Midsize Woman

A Gym Life Journal from a Midsize Perspective

Welcome to the fitness space on MidsizeWoman — a journal of strength, sweat, and self-respect. Here, I share my personal weightlifting journey, gym routines, and the real-life struggles of showing up in a space that wasn’t always built for women like us.

This isn’t about shrinking. It’s about building strength — inside and out.

What You’ll Find Here

• My Weightlifting Journey: From not knowing where to start, to learning how to lift with confidence — I share the real story. The good sessions, the failed reps, the inner critic, and the victories that don’t always show on the outside.
  
• Gym Routines That Work for Midsize Bodies: Weekly splits, form notes, warm-ups, cool-downs, and beginner-friendly guides. Not bro-science. Just what I’ve learned through experience, as a midsize woman navigating barbells and machines.
  
• Mindset & Confidence in the Gym: Let’s talk about gym anxiety, body image, wearing what feels right, and how to stop comparing yourself to everyone else in the mirror. Because strength is a mindset, too.
  
• Gear, Supplements & Recovery: Honest reviews of what I use and what I skip. From lifting belts to pre-workout to post-leg day soreness.

MidsizeWoman Movement Philosophy

• Move for energy, not punishment
• Rest is part of the process
• Strength looks different on everyone
• Every body deserves respect — at every size

Why This Space Exists

Because the fitness world is loud with unrealistic bodies, crash plans, and toxic expectations.
This section of MidsizeWoman is for women who want to lift heavy without carrying the weight of shame.
It’s for the in-betweens.

The not-before-and-after. The women building strength on their own terms.
