This app makes me realize I need to hit the gym more. Anyone have recommendations on how to stay motivated?

I like playing sports! it helps me stay mobile and active and get the body I want myself to have but it’s not boring and i don’t feel as out of place or cosmetically inclined as going to the gym can feel. When I’m at the gym I kind of can’t figure out what to do next so tennis/bouldering/gymnastics just helps me 😅 and it’s hella fun

@kings_world That’s a great plan! That all sounds really fun too. I used to dance so maybe I should get back into it 😅 Swimming has also been fun lately, I guess I could take that a bit more seriously too 😝 you make great points. Thank you ☺️

@aspn you definitely should do both and see how you feel. It’s much easier to work out this way, at least for me

For me, gyms can feel incredibly isolating, so I actually try to avoid them altogether. Instead, I stay active by engaging in group activities. I’ve found that group settings make it much easier to build a community and make friends. When you have a solid group of people expecting you to show up, that social accountability becomes a massive motivator—it makes you much less likely to skip a class or an exercise session because you genuinely don't want to let your friends down!

@xandermar you’re right, that’s probably why I loved dancing so much. It was the community 🥰 and using exercise as a creative outlet is always a plus in my books haha. I may have to look into joining some group activities in the near future

I was feeling the same way 😭 also a friendly reminder that we all dont have to look the same to be attractive or find companionship 😉😘

@rickeyxo you’re not wrong ☺️ I’ve just been patiently waiting for my twink death and it’s not happening without some sort of workout intervention apparently lol 😂
