We should all remember "it's you vs you". Let's all try to become better than the person we were yesterday and not just physically but mentally as well! Your advice is always gold Lena ✨️💗
1) Create a why **“I want to be the most fittest, healthiest, confident version of myself mentally and physically”** 2) Create 3 non-negotiables: e.g I will work out x amounts a weak, I will meal prep on x number of days, I will incorporate (exercise of choice) 3) Be a doer, not a sayer Be a women that sticks to her work and actually takes action than just saying you’ll start doing things I will… I must… I am… 4) Create a work out split and routine you’ll genuinely enjoy Find your preference for exercise (dancing, stretching, boxing, pilates, running, walking, Zumba etc) 5) Prepare to make sacrifices (like comfort, night’s out, etc.) 6) Be a student and learn (everyone is a beginner at first and don’t be afraid to try new things) 7) 21 90 rule: states that it takes 21 days to make a habit and 90 days to make it a permanent lifestyle 8) Food is fuel: eat in moderation, eat as many whole foods as possible, wouldn’t recommend tracking calories for peace and sanity 9) Food swaps: 10) Aim for progress NOT perfection !n: stop the all or nothing mentality. Anything that makes you 1% better than yesterday is PROGRESS 11) Take rest days (but for the right reasons and intention)
Last time what dragged me to the gym was literally the fact, that I was extremely tired but couldn't fall asleep for a nap, because I have insomnia. So I got up and went to the gym to get in movement to get the best nightsleep I could get. It worked.
Also, who comes to a workout channel to complaint that they’re being pressured to work out? That’s like complaining that all they do on American Idol is sing.
This is random but you should start a podcast! I love your content and channel so much. you are my fitness inspiration and I’m so proud of how far you’ve come on your journey.
Health is wealth. As someone who works in the healthcare industry, nothing in life is enjoyable without health, no matter any other form of wealth. This is my why. To show up and enjoy the moment fully, to be the best version of myself, and to make sure that I am fully fit to enjoy the blessings in my life. ❤️
I am a crochet and knit FANATIC! An ideal day for me is literally sitting all day knitting and crocheting. But I LOOOOVE your channel cuz you constantly remind me how important movement and routine is. I now have my lil morning routine where I can fit in crochet/knit AND exercise in my day. Thank you so much! 🥰🥰🥰
Homeschooling momma to 3, one is special needs - I'm just trying to be the healthiest (mentally, spiritually, & physically) to show up for these kiddos and myself.
Same here ...mother of two, one with special need.. thinking of home schooling. Wants to be mentally spiritual and physically strong for myself and for them.😊
I don’t know why but when you say “ your not a enfluencer … your a full time student your already really busy..” it make me want to cry… I’m from Canada and I go trough soooooi much ting that I can’t all tell about it… it make me want to cry cause I put so much pressure on my self … and this day my life is up and down.. soo thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ (Sorry for my English I’m from Quebec and I speak French I’m trying my best)
my “why’s” • i want to be fit for dance (i am a dancer and i want to start pilates so i can be more flexible) • i want to feel the burnish feeling and the feeling of the next day after u work out bc it makes me feel so good abt myself • i want to physically look better so i will fit in w my fellow dancers (i do have a pretty slim body but im not v muscular, thats what i rly care abt) my three non negotiables • i will work out four times a week • i will eat healthy 80% of my meals • i will always warm up and cool down bonus non negotiable lol • i will do pilates and dance cardio
Hi Lena! I’m a young teen and I found your channel one day and instantly fell in love. My “why” is to become a better athlete. I play lacrosse and basketball and I want to build endurance. 1. I will go to the gym at least once per week (I normally do home workouts) 2. I will run at least twice a week 3. I will make sure to only eat one treat per day
My "why" is that i wanna become the best version of myself and look at the mirror with a smile on my face. im tired of always being lazy and not having energy. i wanna change my negative mindset and be the best version of myself like i said.
I’m new to the fitness journey and fell off this past week (I’m on my period so I can’t fully put myself down). Lena you are a big source of motivation I appreciate you!! I’m starting this fitness journey to have better health and better habits than just be on my phone. I’m driving for discipline over motivation! Monday: cardio in the morning, legs in the afternoon Tuesday: chest, tris, shoulders Wednesday: back and biceps Thursday: legs and glutes And the rest of the week I take for myself to rest (mainly cause of work) I’ve done this the past month and it actually helps me! I had my week to chill and care for myself but I’m making sure I stay disciplined!! Love you Lena!! ✨
I started my workout journey at the end of December because I wanted to improve my physical health so that I didn’t struggle so much doing everyday physical tasks and walking and not only have these tasks become much easier, I’ve also been able to lose some excess weight that I gained from unhealthy eating and inactivity! My initial goal was to work out twice a week with a mix of cardio/strength/and HIIT training and now I am up to 3/4 days a week!! Your videos are such an inspiration for me and I wouldn’t have been so successful without your videos being such a great motivator to actually improve my quality of life!
