On today’s episode of Reel Tip Tuesdays!

Exercising at the gym can feel very intimidating if you have no clue what you’re doing. I’m going to always suggest hiring a professional to get the result you want, but if you need to DIY this thang, here’s a good start:

🏋🏽‍♀️ Choose 6-8 movements for your entire workout. Yes, the entire workout. Choose movements that target whatever you’re working on for that day.

🏋🏽‍♀️ Complete a total of 18-24 total sets (that’s all movements combined) with 8-12 reps per set for strength or 12-20 reps per set for toning. If you’re trying to grow in size, that’s another talk for another day. Come back later.

🏋🏽‍♀️ Choose a weight that will challenge you to complete the last three reps on every set. Don’t be afraid to go heavier. Your body can tolerate a lot. Just be sure not to compromise form for the sake of intensity.

And boom 💥 you got a lil workout. Now, like a said, rely on a professional to take you to the next level. But this can be a good start for most ppl.

Put your questions in the comments or in my DMs. Y’all know I’m happy to talk 💁🏾‍♀️

People often think I love working out…and I do, lol. But it gets hard for me too and I want to quit sometimes. Yes, just like the average person. But then I remind myself that it’s just a moment. Temporary pain. The discomfort WILL pass. I just have to get to the other side. With whatever I have to give. Even if I’m on 20, I’m giving 100% of that 20. So, YOU 🫵🏾 just get to the other side today! You’ll be glad you did 💪🏾 🎥:

Y’all wanna see something??

My dad circa idek - 1999? He was the one who first exposed me to fitness and bodybuilding. He never competed but he posed for firefighter calendars, lol. Everybody used to always talk about how buff and strong he was. “Your dad looks so mean and strong! I’m not gone mess with you.” I can hear the other kids now 😂

Today, my dad lives with MS…but you couldn’t tell him that. It may break down his body but never his mind or his will. So if you’re wondering where I get any of this from, his name is Donald Gray, Sr.

Thanks for this gift, dad. You the truth! 🎉🥰
