What got me into fitness?

Hello all, 
My name is Alexis, I am here to tell you about my fitness life and hopefully give you some helpful work outs to stay in shape. 
First off, I got into fitness after I graduated high school in 2015. I have always been really skinny, I didn't weight over 100 lb in high school. I was so tired of everyone saying "you are so skinny" every time they saw me! I started lifting weights because I got so tired of hearing it, of course I was super nervous at first I had to learn a lot about everything. Form, reps, rest time, exercises... everything was so new to me! I didn't even know where to begin. I would avoid going to the gym while people were there so I would go in the middle of the night! 
I hope that my fitness blog can help you learn some exercises and also help you gain the confidence in the gym that I didn't have.

How to Overcome Anxiety of Going to The Gym

Overcoming anxiety in the gym is hard! Trust me, whenever I first started working out I NEVER went alone. It probably took me about a month to feel comfortable going by myself. I felt like people would judge my form or me constantly looking at my phone to figure out how to do a workout. I was so shy and felt like I just wanted to leave and hide. But trust me!! IT GETS EASIER. Now, I can go to the gym and not have an ounce of anxiety. I have worked hard to get my form right but still struggle with new workouts. It takes time. Over time you will figure out how to come up with your own workout and what workouts target what muscle group. Trust the process, know that you wont see results right away but with time you will.

Fitness Influencers that I look up to

Hello, Lets talk about some of my favorite fitness influencers that I follow on Instagram. I want to talk about this because often times I find myself looking at their Instagrams searching for a new workout. Katy Hearn is my all time favorite fitness influencer, though she recently had a baby she does not post workout related stuff anymore but her and her husband have an app you can download. Within this app is so many different plans you can purchase to help you workout either in the gym or at home. If you are wanting to purchase a workout guide I strongly encourage you to take a look at her guides, they are pretty affordable as well! They also have their own supplement line! I love their BCAAS and their pancake protein! I started following Katy Hearn as soon as began working out which was over 3 years ago and have always looked up to her! I love her body and even her life (scary I know)! She owns her own gym and is killing the shoulder gains! Prior to having baby Axel her ...

The booty.... might be the number 1 thing girls want to target. Hey, I get it. I have been there. But you don't just want to focus on this otherwise you will no be proportional. Whenever I hit glutes I go hard! I get so motived to make them grow that I put more effort into hitting them than anything else! I usually try to incorporate glute workouts in my leg days but also add a separate day to really make sure I am targeting them completely! Here is a little glute workout that goes a long way! 4x15 Single leg deadlifts 4x10 hip thrusts 4x15 bent over kickbacks Throughout each workout really focus on the muscle!