Hii,Lena I am 13 and I started watching you 3 months ago and you have helped me so much i am really insecure about myself but you have helped me feel so much better, I started reading the book you recommended atomic habits and it has helped me so much, I broke my leg last Saturday but you have made me feel strong and bc of you I have became so much better in my life, ngl I was a really messy person and after I watched your videos you helped me be more productive, and now I wake up at 5 am to get ready for school before I broke my leg. And i used to wake up at 7:30 and my school starts at 8 but you helped me so much i feel like you are my older sister and you give me so much advice. Thank you so much❤
all or nothing is so true for me cause i really had this 1hr workout plan for almost a month and due to some reason i skipped two days and i didn't even realise when those 2 days became two months and now almost 6 months are over. gonna use this vedio as my sign to resume my routine coz if i can do that for a month i know that i do have the potential of working and i can go for it. ilysm for this vedio
leaving a comment here so i remember the start of my fitness journey ♥ my why: want to create a healthier lifestyle for myself and improve my confidence! three non-negotiables: (1) will only have ramen once per month (2) will practice dance once every week (3) will go on a morning 1-mile run & stretch thank u lena for the video~ 😊
I am so glad I found you. My WHY is to feel better, improve my health, and get my energy back. I have been trying to get my daily steps, I am strength training 3 days a week and working on doing it 4 days a week. My guilty pleasure is cheerwine zero. I lLOVE my sweets too and I have been swapping for healthier options. I’m down 22 lbs but I have a lot more to go ❤❤❤❤
I am 16 years old and the short story is, I am basically obese. Your video helped me actually focus on my weight loss goal and actually be serious about myself and the person I wanna become. Thank you so much❤
I love how you include such transparency and realistic advice. Because all these influencers just motivate and don’t talk about being more realistic to our own lifestyles. ❤❤❤
I’m 52yrs old and everything you say resonates with me. You make more sense than anyone I’ve come across, so glad I found your channel. Love your insights and inspiration 😊
Hey Lena! I turn 15 this year and honestly, Ive been throught so much to the point ive deleted and re-made my accounts, got into good habits, fell into the bad ones etc etc and you're videos motivate me SO much! Right now, Im feeling better but since the start of the 2nd simester of school my grades slipped, mental health got bad and started being unhealthy (yes, again). You're videos motivate me so much and make me feel so much better ❤️ I hope that I can start being healthy again, both mentally and physically (i have my phone only on the weekends and have nothing to look forward to most days soo 😅 yeah im a mess) Been zoning out etc etc so this is a reminder to everyone wether your an adult or teenager that everything will be alright ❤ and somedays we fall and we CAN get back up! Dont give up yall, we can do it!! 🫂🫂
Hiii Lena my goal is to build strength and endurance, also feel the best mentally and physically. Since last year I have been working out but this year I am trying to be more consistent and feel more confident in myself. You have really helped me stay motivated and focused on my goals so thank you.
Today is day 20 of my 21-day challenge. After day 21, I'm getting myself active wear to carry on with my new healthy lifestyle. I'm glad you talked about it. And you have been my biggest motivation. I'm so glad I found your channel😊. PS After 3 weeks of consistently working out, I feel more confident and lighter. And my days are generally more productive. Thank you Lena!
Just discovered your yt channel and gurl, I've never been into vloggers but 👀 babe I just felt amazing and comfy from the very first moment. Literally the only one which messages really gets me ✨️ real motivation
this video was much needed, i was making excuses for the past few weeks but now is the time to stop being lazy, even if its just for a 10 minutes workout, thank you lena
Love your take on calories and moderation. I really struggle with slipping into disordered eating habits and thoughts whenever I diet. This balanced approach is so much more realistic and achievable for me
Thank you Lena, iv been binge watching netflix instead of sleeping. I need to do better, im always exhausted. def need to up my workout game & nutrition. Great motivational talk.
I’m 4-5 months into keeping a workout routine and your videos have helped support my hype along the way! I wanted to add that for people intimidated by keeping a routine for 21 days, remember that rest days/hot girl walks + stretching/being a potato are a part of that routine and are powerful assets if you’re intentional about them! I also have a TH-cam playlist of videos to watch on my cardio days that help me look forward to my treadmill/bike time ☺️ (Best believe you’re HEAVY in that playlist rotation Lena 🎉)
My Why: I want to be the most vibrant, confident and happiest version of myself. Moving my body feels good in the moment, makes me feel accomplished and enhances my energy/mood throughout the day. 1. I will stay consistent for 1 week, to start. And increase my consistency each week. I will stay optimistic! 2. I will eat healthy and be conscious about what and when I eat. Food is fuel not comfort. I will consume less processed foods and sugars. 3. I will journal my day ahead of time. I will plan out what I would love my day to look like to keep me in check. This help me create a realistic expectation of what I am capable of doing. ❤ Thanks Lena! Love you boo! ✨🤍🙏
You go girl! I have been consistent this year and man, my body feels so different in a good way. It’s literally life changing. I set up goals and challenges for myself and when I complete it, it’s the best reward to know that I did that. ;)
I was just journaling this morning about wanting to start working out and staying consistent! When I saw this pop up, I was like omg you are a QUEEN🤭🤍!!! ILYSM you are so motivating + inspiring. I cannot say it enough👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hi Lena! I just started going to CrossFit with my mom and lately I've been seeing some good resulta not only physically but I'm so much more happier. My WHY is because I want to be healthy, and I want to be confident in my own body. You channel has motivated me and I've been going for abt 2 weeks now!
thank you Lena! im 21 years old and im trying to start working out for couple years, but it never worked out. this video really helped and motivated me, so i will start running!
at the end of 2023 i finally got over my fear of the gym (ok it’s still there a little but we’re trying) and got back into a consistent routine, then got sick for 2 weeks in january and couldn’t workout and it was horrible. really once you start working out and get consistent with it it feels AMAZING and now im consistent with working out, i still have a lot to learn but im learning so much from you lena
Girl I was consistent 2 years ago and then fell off because of stress from school and overworking myself but we have a stable job now and now I have a routine :) can’t wait to keep up my consistency ☺️
THE TRUTH! Don’t apologize, people are too sensitive but telling the truth is important! I appreciate everything you said in this video! Def need this push ❤
I have been missing you for 10 days. I always reminded myself that Lena will make up my day in a moment. You always make me stay motivated and make my day. How was your week? Mine was good, and you made it better. luv you lena
I started my workout journey less than a year ago and you have been my top motivator throughout it all. I would chug pre workout or coffee and watch your videos before I would workout to get me mentally prepared😂 thanks so much for your positive energy and not being afraid to tell us the hard truth🫶🏽
I’ve been working out since the start of 2024 and I’ve already lost a lot of weight (healthily). U inspired me to do it, giving me motivation when I needed it and helped me discipline when I didn’t want to go 😭😭 u also helped me get into praying in the morning/night. I’ve become the girl I’ve wanted to be for years. Thank you so much 💗💗💗🫶🫶🫶🫶
hi lena! im 15 and ive always put off going to the gym, but this video gave me so much inspiration. just know your helping alot of young girls start their fitness journey. thank you! 💗💗
Lena you are my wellness big sister. You are so relatable and real. Like I genuinely believe that watching your videos have changed EVERYTHING for me. Keep killing it xxxx
my why: I’ve been in a slump lately. im mentally and emotionally drained. I’m tired of not living up to the standards I have for myself and falling short in almost everything I do. I’m tired of living my life the way I am so something needs to change. Exercising helps with a lot, especially when it comes to mental health. I’m doing it for my mental state, she deserves better up there 🙂
Hi lena, I didn't want to workout and I remembered what you said in your previous video, that you have to stay consistent, so I just did a 15 min ab workout and feel so much better. Thanks for video lena, it always comes at the end of the day and I love ending my day with your videos.
