If you’re a beginner in the gym instead of single leg rdls, do deadlifts. ❤️ (gym edition) • add deadlifts and/or regular rdls as well #legday🍑 #bodytransformation #letschat #lowerbodyworkout

How Replacing Heavy Lifting to Pilates Changed Me✨

I want to add a disclaimer that every single persons body is different. My body was easily stressed with heavy lifting, and I couldn't go more than 2 days a week doing it without my body reacting negatively to it. Do I REGRET lifting? No I don't! I'm happy with the legs I built through

A collage of four images showcasing women with extremely long hair, featuring different hair colors and textures, including wavy, straight, and braided styles. The central text overlay reads: 'Super long hair isn't pretty'.

Unpopular opinion: super long hair isn’t pretty

once hair gets too long, it stops being pretty and just looks heavy, stringy, or hard to manage. Sometimes a nice mid-length or layered cut looks way healthier and way more flattering. Do you agree or do you think super long hair is still gorgeous? #AskLemon8 #LetsChat #UnpopularOpinio

A woman in a black long-sleeve top, purple shorts, and a black cap poses in a gym, introducing the topic: 'HOW TO KNOW if you're lifting heavy enough for muscle building.'

A woman performs a hip thrust exercise on a machine with heavy weights, illustrating that 'your form stayed perfect throughout all the reps in the set but the last 1-3 you were struggling to complete, you could barely get the full range of motion.'

A woman bends over in a gym with dumbbells in the foreground, demonstrating that 'you kept good form but you physically had to drop the weight to complete the reps or next set at a lower weight or body weight.'
