“because lifting makes you manly”
⠀
?I once believed that if I lifted weights, I would lose my femininity - that in choosing strength, I had to bare losses instead of gains. so in 2014, for the first few months of working out, I skimmed past weight rooms and opted only for cardio machines - I felt as if health started and ended at a treadmill for the female body. That if I lifted weights, I would somehow morph into a man (serious fear at the time)
⠀
?that was until my brother came up to me one day as I was on an elliptical - he looked over at my machine, checked the total time elapsed, and pressed stop. “No more cardio”, he said. He then took me over to the weight section and gave me a list of exercises to do.
⠀
?I remember that day so clearly - I was both stubborn and fearful. I was at the gym to adopt a healthy lifestyle, to grow more comfort in my skin - I felt that lifting would produce the opposite effect. But my brother was the reason I began training in the first place. His life embodied health, in every way the word encompassed. so I inevitably trusted him.
⠀
?although he is not here today, my pursuit in the fitness industry
⠀
my confidence in my skin,
⠀
my recovery,
⠀
my appreciation for health,
⠀
is both by and for him?