Lena i just wanted to say your videos were one of the primary reasons i started working out. I’m barley on week 3 but i am going strong. Thank you !! 💗💗
Hello Lena, thank you very much ❤ Been feeling low since I started to slack off after 5 weeks of consistent workout and wasn't seeing any difference in my weight. And I ended up indulging more junk and sugary foods...As I was scrolling I came across your video today, and you made my day! I now get where are my mistakes in my fitness journey. Thanks again feeling grateful to your videos and your amazing vibrational energy 🙏🏾
You’re so inspiring. NO CAP. I’m trying to romanticize cardio & every time I do elevated walks on the treadmill I have to pull up Lena’s motivational videos lol it helps me get thru my 20min cardio 😭. My WHY is to have a healthier lifestyle and show my daughter someday how to have a healthy relationship w/ her body. Thank you for continuing to post content like this! Much love! 🫶🏼
Since the start of the new year I have worked out 3 times a week, even sometimes more and as well as fixing my sleep schedule I feel so much healthier physically and mentally. Your videos give me something to look forward to every week and I genuinely picture you cheering me on when trying to do my last reps at the gym and it helps me push through
girl, i love u the MOSTTT. I'm actually 14 and I've always been fat and bullied, but when I started watching ur videos I firstly didn't have any energy to do anything, and now I'm slowly starting to love me and my time. I hope I can write another comment one day saying I totally made it. love uuuu❤
Lena! Your advice always hits home - it's me against me, striving for progress every day! This video came just in time. I've been slacking, but no more excuses! Your uploads always light up my fitness journey 🌟💖 Let's keep that motivation flowing! 💪
hey, thank you soooo much because I've spent ALL week lounging in my bed watching TH-cam. Your video is the only one that made me get up and workout, thank you so so sooo much! xx ❤❤
Lena i didn’t see this video the other day but i started going to the gym with one of my best friends and we honestly feel so much better not only physically but mentally. Your channel and your personality inspires me to be the best version of myself! Not only exiting my lazy girl era but also beginning my healthy girl era
I love your videos. They often help me to get back on track and motivate me again when I'm not feeling it. Also your spotify playlist helps me to actually get up and start my pre-workout and workout. Thank you so much for that!
I struggle with bad health anxiety so I feel like working out would be a great outlet for me and also a way to promote my cardiac/ respiratory AND mental health. I also look back to times when I finished a workout and felt so proud of myself and just had this really crazy internal boost of energy which made me feel like I could take on anything.
I fell off working out for the past couple of weeks without even realizing it. But seeing your video gave me so much motivation & inspiration to start again! I wrote down all your tips, & gonna incorporate a few workouts in. I signed up for my first ever half marathon in April, & I have been lacking motivation to train but I'm definitely going to start up again until race day! You're legit my fav fitness content creator because you are so REAL & literally give THEEE BEST advice! Thank you for being such an amazing inspiration & overall amazing human being! LOVE YA GIRLLL!! ☺🤍
Hi Lena!! I’m 16 nearly 17 and I have become serious with my weight and body for about a month now,this was after you woke me up! Made me motivated to grab life with both hands and take control! So my workout routine at the minute is I weighted hula hoop 7 days a week for as long as possible and I’ve so far lost 10ibs! Even my family are noticing it! I even have a little ab line forming in the middle of my tummy! I can’t thank you enough for what you’ve done for me! And what you continue doing!! All my love ❤️
Really needed this. I fell off-track last year after a horrible breakup and been slowly getting back on track with healthy habits. This video really meant a lot
I am turning 16 very soon and I want to start running. I have been a subscriber of yours for a long time now, after watching your videos I get motivation to workout BUT i never do it anyway and always say ''I will start later''... This video actually has motivated me not to give up and go for my goal to set a new, healthy habit. I love you and thank you, Lena!😙❤❤
Omg u are the first person to say do not track calories. I’ve been struggling so much with working out and food and it’s been stressful to track my calories. And I deal with anxiety and depression too. This video came just in time I needed to hear this. I’m going to be getting back on my journey! ❤️
I’ve been struggling with my hip and my back lately so I’ve been nervous to start strength training again… but I do try to move everyday. I love my hot girl walks, dancing, and staying active regardless. I’m down 33 pounds total from my heaviest weight and it’s only the beginning. Love the motivation from your videos!
i haven’t been THIS early in so long so i just want to say how proud i am of you and how much your videos really do help me. genuinely thank you so much 🤍🤍🤍 ALSO it’ll be three years since i started watching you this year 🤧
It's like you knew I needed this video. About a week ago I went to a doctor's appointment and found out my liver enzymes were high. Im getting closer to 30 and I just know I need to take care of my health. I have a wedding coming up also but my health is what is going to keep me motivated. I got this, we got this ❤️❤️ thanks for this video and I love your honesty in this one ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lena, love your video!! One major thing that helped with my physical fitness journey is therapy. At some point in my life my spirit broke and I detached myself from myself along the way. My journey to finding my self-worth through therapy lead me to physical fitness again. Please everyone, take care of yourselves mentally too ❤
Hi Lena! i started running a few weeks now, and i really enjoy, i put my headphones on and just run, it's amazing how it makes me fell! i really love your videos and all the energy you show! I'm also struggling with my belly since always, and a little bit with my food relationship, want to change! thanks for all your motivation and videos!! - Also, thanks because for your videos i can keep my English fluent! (from Argentina) so, thank (again) for everything 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Hii Lena❤!I am 12 and I struggle with my weight all the time soo ur video is a savior!!And I Wanna start working out Bc i Wanna look good in competitons,and to make dancing easier, people to stop judging me and to feel healthier!!!And obvi love ur vids!!!❤❤❤
hi lenaaa!!!! im am 13 years old and im so thankful for u vids , u vids are life changing!!! i was 12 when i started following u now i became more better thanks to u!
long time watcher/subscriber, first time commenter here 🙋🏻♀️ Lena, let me tell you, your words and energy just have a way to my soul on my good days and even on my down days like today.. i cried, like bowled my eyes out, when you moved into your new apartment because you just worked so hard for this 😩 thank you for your presence in this world 💖 i feel motivated to tackle my tasks for the day!
