thoughts in the comment section.
“I love your routine,” one wrote. “I started it Monday oh my God I finally feel like I am making change. Thank you.”
“You are so very welcome,” Nyx replied. “This message put a huge smile on my face.”
“Do you have any beginner tips?” another asked.
“Focus on form over everything,” Nyx replied. “You don’t ever have to step foot in a gym if you want to get started.”
“OK lifting is fun to me,” a third commented. “So I can skip the cardio and do this.”
