EXPOSING MYSELF
For those that don’t know, I am studying Kinesiology in school which is the study of the human body through movement and physical activity. Ever since being a Team USA athlete, the gym has been my safe space. I love lifting heavy weights, having muscle, and feeling like a badass. It’s a place where I can forget about all my worries and push myself. COVID has thrown off my game. I am the kind of person who loves lifting weights rather than body weight or aerobic training, and with all the gyms being closed, I haven’t been able to get a proper workout in since February. 6 months of not lifting weights has caused my body composition to shift. I lost 10 lbs of mostly muscle since the previous spring semester and I am now at the weight I was when I was in my last season of skating. Now, I preach muscle and working out for quality of life but this change in my physique is bringing me back to my skating days when all I wanted was to have a thigh gap. I find myself looking in the mirror now standing with my back slightly arched and feeling happy that my thighs don’t touch...THIS is NOT what I consider a healthy mentality. THIS is what skating and society have trained my mind to believe. THIS is the cycle that has to be BROKEN. I long for the day when I can go back to the gym and start working on hypertrophy, but until then, I challenge the thoughts that I should stay looking this “petite”.
STRONG IS BEAUTIFUL BECAUSE STRONG IS HEALTHY.
This is the motto that I want to live by. I wanted to open up about my thoughts because they have been very conflicting the last several months and it shows that even with being retired from skating for two years, it is so easy to fall back into a familiar pattern. #womeninathletics