Thank you for the motivation and positive self love talk. I must go to the gym again and maintain a consistent schedule love the positive and keeping self discipline is key 💗
(Commenting to help feed the algorithm!) I’ve been a weightlifting athlete for years but I still watch these videos because they’re a great boost and I love the positive messaging. It’s great to see how many other people have been inspired to workout more consistently because of you, Lena. Much love from a Canadian subscriber 🤍🤍🤍
Lena I just started following you from a month. But I can say that from a month, you changed my whole life. I started being motivated again and I started working out.Thank you so much and I love u 🥰❤❤❤
Hey Lena ❤ I want to just say thank you for your content I am on my fitness journey and I struggle a lot with commitment to my fitness goals after watching this I gave myself realistic goals. I thank you so much for the push and support. Sometimes we need someone to remind us to keep going!
Hey Lena im a 13 year old and overweight and ive been having a hard time with changing my life and getting better but after watching you and seeing your videos I am now slowly changing. So thank you for being an inspiration to me ❤ Also GIRL you are such a tole model.
Theese videos are so helpful. I have started working out and stopped so many times because the "all or nothing" mentality and got discouraged if i didnt see progress quickly. After watching your videos i started changing my mind set and realised i love streching and i have been consistently streching from july last year. This is the longest i have ever been consistent. Thank you for theese vidoes, you help so may people☺️💕
I agree I've been working out now for about 7 weeks and its been a challenge and its been a change for the better.. And now I'm really motivated and very time I watch your vids I get more motivated. So thank you.
I’m so shook that someone commented “stop pressuring people to workout” 😭 your name is Lena LIFTS anyway, just wanted to share that you’ve been helping me get back into the gym. my mental health has been trash and watching your videos has given me the motivation I couldn’t give myself 🩷 last night’s gym day was the first in weeks (maybe even a couple months)
I started working out at the start of November and was disciplined till January but in feb I started skipping workouts and you video actually gave me a boost to stop skipping days
Thank you so much Lena, this really helped me learn more. I have been working out for a few years now, but not consistently, so I am trying to workout more without any excuses!
Hi Lena!! My WHY for working out is to get into shape so I may be able to conceive. I'm already 32 yrs. old and people keep saying there is no deadline but really, THERE IS🤣. I have been adviced by my OBGYN to keep my weight in check. Looking so fit ans model-like is just a bonus for me! As for those who feel like it's too superficial to workout, it's totally a scientific or medical thing to keep your body moving in any way you can. For those who don't have time, I've been there, too. I became a college instructor and juggling other VA jobs and heck, time was challenging but I pushed myself to workout on off-days in school. Working out also helped me out to navigate through stressful days. Love you, Lena. Thanks for hyping me up today!
There's a family reunion in my house and kids are just..... Lovely I guess. I locked myself in my room with someone's baby and here is my reward... A lena video. I hope the kids don't somehow break the door. Lol. And I've been actually struggling a little bit with working out bc of my exams. So here is motivation. Luv u lena😚💋💜💜
MY GIRL IS BACK!! Happy belated birthday my angel! I truly have no words to describe how you made me look at fitness and food in a realistic manner. Everyone, this is your girl right here, she's seriously the definition of authenticity! Love you so much queen, seriously 2024 is your 24K magic year queen!
Girl I LOVE your energy, advice, videos, just everything😍 this is the second video of yours that I watch and I am ready to change my life lol Thank you for the motivation!!!🫶🏼
I love the part where you recognize that everyone has a different privilege, and that we need to tailor our workouts to US. A lot of people on this platform go for, not necessarily on purpose, but the "guilt-tripping" route where it's all "STOP MAKING EXCUSES." And while it's important to have discipline, sometimes our lives don't allow us too. But it's so nice and refreshing to see someone recognizing this!
Lena I’m so obsessed with ur tips!I started 5 months ago and the results is AMAZING I have my dream body I will never stop watching ur tips and videos!💕
Lena ! I love your realness, and you are saying exactly what everyone should hear! How we all interpret it, and feel about it can vary, but I think you are correct in every way. We’re all pushing to be better, and the fact is, we have to have mental fortitude. We’re all determined to be better, stronger, and healthier. That is real beauty in every way!! Keep up the great work 💯💯🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️🔥
I will begin working out so I can boost my confidence and work on my discipline and motivation. You mentioned that while you were disciplining yourself to remain consistent in your workouts, it positively affected your focus in other areas of your life. As someone who gets easily distracted, I think that working will benefit me there too.
We should all remember "it's you vs you". Let's all try to become better than the person we were yesterday and not just physically but mentally as well! Your advice is always gold Lena ✨️💗
YESSS love you vs you ❤
1) Create a why
**“I want to be the most fittest, healthiest, confident version of myself mentally and physically”**
2) Create 3 non-negotiables: e.g I will work out x amounts a weak, I will meal prep on x number of days, I will incorporate (exercise of choice)
3) Be a doer, not a sayer Be a women that sticks to her work and actually takes action than just saying you’ll start doing things
I will…
I must…
I am…
4) Create a work out split and routine you’ll genuinely enjoy
Find your preference for exercise (dancing, stretching, boxing, pilates, running, walking, Zumba etc)
5) Prepare to make sacrifices (like comfort, night’s out, etc.)
