Ladies, do you ever feel competition at the gym? Like when you see a really fit girl showing off?

Question

I am trying my best to get in better shape but I always see women who wear sports bras and tight shorts and they look so great and confident, whenever I see them my ego is reduced to the size of a pea. I feel terrible, like I must be so disgusting compared to them! :( You guys ever feel this way?

Answer 1

I dont. Actually the more you work out the better you feel - more confident and happier. Just look how you feel in the beginning of workout and after 30-45min - i usually cant get off the cardio machine once i have passed 30 minutes.
You go to the gym so that means you are taking care of your body and thats all you can do -some people have better genetics that others.

Answer 2

I see maybe one or two every time I go to the gym. It doesn't make me feel like it's a competition but it definitely makes me want to work harder and eat better. I see a lot more out of shape people which makes me feel like, "hey, I'm not as bad as I thought!". Which may sound shallow but everyone does it. Just try to brush it off and tell yourself if you put your mind to it, you'll look twice as good as they do!

Yes..its good..keeps you in line.

Helpful Tips for weight loss:

1)A good way to loose weight is to use a calorie counter watch

Keep to a 1,200 food intake

Add 1,200 plus 3,500 (equals one pound of fat) ...and that is the total amount of calories you need to burn each day. Its actually really easy once you start watching the numbers and it doesn't seem like work or exercise. Its just a matter of changing the way you think about loosing weight.

I use this method when i gain some pounds. I did this and I went from 168 to 127 because I did it smart and the healthier way.

2) Most people do not get enough water in their system. Water is your body's principal chemical component, comprising, on average, 60 percent of your weight. Every system in your body depends on water. For example, water flushes toxins out of vital organs, carries nutrients to your cells and provides a moist environment for ear, nose and throat tissues.

Lack of water can lead to dehydration, a condition that occurs when you don't have enough water in your body to carry out normal functions. To determine if you are getting enough water use this simple formula.. Take your weight, for example 150 pounds and divide by 2. Take your answer which is 75 lbs and change it to ounces, in this case 75 ounces. That is how many ounces of water you need a day. Your body performs mostly on water. If you make sure you get enough water everyday your body will perform at top notch and your body will no longer have the cravings of junk food. You will have a better performing body system to help you work out and feel better thru out your day.

Answer 5

I did get out of a ticket once for being all sweet and flirting with the officer, but I didn't show him my girls but I did get some drinks for showing off my girls! <3

Answer 6

the gym is not a fashion show. this is why i train in a crappy gym where only guys go. people go to the gym and act like its a bar. go to the gym workout and go home. who cares what anybody else looks like. if youdo care your working outfor the wrong reasons. workout to better yourself not to impress anyone.

Answer 7
