I’m a gym girl – I get sweat marks and my cellulite shows when I wear booty shorts, I want to normalize it
AN INFLUENCER and gym athlete has decided to do her bit to help normalize different body marks.
She has drawn attention to signs of cellulite in her booty shorts and sweat marks in order to destigmatize them when working out at the gym.
“Normalizing things in the gym,” said Diana Conforti (@dianaconforti) in her post.
This lady has a huge following and her message has reached a lot of people.
At the last count, she had over 5 million followers and another extraordinary 125.4 million likes.
She describes herself as a “gym athlete,” who offers, “workout plans and ab challenges,” so she knows a thing or two about the realities of the pursuit of the ‘perfect’ body and the ‘perfect’ workout challenge.
She demonstrated just how in her video, which has gone viral with over 1.1 million views.
In her post, she was seen going through her routine.
First came hip thrusts, and she zoomed in to highlight her dimpled area.
“Cellulite showing,” was captioned across the screen.
Next, on the running machine and while planking, she pointed out the wet areas: “Sweat marks,” she wrote.
Even the visible straining doing squats with weights was pointed out.
“Things not being easy,” she wrote.
She urged her followers not to be afraid to show these things.
“Happens to everyone. Let’s embrace it,” she said.
Comments to her post loved her attitude.
“Dude you’re one of my biggest inspirations, you got me going constantly. Thank you,” said this grateful fan.
“A little bit of cellulite is actually kinda cute believe it or not,” opined this viewer.
This follower agreed with her, sweat is normal: “Things are not easy in the gym when you’re working out with decent intensity and the sweat is also part of that.”
The final commenter admitted she had embraced her hot and sweaty face after a workout.
“Also the face getting red. I know it’s normal but it was an insecurity of mine which stopped me from going to the gym, but I embrace it now,” she said.