6) Be a student and learn (everyone is a beginner at first and don’t be afraid to try new things)
7) 21 90 rule: states that it takes 21 days to make a habit and 90 days to make it a permanent lifestyle
8) Food is fuel: eat in moderation, eat as many whole foods as possible, wouldn’t recommend tracking calories for peace and sanity
9) Food swaps:
10) Aim for progress NOT perfection !n: stop the all or nothing mentality. Anything that makes you 1% better than yesterday is PROGRESS
11) Take rest days (but for the right reasons and intention)
Last time what dragged me to the gym was literally the fact, that I was extremely tired but couldn't fall asleep for a nap, because I have insomnia. So I got up and went to the gym to get in movement to get the best nightsleep I could get. It worked.
i am so proud of you ❤
OH NAHHH. "stop pressuring us to workout Lena". Girl she's literally INSPIRING you to be HEALTHY. Keep doing what you're doing Lena🤍
Thank you beautiful!! ❤❤
Also, who comes to a workout channel to complaint that they’re being pressured to work out? That’s like complaining that all they do on American Idol is sing.
That part
This is random but you should start a podcast! I love your content and channel so much. you are my fitness inspiration and I’m so proud of how far you’ve come on your journey.
Health is wealth. As someone who works in the healthcare industry, nothing in life is enjoyable without health, no matter any other form of wealth. This is my why. To show up and enjoy the moment fully, to be the best version of myself, and to make sure that I am fully fit to enjoy the blessings in my life. ❤️
Love that sm ❤ thank you for all that you do as a healthcare worker!!
I’ve been quite lazy recently, eating unhealthy and wasting the whole day scrolling but you have motivated me to be better! Thank you
you got this!! i believe in you ❤❤
I am a crochet and knit FANATIC! An ideal day for me is literally sitting all day knitting and crocheting. But I LOOOOVE your channel cuz you constantly remind me how important movement and routine is. I now have my lil morning routine where I can fit in crochet/knit AND exercise in my day. Thank you so much! 🥰🥰🥰
AWWW I love that that’s such a productive fun hobby I want to try that too!! ❤ so proud of you
Homeschooling momma to 3, one is special needs - I'm just trying to be the healthiest (mentally, spiritually, & physically) to show up for these kiddos and myself.
LOVE THAT FOR YOU! ❤ so proud of you mama
Same here ...mother of two, one with special need.. thinking of home schooling. Wants to be mentally spiritual and physically strong for myself and for them.😊
@@tr7339 we’ve loved our experience with homeschooling! There have been hard days for sure, but it’s been very rewarding. 💕
I don’t know why but when you say “ your not a enfluencer … your a full time student your already really busy..” it make me want to cry… I’m from Canada and I go trough soooooi much ting that I can’t all tell about it… it make me want to cry cause I put so much pressure on my self … and this day my life is up and down.. soo thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

• i want to feel the burnish feeling and the feeling of the next day after u work out bc it makes me feel so good abt myself
• i want to physically look better so i will fit in w my fellow dancers (i do have a pretty slim body but im not v muscular, thats what i rly care abt)
my three non negotiables
• i will work out four times a week
• i will eat healthy 80% of my meals
• i will always warm up and cool down
bonus non negotiable lol
• i will do pilates and dance cardio
Hi Lena! I’m a young teen and I found your channel one day and instantly fell in love. My “why” is to become a better athlete. I play lacrosse and basketball and I want to build endurance.
1. I will go to the gym at least once per week (I normally do home workouts)
2. I will run at least twice a week
3. I will make sure to only eat one treat per day
My "why" is that i wanna become the best version of myself and look at the mirror with a smile on my face. im tired of always being lazy and not having energy. i wanna change my negative mindset and be the best version of myself like i said.
I’m new to the fitness journey and fell off this past week (I’m on my period so I can’t fully put myself down). Lena you are a big source of motivation I appreciate you!!
I’m starting this fitness journey to have better health and better habits than just be on my phone. I’m driving for discipline over motivation!
Monday: cardio in the morning, legs in the afternoon
Tuesday: chest, tris, shoulders
Wednesday: back and biceps
Thursday: legs and glutes
And the rest of the week I take for myself to rest (mainly cause of work)
I’ve done this the past month and it actually helps me! I had my week to chill and care for myself but I’m making sure I stay disciplined!! Love you Lena!! ✨
I started my workout journey at the end of December because I wanted to improve my physical health so that I didn’t struggle so much doing everyday physical tasks and walking and not only have these tasks become much easier, I’ve also been able to lose some excess weight that I gained from unhealthy eating and inactivity! My initial goal was to work out twice a week with a mix of cardio/strength/and HIIT training and now I am up to 3/4 days a week!! Your videos are such an inspiration for me and I wouldn’t have been so successful without your videos being such a great motivator to actually improve my quality of life!
Hii,Lena I am 13 and I started watching you 3 months ago and you have helped me so much i am really insecure about myself but you have helped me feel so much better, I started reading the book you recommended atomic habits and it has helped me so much, I broke my leg last Saturday but you have made me feel strong and bc of you I have became so much better in my life, ngl I was a really messy person and after I watched your videos you helped me be more productive, and now I wake up at 5 am to get ready for school before I broke my leg. And i used to wake up at 7:30 and my school starts at 8 but you helped me so much i feel like you are my older sister and you give me so much advice. Thank you so much❤
I am so so proud of you!! ❤ keep it up
@@lenalifts ty so much 💗
all or nothing is so true for me cause i really had this 1hr workout plan for almost a month and due to some reason i skipped two days and i didn't even realise when those 2 days became two months and now almost 6 months are over. gonna use this vedio as my sign to resume my routine coz if i can do that for a month i know that i do have the potential of working and i can go for it. ilysm for this vedio
leaving a comment here so i remember the start of my fitness journey ♥
my why: want to create a healthier lifestyle for myself and improve my confidence!
three non-negotiables: (1) will only have ramen once per month (2) will practice dance once every week (3) will go on a morning 1-mile run & stretch
thank u lena for the video~ 😊
I am so glad I found you. My WHY is to feel better, improve my health, and get my energy back. I have been trying to get my daily steps, I am strength training 3 days a week and working on doing it 4 days a week. My guilty pleasure is cheerwine zero. I lLOVE my sweets too and I have been swapping for healthier options.
I’m down 22 lbs but I have a lot more to go ❤❤❤❤
I am 16 years old and the short story is, I am basically obese. Your video helped me actually focus on my weight loss goal and actually be serious about myself and the person I wanna become. Thank you so much❤
I JUST LOVE YOUR POSITIVITY and the fact that u want your others to grow with u is just awesome ❤❤
I love how you include such transparency and realistic advice.
