I’m a gym girl – I started working out to widen my thigh gap, now I’m squatting my old body weight and flexing my biceps
A GYM girl has shared that although she initially started working out to widen her thigh gap, she’s since learned a valuable lesson.
The fitness influencer said she’s proud of being able to flex her biceps during sets.
Isabella (@isabellabarnesfit) shared the workout video with over 250,000 TikTok followers.
The blonde showed off her gains at a rack as she shared her thoughts.
“I find it crazy that 90% of us gym girls started with the aim of widening our thigh gap and toning our arms,” she said.
She flexed her bicep and glute growth to demonstrate the progress she’s made instead.
Although she began working out with a singular goal, she’s since made leaps and bounds in her wellness journey.
She said that when she took a look around the weight loss, she was stunned by the progress her fellow gymgoers had made.
“Now, I look around and we’re all DB squatting our old body weights and flexing our biceps between sets,” she said.
The content creator added that she wished she had a mentor who helped her through her initial mentality.
“WISH someone taught me how to skip the first part,” she said, adding the hashtags #gymmotivation and #bodypositivity.
People took to the comments to share their thoughts.
A few agreed that it was inspiring to see women challenge societal expectations at the gym.
“Love this!” said one commenter.
