    Act like you own it until you do. I LOVE that!

    I've only done workout A at the gym, and I was nervous. And then I realized that the guys were watching me because I was lifting heavy weights! I don't think they get to see that much. Some guys even admire it, from what im told! When I went into the cardiovascular classroom to do my step ups and prone jackknives, one of the big bodybuilders was in there, and after a little while watching me work out, he put on the song "Do your thing girl". Ive never felt so badass in my life......:-)

    THIS!!!! And, I also have a couple sets of weights at home, so things that I'm not comfy doing in the gym, I rush home and do them. I have a ball at home that I do most of my ab exercises with and I do my pushups at home because I do way more than I'm supposed to anyway.

    I think that the step ups were hardest for me b/c I have NEVER seen anyone doing them. But I love them now, they are my own little exercise and I get stares like, "what is she doing? I need to do that!".