Because all these influencers just motivate and don’t talk about being more realistic to our own lifestyles.
❤❤❤
thank you sm beautiful!! love uuu ❤
Omg I'm getting ready for work and listening to the video podcast style. Lena has the perfect voice for it and the content is valuable ❤
I’m 52yrs old and everything you say resonates with me. You make more sense than anyone I’ve come across, so glad I found your channel. Love your insights and inspiration 😊
Hey Lena! I turn 15 this year and honestly, Ive been throught so much to the point ive deleted and re-made my accounts, got into good habits, fell into the bad ones etc etc and you're videos motivate me SO much! Right now, Im feeling better but since the start of the 2nd simester of school my grades slipped, mental health got bad and started being unhealthy (yes, again). You're videos motivate me so much and make me feel so much better ❤️ I hope that I can start being healthy again, both mentally and physically (i have my phone only on the weekends and have nothing to look forward to most days soo 😅 yeah im a mess) Been zoning out etc etc so this is a reminder to everyone wether your an adult or teenager that everything will be alright ❤ and somedays we fall and we CAN get back up! Dont give up yall, we can do it!! 🫂🫂
Hiii Lena my goal is to build strength and endurance, also feel the best mentally and physically. Since last year I have been working out but this year I am trying to be more consistent and feel more confident in myself. You have really helped me stay motivated and focused on my goals so thank you.
Lena you have no idea how encouraging you've been through all your videos! Literally an angel and i enjoy your content so much
Today is day 20 of my 21-day challenge. After day 21, I'm getting myself active wear to carry on with my new healthy lifestyle. I'm glad you talked about it.
And you have been my biggest motivation. I'm so glad I found your channel😊.
PS After 3 weeks of consistently working out, I feel more confident and lighter. And my days are generally more productive.
Thank you Lena!
I am so proud of you!! ❤❤❤
Just discovered your yt channel and gurl, I've never been into vloggers but 👀 babe I just felt amazing and comfy from the very first moment. Literally the only one which messages really gets me ✨️ real motivation
this video was much needed, i was making excuses for the past few weeks but now is the time to stop being lazy, even if its just for a 10 minutes workout, thank you lena
Love your take on calories and moderation. I really struggle with slipping into disordered eating habits and thoughts whenever I diet. This balanced approach is so much more realistic and achievable for me
Thank you Lena, iv been binge watching netflix instead of sleeping. I need to do better, im always exhausted. def need to up my workout game & nutrition. Great motivational talk.
I’m 4-5 months into keeping a workout routine and your videos have helped support my hype along the way!
I wanted to add that for people intimidated by keeping a routine for 21 days, remember that rest days/hot girl walks + stretching/being a potato are a part of that routine and are powerful assets if you’re intentional about them! I also have a TH-cam playlist of videos to watch on my cardio days that help me look forward to my treadmill/bike time ☺️ (Best believe you’re HEAVY in that playlist rotation Lena 🎉)
My Why: I want to be the most vibrant, confident and happiest version of myself. Moving my body feels good in the moment, makes me feel accomplished and enhances my energy/mood throughout the day.
1. I will stay consistent for 1 week, to start. And increase my consistency each week. I will stay optimistic!
2. I will eat healthy and be conscious about what and when I eat. Food is fuel not comfort. I will consume less processed foods and sugars.
3. I will journal my day ahead of time. I will plan out what I would love my day to look like to keep me in check. This help me create a realistic expectation of what I am capable of doing. ❤
Thanks Lena! Love you boo! ✨🤍🙏
My why is to feel the best I ever felt and to have more energy during each day so I can continue to grow physically and mentally ❤
You go girl! I have been consistent this year and man, my body feels so different in a good way. It’s literally life changing. I set up goals and challenges for myself and when I complete it, it’s the best reward to know that I did that. ;)
I was just journaling this morning about wanting to start working out and staying consistent! When I saw this pop up, I was like omg you are a QUEEN🤭🤍!!!
ILYSM you are so motivating + inspiring. I cannot say it enough👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Hi Lena! I just started going to CrossFit with my mom and lately I've been seeing some good resulta not only physically but I'm so much more happier. My WHY is because I want to be healthy, and I want to be confident in my own body. You channel has motivated me and I've been going for abt 2 weeks now!
thank you Lena! im 21 years old and im trying to start working out for couple years, but it never worked out. this video really helped and motivated me, so i will start running!
at the end of 2023 i finally got over my fear of the gym (ok it’s still there a little but we’re trying) and got back into a consistent routine, then got sick for 2 weeks in january and couldn’t workout and it was horrible. really once you start working out and get consistent with it it feels AMAZING and now im consistent with working out, i still have a lot to learn but im learning so much from you lena
Girl I was consistent 2 years ago and then fell off because of stress from school and overworking myself but we have a stable job now and now I have a routine :) can’t wait to keep up my consistency ☺️
THE TRUTH! Don’t apologize, people are too sensitive but telling the truth is important! I appreciate everything you said in this video! Def need this push ❤
I have been missing you for 10 days. I always reminded myself that Lena will make up my day in a moment. You always make me stay motivated and make my day. How was your week? Mine was good, and you made it better. luv you lena
awwww ily sm consistent uploads are coming ❤❤❤
I started my workout journey less than a year ago and you have been my top motivator throughout it all. I would chug pre workout or coffee and watch your videos before I would workout to get me mentally prepared😂 thanks so much for your positive energy and not being afraid to tell us the hard truth🫶🏽
I’ve been working out since the start of 2024 and I’ve already lost a lot of weight (healthily). U inspired me to do it, giving me motivation when I needed it and helped me discipline when I didn’t want to go 😭😭 u also helped me get into praying in the morning/night. I’ve become the girl I’ve wanted to be for years. Thank you so much 💗💗💗🫶🫶🫶🫶
hi lena! im 15 and ive always put off going to the gym, but this video gave me so much inspiration. just know your helping alot of young girls start their fitness journey. thank you! 💗💗
Lena you are my wellness big sister. You are so relatable and real. Like I genuinely believe that watching your videos have changed EVERYTHING for me. Keep killing it xxxx
LOVE U SM THANK YOU ❤
my why: I’ve been in a slump lately. im mentally and emotionally drained. I’m tired of not living up to the standards I have for myself and falling short in almost everything I do. I’m tired of living my life the way I am so something needs to change. Exercising helps with a lot, especially when it comes to mental health. I’m doing it for my mental state, she deserves better up there 🙂
Hi lena, I didn't want to workout and I remembered what you said in your previous video, that you have to stay consistent, so I just did a 15 min ab workout and feel so much better. Thanks for video lena, it always comes at the end of the day and I love ending my day with your videos.
Lena i just wanted to say your videos were one of the primary reasons i started working out. I’m barley on week 3 but i am going strong. Thank you !! 💗💗
Hello Lena, thank you very much ❤ Been feeling low since I started to slack off after 5 weeks of consistent workout and wasn't seeing any difference in my weight. And I ended up indulging more junk and sugary foods...As I was scrolling I came across your video today, and you made my day! I now get where are my mistakes in my fitness journey. Thanks again feeling grateful to your videos and your amazing vibrational energy 🙏🏾
You’re so inspiring. NO CAP. I’m trying to romanticize cardio & every time I do elevated walks on the treadmill I have to pull up Lena’s motivational videos lol it helps me get thru my 20min cardio 😭. My WHY is to have a healthier lifestyle and show my daughter someday how to have a healthy relationship w/ her body. Thank you for continuing to post content like this! Much love! 🫶🏼
ILY SM and im so honored to be part of your cardio routine ❤❤ your daughter is so blessed to have such a hardworking inspiring mama!!!
Since the start of the new year I have worked out 3 times a week, even sometimes more and as well as fixing my sleep schedule I feel so much healthier physically and mentally. Your videos give me something to look forward to every week and I genuinely picture you cheering me on when trying to do my last reps at the gym and it helps me push through
girl, i love u the MOSTTT. I'm actually 14 and I've always been fat and bullied, but when I started watching ur videos I firstly didn't have any energy to do anything, and now I'm slowly starting to love me and my time. I hope I can write another comment one day saying I totally made it. love uuuu❤
ILY MORE also im so so sorry you're getting bullied i know how horrible that feels. sending you sm love you got this!! ❤
Lena! Your advice always hits home - it's me against me, striving for progress every day! This video came just in time. I've been slacking, but no more excuses! Your uploads always light up my fitness journey 🌟💖 Let's keep that motivation flowing! 💪
hey, thank you soooo much because I've spent ALL week lounging in my bed watching TH-cam. Your video is the only one that made me get up and workout, thank you so so sooo much! xx ❤❤
Lena i didn’t see this video the other day but i started going to the gym with one of my best friends and we honestly feel so much better not only physically but mentally. Your channel and your personality inspires me to be the best version of myself! Not only exiting my lazy girl era but also beginning my healthy girl era
I love your videos. They often help me to get back on track and motivate me again when I'm not feeling it. Also your spotify playlist helps me to actually get up and start my pre-workout and workout. Thank you so much for that!
I struggle with bad health anxiety so I feel like working out would be a great outlet for me and also a way to promote my cardiac/ respiratory AND mental health. I also look back to times when I finished a workout and felt so proud of myself and just had this really crazy internal boost of energy which made me feel like I could take on anything.
I fell off working out for the past couple of weeks without even realizing it. But seeing your video gave me so much motivation & inspiration to start again! I wrote down all your tips, & gonna incorporate a few workouts in. I signed up for my first ever half marathon in April, & I have been lacking motivation to train but I'm definitely going to start up again until race day! You're legit my fav fitness content creator because you are so REAL & literally give THEEE BEST advice! Thank you for being such an amazing inspiration & overall amazing human being! LOVE YA GIRLLL!! ☺🤍
I AM SO SO PROUD OF YOU MY MARATHON QUEEN!! ❤❤ you got this
Hi Lena!! I’m 16 nearly 17 and I have become serious with my weight and body for about a month now,this was after you woke me up! Made me motivated to grab life with both hands and take control! So my workout routine at the minute is I weighted hula hoop 7 days a week for as long as possible and I’ve so far lost 10ibs! Even my family are noticing it! I even have a little ab line forming in the middle of my tummy! I can’t thank you enough for what you’ve done for me! And what you continue doing!! All my love ❤️
Really needed this. I fell off-track last year after a horrible breakup and been slowly getting back on track with healthy habits. This video really meant a lot
Hey Lena ! I have been watching your content since 2020 and i genuinely hope this time that I've started will consistent. This has helped, thank you❤️
I am turning 16 very soon and I want to start running. I have been a subscriber of yours for a long time now, after watching your videos I get motivation to workout BUT i never do it anyway and always say ''I will start later''... This video actually has motivated me not to give up and go for my goal to set a new, healthy habit. I love you and thank you, Lena!😙❤❤
Omg u are the first person to say do not track calories. I’ve been struggling so much with working out and food and it’s been stressful to track my calories. And I deal with anxiety and depression too. This video came just in time I needed to hear this. I’m going to be getting back on my journey! ❤️
I’ve been struggling with my hip and my back lately so I’ve been nervous to start strength training again… but I do try to move everyday. I love my hot girl walks, dancing, and staying active regardless. I’m down 33 pounds total from my heaviest weight and it’s only the beginning. Love the motivation from your videos!
i haven’t been THIS early in so long so i just want to say how proud i am of you and how much your videos really do help me. genuinely thank you so much 🤍🤍🤍 ALSO it’ll be three years since i started watching you this year 🤧
It's like you knew I needed this video. About a week ago I went to a doctor's appointment and found out my liver enzymes were high. Im getting closer to 30 and I just know I need to take care of my health. I have a wedding coming up also but my health is what is going to keep me motivated. I got this, we got this ❤️❤️ thanks for this video and I love your honesty in this one ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Lena, love your video!! One major thing that helped with my physical fitness journey is therapy. At some point in my life my spirit broke and I detached myself from myself along the way. My journey to finding my self-worth through therapy lead me to physical fitness again. Please everyone, take care of yourselves mentally too ❤
Hi Lena! i started running a few weeks now, and i really enjoy, i put my headphones on and just run, it's amazing how it makes me fell! i really love your videos and all the energy you show!
I'm also struggling with my belly since always, and a little bit with my food relationship, want to change! thanks for all your motivation and videos!! - Also, thanks because for your videos i can keep my English fluent! (from Argentina) so, thank (again) for everything 🥰🥰🥰🥰

Every time you upload you really spark more motivation in my fitness journey 💪
long time watcher/subscriber, first time commenter here 🙋🏻♀️ Lena, let me tell you, your words and energy just have a way to my soul on my good days and even on my down days like today.. i cried, like bowled my eyes out, when you moved into your new apartment because you just worked so hard for this 😩 thank you for your presence in this world 💖 i feel motivated to tackle my tasks for the day!
Thank you for the motivation and positive self love talk. I must go to the gym again and maintain a consistent schedule love the positive and keeping self discipline is key 💗
Lena plz never stop making these videos, you have no idea how much you're helping me ❤ thank you so much
ILY SM YOU KEEP ME GOING ❤❤❤
(Commenting to help feed the algorithm!) I’ve been a weightlifting athlete for years but I still watch these videos because they’re a great boost and I love the positive messaging. It’s great to see how many other people have been inspired to workout more consistently because of you, Lena. Much love from a Canadian subscriber 🤍🤍🤍
At the gym right now, and I swear this is like the 100th time I’ve watched this ❤ thank you Lena for keeping me going!!!! 🔥
Lena I just started following you from a month. But I can say that from a month, you changed my whole life. I started being motivated again and I started working out.Thank you so much and I love u 🥰❤❤❤
Hey Lena ❤ I want to just say thank you for your content I am on my fitness journey and I struggle a lot with commitment to my fitness goals after watching this I gave myself realistic goals. I thank you so much for the push and support. Sometimes we need someone to remind us to keep going!
Hey Lena im a 13 year old and overweight and ive been having a hard time with changing my life and getting better but after watching you and seeing your videos I am now slowly changing. So thank you for being an inspiration to me ❤ Also GIRL you are such a tole model.
Theese videos are so helpful. I have started working out and stopped so many times because the "all or nothing" mentality and got discouraged if i didnt see progress quickly. After watching your videos i started changing my mind set and realised i love streching and i have been consistently streching from july last year. This is the longest i have ever been consistent. Thank you for theese vidoes, you help so may people☺️💕
This channel has something to offer and make yourself a better positive person with goals.
I agree I've been working out now for about 7 weeks and its been a challenge and its been a change for the better.. And now I'm really motivated and very time I watch your vids I get more motivated. So thank you.
I’m so shook that someone commented “stop pressuring people to workout” 😭 your name is Lena LIFTS
anyway, just wanted to share that you’ve been helping me get back into the gym. my mental health has been trash and watching your videos has given me the motivation I couldn’t give myself 🩷 last night’s gym day was the first in weeks (maybe even a couple months)
I started working out at the start of November and was disciplined till January but in feb I started skipping workouts and you video actually gave me a boost to stop skipping days
Thank you so much Lena, this really helped me learn more. I have been working out for a few years now, but not consistently, so I am trying to workout more without any excuses!
start a podcast!! Also your advice is literally always ringing in my head when at the gym or pre-gym with your music.
Hi Lena!! My WHY for working out is to get into shape so I may be able to conceive. I'm already 32 yrs. old and people keep saying there is no deadline but really, THERE IS🤣. I have been adviced by my OBGYN to keep my weight in check. Looking so fit ans model-like is just a bonus for me!
As for those who feel like it's too superficial to workout, it's totally a scientific or medical thing to keep your body moving in any way you can. For those who don't have time, I've been there, too. I became a college instructor and juggling other VA jobs and heck, time was challenging but I pushed myself to workout on off-days in school. Working out also helped me out to navigate through stressful days.
Love you, Lena. Thanks for hyping me up today!
I am so so proud of you and wishing you the best on your fitness and motherhood journey ❤❤❤
There's a family reunion in my house and kids are just..... Lovely I guess. I locked myself in my room with someone's baby and here is my reward... A lena video. I hope the kids don't somehow break the door. Lol. And I've been actually struggling a little bit with working out bc of my exams. So here is motivation. Luv u lena😚💋💜💜
Lena girl when is the podcast coming?!?! I need one from you. You and mai and Leo skepi are my favorite rn🫶🫶
MY GIRL IS BACK!! Happy belated birthday my angel! I truly have no words to describe how you made me look at fitness and food in a realistic manner. Everyone, this is your girl right here, she's seriously the definition of authenticity! Love you so much queen, seriously 2024 is your 24K magic year queen!
Thank you sm Richa bae ily sm ❤❤❤ wishing you an amazing 2024!!!
The wayy I jumped 🦘😭 your video's aree really a motivation for me to be a better meee!!!!!!
Girl I LOVE your energy, advice, videos, just everything😍 this is the second video of yours that I watch and I am ready to change my life lol Thank you for the motivation!!!🫶🏼
I love the part where you recognize that everyone has a different privilege, and that we need to tailor our workouts to US. A lot of people on this platform go for, not necessarily on purpose, but the "guilt-tripping" route where it's all "STOP MAKING EXCUSES." And while it's important to have discipline, sometimes our lives don't allow us too. But it's so nice and refreshing to see someone recognizing this!
as a 16 year old , i really wanted to be a better version of myself . your videos motivates me so much.😘😘Thank you so much lina
Lena I’m so obsessed with ur tips!I started 5 months ago and the results is AMAZING I have my dream body I will never stop watching ur tips and videos!💕
I really enjoy watching your videos before my workouts, feels like we’re getting ready for the gym together. Hope you’re having a great day🩷
Lena ! I love your realness, and you are saying exactly what everyone should hear! How we all interpret it, and feel about it can vary, but I think you are correct in every way. We’re all pushing to be better, and the fact is, we have to have mental fortitude. We’re all determined to be better, stronger, and healthier. That is real beauty in every way!! Keep up the great work 💯💯🙌🏽🙌🏽❤️🔥
I will begin working out so I can boost my confidence and work on my discipline and motivation. You mentioned that while you were disciplining yourself to remain consistent in your workouts, it positively affected your focus in other areas of your life. As someone who gets easily distracted, I think that working will benefit me there too.
